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

[Dashxp4k]

This Jill Royce is almost as big a tease as the in-game one

I should change my name to Jill Royce Lover.

Same, I'm ready to move on and hope this update covers a few days at minimum

Another reason why I don't want the DnG preview to be an actual game. The way DPC keeps mentioning this "new feature" and that this will the "longest episode", coupled with that preview, has me worried that we're going to see some long-ass game of DnG complete with mini-games and free-roam that will take up a huge chunk of the episode and we'll only move forwards by about 2 days.

If it were a dream sequence, it wouldn't take too long and the episode might advance a bit further, but I have a feeling they're going to drag out this Scavenger Hunt week a bit longer and a long game of DnG would act as filler to do just that.

when check dpc discord there's a

#nitro-diks-room new preview pic. you need to be a $10 DIK member to access the preview pic. so who has it?

Probably N7, Sorrow85, EmperorGER, or -Hex- since they post stuff that's available for those on the $10 tier.

The wait is killing me already

Free roam section inside an actual DnG game Let's roll the dice! I'm already seeing it

I waited 5 months for Ep 4 so calm down

You can't see your RP (Relationship Points) with the girls as it's a hidden stat.

Your Affinity will be DIK because you must have made more Major DIK choices than Major CHICK choices. Basically, any of these:

• Fought Troy
• Took Quinn's number
• Didn't talk to Steve
• Fought the Jocks
• Partied without limit at the Pink Rose
• Went further with Jade
• Smoked weed with Quinn
• Fought Caleb
• Punched Tybalt

If you did most or all of those, then your Affinity will be DIK.



My sentiments exactly. Care to enlighten us, Jill Royce?

hmm i thought beating troy is chick because of walkthrough :




interesting though

I don't mind another DnG scene as long as it isn't dragged out.

and i have mad respect to everyone who waited since ep 1, how do you guys manage to do so, the most I have waited was for Life is Strange:Before the storm, 2 months between each episode. And also last season of game of thrones

If he does do that, no matter how popular this game is and even if there are lewd scenes in this fantasy setting, I don't think too many people will be all that pleased.

It says "Permanent penalty to CHICK status", meaning it's a negative affect on CHICK Affinity.

 

[Skjall]

D&G is ok, especially in it's 5th iteration, but I'm more into Trailseeker 2nd ed myself. So I hope it won't take too much of an episode.

That's a not very intuitive way to write a WT. You see the colors and think that's the stat positively affected, yet is the one being penalized. Would've been more user friendly to say "Beat him up will increase DIK status" or something like that. But if you go for the negative effect, at least write that "penalty" in bold or something.

True, but the word "penalty" should give people a pretty good idea of what effect the decision will have, so the problem is more that people don't read it properly.

Yeah, but write it in bold red and everybody will realize quicker

I fail to see how a long-ass dream sequence would be anything but worse. Your concern seems to be less with DnG and more with wasting time and development cycles on padding and filler. Well, right there with you.

I guess it's possible he could add a DnG mini-game to certain free roams, but if so it would likely be quick and simple like the other mini-games. Short of that, I can't see him making a big deal out of new DnG content. It would be like dreading having a whole episode set at the Pink Rose if DPC teases a pic of Sandy, Lily and Josy; I suspect I would hate such an episode, but I'm not going worry about that particular problem without a much stronger sign it's actually a risk.

The thing is beating up Troy doesn't give you a boost to your DIK affinity because the system only works by removing chunks from your existing meter. Everything is a penalty.

Yet one more way in which the Affinity system is unnecessarily complicated.

if something good comes out of the D&G game it will be a huge surprise for me.

I'm afraid it will prove to be just a filler with a bit of fan service on Sally for example

A dream sequence at the start of ep 6 that's about as long as the DIK flashback in ep 5 would be all that's really necessary, and I'm sure it would be preferable to most people than a long game of DnG that potentially has mini-games and free-roam, and stalls the progress of the actual story.

This is probably only intended to discord people only.
Sorry but here is my limits, public patreon releases would still go but not like this.

I hope someone else can help you, this case.

Edit:
Tip, there is none of the girls

A dream sequence wouldn't make a lot of sense to start Episode 6 given it wasn't nighttime at the end of Episode 5 and we hadn't even worked out where the MC would be sleeping. Plus, and I feel I need to emphasize this, dream sequences in BaDIK suck.

How would that be in any way preferable to an equal length session of actual DnG in the middle of Episode 6 that lets us see the actual characters interacting with each other in a novel setting?
