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

[Lostanddamned]

it will be very difficult to explain Bella and James' story without a pinch of NTRish.

but I don't think DPC has that kind of courage

The only way I see it as revealing that James never nailed her (for unknown reasons) but it will be the most illogical thing ever made up and will be the most difficult thing to explain as to why.

The updates take longer because he keeps making them bigger. He upgraded his hardware to include something like 6 or more of those fancy new RTX 3080s which has increased rendering speeds, but this update is going to have around 240 animations and probably around 5000+ renders. Each update has gotten bigger and so the development time has also increased:

	Release Date	Renders	Animations
Episode 1	7th February 2019	1301	51
Episode 2	4th May 2019	1709	77
Episode 3	16th August 2019	2289	99
Episode 4	10th January 2020	2532	134
Episode 5	29th May 2020	2456	157
Episode 6	13th Nov 2020	3336	162
Episode 7	?	≈ 5000	≈ 240

Episode 6 was ridiculously long, i remember sitting playing it, seeing that 4 hours have passed and thinking Jesus Christ i played this for 4 hours already and it's still not over.
I can't imagine how big episode 7 is gonna be in the end it looks to almost double it... This isn't an update i can play through in one sitting... Damn.

Hopefully more and more games are like this one day, but at the same time i think DrPinkCake needs to put a break on this, if he constantly increases the size with each episode whats the end goal? Episode 20? 20000 renders 1000 animations. I personally think he should stay in the 3000-4000 renders and 150-200 animations per update but that's just me...

you can talk about a relationship without showing its intimacy, starting for example with the crisis

but we're talking about a porn game, where MC's mother had to show us her tits to write in her diary...

Gotta have something for the incest fans, I guess. Although all of them will simultaneously jizz in their pants after they learn that Jill is MC's aunt after MC gives her the genetic jackhammer.

He already gave us a flashback of Maya and Josy. Wouldn't put it past him to have a flashback of Bella and James.

Also, if there's anything to the Bella/Jill thing we might see that too.

Yeah being married to him is enough implication that they were close and did sexual things. DPC doesn’t need to show intimacy in a flashback but rather get straight to the crisis.

It would all depend on what route/LI you have, would it not? I don't mind the school/class stuff so much, I actually find it relaxing. I would think most DIK stuff would be if you haven't fixed the mansion fully up by now or just more parties, etc. Since Hell Week is over now, I would think it will be more to do about route/LI development at this point.

Naturally, the HOTs would have their drama as would Josy/Maya, and I know from a personal standpoint I've only seen very very little of what this game holds, but I'm not really missing it from my personal view. This could very well be a heavy Josy/Maya episode, if not this one, I'm assuming it's coming down the pipe sooner or later.

 

[Razrback16]

Why would he be jealous? That wouldn't make any sense. Him and Jill didn't have anything serious going on. He'd probably just congratulate him and wish him well.

Well dude clearly has a thing for Jill, and I don't think any of us would really blame him - he blew it with her, but it might just be tough to see some girl you always liked end up with some new hotshot freshman who just came in and rescued your entire frat. That can easily lead to the literal definition of envy...and some people handle that differently than others. My hope is he'd be mature about it and just own his mistakes, but this is a DPC game...he might not.

Now the MC and Josy is another story. Rusty might be cool and all with the MC/Jill thing, but Tommy would go through the roof most likely with MC/Josy. Unless after the fight (which I never fought back on) there's an unsaid respect, which I am assuming there is

Ya I absolutely expect some friction with Tommy once my MC has Josy stay over some night, lol. I look forward to it too.

That's a good problem to have, but I do worry about DPC's constant need to make episodes longer, with more animations and renders, more mini-games, more D&G, more phone apps, etc. I really don't want to see episode breaks extend beyond 5 months. I think 4 months would be a better compromise for everyone (DPC's workload and our nerves).

Don't you think though DPC is setting up the MC somehow to be DIK President? Giving him the code to the vault and whatnot? I thought that almost immediately. He saves the frat, gets the mansion rebuilt.. I mean that has "Leader"/President written all over it.

I'm sure many of his fellow DIKs would agree on that choice, but maybe not Tommy.

 

[Razrback16]

I've always suspected, on admittedly zero evidence, that Tommy tried to fuck Josy in the past and she humiliated him which is the real reason he doesn't want her around. The only hint of a clue is the chat MC and Tommy have during the second night at the Pink Rose.

I've had similar wonderings... they're step-siblings as it is and she's gorgeous. Would be really difficult to have a girl that attractive move in with you and not get some feels, especially when considering how warm and bubbly Josy seems to be.

 

[felicemastronzo]

easier the second one, although I do not agree with the theory.

it seems that woman with woman does not count, which I understand even less than the terror of the NTR

 

[Dr. Psychedelic]

shazba whats your take on the MC & doors

Doors
deep breathes*
they are not a good match

Yea sounds good to me, 4 months is an ok release schedule to aim for.

I mean it was foreshadowed since MC joined the DIKs, by the end of the game MC is probably gonna be the new president, but who is gonna be the vice president because as much as I like Derek and his goofiness he doesn't seem like VP material.

I do - I half expected MC to be well on his way to VP status by now (which I guess he kinda is, unofficially, he's like an AVP at this point for those who work in the corporate world, lol). My expectation last episode was that Rusty was going to get booted, Tommy would get promoted and then there would be some kind of power struggle between Tommy & MC since Tommy would likely make all kinds of terrible decisions. But with Rusty hanging in there still I'm curious to see what happens - Tommy will still probably get himself in some shit eventually and MC will likely take his place and gradually move up to DIK President.

Or maybe DPC has some completely unexpected plans for all of it that we aren't even close to guessing.

Jacob for VP and MC for President

Well women don't have penises, they can only lick and rub a vagina. Men can penetrate, isn't that pretty clear?

Jacob for VP and MC for President

Makes sense to me I can see that happening. I wouldn't trust Tommy at all with running the ship, and with the MC most likely second-guessing his every decision. Recipe for disaster.

I mean my character is permanent CHICK. Probably would make a lot of rational, sensible decisions. But I doubt the game would be run like that.
