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

[InfiniteIgnorance]

Dpc likes the drama of a shit show. Then a tie up at the end. So none of these girls working out, mc growing through the process to in the end meet again the first person he was the closest it. I could see it. (At least one of the endings)

That would be a lot closer to reality than a lot of the shit that's being thrown around.

 

[AchedCroissant]

To be fair, if its because the amount of content is getting bigger and bigger. I'm fine with that. One episode worth 2-3 episodes is the same as 2-3 episodes, imo.

So you will collect your pension and then you will come to the forum to check if the new chapter has already come out in 10 years

this is what happens in AL, where if everything goes wrong and you make certain choices you go back to the ex who betrayed you.
and I'll tell you it's also an ending I didn't mind.

But it's 10 renders at the end of the game, it doesn't change the judgement on the game experience.
And is a sunset holding hands or a good fight with flying plates more exciting?

He will. And then he'll buy those little blue pills and dust off the old sock to feel young again

 

[phill_leotardo]

He can switch to a 2 year development cycle, so the money comes in longer.

Lol, as if he couldn't make a new game. As if he couldn't make a better game. That every dev milks mindset is just to much.

We'll see on the news, old man dies of a heart attack while playing a porn game

F for fappy

That's pretty much what gave me that idea. And as far as sunset/flying plates? Depends on my mood. both have their "excitement" factor.

In my opinion, however, the issue is different.

there are films that you are willing to wait years for, but once you get there it's done, then you may or may not like it.

here we're talking about spreading out the gaming experience over 7-14 years. are you willing to wait 14 years to see how the game ends? are you ready to make that commitment to a game? how many computers will you change in 14 years? how many houses? how many jobs?

I'm not, in the same way that I wouldn't start watching lightly a TV series whose 15 seasons have been announced.

for me the psychological threshold is 6 months, if i can expect at least 2 chapters a year, i think i can make it, beyond that i would most likely quit

I dunno. It honestly doesn't bother me.

I mean, its no different than a novel series to me. For example, I got into Dresden Files fully knowing it would take 20+ years to finish. Here we are 21 years later, and we're still a bunch of books away from the end. Stormlight Archive started in 2010, and we're a decade later 4/10 books through. I started reading The Wheel of Time when I was seven, and the series finished when I was 17.

I'm not putting too much hopes when it comes to any best possible ending that this game can offers for. Heartbroken sucks man !

As long as you make the right decisions, you'll get the ending with the one(s) you want.

 

[Warscared]

A relationship with an older woman, even a teacher, is not impossible or unrealistic, nor is a relationship with 2 girls at the same time or a relationship with someone who was in a lesbian relationship but either is, or realises they are, bi. You just lack the imagination to see it.

older woman, checked!

teacher, no i always resented those with authority over me! altough some teachers loved to grab my ass and pinch my cheeks! there where also 2 gay teachers who seemed to be fond of me very much... so probably if i had wanted!

wait i did bed a few teachers... i was older then them by then and they where not my teachers it was just their job! does it still counts?

2 girls at the same time, checked... actually even more along as they do not know each other! damn you social media!

lesbians, checked... half of them are just gay because the men they want do not do fatties and/or ugly but hey fatties deserve some love too and you get to come back home with a Tupperware of fried chicken, as for getting it up just drink plenty of alcohol, does not help with the getting hard part but makes them less ugly...

freaking hell me agreeing with Holy is become a bad habit of mine! but its all possible if you got the 6 pack the 6 figure wage and the 6 feet tall, the dick education and the rest are just bonus women enjoy!

For endings, I just thought of Jade getting pregnant and like years later Tybalt will one day and look at his brother and not see an ounce of his father in him but fuckface. The man who took Jill away from him.

Tybalt needs to die in a horrific watermelon accident.

I'd consider any party where Quinn gets slapped a success too.

I can see the relation, though it seem to me novels would have a longer entertainment time than a chaper or two of badik. Granted with the upcoming release, were about halfway through dpcs original plan of total chapters and its been, like what, 3~3 1/2 years. Theres quite a bit of content, And 2 to 5 years per book isn't out of the norm for novels. So maybe it isn't that different.

Quinn will be slapped by chicks and DIKs and maybe even by chicks with dicks.

Bear in mind, my original comment was I don't mind waiting a year for a huge episode worth 2-3 episodes. I see waiting a year for an episode worth 2-3 episodes the same as getting 2-3 episodes a year. As the topic was the wait getting longer, which is due to the episodes getting bigger.

If we're waiting a year for an episode thats worth something like an episode of Echoes of Lust, I wouldn't be as lenient. I'd drop that shit like hot dog shit.

That's how I want to go.

Every episode will be bigger than the last.

This is Pinkcakes retirement fund he's building up, he's not going to speed up while the dough is flowing.

Imagine reaching a point where one chapter releases per year

To be fair, if its because the amount of content is getting bigger and bigger. I'm fine with that. One episode worth 2-3 episodes is the same as 2-3 episodes, imo.

Honestly wouldn't surprise me, it's not like Pinkcakes is in his 20s looking at this has a long term career. He's an old man, DIK is his swan song and he's aiming to go out on top. Rushing episodes to get more out isn't going to benefit his legacy.

You don't know his age. None of us do.

I'm pretty sure he's middle aged.

I reckon he modeled the character from Acting Lessons on himself. Plus this game and Acting Lessons both exude a level of maturity in their design, language, nuance etc. that I wouldn't expect from a horny 15 year old.

Even things like stroking the players ego when the mc posts on Rooster, you'll notice that the mc's posts almost always gets more likes than any other poster (except the OP); those kind of intricate details, I reckon he's got an engineering degree or something like that and has years of working experience.

Just my totally unprofessional psychological evaluation.

Lol, as if he couldn't make a new game. As if he couldn't make a better game. That every dev milks mindset is just to much.

I agree with djhillyhill, that "milking dev" mindset is a very unpleasant, cynical attitude, especially when leveled at the guy who is arguably working harder than any other dev show-cased on this site, and delivering much higher combined quality and quantity.

I know what it's like to work ridiculous hours, for some extended stints I work 80 - 100 hours a week, and I would be incensed if someone accused me of milking the job.

I'd much rather wait 6 months for an epic episode than after one month have some forgettable shit served up.
