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

Patron milestone reward
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.



Enjoy and have a nice weekend!

Are you saying that they're just supposed to be a set of variables (so even in or on the single file) that you're going to need to "check off" in Season 3 so you can start from the same point, right?

Yeah, it's basicly just needed for a fresh start in the new season 3 standalone, probably they wont appear in the new saves either, you will just start season 3 picking one of the saves from end of season 2.... Ofcourse any save you make after that will again appear in the season 3 saves screen.

I'm in two minds about whether that choice should have a significant impact... though it's kinda moot given Sage's insistence it was all just sex in the early episodes.

I don't know if we should be penalised or rewarded for waiting for her to be single. It doesn't seem to change Sage's opinion on the MC (but that could be lazy writing). There's some genuinely nice moments between the two on the fuck buddy route that seem to be for nothing now. Maybe avoiding all the consequences of Sage cheating that I outlined recently would be reward enough. Keep the overall arc the same, just avoid one awkward (but in my opinion long overdue) conversation.

at least for me it was a complete surprise scene.

I don't expect there to be much difference between the two runs (in fact I don't have the second one) but you never know.

and also it's hard to imagine which one should be better. the fuckbuddy surely knows her more, but he's "morally" weaker, but that shouldn't be a problem for Sage, and besides it would be quite punitive that whoever followed her from the beginning would have a lesser relationship than whoever jumped the run

imo...
DIK + fuck buddy ... Break up when she graduates (or before if you messed around with Jade), Quinn thwarts things - bad end for some
CHICK + wait ... Can make it work and she helps Maya and helps bring down Quinn\Burke

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

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?

sadly I have to give up on March as the release date of the interlude

 

[DanLong]

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

[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)!

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.

 

[Ilhares]

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...

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

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.
