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

[Klopdwerg]

Episode 7 was a little over 5 months in development, and that was only 1 episode ago. If the Interlude is released in early February a late July release for Episode 9 is, as Felice said, optimistic but possible.

Really, it depends on how big DPC wants the Interlude and Episode 9 to be.

Didn't DPC said he wanted to make the episodes a bit shorter so the wait wouldn't be that long?
The interlude is known to be pretty short and just to speed up the story behind Zoey. So that won't take that long.
Because of the interlude he won't have to pry the story of Zoey in the upcoming episodes.

He may have said that but I've never seen it. And I would be surprised if the Patrons would be happy with an ep9 that was significantly shorter than earlier episodes.

I haven't seen anything where he even mentioned working on ep9 and I don't think he's going to start until the Interlude launches

the latest updates are rather vague, he has clearly only spoken about the launches on the platforms, not even on the interlude has he been unbalanced so much, impossible to say where he stands on that either.

but my point was that the month, month and a half spent on the interlude could discount part of the time of the ninth chapter by being "narratively" a piece of it

Holy shit, this guy just doesn't give up.

Maybe, but I doubt it. Especially if my theory plays out that part of the need for the interlude is to cover the fact that he couldn't deliver two full updates this year.

Get in line

I don't think that

in the end we had already reached the threshold of 6 months (for me psychologically very critical) per episode, at that point it was only a matter of time that there was a year with only one episode anyway.

probably even without interlude, but only because of the double launch we would have strongly risked to have only one episode this year

Actually, you can get the Sage/Quinn threesome even if you've ignored the hell out of Quinn. You need to be on Sage's path (either as a fuck buddy or someone who hooked up with her in Episode 7), and you cannot have CHICK Affinity, but that's it. Quinn will make a comment about how she doesn't even like the MC but she'll still agree.

As an amusing anecdote, due to the way permanent Neutral Affinity works it's possible to miss this scene because you have not yet made enough CHICK major decisions.

Indeed, I though that Quinn would reject the main character when we refuse to help her, but she just doesn't care. So for the threesome to occur, he must either be committed to the girl or ignore her: she won't accept the main character to both hangout with her and with Jill. This proves on the one hand that for Quinn, sex is not related to feelings; and on the other hand, that she can be as jealous as Isabella.

I regret, however, that we don't know more about Quinn's animosity towards Jill, whereas the game's creator usually takes care to detail each other's opinions.

the run with Quinn and Jill was one I was planning, having the right affinity was not prohibitive, and I was counting on the fact that as a story they never crossed paths.

I don't quite understand the sense of imposing a choice (unexplained, like Quinn's at least intuitable one towards Maya and Josy) when shortly afterwards we would have made one directly

It's a new year, and it's time for a new Q&A post.

The purpose of the Q&A is to be able to ask me questions about my games and the game development that you've wondered about, and I'll be able to answer them publicly for all to see.

It's a good way to reach out to many people at once since I have very limited time to answer the comments and DMs you send me.

I will answer as many questions as possible in a new post next month for all patrons.

The last time I did this, I got a lot of questions, so I might not answer everyone's questions this time.

All answers will be spoiler-free of future content, and I won't answer questions that would require me to spoil future content.

Ask your questions in the comment section below.

If you have several questions about different things, I'd appreciate it if you make separate comments for those questions.

The only explanation I can think of for Quinn and Jill is that Dr PinkCake didn't have the time or opportunity to set the relationship between these two characters (Jill didn't attend any parties involving the HOTs or the DIKs).

After eight episodes and as the game is about to start on new basis, this conflict is addressed in a few lines of dialogue so that a player could not date both the most Chick character and the most DIK character. And maybe he thought that Quinn wasn't a person being dumped, but a person who dumps others.
