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

[Razrback16]

we've never seen Chad getting intimate with Sage (enough to make him look gay), I don't think we'll see other male characters getting intimate with any LI, if we're not with M+J we don't even see them getting intimate in their first week in BR (except for the flashback), I don't think we'll ever see intimate memories of Bella and her husband either

and I find that absolutely bad, it would give a lot of realism to the story and also a greater sense to the choice between a girl and another one

maybe, but low possibility in the finale we could see what the other LIs do

And just for clarification I was just thinking situations where maybe if you waited too long, kept a girl on the backburner too long or something, just like IRL you might then see other dudes hitting on her and maybe her out in public with the dude sometime, which wouldn't even mean it was over, it would just potentially light a fire under you to go let that girl know you wanted her and to kick the other guy to the curb.

Just something I've pondered here and there with these VN games since most of them have every hot girl in the game seemingly lusting after the MC or nobody else from the point of the game firing up.
edit - sp fix

but i agree with you. even for me it would improve the game (in general all the games).

but I don't think it's going to happen in this game.

Chad is either gay or has a serious vision problem.
Tybalt I think uses a knife and fork even in bed (and with the watermelon it seems believable to me)

and they are two characters that could have, if handled differently, some serious possibilities to be antagonists for Sage or Jill towards MC

but that's what the patreons want, lots of guilt but no competition

ya given the current situation at the end of ep 6 Caleb could have been a good antagonist with Sage since she's a DIK path LI, but I think so far his character is underdeveloped. Lucas is a perfect competitor for Josy's affections if she becomes single, and as you said, Tybalt could be great for Jill if he wasn't such a walking meme.

If she starts working at the strip club I'm flying first class to Sweden, or whatever country he lives in...and you might notice the change in renders like instead of Daz it's microsoft paint and etc

That was really badly timed, I'd just taken a gulp from my cup of coffee as I read that, let me just say my nostrils don't like you very much...

if it was a realistic story Maya would already have a part time job, she would have worked there all this summer... but she was told that the HOTs were giving money to members... that that good girl Quinn would have given them to her even if she had cheated cleverly in the tests

I'm happy to accept on faith that Maya was sheltered and never considered she'd have to earn the money or source it from anywhere because her dad would help her, until he started blackmailing her due to the Josy situation, and being naive she panicked rather than sat down and considered her options.

But now with the MC in her corner, he can use his awesome pep-talk skills to get her all enthusiastic about earning some money (just like he pep-talked the DIKs when they were all sad about the mansion being trashed). So she and Maya can flip burgers in the evenings and their combined cash can save the day.

I wonder if the anti-NTR crowd has come to terms with the possible fact that if they ever get married (or are already married) their wife has probably fucked someone before them.

Having done two recent playthroughs I came to the conclusion that I like Caleb as a character, like he looks like a meat head or whatever but he's pretty cool. When he comes out to fight, he's coming to defend his 'new friends' and his interactions in Rooster are cool like telling Dawe he'll help him with his diet since cutting season is over and it's time to bulk

everything that is functional for the drama must be accepted, these are the rules of the game.

but we can't talk about realism as a rule... I'd say we've long passed the stage of realism.

I'm sure Maya won't flip a hamburger to pay for her studies, I'd bet money on it.

Yep, Caleb seems intelligent (compared to like every other Jock except perhaps Chad), he's a fucking mountain, and hes loyal to his frat. I wonder if he's aware of their drug use and if he condones it.

I'd like there to be a bit more personal war between the mc and the Jocks, like how they hated him personally for stealing Chad's girl and insulting Dawe's dildo collection.

It was pretty funny that if you suggest the dildos came outta Dawe's ass, when he jumps the mc outside the Jock's locker room, he's like:

Dawe: "And I remember your dildo joke."​

Dawe: "It's not true!"​

Yeah, methinks thou dost protest too much, Dawe!

Hopefully they just sort the fucking dad out and everyone hugs and the MC gets more blow jobs (after the dad goes home of course... )

You can't work that fast with Google Translate. I can't keep up with the thread sometimes.

I want Josy / Maya and MC to go to work and earn the money for Maya's classes as a three-way partnership. That would strengthen the bond between everyone because they would be there for one another.

Maybe MC is doing a self improvement class for women. He has new kickboxing gloves.

Have you seen this thread when a new release drops? like 50-100 pages come and go right and you'll come to the thread thinking you have something nice to contribute only to be told that your theory was already discussed 40 pages ago.

an emancipated woman who solves her own problems in a porn game (in which she is not the protagonist)?

I don't think so

Chad is either gay or has a serious vision problem.

Wait, isn't Chad hooking up with Melanie???

 

[felicemastronzo]

Wait, isn't Chad hooking up with Melanie???

then the vision problems would be obvious.

we don't know, there are several theories

 

[Ilhares]

Doesn't really look like it. She's out on the treadmill exercising when he's on the phone with his mystery lover. She may know something about what he's up to, but there's been nothing concrete.

Homeboy is homosexual. He, like some readers on the forum, just have to come to grips and accept it.

That could also be.

DPC built so many variables into the game that it's really hard to predict how all of the stories will play out.

But I think that's part of what fascinates us about the game.

 

[Casmyr]

I genuinely think he is a homosexual, which is okay right because it's 2021, and that Melanie knows his secret and is supportive of Chad and Troy because why else would he do this?
Mentally I used to wonder why DPC put so much eye liner but then I came to the conclusion that it made the color of the eyes pop like Sage's and Jill's

 

[Deleted member 3366607]

...and that Melanie knows his secret and is supportive of Chad and Troy because why else would he do this?

Okay this would make sense.

Edit: HOLY I JUST REMEMBERED TROY AND NOW IT REALLY MAKES SENSE.

I've been very focused this week, working on the episode in chronological order. I played the episode, filling in blanks and improving the scenes as I went. This means I've been working on static renders, animations, phone content, dialogue, and music/sound effects.

I spent an afternoon taking an online course to get some fresh insight and ideas in cinematography as well. As a direct result of this, I added close to 100 static renders to improve episode 7.

The episode's layout is starting to come fully together, and I more or less know which scenes remain to write and pose.

I don't have many animations left to pose in total; I might add a few here and there as I develop the rest of the episode, but we're definitely close to the end in this area.

The most significant tasks left in the development are free roam events, static renders, and phone content.

2457 static renders and 212 animations have been produced. I have animations rendering right now and bring the total animation count to 222 animations when they are entirely produced. I don't have an estimation on how many static renders are left to pose, but I know it's plenty.

I didn't expect the animated content to be this much, and I went with the flow as I posed the animations, and I loved every second of it. It's definitely a next level episode in this regard, as I've focused on NSFW animations and made plenty of SFW animations to enhance the scenes.

Next week, I will continue to work in chronological order on the episode, so there will be progress in all areas in the next week's status update as well.

For the total progress so far, I estimate that I'm approximately 60-75% complete with the episode.

Poll News
In poll news, option number 3 won the cosmetic poll for Maya, with more than 50% of the total number of votes.

It will be featured in episode 7.

Cathy looks like a villain in an anime "omae wo shindeiru" in that render like she's showing her final form
Thanks as always N7

Well, I was hoping for Maya #6, but at least I got the outfit that I wanted for her. Cathy looks damn good, maybe the best I've ever seen her look. Whew, because I was starting to worry again when I saw Bighead McManlyface Sarah in the last render.

Always improving. Kudos.
