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

[Darkdevil66]

ok have to play that again... if its the same camera angle like on the phone, than its obviously the same vid. But i think the angle of the vid that Stephen watches is way higher and not possible to do with the phone in hand. But yeah, i will replay that...

No need.

Yes, Josy is sweating. Nevertheless, her skin tone is much lighter than later. Sweating does not make the skin darker, but rather lighter, because the little light would be reflected even more.

In my example, the sweater makes it clear that Josy has two faces. These two images are one and the same scene with two different Josys. One lighter Josy and one darker Josy. Ergo, it was decided that we see either the lighter Josy or the darker Josy.

The same thing happens in the whole sex scene of EP7 that you show us. The MC can fuck Josy whether he is in the throuple relationship or not. Ergo, the decision of EP4 is important because the MC either fucks the Josy from the friendship path or the one from the throuple. Since there is one and the same scene for both paths, DPC took the trouble to give us some clues. That we can have Josy in two different paths and alternate between the light and dark Josy during the sex scene.

To make it more understandable for you, here are two more pictures. Picture 1 shows a normal light Josy and picture 2 shows us an artificially tanned Josy. Now I don't want to start talking about exposure, sweating or anything like that, because Josy's legs are right next to each other and exposed to the same light coming from above, as you can see from the reflections of the legs. So there would be approximately the same shadow as well.

DPC has left itself or us a clue as to what game decisions can do when it comes to relationships.

Light Josy = group of three
Dark Josy = solo or friendship path.

And these two different paths also have different effects, which could result in a Crabs infested Josy because the MC is only friends with her and thus there is then no NTR.

Josy could just be bad at tanning and still have the most beautiful legs I must point out that in photo two Josy's right leg is much darker then the left leg so based on what you said both legs should be the same but there not. I only have Josy relationship paths not a friends path so I don't how this scene would look as just friends but you can't fuck on friends path just kiss or I'm I wrong on that

 

[allanl9020142]

Mid-October sounds more reasonable, really hope I'm wrong though, september would be awesome.

I'm good as long it's not anything later than October. Knock on wood.

 

[cheesetriangles]

I'm afraid that the Dik's actually got their laptop hacked when they downloaded pirated video games. The moral will be about pirating adult visual novels which I think is a bit heavy handed of DPC but that's the story he wants to write I guess.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

This looks familiar, doesn't it? Very familiar!

 

[Darkwen]

I have never played the friend path either. But the picture with the different leg color of Josy exists only once. There is no other picture except that. Therefore I assume that it is a hint from DPC, because DPC would not tolerate such a mistake from itself. It is also impossible that such a mistake would be overlooked by DPC or its beta testers, because it is simply too obvious to be overlooked.

If it is a hint why would she just haft tan that almost as bad as haft ass

 

[OFT]

I like so many of the poses in BaDIK, even many of the goofy ones. But these two look like they're posing for a damned men's clothing catalog:





It baffles me how DPC thought this was a good look. Who stands like that? As a test to make sure it wasn't just me, I stood like this for a second before I walked out the door to go to work, and my wife threw her coffee mug at me.

I'm torn between praying he doesn't use this stupid pose again, or praying that he gives us Tybalt and Dawe versions so I can put up a whole line of fake fashion posters around campus.

Hello there!
I have seen the fraternity house in several other games, sometimes only the interior, these assets get reused all the time!

Well, I wouldn't mind a release in mid-end-september. So I got to play it around mid-october right after my birthday.
I got an internship starting late september till 14th october (with no pc, only phone).
Got a week holiday after that and can play till I look like Randy Marsh.

Hello colleague from the Witcher workshop! Yes, it seems that many aspiring developers steal from PinkCake, it's not surprising, he is at the top of Olympus in this genre.

Damn, in your former post when you said that I was actually wondering how I fucked things up by not seeing this. Was in the friendship path in my last playthrough, as a DIK though, but while there were tense, affectionate moments (and an awkward kiss at the HOTs party after I sent the Alpha away), there are no situation where we can have sex with her. There are more scenes with Josy than Maya, though, or perhaps it had something to do with their RP (even on a DIK path, I'm a sucker for Josy, so yeah). I'm actually doing Episode 4 and even had a walkthrough with me to try to see if I forgot something or whatever...

But I confirm you that on a friendship path (played as a DIK, though, important to note), there's no sex scene available.

After last week's big report, I haven't got much to add this week.

I've been writing and working on static renders for a couple of tricky scenes with many characters in them. I'm closing in on 3000 renders, and it should be another day or two before I hit that milestone.

I'm currently working on the last free-roam event of the episode. I thought that it wouldn't be the biggest free-roam event of the episode, but comparing the writing to the current biggest one (>1000 renders), they are of similar size. Meaning I'm expecting ~1000 renders in this free-roam event as well, and I'm roughly 200 renders into it.

After I'm done with that event, I have other scenes here and there to make, including lewd scenes, but most of the remaining artwork lies within the free roam event I'm working on.

PC slaves are all rendering animations. 20 animations are in the queue, meaning 6 have been produced since last Friday. This speed is below standard speed because the animations are threesome animations and require a longer time to render.

Since I still have time before I need to make new animations for the render queue, I will continue with static renders next week. I've reached some parts of the episode that I'm particularly excited about creating.

Have a nice weekend

We all knew last week's numerical bonanza was too good to last, but we actually got more than I was expecting this week. We know DPC completed 6 animations, and he was even kind enough clarify these were unusually slow to render. We didn't get a static render count, but we're told it should exceed 3000 in the next day or two. That means he will have completed at least 306 renders in 8 or 9 days, which suggests a minimum render rate on the order of 34-38 statics per day. So he should be somewhere in the vicinity of 2947 statics right now. If we plug those numbers back into the Bat computer, DPC's average output over the last week was around 252 statics and 6 animations. Overall he's currently averaging ~134 statics and 8.4 animations per week since the Interlude released. Here are the charts:

Spoiler: New Week, New Charts, Hooray!

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

The charts are pretty consistent with last week. On the static front, the news is slightly rosier; the uptick is slight, but DPC is rendering them a bit faster than his previous above-overall-average pace. Of course they weren't the bottleneck and on the animation front the render rate actually got a bit worse. In theory that slow down is only temporary, but we don't know how many of the remaining animations might be sexy threesomes, so it's hard to say how temporary it will prove. And even if the animation rate doubled to 12/week starting now, it would still take until mid-October before DPC hit the ~300 animations he's expecting to end up with.

To me that suggests we're still looking at a likely November release - early or late depending on just how how extensively the MC will bang two girls at once (so I'll be doubly disappointed if one of them turns out to be Madame!). If DPC keeps giving us numbers we can see how the situation improves as we approach the fall. If he goes back to non-quantitative updates, we'll just have to plan for a long delay and hope we get a pleasant surprise.

Man, today I decided I want a playthrough where MC is not a manwhore and can get together with Zoey again without any drama. So I made a new playthrough, trying not to fuck any girl, but being nice to all of them. It is surprisingly hard to play this game without "accidentally" boinking one of these ridiculously sexy specimens. At the HOT party I had to turn down 3 of them asking if I wanna fuck. Feels weird to play the game like this.

It's also that during this Pt I finally realized what the story is with Melanie/Sarah and Sage. I think the 2 sluts knew Chad long before, and also knew he's gay. They possibly played a role in setting up Sage as his beard. That's why they feel guilty about the whole thing. And that also means, that if you tell Sage about it she will eventually figure it out, which will be bad for Melanie and Sarah. That's drama for future episodes waiting to be played out.

You ever think it's when he doesn't give a lot of numbers it's because he's definitely thinking it's going to be later than Halloween?

Thank you, so... yeah this is odd, the vid was on the laptop AFTER the Cathy cluck.

Hm dont know if Nick or vinny are able to do that after the cathy cluck, because Rusty did secure the laptop after that, this shows a different side to all that (bugs me a little that i missed that, cause.. man i made so many playthroughs, but maybe i just did forget that after such a long time). Imagine Rusty was the one delivering it to Burke, even Tommy would be tough, cause... okay he is an asshole, but undermining the DIKs? Uff...

Well, we have to wait until DPC will show us how the Vid got in the hands of Burke...

and yeah i dont think Jade knows oft that... so she might be unaware about how deep Stephen Burke is involved in everything regarding the frats and sorority and the sex against sholarship...

But... we will have to wait a long long time until this unfolds... maybe until Season 4.

Well... i played many VNs here, the DIK house (at least from the outside) is pretty much in every third VN to be seen... so the outfits of the MC, the dorm room furnitures, many other outfits and jewelry or the inside of the classrooms and college overall... and yeah the prep house i have seen many times too, in and outside. DPC is doing many things from the scratch, but most things are just like that in DAZ3d, but thats fine by me... doesnt bother me one bit.

So that my save from Zoey is not so short I will play with this first

 

[AchedCroissant]

Avoiding Sarah and Melanie because of their links to Chad?

They are in Quinn's save

 

[ename144]

Idea for thought. Where is B&R located? The game world has San Diego, Texas, and Australia. Geographically, it is identical to our world.
Several conclusions can be drawn:
1.At the end of the eighth episode, approximately the middle of October - we see that people began to dress warmer, the leaves on the trees turned yellow and fall. This is a temperate climate zone, so definitely not the southern states.
2. Zoey traveled to San Diego and back by train. I guess the distance isn't very far - who in their right mind would travel to the East Coast by train and not by plane? So the East Coast is crossed out.
3. The MC house is located next to the B&R - you can quickly get there by car.
In some scenes (Jade's invitation) you can see city lights and skyscrapers - well, this is definitely not Montana
4. MC said that it is cold in winter, the wind blows through the cracks.
I think B&R is on northern-east from California. Probably Seattle or somewhere in Oregon, or Minnesota.
Ideas, theories?

I don't think B&R is meant to be in any specific location, it's just generally 'in America." If I had to guess I'd say it's somewhere in the mid-west since it's implied to be a good distance from both New York and San Diego, there are no mountains in sight, and no one has made any reference to a coastline nearby.

So many times it was questioned why the MC freaked so out at the end with "fuck fuck fuck fuck..." if you not pursue Jade, whats the big deal? Well come on, even the not fully aware MC knows, the Burkes mean bad business... Tybalt alone is a porblem big enough to freak out... seaking out for help from Tybalts family... yeah... thats a damn "fuck" in the making. Jade here or there. There is know way this will go smooth and Maya is happy without any problems... the MC is imediatly aware of that when he sees the pictures of course its a pretty damn big "fuck"

Absolutely no one in the game had ever given the slightest fuck about Tybalt (literal or metaphorical) other than Tybalt himself. I don't see why the MC should suddenly be terrified of him at the end of Episode 8. He certainly wasn't worried about what might happen to Jill when she defied Tybalt's ultimatum in the bluntest manner possible. Why would he be worried what Tybie could about Maya in this far more tangential case?

You ever think it's when he doesn't give a lot of numbers it's because he's definitely thinking it's going to be later than Halloween?

No, at least not directly. DPC has been omitting the numbers long before even he could be certain how long the episode would take to finish. Hell, he started getting vague back towards the end of Episode 7's development.
