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

[Sorrow85]

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.

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

Now i check Kompas Productions and has over 22k patreons(Summertime sagas)

So:
1. Kompas Productions(22k)
2. Adeptus Steve(8k)
3. ICSTOR(6.7)
4. DPC(5)

So 10k is not impossible to achieve for DPC.. I think.

And Sorry offtopic guys.

Since everyone is sharing conspiracy theories (Sorta) and saying people aren't even remotely close to wrap up, what do you think Bella's true alignment is? Like, you'd think following her and going after her makes her a chick path heroine, but the way she acts about pushing you to Jill even while fooling around with MC, I think shes gonna be a DIK path. Plus if you split the banner girls, the best way to get a 3/3 even split is if you make bella a dik path choice, since the others are more or less confirmed for their route, bella is kinda right smack in the middle, maybe favoring chick a little atm, but I think that can easily change especially how her character is evolving.

What about dark cookie? I thought they had a huge amount too

 

[Darkmetal]

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

DPC is actually 13th - but has gained a lot, he was 25th last time I checked the list around 6 months ago
ICSTOR is 8th - and dropping.

No.1 by a mile is Dark Cookie (Summertime Saga) with 22.3K subs but Adeptus (Wild Life) actually makes more money

Here's the current top 8 Adult content creators (includes some VR guys and a SIMs modder tho) for those that are interested.

Kompas Productions is owned by Dark Cookie.

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

Yeah, a lot of people are hoping for it to be around that much. It feels like the just right length for the story, especially given how packed each episode is.

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 )

A lot of those questions are tied up in the primary stories, because I'd say that the main things we're really waiting to discover is the following:

1. Jill's background
2. Bella's background
3. Sage's background
4. The full extent of Quinn's business
5. How Maya plans to be free of her Dad

Jill and Bella's backgrounds are likely tied together in some way, and given that so much was revealed about Maya and Josy in 4 episodes, they same could be done for Jill and Bella or maybe even in just 3 episodes since we know a little bit about them already.

Overall, I don't see much here that can't be done in as little 8 more episodes since each episode is capable of covering so much ground.

Well Bella is Chick but it's weird as some Dik choices with her have been okay but I wouldn't want to risk that any further I guess Neutral also works for her.

I've always been astounded at DarkCookie's support. Been a fan of Summertime Saga since around version 3 and it's what brought me to these forums, but his income is insane.

 

[SerHawkes]

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.

Hence why I am secretly involved in all of this. Oh the chaos that shall happen. Muahaha. :3

Right? thats what I mean, shes the only one with inconsistencies, and if we're talking about a balance in routes, she would seem to be a DIK. I can see you romantically going after her as a chick, but then as she gets more depraved and whatever is going on with her progresses, it winds up into a dik thing. The only thing that still keeps wracking my brains is the library scene and what its actually foreshadowing.

Or you know, she could just be the one raising all the death flags. or it could be a red herring. gah.

Is she a Chick with a DiK?

 

[Holy Bacchus]

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.

Really don't think this game will cover several years of college life. A few months at most and then maybe a fast forward in the last episode to either the end of the first year or graduation, but I don't think we're going to see every year of the MC's time at college.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Is she a Chick with a DiK?

Wouldn't mind it if she was.

 

[Mormont]

but then as she gets more depraved and whatever is going on with her progresses, it winds up into a dik thing.

I think it will be more of a need for the MC rather than being more depraved she hasn't had any male company we can assume since her husband left Burke came the closest but never got all the way thankfully.

Is she a Chick with a DiK?

I'd hope not I'd gladly see an AL twist if that was to happen

CHICKs with DIKs need love too.

CHICKs with DIKs need love too.

I'm sure they do just not from me

The answer is actually yes. Bella is a Chick, who is with a DiK, or soon to be a DiK, who happens to have a baseball bat.

 

[kcoope89]

Shame milfy city really could've taken off like this game

 

[Bolero]

I'm full dik and going for Jill, wish me luck guys

Good luck, you will need it , she loves chick choices, same as Bella

So:
1. Kompas Productions(22k)
2. Adeptus Steve(8k)

So 10k is not impossible to achieve for DPC.. I think.

And Sorry offtopic guys.

At some point, when you pass a thousand (maybe even a hundred?) patrons, I think people expect you give deadlines and stick to them. OR have consistency with updates. For example ICSTOR did eventually abandon the game, but he gave deadlines and tried to stick to them (with some success). He was also fairly consistent, even with delays. Nothing bad in sticking with quality at the expense of deadlines, but you're discounting patrons who care about that (and at a few thousand you've exhausted a lot of the potential patrons already).
