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

[shazba jnr]

Hi, Just wanted to ask before investing too much time, but is this game as "bad" as Acting Lessons? I need to know so I can prepare myself before attempting it.

It's quite light hearted although there's some serious shit thrown into the mix. The developer himself said it was intended to have a more light hearted tone.

The biggest issue with the game is how long it's gonna take to complete. Based on the more recent episode development times, it could take up to 6 more years to complete. Although if you follow the development time trend since it began, it could take a lot longer than that!

That said, when it comes to "investing time" this game is a major sink. There are multiple different paths to play and they are all a lot of fun. You'll get hours and hours and fucking hours of play time as it stands.

Big tip: Play it with the music. The music really is well placed.

I've downloaded the game but the application wont run.
Task manager tells me its running but I'm not seeing anything.
I've tried "Running as admin".

I've even deleted it and extracted it again What's wrong?

If you're running the Season 1 & 2 executable (roughly 20 GB download), it's a big game and takes quite a while to start on some slow machines. I don't know what you're running it on, but you might want to shut down other apps or something... Also, there are two executables, the 32-bit one and the 64-bit one. You could try them both (not at the same time), but just give it time to start (like minutes even).

This game has to load tons of files and data in the background and that takes a while on old/slow machines. On some computers you've to be patient for a minute and more. There's no loading screen so it looks like nothing happens, but you just have to wait until it's done.

But I only bought this laptop a year ago. Its new!
And the game process has been going for like 10 minutes.

Windows 11 laptop, 16 GB ram.
I suppose this thing isn't exactly meant for beefy games, but it should be able to handle a VN.

But after 10 minutes of waiting, I just got this traceback.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
Exception: Possible infinite loop.

Full traceback:

Anyone got any thoughts? Is my machine simply not able to run this game?

 

[lazymunchlax]

Nevermind.
After it crashed, I ran it again and now it worked immediately.


I love software. It works as intended.

That happens with software and I'll never understand why. It works thousands of times and suddenly it won't although nothing changed. After rebooting the computer everything just works fine again and you'll never know what caused the problem. It's like hiccups.

Envy says that the "cocks signed" task of Derek and the MC will take place 3 times this year.

No, she said "This year would be the third." So there was the last year and the year before, and not three times this year.

edit: Oh, and btw, that dude who was with Arieth is one of the rejects. You can see him in the scene where Lily comes to B&R.

You're forgetting that Jamie and Leon only became DIKs in the same year as Derek and the MC. So in a year it would be the second time.

The way you think of it, it would be the fourth time. Tommy, Rusty, Vinny and Nick did all the things the maggots have to do later. Then JB and Jacob, Jamie and Leon, Derek and the MC.

You're forgetting that Jamie and Leon only became DIKs in the same year as Derek and the MC. So in a year it would be the second time.

No, I didn't forgot that. It's just that the sentence "This year would be the third." means what it means. This year would be the third (year). Sure, it could be the fourth time in this three years, but it also means this year didn't happened it until then. So it can't be "unknown maggots" between Jamie and Leon, and Derek and MC. And also it can't be that rejected dude who cames to B&R after MC and Derek.

I know where you're going with this. But DIKs don't just recruit at the beginning of college, they recruit in between. Jamie and Leon are proof of that. But maybe you're right too, which still doesn't rule out a DIK Pledges backstabber considering what Rusty said in EP1.

Rusty: "Yeah, well. Just three pledges this year, though."
That means they have more pledges otherwise. So there are rejected DIK pledges that didn't make the Cum-Petetion.

We know from Jamie that they partied a lot with the DIKs beforehand. Did Jamie and Leon perhaps have competition who didn't make it? Oscar and the guy. If they partied with the DIKs before, like Jamie and Leon, they know their way around the DIK Mansion.

The rejected dude has nothing to do with other guys. You just have to look at the posture.

 

[Tremonia]

Rusty: "Yeah, well. Just three pledges this year, though."

Derek, MC, and the guy who failed the CUMpetition and creeped after Riona. Jamie and Leon was the year before but not at summer semester. That's how I understood them after the discussion in Ep10.

Earlier this week, I finally finished a bigger part of the episode and moved on to working on lewd scenes again.

While I loved working on static renders these last weeks, it feels great to move on to something new and work on other characters. Completing this big chunk of content for the episode feels like a leap forward.

I am now posing animations daily and will spend a few weeks doing it. If I need a break from it, I'll work on some story scenes to mix it up.

I'll have another cosmetic poll and a preview ready for you soon.

Have a nice weekend!

I know Sage has more content with the DIK path but do you guys think that it's the better path as well? Any of you prefer the Neutral or CHICK paths over DIK with her?

I understand it to be that the year before, JB and Jacob hosted the DIKs Thanksgiving. That's how it is written. When is Thanksgiving? Just before the new year. No, I think that means Jamie and Leon only became DIKs in the same year as Derek and the MC. That's why the four of them are hosting the DIKs Thanksgiving BBQ.

This cum petition is very strange and many people are falling for it. On what? The beginning of EP2 is actually an easily recognizable intro. Yes I know, so there is no intro folder in EP2 directory. But then how do you explain the following.

The picture is interesting. Why? It's in the mountains. In EP5, Jill said to the MC so this winter can be very different for him. Is the MC going on a winter vacation? If so with whom all? Is this only dependent on Jill Branch?

In EP5 at prep's party, the two guys were talking about it.

That pic, is that a teaser of a new 2 minute animation with trees in snow?
