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

[Kodek]

Not by Ep 8 by the end of Ep 6 if we continue with 2 choices per Ep. Here is a screen shot of my affinity at the end of Ep 5 on my Pure Dik Major choices run. View attachment 698773 I'm probably going to have to start making Chick choices just so I can take Chick actions at some point here very quickly. Mathematically if he continues at the same rate through all of this we will be stuck with only 2 boxes by Ep 12. Either stuck in Neutral or in Massive DIK

And that, basically, is why a lot of people keep saying that the Affinity mechanic is flawed to a degree.
But i'm not trying to bring that argument to light again. Nope, no siree, not a chance o that.

I'm avoiding that one too. My feelings are already out there, why rehash the same shit

Hey guys, do we have this week's development update from DPC?

 

[xsssssssss]

I think it's going to be Envy, but I don't know how popular the girls are in Discord.

In the poll that i can see Envy is well ahead, though i'd much prefer to see any of others win.

But, just a doubt that i had, if this continues on like that what will happen after one bar disappears entirely?
The Neutral bar will be gone too? The other bar will start to lose sections?

After the answer, i will stop with this.

COUGH COUGH Sally/Karen Rebecah Johnson COUGH COUGH

Yeah no clue. Will have to see what DPC does. Hopefully he can add like me so he foresees the issue.

Me too. It's not about not liking Envy anyways, i quite like her (my favorite from the strippers if i had to choose).

It's more about wanting things to stay on B&R, i really doubt any Envy event will happen on B&R. For that, it will be needed to create a new scenario, maybe a motel or Envy's house and this will take way too much time i'd rather spent on the main scenario anyways.

I think the idea is that it eventually ends up with one bar remaining and that's who you are in the minds of the people around you. So if you end up a massive chick then you probably won't end up with Sage whereas a massive Dik will lose Maya, assuming of course that they don't change through the game, I have suggested that Sage may end up preferring the Chick Affinity whereas Josy seemed at the beginning to prefer Dik actions which may be relevent and a solo path.

All speculation though.

There wasn't one. DPC released a preview image a couple of days ago and info on a render poll today.

It will be interesting to see what happens after ep 6 because, based on Cndyrvr4lf's screenshot, if there are 2 more major choices in ep 6 and they make them in favour of DIK, then all CHICK nodules are gone, so what will will happen with major choices in ep 7? Will the game just automatically make the major DIK choice, or will choosing the CHICK choice add a nodule back on to the CHICK side?

COUGH COUGH Sally/Karen Rebecah Johnson COUGH COUGH

We need more KRJ, IT IS NEEDED. We need to make her forget all about hearing problems and conflict issues

Envy is okay although even with Jade in it trying to be neutral here but I think Sally deserves a chance here just because it's different we haven't had much of her.

Yeah but unless they refine the girls so far we have 1 that likes DIK actions and all the rest seem to prefer the CHICK side (main LI's)

I actually would put Josy on Neutral/DIK and Isabella on Neutral/CHICK

 

[Cndyrvr4lf]

I actually would put Josy on Neutral/DIK and Isabella on Neutral/CHICK

I'm just basing off off their minor choices likes/dislikes. Both Josy/Bella like Chick actions all the dik actions take away points from them. Neutral actions have never given RP. I know DPC has said RP isn't a make or break but it does affect some things

 

[liquid74]

Why does it say the latest version is 5.0 then below it has option to update from 4.0 to 5.1? What is the difference between 5.0 and 5.1? And why isn't 5.1 the main download then?

Bella's preferences never made much sense to me (Bella don't make too much sense to me, actually)
She prefers CHICK, but mostly interections with her needs you to be foward, like REALLY foward and that always seemed to be a DIK like attitude.

 

[BiblosProductions]

This is my favorite game of all times and actually inspired me on having my own project!
Thanks Mr. PinkCake, I'm your fan!

Josy on the poly route requires Chick Affinity but she also liked it when you drew dicks on Steve's employee of the month picture so she's more of a Dik than she let's on. And Bella may also be more of a Dik than we've seen in the present day based on the flashbacks. Is she pretending to be more straightlaced than she really is or too sad at her husband's absense to be herself?

It's a good mechanic actually because it rewards players who play their way. Let's say players decide early on to pursue Sage and, based on that decision, make every Dik choice available against their better judgement. Those players get punished for it, especially the ones who, if they preffered choices, would end up with her.

Or full DIK players are screwed. In AL at some point personality development stopped, affinity points with the girls and such. Maybe that's happening soon on here too.
