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

[lemonfreak]

Is it me or she looks thicker? I mean, more than usual, her hips and her waist. Is it the clothes, is it me or has the model changed?

Looks about the same to me, flipping makes it easier to see

What should Sage wear in episode 6?

4 Looks like nightwear

I've gone back and forth on the Maya is a liar issue.

On the one hand - You've been forced into proximity due to the dorm issue and you've known her less then a week so I wouldn't expect her to be 100% open with MC/complete stranger.

On the other hand - I don't get why she would conceal the fact she is a lesbian as it's not that big of a deal in this day and age.

The reason I'm overall cold on Maya is that she seemed somewhat 'overcommitted' to MC given the length of time they've known each. Although again I'm conflicted as MC is the first guy she fell for (which is also further crazy) so perhaps she felt that the speed was right.


I guess what I'm saying is that I don't know where Maya is truly at and given AL, I'm obviously thinking Leah potential there.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

to be 99% honest (she asked this to MC, but if you ask it is logical it also applies to you)
to have a boyfriend
to not have a boyfriend
to have had a girlfriend, but that it was over

there are few times, before Josy arrived, when she talked to MC and didn't lie, or at least voluntarily omitted something

She never actually said she had a girlfriend, just that she'd only ever been with a girl. Also, her saying she didn't have a boyfriend was a truth.

She losses sympathy for me when she's like "Never lie to me." and if your like me when given the option I didn't lie to her. But she doesn't tell MC she has a girlfriend, but you already know she's into women, so you'd think that would be the bigger secret, not that she was dating someone?

I do think MC massively overreacted to the situation, the MC is actively trying to bang several other ladies, he has no right to get that upset about it.

But it's kinda a pointless discussion now because it happened the way it happened, and there's no beef now regardless of if you tried for something more or chose to be friends.

She has trust issues, and while it might seem one-sided, she needs to know she can trust the MC before she can be honest with him because she's clearly been hurt before when being honest with others about herself. We know about her Dad but it's also possible she was by others, maybe people she knew at school who weren't very accepting of her if things about her and Josy came out when they were still at school.

Trust and honesty do go both ways, but some people, especially those with emotional scars, need to feel that they can fully trust someone else before they can let them in and that's what happened with Maya.

the problem with the relationship between Maya and MC is that it is not balanced

for example it is she who asks MC to be sincere, practically immediately, while she continues to lie to him, then to reveal that she lied to him by telling him another half-truth

it's a relationship that seems to grow day by day, but in the end it doesn't go anywhere, as long as Josy comes back and it's all swept away.

the relationship between Maya and Josy is real, it was enough that they met again to start again.
that with MC is a pastime, an experiment

 

[felicemastronzo]

it doesn't seem to me to be two very different things ....

I already explained that if you before say you have a boyfriend, and later you reveal that it is not true, you want me to believe you are free

if you don't mean that she is lying, let's say she is deceiving him

The episode itself has gotten a title, it will be called:

Episode 6 - Damage control

I don't want to reveal too much about the episode, but it's going to be a long one and have more variation in scenes and settings than episode 5 did.

Good title and seems pretty self-explanatory; Quinn's trying to deal with the fallout from the Prep party (Mona leaving, probably Ashley too, Tommy being "done" with her, meeting with her supplier, etc), Rusty meeting with the councillors about the Cathy pic, and the DIKs dealing with the damage done to the mansion.

Also, this is exactly what I think we all wanted to hear, "it's going to be a long one and have more variation in scenes and settings than episode 5 did". Maybe we'll actually get the entire Scavenger Hunt week (Mon-Fri at least), which would be great.

What should Sage wear in episode 6?

Number 3 is definitely the best but I imagine that number 2 will probably win because people seem to like that all-black, dominatrix look DPC has been trying on all the girls.

For the better part of this week, I've been working on the scripts and writing dialogue. I spent a couple of days posing animations as well.

I've made good progress on the script, but I have a lot left to write and code.

My PCs have been rendering animations all week and will continue to do so during the next week.

So, the static render count is the same as last week, but the animation count is now 54 completed animations, plus 17 in the render queue.

I don't know how many animations this episode will have, yet. But it's going to surpass 100.

Having more variety than Episode 5 would not be hard, but I'm definitely intrigued. Is it October yet?

I think it's the top. The way it obscures her waist diminishes her usual hourglass figure. None of them are the best look for her, IMHO.

It may be the top, it may be the pose... But I don't think it's the waist or the waist/hip ratio alone. Ass and hips look bigger.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

I'd dispute your first point, but I've no idea why people would be sufficiently interested in twins of any description to warrant a tag - but thems the rules.

So the twins in Sunshine Love, or Life, or My Best Deal, or Radiant, or False Hero aren't interesting? And what about Haley's Story, Summer Scent, My Sister My Roommate and Connected where the MC and a female LI are twins?

for example it is she who asks MC to be sincere, practically immediately, while she continues to lie to him, then to reveal that she lied to him by telling him another half-truth

She's clearly been burned before when trusting others and it's why she asks for him to be so honest with her because she's essentially sizing up in order to decided if she can trust him. Perhaps she's someone who put a lot of faith in others and trust them quickly, but now she doesn't trust others so easily and before she can trust them enough to be herself and be honest with them about herself, she needs to believe that they are trustworthy and they won't hurt her.

that with MC is a pastime, an experiment

I doubt that very much.

For someone to go from only liking girls to liking a guy surely means there's something special about this connection they have. It could just be an emotional one she's confusing for a sexual one due to her emotional vulnerability, but she does seem to be very physically attracted to him, so I think it extends beyond just an emotional void that he filled and that she's confusing for real feelings. There's a real connection there and, on the M&J path, it just needs time to build further like in any relationship.

So the trouble begins

Trouble already started, now they're trying to mitigate it.

 

[Alfagrem]

She never actually said she had a girlfriend, just that she'd only ever been with a girl. Also, her saying she didn't have a boyfriend was a truth.

But she did caveat that with a "I only say that to stop boys falling in love with me".

Looking at that with my positive hat on - she was slowly opening up to me and perhaps at some point she would of got to the truth of the matter.

Problem is that when we all decide to put our cards on the table, I still (based on these past interactions) have some reservations that she is actually being truly honest rather then by admission.

Number 3 is definitely the best but I imagine that number 2 will probably win because people seem to like that all-black, dominatrix look DPC has been trying on all the girls.

Number 1 seems to have the early lead and I can see why as the colours mix well and I agree with you about number 2 getting some love from having that look.

I voted for 4 however as the style seems to reflect a "chilling around the house" look so I went with the classic 'throwing a white T-shirt' on look.

 

[AvatarStormBringer]

It's OK we're safe. Despite what Holy said the twins tag is for non-sexual content.

Phew, had a scare there. I just checked Sunshine Love and Radiant. Sunshine Love was not tagged twins while Radiant was tagged twins instead of triplets.

I don't want to reveal too much about the episode, but it's going to be a long one and have more variation in scenes and settings than episode 5 did.

Hello save game page 100!

Episode 6 - Damage control

So it is safe to say it will be about Rusty, the DIKs and fixing up the mansion, and maybe also fixing relationships (Chad and Sage, Josy and Maya) and businesses (Quinn)? Maybe if you bedded Mrs Burke and told the DIKS it will come to light and you will need to firefight? The title hints on exposes and damage control and the game has so many dark secrets!

Cosmetic poll, Sage

What should Sage wear in episode 6?

I prefer #1. #2 attracts too many mosquitoes and looks hot (temperature wise). Don't like the color matching for #3 and #4 seems too bright and easily dirtied when I mess with her.

I'm certainly interested in several of those, but not particularly because of twins.

But if it floats someone else's boat more power to 'em.

I do think that was a big problem with the way M&J portray still having feelings for the MC in the friendship route. When Maya in particular has a long history of deceiving the MC, she shouldn't be trying to avoid responsibility for the decision she just made about their relationship.

It's fine for the girls to still have feelings; this is a complex issue. But it would have been significantly better if the girls stood by the reasoning for their actions for a whole 24 hours.

Sadly, it all comes back to the scene in the library just not getting the job done adequately.

well...As a gentleman, she shouldn't wear anything at all if you ask me

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Having more variety than Episode 5 would not be hard, but I'm definitely intrigued. Is it October yet?

Well, let's take a speculative look at the numbers.

In about 3 weeks, they did 1139 render and 49 animations. That's half the render count of ep 5 and 1/3 the animation count.
This week they added 17 animations to the total and said that ep 6 will likely have over 100.
If they were able, in the next 3 weeks, to replicate these kinds of numbers, we could see it near the total render count of ep 5 and have nearly, if not not more than, 100 animations by late August.
If that ends up being the total or near the total, then it's just the coding and testing left to do.

So, maybe, there's a slim chance we could see ep 6 towards the end of September.

Number 1 seems to have the early lead and I can see why as the colours mix well and I agree with you about number 2 getting some love from having that look.

I voted for 4 however as the style seems to reflect a "chilling around the house" look so I went with the classic 'throwing a white T-shirt' on look.

The problem with #1 is that we've seen her in green many times already.



The yellow top would at least give her more variety and it suits her well.

A lot of people is going to hate me for this comment: Thicker because of 1st trimester. Especially if Episode 6 have time skip because I doubt they can fix DIK Mansion within 1 week and if you creampie her too much.
