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

[Naxer]

This is more or less my view. I've only been following the game since last March, but from what I've seen DPC has been pretty consistent in prioritizing quality over update speed. The waiting sucks, but thus far I can't say the product hasn't delivered; even Episode 5 (my least favorite by far) still had a solid amount of content and a few great scenes in it.

But just for fun, I went ahead and tracked the ratio of static and animation renders per day spent in development for each Episode (except #1, of course). There's not a whole lot of variation through Episode 6, but the numbers for Episode 7 (per the last update) are interesting:

Spoiler: More Different Charts!

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

The first projection takes the totals from DPC's last update and assumed the game launched two weeks later (February 26) to account for beta testing. As you can see, DPC's static render rate for Episode 7 is currently the highest it's ever been by a thin margin, and his animation render rate is through the roof.

The second projection assumes DPC works until ~March 26, then releases on April 9 (with 230 animations and 4150 static renders). That would bring his animation rate back down to earth, but overall DPC would still be way ahead of any previous pace. Obviously updates and guesswork are no substitute for actual data, but I think it's fair to say concerns that DPC isn't putting effort into BaDIK are overblown. His priorities might not match our own, but it seems to me he's working as hard as ever on the game.

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.

I really like you, Charts guy hahaha

But really, you do an amazing job with all that graphics and charts.

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 difference between Maya's list and what MC & Derek had to do to get in with DIK's is that DIK list is fixed. They had the same one every year and they actually accept that some tasks are impossible to complete. HOT's get different lists which apparently depend on Quinn's personal preference and inspiration.

You are correct in that Maya does not want to be a HOT and is only there for "free tuition"...

When can you ask Josy & Maya to lunch?

 

[Ben4Chan]

When can you ask Josy & Maya to lunch?

SPOILER ⊂(・﹏・⊂)
--------------------------
The part after you went to visit Sad Sage (Raining night) then also met poor Quinn who get beaten up. Then in the morning, Josy offer the coffee to Derek to let him fart and you move sit and have the hardest test till lunch time. You have a choice selection between having lunch with (Quinn and Sage) or (Maya and Josy).

 

[Krabgee]

Not gonna lie, I'd kinda like to see a jock who's not... well, a jock. I know they're supposed to be gargantous stereotypes but it'd be cool to see one who's a cool, intelligent guy and becomes friends with the MC.

i hope next season Dr. Pink Cake would add NTR to game. We make a lot of choice between the girls and there must be punishment Especially when Jill find out we make out with Sage. Jill would go with Caleb for revenge for example. I can't wait for next season. What a great mind and effort.

Lol I love how you went right for Jill. Caleb can have that raccoon.
For me it's KRJ or bust

4 words: never going to happen.

 

[HikenNoAcee]

Casmyr Let's cross finger and hope Dr. Pink Cake see that and put on the game. I think Chad or Caleb best persons for Revenge. he is our enemy and we already make Chad cuckold after make out with Sage. Dr. Pick Cake is believing Karma this is why he destroy mension. Wouldn't be good Chad destroy Jill p*ssy too ? she is most delicate one and Chad is masculine enough. Im sure after some rough make love scene most of player will have varied feelings and TURNED ON

Lol bro if you fall in love with Jill maybe devoloper put same NTR switch on/off. so you dont have problem about that. But why is it bad to have more opportunity for Enjoy

I don't like the real NTR and it doesn't really fit in with the spirit of the game.

But I wouldn't mind if in the history of the game the "abandoned" LIs had their own story. instead I think they will remain waiting for a prince charming that will never come.
maybe M+J could have more or less their own parallel storyline, but i have a lot of doubts

This game absolutely perfect for NTR. This is how college. I don't know how old are you but who study 4 year college Im sure heard about or see cheating stories and kind of things like revenge , friends of friend , after effect of alcohol. Lol when i was studying witness crazy things like romance too many secrets and "what happen vegas stay in vegas" things And i can understand the game is so intense and you may have strong bond with characters but devoloper could fix just with NTR switch on/off. You don't have to see at all.

 

[HikenNoAcee]

Switch or no switch, this game is not going to have NTR. Period.

is it your words or developer ?

I found out that here on F95 even watching porn is NTR because the porn star is cheating on us...

actually it takes more for the real NTR, there should be a Li to whom we are linked, to whom the MC is bound or at least strongly in love, who for some reason, from lust to blackmail ends up having sex with someone else with the MC being aware of it

here the highlight of NTR will be seeing Maya and Josy

 

[AchedCroissant]

Many ask for NTR to "enjoy more" more but when they make you NTR in real life it is no longer fun

Yhe I think it would make sense. I think there some hints that if you are not interested in Jill you can help Rusty right his wrongs with Jill and help them get together. Josy has Maya maybe Jill. Sage is more difficult we don't know who her partner can be if mc does not show interest in her. Maya without Josy is also a challenge, we don't know about any other female character with whom she is close and also lesbian or bi. Bella will stay the same and if her husband is fine he will come back and she will result her problems with her.

I think the clues about Rusty are very weak, we know they had a date and it went bad, this actually puts Rusty in last place as a possible boyfriend for Jill

but I don't blame DPC for this, there's really a lot of pressure from the players on this aspect, who absolutely don't want even vaguely NTRish situations (also for this reason maybe Maya and Josy don't have the affection of the general public)

I keep a little hope for the precedent of AL, where at the end an LI can be settled with another character (but there is absolutely nothing NTR)
