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

[Ostap Bender]

I wonder if the developer will punish the player for passing the game dik? I think yes, and there are several hints about this. At the beginning of the game, Neil tells the main character to 1) not use drugs 2)use condoms 3) confess his love. In the passage of dik, the main character does not all of the above. In order for all this to be beautifully looped, something terrible must happen to the main character and there was a certain moral. They say, I warned you!

Why would DPC want us DIKs to "follow our hearts" then? To show us how bad we are? In my main save I literally follow my heart and I ended up as a Huge DIK. Does that make me (or my MC) a bad person? I don't think so. After all DIKs and CHICKs are simply into different things in life.
Also, you know, CHICK MC does not use condoms too and can use drugs, so...

A bad person? No. Well, maybe with some choices might make you (arguably) a shitty person. But being a huge DIK certain makes you... a huge dick.

I quite agree, although in my opinion there are some decisions that are so 'wrong' that they deserve exemplary punishment.

the first ones that come to mind are sharing Jade's video (which we promised her was just for us) and "annoying" Ashley. in that case it's not about being DIK or Chick

What is up with that sequence where Maya's Dad sneaks into her room why was that scene made to look so ominous and sinister? He doesn't seem that bad at all unless are we getting set up for another psycho nurse Dad version? Also during the cuts someone seems to be fiddling on a computer and the screen says something about Mona, I assume it's related with Maya since they're interspersed together? Can someone explain that part I might have missed somethings since I tend to skip dialogue on characters I'm not interested in much, ie Mona.

the dik mansion was Burke at least the moral author as for the practical author choose which of Burke`s puppets did it it can go from the jokes to Vinnie or even the Betas!

cathy was Quinn and her crew the pic had to be taken by girls and the hot`s where all over the mansion but few accounted for at the critical time!
Aslo...

Bert gave the video to Stephen when the MC showed it to Derek when they finished the beers in Derek and Bert room!

D&C BM was clearly Quinn after Dawe fuck with her income when he stoped buying her sugar pills!

Also new theory:
Cathy picture was already in the computer... it was part of Rusty spank bank!
That would explain why he feels so guilty ...
as for who did it its the same reason with the D&C BM they fucked with Q income she ordered her girls to get back at Rusty so Camila was buttfucking Rusty while Rhyona searched for dirt on Rusty and she acted on the moment and panicked once she understood what she had done and stole the computer or else Rusty could figure it out it was the hot girls if the computer had not went missing and only he and Camilla where in the room!

Rhyona was protecting Camilla!

Hmmm, these are some very plausible theories. Thanks!

is Burke the man you see on the computer, the professor husband of Jade and father (maybe stepfather) of Tybalt.

the scene is not strictly related to Maya, but it's related to the restaurant, the prostitute ring controlled by Quinn, Mona refused to have sex with Burke that's why her "scholarship" is cancelled. we don't know much about the affair so the rest are theories.

The scene of Maya's father sneaking into his daughter's room, after we find out that Maya had always assumed that the father had the keys, loses a lot of its drama, but it doesn't rehabilitate Patrick for his oppressive and manipulative behavior towards his daughter, at least from what Maya tells us.

I don't think Maya's dad is going to be THAT type of psycho, but Maya is a legal adult and he's sneaking into her room (uninvited and by obtaining a key from someone other than Maya) to spy on her. He is doing all this not out of love but out of a desire to spy on her lifestyle. Given that Maya and Josy are now living there together, his sneaking in was quite ominous, I think. Thanks to MC's quick thinking, Josy's living there wasn't (yet?) discovered.

Chad got those letters before Dawe stopped buying pills. He gets letter at Ep3 start and Dawe stops buying the pills at Ep3 end.

only luck saved them.

The luck that Maya's father did not make his surprise visit during the week that Josy and Maya lived together peacefully.
The luck that Maya's father made his surprise visit on the very night of the end of the scavenger hunt when they both came home much later than usual.

But as you know, fortune favours the bold.

and yet i keep forgetting this part and was stated 2-3 times already!

Alright, back to my ol' stomping grounds here.

I've taken several months off from this thread and have gotten more involved in other games that still give me an emotional and story driven kick that I want and need.

Playing a game these last two months that's heavy on a music theme, and every time I do, it reminds me of Jill's upcoming piano gig here. I haven't touched Ep. 7 at all and I guess I'll want to hear about what happens in Ep. 8 before I decide to come back to it. I've watched some videos and playthroughs so I know what to expect in a certain blackmail situation, but this game feels like it's so long as it is and going through two more "new" episodes to me sounds ominous and oppressive.

I guess I'm waiting to hear from those who do her (Jill's) route about and how, or when, this Tybalt issue gets solved. I've played a lot of games over these many months I was absent from here but I always seem to think about this one, especially around the time of a possible update dropping since it coincides with another major game on this site.

And don't worry, I'm not going to be here that often bothering you guys about anything or about her, drooling from my chin as I was during my last appearance. I just want to keep tabs on updates and going to avoid getting into nonsensical disputes.

It was a good week.

As you know, I've been working on static renders for quite some time now.

And the development has passed a very nice milestone: 200 animations and 2000 renders fully produced.

I have 5 more scenes that I can pose renders for, but I need to get back to writing again after that.

I've yet to write several big and important scenes, and it feels good that I've almost caught up my writing with the art.

Next week I'll likely work on static renders again and then write the rest of the episode.

I cannot accurately estimate the remaining work, but I'd be surprised if it didn't surpass the next milestone I have my eyes on: 300 animations and 3000 renders.

Have a nice weekend

ename144 , finally get his numbers, what a lucky Friday 13th. . I'm no expert, I say he is around halfway, we now the goal is at least 3000 render, and 300 animation, even saying it, is just a wow. I think somewhere October is still an acceptable estimate.

Good to see you back here Mark, interested to know how you enjoyed Jill's solo scene last episode!

I quite don't understand this, are those animation and render numbers his minimum goal or Final goal.

Ep7 had 3722 renders and 250 animations. The no of animations went up and renders went down.

And not all animations will be lewd....

If this is the case then I think early to mid October is doable

I think in the end there will be 350-400 animations. This is the season finale and it is being prepared for release in steam. I think he has already done most of the game. And the readiness is about 70%.

If you're on her path, she has tons of scenes on Episode 7. Both story & character progression and lewd scenes

Based on the context, it's the minimum. and he also mentioned somewhere that there are SFW animations, may be He use sometimes animations instead of renders. .
But it's too early to tell, 3000 is the minimum, that is all we know. Knowing him, it's likely not the final numbers
