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

[UnoriginalUserName]

Random theory : so Sage being from a well to do family would have grown up around Tybalt , hates him and is the one with the Tyballs Rooster account roasting him every chance she gets

It's actually his mother, Jade. She hates that little douche.

Season 3: MC gets Karen and Sally at the same time.

 

[`Ray`]

It's just that Bella is very sentimental. For the first time I see a girl who would cry from cunnilingus. It's scary to think what will happen to her when the MC puts his cock in her.

I don't think she cried because of that...

I believe that I won't be able to properly explain what I want to but anyways...

She has mixed feelings about all these events. A boy who is 19yrs old, comes and suddenly wants to be in a relationship with her, She starts caring for him and is unsure what to do, which is absolutely normal.

She has a husband, who she spent a lot of time with, who she (used to? IDK) loves/loved. Suddenly she starts to develop feelings for a 19yr old, just within a month. It is, in fact too fast paced for her. She had feelings for James for many years and those feeling have started to change within a month.

She has a best friend, who she cares for and wants her to be Happy, Jill, but Bella is doing all this stuff with the guy who Jill loves. She is bound to feel sad about this but this point is secondary.

As I said in this Post earlier, her route is not at all easy. Look here, she is still hesitant

"I can't believe that I'm feeling this way." This line pretty much explains why she is crying. You should show the text to not cause misunderstanding of the scene.

Yup the way I understand it, she likes the MC too much and can’t fight her feelings toward him at the same time her guilt won’t go away. Even if she’s slowly starting to get over her husband, the fact that she’s betraying her bff Jill must also weigh heavily on her mind.

And ofc with her being a teacher and the MC being a new student, she knows this is inappropriate. But she still can’t help herself. She’s pretty messed up lol I hope the MC can try his talk no jutsu on her sometime.

 

[magaclaawe]

Badik could continue as we could we play as MC and Jill son. So dpc could finally add incest to the game.

 

[Zirael Q]

It's really funny how that 3/5 did really bother so many players, they are used to be the fucking lords and then Sage just destroy their pride.
I have to say that i was pissed too!! what 3/5 ???

Exactly, I pressed my buttons very hard on my keyboard... How come it's 3/5???

 

[Ostap Bender]

Side note: I'm really hoping we get to do Brandi soon. We've already done Envy, Lily, and Rose and I feel like I want to complete that Pink Rose collection already.

Agreed. This game lacks hot ebony girls.

Episode 8 Checklist
As promised, I have made a checklist of the work I have left to complete before the episode can be released. This list is as good as I can estimate it at the moment.

I have no estimation of the total time remaining.

Neither a release date nor release month has been confirmed.

There may be some tasks that I've forgotten, but I've tried my best to list everything without spoiling content.

Please note that the list doesn't account for the work that I have already carried out.

Some of the bullet points are partially complete, whereas others may have seen no progress so far.

All in all, take the list with a grain of salt.

Writing tasks that remain:

• 1 Free roam event
• 6 scenes of medium to long length
• Rooster content
• Phone chat content
• Code for 2 mini-games
• Code for previously on Being a DIK screens
• Code for episode end credits and screens
• Code for wrapping up the season (Big task, no further details at the moment)
• Code for Gallery to replay lewd scenes
• Code for Rewards and other collectibles
• Code for Pack Quest

Art tasks that remain:

• Animations for 3 lewd scenes remain. Estimated animation count 60-100.
• Possibly a few SFW (safe for work) animations.
• Render time for those animations on top of my current animation queue of ~10 animations.
• Static renders for 21 scenes and 1 free roam event. One scene can be equal to anything between 20-150 renders. My gut feeling tells me that ~1500-2000 renders remain, but I could be wrong as this is the hardest thing to estimate.
• Render time for those static renders.
• Art for the phone (Rooster, chat, etc.)
• Creation of GUI elements for the free roam event and one mini-game.

Audio tasks that remain:

• Implementing sound effects for approximately half of the episode
• Implementing music for approximately half of the episode, including time to find new music.

Other tasks that remain:

• Polishing the dialogue and code
• Playtesting
• Double-checking variables
• Quality control of renders/animations
• Fixing bugs that I find while testing

After I have completed all of the above, proofreading, beta testing, and bug fixing will begin.
Beta testing and proofreading will take ~2-3 weeks, depending on how well it goes.

As you can see from this, there are still ways to go before the release, but we are at the same time over the hump.

One thing I am completely sure of is that the wait will be worthwhile.

Have a nice weekend

Dr PinkCake

That would explain why there is no Rooster teasers during Episode 8 development

A lot of "to do" content... ~1500-2000 renders remain... it appears that the time estimates for launch may have to move forward. At least this report brought a lot of numbers to analyze.

She may also be coming to the conclusion that a husband that abandons you for years, means that the marriage vows are null and void. (When you are on her path, at the end of the episode, she removes her wedding ring). MC doesn't have a problem being with married women that are mistreated (Jade) abandoned (Bella) by their husbands.

still on track for an early October release it seems so by the 21st of October to build up the Halloween special games to play during this Halloween edition of quite a few you tubers!

 

[znar25]

"One thing I am completely sure of is that the wait will be worthwhile."


I am currently putting together paperwork to get DPC submitted for both the Nobel Peace Prize ... AND a knighthood.

Well deserved.

 

[SpearOfReigns]

Also "Code for wrapping up the season (Big task, no further details at the moment)". Do I smell multiple different endings?

Early October? I don't see how that's possible, given the workload remaining, plus the necessary two to three weeks of beta testing and bug fixing. Late October maybe.

 

[`Ray`]

Looks like a date or some intimate moment with a LI scene. NGL, I am looking forward to this scene, I hope it is in ep8 though I think it already is

And It is really beautiful!

No numbers, but it's now know from Steam and DPC to get over 3000/300.

We're missing a few key numbers (specifically, the current render counts), but that was still an informative dev diary for a change!

DPC is suggesting somewhere between 1500-200 static renders and 80-120 animations (counting the queue and SFW ones) remain. If we combine the information here with the 2000 static/200 animation milestone from a couple weeks ago, we get target numbers of 3500-4000 statics and 280-320 animations, or an average of 3750 statics and 300 animations. Obviously we're not counting any renders he's produced since then, but it's the best we can do and it's pretty consistent with our previous estimates. Chart it all up and we get something like this:

Spoiler: Charting What We Can

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

As you can see, we're clearly a long way from hitting those goals at the rate DPC appears to have been progressing. Given then numerous non-art tasks on the list, it seems safe to assume that rate isn't going to be increasing any time soon. With static renders likely to be the bottleneck (at least for art), I'd say we're looking at a very rough window between October 22 and November 19, though obviously there are huge error bars on that. Add the 2-3 weeks for beta testing and I don't believe an October release is in the cards any longer.

Just have to hope he's right that the wait will be worth it. There's definitely a lot to look forward to, and I am curious to see what that "season wrap up" code he mentioned is for.
