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

[sixart]

(i hope i remember which is which when the time comes)

That would have been easily solved if you would have named said save state accordingly at the end... beats guessing I'd say

Recompile takes the incompatible RPYC files made under a different version of the Ren'Py SDK, tosses them out, and rebuilds them with the current version you're running. It makes the game run where it would otherwise give you an error, likely in characters.rypc, because it doesn't understand it. So far every game I've run with Ren'Py 7.6.4 this way, even those released with newer versions like BaD 8.x with 7.6.10 and Leap of Faith Chapter 7 with 7.6.11 will run just fine under 7.6.4 as long as it is recompiled or doesn't have RYPC files from a newer version of the RenPy SDK. I don't think any of the developers are doing anything in terms of features that make compatibility between 7.6.x versions an issue (if any exist at all).

I understand now from your previous post that SDK 7.6.10 doesn't run on your Mac, so that's why you recompile them with a SDK that works.
Did you try to remove the quarantine from SDK 7.6.10 with the xattr command ? I had to do for several different SDK's myself before they would run.

I hope we will have some Sally scenes in season 3, because i didn't know she was thick until this one View attachment 1558810

No doubt, when I saw her there, I was legitimately disappointed that we couldn't go back and ask her to dance. I love the back and forth between MC & Sally - at some point we'll hopefully get an opportunity to take her to bed, this was just kind of a missed opportunity to build toward that given how hot she looked and how emotionally down she was about things at the time.

It´s a good summary. About Tremolo, I think there is a great difference between being a client of the "restaurant" or not. If he´s not a client, it´s plausible that he's not sure if Quinn´s offer during the first chapter is genuine. He could think that the "restaurant" could be one of Quinn´s mental games: she makes that offer to him like a crude practical joke. If Tremolo accepts, she makes even more fun of her for being a pervert. But nothing of that is hinted during the dialogue. If he´s a client, he knows first hand that Quinn is pimping other HOTs, and it could (and should) have a great impact in Tremolo´s relationship with Sage if (or when) the "restaurant" comes to light.



Nothing of that is not well resolved so far, IMO. The way Tremolo handles his suspicions (if he´s not a client) or his knowledge (if he´s client) about the "restaurant", and the way she seems to ignore that elephant in the room even with Quinn doesn´t makes a lot of sense, except if he´s a client and he´s ashamed of that. If Tremolo chooses not to even talk about the topic with Quinn or Sage because he doesn´t see prostitution as something bad per se, like any other job, he has a serious moral values problem.

МС Сhick definitely knows something about Quinn's business, but doesn't say anything. He once told Maya not to trust Quinn as she uses girls. Moreover, it is very strange that he did not dissuade Josie from joining the HOTs knowing about it. Because there's a potentially unpleasant situation there even for Chick. He knows something about HOTs and the restaurant, but he doesn't even tell Josie and Maya about it.

I've been working hard on the interlude since the last status update.

I'm close to 80% done with the writing and am currently focusing on creating the art for it.

There will be new GUI designs and one new mini-game for it.

Tomorrow, I'll be taking the day off to celebrate Christmas.

I'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas to all who also celebrate, and a Happy Holidays to everyone else!

Thank you for the amazing support you've shown me this year.

As a little Holiday gift, enjoy this preview of the upcoming interlude!

Love

Considering that he is writing the script and code at the same time, this is good news. Development is very fast.

There will be new GUI designs and one new mini-game for it.

It was expected, but I didn't think there would be a mini-game in the Interlude.

New mini game and GUI... other than that little hard data to try to advance a probable date. For now I insist with February/March.
Great image of Zoey

I'm calling it, it's a surfing or skateboarding minigame where there'll be a slider moving from left to right and you have to click a button when it's in the middle

GUI design is not something that takes a lot of time, especially for such a simple engine as renpy. I think he changed the design because of the new save system so that it was easy to switch between the paths of the girls. And as for the mini-game. Then it can be something like a game on the phone, it is will be skateboarding or surfing. Well, it may take some time.

Look at the picture. Royce Villa can be seen in the background. Vivian, Miranda and Lynette can be seen. It's not a selfie and I assume it was taken without a self-timer. Without a self-timer because a Derek once wanted a picture with an air jump and Josy said to him that can't succeed. Now there is no air jump here or Lynette has already landed again. Derek once said to Isabella in a cluck (Tremolo Pancake) that what flies up, comes down.

Who took this picture?
I'll leave out the second question.

Was it Amelia, Lana or maybe Isabella. Two are Royce and one has a close relationship with Jill. With that, there are really only two people that come to mind when looking at the photos from Jill's bed box. Isabella and Lana.

The thoughts flow again. Isabella and Lana knew each other about 20 years ago. Therefore, it is likely that James also knew Lana and thus the three girls in the picture.

Was James having more fun than Neil? Did James and Neil know each other? Were they friends? If so, then it is also possible that Neil knew Isabella.

Since I didn't play the Jill path, I don't know how the sushi dinner went and what conversations were had. But there are strange parallels. A rich girl (Jill, Lynette) invites a poor boy (Tremolo, Neil) to dinner with her friends.

As far as the self timer is concerned, we have no elements to say if it was used or not, simply because we don't know what kind of camera was used.
Assuming the self-timer was not used, who took the picture? Do you say Amelia, Lana or Isabella?

That it was Amelia I consider very unlikely and for two reasons:

1) As I've already written, the house in the background I think was the house Lynette lived in before she moved, and according to Bianca's account during dinner, it was her father and Jill's father who introduced their two families. So Miranda and Amelia didn't know each other before.

2) We know that Amelia had two daughters and we know that Jill is enrolled in her third year at B&R. So she is at least two years older than MC.
How many years difference is there between Jill and Lana? I say no less than 8, but it wouldn't be incorrect to assume 10.
So between Lana and MC there is a 12 year difference, which means between Amelia and Lynette the age difference is at least the same, unless Amelia gave birth to Lana when she was 8 (LOL).
Assuming then that Lynette, Miranda and Vivian were about the same age, I find it hard to think that Amelia, who was at least 12 years older than Lynette was in their group of friends, unless Vivian is Amelia's sister, but we don't know that yet...

So who took the picture? Lana? I would say no, because of what I wrote sub 1)
Isabella? It could be a possibility but at the moment there is no concrete evidence to prove it.
The only name I can think of at the moment is Marion, who Lynette mentions on the first page of her journal. We still don't know who Marion is, maybe her sister, but I think if her name was included by DPC it wasn't by chance...

He knows something about HOTs and the restaurant, but he doesn't even tell Josie and Maya about it.

I have never accepted Quinn´s offer, so I don´t know if "client Tremolo" has the choice to say something to Maya. "Non client DIK Tremolo" has that choice too.

Yes, that´s what I find weird. I understand that "client Tremolo" don´t talk because he´s ashamed or he wants to continue being a client. But I don´t get why "non client Tremolo" don´t talk clearly with Maya, Josy and Sage, or even confronts Quinn about it. DPC should have included a couple of lines of text with "non client Tremolo" saying for himself something like "I´m not sure if Quinn is talking seriously about this "restaurant"..." or something like that.

a new game... my heart explodes with joy

It was the one I was waiting for the most

I think we all knew there was going to be a new mini-game. Especially if he has a new mini-game in every episode, lol.

i assume the derek one is the gay path? so modern...

With "spicy sausage surprise" flashbacks for Tremolo's blackouts when partying.

No really the MC don't know anything

When you give Camila a drink on EP 7

She invites you to her room

Then she tells you this
The MC replied that why would he tell her? (Quinn)

And she just answered like this
Then Riona enters the room and of course if you want to have a threesome with her Riona talks to Camila in a low voice and says this to Camila
With Riona the dialogue does not change, it is the same only that neither of them charge the MC for fucking, they both do it for "free" they only want to fuck with him

Melanie and Sarah if it is necessary to accept Quinn's offer but with Riona and Camila it is not

I feel like the two of them are the most likely to leave Quinn.

While thinking about the Interlude and how I'm expecting to get to know better that adorable creature Zoey, a thought occurred to me.

I thought it would be pretty entertaining if Zoey was recapping her relationship with the MC in an almost identical way to how the MC laid it out to Bella, except her perception of their relationship was totally different.

So, the following is my take on it. Surely this is the longest post I've ever done, and there's a bunch pictures, so I grouped them into something more easily manageable.
