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

[Deleted member 4298851]

Riona is the only girl for me but I can not choose her!

I also have doubts about her future in this game. She's been mentioned, along with Quinn, as possibly being "expendable," so that doesn't help either.

I'm with you absolutely wholeheartedly.... I wish we could concretize something more serious WITH a "proper path" as a LI with both Riona and Nicole a.k.a. Envy... Let's hope that something really happens in Season 3 of what we are hoping for in these regards... I would be VERY disappointed to see these secondary characters stay as they were because they showed a lot of potential in my opinion (and let's not forget ABOUT Lily)!

This week I've been working on several different areas of the game, including renders, animations, and GUI/main menu updates.

I'm almost finished with the writing, I have a couple of more scenes left to write, and several coding tasks remain.

I believe I'm more than halfway done with static renders. I don't know how many animations I want yet.

Don't forget to submit questions for the Q&A event. It will be at least another year until you'll have this opportunity again. Ask your questions about the game and game development

It's time for part 6 of the patron milestone reward.

Each winning order has gotten a render so far, but there's more to come.

Well... Shit... Interlude only releasing by March looks more like a reality each week. I was trying to fool myself and think that EP9 wouldn't be arriving only by the end of the year.

I assure you, I want to see the interlude as soon as possible.

Only then will I trash-talk Zoey.

Hi guys... another more light-hearted question in order to know one thing: Where are the Being a DIK 0.8.2 transfer saves located? I can't find the actual files in the folders, can someone kindly tell me where they would be?

Uhm, should I search in here %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\RenPy too?

Since it appears you're on a Windows-based PC, you don't need to type all that out, you can just shortcut it with %appdata%\RenPy. The Season 3 import files are in the persistent folder and clearly named.

 

[BorgiaBou]

One update per year here i comeeeeeeeee, viva mr. pinkcake...

 

[AchedCroissant]

In the last chapter she made an incredible aesthetic leap, in my opinion.

but a really significant improvement even compared to the seventh chapter, I would like to understand DAZ to see if it has changed something or is just an improvement in hardware

I think what improves is the character since a new version comes out and of course the DPC GPUs do magic too bad he literally doesn't bother much to make the models look better than they could be

Damn, I'm finding it harder every day to not do a Riona run. I know she doesn't have a lot of content really compared to the others, but damn I love Japanese girls.

My only issue with that is that can I go cold-hearted on Jill and try to be neutral with her, or even DIKish. Not helping her with the recital, the picnic date, you can't avoid all that if you're even an asshole, right?

Do it with these statistics


I have this route

Thank for the tip, but the PERSISTENT is actually a file? Because I can't find the """folder"""... And "clearly named" over seems like an exaggeration to me since I am struggling to highlight the right one(s) that contain these 5 transfer saves of mine, so be a little clearer, thank you!

Surely we are having a misunderstanding, but give it a little more effort and the truth will be clear!



P.S: For the rest of course I appreciate any kind of comment even the least meticulous and accurate I do not make distinctions!

Rio on a CHIK affinity route? That's sorta surprising. Those stats look doable. What about all the Jill stuff? that's my issue with doing a non-Jill honest Rio run.

Maybe before E9 drops I'll take an honest run at it, and try not to let my heart grow a little cold when it comes to Jill.

That's about what I expected.
1) He will almost finished coding and writing the script
2) He managed to make 50% of the renders, given that he has been testing the game for the last month and a half to GOG in Steam.
I think the release in February is more than real.

I know I'm just chomping at the bit to attack Zoey once the Interlude comes down the pike.

He practically did the interlude halfway. The script and code are written. All his remaining work is rendering. I can't even imagine what should happen to him so that he doesn't have time to do it by mid-February. Not to mention March.
P.S. If we assume that his plan was 1000 renders for this update and he has already done 500. He does about 100 renders a week. That is, there are about 5 weeks left before the release of the game.

There is miscommunication. You're looking under your game install folder, this is the wrong place.

The file is here:


%appdata%\RenPy\persistent

edit: It is plausible that the Steam copy saves it elsewhere, but this is where the Patreon version stores it

Jill's problem like Maya and Josy is that the "Other" path is blocked... So what did I do to not play the game again from 0?

When I got to breakfast with Tommy, Heather, JB and Helena, I closed Maya and Josy's route.

I changed the variables, I didn't use the MOD, so the MC by default chose the "other" route, but of course you have to have those 4 routes active.

Thank you very much, it is much clearer now! I apologize for not understanding on the fly

I can confirm that it is in the same folder for all installations of the game because is a Ren'py one

Affinity or statut don't matter with Riona. As for Jill, if you don't kiss her on chap 4 or take it further on the couch in chap 5, she loses interest but they remain on friendly term no matter what your affinity is ( just like Sage or Bella ). You don't get the picnic scene but you can still help her with the recital if you practice her song.

the testing phase this time will almost certainly be longer than usual, in the end DPC created the interlude for this very reason

Man, this sounds like it's going to be a science experiment. I also want all the screenshots and rewards of Riona I can get. I'm used to going to Bella's after the M/J thing. I guess I'll have to go Sage's or Derek's now. I hope attempting this isn't as aggravating as I feel like it could be.

Alright. That sounds good.

I'm trying not to make a big deal with this guys. In two other games, three in fact, I've been doing other routes and trying other things in-between updates. The amount of time it takes to go through this game, even with a WT, and going sort of out of character for me, is very big.

Going to have to use the CTRL/TAB thing to FF through Jill scenes because I don't want to see her sad or upset. Man, this is so unlike me with this game, at least for this one time.

Even if the testing takes a week, we still fit into February. In addition, he does much more than 100 renders per week. It's usually 120 or so. And 1000 renders is an assumption. His plan could be 600 or 800 renderers.
