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

Will this be a percentage of how much of the dialogue we've seen in the game?
If it is, its not going to be easy to get 100%.

i hope so. in my favorite game there was one... i liked it very much.

Im legit so scared we don't get a scene with her now because Rio decided to get fucking kidnapped

she decided? how do you do that?

I think Leap of Fate had that, or was it only unique renders seen? It was bugging me how much I was still missing at the end of a run.

it has for all the renders, not only unique.
i dont know how it work. maybe it will be only from ep11, because the season1+2 is separated game. so you wont know here how many missing in total.

I think that was percentage of renders seen, yes.

i remember it was certain number, not percentage. in badik what is and will be bigger, the percentage doesnt show how many missing from 99% to 100%

The year is 2025, and Interlude is still a subject of heated debate. Of course, spending 3 months to introduce a new important character from the MCs past, who will affect the future history is a terrible disaster on the background of global 10-15 years of development. 1.5-2% of the general time development.

I'd still rather the game be finished a quarter of a year sooner.

Yep, it will be finished in the March 2036, not June 2036. Big difference, I agree.

Three months fewer chances of game being abandoned due to random events of life.

And tomorrow a brick can fall on his head when he goes to buy food and it's all over. Anything can happen in this world, but this is not a reason for the author to depart from his vision.

I don't really care anymore, people have to let it go, DPC will keep making the chapters bigger because he can and because 13,551 people are willing to pay him.

And when they spend three months on something they then make rather unessential, it does seem like they've undercut their own vision for odd reasons.

hey guys, this might be abandon.

As long as Zoey's the only one I'm ok with it, but I don't want another interlude where any more of her smurfy friends turn up.

Not so important? Sorry that DPC forgot to consult with you when writing the script, you're probably an experienced writer and know how to do it better.
You don't see that she is one of the central challenges of Season 3, with the purpose to test MCs new relationships - I'm absolutely sure that there is a possibility of breaking up and reuniting with Zoey in the next episodes.
This is a typical drama with a new female character in the middle of the game who is an ex/childhood friend. The problem is that it doesn't work well in AVNs because of: simps. They see the new LI as a threat to their relationship with their pixel waifu and antagonize her. Even if it's well written and the character is interesting, which DPC did well - Zoey is only alt-girl and tomboy in the game.

I'm not sure I will stay after Episode 12

I’m curious as to which path everyone is going to go for first? I’m thinking about Quinn’s path first but I’m not sure it’s going to go anywhere. Hmm. Btw, this thread has felt a lot more… sedate the last few days. Excitement waning? Adrenaline high run out? Did the mini thread purges knock the wind out of some you? What has happened?

First five will be Sage, Throuple, Lily, Bella and Zoey (Monk run)

The next interlude will be about Vinny and how he set up his own little drug business after being expelled from college.

I'm not sure I will stay after Episode 12

I'll see how chapter 11 plays out and if it does well I'll stay and if not I guess I'll leave too.

Right, but that's not my issue with the Interlude. Zoey can fill that role (as many of the characters could do) without the existence of an Interlude that supposedly exists to allow you to flesh her out in different ways to have notably different versions of her except it just chucks in the towel and goes "DIK or CHICK" which aren't exactly that different in any case.

If Zoey is going to become this more important character that offers a new path, I'd rather that development time have been spent on having interesting interactions with her as fuckface when so far she's basically superfluous in both episodes she's appeared in to a surprising degree given, again, she was meant to be important enough to have her own personal sub-episode.

How about that anal training is a thing

We will fuck Josy's ass in 5 days

 

[ChipLecsap]

We will fuck Josy's ass in 5 days

or not, never underestimate dpc

 

[19Castiel23]

or not, never underestimate dpc

It would be a big surprise for me if there is no Anal Sex scene with Josy and Maya in episode 12. But I think there is 90% anal sex scene.

Differences in dialogues and behavior. DIK Zoey beats the firefigher who harassed her and is neutral if you beat Oscar. Chick is softer, doesn't prefer to use force and will judge you for it. It is too early to talk about a global difference, because her arc is far from over.

This.
This was supposed to be in Interlude, DPC weirdly cut it, focused on California. Here I can agree.

Do you see where I'm coming from now though. It's not "I hate Zoey", it's that it's frustrating in how all that time was put on an Interlude that even in the code is so cut off and unrelated to the main game that it really struggles to justify itself, while episodes 9 and 10 have then not helped by failing to give her any real focus in the main game. The examples you mentions are so minor that they're the sort of things I'd expect to be set by the Episode 3 flashback having had a toggle choice between setting her as DIK or CHICK as fuckface remembers her, not a separate release that took months to put together.

So far there's a reason why on every playthrough I've just pushed her towards Jacob regardless of having an LI or not, because her interactions with fuckface so far are so shallow and background that it just puts her on the same level as a Heather or Mel as far as I can see.
