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

[Tumai]

Speaking of Zoey, I hope Dr.PinkCake allows us to skip the interlude for subsequent play throughs if we've already played it at least once when Ep. 9 comes out.

I've played it once and enjoyed it well enough (as well as getting all the render and scene unlocks obv) but I've got another 6 save paths waiting and doing "hometown blindness" 7 times is going to be a drag even with the fast forward function. Letting us have the option to just checkbox the only 2 pertinent things (Is Zoey DIK or CHIK, is she still friends with her surfer buddy or no) and jump straight to where dad calls MC would be a boon.

You can skip it already.

This week I continued and finished all artwork for the lewd scene I mentioned last week.

After that, I decided to continue working on lewd scenes, as I have a number of them left.
I started work on what I believe will be one of the most demanding lewd scenes of the episode regarding manual work.

I started with designing the environment for it - it was one of the remaining environments I didn't prepare for the episode until now - and I have just started animating the scene and posing static renders for it.

It will feel good to have this lewd scene completed eventually, and I estimate that it will take me ~1-2 weeks to finish posing its artwork.
After it is done, I will continue making art for one of the free roam events of the episode.

I'll try to find a preview to post soon. Even with 1939 static renders (Close to that 2000 limit that always feel so good to pass), finding something that doesn't spoil is tricky.

Have a nice weekend

You heard it here first..... All the DiKs gangbang Jill at her mansion while her parents are away.

This thread wrongly have "female protagonist" tag, pls remove.

The quoted post was posted by someone without knowing anything of the game, please play game and rethink.

Jill, is a perfectionist, so its not even out of realism , that she might want to learn how to give the perfect blowjob. .
Remember how stressed she was , because her piano play was not perfect, and the creator who composed it, could notice it, even though he is dead by 100 years now ?!.

This is now, MC's Girlfriend , just saying

Ummm creepy much....? So, MC has to blow Troy in front of Jill to show her how to give a blowjob?

 

[DrSoong]

I mean sure, you could cram all the answers into the last couple episodes, but they'd feel unbelievably rushed. Just look at how trying to synch up the Fuck Buddy/friend approaches to the crossroad mangled Sage's path in Episode 7 and 8. Proper closure for the many open mysteries requires not only the answers to the questions, but also the context to make the answers matter and the time to reflect on the importance of the questions. If DPC leaves everything for the last minute it will implode and take a good chunk of the game with it.

Agree, it would bad style to sum all up until the end, it would be better DPC gives us constant answers as he always gives us new riddles. Even a last minute reveal would left some things open, if the amount of open questions is to high it could be possible that DPC forget about some and they would never be closed (unless the story experts in this thread tell him about that).

I really wonder what kind of scene it is for which you need to create an environment for 2 weeks. This will most likely be off-campus, since the entire campus environment has already been created. Is this a date scene with LI? Or the scene with Zoey? House of Burke?
It looks like Pink pays a lot of attention to animation, he does it a lot judging by the preview.

I think in the future all the girls will be available again, that is, we are waiting for the second "Сrossroads". Another question is how it will be implemented. Even Jill may become possible for Dik in the future, maybe by the end of the game, but she will be available.

This will be shown two chapters from now. Jill, in trying to get MCs attention, talks to Arieth and (dumb as she is) Jill gets passed around between the DiKs. Including photos.

So basically, 10 months after the last useful release (Ep.8).

 

[Tumai]

Not great that he took the exact same amount of time making Interlude as he did EP3, even though EP3 has almost 3 times the amount of renders and animations and he has a much better hardware setup now than in 2019.

As others have said, probably an October release to have the Halloween party coincide with actual Halloween.

Coming out in September will be a win. It's not long to wait - 2, 5 months.

Ummm creepy much....? So, MC has to blow Troy in front of Jill to show her how to give a blowjob?

This sounded better in your head didn't it ?!

 

[horusxcaen82]

From what I've heard it's more like they die from alcohol poisoning and doing stupid shit

You ever think Tommy reminds you of that one kid from Rockstar's Bully game?

its been forever since I played Bully if I am honest, and the reason I bring up BMS is that the main character reminds me a lot of Tremolo and he has a friend that acts similar to Derek in the show so thats where I drew the comparisons, but its like from the POV of the Alphas instead of the DIKs

After EP8 DPC had some other things to to (there are several posts in this thread), this things (Steam, ...) took some time. Now that he has focused on the next EP, he is on fire to get it as he has it in his head. We can't do anything than wait, discuss possible future stories (also based on the passed ones) and have the best time during release of EP9.

Should MС have passive sex with Chad to show Jill what it's like to have anal sex

Quick update, stills have fallen behind all of the season 2 episodes, but should cross the episode 5 total of 2456 in a couple of weeks. Average continue to be much lower than episode 8 which had an average of 148.5 by the time the beta started around week 28. Episode nine has an average of 114 currently.



At week 17 the average for episode 8 was 134.7 and the episode 7 average at the same time was 206.2

Development is well behind pace.
