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

[Hazeti]

"Wrapped up" in terms of a huge chunk of their drama being done after the first 4 episodes. I'm sure there's still more to come but after so much happened in these episodes, 16 more episodes of it, even in smaller doses, just seems a bit much.

Season 1 was just the beginning. For both Maya and Josy the only thing that has somewhat wrapped up are their conflicting feelings for each other which they clarified towards the end of ep 4 BUT with the MC mixed up with the two of them things are just starting to heat up. Throw in Jill into that equation plus Sage who is slowly but surely opening up more and more plus our sexually frustrated and morally conflicted librarian , it's gonna be like opening pandora's box so nah the drama has just begun for all the girls , we only got a little snippet of it in ep 3 with M & J.

The best way of going about looking at this game is like a tv show and honestly it even reminds me of one called One Tree Hill. Drama,romance, personal conflicts that help characters grow as people ....i mean it has all the hallmarks of a good tv show script and if players treat it as such than the wait becomes much more tolerable and also builds up the anticipation and removes that feeling of being burnt out

Will the newest update come to steam?

No steam won't be getting the update but once all the episodes of season 2 are complete he is gonna release it as DLC so unfortunately steam players will have to wait for what is likely a year

Normally, I work 7 days a week, but next week I have to take two days off for a personal matter. Knowing this, I pushed myself extra this week, staying up later than usual to compensate. I'll make sure that my PCs will render when I'm gone.

This week I worked on static renders and free-roam events.

1835 static renders and 134 animations are produced.

I tried to roughly estimate what's left to do in the update, before proofreading and beta testing. Take these numbers with a grain of salt.

• Scenes left to write and produce art for: 7
• Static renders left to produce: ~400-700
• Animations left to produce: ~15
• Some phone features during free-roam
• Writing and adding bios to the code
• Writing Episode 5 ending report
• Implement Replay gallery and rewards (partially done)
• Some mini-game code
• Some free-roam code
• Music and sound effects have been added to ~75% of the episode.
• Playtest and Quality control

Thanks to all of you I reached 5000 patrons this week and to celebrate the final poll for Episode 5 is open for all patrons. The poll isn't over yet and it's a close fight for the third spot, cast your vote

I'm impressed with the 5000 patrons part that's impressive even during these times. Probably looking at Mid-Late May for any kind of release.

Nothing impressive, the game is great, the best daz game that i know despite episode 4 that i did not like that much.

I suppose looking at it like a TV show is the right way to go about it, I'm just still stuck on the quick progress of their story so far and that if it keeps up this pace, even if they start occupying a smaller role going forward, it's hard for me to see how it stretches for 16 more episodes.

 

[Hazeti]

Jesus, fuck that any suggestions on what I should do? dont fancy waiting that long

Well if you want other quality games to occupy your time between each release here are a few

Deluca Family

Summer's gone

Leap of Faith ( has a superb opening chapter )

City of Broken Dreamers

The Last Call

These are just some of the ones i keep an eye out for but you can ofc find many more but the ones i named here are extremely polished releases

I personally think it will be around 12 - 14 episodes but that's just conjecture on my part. If we look at the various plots that are likely to be explored such as

1. Who is spreading the rumours about the HOTs and their "free" tuition
2. Who is responsible for the blackmail attempts on Chad and Dawe
3. Who is pulling Quinn's strings from behind the shadows cause contrary to popular belief she is NOT the antagonist i am sure of that now
4. What are Jill's plans regarding that campaign she wishes to start
5. What does tybalt do to that poor melon
6. Who was responsible for leaking Cathy's pics on Rooster
7. How will Tommy react when he learns that you are doing his step sister
8. In ep 3 bella asks James ( her husband ) to forgive her while thinking to herself in the library , what did she really do
9. How will the MC , Josy and Maya go about solving the HOTs scavenger hunt
10. When will i get that threesome with camila and mona ( ehmm that's more for me )

You get the point.. there is a LOT of things going on here so i think around 4 - 5 seasons should be enough to give us closure and a complete and fulfilling story unless DPC decides to go the route of another dev called Daniels K and half asses the endings

 

[CHAD-MAN]

Hopefully eventually DPC can hire some people or outsource some of the work like coding or rendering because every week without a new episode its a sting in the heart, make it 3 episodes per year instead of two.

It will likely stretch out several college years (usually 3). I don't mind actually, I attend college in my country and the DIKs traditions, fathers and maggots are kind of like what happens in mine aswell, so seeing the MC father a maggot and being different from his own would be some cool role-playing mechanic. Also, new girls (and teachers ;D) coming next year, adding more romance college drama can be another cool concept. There's actually a lot DPC can explore over 16 episodes and not just about the current plot. Heck, BADIK can be the new American Pie if you look at what DPC inspirations are, maybe even a new MC with the old saves making the current MC be a side protagonist, either a CHICK or a DIK. Damn, now I wish I was in DPC team helping him developing this.

 

[Mormont]

Nothing impressive

5000 is nothing impressive? come on that's a lot of cash flow for the guy good game or not it's some achievement only a year old and it's not even halfway yet.

 

[hardtarget]

is there a problem with the compressed version ?
I'm new to the game so at the begging of the game i had a crash right at the English exam.
any idea ? or it's only in the compressed version and it's fine in the full size one ?
or i could wait for the latest version, i think there is new regarding new update available

1: Preps probably.
2: Preps probably as well.
3: Me clearly.
4: She is the UberSoftie so sweet caring things.
5: Stick his small dick in it. Clearly.
6: Jocks more than likely, or a rat among the DiKs.
7: Horribly. But thats why we have a baseball bat and we will smack him in the face with it.
8: Unknown.
9: Threesome clearly.
10: You didn't get it in the stall? Fail on you.

If you put it that way it's impressive but i think that considering the quality behind the project is not surprising, give people a good product and they will gladly pay

A lot of those plots can be easily solved. Personally I think DPC had planned something like AL but since BADIK is top game of these sort of games he changed his goal and its no longer set on one story with a beggining and an end, we're likely just starting the MC college drama, more will be further developed down the road, maybe expanding all of the MCs college years, maybe a new protagonist eventually. About DanielsK, sadly he has tremendiously great starts, huge potential, but his style of monthly releases hurts him a bit as he puts all of his work to lewd scenes rather than moving the plot further... until he has another great idea for a story and gets bored, tries to rush and end his current project. I actually think Lancaster was BADIK before BADIK was a thing, despite the obvious quality differences.

Currently my fav list goes to No More Secrets, Fetish Locator, (returned) Love and Submission, Areas of Gray, Tales of Un-ending Void... and a new one called Radiant, one which I have high hopes. None come close to my hype to BADIK tho, its just another level, I actually think its closer to games like Life is Strange than the typical porn VNs

I think I found the answers to most of your questions, a few pages back.

Whatuguys talking about? Anthony is a secret genius!

His tweets are on another level. Instead of saying he doesn't like something, he says "he liked it twice." Brilliant! Instead of saying he doesn't even need to train to beat Dawe in the muscle department, he simply says "No pain or gain." Bitchslap! And lets not forget:

Ye old intentional typo trick to dis someone without being obvious. Very crafty indeed Mr. Anthony!

Then there's this - he understands the significance of hair length when others couldn't.

You Mr.Stark should especially appreciate this. Anthony is the guy who figured out the entire Avengers:Endgame timeline just by observing the varying lengths of Black Widow's hair in the trailers! Legend!

Yes, ladies and gents, Anthony is a secret mastermind behind that facade

If the DPC does not drop to the same level as the ICSTOR(get tired of own game) then I would think as the DIK is complete as a whole then there are 10k+ patrons(My option ofc)

Btw.. Who has the most patrons?

1.ICSTOR almost 7k
2.DCP 5k
Others?

This is DPC we are talking about , nothing is straight forward in his games even if we think they are. Hell look at the whole Maya and Josy curve ball so despite many people thinking that they have already figured out who did this or that in the plot, i seriously doubt any of those theories and speculations will hold any sort of weight in the long run. The game even alludes that not everything is as it seems. There are very specific pieces of dialogue from both Derek and Sage that even hinted towards that








Say what you want about Derek but i think he is much smarter than he looks or acts

- When will we get this crabjob from Ariet? Buttsmarnn

Now THAT is most definitely one of the biggest plot questions in the game

 

[exlol]

Hopefully eventually DPC can hire some people or outsource some of the work like coding or rendering because every week without a new episode its a sting in the heart, make it 3 episodes per year instead of two.

DPC stated that he wants to work on his game alone. He has only help with beta testing and proofreading. So don't expect that he will hire a team for his game.

Btw.. Who has the most patrons?
1.ICSTOR almost 7k
2.DCP 5k
Others?

If you want to include a team Adeptus Steve have 8k patreons the biggest so far If not mistaken.
