VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[f96zonetrooper]

5 exclusive paths was a pretty decent idea ...

The transition from free dating to serious relationship in Episode 8 was not perfect and for most players probably rough.

I remember my DIK mc being Sage's fuckbuddy and having a threesome with Sage and Quinn shortly before the decision. At some point mc automatically told Sage that he wants more, a more serious relationship, ...
Then at the decision point the player could choose between Sage and Others. If the player chose Others, mc went to Sage and canceled their intimate relationship including the fuckbody status. So afterwards mc could have sex with many of the HOTs including Quinn, but Sage was no longer available.
Players who do not intend mc to have a serious relationship with Sage anyway would avoid mc telling her that he wants more and instead just keep the fuckbody friendship as it is, but that is not an option in the game.
On the other side if the player chose Sage, then all the options to have sex with Quinn, Riona, etc are automatically turned down.

I have the impression that DPC had lots of ideas for the break-up scenes for different characters and by forcing players to break up with many Main Girls, those scenes are played. It is like a gunpoint theatre for wedding / break-up scenes. It feels very much forced.
The break-up scenes are not bad. It is just that most players would probably rather choose a compromise instead of a hard break up with an LI. So the scenes do not fit to the story based on player decisions so far.

It would be different if previous decisions in the game would have distributed kind of Love Points to the LIs and LIs with low point count would automatically change into friendship mode, so the player would actually have to work towards a path from start. However such a game design would force players to play Season 1-2 up to 5 times to see all the content ...

hmm... let's say, the further we go in the game and closer to the end, the % of scenes, even the "canon" ones will reveal and spoiler too much with each new episode to be shown as preview. Even if we assume, that this EP11 will also be released sometime in December, DPC already spent 2 months not giving us any, and it means that to maintain the previous number of previews per episode he have to release them more frequent than he did before. It was a 1 preview in ~12 days for EP10. To get same 30 previews for EP11, he have to release them every 9-10 days if he will start it just now.

And the release of previews also depends on the scenes he is working on. He will not specifically change something in his schedule or adjust his creative mood just to write some kind of suitable for the preview scene today or tomorrow. He mentioned that he started working on static renders and even mentioned that he already has ~400 of them ready (200 for the very lewd scene that he mentioned and 200 for regular scenes), and since we still haven't got any previews of ~15% of the total number of renders in the EP11, means that all of them are unsuitable for previews, because would have reveal or spoiler too much. Of course, there will be casual scenes like those you gave as an example above, but with each new episode their number and the total percentage will be less and less as well as DPC ability to release something suitable on a regular way and tempo as is was before.

if we are inflexible anything is a spoiler, and there is no preview that doesn't reveal something. but fortunately this is not the situation for DPC, in time we saw at the preview of Quinn and Sage together which in theory could have revealed the possible threesome next, but it was not a problem.

i put here a few sample renders, all taken from the thanksgiving dinner, which was, from a plot perspective , one of the most important moments of the last chapter. what surprise would these previews have spoiled?

I took them randomly, otherwise I would not have chosen Derek....

In my opinion they would not have ruined anything.

DPC said he was working on a pretty important sex scene (from a plot point of view they all are) so it may be that the renders he has so far developed are really too revealing of this scene (as the threesome with Sage and Quinn might have been, or the first one with Zoey or Bianca would have been). and that is acceptable.

but to say it's complicated, we're in the middle of the game not the epilogue, to find renders that don't spoil anything is really going too far

Let's say, that I, personally would read clearly that they are at the Maya's place. And the only reason to go to her place is Thanksgiving. We got a hint about the time lapse of EP10 when DPC mentioned Thanksgiving DIKs party. We already seen the main menu images of her home too. It was only a matter of time when it would happen. Anyway, Maya + MC (Derek, etc) in an absolutely new environment like that is a huge spoiler. We seen Sage's home, we know how the MC, Josy, Bella places looks like, etc. Anything new or the one which can be guessed is a spoiler. But something innocent and canon like the classes or yoga are not. The most "spoilerish" things are usually put for $40 tier and even they won't tell too much.

Regarding your examples - problem is that you think that something doesn't reveal something because it's your vision and point of view, but DPC knows it better since he is an author. He feels it quite better than any of us. Any of his previews reveals nothing, spoilers nothing, but most of the time produce a lot of guesses and theories. You can check the previous previews posts and read for some pages after them. That's exactly the goal of well picked render for the preview. So it's easy to assume that he haven't a suitable ones so far at the moment. They are all either too spoiler or too boring.

 

[f96zonetrooper]

The game itself is changing too, we have passed the "middle" and are moving towards the end, although it is still relatively far away.

According to DPC the game will have at least 14 episodes to tell the main story, so the rest of the story likely fits into around 4 episodes and might be comparable to the content of Episodes 7-10. That's not that much content left.

(Ep7 : 1st clash with Maya's father, working to repair the mansion, party at the HOTs' mansion.
Ep8 : Gym work out, dating, the dorm party,
Ep9 : visit at the Burkes' and Halloween party,
Ep10 : Thanksgiving party and visit to Maya's family. )

My guess so far for next episodes :
Ep11 (2024) will mostly continue Ep9-10's stories dealing with Vinny and Maya's problem.
Ep12 (2025) Xmas holyday
Ep13 (2026) college stuff (exams), dating
Ep14 (2027) Easter holyday / Spring Break

Where is MC?
among the 4 pictures I posted in only one can you catch a glimpse of another person, and it is not necessarily MC.

Maya or Sage (not both but either one) in an environment not immediately recognizable does not spoil anything.

one of those 4 images would have spoiled absolutely nothing
and I intentionally chose imemages from an important scene, if I had chosen ones from a secondary scene it would have been too easy

you are deliberately forcing the argument to defend your position

the fact that DPC is the author in discussing previews of a chapter we have already played is of no value. before we play it he knows things we don't, but once we have played it, on that chapter we are on a level playing field.

#1 Skin and skin tone of the guy in the white sweater. We know that only MC and Tommy shares the same skin and such tone. The MC's skin tone in game is a pig like pink There is no sense that this is Tommy, so it's MC. MC usually don't wear such clothes. Why he is in sweater? Probably because he had to meet some specific "standards". Who could have the most "strange" standards and ideas about them? Probably Patrick. Well, Maya sitting nearby MC only confirms this guess and where they are.

#3 Derek in a sweater (very uncommon thing with him, you know), in a new place and with a picture or photograph of a Christian cross behind his back. What would be your guess? What the hell is the place and what's happening there?

#4-5 Maya which is worried or upset about something in a completely new place and in a very "modest" and covering outfit. Up to the moment in the game, we haven't visited only the Maya's home. What a chance that she/they at some random place rather than her home? Since it's obviously a someone's home, not a restaraunt, nor an office - make your guesses.

#2 Well, only this picture could be considered as a less or more spoiler free. But DPC shown us Sage in a more decent and convenient place(s) / scenes. A date with her in restaraunt, spending time with her in HOT's pool and fucking her in the tent at the BBQ party. Feel free to swap one of those I mentioned with one you picked for her. I think DPC made a better choice. What about you?

Just pay attention to details (not in a way and approach that dalli_x usually uses, hell no! ). If you don't see some odd things and resembles in the pictures you suggested to use as previews it's ok, but others will notice and figure out and then spread out everywhere. The difference is that the properly picked preview can generate a dozens of guesses and theories with no obvious winners. And the other thing when someone will find out and write a dominating theory with a hard grounds for it for a badly picked preview, so it will become a spoiler finally. Do you feel the difference and purpose of a really good preview?

 

[f96zonetrooper]

DPC said he was working on a pretty important sex scene (from a plot point of view they all are) so it may be that the renders he has so far developed are really too revealing of this scene (as the threesome with Sage and Quinn might have been, or the first one with Zoey or Bianca would have been). and that is acceptable.

The most revealing information would be the involved characters if they did not have sex before on screen, eg a scene with mc, Bella and Jill having sex would confirm a 2nd trouple. Maybe it's the long anticipated sex scene with mc, Sally and Karen (KRJ). Or Josy breaks up with Maya and forms a new trouple with Zoey and mc?

Problem is that a single render preview could always just be a preview of bonus renders instead of the main story.

 

[NonGrataPersona]

A long form game. I think I will enjoy it.

Sage from that scene was on DPС's profile in his discord server for a while, but no one could guess where she was.
The main flaw in your reasoning is that you're talking about it post facto, when the game is already out.
In hindsight, I for one agree with DPС's decision to hide the Sage preview from the player for most of the development. We ended up with a really huge surprise in the form of Sage being presented to the player in a new form.
Also, there's no guarantee that DPС has already created the scene in Bella's house. Maybe the first scene of ep 11 is the resolution of Riona's situation and his intention to ignore the previews makes sense.
But considering he spent a month making animations for the sex scenes, it's likely the renders are related to that. Could be a scene with Zoey or some kind of threesome, we can't get into DPC's head.

 

[Kpyna]

It won't be a code error and your guess that DPC has something planned for this later is probably correct. I wrote a very long and detailed post about it before I went to work, but deleted it because I wasn't sure if I should post that post. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to post it if it weren't for DPC's "There's no going back to not knowing." saying would be. The players would definitely be prepared, whether they believe me or not. I would spoil the surprise for DPC players. I'm only letting this much be seen so that not only Josy, but all LIs are affected by this and I can now well imagine why Quinn is not an LI and never will be.

DPC wrote recently that he doesn't plan to make a remaster of the first 2 seasons until the game is done and even after that's not in granite. This error was not fixed even after the whole Season 2 release. There are a few of similar easter eggs, unused renders, etc. You suppose he will update the first 2 seasons? I don't think so, nothing to update there. He even don't want to fetch the updated english mini-game into previous episodes, while it's a pretty simple task.

I'll write something to you now, if you see the importance of it, then you can PM me the answer and we'll talk about it further. If not, then that was my last word on it.

1161 =/+/- 10

I don't know what and why I'm doing it, but ok, feel me in! My weekend plans have gone to hell and I'm bored as fuck. So, it's time for X-Files, dalli_x files You sounded soooo sexy secretive, I'm fucking excited to read something like that!

I don't need to refresh anything. That's exactly why Josy only has an old Rooster profile picture of the MC, which was taken before the MC stopped being active on Rooster. That's when Emma posted that Rooster Cluck with Zoey. Only in EP3 does the MC use Rooster again, with his new profile picture. The chronology fits.

Nope. Otherwise his next question for Josy would be - how the hell she managed to get those photo, since they hadn't interacted in Rooster, neither MC used it until got to the college after Zoey stopped responding to him. There are 3 Rooster photos of MC. The very old one, which MC used when he was still in touch with Zoey, months ago and we never seen and will never see probably. The old one, MC used on his old phone from Episode 3 till Episode 6 end. What it could be? The photo Josy took at their date. And the new one, which MC is using in his new phone since Episode 7.

No, the picture clearly shows Josy and the MC together and the MC wouldn't have been that surprised by this picture because he was there when the picture was taken. This picture of what Josy is looking at on the laptop is the picture when the MC calls Josy.
View attachment 3341836

He surprised of why she saved it and the most important, where this photo was stored - among her personal photos, photos with Maya, etc. It means something, you know.

The reason Josy struggles to delete this picture is so that it reminds Josy that the MC told her he had a crush on her at that point. The MC rejected her, Josy just has a completely normal reaction to it. Josy also wants to delete this image from the "MY COMPUTER/IMAGES" folder and not from the OLD PICS or ROOSTER folder.

Nope. Because it's the only one photo with MC she had. Otherwise DPC would choice and show us something else. Only in EP10, both girls and MC started to make photos, save and share them. Of course it's a part of pleasing the "gallery" feature that could be senseless w/o this stuff, but still. Time and moment matched. Relationships grows, people usually start to do and share photos, etc, like IRL. Both a QoL and immersion improving update and feature.

I'll refresh your thoughts on the subject of motorcycles.
View attachment 3341837

What exactly you refreshed or tried to with this screenshot? I'm lost Help me.

Do you really think that "party without borders" won't have any impact? Not even after you played EP10 and probably noticed that the MC had a nightmarish memory of it so there was another cum petition where Brandi was with Tommy and Rose was with the MC. Who rubbed his cock on Rose before? Derek. What do we learn when players vote against "Party without Borders", i.e. the CHICK choice?

Spoiler: Screenshots

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Yeah, I think so. MC was a quite drunk to not fuck or be fucked by somebody when he blacked out in Pink Rose. What CUM-petition may lead to? Even if strippers grinded the drunk as fuck MC? They wouldn't fuck openly, because of Stanley, and MC was too drunk to pay them or to go in a private room either. And even there it was a "special" feature and was controllable by choices given and conditions checked.

STDs shit again? You know how to check MC for STDs and spare me of butterfly effect theories or the "different game worlds" on a different paths/branches. I mean there's no sense to get MC an STDs for J&M branch (the only one you play, lol) and save him from STDs on Jill's branch, just because she asked him to check himself. If you will try to argue, I'll say that you can romance Jill & J&M together and then dump J&M and still will get the same result with STDs check. At the same time J&M blocks MC from much more potential sexual contacts than even Jill. So make your math here.

I won't say that the STDs are not possible and won't play some role on some branch/path and/or because of some decision, but forget about it for first two seasons at least. Same goes for condoms. Same goes for drugs. S1-2 had a quite innocent options and introductions, while S3-4 will really "test" the MC.

Jade is a separate topic because Jade and JM are already mutually exclusive in EP4. Ergo, you mean Jade's Major Choice in EP3.
View attachment 3341845
Who could have noticed that? Senior feminist Dani. The hell with it. But it gets even better. Two scenes with Jade are canon with her putting her hand on the MC's leg and Jade grabbing the MC's ass. There is another canonical scene in EP9 when the MC thinks to himself so that Sage never finds out that her mother Jade hit on the MC. Hit on and not fucked. Then we find out canonically so that Stephen wants the divorce and Jade tells Stephen so that it ruins the reputation. Sage also knows so that her parents want to divorce. She didn't say it explicitly, but you can clearly tell. Even if the MC didn't do anything with Jade, there will be discord between Sage and the MC if Sage finds out about it. Of course it gets worse when the MC has become a bit DIK with Jade.

Of course EP3 Major choice, what else? Any other Jade content is blocked while MC being on J&M path. Dany haven't noticed anything. No chance, unless she have a wallhack built into her eyes and she seen through desk how Jade jerked off the MCs dick there.

Of course Josy blushed because the MC saw his old profile picture on Josy's cell phone. The MC just didn't bring it up so Josy lied in EP9 when she told the MC that she doesn't talk about the MC that much. That's the point, Josy had a crush on the MC even before they got their summer job together. This is all a bit embarrassing for Josy. That's all. I think Josy is damn cute in the entire scene.

Why would she won't blush if she showed him accidently their photo from date? I can't get your logic. One easy and simple question to you. What photo is more "cute" to look at and do other things with it (lol) - some imaginated and secret "very old" photo from Rooster or the one Josy took at their date? MC easily figured out that Josy talks a MUCH about him with her dad, so he wanted to speak with him by phone and invited him to back home with Josy together in a subtle way.

Maya explains to the MC at Thanksgiving dinner why she sometimes seems cold. It's because of her mother, because otherwise she wouldn't be able to lead a normal life. She's so used to it that she can't stop doing it all the time. It is Maya's self-protection from disappointments. That's not unusual.

Acting cold when you have to used to something is not similar to act cold with your boyfriend or girlfriend. I don't think that Maya was "cold" with Josy. Self-protection from disappointments - yes. But it have nothing with having sex, etc. She wasn't that cold at dorm party or in 3-some at Halloween. In EP10 in J&M branch she came there to fuck, literally, she find herself comfortable with MC, which is new to her and she enjoys it and became more confident because of this.

The whole restaurant thing will come back to the MC whether the MC declined or accepted the offer. If Sage finds out about the restaurant and that the MC knew about it, Sage will confront the MC. Of course it gets worse if the MC accepted the offer and the next level of escalation would be if he used the restaurant.

Quinn have no proofs other than MC "yes" he said to her in case he accepted the offer but never used restaurant.

People get sick, that's true. But I forgot to write down one detail. When you are sick, you need medicine, but when you have injuries like swelling, bruises, you should put ice on it. What does Riona want to get again? Real ice cream. Let's be honest, Mick and Vinny didn't ask Riona to get in the van, they forcefully put Riona in the van. I would be more surprised if Riona doesn't even have a bruise. So we already know what Mick and Vinny have done, just not what they're going to do next. Of course it's a foreshadowing. I would be surprised if DPC had been a bit more explicit. I just mean so that it wasn't written on the red sneakers that Chad and Troy are a gay couple.

ouff... Riona wanted the ICE, not the ice-cream. The fridge at the HOTs is broken and can't produce ICE. That's what she talked about to MC and goed for it.

You're misunderstanding something. This is all a huge clue. What do we learn from Becky herself in EP10? That she doesn't know who the guy with the big cock in the photo is and Becky considers not only the MC, but also Leon. Why? Because Leon wrote it himself in a Rooster Cluck and Sarah did that too. What is Becky known for? Gossip. Next to Becky are Riona and Camila and if the MC was DIK, the two of them had a lot of gossip. Including the canonical cum petition. I also want a DIK to fuck brother Becky. Whom? Leon, Becky's second candidate. Leon said yes so he wouldn't sleep alone in the tent.

Becky is a dumb stupid bitch. Even if you let her blow MC at the HOT's party she will not recognize it until you lose Beer Pong by playing with Camila (or auto lose being on shrooms). Leon, Tommy... god, they are gossip more than Becky sometimes. Leon wanted the dorm girls to think it was his dick, just to bang with of them, or to get a chance at least.

Maya's courage challenge to Josy is exaggerated with the beer pong. Josy asked Maya for a kiss, nothing more. I think it's better not to let Josy and Maya's Chicken Race get out of hand. This could lead to problems between Josy and Maya at some point. It's one thing to have a threesome relationship, but it's another thing to keep a threesome relationship going.

Some hints for ya: a-n-a-l, s-a-g-e Josy will struggle, ofc, but won't chicken out, lol. And bringing Sage into the bed could have a consequences for their relationship. But honestly, such scene would be so fucking damned hot and complex, that's no way the DPC will made it optional lol. But who knows. Sage & Quinn was optional too and the consequences is barely, but already visible. Dare game is their thing for the moment. How long in will last and where will lead to, nobody knows

No, I only have 1 save without beer pong. Maya then just challenges Josy to kiss the MC in a socially embarrassing way. Are you familiar with that? It's exactly what Josy said during English class. Without beer pong, you're killing three birds with one stone. The chicken race doesn't get out of hand, Becky doesn't get any gossip material and Leon has a night with Becky.

I'm aware of it. Regarding Becky - she never attend or comes close when Josy plays with MC. In case with Josy - gossip about what? naked Josy? Is it some kind of material to gossip for?

Fact, there is money. The images still have a connection to the game. Moon and money. The MC can steal money from Jill and that had consequences. So it's better not to steal money from Maya. What do the giant spider, the fire and the film tape have in common? There was a giant spider in Leon's room in EP9 and the MC even said that he wasn't afraid of spiders, but then they don't have to be that big. What happened to the room? The conversation between Heather and the MC. Elena tells Tommy in EP8 so he could get burned and which room definitely wasn't checked for cameras? Tommy's room where he fucked Christie. Hamsters and flowers. What the MC has to take care of. His pets and his plant.

When MC steal money from Jill it sets a particular variable to "True" and noticed even in official guide. Any other money "stealing" is not tracked or recorded and can't have consequences bc this actions doesn't set any variables. And I'll skip the rest

The fish will bring money and the flowers will bring good blowjobs. The remaining two pictures have to do with Josy and Maya. Maya and Josy became a couple when they shared a tent together in the summer and a year later, Josy, Maya and the MC are lying in a tent where it's cold outside. Equal three-way relationship.

What if MC found that "gay" or forget to water them in EP8? No blowjobs then?! The fuck?!

You only see the UFO, but I see three kids going to a house. What movie did Maya and the MC watch in EP1? ”The Secret in His Closet". There is a Jonathan who is supposed to hide under the bed. Who can hide under Maya's bed. The MC. Even the title of the film is somehow familiar. In Derek's Closet, Is there something secret? A camera. Maybe more.

Kids supposed to hide from the UFO? Or a crazy old man they watched for? Is that old man came from UFO? Let's figure this out, because it seems quite important

I wrote dialogue until Wednesday, after which I started working on static renders to get a short break from writing. I've been working on Sage, Quinn, Jill and some other spoilery scenes. I have a good flow going on with the art and will continue working on it next week.

I am planning what I can show as the first preview. I'm sure there will be something to show this month.

The animation queue is still looking solid. PCs have a good render speed and plenty left to render.

The MC's skin tone in game is a pig like pink There is no sense that this is Tommy, so it's MC. MC usually don't wear such clothes. Why he is in sweater? Probably because he had to meet some specific "standards". Who could have the most "strange" standards and ideas about them? Probably Patrick. Well, Maya sitting nearby MC only confirms this guess and where they are.

#3 Derek in a sweater (very uncommon thing with him, you know), in a new place and with a picture or photograph of a Christian cross behind his back. What would be your guess? What the hell is the place and what's happening there?

#4-5 Maya which is worried or upset about something in a completely new place and in a very "modest" and covering outfit. Up to the moment in the game, we haven't visited only the Maya's home. What a chance that she/they at some random place rather than her home? Since it's obviously a someone's home, not a restaraunt, nor an office - make your guesses.

#2 Well, only this picture could be considered as a less or more spoiler free. But DPC shown us Sage in a more decent and convenient place(s) / scenes. A date with her in restaraunt, spending time with her in HOT's pool and fucking her in the tent at the BBQ party. Feel free to swap one of those I mentioned with one you picked for her. I think DPC made a better choice. What about you?

Just pay attention to details (not in a way and approach that dalli_x usually uses, hell no! ). If you don't see some odd things and resembles in the pictures you suggested to use as previews it's ok, but others will notice and figure out and then spread out everywhere. The difference is that the properly picked preview can generate a dozens of guesses and theories with no obvious winners. And the other thing when someone will find out and write a dominating theory with a hard grounds for it for a badly picked preview, so it will become a spoiler finally. Do you feel the difference and purpose of a really good preview?

you then are saying that if DPC had used one of those renders as a preview it would have clearly revealed the whole scene? ruining the surprise

I don't agree at all, and I don't explain instead how disclosing later, but still before the release of the chapter, the menu image where MC is locked in the garage didn't spoil anything

Sage from that scene was on DPС's profile in his discord server for a while, but no one could guess where she was.
The main flaw in your reasoning is that you're talking about it post facto, when the game is already out.
In hindsight, I for one agree with DPС's decision to hide the Sage preview from the player for most of the development. We ended up with a really huge surprise in the form of Sage being presented to the player in a new form.
Also, there's no guarantee that DPС has already created the scene in Bella's house. Maybe the first scene of ep 11 is the resolution of Riona's situation and his intention to ignore the previews makes sense.
But considering he spent a month making animations for the sex scenes, it's likely the renders are related to that. Could be a scene with Zoey or some kind of threesome, we can't get into DPC's head.

I don't understand the point of what you are saying....

only in retrospect can one say whether a preview would have been so much revelatory or not. before any preview might be or might not be so depending on the opinions, theories everyone makes about it.

I wrote dialogue until Wednesday, after which I started working on static renders to get a short break from writing. I've been working on Sage, Quinn, Jill and some other spoilery scenes. I have a good flow going on with the art and will continue working on it next week.

I am planning what I can show as the first preview. I'm sure there will be something to show this month.

The animation queue is still looking solid. PCs have a good render speed and plenty left to render.

Q&A
The second part of the Q&A will be released sometime next week.
