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

[Macky009]

I didn't see that coming in the ending of episode 8. Now I am more excited in the next episode

 

[KarloB1990]

Have you tried Casiope's walkthrough?

To be honest, I never saw it. But to be fair I often skip the forum and not read it regularly, often coming back after a month or two
But for my curiosity I will check it, thanks for the link.

Except it might be true only to some people. Not to all of them. It's nice when both partners are truly see that way but let's back to not even reality but to our fiction. So speaking of Sage, please remind us did she or did she not withhold valuable information from the MC?

I hope we'll get the chance to confront her on that (wouldn't hold my breath tho).

What, the last name thing? That's just DPC's heavy handed plot manipulation. Likewise MC never telling Sage about Quinn's 'restaurant'. If the player ever had the choice to reveal these things it might be germane to this conversation, otherwise it's just bad writing from the dev.

DPC says that the next chapter would be short the "Zoey interlude" so would it be possible for it to come out in March? I mean DPC says short but I bet it would be more than 1000 renders which would be a small update for him would be a big one for other Devs

Bullshit you just know he's planning on packing it with 9 different Zoey Gang Bang sex scenes

 

[PashafromRussia]

If it's just a Zoey intro like at the start of every episode, it shouldn't take long to make. EP8 Bella flashback was very short, but it would be tactically good to release it somewhere mid way to the EP9 release, to ease the wait as releasing it next month wouldn't help with the withdrawal
It should probably just be a story about what Zoey did since she left, she obviously can't meet p with MC straight away as he's a bit busy at the moment, with saying fuck on repeat

It is more logical to compare it with the introduction to episode 5, where the history of the diks was told. It was quite a large and linear prologue. I think the interlude will be of this type.

 

[akki37]

I have seen here that lot of people are talking about next update will be shorter. But i don't think DPC ever said that next update will be shorter. He just said that from next update there will be separate installation, hence file size will be smaller.
So next update size could have same size of images and animations as this update, but since it will be separate files, it's size could be 4-6gb. that's why DPC said smaller size.
I think entire season 3 is named as Interlude. So, there could be 2 more seasons after season 3. So total numbers of season could be 5.

 

[superpoem]

Heya, just had a thought over the whole pregnancy test thing shown during episode 8 and wanted to share 4 theories on who it could be running through my head.

1. Ashley - it's been pointed out that it could be hers with the whole "it's complicated" she gives Derek during the episode regarding breaking up with Big A. and I think it would make sense as it would cause a lot of drama and would drag in the MC along with Derek. But the "It's complicated" could also be referring to the fact that the traditions and history between the HOTS and ALPHAs, and looking at the HOTS Ashley is the only member who has any actual connection to the HOTS now that Sage is split from Chad. so this could be a red herring.

2. Mona - Mona would make a good way to bring back a character and would bring up the whole prostituion ring and would be a great way to cause large drama with the HOTS and Quinn, but it seems a bit lacking when you think that she didn't go through with it when at the PREPs party with Stephen Burke. it keeps being brought up by Sage and Riona that they want to talk to Mona but can't get in touch and a pregnancy could be a reason why Mona is so silent and won't talk to any of the HOTS

3. Tania(stripper)/Heather - this one I can see just because its shown for no real reason that Tommy had sex with Tania or a threesome with both Tania and Heather. Tania is a new character so this could just be a way to tie her into the story properly or just to push Tommy into a corner more than he already is with the whole Drugs challenge he is currently going through. and There is nothing we can do to stop Tania and Tommy from hooking up but we can get Toomy the Threesome with Heather. The main reason I can't see this is due to the fact that Tania is a new character and pushing all the Drama onto Tommy may not cause too big of a problem.

4. Camila - we know Camila is part of the prostitution ring meaning she's should be getting the free tution, which would imply she has had sex with Stephen Burke. She also implies this during the PREPs party when Mona decides(fails) to go through with it. During Episode opening when Camila is talking to Riona she blatantly mentions she needs the toilet and walks off, this could be the time she takes the pregnancy test and maybe someone more experienced could confirm but wouldn't you take multiple pregnancy tests just to make sure you're pregnant. I'm leaning more on it being Camila then on Mona just as Camila is more a part of the story right now and could actually implicate Stephen Burke, Quinn, The HOTS with both the Drugs and Prostituition as well as dragging in multiple LIs into the story. The only thing is if it is Camila I feel it would have more hints pointing to it being her.

But those are my thoughts on the whole Pregnancy test appearing at the end of the episode, and as I'm not the most observant during my play through they might be way off.

I cannot endorse your platform!

Spoiler: The Truth Behind Felicemastronzo's Scurrilous Slander

i agree with you that it was an important moment, in the end it was the first moment of intimacy between the 3, free, and not related to the scavenger hunt. and for this reason it should have been sealed by a better scene.

instead it's sloppy, the fact that it could potentially be even worse (with Maya's ridiculous retreat) doesn't make it any better. even the sex scene with Josy at the beginning of the chapter is technically a quickie, but it has a whole other playfulness. this feels like a forced step that has been solved with minimal effort (maybe just to compensate for the lack of celebration in MC's room, a sweetener after a deception)

probably DPC as well as with redheads has a problem also with birthdays since 2 of his worst renders are related to this eventuality

(these two scenes seem to be taken from an "amateur" game of some years ago)

the threesome with Quinn and Riona for me too was disappointing overall, I was expecting something much wilder, but it was a real threesome, this second one of Maya and Josy just wasn't.

the great test made in the sixth chapter by "order" of Quinn came much better, there was much more tenderness and passion (a wonderful starter)

of course it could be a good sex scene even without being a real threesome, but it is not
for me it's hands down the worst sex scene in the game (i still miss Jill and Jade in this chapter, i hope they do better and i doubt it won't be)

different flower. It isn’t the plant he gives you this episode it’s the one from the last episode in the courtyard. Door to the left of the staircase down to Tommy’s room. There’s an empty pot in there.

thank you very much, I had almost given up

Have you tried Casiope's walkthrough?

in my opinion it is even better than the official one
maybe the only thing that amnca him is the indication to find the money

for the rest compact and clear

Hi guys, is there any difference between normal and compressed game?

 

[KarloB1990]

Hi guys, is there any difference between normal and compressed game?

Compressed version is often referred (from what I know) for having problem with crashing, especially in the minigames. So even if you can play it you never know, when the game will say "F**k you"

 

[jaw1986baby]

This may be a shock but one of them is compressed

 

[sixart]

Hi guys, is there any difference between normal and compressed game?

What do you think ?
No relavant difference... quality is crunched... 20GB - 4.5GB... decide for yourself !

Welp 8.1 have not crashed in neither of my playthroughs... currently at the 8th

 

[KekWGgWP]

I guess you didn't understand what I meant.

DrPinkCake just made a miracle happen in BaDIK: even though MC isn't the only male character who's fucking chicks, no one here in F95 ever claimed there's ntr in BaDIK.

Why? because no male character is a real antagonist: no male character is hitting on any MC's love interest. Sage's ex boyfriend is... gay, forchrissake. Bella's husband is dead/absent. Maya's a lesbian who discovered Magic Male Rod. And so on.

You basically want NTR to be present in the game but you don't think about the possibility that maybe this is the dev choice, even though NTR would be present, it would definitely be avoidable because not everyone likes it.
Again that's something of personal preference, not every game is suited to have NTR in it.

Got it! View attachment 1519888

Man what a waste of development time that app! Triple tile is so boring to play it hurts. I just started cheating money because I really cannot waste time on those mini-games.

IDK, I started a new game to check yesterday before I posted. In the store with Josy. Her teeth are nice and white. I am sure there are some not so good. But this update it's super noticeable and distracting. In a lot of renders, it looks like a chrome grille.

It really is a lighting issue. Not a reflection issue. I can see that he is trying to use more natural light from the scene as his lighting source. He really should have painted their faces. I'm only at the pool with Sage. A lot of the renders are dark(MC's room EG). I prefer the earlier renders TBH.

As for time being an issue. It was 7 months between updates. So it's hard to use that as a reason. I would rather it take 8 or 9 months if it means getting them done correctly. Besides, he's making enough monthly to make this unacceptable IMHO. I could have done without the sliding animation.

Plus, so far the writing has been below standard this update. They need windows. I get it. How much content needs to be dedicated to that? I'm not a supporter currently. So I'm not complaining too much. But if I had supported the full 7 months between updates. I would be kind of pissed off. Let's just hope that episode 9 returns to DPC's incredibly high bar. That was present in 1-7.

Yes I've seen those issues in ep 8. If you noticed, there are also problems with some textures in Ep 8. I remember a sofa with really visible rendering errors that form a sort of big patch in the middle of surface. The bras of the girls most of the times have an unrealistic deviation when they reach the shoulders. Maya skin texture is very very bad but maybe it's the same one since ep 1 (it has always been bad, probably the only way to fix that would be post production in Photoshop, but that's an extra passage that DPC never did, for lack of time I guess).
The dialogues are lacking or missing in the sex scenes. Honestly I expected better in the Bella scene. The rooster replies are fewer than ep 7 (I've opened the files a few minutes ago). He dedicated a lot of efforts to animations but I really prefer better dialogues and eroticism in the scenes than short animations that do not add that much value, I use my brain to animate . That development time could be better used in my opinion and for my tastes. But at DPC defence, it seems many people nowadays do pretend a lot of animations in a game, so he has to provide them if he wants big money.

 

[Poison-Idea]

I just completed a Maya/Josy playthrough and in the end it said i had chosen them, but also that i had chosen no one of the ones i dated. Is that supposed to be like that or did i encounter some bug?

 

[Bruno3]

I honestly dont know how to feel about Zoey's episode.
I mean, we just decided our prime love interest or "others".
Why would we care for Zoey now and an episode just for her, kinda odd to me, but imma trust Dr Pinkcake, he never disappoints.

Yeah i thought about that too, the next chapter will most probably be a flashback about Zoey's life while she was away, what she did while she was gone, why she came back etc. so i don't think it will be very short, but it will be shorter than usual chapters since it's interlude and not a proper chapter.
I don't know why but she kind of reminds me of Chloe from Life is Strange, with the blue hair and tattoos and i assume her personality will be similar too? i don't know, we will see.

 

[DirtyMario]

That development time could be better used in my opinion and for my tastes.

Well if you want to start about wasted Dev time we could also talk about the myriad of renders, text and animations spent on telling Lynettes/Neils story. I sure do hope that it comes into play real soon because so far it contributed nothing interesting to the story that unfolds in the present time zone.
Yea sure maybe MCs mom was friends with Jills mom, I get it, but that plot point could have been told with that single photograph alone.

I mean did you really expect that in the next season we will not see new girls? we surely will see more characters added.
