VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Razorheadult]

Realistically, why that would be a cause of panic, if he´s not into Maya´s path? Realistically, I don´t get why he still has some kind of relationship with Maya if he´s into other Li path, since Maya cheated on him. I know that Maya has a sexy 3D model, but it´s her only good trait. If he´s not trying to sleep with her, I don´t get why they both are still hanging around together. She´s needy and selfish, not the kind of person that an intelligent guy would choose as a close friend.

The same way I don´t get why Sage cares about Maya´s tuition so much when there are way closer friends of her that are selling drugs and prostituting themselves for paying the tuition. Is she blind? If she doesn´t know about the money problems of girls that she lives with and knows for years, like Quinn, Riona, Sarah and Mel, is because she´s a selfish party girl that only cares about herself. There is not other realistic explanation. That´s what she is barely two months before, at the beginning of the school year, when she only cared about finding who "Chad's bitch" was, and for that purpose manipulated the MC, the only guy that helped her when Chat was being an asshole with her in public, and put him into a potentially dangerous situation with the alphas, without a remorse. But suddenly, she becomes Mother Theresa and the most important thing for her is helping a girl that she knows for just a few days... Does it have any sense? Or it´s just really bad writing and character development?

I love this game and some of the characters, and I think DPC has raw talent and imagination... but he knows shit about creative writing. He´s an amateur in that and make big beginner mistakes, like creating characters with mostly negative traits and pretend that the MC and therefore the player should care about them and feel sympathy for some reason. But I suppose that he could work writing for "Rings of Power" or any modern Disney's movie or TV show

That's huge mate,
Sage was indeed selfish and did not care about others, but I think she is seeing Maya as her redemption for having messed with the other girls. Like "it is too late for the HOTs, but I can save this one...", here it is me who try to bring a bit of logic , because to be fair you had a point
by the way, I would agree with most of you other points, I don't like neither Sage or Maya (only helping her because of Derek and Josy), but sometimes I feel bad for them in the game; so even if the author is bad with his character developments, his story, I mean,that's is kind of immersive .

 

[SomboSteel]

I don't mind personally. If him adding something makes the overall game better then the waits worth it.

Just curious, are you paying him on Patreon or just getting the game for free here?

 

[Darth Sidious]

Here.

Cheers man, saved this old man valuable time

 

[robrize2169]

i absolutely love this game. since i was never a part of a frat when i went to college, this kind of game appeals alot to me. even if some of the story is pretty unrealistic i still enjoy it. my fav girl is Jade. i play Van Halen's Hot for Teacher every time her scenes come up. what a babe. and even better is that she is Tibalts mommy hahaha. love that MC can lord that over Tibbie potentially. that guy is a major scumbag and loved how Jill finally told him off at the end of ep 8.

It´s just that two months ago in the game, when the school year started, Sage wasn´t interested in helping someone, and suddenly she is... I suppose that she was an orphan two months ago too, since that´s the reason DPC gives for Sage wanting to help someone and choosing Maya as his charity project... It´s not "It´s too late for the HOTs so I´m going to forget them and save Maya" since she doesn´t know about the problems of the other HOTs. If she knew, it´s supposed that this Sage wanting to help people around her would have helped her sisters time ago. After all, again, she was an orphan last year and the year before too, when she met Quinn and the others...

I think it´s just that for DPC, at first Sage and the HOTs were just a bunch of clichés, and after a few updates, the game and the story became bigger than DPC himself expected, and he had to give Sage (and also Quinn and the others) a personality. Problem is, the foundations of those characters are really bad. I like Sage (and even Quinn) now, but it´s because I choose to forget how they were during the first season. But Maya is just a bad character now, and then too. She´s just a spineless doll face (she didn´t even had the guts to say the MC the she already was in a relationship) waiting that a white knight, whoever, comes to solve her problems. I understand that Quinn, that is the opposite, a girl that solves her own problems even if that means risking ending up in jail, despises her. She´s beyond redemption as a likable character. But she has a pretty 3D model, that´s true.

with all the writing levity of a porn game: essentially until the breakup with Chad that is Sage's only thought, nothing else.

from that point on she tries to pick up on everything she had neglected (and I would say that as president of the Hots aside from taking a look at Quinn's rigged budgets she has neglected almost everything)

I mean, I don't have the story of the game, I am quite brand new into this kind of games
But I kind of figued out when playing that the characters went from figurative to active players, changing the way they were behaving, mainly the HOTS.
Personnally I like Sarah, Bella and Zoey. I think that if it is possible I will go for Zoey "free spirit" romance, so I will stick to my "other" choice
I played it non stop from the beginning, everything did not stick in my memory, I think I will replay just for fun and to pay attention to back stories a bit more. I will replay and come back with more solid knowledges

On any path MC ruin Tybalt a little (or a lot ) and this may ruin the Maya's chances with Burke (I mean free tuition of course). That's the basic cause of panic (MC realized he may ruined Maya's chances already), all other are just pile up.

What annoyed me a little bit is how overwhelmingly simple it would have been to just tailor the “fucks” to reflect how much he actually had to worry. As far as I know the scenes the same if all you ever did was get with Jill as it is if you’re dating Sage having filmed yourself banging her mother.

Just escalate the fucks a little. Trivial things to implement.

He tried to course correct in the Interlude with having MC show different amounts of distress depending on how many oopsies he made in the save you use. But too little to late for me.

 

[NebulousShooter]

I mean, YOU started it, Isabella

 

[Search History]

The release being estimated for late December or early January just means that I get blue balled to focus on school.

 

[hakuna-matata]

Is it me? Or does Jill progressively looks different from ep 1 to 8? No Goblin jokes. I am being serious.

Goblin is probably the nicest thing you can say about her.

That’s why Jill’s path might be the hardest but I think it’s worthwhile.

The only routes I didn’t even touch were the MILFs, after playing a couple of VNs I feel the MILF path isn’t something I enjoy.

Something bothered me at the end of episode 8 when

and why was he panicking, it’s not like they’re related to him or he’s doing both mother and daughter (didn’t pick that path) unless it’s the same reaction regardless of your choice.



I mean there’s a lost opportunity or intentionally left out was Derek not mentioning to MC that his sister was different and dating a girl. But, then again we wouldn’t have a huge plot twist at the end of episode 3.

Yea, I like how Jill mentioned the dick pic at the end. I'm talking about the library scene when Jill says we're still dating while on the Maya/Josy path which triggers a small dialogue between Maya and Josy about how they feel kind of hurt that MC is still fucking around with other girls. That was awkward lol.

The ending for ep 8 was just a "catch-all" cliffhanger ending meant to make you feel suspense. We actually don't know why he's freaking out like that. You could do any combination of any path and still end up with that scene. It won't change.

I'm pretty sure Maya actually tells the MC at one point. It's before Josy gets to B&R and MC helps Maya with the list. Even then, it's supposed to be a secret and it's Maya's secret. So it wouldn't make sense for Derek to tell him anything, not his business to tell. Derek even says at one point how MC is a good friend but he'd still ultimately choose his sister over him if it came down to it.
What I'm saying is MC already knew about Maya dating a girl. He just didn't know 1. That girl was Josy 2. Josy was still lying about having a boyfriend. (Maya also did say she had a "boyfriend" at an earlier point but that was before she got closer to MC) and 3. Josy's "boyfriend" was actually Maya. I don't think it would've prevented anything if Derek said anything. Derek didn't even know that Tommy was Josy's step-brother so I have no idea how he could've just brought up the exact details of Maya's girlfriend without it sounding hamfisted for MC to make the connection.
Though ... I think Tommy knew about Maya. I think in Ep 2 or 3 when they're having a party in the basement (when you do body shots off of Sarah and Mel) right before then Tommy seems like he's about tell Rusty about Maya like he's familiar with her in relation to Josy but Derek cuts him off.
That could either mean 1. Tommy was just going to say, "Yea, she's this really hot blonde" and Derek got uncomfortable so he brought up that she was his sister or 2. Tommy knew Josy and Maya were going out and was about to say something like, "Yea, she's my stupid step-sister's girlfriend". Derek probably cut him off for the same reason though, he just got uncomfortable about his sister being mentioned at all. Since, I think at that point Derek still didn't know Tommy was Josy's step-brother and wouldn't even imagine Tommy knowing about that relationship. Could be remembering wrong. I'm replaying the game while waiting but only got up to ep 1 because I haven't had time the past few days. Probably reading into it too much but that party scene was also the foreshadowing for Sage being a Burke. So who knows?

 

[allanl9020142]

I think 99% of the playtesting will likely be done while waiting for the animations to render. Those activities don't need to be time exclusive. So adding the playtesting time to after the animation render estimate is not likely accurate.

Possibly. I think the "two weeks for playtesting" usually refers to when he sends it to his beta testers for bugs and proofreading. I don't really see him sending it to anyone for playtesting in an incomplete state.

Then again, I think he has usually saved his own playtesting for after he's done with everything as well so you may be right.

 

[allanl9020142]

Right. This is one of the weird things we will have to face. DPC doesn't make animations as long as it may seem and often uses its own assemblies of vanilla animations and applies its to other scenes. The most obvious example is episode 8, where the animation of the rider's pose was used in as many as 3 scenes (Lily, Envy, Melanie). He will also be able to use this trick to save time.
But the animation rendering time itself causes him and us a lot of pain. If we assume that he will finish working with animation and render production by the end of this month (most likely it will be), only one animation rendering will take the remaining month. And then the question arises: what exactly will DPC do?

I'm not sure how you got that estimate for the animations. I think he said he still had 40 left and possibly up to 40 more after that. Last week he finished rendering 9 animations. I'm sure that render rate isn't static and may rise as there's less and less to render but I don't think he's going to be finishing rendering up to 80 animations (and posing up to 40) in just two weeks and some change.
If the render rate stays the same (and this is just for animations, not to mention static renders):
At best it'd be 4 to 5 weeks assuming that no further animations are added to the queue
At worst it'd be 8 to 9 weeks assuming that a total of 80 animations will need rendering
Absolutely nightmarish would be DPC deciding to add even MORE animations
If the render rate increases then we can knock off a few weeks here and there. God forbid it slows down, then we're adding a few more weeks to that base estimate.
If he were to finish rendering animations in two weeks, then he'd need to average 20/week if it's just 40 and 40/week if the final count left is 80.

Its my favorite game really its awesome!

is there any way to add money in this game, some code?

Three ways:

1) Use a

You must be registered to see the links

2) Use a Mod (eg. SanchoMod)
3) Use the config console (the money is stored under the name - what a coincidence - money)

Using a mod only works when it's been updated after a game update, DPC put some bombs in the code to distract using mods, the modders remove them but it takes time. If you have questions using mods, aks the modder themself.

 

[Gh0st_Harambe]

is there any way to add money in this game, some code?

Use unren to activate the console, extract the rar and paste the file in being a dik/game and open it, select option 3.
When you are in the game press shift+o and type: money=5 and press enter.

 

[felicemastronzo]

Yeah, that's probably DPC's intention, and it would be a good idea if it were well written. The problem is that Sage has been neglecting her sorority for at least two years, maybe more. Probably even before starting dating Chad... The problems of her sorority aren't coming from the past two months in the game... DPC made the problems of the HOTs too hardcore because he's a sucker for drama, and that forced him to make Sage too stupid, or blind and selfish, because she has to be really stupid or self-centered to not to notice all that is rotten into the HOTs. It´s so big that it only took a few days to Lily to figure out everything... So when we see that Sage is not stupid at all, and that she actually cares for the MC and other people, she seems to be a totally different person from the one she was just two months ago in the game. Bad character development.

The same goes for the HOTs that apparently aren't into Quinn's business. Elena, for example, seems to be an intelligent person. Didn't she really notice all that is happening into the HOTs? Prostitution, drugs... And you can say that maybe she knows something, but she thinks that it´s not her business so she doesn't say anything... But when the shit hits the fan, she's going to be there too...

At the end of the day, this is only a porn game, for sure. But I think that we all agree that it's at a different level from most of porn games, so I think that we can expect more from DPC´s writing than from other developers of porn games. If it were just a fap game with a silly story, I would not spend a second thinking in the characters, I would only look at the boobs.

I don't think Sage has always neglected her duties as HOTs, my guess is that she loses her mind when she begins to suspect Chad's betrayal, so it's a relatively recent occurrence

difficult however for a non-witness to a particular event (such as the scene with Burke at the Preps) to understand anything about Quinn's dirty dealings
that the girls are screwing around and Quinn's position of dominance is not particularly suspect

you are right that it is not at all believable, and unfortunately her attitude has not changed to date, that Sage continues to blindly trust Quinn, who has virtually disregarded every direct request of hers and yet is still fully her right-hand man.

but if it's no problem for MC to plan the Halloween party with the evil Quinn either (even though he's in a relationship with Maya, he warned her about what Quinn does...) then it can only be porn
