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

[hermit_tr]

Come on, get real... of course i mentioned that regardng DEVs who make a lot of money out of their games... an amount of money where they could buy every month one of those.

Yes, but the reality is, the majority of Devs are not as successful as Dr.Pink.
Even here, as far as I know the majority of Devs only get around 100-200 paid supporters on Patreon, that's around 200-400 Dollars.
Many games are abandoned because the devs receive little income.

We are running in circles here. I didnt talked about the majority, and i made it very clear that i said what i said regarding DEVs who are making a lot of money and still dont do much work... so why do you reffering to DEVs i didnt talk about? Kinda pointless.

 

[Hahn1900]

In my post here I made a summary of all info we got so far.

With that in mind I estimate we are at around 220-250 animations posed with around 100 left to pose.

Thanks, that helps.

Overall we can already say... he is doing animations faster than in the past. Not "a lot" faster, but faster.

And at the start of this DEV cycle i already assumed that he changed his working style and shedule.

The DEV Cycle for episode 9 and 10 were kinda messed up. He worked very much improvising and run in a point where everything was done but a lot of animations where left to do. I mean, basically it was a 2 months waiting game at the end of the DEV cycles just for the animations.

He obviously changed that. Getting a headstart with the animations and the first weeks he pretty much did nothing else as posing animations to fill up the queue.

It certainly looks like he will not run into a point again where everything else is done but the animations are still left.

He mentioned a Big scene where he has to do roughly 400-600 renders back in february and 2 DEV reports later the scene was already done. (while he has done some other things too at that time).. So yeah when he is done with writing a scene, creating the still renders for that scene goes really fast. Nothing to worry about if there are still around 3000 renders left or so. At the end he might hit the 6000 total renders for the new episode.

if MC is going to introduce his girlfriend to his father, which one from the Others path will go with him?

LILY, for sure!

Lemme explain it. Most ppl think they are just rollin'. Hell nah! It is definitely more than that. They're in an open relationship like Tommy and Heather. She does let Tremolo bang whoever he wants, and Tremolo let her continue to strip for living. At some point (Season 4) they'll become a real couple. It's already been hinted in EP10. I mean who did spend the night with Tremolo in his tent?

1. Sage
2. Jill
3. Maya & Josy

and...

4. LILY

So there's nothing wrong with Tremolo introduce LILY to Neil as his new "Zoey". Y'know... not a girlfriend yet, but more than a friend. Neil is a super cool dad. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't say any bad thing about LILY's profession.

100% agree
They are definitely more than just Rollin'. Lily has clear feelings (perhaps even love) for Tremolo. The tent & hold my boob so it's no romantic made it abundantly clear.

Not sure it she'd agree to go and meet the folks though. That might be admitting to the feelings. But hope I'm wrong. (I'm biased, Lily is my #1).

Not going into the "who will visit Neal thing" for the sidegirls now... none of the sidegirls will be visiting him soon. Iam not even sure if there is a possiblity for any other girl than Jill at this point.

But i would love a real couple path with Lilly... buuuuut i dont think it will really happen. DPC made it clear more than once that mostly only the maingirls will have that kind of long term relationship with the MC. He didnt rule out that some of the "sidegirls" will get that too, but certainly not all of them.

If i look up who are potential "girlfriends" of the sidegirls... the list becomes very short.

Riona? Iam almost sure... will depend on how her storyarch will unfold. But yeah there is love in the air.

Nicole/Envy? Yep for sure Girlfriend Material...

Aaaaaaaaand... lastly, yeah Lily maybe... but its a big maybe. There is a reason behind it why she doesnt want to have that kind of relationship. We dont know the reason, but it depends on that reason if there is a possible real relationship in the future or not.

And thats about it, every other sidegirl is not girlfriend material... only a fling or to add drama. That said, i count Zoey as a maingirl at this point.

Or the new Update might come out in Dec Again like this one on here from last year

My feelings go the other way. I feel like there has been an elevation of Quinn & Lily above SG status and screen time. Not MG obviously, but the paths have been prepared for the final steps. They're interaction is definitely more romantic than say Sarah or Cammie or even Rio. I think Rio is a chance, she thinks she loves Tremolo, but even playing Rio, it doesn't feel like Tremolo feels the same about her. Good friend, do anything to help her, but not wife material (just my gut feeling). Where with Quinn & Lily, I think there's mutual attraction/love and no aversion to taking the next step for either girl or Tremolo.

My guess would be those 2 would be top of the list to get endings. And the progression of pimp/drug dealer/stripper to girlfriend/wife/mother would also be a cool story to tell. But you know DPC, there'll be a spanner or two in the works.

The reason Lily doesn't want that type of relationship is because of her work. She needs the money to achieve her dreams. If she is in love with someone, then she she can't take her clothes off in front of other men. The guilt (or whatever) would stop her. Even if Tremolo says he's ok with it, Lily won't be able to show the goodies to others. Lily is freaking out right now, because she is falling in love with Tremolo and has no idea how that is going to work. (I do want to clarify, Lily is my #1, so I'm arguing from bias). There could be another reason, but not necessarily, this on it's own, is a valid enough reason.

I've turned down Zoey on every path (just not interested), so I may have missed something. But I haven't seen anything to indicate she's closer to MG status than Lily & Quinn.

Simply the fact that she is DPCs favorite. And well... getting a whole interlude episode for her is something too i guess.

6. Becky
Where? - The basement in the DIKs' mansion.
When? - During the Panty Party.
How? - Hardcore sex. This one will be Tremolo's first sex where he uses a condom. Remember the time when Derek told Tremolo her pussy smells and Lily told Tremolo he should wear a rubber if he wants to bang her. So there is certainly something wrong with Becky's vagina. I'm pretty sure Tremolo would never risk catching a disease.

Ew, fuck no.

 

[Hahn1900]

I expect Maya & Josy will go, but they won't reveal their status yet, maybe for some drama we will have to reveal only one of the girls to Neil.

But all that aside... there can only be one option who will visit Neil together with MC the firsttime... and that has to be Derek ... god i would love a scene where MC and Derek are goofing around and Neils just joins them

Damn....so many girls increased as potential LI in this game! How many endings do you predict this one will have? I'm guessing around 15/20+

 

[TonyMurray]

At first Patreon take their cut and it's a big cut, let me tell you. After that comes the taxes in the US and on top the taxes in your country.

Just to note on this bit: Patreon's cut will be (I think) 8-12% and then there will be a processing fee as well by the payment partner (potentially Payoneer, I'm not sure if there's others there too. Payoneer take 1.5% of every withdrawal, I think it is).

For taxes, you shouldn't be paying US tax unless you're a US citizen. You pay the income tax as set by the country you're a resident of. Patreon have paperwork to cover this, and they'll withhold 30% for US tax unless you complete the forms. Therefore, if you're in a different country, you fill out the forms, or you get rinsed. I think there are some countries that don't have a specific tax agreement with the US, where this might not be possible (I have a friend in Brazil who had to set up a US registered address for his business to get around this), otherwise, it's just a case of filling out forms to sort the process out.

Unless DPC gives multiple endings for each LI (i.e. bad/good, pregnant/not pregnant, married/not), I can't see there being that many, maybe 10 max. If we are only getting 1 ending per girl (Sage, Jill, Bella are definite. Either Josy/Maya or Josy, Maya or all 3 options. Then a few others. My guess Lily, Quinn, Zoey. But it could end up being Sally, Becky & KJR instead.

So you don't think anyone other than josy/maya could get a throuple ending??

I kind of see it as the BaDIK TV show. Josy, Maya, Sage, Jill, and Bella are listed as "starring" in the opening sequence; Lily, Nicole, and Riona are "also starring" as they have been promoted to series regulars; Camila, Sarah, Mel, teacher of the week, etc. are "special guest stars" for the episode they have a dedicated scene in. Quinn is probably the hardest to place, as she's always been sort of between main cast and series regular in this analogy. She's maybe that one name you get at the end with the character name as well - "And ..... as Quinn".

I can't see Sage, Jill or Bella being part of a throuple long term. I don't think their personalities would fit, none of them have shown any indication they would share. Sage will probably be open to having threesomes from time to time, she's awesome like that. But she would definitely want to be in charge.

That is why i love Sage, she likes being a cuckquean

Several times smaller Acting Lessons (DPC previous game) had 22 endings. BADIK should have at least 50, maybe even more. With all these LIs, permutations and options available.

that is what i was thinking too, Sage is kinda open to sharing MC so there could be a throuple path option there too...idk though will have to wait and see
