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

[dalli_x]

Let's delve into dalli_x territory with this one. Why would the house be such a focal point, but only really be relevant on the Jill path? Because banging Jill will likely get MC access to the house. Why would that matter? Something he finds in the diary.

A clue to recovering, perhaps, something of significant value from the house, even if it's just a copy of his birth certificate (or hers) that gives him solid proof of who his family actually is? A buried safe that she knew the combination to, that was covered in renovations before the Royce family moved in? An actual fat stack of old cash in a nice bundle that's hidden behind the air duct in the basement on a supporting i-beam?

What could it be?!
(edit: While I am being sarcastic, this could be the key to MC's real wealth being revealed, so he absolutely gets to rub it into Tybalt's face. He's better looking, he's more well hung, he's legitimately nicer to Jill, and he's filthy fucking rich, something Tybalt only plays at being).

This is not dalli_x.

My MC is not fucking Jill and is not on his way to her. Besides, the MC has the picture with the house in the background and would recognize it if he were standing in front of it.

How could he get there? The MC helps Jill with her concert, and Amelia is in the audience. The Royce family invites the MC, Maya, Josy, and Derek to dinner because the MC made Jill's dream come true. This would also clear up the Maya preview. You need something nice to wear if you're already invited to the Royces' house.

The MC doesn't need to find a birth certificate or a safe. He has a contact person and can also ask who the previous owners were. The Royces should know the name of the previous owners if they bought the mansion.

If it has always been the Royce mansion, the Royce will know Lynette because there is a photo of Lynette making an ass of herself in front of the mansion.

Are you saying it because Lisa is brunette Jaye

They are similar, but Jaye's model seems to take parts from others as well, while also being heavily modified.

To be honest, Lisa's model reminds me a lot of Bella's. They are similar, but Bella's extensively modified.

Maybe I do have something for girls that look like Bella and Jaye.

 

[Ilhares]

I agree with you, so there is no proof that Lynette and Amelia knew each other.
But someone must have taken the photo?

Yes. It could have been them. It could merely be a camera on resting on a fence post, with a timer. It could be any number of things. Having it be this magical invisible Amelia is simply impractical to draw from what's presented. If she was such a good friend you'd think they'd have mentioned here when the three of them (Lyn, Miranda, and Viv) were out on the town, or virtually at any point before this in the diary when she mentions her friends.

Lisa IS Quinn; Lisa is the boss, Bro

So people could say "Bye, Felicia" to her during her whole life? man, that's cruel

It IS cruel, because the quote from the movie is literally "Bye, Felisha", so not only does she get a life-long repetition of a stupid quote, it's being assigned incorrectly based merely on the phonetics. That poor girl.

As for Lisa...

Second best girl in Chasing Sunsets. After Jaye The Goddess, of course.

Are you saying it because Lisa is brunette Jaye

Thank you! The only differences that I see between Jaye & Lisa are the hair and eye colors(brown/blue vs. red/green). I'm half wondering if the Crucible stuff didn't start even earlier, and there's a touch of not quite cloning action going on with those two as well.

However, if this Lisa were to slip into a B&R party with her friend, I, uh.. I'd be really glad my main save is the Others path.

Why not? You know it was inevitable! Not a chance that his effort would be wasted. I don't think even a zombie apocalypse could have prevented an NTR post from happening here.

It wasn't meant like that I loved it It was just waaay too fast to be originally intended to me

I don't even get this whole NTR bullshit... knowing you are lurking on a pirated PORN ( game ) site dealing with porn all the time... so WTF is the big deal here ?!? Guess most of those who have this issue missed the target when they decided they would explore the land of porn

Ok, idiot question. When I import saves to a new rig I have all the saves but don't have all the gallery unlocks. What file do I need to transfer over to get the unlocks back?

Your basic saves are merely the game choices you've made. For scenes and render unlocks you need to copy the persistent file from the original saves folder as well.

If for some reason your PC didn't put it into the default game install path, look under %appdata%\RenPy\BaDIK-whateverXYZ for it instead.

being totally honest here, he could very easily increase the quality of his product and/or the speed with which its released if he brought on other talented people to lighten his load. i understand he is likely a control freak and doesnt want other people "messing up" his baby, but pragmatically speaking there is a point where there is just too much work for one man to reasonably do. there is a lot of busywork that he could delegate to other people that would free him up to spend more time on the aspects of the game's production that he enjoys most (i dont care what he says, im 100% sure he doesnt love doing everything single thing in game development, he still does them but im sure there are parts he LOVES doing and the rest he merely TOLERATES doing).

we are currently at like 2 episodes every 12 months and who knows if that timetable will get worse as things move forward. i KNOW he could get these updates out faster with help, and with how much he makes from patron and the steam sales there is no reason to not speed up production if possible (unless he is just milking things without being obvious about it like Milfy City).

its laughable to compare this to the Sistine Chapel, but even Michelangelo had helpers

Michelangelo had helpers because he had deadlines. DPC doesn't have deadlines, so as long as the patrons don't walk out on him, and that doesn't seem likely, he's got a licence to take as long as he wants. Patreon doesn't reward faster work; he has no real incentive to deliver more quickly.

But in spite of that, he's still working 12+ hour a day and (some?) weekends. He's obviously crazy invested in this. It's what he wants to do.

He could put in half the time, release each episode in quarters, and therefore put out each smaller episode every three months, and still be well ahead of the competition.

He could do that, and that would shut up everyone who is complaining about waiting so long. 3+ hours gameplay every three months, sounds like a dream come true.

So why doesn't he just do that?

Because he doesn't fucking want to. It's that simple.

People always complain, but my motto is, "it could always be worse".

Any other developer with DPC's current clout, would not be working as hard as him, and would be releasing a lot less in the same time span, and the game wouldn't be as good.

If you look at mpa71's BigTable™, the evidence is there, while the development time is trending upwards (and he's acknowledged that and is trying to keep that under control), the output is also trending upwards, but at a greater rate.

So he's working his ass off on this project (unlike Milfy City, which was a guy taking money for doing absolutely nothing for years, BaDIK is a guy taking money and working long, long hours, every single day of the week), and he's happy to do it.

He's already spent 3+ years working like this, that's an unbelievable amount of commitment. I'd comfortably assert that no one here on this board (developers or members) works like this guy. There is no game here that provides the quality and quantity of gaming experience within the same time span. All the crowd favourites, while exceptional games in their own rights, deliver a lot less on a similar schedule.

Like I've said before. When the next episode comes out, just play an hour of it every month (more game play than you'll get from the other developers), and you won't even have finished the episode before the next one comes out.

He's never gonna get helpers for this game. There's no point suggesting it.

Great one ! The only thing I would adjust is this...

" So why doesn't he just do that? "

" Because he doesn't fucking want to. It's that simple. " ... And it's none of your business !

" People always complain, but my motto is, "it could always be worse". " ... And whatever he does it would be bad

But to insert ICSTOR in here was a joke right ?

Yeah She lives in an echo chamber. And her statement was such a JFC. I mean the whole world saw her trial, who she think she can fool with this bullshit? . Yeah, beside her own fucking echo chamber.
mountain of evidence ? Bitch, the only mountain was that big dump of Shit you left at Johnny's bed .
and the other fucking bullshit. But Hey, thanks to her, the stupid Metoo movement suffered the biggest blow, she did more harm to the womens than any man would ever be capable. GG Turd. .

Now that this is over, I can go back peacefully drooling over my fictional Waifus.

Yeah i have nothing to add cuz you've added everything in that post, it's like you know the guy personally making all those claims that he works that many hrs and he's busting his ass working and yada yada... hell i might even say you are dpc himself "undercover" here...

 

[Oliver Wendell Homely]

My favorite aspect of DPC's approach to developing the game is that each release is a full episode, with everything that term implies. DPC approaches this like he's the show runner for a hit series on TV. There's a recap, progress on the various storylines, character development, conflict, mini resolutions, plus some laughs and fap material, and then the episode ends in a way that leaves us hungry for the next one. No other game gets released in this format, to my knowledge. Those games' releases are maybe thirty minutes to an hour or, if you're really lucky, a couple hours of additional playtime, and when the release abruptly ends there's just a message saying something like "That's the end of version X.X" or whatever. It's enormously unsatisfying.

The last thing I would want is for DPC to start releasing updates in randomly sized chunks, like other developers. If he started doing that I would probably continue being a patron, but I would stop playing and not resume until the whole thing was done (assuming I live that long).

I've actually just read the interviews. Took them at face value. I've played the game as well as other leading games here. And then I've just used that to come up with simple conclusions.

It's not rocket science. It's called comprehension.

 

[sixart]

But you've got nothing constructive to add, right? You're just one of the whiners.

How could they add something to it ? This whole thing is out of peoples hands there is only one dude that dictates what goes AND how it goes... ( DPC btw ) but if you can't cope with that as a norm you end up like him ( and oh so many others ) that create an alternate reality where they rewrite the laws of physics... and in this case common sense as well

It's not rocket science. It's called comprehension.

Blasphemy !!!
