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

[lemonfreak]

I 2nd that. (Summoning N7)

Although once it's gone, the people asking about it being broken will be replaced with, "Is there an Android port?", "Can someone make an Android port?", "I thought this game had an Android version?", "Anybody give me link to Android port? Pls, thnx."

It could be replaced with a note that says why there's no android port but nobody would read it

 

[Holy Bacchus]

I though about that too, but if we're getting a message from everyone who dowloads it anyway...

And by the way, you don't get notifications from mentions, do you?

Yes, but it can be turned off in the Preferences section.

Sad, but true.

Wizard_Shiryuu you do actually, unless you've turned them off.

The thing is that Josy had a crush with you when you were just an ordinary shy boy she worked with. And Maya starts to feel something for you after several intimate moments in which you are tender and caring. But if you keep doing dumb things and acting like a DIK, well, I can understand them having second thoughts. In fact, I'm quite comfortable with this double-check system as I feel it's quite realistic. Our MC is an immature teenager who is trying to fit in a new world so he's looking for some social acceptance from DIK's (mainly) but he also should think about how that behaviour could affect her personal relationships with the girls he's interested in. I think that realization is an important step in everyone's maturing process and I guess we'll see something similar in this game sooner or later.

Maybe you remember Megan's story from AL, when she tells you about her teenage heartbreak. The boy was nice and all but acted like an ass around his friends because their acceptance was more important for him than standing for his supposed feelings towards Megan, and finally cheated on her. I can easily picture him like your average brainless DIK. Megan decided to trust him back then, others might not want to risk it.

The issue, for me, is that you also accrue points for things that others cannot know you have done, such as checking out someone as they walk away, in an otherwise empty room. Even when, for most of the other actions directed toward the innocuous and innocent, you are a pleasant gentlemen.

Also, aside from that interpersonal issue, there is an intrapersonal one as well:
Why do you accrue points for checking women out, if they are unaware you are doing it? I mean, nearly all men I know, myself included, check attractive women out most of the time, and it isn't because I'm some chauvinistic pig, it's because I'm a heterosexual male, and that response is practically instinctual. So, why exactly would that skew our psyche, in the same way as choosing to stay and fight all of the jocks at once?

Apart from the story and relationship inconsistencies, I'd say they're doing just fine on their own. Most devs can't manage to do 1320 renders and 60 animations of their quality in just over a month.

Also, there has only been one update that took almost 5 months and that was ep 4, and it only took that long because of the branching paths, every other episode has been around 3-4 months, including ep 5.

the last update was at 29 of may you can say it has been 2 months

Sad, but true.

Weird, I got mentioned sometimes and never got a notification, I just checked and it's on. Oh, well...

Wizard_Shiryuu you do actually, unless you've turned them off.

Ok, now it works, but I swear I never touched that and I've gotten mentions without notifications

I have not been in fraternities of the western side of the world (or in general), but this has really nice pace to it. The environment is has decent and appropriate models & textures, which is fine considering it's a BIG game, but that's the only down side of it. The Characters are very expressive and unique personalities, which gives them stories to tell. Everything else is well made and fine. Keep up the good work!

If we're starting the count at when it was released, then yes, it almost 2 months, but they haven't been working on it those whole 2 months. His first status update on the 26th of June said it was the first full week he's been working on the game, so it's really only been in development for a just over a month, and to produce 1320 renders and 60 animations in that space of time is impressive.

The fact that they're touting it as "the longest episode to date" means that it will be worth it, regardless of how long it takes.

This site can be pretty inconsistent at times with the notifications. I've sometimes noticed myself tagged in a message but not gotten the notification.

Amazing what Pinkcake's game did here, 4k sites of posts in under 1 and half years...

There is no 'allegedly' that's what he did and why Jill in part put off dating for the time being until MC came along.

You saw this? Or are you just relaying what Jill told the MC? Might want to look up the definition of "allegedly".

You don't believe Jill was telling the truth?

 

[Monstrous Moonshine]

You don't believe Jill was telling the truth?

Why should you? She's bourgeois, and you're a poor kid from "small-town America". My theory is that she is trying to entrap you, because she's just like "our" Mom, she seeks escapism from her gilded cage. As she said: "All of these possessions mean nothing."

 

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

We don't have any reason to doubt her, but that's her side of the story. I'd like to hear Rusty's version.

 

[Cndyrvr4lf]

Weren't you the one who just a couple of hours ago started a huge conversation about stating things as facts that we couldn't prove?

and it's not even her BIGGEST secret

 

[Monstrous Moonshine]

and it's not even her BIGGEST secret

And yet, she is still my "best girl". I guess I'll have to wage my own inner class conflict as MC, and come to terms with "our" position as lumpenproletariat, just like "our" Dad.

Is Bella going to get a cosmetic poll? So far it’s been Maya, Jill, and now Sage

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Actually it was about how people have different perspectives on the game's events and character relationships and about how we should realise that not everyone has the same opinion on things because of these different perceptions. Also that when theorising things we should make it clear that they are theories by using conjecture.

It is not conjecture to say that Jill clearly stated what happened on her date with Rusty because that is what happens in the game. It is, however, conjecture to say that it might not have happened the way that Jill said it did because we have no reason to doubt Jill's words. This is like when people say that the MC's Mom is alive and that Neil lied, but we have no reason to doubt Neil so anything else is a theory.

Doesn't mean people can't have these theories, but right now the facts are that Rusty behaved badly on his date with Jill and any belief otherwise is a theory.

Again do we see it? I have no reason to doubt her word but her telling me something doesn't make it a fact. Thats why I said allegedly because we don't know what happened. Maya said she had a boyfriend, right? So where's her boyfriend? Oh thats right she lied. So why couldn't Jill have told her side of the story and Rusty have a total different story? See same scene different outcomes based on peoples interpretations. ALLEGEDLY!!!!!!

I love when people shoot their own rants in the foot

We have no evidence that Bella isn't keeping a space squid behind the locked door, that doesn't mean it's a possibility worth discussing. Nothing we've seen or heard from Jill gives us reason to doubt her word.
