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

I've been planning and writing dialogue all week. I have tackled two scenes that I think will be among the top five biggest scenes of the episode. The scenes were of both canon and branched nature. I also wrote four other scenes of medium length, also of canon and branched nature.

Right now, I've chosen to focus on canon content to work toward finishing the backbone structure of the episode.

I will return to posing static renders next week. With all that's been written these last couple of weeks, I estimate that I need to pose at least 1000-1300 static renders to catch up with the writing again. I also need to work on a lewd scene soon, but I have to write one before I can do that.

The animation queue still has work for a few more weeks, but I want to beef it up some more. The speed has been very solid lately.

It's been hard to post any previews this month, mainly because of spoiler reasons. Unsurprisingly, it's a very spoilery episode. But I'll try to find something worth posting for you soon.

Thinking it over since yesterday, I actually think this status update is particularly illuminating on one aspect of DPC's thought process. Namely, what they consider to be a spoiler.

As some theorised it does seem that to DPC what they think of as a spoiler is any image of a key scene related to canon events that aren't directly the result of something we've seen in a previous episode. So seeing MGs in a waiting room at a hospital isn't a spoiler because it's directly tied to the ending of last episode, and a sex scene or relationship scene isn't a spoiler because it shows an existing situation you'd expect to happen. However a scene where we were to see Bella and Fuckface arguing/upset etc in her house would currently be a spoiler because it's related to the contents of the room which we haven't seen yet.

Given they've confirmed to mostly have been posing canon scenes the last few weeks (including the end of the episode) we at least know most of the canon scenes will be "new" plot points (or fleshed out details we haven't seen before).

Although this wouldn't necessarily be related to the contents of the room, if they were to argue/be upset, it could be over any number of things. If it were relating to the contents of the room though, it still wouldn't spoil what those contents are, just one of the possible reactions to them.

Yep, I'd argue that a preview of Bella and Fuckface in a argument would be the least spoilery thing we could see. It would weirder for them not to have any arguments, especially on her path.

 

[Darkwen]

Can't stand when someone is coming and throw his own subjective opinion as a dogmatic fact, speaking for everyone.

His fashion skills ended with Josy

trolls going to troll troll troll

 

[Roger-a-Dale]

good try .

Except, Maya whole storyline and existence would be meaningless and pointless.

Her whole storyline is nothing but her having an indecent relationship with Josy what her father disapprove.
If anyone is pointless in the story is Maya. Josy still be the Summer crush of MC, she could still almost go away, giving MC "the one that almost get away ", theme, and when he meet other girls She show up like she did. Hell even Quinn's restaurant would been more personal for MC if it was Josy who Quinn wanted to manipulate in to it.
Nothing would really much change without Maya, hell , we could really be spared to deal with Derek also. and Could have a better BFF, like Sage , or even Tommy and Rusty.

and just think about all the possible different Threesome scenarios with Josy , but sadly she is bound to the :

" I think I'm lesbian until graduation , because I never meet a decent boy, and my reference to guys are my brother and my father "


Damn, Maya not existing is a win-win from every standpoint

Wow. You really can't handle it when other people don't agree with you, can you?

It's a hypothetical fanfic Chip. It's not canon. By definition. Do you complain to other people when they eat food you don't like? No one is forcing you to eat the food or read the fanfic. No one is even asking you to.

If you want to imagine or even write the opposite fanfic where Maya and Derek don't go to B&R, or where Maya and Josy never got together, or never even met, go right ahead. I might even read it.

DPC had to put Josy and Maya together until ep12 because Maya so unlikable. DPC though it would make maya look human and give reason a play her path

Not necessarily. Maya alone by herself is also likable. In a way both Josy and Maya might been work better if they were not a couple , but friends. But DPC wanted to them to be a sligty diferent than Melissa and Megan was ,

Hey don't shit on Maya, she has a sweet personality and cute butt while your girl is being sneaky shrimp

maya from ep8 on is likeable and that scene from the first season when she like hey lets have our own party, but her whining and victim card playing makes her unlikable for me

Im sorry but if 1 render is enough to spoil the story, you know it's a bad story to begin with. Also checking the previews he posted on this episode almost non of them are "canon" the police scene for example can be considered canon because it will happen no matter what, but the rest seem more like based on choices scenes.

I don't think so. The second one is probably canon, since it's obviously the girl waiting in hospital after Derek incident.

This is a flash back that will probably occur in all paths :

And since Sage and Jill became besties in all path, the yoga scene is also probably canon.

in 10 for a scene

You're confusing that being the reasoning with it being good reasoning. That's the way DPC considers it from what it appears to be, and if that's how they want to do it that's their choice.

That may be how you view it, but it seems clear now that DPC does view that as a spoiler because there's a new canon scene where Bella is upset at/with the MC and therefore "spoils" that it'll happen.

This is why I think to them it's entirely "has this been shown before", so DPC having a preview of Bella with James is non-spoiler because we've already established flashbacks of them at this point and that James lived at the house at some point.

No, I said that if they were arguing, it wouldn't have to be because of what was in the room - after you'd said that if a preview showed them arguing/upset, it would be a spoiler because it would be relating to the room's contents. They could argue because of their relationship and someone potentially finding out, or they could argue about not being able to be proper partners because they have to hide it, or they could argue because she caught him getting too handy with Bianca, or they could argue because she wanted to fuck and he wanted to laze in front of the TV, etc...

Fair enough, but honestly I think DPC would still consider that a spoiler because they know what the scene is and in their mind that's enough. If you go back and look at just the Episode 10 & 11 previews, none of them are notable canon events that were new so to speak. About the closest was funnily enough the first preview for Episode 11 which was a completely contextless image of Lana on her knees asking for drugs (a detail we already knew about by then) while the "spoiler" of that sequence would be that Lana acquired those drugs from Quinn's dad.

At best we'll probably get an image of Bella and MC interacting in the library or somewhere else.

Perhaps, or perhaps he doesn't even have anything worth showing so far. The previews is what actually keep people hooked to the game till new update drops.
