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

[Gunizz]

The last episode took about 6 or 7 days for beta testing... depending the time zone. Today is day 7.

No I've never seen his beta test go past 10 days. But that's just going by history.
Anything is possible but I doubt it. I expect we will see the release date come this week.
Might even see it released before February ends since only those in the higher tiers would
get it. The rest would see it March....and here well uh yeah..... I won't answer that!

I have to repeat myself again. Previous Beta testing for EP10 started between 13th or 15th November 2023, that is what DPC wrote in his status update on 17th November 2023. Episode 10 was releases on 8th December 2023. So that was 23-25 days of Beta testing, more than three weeks.

How can that become 7 days or less than 10 I really don't know. Math is math.

I hope they have scenes too

Same here. Ep 9 and 10 heavily hint to future scenes with them (unless those decisions just exist to rack up TC points). I really hope (same for the Sally previews btw) that DPC isn't just teasing us with no payoff.

BTW, do we already know what's the use of the major choices being major in season 9 and 10? Seeing that affinity cannot be changed anymore, I have no idea why they're not just normal choices.

Anyone else feel superior to other avn fans when they play this? I mean, I always feel like I'm better, but this game takes it to another level.

Which is more Viable, a full CHICK others run or a NEUTRAL others run? What will I miss out on not going full CHICK?

 

[FalconLover420]

The thought has been on my mind for a bit when sage graduates, who will take over the HOTs?
Quinn is likely to be gone and Heather is likely the same year as Sage.

I believe it will be Elena taking over as President with maybe Maya or Josy being VP


We do know that for the HOTS, Tommy may be gone
So Rusty as President and MC as VP?

DPC is awesome. All criticism is unfounded.

I know how you feel brother

 

[Znar26]

Sage is confirmed, I would imagine Jill gets a scene. Then probably Josy, maybe Maya, Maya/Josy is doubtful, and unfortunately probably not Bella

20 seconds into the Bella path in EP11. MC brings Bella home to meet dad.

Kirk: "Mr. Spock. Analysis?"
Spock: "Captain, that was in Episode 10."

With the HOTs, I doubt a 2nd year will become VP without previous experience in a similar role. I agree that Elena will be most like to take over if she would run for it, but I don't know if she wants to. As VP I'd rather think Melanie would become it. She seems a bit more intelligent and down to earth than Sarah and those two are my only guesses of becoming VP.

With the DIKs: If Tommy is indeed gone, MC seems to be the most logical one considering how succesful he is in his semi-leading role of the DIKs in season 2 with the reparations of the house and season 3 with the party planning. Why do you think Tommy might be gone? I can't remember any conversation where he talks about it.

I've got a feeling that, if everything will go well from now on for Maya, Derek is way more likely to drop from B&R.

Tommy dies in EP 11, he beats up Nick for cucking him then Vinny shows up and shoots him
meanwhile Maya drops out and starts working at the Pink Rose to piss off her dad, her mother finds out and commits suicide, Derek also drops out and becomes an alcoholic

No matter if you choose "others" or not, during episode 8 and 9 its decision time. Even on the others path you have to choose some girls over another and will lose some on the way. Its not possible to go for them all at once. You want to play a single playthrough and get as many girls as possible? Wrong game, wrong approach to this game... The "others" path is not a harmen path.

My royal highness, I am very sorry for making the mistake. Never again will I forget a few days from over a year ago. My highness, please forgive me!

Does it really matter? I dont think so.

Its clear as day that the game will end after the semester. We will not play anymore when Sage has graduated. The whole game is just about the first year at college for the MC, everything after that will be dealt with in an epilogue or so.

So far I disagree with your vision of the others path. So far the only SG you always seem to lose is Nora, but she might change her mind in the future. We also don't know yet if future episodes have another chance to have a date with the one you don't choose.

Which is more Viable, a full CHICK others run or a NEUTRAL others run? What will I miss out on not going full CHICK?

If you want to have sex with as many girls as possible outside of DICK others, you should go for Neutral Others. If you go for Chick, you'll either miss Sandy or Madame Rose. You can never get Quinn if you go for Chick.

It doesn't matter, but it's always fun to discuss about what the future might bring for the characters.

I would, but I'm expecting to be dead by then.

I just want to see who gets shot. The gun card has been played and has to be used

I'm pretty sure that I exposed the fact that your complaints are fixated on James. You feel the need to inflate that with hyperbole. People do that when they at least on some level realise that their arguments are insufficient.

We can say that James will appear at some point. It would be anti-climactic if he didn't. The characters however can't expect this. To them James being alive is a big "what if". There are more pressing matters to consider.

MC turning up in her life started the process of Bella moving on. This process will not be instantaneous. We are shown multiple times how Bella worries about being unfaithful. We are also shown her to be a very private person. It is to be expected that she will not easily voice her worries and MC is smart not to press her on that.

We do know that Bella and James met in college. We don't know how their relationship progressed or when they got married, but they might have had as much as 15 years of memories before he disappeared. Moving on from that takes time.

MC and Bella are definitely due a long discussion about James, but they have naturally been distracted by the Jill situation. And now Maya's situation is another distraction. Helping Sage deal with her parents' divorce will be yet another distraction. However, distracting as they are the subjects of family and marriage are bound to spark thoughts in both of them. It's just a shame that when one of them finally says: "We need to talk" James turns up within minutes.

If Bella goes to meet Neil there are certainly possibilities for progress with the "What about James" elephant. However, Neil might also choose not to press her on the matter.

We should also remember that while we have speculated for years, the characters only met three months ago. It is not realistic to expect immense progress.

If James returns & you're not on Bella's path, would this be considered NTR? Bella is married to him, but he is a man.
