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

According to some

You must be registered to see the links

the upcoming RTX 5090 wil have 32GB of VRAM, that's quite the upgrade from the RTX 4090s that DPC currently uses that "only" have 24GB. Also, they will have around 30% more cuda cores.

DPC already complained in a report that he was running out of VRAM while rendering some complex scenes, let's hope that means he will upgrade his hardware next year when the 5090s come out.

They should give him a bit more power, he wil probably waste most of it like he wasted the 4090s power with the 60fps animations, but even if it only speeds things up just a bit its something.

Also, not like he has a budget issue at this point.

Sitting here all the time still gets boring, even when the game is fun. With such long development cycles, interesting topics for discussion quickly ends.
If waiting time will be 1.5 - 2 years, i doubt that i will stick here regular.

I know the pain, love this game to the death, but the waiting absolutely sucks.

there are still conversations about plot going on if you look past the waifu spammers (or have them on ignore like me)

That's getting harder and harder. Sure, I've the worst spammers here on ignore too. But the thread is bloated anyway and one really loose the motivation to look into the thread and clicking through ten pages. What this thread needs is a mod who threadbanned some of the circle jerkers. I mean, why don't use an off-topic thread for waifu wars and meme competitions? It's not that I'm against it or I hate the users who does this. It's just not a good place. This thread is unbearable. But obviously mods don't give a flying duck.

I doubt the pictures were intended as a warning. For a warning you wouldn't send pictures, you would just say "Hey, you need to be more careful where you make out with your BF, I saw you at place XYZ." And Chad thought it was some sort of blackmail attempt, because after getting them he attacked MC.
And yeah, who has interest in a frat war? That is indeed the big question.

right. it isnt the common way to warning. but its a game and i doubt if someone just say: "hey, i saw you, be more careful." will make him enough careful. so, pretty pointless thing to do it. like telling Maya to be more careful with Quinn. need somehing else.
what take you more serious? a picture or some words? i would say the picture has bigger effect.

as you said, Chad thought it was blackmail by mc. but we know, it wasnt from mc. so he is wrong. why should be the blackmail part true? we dont know anything (at least me) the photo sender asked something from Chad or not.

but yes, now you say it isnt look like a warning, the war has higher chance.

I myself have read about DPC so that there will be no IC. But what I have not read is that MC's mother is definitely and irrevocably no longer alive. But that doesn't really matter.

Let's get to the IC. Josy, Maya, Isabella and Quinn are definitely excluded as possible family members from the MC because canonical sexual acts take place. All other characters are possible because it depends on the players' playing style. If the player refrains from all sexual acts with Jill, Heather, Sage, Melanie, Sarah, etc., then there is the theoretical possibility that the MC could be related to one or more girls because then there is no IC.

Neil and Lynette provide the possibilities themselves. In the diary we read how Neil asked Luis if he still remembers the girl from a year ago. In connection with what Neil said, that you could leave without a condom with more than you came, this not only points to STD, but also to another child from Neil. It is also interesting that Lynette only returned to Neil after 3, 5 or 7 days. All it takes is a fast swim from another guy. What if the MC is not Neil's biological son and the MC's biological father has other children?

Only DPC knows whether this will happen or not. But it would theoretically be possible without it coming to IC.

if mc's mom truely loved her husband, than mc's dad is mc's dad. (and this should be the reason why drop out mc's mom the family money to be with a poor guy) rich girls mostly looking for more rich husband.

i cant imagine a situation where Neil knows he has an another child, but dont care with him/her. just not fit in his personality. maybe the mom said to Neil to stay away, but Neil isnt that type who stay away just because she said.

I'm kind of hoping there is no Sally in Ep 11. This thread will be epic.

I'm gonna need a lot of popcorn.

If there was no "side trash" that's exactly where this story would have ended up 4 years ago. The MGs are boring as pancakes without syrup.

the main trash

First of all sorry for my English. It’s not my mother language.

So I finished episode 10, Sage branch and my first run of the game and I found something that fucking bothers me. I’m NEUTRAL affinity and at the end of the Halloween party, during the sex scene, there is a posture that you only are able to unlock if you are DIK affinity. I found this fucking annoying and unfear for the players. You already had to choose during episode 8 with which girl pursue, closing others paths and scenes, and now you tell me that I can’t fully experience the branch I choose because of the affinity?

Maybe it’s me, because at the end it doesn’t affect the history, but if you made the player committed to a path don’t cut content from it because of the affinity. The dev should not limit the experience if you are NEUTRAL, CHICK or DIK once you chose a girlfriend. Because if Sage branch would be limited depending of your affinity, don’t put her as a choice in the first place. It’s a waste of time and resources.

I get what you mean I never got around to playing my Others branch save in S3 because I found out there is a Chik only choice for Nicole during Episode 10 and I didn't feel like restarting as I was burnt out from replaying all the branches lol.

Josy the greatest idea of all

It's sad that's all she remained, just an idea. Maybe one day she can be a real character with a real storyline.

And no, her InSeCuRiTiEs is not a real storyline, keep that shit on reddit.

Agree Josy's character is kind of bland and boring right now im hoping that changes tho as I do like her

Boring could also be read as lacking drama, which the other girls have buckets-full. I wouldn't mind seeing some of the Josy-Tommy issue being played up a little, but let's not go overboard like the others.

Josy does have a storyline and yes insecurities are a storyline but lets put that to the side. Would you say Sage has a story? If the answer is yes then that also means Josy has a story how you ask they share every single storyline Sage has Josy has and in fact Josy had it first the only one Josy doesn't share is president of the hots everything else is the same. Some will say most of Josy story takes place before the game, I don't care it still counts just the same

You are right if you compare Sage vs Josy in terms of story Sage doesn't have that much more of a story with what's happening. Basically just the Chad stuff and dealing with the hots. For me personally why I'm not a fan of Josy's story even tho I do like her alot just not as much as you. It's because to me it really doesn't feel like she has anything going on for herself until recently with the insecurities. To me it felt like she wasn't allowed to be her own character because almost everything she does for the most part is either with or to help Maya but nothing really for herself. Which is why I was hoping the bit of drama with her Dad would of lasted more than 5 minutes. While Sage feels like her own character and person to me. I can't wait until we can get them apart as I think a solo Josy will feel so much better than the throuple. I think the throuple is what makes her storyline suffer the most if im being honest.

Maya is to Josy as Chad is to Sage, personally I don't think Josy's selfless nature hurts her it shows what a amazing person she is it a big difference between Josy who thinks of others first and Maya who is more selfish

 

[Dessolos]

Yeah I agree with that as a character Josy has one of the best personalities and just an overall good person only Jill and Sage come close to her in that regard. Josy probably is the least selfish character in the game

If you just look at it as they both are cheating on their gay partner, I can see the similarities. But then Sage moves on from Chad into a real relationship with the MC while Josy is in a three way lesbian fantasy.

But beyond that Sage is so much more, she's the president of a sorority full of girls who whore themselves out with her own father a client and IMO the mastermind of it all, I believe Quinn is the current chef and that Burke has had a girl in the sorority that has been entertaining his rich friends for years.

Another similarity between them is the divorce of parents but let's be honest, we will never see Josy's birth mother and probably not even Monica where as Jade is a major character and one we can actually bang. Jade's divorce will be a major plot point and Sage is right in the middle.

Outside of Maya there isn't anything major for Josy to be involved in other than as a friend, which is kind of all she is for Maya too.

It don't if we do or don't see Josy's mom or Monica it still a storyline which we probably will see Monica. Josy is far more then just the girl there for Maya she clearly is more love with MC then she every was with Maya and as for involved there mc and being in the hots

But he can still reference it if he sees them at another time, and if he references it with Bianca in earshot and they confirm it because they don't realise Bianca can hear them then she's still likely to dump him, I do think Bianca's only likely to be available if MC helped Jill with the recital because that is what mainly gets Bianca interested in MC.

opportunities are always infinite, but probabilities are not.

Mc is not known for his observational spirit, and that he feels he has to warn Bianca seems quite difficult to me, since even in the case that he knows Bianca and the 2 traitors, but in the end he does not choose Jill, he recognizes them but decides to mind his own business.

And all this to still make a very secondary SG accessible and deeply connected to the story of an MG

not impossible but extremely unlikely
