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

[Znar26]

This is why I think I'm lucky because in my first play through I can only choose Sage route (ignore the others' route). One of the purest most beautiful moment ever . Jill still my final choice but that would be next year.

EP10 has some beautiful moments on the Sage path. The real deal.

I'm assuming DPС wants to make a separate path for Sarah, considering MC talks to her several times and says he likes her. DPС just needs to NOT create new branches with Sarah, Sally, Melanie and Camilla and stay where it is. That's for starters.
Overall, I really believe it's the animations that are the problem. If we had 30fps now, the game would have been out a long time ago and we wouldn't be waiting 2 months again for animations to be rendered.

I believe he did it on purpose so he would have time to polish, since the rendering speed is faster than his work speed. But in that case DPC should just stop making scenes for the sake of scenes, create silly variations like “ whether Josy's pussy is hairy or not”. You just imagine he rendered the Josy scene twice in ep10 and that affected the episode release rate too.

I doubt Sarah is getting a path, I would be extremely surprised if she did.

He said a few would and based on the development so far, Quinn & Lily would be almost definite as they basically have paths already. You'd have to think Zoey, unless she is purely bought back to create drama in other relationships (I haven't got that sense from her). Next possibles would Nicole/Rio as they are starting to develop feelings. Nora an outside chance because of the wanting a baby thing.

But I doubt (and my opinion only) there is anyone else even remotely a chance of getting a path. I'd love a Mel or Sarah or Cammie (and especially a Mona), but it's not going to happen.

I guess Lily's in league with Vinny. They set a trap for Quinn together.

A part of me would like to have paths for most of them, but that would be a HUGE undertaking to be honest, especially so late into the VN.

I do agree thou some are most likely to happen than others, for example already on my 2nd playthrough I started wondering how it wasn't already the case for Quinn.

Lily, Nicole and Zoey join the fray relatively later on, and Rio for a good chunk was on the same level of interaction of other restaurant/HOT girls, but Quinn is relatively integral to the story from the get go (albeit as sort of villain).

Have to admit, i massively not regret paying more attention to Rooster on my first playthrough, I just sorta skimmed through it, its an emotionally heavy game, Rooster would've perked me right up

This incidentally leads me to believe that some characters will somehow get pregnant by MC. Nora is completely optional, there are tons of ways to avoid a scene with her. She'll be fine I suppose, the pregnancy tag will appear in the game and you can have sex with her. But otherwise her drama will have little effect on players who go the way of the main girls.
It would be funny if Jade gets MC pregnant because of that scene in ep4, but then Sage would be MC's daughter( lol) and it would be incest.
So the next candidate is Cammy considering how many scenes with her.
If DPC was a psycho, I'd be all over him making pregnant Josy , but only in the way of cheating on your girlfriend.

Nora's pregnancy is completely optional if you don't bang her. But if you bang her, Tremolo creampies her regardless of our choice.

I think Nora's going to be the first "mother" in the game. She really wants to be a mother. Her biological clock is ticking, you know...

But like you said she'll be fine, after all it's her choice. I can't wait to see Tremolo's face when she tells him he's going to be a father.

[MontyP1]

You don't get them as a single choice (unlike main LIs), but all grouped up as others, but yes it's possible.

Quinn and Rio don't have paths as such. You need to turn down all the 5 Main Girls and then you have options to do stuff with them on what is currently called the others path. I can't remember affinity's exactly because I kept switching them to change content, but I think you need mostly DIK for most of the Quinn stuff, and probably for Rio too. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but if iirc it's more about the choices you make to get them.

Quinn is expected to develop into her own path, while most people think Rio is a good chance of her own path too.

Oh ok, that's a bummer I guess lol. I did end up with a bunch more content with them this time around but looks like I'm in for round 3 then and see what happens.

Most people have a lot of paths. I have 15 (and each of those has a DIK/CHICK/NEUTRAL subpath), so that's 45 for me and there is people with more than that.

 

[Roger-a-Dale]

Just finished my second play through with the intentions of it being a DIK play through.
My first play through I ended with neutral and had Josy/Maya, Bella, Jill and Sage to choose and start Chapter 3 with.

My thoughts/hopes for the second play with DIK was I would possible be able to get Quinn and Rio at least for choices. I apparently missed something somehow tho, at least with the DIK affinity as I still managed to end on neutral and the only option I had was Sage.

Is it even possible to get Quinn and/or Rio as a choice? I'm fairly sure it was but I eather miss understood or... quite obviously.... missed something somewhere if it is, especially on the affinity.

Really? I'm fairly sure that should be impossible. Are you using a mod? If not it should be impossible to get only Sage. The Others option should only be blocked if the Jill path is active and/or the Josy & Maya path is active. I suppose the idea is that with Sage and Isabella the moment of truth is after the choice and MC can still decide to back out and play the field, but with Jill or J&M he is in too deep and the only option is to love someone else more.

I find this ironic, because for me Bella and Sage feel like much more solid relationships. I could easily see the MC deciding that Jill's view of the world is too different from his and they are just not going to work out. The meeting with her friends that only happens if the path is locked in is exactly the sort of thing that lead him to that conclusion. I could even more easily see him deciding that Josy and Maya should just be with each other after all and he should stop interfering with their relationship.

I have an horrible memory so wouldn't be able to point out anything specific, but if it can help, this is are my end of chapter 10 stats on my Quinn playthrough.



I don;t even think you need that many DIK points to be honest.

Also everytime I look at end game stats I keep wondering... where did all the extra money from the mansion renovation go?!?!?!?

Hmm...

Are you saying that Lily set Quinn up with Vinny to buy the weed at a higher price?

The restaurant and the Pink rose probably you deviant.

Because people I trust (BCS & yourself) said it was really bad. I do not want to be disappointed, so I chose not to listen.
And I regret nothing.

Well good for you and you did not experience hell

You got it all wrong, the first person to get pregnant is Jade because MC has a magical sperm that can get even an infertile pregnant even if that sperm went backdoor

Just an inquiry, here:
It's been since December 2023 that we got an update release.
We didn't get one in 2024.
So, it went over a year since the last one.

Does anybody know how long it went between past updates?
Trying to see if this is normal and if we should be worried.

No need to worry as such, the update will be the biggest yet, with over 6000 stills and 390 animations. I do think pink would do well to set himself some limits so that he can at least release annually but he doesnt listen to anyone let alone me.

No need to worry. Yes it is longer release time (it is bigger), but DPC is being quite open with his progress and how it's going. Best guess is late February, early March for the release.

No, don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about.
I think Lily is connected to Vinny. Maybe she owes him a favor. Maybe he's blackmailing her. I don't know.
But Vinny probably talked Lily into making a good offer to Quinn so that when she agreed, he could blame her for not honoring their agreement.

Development time usually increases with 2-3 months with every episode. Episode 10 took almost 12 months, Episode 9 took 9.5 months, Episode 8 took 7 months. He only releases full Episodes so this is normal.
