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

[Holy Bacchus]

Here's an interesting question: does anybody else think that DPC's ambition could be detrimental to the game?

What I mean by that is that, in this episode, we saw a lot of very big new features and fantasy scenes, like the free-roam map, hidden items, the DIK laptop, and the DnG game, and as a result it somewhat left this episode feeling a little hollow because there wasn't a great deal of progress with a lot of the established plotlines and even felt quite light on real-world content with the various female characters. Even the affinity/status system is very ambitious and is starting to throw up some issues and inconsistencies.

So it would seem that, perhaps, in focusing on these things, that DPC might have lost a bit of sight on what's really important which is the story and the girls, and I would hope that the focus returns there in the next episode rather than focus on introducing any more ambitious side elements.

See what it says at the bottom (lube) It is not difficult.

Note to self-
do not read shit on this forum while drinking hot coffee... Hot coffee does not shoot out of the nose painlessly!

 

[likeWhatever]

hmm i've been checking something.
That previous date with Jill.

You may actually be right. but then drPinkcake would be breaking his word about no incest here.
There is indeed a link between jill's sister and mc's mother. But this is just a little info about her sister.
Jill is 21 in Ch5. her sister died when she was 3.

So yeah the same as mc's mother 18 years ago, or is it just a coincident?

Don't go there man, i tried and was told to stfu by everyone here. For whatever reasons they're all against it and don't wanna hear it, even if there'll be facts to prove it they'll only believe it when it happens trust me.

The new hidden buttons, Jacob's painting, restoring the mansion. It looks nice but at this point it looks feature bloating.

I see where you're coming from but all that aside, DPC is the GOAT, 100% trust, best game ever, nuff said.

Of course, i'm just saying the possibility of it happening is greater than you think.

The "Hover Here' mini-games just don't work when playing on PC well. REALLY pisses me off trying to do them. Horrible design. Freakin' cussing at the game just because of this stupid mechanic. Then if you don't do it FAST enough it fails anyway. What kind of nonsense BS design is this? I can never do all of them, never. Always outside of the line once or twice no matter how slow I go. Luckily I can cheat to get the rewards with the mod...but this imo is just an absolutely ridiculous design. There have been times I was NOT outside of the line and it still failed like I was.

Nah, first, Jill was not 3 years old when it happened, possibly she was older, no one with 3 years goes with her sister to read or draw in the field and remembers her in such detail. Later on the date, she would have said wow it's your birthday but today is also the anniversary of my sister's death, what a coincidence !!! I mean it's not possible

Forgot about those paintings and the annoying "mansion repair management" system, but yes, it's all a bit much. I suspect it might have something to do with Steam and they're throwing in things to keep them entertained for longer and for the achievement hunters. The free-roam quick travel feature is good, but I feel they'd have been better off spending time adding this to earlier parts of the game rather than adding most of these other features.

Ages don't match at all. The photo of Jill and her sister doesn't look like Lynette... What more do you want us to say?

 

[Boy Blue]

MC have a new cellphone that must be a hint for new UI that DPC was talking about(?) maybe, his ambition is his biggest flaw

it's an interesting question, but let's think like this, if creators like DPC (famous and with good prestige) don't risk expanding their resources and thus show future developers that they can think high in their games, it would be boring, DPC left the comfort zone in a game with adult content, it's not just renderings of naked women and sex, it focuses on the plot, the story and these new features can serve as testicles for future games. Regarding content, I thought it had a lot, but it depends on your affinity DIK or CHIK, so I play in two saves, to extract the maximum content from both sides, the text was bad and my answer was confused, but your question it is indeed very interesting, let's see how it unfolds until the end of the game

Except that it isn't. There's a lot that not possible in this game, whether that's because certain paths lock you out of it for inexplicable reasons on that path or because the dev has said it won't happen, which is what they have said of both incest and there being any chance of a harem. Neither of those are happening, therefore not everything is possible.

Don't sweat it man, I get facepalmed death threats, troll threats, whatever you can imagine..
What follows is all in good clean fun, send facepalms to Care of Arigon, thank you-
