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

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

The main LIs are the ones in the end screen, Bella, Sage, Jill, Josy and Maya. He has been very clear about that.

He also said that people cling to much to the definition of LI and that he doesn'tmake that much of a distinction between them and side girls.

actually he was talking about main girls and side girls , not used the word "Love interest".
not every girl in this game Who MC can fuck is a love interest .

 

[ZenoMod]

May I ask if the 11th and 12th episodes of DIK will be released on Steam this year? Or maybe there will only be 11 episodes this year, and 12 episodes will be released next year

You know this year is going to end in about three weeks, right?

Or are you using an alien 666-days-per-year calendar?

Just kidding
Ep 11 not before March. (Late February to be really wishful thinkers)

Ep 12... It's early to forecast, but if current trend is not inverted, I'd say June 2026.

We have past the 15 months per episode mark.

 

[Hobocop Harrier du bois]

Is it NTR if John Boy is cool with it/agrees to it? And shouldn't there already be NTR in the game since Heather can give you a blowjob?

It's not NTR if they're cool with it. They're just "spreading the love" so to speak.

I meant MGs and SGs. But yeah

It's not that he's not doing work, it's that he does things that very clearly have made the episodes take drastically longer to develop that no one was really asking for, like 60 fps animations. BADik was still the gold standard of AVNs when DPC was releasing episodes in 6 months, now it takes over a year and the number of renders and animations are not proportional.

But forgetting all that, the number one thing that built up ill-will from people here was that he would constantly say "and this will help bring down development times" or "I expect this episode to be shorter than the last" and then not deliver, not even close.

The renders (and animations) vs development time are actually very proportional:



Unfortunately, what seems to be inversely proportional is the number of renders (and animations) vs episode enjoyment level:

 

[ZenoMod]

I never said they aren't LIs, just not main LIs. There are 5 main LIs.

I don't remember DPC's exact words.

Did he specifically said main LI?

Fuck!

 

[ChipLecsap]

I meant MGs and SGs. But yeah

also the Side girls kind of changed over the course of the game. In the Beginning it was Quinn , Rio , Cammy, Mona , Jade, Cat.

then, Mona was removed, Jade, Cat , and Cammy was demoted to be fucktoys, and replaced with Lily, Nicole, and maybe Zoey .
Quinn stayed because she is DPC's little protege.
and Rio, wel . . . . .

 

[shazba jnr]

Episode enjoyment level is subjective af, how can you put that in a graphic lol

The general consensus is that enjoyment level dropped a bit after episode 4, then plummeted during episode 9, but picked up a bit after 10. I did a poll, trust me, I wouldn't lie...

The NTR crowd are incel losers who cry over pixels. They are the kind of people who get upset when a girl in real life talks to someone male like their dad, "urg shes wants to fuck him, i'm pissed off. why not me i'm so Sigma"

Mocking the NTR insane crowd will never get old, 100% agree with you.

You have to understand, these NTR crying dudes have to watch everyone but themselves get the girls in real life, and when they come to their fantasy world only to find other dudes still getting the girls, it's more than their precious egos can take.

Elena as well ever since we caught her naked in JB room.

But they were doing it beforehand. Meanwhile Sally seemed to suddenly start getting involved more after MC arrives. And DPC's love of soap-opera drama definitely gives her arc the feel of "I should hate how much I want him".

If EP 12 is bigger (and it should be) I don't doubt the development reaching 18 months (counting the steam release)

There's a chance that Episode 12 isn't quite so intensive if it follows how Episode 10 had a smaller party, or even has a party at all depending on how the story goes.

Definitely think the main party in Episode 11 is largely responsible for how long it's taken this time.

Fuck! Another endless free roam that kills the replayability in order to explore other branches.

(And this time we won't have the help of Sancho mod, likely since Sancho latest activity here dates back to June or so)

That's just your projection, since you don't know anything what was before MC.

Not really. We know Elena was partying long before then and unless I'm mistaken people do start to comment on how Sally is at loads of parties despite not really doing it before.

But you don't know that one way or the other. In fact, it is heavily imply that lots of people used to party with the Diks , but did you forget we attended at 2 and half party before the mansion was destroyed.

WE only meet the Vixens at the Halloween party, but it is clear they used to party with the Diks , or Hello ? , Becky ?! Jacob even Fucked her, omg, NTR and its slipped off from people mind

There's loads of stuff unexplained but the Sally stuff has been pretty focused in how she appears more and more at parties as time goes on and it does look to have started after you join the DIKs.

 

[heart21]

I got a notification, but it is under pay wall.

 

[jd8097619]

Not sure if the party is the culprit, even it's looking like a huge event that will probably be 20% of the whole EP.

I feel that, now that the game is so path dependent, DPC is probably trying to stuff each LI route with as much as possible content.

Add in all of his stupid decisions like the 60fps animations, the useless cutscenes (I'm sure that season 3 trailer took over a month to render), the excessive minigames and suddently you are 1 year without an update.

Also, tomorrow its the one year anniversary of EP 10 release.

Boy I wish tomorrow was as great as last year's 8th of december...

They did talk over and over about how there was "one huge free roam" if I recall correctly, and a lot of the LI stuff has happened during them. The minigames and posing of animations probably don't take that much active dev time at this point, it's rendering time that's the killer.

We'll obviously only really know when it comes out but I do get the feeling that this episode's party is going to be the largest by some margin given where the story's gone.

if we really want to nitpick it is more like She usually partying with the Hots.
But Sally is kind of a Fanservice, who appears more often after episode 6 .you right about that one
