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

[Garen]

She is anything BUT perfect knowing her good and bad sides but that doesn't even needed to fancy someone ! She is a prostitute ( which is bad I would say ) smokes ( even weed... I would not count that to positive either ) but at the same time she is a lovely petite and delicate flower ! Sticks out of the HOTs ( personal opinion ) and for the better... she is caring and smart... and that OCD of hers just makes her even more attractive Not a relationship type though I'd love to see her too a bit more ( don't see why would not she be an option for DIK route ! ) Possibly the best choice from the HOTs I think so as well ( Sage Quinn excluded ! )

The cons don't matter since it's a story and the pros make her very attractive, yep.
BaDIK has done a lot for the "Not a relationship type but great to hang out" type girl and has many of them. It's been done very nicely and is super comfy.

If she'd just stop fucking everyone else already!

I don´t know if DPC don´t hire help because he´s greedy, of hard to please and don´t want let go any part of his "creature". But, if the second case is the truth, there are a lot of tasks in a game like this one that doesn´t need to give up any creative control. Coding, for example. Or making certain routine renders, like the ones of empty rooms or sceneries and the ones of the cicle of two characters maintaining a conversation with close-ups of their faces and slight changes of expression, mouths open or closed, etc. Things like those than don´t need creativity, but for sure are time-consuming, and someone could do them for him while he makes more important things. Even if he don´t hire a writer/director and wants to retain control of all the game, there are a lot of things that could do for improving the game and shorten release times, by hiring some help.

The reluctance to expand a development team, even when the game's income allows it, is common to many indie projects.
Besides the reasons you mention, there is also the fact that creators are not managers, neither in their vocation nor in their abilities: they don't want to or can't devote time to supervising a team and ensure that their own inspiration is respected.

Many successful creators also express doubts about the capacity to reproduce a hit, which is why they tend to keep it going. It is their only source of income in a competitive niche market. How many of them are planning for a new project but years later still hadn't completed the previous one?

This aversion to risk-taking is typical of an industry that is still largely amateur and much more precarious than it seems. The amount of abandoned projects is proof of this.

That's why I wrote for " college life "... things are easy then and there nobody wants strings attached ( or if they do they can talk about it and turn to exclusive ) just have hmmm... fun ?!

He defo make a lot of money with people subscribing per month or randomly every month, and his game is great. But the wait to get an update once or twice per year is awful. That means we gonna spend 10 years to get this game done and every update will only give us 1hour of enjoyable gameplay.

 

[Deleted member 4298851]

There is still hope yet for you mate !

Gee thanks

Yeah well. We all know how much I love Jill, but Rio, I don't know if it would be a lustful choice going after her, or do I give her character a fair and honest run like I've always done with Jill and all my other games? Maybe during the game's "off season" like we're in now, I'll most like give Riona and honest run. She's a pure DIK run though right, none of this neutral stuff?

 

[Tadpol]

The point of my post, which you obviously didn't get, is that the characters most in need of a job (MC, Maya) or Josy, an Economics Major who was depicted in the early game as a go getter who would earn at every opportunity, don't have job

From my non-American perspective, I imagine that when you borrow money for your education, it's not just to pay for school fees, but for accommodation and food.

Considering the (supposedly very high) cost of university, I don't imagine that part-time work is enough. That being said, we could say to ourselves that even if we do not earn enough, it is already a first step.

Except that as others have already explained, it is not possible with Maya's father. If he finds out that his daughter has a job, he follows through on his threat.


As for the others who don't work, so much the better for them. If they don't need the money for living expenses, no need for a job, they can use this free time for study and fun.

As is the case for the majority of popular games on this site and your opinion is shared by a majority of fans. This is a general enough situation that we try to understand the causes from the creator's perspective and not just the player's.

Yeah I'm sure I'll be in my early 50s once this game is done, if I don't die or be put in permanent psych ward first. That was my worry when I came back to this game; will I be alive long enough to see the end of it.

Weeell you kinda have to be on the dick side... but not as hardcore one... just keep an eye out for Quinns restaurant and go to the roof to smoke some weed and guess this is pretty much it... rest is in your capable hands regardless of affinity ! There is no real content for Rio sadly but as a side girls you will get great scenes with her if you are interested even a threesome with Cammy... although you should not be rude to her either if you wanna get that one ( optional you can stick to Rio ! )

Ever since I joined this site really.

 

[Fendrall]

I have a lot of empathy for Maya despite not having chosen her in the end. However, I'm afraid the free tuition thing will make her fall from the frying pan into the fire, i.e. into Burke's net. I hope I will have the chance to choose an alternative path for her, even if it's more difficult...

 

[Klopdwerg]

and then there's her recital appearance too

Spoiler: EP8 did Josy right

nice fan art but quite different from Rio in the game

DPC did the expressions for Josy extremely well this episode. He did before don't get me wrong but in EP.8 damn, he just captured her loving look so damn well. If anyone wasn't into Josy these renders should tip the wages .

 

[Marley300]

Maya&Josy what a pair of control freaks! For sure they want a spineless Tremolo to play him as a fiddle. They are not even in a real relationship with him, and trying to make him feel bad for a funny photo with other girls. That "we think higher of you" and the kiss is in the first page of the book "Course for manipulative bitches 101". I´m glad I have never played this path.

Bro, it’s just a small detail in the game that shows that actions have consequences like always… No need to get offended

Maya & Josy are Chicks girls, you have the choice to take the cluck if you’re on the Dick Path. Their reactions to it is normal. It’s just a small reminder that once again a ‘Dick MC’ could be dumped because he’s not compatible. Just like Quinn can eventually dump the MC if he becomes a chick.

They may not be officially dating but you do sleep with and date them. There’s also a small reminder that your choices have consequences in the library.

One too many fingers in one too many pies; that's why I do what I do in these games, because of shit like that.

Fuck them. They are already into a relationship with each other and lied Tremolo about it... and they think that Tremolo should close his doors with other girls and just wait until they decide... what? To admit him into their relationship like an a
anexo? And teaming up to control him into an spineless eunuch? My Tremolo already decided. To be with none of them. Sage would have never bitched her about a photo with other girls. Jill would give Tremolo something more in terms of commitment than M&J. And Bella is a goodness of sex. His "yoga sex" is just blow minding!!! Any of them would be a better option.

Well, if I do a DIK Rio run, I can still avoid all that; not get involved with Maya or Jill or even Josy, right? I mean, let me be honest, a DIK run goes against everything I am as a person, I've said that before. I mean, I do like helping Jill, befriending Bella, and all that, it makes me happy.

But being a total assclown weed smoker, and a john for Quinn is just so not me. I'd have to drink a whole bottle of one of the saké products I have to probably tolerate it

Sure as a person it goes for me too... with the extension that I would not want to be a dick to anyone... ( I would just stay away from those who I don't see eye to eye ) About Maya&Josy if you take the weed they will reject you so it's a decision there where do you wanna go onwards ?! ( not sure if this can be recovered with their solo attempt will have to test it first.... in 25 years or so ) Quinn can be refused too ! It's the " smoking weed " that counts... although if you do a DIK run I would recommend to go for a full frontal attack on all fronts ! You can get everyone on that route in 1 ( ! ) run if you play your cards right ! Sure I guess this would mean you have to buy sake by the gallons ! MILFS PINK ROSE HOTS QUINN all in one !
