VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Lagunavii]

Plot vs. Filler? Outlines and storyboards still need to leave room to breath, right? Else it gets boring to write, and boring to play.

You obviously do need to leave places to grow, but you also need to prune back ideas otherwise it just becomes a convoluted mess.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

I never called you a simp, but I would assume you were called one cause someone joked about DPC and you came to his rescue... As always.

No, I just felt sorry for the guy because he was told the game was not being developed anymore. That's just cruel.

You gave the dude an answer, I wouldn't say it was the real one.

As far as we know, it is. I know that some of you expect the worst but most of us expect it by March.

Oh come on, this isn't your first day on the Internet, you know there are jokers, trolls and liars everywhere. We don't even know if he took the comment seriously...

No thats bollocks. Most of us are guessing Feb or Mar. The right answer is "we don't know" anything could happen that could push it back to Apr or beyond.

drama is important. if in the end of the game of thrones, Darth Vader come and kill everyone would be drama? yes. would be good? no. drama isnt enough, need to build it up. if you drop in Darth Vader or Sage's name or some shit with Maya and Jojo what i never will understand what was mc's problem then these things wont be dramatic.

but if you build the drama like Rio's kidnap...
nobody complained about it or called plot hole or something. it was enough well upbuilded.

and i will save her. even if i have beat up vinny.
or i will save her and beat up vinny.
or i will beat up vinny and save her.

hard to choose

as important is might be, how you execute it, is way more important. What has not been the strongest suit of DPC writing.
He certainly can shine during comedic scenes, or lewd scenes, or scenes that lead to lewd. like the whole scene with Rio and MC in Rio room, where MC is messing with her stuff, it is a well crafted and build up scene, the same way as it has a nice build up to an eventual Sally sex scenes

However, when it's come to drama, think about the whole Josy/maya thing. In the whole episode MC constantly bitching about how he was " betrayed ". .Literally the whole narrative tells you it is better for him to stay away from them.

Even before you get the choice to decide what as a player you want, HE ranting about, how dating with others was good for him, and need to focus on himself etc etc, and Derek was there for him and opened his eye etc, it's kind of a whole mess of a speech, and then " HEy I want more with both of you "

and then we get the tip of iceberg with the shity affinity system, because uh-huh , all the major decision you made up until this point that has nothing to do with the girls, will gonna determine whether you succed or not.

I would gladly like to talk about all of this with DPC in a serious conversation, but we know how that goes

 

[Bazsa4]

For a second, I thought you wrote. or i will beat her up and save Vinny

So why the hell are you giving me a hard time for saying "in a couple of months"?

Seriously, what's going on? Are you guys bored or something? How is me giving someone a straight answer this fucking controversial?

The example iamcomming makes thou works well enough, and I mean the cliffanger with Rio, to be honest considering how Game of Thrones ended also a Darth Vader cameo could have improved it.

I think DPC can write drama, with one exception, when said drama is directly related to the affinity system.

I chug it up to that specifically, having to rely on an affinity system makes the whole sitation "gamey" and it's hard (if not impossible) to create believable drama when the strings are out in the open.

That's just a cliffhanger at this point, it will be Drama if she actually killed off, than we can talk drama. as of it right now, outside of some fun trolling , none seriously believe she gonna be killed

If she gets killed it becomes a tragedy more than a drama, the current situation (cliffanger included) is the dramatic part of it.
Sorry, sorry just splitting hair.

tragedy to who ? if you not on others path , why would MC even care about it ?!

How can one not care for poor Rio? She ain't no drama queen, or anything... she's one of the coolest girls!!

DISCLAIMER: what written above does not in any way implies I prefer her over Bella

 

[Lagunavii]

No, but I also don't assume he knew they were messing with him.

No you just assumed he'd take it seriously, when a quick look at his patron page, would say that to not be true. It could also be a tongue in cheek reference to the fact the guy said DPK, who is technically not making games. But either way, you, as you always do came to defend DPC and answer. (and you know you do this because you mentioned it the other day)

So why the hell are you giving me a hard time for saying "in a couple of months"?

Roll the messages back, I'm not giving you a hard time at all. You said you gave the dude a real answer, I was just pointing out you gave him a guess answer.

Thats ultimately the crux off all this fucking release when? As I said, we're not all seeing God's here, we know nothing more than rest of the Internet. We basically know the same as the guy asking the question...

That is to say we don't effing know either.

I don't give too shits about Rio to be honest, that girls dismembered body could be delivered to the frat house and it wouldn't add or take anything from the story for me.

Now if it was Bella's life at stake. That's a different story...

If it was Bella I'd be at DPC's door already!

But c'mon Rio is a cute girl, it actually hit me harder than the whole Maya situation to be quite honest, and yes I mean also on playthroughs where I wasn't going for a DIK Others route.

The little interactions she has with the MC (or we see her having with Quinn & Co.) were enough to make me instinctively like her.

I wanna be clear, LIKE

Then of course there's Bella

 

[Penumbral Evanescence]

Semen Demon Lily! We meet yet again... Such devilishly charming looks. Hard to ignore such a sexily divine minx such as her

Imo its the usual cliffhanger resolved 100 renders later

Why would vinny ever kill rio lol? It woud put a huge mark on him with barely anything to gain from it

Exactly, and not only that but even the Developer himself not know, so much so that unlike some, he not even give an estimate like so many do with their assumption. what if he actually say tomorrow , that he add an another 60 fps SFW animation becasue he realized he need it.
so indeed the correct answer ,
WE DON'T KNOW

it is also true that it is tiresome to keep respond to these once a year barfing in the topic type of persons , " Hello, Update ? "


I can'T wait for the next era of : Full save anyone ? , Gallery unlock ? Wy my game crashes ? after 1 minute when the update is dropped

I honestly don't see it. Rio has never really clicked with me. She comes across as more naive and stupid than cute to me.

Some of her interactions I found annoying

Fuck me take your like for just posting that picture you crafty bastard!

Sure...
