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

[Poisonblack]

The $40 tier is a bit worrying. People always say DPC isn't trying to squeeze dollars out of this game, but some things point to the opposite. 1) When he quit his job and did this full time, he said releases would be more frequent. That hasn't been the case. 2) When he got the new tech, he said it would allow him to release episodes more frequently. That's not the case. 3) He now has a $40 tier for promotional materials, which is not only bad marketing, it's also a bit of a cash grab.

I really, really enjoy this game, but the lack of more frequent releases and a growing influence on monetizing the game is worrying. A $40 tier member is paying $200 per episode. It's your money, so do what you want, but he's eventually going to tap out on support if he's only releasing episodes every 5 months for the next 4-5 years.

Right on point.

One thing you will learn on these forums is that Josy fans are almost as bad as Jill fans. Those 2 definitely have the most annoying fanbases.

Forget the fanbases. I can tolerate them. This thread is plagued with unfunny Jill futa/incest jokes, dumb theorys that completely contradict the game's story, cringy jokes about an irrelevant minor side girl who likely won't play any role in the story at all, and don't even get me started on the way some people pass off their dumb theory's as fact when discussing future events. I'm surprised the mods haven't nuked this thread.

Don't get me wrong I like to joke and shit post and what not but my goodness it's easy see to why this thread has so many pages.

Theorycrafting is fine, it generally gives people stuff to do while waiting for new updates but you have some people who come in here and do nothing but post x girl is best, over and over and over and over again and that's the reason the futa Jill stuff started, regular folks had to combat the Jill fanbase and that was the only thing that seemed to work.

Have you maggots ever lost the shot battle against Derek?

I never saw this scene. Poor Derek...between this and wendy he must have nightmares.

 

[Moryaka26]

Where is the last preview ?

I took the post down because I wasn't sure about the spoiler tag lol but I found it hilarious and wanted to share. I've been doing a new run but like failing tests and etc to see the outcome and losing fights
E. lape23 If you mean the 40 dollar preview nobody has been kind of enough to share
I'll figure out how the spoiler tags work later re-uploading, if I did anything wrong I'm sure I'll hear from a mod or etc

As for the $40 preview, I'm certainly not interested in paying for it. I do think it's a mistake to put the basic updates behind a paywall, but it's his call. He certainly doesn't need the publicity, and at least that wall is about as short as possible. If DPC wants to sequester a small number of preview images for a higher price point, more power to him; I'll eventually see them when they actually matter. It would be nice to see it sooner and speculate like mad, but the odds are good that DPC chooses images that will be misleading out of context.

let's face it though, previews are fun to pass the time, to work out theories, but they are almost always completely useless in anticipating anything really significant.

This is true. I remember the theories behind that preview of Sage and Bella talking in episode 6 and everyone got wild with speculation about them having a talk about the MC when all it was, was Sage preparing for her paper and Bella doing her job as a research person.

Which one of you guys snitched on me for taking Sage on the couch at the DIK party?

Quinn is clearly pissed at Maya's list being confirmed as completed by Arieth, and Riona even makes that snide "Checkmate" comment which certainly seems to confirm that Maya got one over on Quinn.

Quinn seemed fully prepared to deny both Maya and Josy entry into the HOTs but then gets blindsided by Arieth and it ruined her fun.

Also, I'd say that all the sexual tasks on Maya's list were the extreme tests because Quinn probably got the sense that she was inexperienced with that stuff and that's why she put them on the list because she felt sure Maya wouldn't be able to do them.

it's extreme always and only because Maya has to do it.

Previously Quinn takes advantage of her and sends her to the grinding with MC, but if she had sent her to the real cum-petition would it have been better? if she had to take part in the shot contest instead of Sara and Melanie? even without counting Derek all tasks that are unattainable for her.

Maya only wants money from the HOTs, I'd say there's no basis for any particular loyalty between the parties. her plan is crazy, she's thought a lot about it and it's all based on a rumor (as Josy coldly reminds her). is there any reason why Quinn or any other HOTs would want Maya between them? (excluding of course their own enjoyment of Quinn)

you're no doubt right when you say that Quinn intentionally puts Maya in trouble with the list, but the list has all the things a HOT would do, but Maya isn't and doesn't want to be a HOT

how much more extreme is Derek and MC's list than hers? to pass it they have to commit real crimes... and without the prospect of making a $$$ out of it. even here in the list there are extreme things that any DIKs would do or try to do

the only real preview was the one on D&G, even 2...
the rest was mainly smoke and mirrors

for now, what's interesting is a new character (maybe) and the titty contest with Riona and Quinn (which at 99% will be something very "silly")

more likely to be pictures of when you put your hands on Troy...

I honestly can't wait until Troy is reintroduced into the story instead of that scene we had were the MC bumped into him at the cafeteria. Was it ever mentioned why he was thrown out of the tri-alphas? Jacob brings it up but doesn't say why he was thrown out in episode 1. Could Troy instead be a silent partner with Vinny? undermining Quinn? Idk all I know is that I probably shouldn't have mixed liquor with beer.
I just want to know where fappybeard was when the president of the tri-alphas whooped my ass

Preach the gospel! It's hilarious when people whine or quit the thread because someone insinuates that there LI has a penis.

 

[lolgotem]

Issue across the forum in general imo...

Weird levels of fanaticism for both the in-game characters and their creators.

Should see the DeLuca thread with the Luna fans.. "My Luna!"

its maximum cringe but a great example of what not to become.

The irony of someone called "mr. coomer" being the voice of reason here is staggering. Lmao.

Its not even a porngame players thing. Thats honestly just what fandom in fiction has become, alas. Tribalism is everywhere.
