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

[dalli_x]

That excerpt from the WT is about the status (there it is referred as 'mood'). But I was speaking about the affinity, which although related to the status, it is not the same. The mood or status (ranging from massive chick to massive DIK) can change quickly during the course of the game, because most decisions score points towards your chick or your DIK self. The affinity, on the other hand, changes only upon making major choices (15 in total for the first two seasons). It is the affinity of your character that influences the MC's personality and relationships the most.

You are right. But I chose this screenshot because it shows how DPC defined the personality traits of CHICK and DIK for itself.

Ergo, the DIK and CHICK affinity are based on the personality traits defined by DPC. The Major Choice actually manifest the personality traits of the player and NEUTRAL actually just shows so the player doesn't know what he wants.

This becomes interesting when there are only limited Major Choice.

With a DIK or CHICK affinity, the player always has the NEUTRAL option. But with the NEUTRAL affinity, the player only sometimes (not always) has a decision corresponding to the status or made earlier in the game, as an additional choice available. Consequently, it can happen so that the player has no decision-making power at all, because NEUTRAL is automatically adopted or the opposite of what the player actually wants.

For my part, I want to make decisions. If I don't like the CHICK option, with a CHICK affinity I always have the NEUTRAL option, which goes towards DIK. With a DIK affinity, the NEUTRAL option always goes towards CHICK.

Or you can just play all the paths and get all the choices that way. It's not like there isn't enough time between updates to play every variant.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Depends how technical you wanna get.
Pure sex, yeah. But, Maya rubbing herself on MC before getting tasered by Quinn is half a point, just like Derek scoring on Aerith is, since she's so loose at this point that I doubt Derek's PP made a dent there. So Jill purist run is about equal to Derek

I still wouldn't be able to do this and never will be. I have two Jill runs and in both different girls were dicked by MC.
Sorry Jill, but destiny said I had to make these girls happy before I got to you.

I was excited in the past to see what their relationship would be like, but I'm not that excited now. Since the DPC loves drama, I have a feeling Zoey will be in shock with the MC change. Even the CHICK MC looks nothing like the guy Zoey used to know.

In episode 9, DPC put a lot of focus on Zoey's reactions to finding out what life was like for the MC in college. In a canon scenario, she found out that her best friend is just one of the most popular guys in school, he's in a fraternity of party boys and troublemakers and is still extremely respected by the members.

DPC will flirt with the idea that Zoey feels insecure because she believes that the MC doesn't need her for anything anymore, since he can now fly with his own wings. You can write it down and charge me later.

In fact, Zoey is proud of MC. Just look at this:

Her facial expression and eyes says: That's ma boy.

Dalli only plays Chick MC + MJ route.
The rest he knows from making the game.

How do I activate this scene? Do I need to play a DIK MC? I usually play with CHICK MC because of Isabella and I don't remember this scene. Indeed, she looks proud (and wet).

I've worked on static renders all week and I've gotten through several scenes. It's been solely story-related scenes and I've been working on Bella, Sage, Josy, Maya, Jill, Quinn, Riona, the DIKs, and more. I've worked plenty on clothes and environments and posed around 230 renders and one SFW animation this week.
I checked the script to see how many written scenes lacked art. I counted 13 written story scenes ranging from short to long left to pose static renders for and three free-roam events that are partially written but without art.
Checking the different branches, there is work left there as well. Out of all branches, I've been busiest with the Others' branch so far. The main girl branches all need more content, which I haven't written yet but have planned.
Comparing my current numbers to episode 9, we get:

• 44% static renders (2237/5037)
• 52% writing
• 49% animations (148/303)

The animations in my render queue are now below 40, and in a few days, the more demanding lewd scenes I mentioned in an earlier status update will be completed. I believe the render speed of the animations will increase shortly after that.
This likely means I have 2-3 more weeks of other work before returning to posing lewd scenes. I will be spending most of this time posing static renders but also doing some writing.

At the moment, it's hard to say how big this episode will be, and it's not necessarily fair to compare it to the biggest episode in the game like I just did.
At least it gives us all a feeling of being close to 50% completed overall, which I also believe it is. Please take the numbers and percentages with a grain of salt.
You can look forward to another preview next week, the first preview of Zoey's special render set and more of the Clone series. 17 girls remain in the Clone series; hopefully, most of your favorite girls are covered with it.

I'll also have the first Rooster post up on Twitter soon. If you don't want to miss it, follow me on Twitter at

Have a nice weekend

Question with this is if those are rendered or posed. I'd lean towards rendered, since in week 7 he had 74 animations completed so to have only rendered 34 animations in the last 7 weeks would be a slow down but in line with typical episode 9 progress. (though he did mention a slow to render lewd scene)

If they are rendered, then progres is in line with episode 8, which could point to a July release. If not it's closer to episode 9 which could point to September or even October.

You need DIK MC, competition with girls for a drink (the first act of the party). Select the option "Spilling beer on boobs will not disqualification" or "neg Becky". These are the options I have tried.

 

[ffive]

If poorly implemented, this will break the immersion, fortunately I have an example of a game that does this well. I think if DPC wanted to make sound effects, he would do it well. This guy is good at almost everything in his game, albeit slowly.
I'm only talking about the sound effects of lewd scenes, not full voice acting.

For what it's worth, BaDIK originally had a tiny bit of voice acting. It was then removed, with justification that maybe it'll be added some day, once the game is completed. This way there's no risk that some VA can no longer continue voicing their character mid-development.

The requirements are very specific. I opted for Drinking competition but didn't get that scene. Is there a similar reaction from Zoey if the MC chooses Body Shot as one of the activities?

I had a look at the game files and Isabella gets jealous if the MC participates in Body Shot, so I never dared choose that activity. Call me a pussy but I've had enough drama in this game I don't need a jealous Isabella one bit.

It's hard to say, maybe there are some other factors that open this render. Maybe it's not available on Bella's route.

Bella doesn't deserve to be treated like this, so many terrible things have happened in her life, I would never cheat on her.

Very well, i guess I'll try to be serious for once.

There was no hysteria, it’s my position that if we men can fuck everything that moves, and what doesn’t move - move and fuck, and I consider such behavior to be the normal for us, then I also consider it normal for women. That's why I don't understand your attacks on Riona, and I don't blame her.

I have never said that men should fuck everything that moves, merely that to a degree it is in general more understandable for men to be promiscuous, and that it bears less of an implication in regards to the character of said man.

But men and women are biologically distinct, especially when it comes to sexual reproduction, it is in fact the main distinction between men and women, and due to the difference the risk for investment in sex is much lower for a man, as men can not get pregnant, males engaging in promiscuous behavior is not based in the same innate risk calculation as it is for women. People can take into account that birth control pills exist etc, but the simple reality is that people did not evolve under the conditions were females could freely engage in sex without risk for pregnancy, do you see where this is going yet?

Women behaving like whores is not the same, and is not seen as the same, nor has it ever been seen as the same as men fucking around, for a simple reason, a woman that fucks around is not a reliable partner, she might cheat on you and trick you into raising someone else's child, similarly a woman that gets pregnant without knowing who the father of said child is, would be bringing a burden on the entirety of her family, and society, by bringing about a child that's going to be fucked up in the head by not having a father figure in their life.

And I genuinely don't understand why there are people who pretend to not understand this dynamic, it's not something you choose to believe, these are innate instincts ingrained into people due to biological imperatives, in the same way some people are genetically hardwired to be afraid of snakes, or spiders, or heights, people are in general genetically predisposed to make certain judgements of loose women, and of men who are content to be in relationships with loose women.

In addition, we don't know the reasons that pushed her into prostitution (she's just a nymphomaniac, or doesn't care about social standarts, or she was forced into this under duress), so we need to better understand the situation.

Riona is an easy going girl, she did it because she doesn't care, and she doesn't mind.

Your comment looked like a set of extremely conservative clichés, so I responded in that way. We already had enough of one crazy radical in the thread.

I really have no idea what you're talking about, the opinions I have are merely based on what I understand makes sense from a societal and biological level, if that makes it conservative or liberal in your opinion, then I don't care, the fact that you immediately responded by calling me a "virgin nazi proudboy" for stating ideas that you disagree with really reveals something about your own narrow mindedness, and that yes there was in fact something rather emotional about your response. There's nothing ideological in my self perception, or, about what motivates me to hold the beliefs that I hold.

In conclusion, I want to add that your strategy to raise Quinn by throwing shit at other girls is bad and doesn't work. I say this as a man who has Quinn at number two on the Side Girls list and I really like her as a complex character.

I have no such strategy, I just say what I think, if I say something that offends you, I don't care, if you disagree with me, I don't care, if you hate Quinn, I don't care, if you take any of this thread seriously, I think you should stop and ask yourself why, and try to solve the deeper issues in your life.

Hate Quinn, love Riona, genuinely I don't give a fuck, I'm just giving my opinions, and if you disagree with them that's your prerogative. Yet again, I don't care.

I hope there's at least one walltext enjoyer in this thread.

But scary Izzy is sexiest Izzy!
Nothing more sexy than her death glare

Jill's voice at the start of the game was the best Jill yep I said it

I have reached the reaction limit.
Don't worry, I'll remember your wise words and as soon as possible I'll give you a Red Heart.

Same, so take this

 

[Jumbi]

Don't misinterpret my comment, I'm not saying how people should play, just what I think, but of course, if someone is bothered by the music, go ahead, they have the option to do so

Hey, I hope my comment did not bother you. It certainly was not my intention. I understand that you do not actually think it is a crime to play the game with the music OFF. That is just a way of speaking, I know.

 

[wakkawalla]

17 girls remain in the Clone series

how do his nuthangers not feel like they're getting fucked twice for their money?

 

[Jumbi]

We're kind of trying to play it down and you come over and set everything on fire? Hell, naw...

Got out of reactions. But...

You wrote a great text. By the way, it would be useful for Dawe to get acquainted with this. It seems to me that this is not about your views at all, or no matter how stupid it sounds - political beliefs, but in your opinion about the Riona route. If I'm not mistaken, you said that this relationship will lead to some kind of drama, and moreover, that this route is not necessary at all. But the fact is that a lot of people like Riona, and they want this relationship. You can treat anyone and how you like, but to say that some girl in this game is superfluous, it's like imposing your preferences on other people.

 

[Lovetities]

You just keep digging your grave by spitting these literal misogynist shits. .

I mean he is not completely wrong and Sarah scene in the game when you bunked class with her also proves it. Riona is pretty cool tho and hating on her cause she fucked half the campus is weird af especially when they are supporting drug dealer and a pimp.
