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

[theillusionxo]

One thing worth noting, it you're hoping to play the game with a heavier emphasis on romance over sex, is that the game features an alignment system that divides between DIKs and CHICKs. Major choices will tell you outright which way they lead, while smaller ones won't, but as a general guide DIK choices are typically more aggressive/assertive: checking out girls, insulting people, getting in fights, etc. Basically, if it seems like something a frat dude would do, it's probably a DIK choice. CHICK choices are the opposite.

Not every choice affects this alignment, and you can mix and match to your own personal desires, but by and large if you want a more romantic experience CHICK is the way to go. Different girls will react to you based on which one you align with, so it's best to give the game multiple playthroughs if you want the best experience, but most of the main girls - the ones with the most content and broadly the most romantic stories - prefer a CHICK MC.

I don't think you'll run into any issues, since if you're hoping to play a more soft-hearted romantic character you'll probably naturally be inclined towards CHICK play, but if you ever find yourself wanting to woo a girl and she just doesn't seem into you that will probably be why. Hope you enjoy the game!

Thanks for the information appreciate you

Dang was hoping Quinn was part of the main girls. All good with the others though.
I'm going to try a Bella run next right now doing Sage.

If it helps, Quinn has by far the most content out of the side girls - a lot of people believe she will be promoted to main girl status soon enough, since she's both integral to the story and prominently featured in the game's marketing. You'll want to lean very heavily on the DIK alignment if you want to win her over though, since she's pretty prickly at first.

Doing Sage is very important. And so is doing Bella.

I'd say it's more that the SGs need to be divided to further groups. The lines are fairly clear, but we haven't managed to coin decent labels.

Quinn is most definitely a significant character well worth a dedicated run, but she isn't on the level of attention the MGs get. On the other hand quite a few SGs will never get to Quinn's level. So there should be a group in between.

wake up bitches, its time for a game again, today once again I spent unhealthy amount of time to entertain the strangers on the Internet, title says it all Build Your Harem With a 15 dollar Budget, the only rule is you must chose 5 girls, not more or less. I'm sure its gonna be hard to chose between all these beauties, take your time and chose wisely

Sage- Nora-Sarah- Heather-Cathy
Yes, I'm a boobs guy (except Sarah, who has an inspiring face and attitude)

 

[FalconLover420]

Main Girls: Bella, Sage, Jill, Maya and Josy.

Side Girls with whom the mood gets romantic: Quinn, Lily, Riona and Nicole.

Some other SGs have the mood but very little content and some have content but not the mood.

I hope the other side girls get the mood going, PLEASE DPC ADD TARA ROMANTIC MOOD.

 

[Darkwen]

Maya would never

Maya hella slut

I'd count Tara as having a good mood but not much content.

Jill, Sage, Lily, Ashley, Becky.

Strategy is I actually like the characters, but more importantly. Jill gets you access to Bella, Sage gets you access to her mom, Lily gets you access to Quinn and the rest of the women at the strip club. So I got that going for me!

Maya hella slut

Only for MC

 

[legend_shon]

I have at least seven more lewd scenes to create for the episode, plenty of branched content to plan, write and create, and a big free roam event left to create in its entirety.

Its nice to hear the end goal, even its 8 mo or a year of waiting is further

I'm currently focusing on building a larger render queue with animations. And it's a battle because the PCs have gotten faster with the upgrades.

What? What does he mean by the battle?

 

[mangosok]

Quitting job (assuming it actually did happen) happened years ago. It was one of his funding goals (make me ern this much per month and I'll quit my regular job and work full time on game).
My post was sarcastic, because when you calculate hours and divide it with renders, codes etc it turns out he's slacking it like hell. Snail is moving at higher speeds. Literally.
"Burning out" is "legitimate" in all kinds of "creativity" business, but then you come clean and say "this is the thing, I need few months of break etc" you stop billing and you come back refreshed and rejuvenated. You don't go into "milking" mode.

Well, If people are tired of waiting, they can simply stop donating. That’s a pretty clear way to show they’ve had enough waiting.

As always with DPC, Chapter 12 will be the season finale—the fourth chapter of each season is always the last.

No kidding Sherlock. How did you figure that out? I mean, someone who's been around since his first game like me wouldn't already know that, right?

These finales are typically the most demanding, requiring significantly more work: more content, more programming, more animations, and more dialogue. I was hoping for a release around February-March 2026, but it's looking like we might not see Chapter 12 until mid-2026. I hope I'm wrong about that.

But this is where you are wrong. It's not the last chapter of a season that's the most demanding for DPC. It's always "the next chapter" that's the most demanding, as evidenced by the never-ending quantity increase of each chapter.

I was hoping for a release around February-March 2026, but it's looking like we might not see Chapter 12 until mid-2026. I hope I'm wrong about that.

Don't hold your breath, my friend. That's my advice.

We are only 7 months in. A little more than half a year is not almost a year.

We got another 3 to 4 months to go before it's "almost a year in".

You sirs, are correct. My bad. For some reason I had a brain fart and thought the last one came out around Xmas. My last two remaining brain cells are starting to fail me too...

Seeing as the episode events take place just before Xmas it's completely understandable that one's brain would fart that the episode came out then.

KaiserST's estimate of Sep 4th 2026 seems more and more reliable.

1$ for Becky
Well, I'd choose Riona (obviously), Sage, Sarah and Sally.
upd. oh, wait, 5 girls. I dunno.

 

[mangosok]

Fuck your rules, it's my $15 to spend.

Spend it on fish food and, well, the fish themselves. Don't ask, just spend it.

Alright, as many of us know, the music/scene pairings in this game are often amazingly wonderful and almost downright iconic. Let's play a game.
Post an image or two of a scene(s) that has an amazing song that went with it (or a character), scenes and songs that linger in your head long after you shut the game off. Post your answer to the titles of the songs (or links to the actual song from youtube). Then, post your own challenge for us to guess. (Please stick to 2 or 3 different scenes to give others a chance to post their favorites).
I'll start you off easy. Have fun and good luck!
Song 1: "This is tricky..."



Song 2: "If I've got air in my lungs, I ain't worried about a thing..."
