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

[Better Cock Spock]

If that happens he will sell the rights for the game to be completed by someone else

I think he'd want to finish it himself, it'll be his legacy.

 

[NonyaBusinezz]

That's mostly because Josy only has mundale levels of family bullshit (divorced parents, angry stepmom, DIK stepbro), while Maya's family is biblically fucked. They teased us with Josy drama in the beginning that resolved when we found out that her dad did all the CHICK choices in his run, and was a sweetheart. Patrick became a completely abusive fundamentalist crackhead, after starting out cool and mellow before his wife got sick.

On second thought, Josy's family is a bad porno?

Ehh its mostly curiosity, I'm just thinking it needs to be like an anime type of break, where they stop the usual drama bs and chill/goof off if that makes sense. All while fleshing out others who haven't really had that opportunity like Josy or Rio/etc

Tbf it sounds like thats gonna be EP11's thing maybe during winter break other than the obvious traitor/vinny situation.

DPC is working on episode 12. It's going to take less time, right?

He should stick with testing the current episode , so the beta test would not have to last two week.

 

[Bazsa4]

Do you guys think DPC will ever start limiting dev time?

 

[Bazsa4]

Josy's family is a bad porno?

You know how you can finish Tommy's sentence with the word "Horny?" in the strip club in... ep 4? Is it ep 3?
Well that was a bit sus... Almost LewdLab level bullshit

Sadly not new, been here since EP7 and only seen the dev time grow. I mean the updates are good and long but damn it's a long wait.

Then there's your answer.

SteveyP gonna have to update his saves post with a "start of episode 11 soon".

 

[Macky009]

I think he'd want to finish it himself, it'll be his legacy.

99% I agree that he will try and finish the game and it will be his magnum opus. But the 1% is if he was so sicked that he cannot complete the game and the only option to compete it is sell the rights.

Damned I just remember Palmer may he rest in peace

 

[ModiThorrson]

My standard new episode play order:

1-)Josy and Maya
2-)Sage
3-)Others

I do exactly the same thing, I just ran a "romantic" balanced throuple run recently, as well as a fuckboy run for the others path. I'm likely going to set up a neutral sage run before release, with a setup for solo maya(should it actually become possible).

 

[shazba jnr]

can I ask this? I know a lot of people follow, fund, like this game. But its been well over a year now for any update. Why isn't this abandoned yet? Or at least mark as such until an update come along or even "On Hold"

There is zero belief that the game is on hold, and definitely not abandoned.

The updates keep getting bigger (arguably unnecessarily), and so the development time increases appropriately. The developer communicates to his patron on discord and via his Patreon site, and detailed status updated are presented every week.

So the only other reason for the game to be marked abandoned on this site would be if the development time exceeded 18 months (an arbitrary date set by the staff of F95).

So in a nutshell, it isn't marked abandoned or on hold because it isn't abandoned or on hold.

When it comes out in a month (give or take), it will be a very big update, bigger than a lot of complete games on this site. Is a lot of that bloat? Possibly, but it is what it is, and it isn't what it isn't.

So I finished season 2 and there's only 2 options for me sege or others
Did I fuckup along the way cause i want queen
Or maybe her route is on season 3?

Who is your Queen? Everyone has their own. Odds are that you've chosen poorly and locked out the relationship.

Hey, on another note, I've just reinstalled everything on a new PC, and just noticed for the first time that I can import from either Patreon/GOG saves OR STEAM SAVES! I've never seen that before. Was that added in 10.1, or am I just a completely oblivious idiot?

 

[TheNowhereWolf]

Not at the end of It yet but the Quinn route has completely changed my mind about her, she's not going to make things easy I don't think but she Is kind of cute when trying to open up. I feel like she really has tried to open up, got a little laugh when I read this but It does seem like a sincere attempt to let MC know she's trying.

This will be the next-to-last status update for episode 11. After beta testing has started, I'll post the final status update on episode 11.

I won't have much more to report on Episode 11 until then, and I'll let you know the status as soon as I have something to share. I am playtesting the episode but also working on episode 12 development. I won't report on that until after v0.11.0 is released.

The estimate for the animation queue remains unchanged as it's steadily shrinking. Lately, the daily average render count has been somewhat higher than normal. I'd still say February 7-9 holds as the completion date for the render queue, and beta testing will start shortly thereafter.

Episode 11 pre-release details
Episode 11 will be somewhere around ~18.5 GB in size for the full download (likely slightly less; it depends on the remaining animations).

The patch will be somewhere around ~6.3 GB in size. This means the MEGA host won't work without a subscription, but there will be other free hosts for downloading everything upon release, as always.

If you want to patch the game instead of downloading the full v0.11.0 at release, make sure you have an unmodified version of the game downloaded. You can only patch v0.10.0 and v0.10.1. You must download the full v0.11.0 version if you have an older version.

If you're unsure about patching, I recommend you download the full version (18.5 GB), extract it and play - it's that simple.

A reminder: save your game at the end of episode 10, where the game tells you to save to avoid any save game issues when playing the upcoming episode.

Keep backup copies of the previous version until you're sure the new version works for you and your save files.

Here is a preliminary changelog for episode 11.

-- Changelog v0.11.0 --
Added Episode 11 that includes

7113 renders
392 animations
6 2D-art pieces
2 2D-art animations
42 songs
32 sound effects

• Menus in Brawler can now be closed using the middle mouse button.
• Improved the text spacing in the Bios app.
• Fixed a bug where the final free roam event of episode 10 didn't end if you failed the main task.
• Fixed an issue with money messages staying on screen when fast traveling from the desk area.
• Fixed a missing image error for an animation.
• Fixed a bug with the on-screen text message conversation that could happen if a game was saved at specific points during these conversations.
• Fixed an issue that prevented Envy's events from being added to her Bios history.
• Fixed a rounding issue with the Happiness % in the Party Planner mini-game that caused a mismatch in % gained or lost during evaluation.
• Fixed an issue with missing text in the Stats app and Party Planner tab when participating in the CUM-petition in Episode 9.
• Fixed an issue with the Party Planning mini-game that didn't update the emotes correctly according to the happiness level.
• Fixed an issue with the episode report of episode 10 that would show a choice that potentially didn't happen for Lily.
• Slightly increased timer for the English class.
• Fixed an issue potentially causing a scene with Sage, Maya and Josy to be skipped if the player didn't spend time with Zoey in episode 10.
• Corrected typos

Have a nice weekend

Im so torn on Quinn, early on she is presented a deplorable human being, and it's hard not to think that

But her route does a great job of personalising her, but then you know, prostituting out her girls, how she treats Rio
