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

[felicemastronzo]

No, I have seen a lot of woman that use botox with various degrees of success and this isn't one to me, even if what you said is true this is the design that DPC gave her which I definitely like more than Bella from head to toes and that is enough for me.

it is not a matter of personal tastes, as a female type, Jill is very near to my ideal (brunette, long hair, body not too teen ..).

in other images she has a much more natural face, in the avatar she has a very tight face, with few creases of expression

So I had the mod installed for 0.5.2 and then I downloaded the original 0.5 version but in my save files, the mod menu at the bottom right was still there, so I installed the error fix. Why is this happening.

Mods messes up saves and persistent files so you have two options:
1) After the release wait for a new mod so you can use your saves
2)Delete your saves,mods,persistent files, download 0.5.0 and start all over again

wherever you decide good luck

Seeing that Bella preview screenshot made me wonder about her and Maya. Far be it for me to slut shame, but those are two characters I would have expected to dress the least provocatively.

It would have made more sense for a married, late 30's, sexually repressed librarian to dress ultra conservatively at the beginning of the story and then gradually dress more provocatively in each consecutive scene with MC since his magic dick "reawakens" her. I did see her in a pant suit in ep. 1 so I guess maybe she does have a slight progression??

As for Maya, in ep. 1, she says she doesn't want to attract any attention from guys. Uh, ok. Again, not to judge but you're wearing open midriff low cut tank tops with super short mini skirts, booty shorts and visible g-strings. Women don't wear g-strings for comfort, quoting an ex GF. I know lipstick lesbians are a thing, but if you don't want college dudes macking on you every 5 seconds, then check the attire. I think secretly, she does like the attention from guys. Daddy issues.

As strange as it may be for someone to bring up cultural sexism on a website that caters primarily to horny men, here goes.
*Sets out the soapbox*

Even insinuating that a woman, real or fake, should have to consider what a bunch of men will think about her clothes is both ridiculous, and a very sad reality. There are many reasons that a woman may want to wear revealing clothes that don't include a man's inability to control his reproductive organs. She works really hard on her figure and wants to show it off, she's more comfortable that way, or, I don't know, because she JUST WANTS TO. "She shouldn't wear that if she doesn't want men to look at her and desire her" is just one small step from "she shouldn't wear that if she doesn't want to be raped". Women shouldn't have to wake up in the morning and think to themselves, "Hmmm, I don't want to be molested today. Well, sweat pants and a hoodie it is then." And before you come back at me with, "That's just reality," or "That's not really what I meant," actually think about the insinuations being made.

1-That she needs to dress a certain way because of how a man will react, positively or negatively.
2-That a mans inability to control themselves is somehow HER fault.
3-That the way one dresses is automatically a fast and hard judgement on one's morality.

You may not have wanted to "slut shame", but you did. You may not have wanted to make a comment with extremely obvious sexist undertones, but you did. I'm not surprised, and I'm not angry, and I'm not even a woman. But I AM saying you should look at the way you think about women and their clothes, and see if there isn't something you can change. Look at beautiful women, enjoy beautiful women, even fap to beautiful women. Don't project your insecurities onto them.

That is why she is a video game character, she might not look natural to you here but it's one of her pictures that I like.

If someone used the mod to unlock the scenes and render galleries it messes wth the persistent file, but for those who unlocked them without the mod then the persistent file should be fine even if they used the mod to occasionally change some variables on another playthrough.

the other LIs are in the same video game, and they don't have Jill's problem, or at least it happens less often, even in the avatars on Discord I notice this.


probably it depends on the "technical" fact that Jill's character was added later and is the one that remained most similar to the original model, but this is my guess

 

[AchedCroissant]

did Mr. DPC himself forgot that Josy is a LI too?
i feel like she's treated worse than Maya smh

The Patreons hate Josy and Maya

 

[felicemastronzo]

The Patreons hate Josy and Maya

Maya had 2 avatars, Quinn 3, Envy 1


Josy's absence is noticeable

 

[Tserriednich'sNen]

The Patreons hate Josy and Maya

Hate's a strong word. They're just not as popular as the other main girls.

Yeah yeah yeah go talk to DPC on Discord so that he can fix these "problems" to make her better so that you can stop criticizing her once and for all, you know I truly wish that too for the good of the character. We will see if they will bring improvement in the future but I very much doubt it's going to go downhill.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

I'd be curious to know what the exact reason for that is. I've seen people in this thread genuinely hate on them for a number of reasons, but the general consensus here these days seems to be that it stems from how poorly that situation was handled in Ep 4 and that had it been done better then maybe they wouldn't be so unpopular.

So I wonder if it's the same thing with the Patrons or if they're more aligned with the more vicious opinions that are often seen in this thread.

 

[BabyYoda]

I know someone have asked that already but i'm too lazy to read all pages. Do we have a release date? Thanks.

No. It will be some time this month though, potentially next Friday at the earliest.

I suspect Maya might be one of his favourites characters but just hated by many people, and Josy hum a character that reminds DPC of one of his ex lol ? DPC doesn't like to make her their avatar for now and it's easily noticeable.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's the way their routes were handled as well as the forced entaglement in their relationship that put his Patrons off.

 

[Kuraii]

Can't wait to finally kill Maya next episode.

 

[felicemastronzo]

If I had to guess, I'd say it's the way their routes were handled as well as the forced entaglement in their relationship that put his Patrons off.

I also think it's a bit of the "Meghan" syndrome, that annoyance for an LI that is assigned to you and you can't get rid of it even in the face of predictable difficulties.

for this reason I think that now this feeling of annoyance should fade a lot, from the fifth chapter onwards those who do not want will probably only do the scavenger hunt

 

[Arigon]

Nah, what is killing her off are her fans, they always find something to cry about. If I remember correctly someone made a spreadsheet with the calculations M&J have more screetime than anyone, the entire season one was about them and yet they complain.
Wanna bet that there will be complaining after ep6 release about special render since it's quinn's turn?
I love the character but fans are a bit of snowflakes

As Quinn is not a love interest, but an antagonist, I doubt she gets a "turn". She might get some righteous justice for pimping and dealing drugs though and that would be great. If the MC gets a chance to intervene to save her some grief I guess that would be another opportunity for a freebie with her. I just don't see her getting true LI status. She isn't set up that way, and their are lots of side girls, so she could be the queen of sides I guess.

 

[Arigon]

Just wait until the dark turn the developer promised at the begining happens.
We will see a bunch of fragile egos crying, issuing death threats and rage quiting from this thread. I bet it will be similar to the shitstorm that happened in the Acting Lessons thread.

If DPC pulls AL bullshit with this story he will lose a lot of money and fans, and rightfully so. He will also show he has limited story telling depth and breadth. Which I believe is the case anyway. Time will tell if he is really that shortsighted.

2)Delete your saves,mods,persistent files, download 0.5.0 and start all over again

wherever you decide good luck

It's MUCH easier than that. Just unzip your new version. Then go into your old version, copy (ctrl C) your Save folder and paste it into your new folder.

Boom. Done.

I've been using Mods for my last several run throughs and have made a clean non-mod for the release and have had no problems.
