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

[mayinglun1990]

I'd say that no dev is evil, crazy or stupid enough to write a school shooting hook into a porn game, but we are talking about the man who gave us the "one of your lovers died in an unpreventable house fire and you have to choose" plotline. So I guess nothing is truly out of the question.

Well said, brother

But even "hard numbers" don't exactly mean anything when there's no fixed total to be made.

The most we know is that as of a month ago DPC believed they had 50% of scenes completed, and are about to finish two of the big scenes that make up what's left.

Basically by Christmas it'll probably be around 75% of scenes done and be out by end of Spring next year barring anything extreme happening.

lol it does allow for some estimation. there's the user that would put out the tracker based upon completed static renders/animation (can't find it now) and give a timeline of all past releases based on these numbers (always extending out). can't do that when there's no hard numbers at all to go on. 50% of scenes means nothing here really.

at any rate it's whatever. I'll just fuck off for a year and hope it's released by then lol

Vinny my guest, Burke and manger but think the biggest risk of something bad happening is with Vinny

I'm betting on Magnar; he's behind the war between the frats and has revealed himself as the eminence grise.
Vinny is possibly the final boss of Season 3. I don't see Burke as an antagonist for the MC at all – he has his own motives: to make as much money as possible by divorcing his wife. Buddy is an antagonist for Quinn's route, MC is not interact there at all.

I see what you did there.

I'm betting on Magnar; he's behind the war between the frats and has revealed himself as the eminence grise.

I've had it in my head for a while now that everyone teaming up against Magnar to "save the frats" would be a nice ending.

Instead of them all being at each others throats, they unite against a common threat and hopefully bury the hatchet to some extent.

DPC: "Man, this halloween animation will be BUSSIN! 6 months work well spent."

Grok: "Yeah, here you go, 10 seconds, what's next?"

I wonder how his dirty plan gonna be revealed. Now they have zero evidence against Magnar.

Yeah I find it quite difficult to speculate without knowing how many more episodes we have/what episode the main plot will end and the epilogue will start. Difficult to think of the order that these remaining plot threads will be tackled...

Had this rough idea back in June though for the Magnar stuff:

I guess we'll have to wait and see how episode 12 pans out.

I've posed the idea before of a "gather your allies" scenario that could take place to bring down Magnar and the BETAS, based on your prior interactions you will get the support of the main girls who have become close friends, the DIKS, maybe the HOTs, Nick if you have been sympathetic to him, Chad and Troy etc. I think this could build up to a cool "finale" for the main plot.

Maybe the drugs aspect of the main plot will be mostly dealt with by Quinn but I feel like the meeting with Vinny at Halloween has to have some kind of payoff.

I think this arc is too early for finishing, and in Ep.12 all we will have is another escalation between frats, Magnar fight should be postponed at Season 4.
Maybe DPC revealed him too early.

I agree that episode 12 would be too early for that plot to get wrapped-up.

I suppose the worry is that dragging it out to episode 14 or something like that would feel like it has overstayed its welcome. We'll just have to wait and see what order these remaining plot threads get tackled.

it will be interesting how eps are left with dpc hinting there could only be one to two more

Or maybe Magnar is not a main villain at all. Maybe someone else still in the shadows, remember how Leah in AL was revealed.

That's DPC, he'll always come up with something new to add. He said he had a vision for the game up to and including Episode 14, so that number can be considered a minimum.

There was a dealer that Rox ousted, Eli, the name is only mentioned once. I’ve been curious who would have cut the product wrong and whether it was on purpose. My thoughts are that Eli could have taken revenge on Rox for having Buddy cut him out and shorting him on cash. Lana was collateral. Probably not; but something I noticed reading this time through.

 

[Roger-a-Dale]

I'd expect the fratwar to only start (or resume) near the end of ep 12. There will be a first skirmish and its aftermath is mostly a cliffhanger. The details probably depend a lot on whether you go to the tournament or the faculty party. In one your success is the humiliation of the alphas and in the other you humiliate the preps. Some kind of third option for not going to either or failing at the one you go to.

Mostly Sage will be pissed because she was trying to keep something like that from happening and we will have to wait two more years to see what happens next.

right he did say he knows up to 14 or something like that

Who profited most from Rox's death? Buddy, who had become the gang's drug dealer. It was Buddy who laced Rox's drugs with a lethal dose of fentanyl. Rox sold part of his shipment to Jonathan, which killed Lana.

 

[Malshandir]

It is an very good work.
The storyline is nice but in my opinion it was in season one and two better.
Season 3 can develop the family conflicts in deep.

What i am a little bit wondering about, they are all friends, how could it be when the main male must decide who he wants in the end.

Maya, Josy and MC fits together and can come to an arrongement,
Well I do not think that Sage can tolerant this on the long term, she is someone who would develop a long term relationship-
Jill is in my opinion a character what needs more depth, she is literally dump.

I am hoping for more a sideline to Quinn, helping ehr to get out of the trouble she is.

Buddy or Vinny will be shot. It's the Acting Lessons effect. Someone has to die

The Acting Lessons effect is that someone the audience likes has to die.

If either (or both) of those two scumbags die, I don't think any of the readers will be sad.
