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

[Alphaeboy]

I don’t recall this, what episode was it in before it was removed? Sage banged a guy after Chad or something? When would that have been possible? Or was it the time Tremolo referred to himself as a rebound guy?

No Tremolo had a Rebound guy talk with her in ep.7 while she visited at the DIK's after getting better from being sick. He pretty much said he wanted to be more to her than that and she just left. Some people felt like it was forced but to me it wasn't if you really think about it or played the game many times.

What does it take to be a stockholder and buy dips on DPC? More stock = art novel expansionism
I mean, there is there even a budget allocated to develop game and market? Wondering if do AAA videogames actually cost this much to make and advertise?

Triple AAA games cost hundreds of millions, and that's just for development. Red dead redemption 2 for example, cost rockstar about 540 million dollars.

Seventh chapter, when MC suddenly decided i doesn't want to be Sage's rebound guy, Sage reassured him that she want to wait for him, and after doesn't wait more than 2 minutes.
Next chapter threesome with Quinn...

Oh, yeah, I remember that causing quite a tiff in the thread but I never remember having an issue with that part, myself, and it doesn’t sound super forced given Sage’s character in general. Plus the threesome is avoidable, anyway, and Trem saying it doesn’t derail anything too majorly in any case. You can still get together officially at the end of 8 and have meaningful talks that explain why she felt that way beforehand

Honestly this thread could use a chill-pill on occasion

If u count the interlude witch every episode has, rn is like 7 months in development for episode 9 and we got 2000+ renders or so.

It wasn't executed well but it still needed to happen. Don't forget there are time jumps in the episodes themselves. It might be a short time for you but it isn't for the characters.

At the HOTs party the time between Sage's promise to wait and her kiss that breaks this waiting is the same for us and for the characters...e

Jill isn't popular here and we know it

Nah, Jill is very popular at f95 too: DIK Lounge; BaDIK Poll

Sage has a convincing lead in the big

originally posted a year ago, but Jill still makes 2nd.

Jill might not win a popularity contest with the current crop of regular posters, they just aren't much of a reflection of the broader f95 sentiment apparently.

I can't be the only one to remembers that prior to the release of v0.1, Josy was the runaway favorite. She only plummeted down to the bottom because of her supposed "boyfriend" and almost everybody bailed on her.

Of those who post more or less regularly, I think only Meushi can remember something like that!

Actually Meushi's first post in this thread was AFTER the v0.3 release, so he might not even have been around from pre-v0.1.

Au contraire, I followed BaDIK from the start, after DPC started talking about it in the AL thread. Back when it was still a development thread.

I was just a lurker back then though, so there's no sign of me there or in the BaDIK thread before 0.2.

I don't remember Josy's popularity crashing after the boyfriend reveal. A few noped out (no cheaters), but not a wipe-out like when the Maya relationship emerged. But it's so long ago I may have simply forgotten what the vibe of the thread was back then.

For example, the rebound guy with Sage. It is not something natural in the story, it is suddenly inserted, it created controversy, and then by the next chapter it had completely disappeared

Actually, it had completely disappeared right after the very next scene, between MC and Sage
But, I actually liked that quick resolution , some folks just made too much of deal about virtually nothing.
It's seems to me DPC aware of his craft, and what is the common tropes in entertainment, most of the Drama in shows and movies , is always comes from lack of communication, characters simply not talking with each others. And He himself use this as the standard tool too. So it was surprising in a very good way, how simply he resolved that one small issue between MC and Sage. Same way, one of my favorite scene, is the " Rejection " of Sage and how mature the whole conversation was ,as Sage pointing out, how more people should simply be more open and honest about their feelings, and simply just have the goddamn conversation, could solve so many thing.

I didn't even feel the drama, it wasn't plausible for MC to leave Sage, and it didn't even serve to strengthen their relationship. It was a parenthesis in the story in theory important but in fact completely irrelevant

So much so that the 'no fuck Buddy' route that starts directly in chapter seven seems better than the full route

For me, the problem is that Jill has the highest ration of outright bad and ugly renders. I like the way the character is written, I know her naïvety frustrated some people, and the Tybalt blackmail and picnic break up annoyed people (it is a bit silly) But I found that naivety led to a really hot sex scene and should lead to some fun (minor) corruption going forward, like getting Maya into risky sex.

For me I’d say my favourite is Bella, but on any given day the others have their moments. Probably Bella>Sage>Riona=Quinn>Maya=Josy>Jill>Camilla>The Rest. But give me a hot scene and some bad renders and that list could change quite a lot

Just for fun,
why is everyone banned from DPC's Discord/Patreon who shares preview pictures and only mentions F95 but at the same time has a moderator/admin on their discord who posts things here?

Just because N7 is a mod here too?
I just can't make sense of this logic. Ok he doesn't want to lose money or supporters, sure I can understand that. But why is he allowing N7 to post "stuff" here? I mean he doesn't need any more advertising. He's well known around here, isn't he?


Don't get me wrong I don't mean to offend anyone or anything I just don't get it.
Isn't that a bit of a double standard?

Don't know if this has already been discussed here.

Cheers

Why would you ping the God N7? If I were you I wouldn't do that.

To answer your question, in short, they understand this site still garners views and possible patrons.
AFAIK, they only ban the "previews" if it comes from the higher-tier patrons. They only share the lower-ones.

Case in point, the Nicole preview was for the $30 patrons only.
So, the God N7 didn't post it here.
A hero just leaked it.

Sorry, im not into God-complex stuff . And no its not my first time. I pinged him so he may can give me/us an prober reply and not some "I belive that's why" stuf, eh?

Okay, sure I get that point, but it's still a double standard. He punishes the people who pay him, but he still has close ties and mutual understanding with F95 in the form of N7. Because N7 is a mod, is he a better "influencer" for his previews than regular users? I don't get that logic but hey i don't judge

My advice would be to not pull at this thread.

Sage's fuck buddy route is actually the same as Zoey's in Interlude, and Tremolo himself has thought that friendship could turn into love.

However, only Tremolo has the problem that he fell in love faster than Zoey. A fuck buddy Sage could quickly turn into a second Zoey.

But there is a big difference. Zoey and MC's relationship is effectively broken, now Zoey has realised how much she cared, we will see how mc reacts, but it all starts with Zoey.

In contrast, the relationship between mc and Sage never broke off, and when there would be no more obstacles mc has a strange crisis of conscience that in fact leads to nothing. What Sage tells him in his room is not so different from what she tells him afterwards, a crisis that leads nowhere

Yup...the dead mom story for the win. Madam will be all over MC like a love-sick puppy.

Why? I'm just asking a question to understand. If I asked DPC on Patreon I would get banned, so this is actually the perfect place to ask. I don't know about you, but curiosity isn't always a bad thing. As already said, I don't want to harm anyone in any way, I want to understand.

Ain't gonna lie, this is the best thing i ever played. Absolutely fucking amazing
