i doubt it. Rooster is not connected to any specific path aka dik chick. yes, in ep4 there was 3 or 2 different rooster post based on who you chose to stay with, but it has nothing to do with the chick dik system. it's just a post, that MC will respond to it. simple is that, the response can be different based on weather you are part of the Josy and Maya relationship or not.

I don't understand doubts.
whether we are in a relationship with both girls or otherwise, the "roomie" would be Josy and not MC.

in no case would MC, both for Maya but also for himself, reveal their sentimental situation.

but beyond this, even if Mc were "more than a friend" it is not said that that evening he would be in the room with them

:LOL: :LOL:

actually I wanted to agree with you .. so it's my fault for not having explained.

I think it is a "neutral" preview, independent of the route followed, which may not even concern MC at all

Holy Bacchus, calm down man! Don't go attacking NLT just because it is an RPGM game. It is actually one of the best games on this site. Not to say BaDIk is a bad game, they are just different genres.
It's not that it's a RPGM, it's because it's giving some people a false impression of update speeds. People see the regular updates of ToN and think, "that's how all games should be", but they can't. 90%+ of games are made by solo devs, many of whom are working with hardware that can just barely handle the rendering strain, whereas I'd suspect that NLT is working with a team and high-spec hardware because they've been around for a while producing 3D adult comics and so have likely generated enough income over the years to be able to afford these things.

DPC, on the other hand, is like every other dev in that they work alone on their game but unlike most he has high-spec hardware and so can produce lots of high quality renders and animations, but it still takes time to do so. Their game is also entirely built on renders that they produce, whereas a RPGM game is mostly produced using pre-made or custom made environments at the beginning of the production cycle that are then repititiously used in every update and the actual number of new renders per update is minimal in comparison to a game like BaDIK.

Finally, as always86 stated, much of the time spent in an update for a game like ToN is running around these pre-built, top-down environments seeking items to unlock a couple of sex scenes and so there isn't as much difference and variety as you get in BaDIK.

I know people like ToN and that's fine, but it's never a fair or even apt statement to say that its regular update cycle is something all other games can do.

But if Rooster Clucks can be based on choices like the one at the end of ep 3, then the mechanic is already there to differentiate them based on a certain path as it comes down to the variables.

If players are in a relationship with M&J, then that variable is set to 'True' and will give them certain events for that specific path, just like staying with Bella has them sunbathing together which leads to the MC posting that Cluck. Therefore, if the M&J path has an event involving "movie night" in ep 6 that the MC is invited to (and could be cover for the possible threesome challenge), this Cluck could be posted by him because a) he was her "roomie" and this could be seen as a term of endearment, and b) it would be better for him to post it and not Josy in case Maya's Dad sees it.

So this, much like the Bella cluck, could be exclusive to the M&J path.

I believe before ... I hope before ..

if it is not a particularly long chapter it will take 5 months, so it would be April / May

instead if it will be very full-bodied again it could be at least June

but why should they use a coded message? for whose benefit?

March or April, depending on the size and scope of the episode. Once ep 6 is released they'll spend a couple of weeks working on the walkthrough and doing any necessary bug fixing which mean work would probably start on ep 7 in November.

Theirs, obviously. The smart thing to do would be to just not post the Cluck, but since they are doing it, having the MC be the one that does it shields Maya from potential recrimination from her Dad if Josy were to be the one to do it and he saw that as it's possible he's keeping tabs on her social media.

Go back to the evaluation scene, Rusty states the DIK's were formed 2 years ago. They seem to get pledges every new semester not school year.

rs "The DIK fraternity has been around for two years and during that time we've grown into a family."
rs "Hell Week has been our way to find new brothers."
But Envy says this is the third time she's been asked to sign a maggot's dick. Similarly, Rusty and Tommy not there are only 3 pledges this year before the CUM-petition.

I think they get pledges at the start of the school year, they just normally take two maggot pairs at once.

can't they talk to each other directly? they see each other every day in class, they live in the same place, it seems to me a completely superfluous choice, which involves only some risks and no advantages

Because the sensible choice doesn't create drama, entire seasons of the DCW Universe shows have been built on less :LOL:

I'm not saying that this Rooster post would be some sort of coded communication between them, but simply that the other characters in the game would see it as a Cluck about 2 friends watching a movie together, but we the players will know that there's another meaning behind it.

It doesn't seem like DPC ever takes a break or a vacation. I hope he does so as to avoid burn out, but he's a machine in cranking out so much good content in such a relatively short time, considering it's just one guy. As someone who is trying to learn the craft of renpy VNs, I'm in awe.

What I find so odd about Jill meeting Rusty is that when she finds out he doesn't know she's a Royce she still immediately points it out to him. It's not merely that she doesn't hide her family connection, benefiting from her lineage is her go-to move.

I'm very curious to see if this is just sloppy writing form DPC, or if something happened in the intervening two years to teach Jill the downside of being famous.
Nahh It's not that. Jill doesn't like show offs. That why she told Rusty she a Royce so she could pull down Rusty. Rusty keep saying he's a Burgmeister since day 1 in B&R.
