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

[AchedCroissant]

Big season finale coming up boys.

What twists and turns can we expect? The unexpected? Is someone going to die? Is someone "dead" going to come back to life?

Remember only death can pay for life.

The only death on EP 8 has to be Jill's virginity, but we'll see how much more DPC will stretch this issue with her.

Interesting thread. Uhmmm, I think that Bella's sister is alive, in disguise. And... Here I get unpleasant, I wouldn't mind a route where MC plays the jerk and for revenge Bella gets fucked hard by Tybalt !!

The Only Thing I wish not to happen in Ep8 is...Torture

As bonus, I think Anthony might become a DIK later on, his character develop to be more mature, serious and even friendly to MC. It would add an interesting drama with the Jocks.

As remember that was how the very end of EP4, end Season 1, was:

So I have to kill Tybalt to impregnate Jill? Sounds too good to be true.

A house fire after all the work we put into fixing it and all the new furniture.

That would be brutal, I like it.

I repeat myself.
Just because you can't see it or understand it doesn't mean it isn't true.

Usually quotes like this follow theories about lizard people and end with "9/11 was an inside job", I'm glad it isn't the case here

If you love to be hurt, just play a game named Summer scent. My god the ending of that game was awfull for me, i got really mad and in a bad mood for days after this.!!!
The game has a point system and having a good ending without cheating is almost impossible, you need a perfect score to get a good ending.
When i play a game i try to be really invested in the character, so when things go really bad, it huts me deep. Especially when a suddent even turns really bad quickly and you can see that you can give the good answer, but it's grayed out, because you miss a point and you really don't know what you did wrong.
And in Beeing a dik, there is also such events that can have really bad consequences but who seams harmless at first glance.
For example taking a pic of your dick with Tybalt phone, seems a good prank but that explodes in your face when Tybalt makes his presentation and Jill notices that every girl in the campus do recognize your dick!!

What a great VN summer scent! From 5.5 onwards the Captain changed the necessary points to avoid the bad ending or the (in)famous scene 7... But it's true that it's a hard hit if you invest so much (even if they are characters in a game).

I want to know how Nick managed to clean his already neat and clean room after the trash
He lied about that and tells us they barely touched his room and he cleaned in hours, and also not to mention about it to any DIK.
We know his room wasn't touched a bit after the destruction.

I just found out that Tommy definitely knows that Josy and the MC have more in common than just a friendship. In the screenshot, zoom in on the dildo tip seen from your right. The reflection shows that Tommy had not yet gone through the door at the time of the kiss of Josy and the MC. His face is also facing Josy and the MC. And Lily could not hold her mouth.

Now that's a kiss!

So I have a question. When Dr-PinkCake says Season Finale, what does that mean for BaDIK? Is he going to take a break or is he going to start breaking the game up into seasons where 1-8 is Season 1 and Season 2 is Ep9+?

What's this? Actual numbers?! Happiness and jubilation!!!

DPC has completed at least 668 static renders and 32 animations since his last substantial report 3 weeks ago. His overall average now stands at 111 static renders and 12.8 animations per week. He also estimates that Episode 8 is currently 30% complete. Since we're in the 9th week of development, that means we've been advancing at about 3.3% per week, and would reach 100% completion on November 19. Here are the charts:

Spoiler: Charts Unlooked For

Interestingly, DPC's estimate of 30% completion seems to be much more conservative than you'd expect by looking at the render totals. From the renders, it looks like we're on pace to match Episode 7's totals in late September (for a likely early October release). That would be fairly consistent with the development time for the last two episodes.

But DPC's 30% estimate suggests Episode 8 is going to be massive - clocking in at somewhere around 5000 statics and 320 animations - and probably wouldn't be released until late November, a staggering 210+ days in development. Now that's ignoring the fact that DPC took the first week after Episode 7 launched off, so he's really only been working 8 weeks at most. But even if we factor that in, it still only shaves about 2 weeks off the estimate.

Obviously this is all very speculative, but it seems like DPC is either underestimating his progress, or Episode 8 is going to be a lot bigger than he's previously hinted. Let's hope we get more numbers soon so we can better guess which situation we're in. (In the meantime, I clearly need to update my spreadsheet to handle vacation weeks more smoothly...)

I don’t think 5000 static renders tracks. if we presume 30% is representative of static render progress then 3333 is more like it.

Anthony is interesting. I think if you set ’try to get Derek laid’ at the party and also set him up with Ashley he is going to cheat, again. Though that might not pay off for another episode or two. I can see a gateway to Anthony friendship if he stays with Ashley.

I think the people Riona thinks are following her are the police (in the big van). There is a chance MC could get arrested after assaulting a police officer, which might be unavoidable if you are ‘full dik’.

Vinny at the Halloween party is possible, but for what reason? Trying to sell drugs? I doubt the DIK house fire loosing The frat house would kind of ruin the being in a fraternity aspect of the story. Perhaps if it’s a minor fire? I presume the flowers in Jamie’s Garden need time to pay off.

Maya suicide attempt is interesting. I’d hope not but she is in a bleak place.

My theory is that the DIK mansion will be raided by the police during the Halloween party.

It’s also Possible we might start to see some ‘proper’ clashing over the MC. Jill and Bella are already set up for a big showdown (threesome) Maya and Josy could blow up. Quinn and Sage could be huge. Might also be time to reveal Mommy Jade and have her and Sage blow up. Could possibly get Multiple different combinations depending on path.

Season 1 (1-4)
Season 2 (5-8)
Season 3 (9-12) maybe

Season 1 (ep 1-4) already on Steam, season 2 gonna be ep 5-8.

Since there was a lot of action in the ending episode of season 1 I expect the same for season 2 finale.

The seasons are really just for Steam. The Steam version only updates at the end of each season. So after version 8, Steam will get chapters 5-8 (they only have 1-4 right now).

Each season sort of has an overarching plot. Season 1 was about MC joining the DIKs, and ended with the start of the maggots' evaluation. Season 2 was about rebuilding the DIK's mansion after it was trashed, and will probably end with the Halloween party in the fully restored mansion.

Ah gotcha. I didn't know it was already into Seasons. Cool, thanks for answering that everyone!

My god man did you look at every render with a magnifier on a 100 inch screen in 8k ???!!!!.

I like the "stretch this issue" about Jill's hymen!!!

Does anyone know how to change the name in the scene galleries? Is there a file or something to do so?
