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

[OFT]

there's only one expression of Bella's that doesn't drive me crazy, but not so much for the expression itself but because the whole face looks strange...

I'm referring to that look of admiration she gives to MC when he can't see her, as I remember it while she's helping him to arrange his room and at the breakfast in his house the day after their first time

I get what you are referring to, I don't have screen shot for that but Yea, it looks a little bit weird.

I knew exactly the one you were talking about, too, and I reluctantly must agree:



But it doesn't change the fact that she is The Goddess.

Which reminds me...

Who is the best girl for you guys?? i made my mind already.... for me is Sage

Isabella is best girl.

Probably because she'll break your kneecaps if you say otherwise.

Bella is the best girl, not because she will break your kneecaps, but because I have it from the highest authority in this thread that she is the best girl:

Never doubt him!

 

[AchedCroissant]

Let's hope it comes out somewhere in January so DPC could start working on episode 9

DPC in the last episode made 1000 renders in a month, it takes him more time to do mini games, free roams and especially animations, but since this interlude will not have sex, I don't think there are many animations since in normal chapters the animations most are of sex

Let's just cross our fingers and the interlude comes out at the end of the month or the beginning of February

 

[felicemastronzo]

Yes. How does he even fit 18 (or more) songs worth of time into this short(?) interlude unless they only play randomly? And then he beams about a bunch of SFW animations?? So more stuff like the blueberry walking up to the door with her goofy mannish face and grinning like the Cheshire cat? And please, porn game gods, please don't let them be awkward, silly surfing animations either. I still don't understand why this interlude is at all necessary. Can someone please explain this to me? Is it just to tide us over until ep. 9? All that does is prolong what we are truly waiting for. Just work on ep. 9. Anyway, DPC may have originally planned for it to be short, but I can see this growing out of control in terms of time spent in development. He can't help himslef.

about the non-lewd animations, in general i don't mind some of them are very beautiful and exciting (a girl approaching, or turning to look at you), so since in the interlude it seems there won't be sex (and how could it be otherwise if MC won't be present...) that there is some animation is ok


as long as they aren't terrible like the slides at the water park... stuff that would have been bad in the 90's...

 

[OFT]

I love veggies... okay broccoli not so much but I am ready to face her for my well deserved dessert.....

i'll take my Broccoli Smothered in Butter, Lemon-Pepper and EXTRA Cheez Please...

can i go BIG w/that order?

Though I was only reflecting on broccoli and not this yummy ( ) version of it

Quinn is learning to like broccoli, too...

 

[felicemastronzo]

This Look on her face

reminds me of Hannibal Lecter:

"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."

watch out!!! Bella smells fear...

 

[sixart]

Bella is the best girl, but not because she will break your kneecaps, but because I have it from the highest authority in this thread that she is the best girl:

Isn't this just an opinion ? Even it is N7s opinion

horse-blinders if you will... kinda like Derek when it comes to... Jade's Pussy

Don't tell me you envision yourself with a dildo helmet on !

Quinn is learning to like broccoli, too...

I will probably never like " like " broccoli... but it has not stopped me from consuming healthy food from time to time Not here to start a war on " heathy food " either... everybody can eat whatever they like to !

Just don't take Tremolos suggestion too seriously as in " EAT SHIT ! "

A thought just occurred to me that I would like to share. It's about the tuition.

Maya told the MC that Becky mentioned tuition, so it's not a rumor, but some sort of secret code from the Hot's. What if it was? There were 2 preps and Rusty at the dorm party. They are the children of rich parents. What if penniless girls get their tuition by getting involved with a son like that? There are plenty of fish in a pond like B&R. Only the fish are not the girls, but the rich boys.

The girls get knocked up and the sons' parents pay. The abortion with some hush money. Some don't get abortions and get even more hush money.

Maybe the scavenger hunt isn't over either. What if the hunt is not over until the most eligible bachelor in the meat market is spoken for?

Yes Warscared I know so that this basic idea is from you. But I added a few details.

I don't think it goes into this deep... but it's not an out of the world idea ! Don't forget this whole rich and famous gang can do whatever they like ( or at least they think so ) so they can make problems go away like it was a cinch

Only on Fridays and Tuesdays... Never onna Monday

But what about Saturday ??? All holds barred ?

free tuition exists, it's just that it's not free at all, it's a benefit for those who work in catering... Mona got it, so it's real. It's not a mystery.

but I don't really understand what is the relevance that Becky heard about it.

 

[sixart]

as Hannibal-Bella once said:

"One can hope."

No Holds Barred(unless their drinking in one or behind bars <.< )

No rest for the wicked...

I don't mind one or two mixedd in here and there, but AVNs are not meant to be cinema experiences or mainstream AAA games with constant motion on screen. The formula that works is: animate lewd scenes, the occasional non-lewd, and keep the rest as static images. Also, since MC apparently won't be present here (wow, really?) and no sex, then the SFW animations won't have much sensuality context attached. Watching someone drive a car or eat breakfast in an AVN is meh and hardly worthy of the time spent to animate it. I just think DPC wants to continue working on his skills; otherwise, this sexless interlude could easily be done with no animations.

What worries me is DPC's excitement level for an overabundance of SFW animations and what that may entail for ep. 9 and future episodes. We already have plenty of filler and bloat, but add too many non-lewd animations and it can grow out of control. This game is at the point where I can't play it without significant lag (and admittedly this is a me problem not an everyone problem), but I suspect more players will experience my issue as this game expands exponentially. At least DPC realises this and is trying to work on the mechanics for season 3.

RESIST ... i Say Un To... err Two?

Nope

Becky mentions it to Maya and Maya tells the MC. She mentions that it sounds like a HOT code.
There are 3 Rich Sons at the Dorm Party, which probably doesn't happen that often at a Dorm Party, does it?

That is how to spread a gossip 101...

It's weird. I repeat BaDIK and the theories sprout again.

Neil says at the beginning that Lynette came back after 3.5 maybe 7 days.

In EP4 we have 3 routes. Are these maybe time jumps?

Derek= 3 days
Sage= 5 days
Bella= 7 days

Mmmmmhhh?

I don't follow this...

All Hail Derek ... The Power Of Doofus Compels You!!!

Now that's more like it !

He´s not going to make enemies here saying that he doesn´t like Quinn but respect the people who likes her. But if he would dare to say that he doesn´t like Maya, someone would be reporting his post like crazy...

Strange... this reminds me of someone...

 

[TajaRrR]

Strange... this reminds me of someone...

And who could that be...? Tell as more

And who could that be...? Tell as more

Nope

In need of a juicy gossip ??? Talk to the rich fucks of R&B !

Becky mentions it to Maya and Maya tells the MC. She mentions that it sounds like a HOT code.

but it makes no sense

Becky isn't a HOTs and she didn't even try to become one, so she heard the same rumours that Maya did, what does it add that Becky heard it too? nothing, we already know that Maya isn't lying, and we know that almost everyone is aware that there's this rumour going around

That it's a hot code is Maya's deduction but without foundation.

but the medium continues to evolve

nowadays a VN without animation seems obsolete, probably DPC thinks that the more animations the better. it's ok, it doesn't seem to me absolutely nonsense, probably on Renpy more you can't do to modernize everything, the only way is to increase the "cinematographic" experience

I agree with you that it is Maya's conclusion.

But there is a hint in the game that Becky also tried to get into the HOT's once. It's a weak clue. Besides, Becky has been at B&R longer and might know more about it than Maya.

It was also just a thought of mine. As I like to write, it may or may not be true.

Good job

DPC in the last episode made 1000 renders in a month, it takes him more time to do mini games, free roams and especially animations, but since this interlude will not have sex, I don't think there are many animations since in normal chapters the animations most are of sex

Let's just cross our fingers and the interlude comes out at the end of the month or the beginning of February

For Episode 8 DPC made 4158 static renders in nearly 7 months, so ~600 renders per month (or ~140 statics/week).

Sadly, DPC's last update also mentioned how he's working on adding longer SFW animations to the Interlude, so it's entirely possible the Interlude will be massive and time consuming. Doesn't mean it automatically will be, just that we can't rule out the option. We really can't say much of anything for sure, and DPC refuses to give us a baseline beyond ~40-60 minutes of gameplay.

I think February is a reasonable guess given all the uncertainty, but it's wildly speculative.

free tuition exists, it's just that it's not free at all, it's a benefit for those who work in catering... Mona got it, so it's real. It's not a mystery.

but I don't really understand what is the relevance that Becky heard about it.

I think the relevance is that it could eventually lead to Maya learning about the restaurant (with much ensuing drama)a, but if so I expect it will take most of Season 3 to get there.

I agree with you that it is Maya's conclusion.

But there is a hint in the game that Becky also tried to get into the HOT's once. It's a weak clue. Besides, Becky has been at B&R longer and might know more about it than Maya.

More importantly, Becky is friends with Sarah, who DOES know all about the free tuition.
