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

[Roger-a-Dale]

we've made it through the first half of 2025.
if episode 12 comes in march 2026, then everything is fine, unless you're hungry for GTA 6.

Actually, we are still three weeks short. Half a year is early July, not June.

And even expecting ep 12 in the same 15 months ep 11 took is optimistic. The much more realistic 18 months would be September 2026.

GTA6 for sure, but mostly Witcher 4.

I don't think The Witcher 4 will come before 2027

GTA6 for sure, but mostly Witcher 4.

I'd rather play BaD S3 or another AVN to be honest, unless the AAA game I want to play is released on Game Pass.
Ever since I've gotten Game Pass, I never paid more than € 40 for a game I wanted to play, and even that was a rarity. I'd rather spend the money for € 7,50 to € 15 a piece (mostly, BaD3 would probably be around 20, which I'd happily spend) on AVNs.

Worse! A bored bean counter who is right about something!

I'm not saying you're not right, but be a little flexible. Who cares about 3 weeks.

Imagine being a hardcore Riona fan and have to wait 33 months for a decent scene.

Yeh, I know.
Nor do I plan to pre-order either. This is afterall CDPR.

Normally I'd agree.
But I've already come to terms with the fact, I won't be sticking around long enough to see the end of this. But hopefully long enough to learn WTF is Bella's secret closet is all about. Beyond that, I don't think I could be made to care that much for the rest.

Imo her sexscene in episode 10 during the BBQ was pretty pretty good. Will that already be 33 months when episode 12 is released?

Not even a Bianca lewd scene ?

She wanted to save the surprise for Christmas morning

 

[funkymonkeyjedi]

Fact DPC only introduced her as a semi-viable option in episodes passed the half way mark of the game, makes it very unlikely that you'll get any lewdness from her so soon. Maybe in ep13 but I very much doubt it'll happen in ep12. If he does make her available so soon, I think it will only show that he's starting to rush the side girls' story. Which never ends well IMO

 

[Cabin Fever]

And honestly, there's no need to be. Being engaged constantly made sense when the updates were coming quicker. The longer it takes for a game to update, the less need or want there is to be constantly engaged with it. Same goes for novel series, TV series, comics, movies, etc.

And thats totally fine.

The idea that you gotta be engaged all the time or its somehow a stain on the product or means the product is dying is really kinda silly.

Unfortunately that concept is lost on many of the "me me me it's all about me and what I want when I want it" generation.

I'd be more inclined to agree if we didn't get to play with her ass at the panty party

A scene with Cinderella would be rushed but Bianca ? They reached the point where she asked for his number after admitting she has been touching herself while thinking of him. It wouldn't be rushed to seal the deal next episode.

Imo it's quite realistically possible for Bianca to become a side girl, looking at some other late-introductions to the dating/sex mechanic:

- Elena's scene pretty much was imo at a minimum level hinted at during the Dorm Room party with the spit-shot, and didn't become a more realistic possibilty until ep 10.
- Even though Zoey was introduced near the beginning as a persona in a flashback, she didn't really became a possible date/romancable character until ep 10. (unless you count the question to have her over to sleep after halloween in ep 9 as "possibly romancable")
- Cinderella wasn't introduced until ep 9.

And there are a couple more examples. Bianca was introduced in season 2 and can heavily be flirted with since episode 9.

And that to you doesn't feel like he's rushing her story?
One of Jill's so called best friends with whom she's known since Jill's early teens?
As if Bianca doesn't care for Jill to betray her by luring Jill's first love for her own gain?

That simply doesn't pass the smell test if you ask me.
It smells more like a rush job.

It's barely talked about, how is that expressed? If you're talking about this place, then you don't follow the thread, it's still the most active place on F95 with 10 new pages every new day, (the thread is empty - I meant no one discusses the status update because it's not informative) but for some reason you decided that I meant that the game is dead, although that's not what I wanted to say.
You can see Roger's post about this, and it's true:


So it's wrong, as Roger said, game is discussed.


Don't know about his Discord, fun unoficcial D&H is full of life. Fan-art thread is alive than ever. Creating art is another indicator that the game is alive, moreover, you post the works yourself.
I can't agree about Season 3. It became deeper, more serious, with an emphasis on the characters, the development of personal relationships and their story arcs. My subjective evaluation criterion puts Episodes 10-11 at the top, close to the best 7-8 episodes. The game changed the theme a little to the dark side, as he warned. Overall, I prefer Season 3 as more serious, compared to the 1-2, but I wish it was faster. Moreover, Season 3 starting to answer questions, not creating the new ones.

All I said was that I see the first signs of the game fading, though it's probably all too subjective.
Maybe it's just hard for me to imagine that people will still be here when episodes 13 or 14 come out.

In my opinion DPC does a poor job of combining humor, fun and student carefree life in the form of parties and the dark tone of the last few episodes.
The drama looks like farce sometimes or over exaggerated, like Sage, who we know as a strong girl who became an alcoholic because of her parents' divorce. Or for some inexplicable reason MC has kept a secret about Jade for so many episodes.... it's annoying as hell.
Anyway I'm happy for you and for others if you still enjoy the game and have the energy to follow the game.

CDPR is one of the few developers where I would blindly pre-order. Sure Cyberpunk had a bad start, but they have shown that they stand behind their games.

As for Bella's secret room, I have my own theory.
Maybe it's a child's room, but Bella lost her child. That could also be a reason why her husband is no longer with her.
