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

Even considering those beauties probably grandmas already. Someone may find it even better

They weren't when I was watching them! I was about 5 at the time, so, you know, formative experiences.

 

[NewTricks]

Of course! In defense, I wasn't on the Josy/Maya path when I first encountered the Jill/Josy library scene. DPC forced me into everything. I still haven't completed Josy/Maya run (stuck on ep. 6). I do have a Jill & Bella save, just in case DPC relents and gives us that worthy threesome.

My original main issue with Josy cucking me was that I hadn't yet bedded Jill. I thought Josy was going to smash before I did. Now that my MC has tasted the forbidden fruit, I'm not as adverse to Josy getting sloppy seconds.

Yeah I just finished my first playthrough sad to say. Played it total DIK all the way with only a few exceptions like beating up the nerd or starting fights at the parties for no reason or cheating on tests (cheating on girls however was not a problem). I did fuck every single sex worker who asked for money, though. I was like that futurama meme, spending all the sweet cash I made taking notes for nerds. The funny thing is that all that academic rigor bit me in the ass because I somehow ended up with permanent neutral affinity lol. Since I wasn't on anybody's path and I was just fucking every bitch I could find like a rabid dog on crack cocaine I lost basically every relationship except Sage, Bella, and Quinn (who is clearly who I deserve). When that positive pregnancy test was in the closing montage I was like "Fuck that could be anybody" because I laid out more creampies than a french chef. It was easier to count the HOTs I didn't fuck (3) than the ones I did. When I saw that

Spoiler: my future mother in law!

I can't wait for the next chapter to see him hoist with his own petard after that self-righteous breakup text.

So the TLDR is that my MC is a horrible person. That's all the test results say. "You are a horrible person." They weren't even testing for that. I think my next playthrough will be a massive chick run just as a palate cleanser.

 

[godkingxerxes]

To get all their sex scenes you need quinn, but to get with them period you don't need quinn.

Which is good cause I don't pay for pussy.

Giving all your money to Magnar? Rather give mine to Cammy.

 

[Ilhares]

I blame Doctor Who for mine....

My man. With a name like "Perpugilliam Brown", she was instantly memorable. Helps that she started with my favorite doctor, too. Now that I look back on my highschool experiences, I daresay she's directly responsible for the first girl I dated, they're very similar.

Leela was fun for entirely other reasons, though.

 

[Mieko_Donnie]

Well...
I want to rate this game again, but I won't. Not yet... I had played until episode 6, and I just started playing again from the beginning (I lost my saves when my pc crashed). But I want to say something. I am at a loss for words. yes i know it doesn't make sense, but those who really like this game will understand what i mean. I actually don't know where to start because I can relate to this game in so many situations. I am deeply disturbed by the accuracy and precision of the dialogues and the situations in which the characters of the game find themselves confronted, and particularly the mc of course. there's a rainbow of emotions here that's almost science fiction, but it's not. Characters with a very varied and deep character, well-constructed dialogues, hilarious humor, very fine eroticism , difficult choices to make, friendships that emerge, transform, evolve or disappear. It's something else, like this game. I'm only at the end of episode 3, and when Josy knocks on the door. The few words that follow (the thought of the mc) sound so real and project me far into my past... All the decisions made, all the secrets buried, all the barriers that we put between ourselves and others... it can suddenly reveal truths we knew we wanted...until we hear someone knock on that door. Behind this door, metaphorical or not, everything can change in a violent tidal wave in a few seconds. For better, for worse, and sometimes the worst is not what we thought. I worked in the porn industry because at the time I believed that my passion for women was going to lead me to this career. As a kid, I dreamed of being an artist, I wanted to be surrounded by women. however, this path was not laid out for me by my peers. But sometimes your blood family isn't your real family and can't help you thrive. So I worked for a few years as a construction worker. I built my business and it wasn't bad, but I was building things that weren't what I wanted to do with my life. I got married and we had children. But one day when I was not expecting it, a young woman came knocking on our door, and my past hit me in the face. At the time, I thought to myself: Wow! what a marvelous vision.... At that time, I was overwhelmed in my work, and my life as a couple was already at the edge of the pecipice. I didn't know this young woman, but I immediately recognized something in her look, her face... her mother. My greatest love, something I had tried to bury deep enough to harden my heart like stone. I knew she wasn't there to sell me a vacuum cleaner, but when I asked her, she cut me off and said, “Dad? It's really you ? Not knowing what was happening, I collapsed. It took me weeks to regain my memory and realize that I had not just two daughters, but three. My two-twenty-two-year-old daughter had come after all these years, and I'm only now finding out about her existence. After my divorce from my wife, I reconnected with the mother of my first daughter. As far back as I can remember, she had always wanted to work in fashion. When we met, she was studying at the university to be a clothing designer, I was already passionate about women's bodies, and photography, so I followed her career and that of my daughter as a model for a while.
It was absolutely wonderful. I was finally living the life I didn't even dare to imagine. But even the most wonderful things come to an end. For the second time, someone came to knock on my "door". That day, I thought my life had to end there. That same day, another door was opened. A man, a taxi driver, discovering that his wife was cheating on him. Drunk, he took the wheel of his taxi to escape his reality, causing the death of two of the most important people in my life. How ironic! My first job was a carpenter. I was building and installing doors... I'm skipping over the details that led me to the short career in the porn industry that I had, because that wasn't what I was looking for either. But one day, a woman; one of my old friend from college came knocking on my door... This woman who had become my best friend, then my mistress, is the one with whom I share my life today. She's like the angel on my right shoulder, and the she-devil on my left shoulder at the same time. I opened this last door without fear or hope, and I cried in his arms. She to whom I had closed the door of my heart years before, opened hers to me, and when I thought that everything was over for me, she opened the door of my soul to show me the way. So yes, some doors are made to stay closed, because opening them... may change everything. Sorry... This game traces so many events in my life, with all these vivid emotions... but it's good to remember who we are and where we come from. This game is so well done, it puts industry professionals to shame. Many thanks to Dr PinkCake for his wonderful work. Never lose this passion 'cause it's so precious!

That's why the Dev added the warning sign in the Intro for people who might have already witnessed those kind of events and will be easily offended or struck down by depression

I don't see a problem with that. Even if you chose Sage on the path of Dik, then most likely you had a good relationship with Quinn. Therefore, even if Sage gets angry for some reason and she break up with the player, there will always be Quinn who will be ready to take MС back. At least if the player had a threesome with Sage and Quinn, Quinn is present on the final banner of important сhoices.
In this case, there is no point in choosing Sage at all in the ending on the way of Dik and Jade, you will break up anyway. But at the same time, if you take the path of Others, Sage will still be waiting for you even if you fuck her mother, lol.

That's why I did another run and did not flirt or attempt to fuck Jade in the first Place, when I had the Heartbeat in the end of Episode 8 I was exactly reacting like the MC with FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. So I only hope the FUCK FUCK FUCK from the MC is (this is gonna be tough overall because of Tybalt) but since Jade knows MC is one of her best Students so far I think she doesn't mind that the MC dates her forster Daughter. We will see. I hope the Sage Path will not be a huge drama as with Josy and Maya since this is a crossroading relationship. Sage path was like more pure and you gave her something she ever wanted in her entire life when she was in love with someone (Chad who was unforutnaly gay I still don't get it how they end up together probably because he knew who her forster Parents were). You give Sage something she really needs and you are good to go, just don't fuck other girls or you end up like chad and getting hard punshes from her since you trained her well with your Fightingskills. I was too scared for Bellas path since she scares me the most and I did not have a huge bond to Jill either.
Since Sage path was the puresd of them all I always end up with Sage despide having alot of playthroughs in the past week.
I also fell in Love with the Character even when I have a Girlfriend in Real-Life lol.

 

[Mieko_Donnie]

When that positive pregnancy test was in the closing montage I was like "Fuck that could be anybody" because I laid out more creampies

The positive pregnacy test also came up for me (when I did not creampie anyone so it would mostlikely be Jamie relationship with the feiminist (I forgot her name lol). So don' worry about that since you are mostlikely in the clear.

But at the same time, if you take the path of Others, Sage will still be waiting for you even if you fuck her mother, lol.

You really think this is how its going to be? Or did you get any leaks or spoilers about that. Or is it just a theory you are going for?

My main run is Sage's path on neutral affinity without Jade and Quinn. But even then when MС enters the room, MС starts screaming FUCK FUCK FUCK! What the fuck, DPC? My MC did not fuck Jade, did not humiliate Tybalt, and in general, Jill himself eventually refused Tremolo, not inviting him to a family dinner with sushi.
The player saw Burke three times in his life and all three times they just said hello. Why should I worry? I don't know anything about Burke fucking college girls.
The only explanation for such a reaction may be that it is a retrospective reaction. During the last scene, the MC in the background says that autumn has passed, winter has come and it seemed to them that they were happy, but it didn't seem so. This reaction may be a reaction from memories.
Either way, this scene is shit done and do not grounded. It can only make sense for Dik on Sage's way with Jade and for Chick on Jill's way.

Sage says so directly if you reject her. She will wait, but not forever. And she asked Тremolo to tell her when you will have problems with your love interest.
This is a classic friendzone of Sage from DPC. It's so pathetic. I hate you DPC for that.

PCs have been rendering animations this week, and the speed is decent.

As I've mentioned before, I've been exploring SFW animations more than usual, but I've also tried utilizing a different kind of animation type that I've done a few times during lewd scenes in the past. I'm talking about animations where the camera cuts between different angles, making it more cinematic than looping. I found it very fun making animations this way, especially SFW animations.

Sometimes I string together 3-4 animations in a single animation. I will be moving more towards this animation type in the future, too. It won't replace the standard looping type, but it's something I want to explore more because I see potential in making interesting animations with it.

The Interlude will have 36 animations, and it's plenty more than that since several include 2-4 animations in one. So, the animation count from now on might feel less, but what's on paper won't do it justice. After all, it's just numbers, and the feeling when playing is what matters.

I estimate the remaining render time to be somewhere in between 1-2 weeks. Testers and proofreader have been notified, so beta testing and proofreading will start as soon as the animations finish, and I've tested them in-game.

I have polished and playtested the game this week, and I'm feeling happy with the Interlude as a whole. The release date is leaning towards early March at the moment.

Since there is waiting time now, even for me, I'm going to go ahead and start working on episode 9 because I frankly can't wait to get started on it. I have a lot of writing and planning to do. The Interlude will, of course, take priority when I can work more on it.

The .zip file for the Interlude, the first installment of Season 3, will be approximately 2.5-2.7 GB. You will be able to download it using a free MEGA account this time, which is great.

The preliminary changelog for the first modest release of Season 3 is the following:

-- Changelog Interlude --

Added the Interlude that includes

• 793 renders
• 36 animations
• 2 2D-art pieces
• 2 2D-art animations
• 19 songs
• 18 sound effects

Patron milestone reward
Here are the remaining wallpapers for the Josy and Maya order. Enjoy!







Next week, I'll give you the final part of this series, which is the remaining three pages of the comic book and some of the art that I used to create it.

Have a nice weekend!

This is a classic friendzone of Sage from DPC. It's so pathetic. I hate you DPC for that.

Sage's reaction to being dumped in episode 8 is almost too good to be credible. Not only does she take the rejection well, but she leaves the door open to potentially restarting a relationship later. The caveat that she won't wait for MC just about let's her keep some of her self-respect, I suppose, but it's still hard seeing Sage in such a weak position, and it's even harder to believe there'd be many girls in real life who would be quite so cool in the same circumstances. It made me think of the way Sage just keeps flirting with MC on some playthroughs, despite being rejected a lot, way past the point where someone as attractive as her would push it. The overriding impression for me from both situations was of being overly aware of the Hand of DPC, keeping possible lines open for the rest of the story, rather than making the story itself believable. Overall I really like Sage in spite of all this, but sometimes I don't think she's well served by the way DPC makes her act.

Either way, this scene is shit done and do not grounded. It can only make sense for Dik on Sage's way with Jade and for Chick on Jill's way.

I’m holding out for the start of the next episode to have some variety. Maybe have the MC taking stock and reassessing precisely how he’s interacted with these people. If this scene actually has some branching plot (one of the rare scenes where choices impact heavily) he could have his dramatic cake and eat it. A cliffhanger that leads into “actually, we’re fine”.

If the episode starts exactly where it left off and the MC mentally runs down his interactions with the Burkes it could be a good setup for the scene playing out differently. Ideally he realises on some routes he has nothing to worry about. In others he realises “fuck” doesn’t quite do enough to describe the shitstorm he’s about to walk into.

The other bullshit option is DPC treats everyone the same, we get one scene for every route, and DPC equates all the bare minimum issues with Tybalt to the whole Jade affair thing. If Stephen reacts the same to you mildly humiliating his son to you fucking his wife on camera and sharing it with your frat I’m gonna lose a lot of faith in DPC.

Most likely on March 4, Friday. But if the rendering goes well, it will be on February 25. But this is not particularly important. DPC is already working on episode 9, so there will be no downtime.

Dr PinkCake

Hmph! Some of us like numbers, thank you very much.

Anyway, we sound qualitatively further from release this week than last week. We've learned the estimated static and animation totals, but not how many have been rendered already. We know DPC had completed ~700 static renders by January 21, so those are probably finished by now. We also know there's 1-2 weeks of animations left to render. From the recent Q&A, those take between 1-28 days to render; DPC says these are on the longer side, but I doubt they're anywhere near the top of that curve. If we assume a relatively consistent rendering rate when DPC has been been working, I'd estimate he's probably averaging something on the order of 4 animations per week. Given that, our charts would look something like this:

DPC will still want time for playtesting, so we're looking at 2-3 weeks until release at best. So I'd say we're probably looking at an early March release. Late February is still possible, but everything would have to go right. (We might have a bit more leeway if DPC is willing to release the Interlude on a non-Friday, but I'm assuming he won't). Let's hope it's worth it.

Overall I really like Sage in spite of all this, but sometimes I don't think she's well served by the way DPC makes her act.

I just hope DPC doesn't make another drama out of it, like when you reject Josy in episode 4 and she cries in Maya's room if you decide to help her with her luggage. On the other hand, Sage's openness can lead to the fact that you will cheat with her on your chosen LI. The mechanics of cheating will be for sure, and Sage is the best candidate.
Sage is the love interest with which the easiest way and with which the maximum amount of content. Even if the player runs away from her the whole game, he can still choose her at the end of episode 7. This is all confusing to me. Why is this done? Maybe it is she who is pregnant from MC, and that test was a retrospective from memories?

And about the different branches of the game (always with Derek, sage, or Bella) in the fourth episode, I encounter a problem with my saves. We started the three branches, making saves for each of the branches, but when we restart the game from a save from another branch (Let's say we were advancing the three branches to the end courses, and we wanted to advance all the branches as well and starting from the respective saves) The game does not seem to take into account the change of variables when we resume the game on another branch. Is it just us, or is it the same for you too?
