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

[Lostanddamned]

the time horizon is still very long, there are at least 4 years of waiting, but until DPC makes money with the shovel I don't think he will give up, it's easier that we give up, or the forum...

I mean, fucking NOPY existed before this thing started. Nopy doesn't exist anymore but this fucking thing is roughly at the halfway mark.

it fits, that's what I was referring to when I talked about a bitter ending

a beautiful but melancholic love story, a story that cannot be happily ever after.

Doesn't have to be bitter though, I mean we got a Jeane ending in No More Secrets (as outrageous as it sounded in the begining) and a Nikki ending in My Sister, My Roommate, and that was beyond impossible (like the dev himself said that he didn't want to do a Nikki ending but due to the fan outrage he was forced to).

Honestly, I'd be up for the ending that MC graduated and Bella quit her job, then MC inherited the family wealth and spent their days 24/7 fucking.

 

[Tadpol]

what if burkes just say "anything for you sage, we're so proud of you for growing into such an amazing person willing to help others" and they just pay maya's 4 years of tuition out of their own pocket without ever asking for something in return

I seriously think it's going to turn out like this. (Not the end where the Burkes take out the checkbook for Maya) However, they will have a lead for Sage and Maya.

It's not Maya asking for help, it's not the MC either, it's Sage. In addition, if the MC is present, it means that he is very close to Sage and Maya.

The fallout from the MC's choices (sleeping with Jade, ditching her, the video) will happen later, but it can't happen now because Sage is involved.

I mean there are so many great characters that deserve routes of their own, but I'm not sure if we will get them all.

We will not have routes (and different endings) for the side girls. The game features 5 girls, that's already a lot. I put Quinn aside, but for the others, nothing more should be hoped for. It's not possible.

you keep mentioning her... To you, she's Mrs. Felicemastronzo.

what's weird about Jeane's ending? the weird ones are the many mini harems, Jeane's is an incest game ending

Bella's character is too loaded to get off so easy. everything about her alienates her from MC, even Jill's mutual friendship is basically a hindrance.

 

[DavDR]

DPC has already decided the endings, that's for sure

I don't think he has decided the endings, in fact I've seen very little that would convince me that he has more than a vague outline as to where the story should go.

Pasha also brought up a good point about DPC adding more characters. The more updates I see the more I get the impression of someone struggling to control a runaway train. He has all of these followers now, he's selling custom renders and has monthly tiers in the hundreds of dollars. I'm sure he likes all the money and wants to keep it going but I feel like he's struggling to keep everyone happy. Go into the Patreon forums, it's a constant demand for more new girls, more threesome's, more special renders, etc.

This interlude is the perfect example. For a while now those tracking the development times of the episodes have discussed the possibility that a calendar year would come where he couldn't possibly deliver more than one full episode. 2022 is that year. While he may indeed need the interlude to test his saves, as stated, it also solves the problem of delivering two episodes this year while not being forced to make a smaller "episode", something that wouldn't go down well with the Patron's. Of course if he can't complete ep9 by early September he's going to face the same dilemma in 2023.

You know what, you can have Jeane. I'll have Liz, she's a younger and better Jeane anyways.

The Liz and Jeane ending was really weird, I did that once and I never done it again. Throughout the game the ending looked impossible considering her husband and her daughter were in the same house and she looked really devoted, the ending turned out fine. Wait, if you use the incest patch and Jeane is the MC's mom, then what does the patch make the guy that you go to get out of jail in the end?

I swear if Jill drives a wedge in the relationship the next episode and is like "Bella, this is wrong", I swear I will lose it.

So you think DPC is stringing us along by calling it Others instead of Quinn at the end of season 2?

I swear if Jill drives a wedge in the relationship the next episode and is like "Bella, this is wrong", I swear I will lose it.

I've never thought of this but it is totally plausible.

Felice doesn't want Jeane, he wants KRJ. His one true love.

the ending at least of the LIs is necessarily part of the vague plot outline that DPC has in his head.

Then in the course of the story it can also be that he completely changes his mind (or the patreons make him change it) on some aspect and adds more fillers to lengthen the broth.

but it's impossible that he doesn't already have the story in mind in its essentiality

i keep hoping that this interlude will be the exception, if it will become the rule unfortunately it will surely go beyond the usual 6 months between chapters

The endings of that game are all quite terrible, and condensed into a few scenes.

MC's birth father is in jail, Jeane's partner is a stepfather, and no one cares what happens to stepfathers

anyway nowadays with lasers they correct even the worst eyesight defects you should think about it... no, I think you live better this way

 

[Lostanddamned]

That's a really shitty thing to pull off though. There are Camila, Riona, Nicole, Lily and etc., I mean we had the option of spending time with all those characters and having it be for nothing and leading nowhere is retarded. I think if DPC does that, he's going to dig himself in a hole.

MC explaining to his real dad that he's fucking his real mom, yeah that doesn't really sound that good.

I don't have to correct anything though, because what you think is yours was already mine a long time ago.

there is a moment in the story for each of them when you realise that there are no plans for them, that they only serve to increase the sex scenes

Nicole when she invites the first stripper who walks by to celebrate MC, without her it would have been the perfect start to a believable relationship

Camilla when she became Riona's lady-in-waiting.

and so for each of them

 

[OFT]

but for the others, nothing more should be hoped for. It's not possible.

WHAT????

 

[sixart]

Kinda bored.. Can anyone recommend good anime type games?

 

[mightybored]

no MMF in this game

the only vague possibility could be Elena, but don't hold your breath.

Well, I'd go in on Elena with JB too, actually.

 

[shazba]

an ending can also be a bitter ending unfortunately, and it doesn't have to be a bad ending
for example Sage's ending could be like this, a great love, and a great goodbye at the end of college (if the story gets there)

La Trouple and Bella, for different reasons, are the 2 stories for which I find it hardest to imagine a happy ending.

about Bella there are too many mysteries and too many obstacles to a serene relationship, and the fact that everything is constantly postponed doesn't help me to remain serene (MC has been seeing Bella for 2-3 months and she still doesn't know what happened to her husband... the important thing was to tell Jill... but he didn't even do that... also postponed)

instead about the trouple i don't know... in the end even for the 3 guys it's more of an experiment than a real relationship. an experiment that we know will have to fail in some runs, sometimes leaving out mc but other times leaving out a girl. wouldn't it be the climax of the drama for those who are in the trouple to have to choose one of the two girls at some point (directly or indirectly)? just that drama full of guilt that DPC likes

Bella's ending doesn't have to be like MC and Bella married and had a kid and lived in her house, for example. That ending wouldn't fit, honestly. I'll be glad if we get something like MC graduates and sometime later runs into Bella, she looks better... Healthier. MC remembers how he helped her overcome her issues and move on and have a normal life. Then Bella goes like, "would you fancy a cup of coffee?" and we get a black screen and the ending is up to our interpretation.

The throuple ending is the most difficult of them all, there are way too many issues to be worked around and figuring out an ending that is different than a fuckfest is going to be a trick.

It's too early to talk about the final. I am skeptical about the future of the project. Yes, I always try to be optimistic about the development period and its features, but the reality is that the game is getting bigger, a lot of characters are being introduced into the game, animations are becoming more complex and detailed, full-fledged LI arches have appeared. Therefore, I am looking forward to new Q&A, where I will solve everything for myself. If he doesn't really change his business processes and considering all this + the appearance in the new stores, I'm not even sure that the game will be completed. at all.

I don't think he has decided the endings, in fact I've seen very little that would convince me that he has more than a vague outline as to where the story should go.

I don't think the ending of this game should be all that definitive. To me, this game is about the journey, not the destination.

The guy's just in college, helping out his friends and fucking girls. Sure, at that age there's some heartbreak and shit, but really those are the carefree, fun years.

All you romantic motherfuckers want him to have "endings" with these girls. He's too fucking young. Let him sow some oats, graduate, get a job, get serious and then find the woman he wants.

Settling down when you're so young...

Here's my ideal ending (maybe not the plot twist though).

About the ending... HELL NO ! ( Reading the lines I knew you were up to this... ) But what the hell does a nurse do in MCs firm ? Stalking... right !

Wanna bet it'll happen?
The way Jill reacted it's one of the more probable ways the story can go. The only question is if Bella actually tries to fight for her relationship with MC from the get go or if she suddenly starts doubting herself again because of Jill.

But I wasn't saying that the ending should show us how it will end, if it really will be a happily ever after. on the contrary, the "slides from the future" have always made me quite sick.

but that it should at least end with that hope, which is what everyone hopes for when they're in love, regardless of how it ends.

if the game would end in this school year, also the future with Sage would be extremely doubtful, with Bella so open that it wouldn't even seem like an ending, with the trouple... let's hope they'll get there at the end of the school year

Guys how to dowload one patch at a time?
