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

[felicemastronzo]

There are quite a few things you get or miss out on depending on playing style:

DIK affinity or DIK score (in random order):

Might be more but I kinda lost interest in investigating, but the point being, it makes a significant difference.

Yes you are right. I was referring to the main characters and the important plot steps.

to see all the videos, all the scenes you need more steps even with the same affinity (for example the full or partial threesome with M + J)

and for now the only passage forced by affinity is that of Maya + Josy and perhaps Quinn

 

[felicemastronzo]

I think you wanted to say "while up until now as DIK the only LI you have problems with is Maya + Josy.

Knowing how much DPC likes to punish us for our choices, Im thinking that at the very least the "1st sex scene" with Jill will be a CHICK affinity exclusive AND you cant have had sex with anyone from B&R


I think you were unfair and made it purposefully seem like going with a Jill only path is all bad things... There are good things too, for example, they managed to not fail No Nut November even though the new update came out in November

nobody knows, but I doubt it

as a DIK you can declare yourself to Jill after the picnic, at which point if DPC stops MC from continuing with Jill it would be a stretch.

with LIs for now there is no real limitation for affinity, the fact that some of them have a preferred affinity (with Josy it is not so clear) does not seem to be so limiting

If someone is going to do a Jill-only route they will have to use a watermelon too

Can confirm. I'm doing a Jill-only route (heavens help me because it's brutal). Watermelon is key. Fortunately, I have a perfectly curved schlong, so the offset hole isn't a problem.

Tommy and Heather; never a more cunty couple. Feel kinda robbed that Tommy punches the mc, they have some fisticuffs and then all is forgiven. Totally wanted to end that dude after all the shit he pulled over the previous episodes (ok, that's a bit extreme, but after 4 episodes of being an asshole, it was resolved in a few minutes; needed more reckoning!). And Heather, she thinks she's so important, hooking up with the vice prez. She definitely needs to be taken down a notch. Nothing a good analizing wouldn't cure I believe.

I think there's a little something more to Heather than we know at this point. I'm interested to learn how the wheelchair situation started and ended. How did she get that way? Was it her "accident" that left her with a moody attitude and a fucked up nose? And how did she end up with Tommy of all people who spoke disparagingly of her at their first encounter. Things to ponder.

But yeah, I'm still going wreck that ass. She'll forget all about Tommy once she gets a taste of the MC firehose of justice.

Well, I've previously done these lists of the scenes, variations of scenes, and other moments you can get by being a certain Affinity and Status for the first season and after Ep 5, so here is the update list after Ep 6.

So, not much in this episode with regards to "other moments" that are specifically affected by Affinity and Status, but several scenes are this time around.

There's also some RP you can gain and not gain by being a certain Affinity and Status, as well as points gained and not gained with some relationship choices:

I wonder if the MC will play an integral part in this story

 

[scarp1]

Nobody can tell you that, DPC doesn't announce the release date until a few days before it drops. That being said, 4-6 months from the last release is a safe bet.

Can see it coming out quicker this time. Seems he has his hands on the new GPU's so this will cut the rendering time down by a lot.
All depends if that is the main thing which slows things down though.

Was cosmetic poll posted?

Assuming the render count remains steady you're right but it's entirely possible DPC might choose to focus on more complex scenes featuring more characters or a denser render count with more pictures per scene.

I'm assuming 6 months as I doubt it'll be much longer than that so I'm unlikely to be dissappointed.

whens episode 7 coming out?

DPC's words:

When it comes to future updates, the goal for me isn't to stress and release them faster, but to include the content I want and increase the quality of the art.

If an update is released faster than usual, it's a happy bonus. Regardless, development has gotten a huge boost, all thanks to you.

DPC seems to be an ambitious guy. He's always trying something new, because of this fact, i think he may try to go for bigger and better updates, instead of going for just faster ones.

If so, for me we will still continue the 4-5 month cycle that we're in now. But we will also get more and better content out of it. That's what i hope for, at least.

Yeah, I thought I remembered something like that and the N7 post quoted by shazba confirms that

Yes could be. If they have a set time plan maybe then what you say could be a good thing.

Knowing how much DPC likes to punish us for our choices, Im thinking that at the very least the "1st sex scene" with Jill will be a CHICK affinity exclusive AND you cant have had sex with anyone from B&R

Joking aside I can definitely see lewd scenes with her being exclusive to CHICK affinity.

I've got a Jill-only save for just such an emergency. I can't tell you how awful it is for me to turn away Sage. But, I'm doing it for the greater good. I do it so you fine people don't have to. I think I deserve an AVN medal for taking that bullet. A porn game Légion d'honneur or something. I'll let you all know if you get any bonus easter egg scenes with Jill by staying COMPLETELY true to her, while being a pure, 100%, massive CHICK.

It'll probably be like the counter opposite to needing DIK affinity to hook up with the HOT's and other side girls.

I suspect the MC's thoughts while staring at Jill's photo foreshadow a big choice coming up somewhat soon: commit to Jill (at least in words) or break things off before they go much farther. IMHO, if the MC gets past the whole Tybalt blackmail thingy, he's going to have to make some level of commitment to Jill to advance her romance. Part of that could easily come down to Jill either rejecting DIK MCs (a la M&J), or her asking for exclusivity that DIKs will auto-refuse.

Just my opinion, of course, but I don't Jill as someone who wants casual sex. And if it IS possible to cheat on her after giving her that commitment, well, I think Jill will be extremely hurt. The MC might be too, if Bella still has her axe...
