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

[N7]

Status update Episode 7

This week I've been writing dialogue and coding phone and free roam content.

I haven't posed many static renders, but I did pose all animations for one lewd scene, and they are currently rendering.

There are 13 animations in the queue, and 173 animations are completed. The duration of the completed animations, so far, is 12 min 15 s; roughly 3.5 minutes longer than episode 6.

I have 2 ½ planned lewd scenes left to pose for, so I will likely overshoot last week's estimate a bit. 200-230 animations total for episode 7 is the new estimation.

Next week, I will continue to write the story and code.

I'm making good progress, but there's a lot left to do under the hood despite the high render and animation count.

So, let me try to paint a picture of the current state of the code for you.

The update's main file has ~7100 lines of code; it can be compared to episode 6 with ~11100.

The free roam code of episode 7 has ~6300 lines; it can be compared to episode 6 with ~5200.

I've mapped out most events in the update, and I have ~30 scenes (normal scenes and including any free roam events and/or hangouts) left to write and pose art for.

The episode will likely be bigger than episode 6 when I'm finished.

The reason updates are getting bigger is that I don't want to cut any story content to fit a deadline.

I'm not counting the lines of code written for the new feature I revealed a few weeks ago (I won't spoil what it is if you chose not to read that update), but content-wise, it has ~600 GUI elements (Rendered and/or photoshopped) and 73 script files.

I hope this gave you a slightly better understanding of what's going on when I say that I'm writing/coding.

In poll news, Titty sucking and Groping/Squeezing won the recent poll for animation types. They will get featured in a lewd scene in episode 7.

Have a nice weekend

is there a walkthrough in order to efficiently get all/most of the sexual scenes?

I don't know about the specific walkthrough, but getting all the scenes is no easy task (in one sitting) unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you view it. Without a doubt, you need multiple playthroughs to achieve a fully open board of scenes. At the very least I recommend a CHICK, Neutral, and DIK. Most of the lewd scenes come with being a DIK, obviously.

I have one save for each main LI, (full CHICK run is with Jill so that kills two birds with one stone), one DIK canon with Sage (again two birds), one fully DIK manwhore, with a few others sprinkled in. From there I add additional playthroughs as necessary such as if I think it may open up more scenes to me in the future. Ex. I may have to add one DIK save for Quinn if she creeps any further towards being a main LI (don't want to miss any sweet anal scenes per Darkdevil66). You don't need that many, but I'm a little obsessive apparently.

Hoping for Sage, but probably will be Bella. Win either way I suppose.
Better not be fucking Elena though.

I was going to say Sally, but then I wouldn't mind suckling them little bitties.

I also haven't said anything about M&J being the main relationship. When I talked about DPC possibly "not allowing for there to be an endgame relationship for the main pursuable love/romantic interests", I meant that in a broad term encompassing all main LIs (Maya, Josy, Jill, Sage, Bella) and that if there were no way to end up with any of these characters, I would view that as a failure of game design because a major aspect, if not the major aspect, is for there to be achievable paths for all main LIs.

This is where I feel the issue with AL lies. It subverted this unwritten rule and is perhaps the primary reason why that game is so controversial. DPC, it would seem, wanted this subversion and it certainly got them noticed as a result and gave them a lot of notoriety, but now that they've done that and have all this support, there's no reason to do it again. There's also a big difference here between M&J and M&M which is that, with M&M, that relationship with both of them was just about to start, whereas with M&J, the expectation would be that it will go quite far with both of them together, so you'd be much deeper in to that relationship if the rug were pulled out from under you, and that's much worse.

But even if it's not them, what about Bella? Some people would argue, and have often said, that that relationship could be doomed to fail depending on what exactly is going on with her and James and if he were to re-enter the picture at some point. If that were to happen with Bella, or indeed with anyone else (Sage or Jill), where you invest so much time in the relationship and want to end with them but you can't, people would understandably rage at that, and it's no different for fans of the M&J relationship if that didn't work out no matter what.



Well, I don't reply to everything, if I did I really would be on here all day. But with lockdowns, working from home (although not much work at the moment), and there being nowhere to go, it is how I spend some of my time.



Being DIK or CHICK doesn't change the core of the MC, it just makes one side more inclined to be more of a "bro" than the other, but the MC's selflessness remains. Whatever side you're on, he's still the same guy who would want to help his Dad, who doesn't put much stock in being wealthy, and who helps out his friends wherever possible. The different affinities simply lock you in to what lewd scenes you'll get, but if a DIK or CHICK MC were to face a choice of giving their inheritance money to Maya or Quinn, that would be a choice that befits the nature of the MC's selflessness and isn't necessarily going to "the opposite side" as it's a universal moral quandry for them as to who deserves it more.

All you've done here is make a case for a relationship with Maya OR Josy, not with Maya AND Josy. It's still no guarantee, with any of the LI's, and I wouldn't rule out a scenario where the MC winds up alone. What I'm certain of though is that there will be no harem.

As to the MC's selflessness, as Felice has pointed out before, he would have to be a reincarnation of one of the saints or Gandhi to live up to the way you are describing him. That just doesn't seem at all probable.

Finally why wouldn't DPC continue to court the kind of controversy he has in the past? He's never said anything that would indicate that he feels any regret for the way he wrote AL. In fact I would say that a large part of his current success is due to his past notoriety.

Unless this poll was for some side content, my money is on Jill. It's the obvious next step for her; her tit's being unleashed, sucked and groped. Her character doesn't seem like someone who'd be thrilled about sucking a cock, but I've never come across a girl averse to their nipples being tongue teased.

Damn, how could I forget!
She just may have Elena beat. Research required. To the spank cave!

 

[Casmyr]

Sally? You guys keep forgetting about best girl Karen Rebecca Johnson

 

[Kellermann]

Sally? You guys keep forgetting about best girl Karen Rebecca Johnson

Yes, but this is for the title of the flattest chest. KRJ actually has a little something going on beneath those granny sweaters. And I'm determined to find out what before game end.

 

[n0cn1l]

So in the end EP7 will be bigger than EP6



Who is surprised?

 

[Casmyr]

Ep7 better have some jill content, we've already seen that she has great ball control because of tennis.

Don't you need cleavage to hide shit in there?

Sally probably saves a fortune by not having to buy bras. Allegedly bras are expensive

 

[Kellermann]

Wants....so....bad....to....say.....something.....about.....Jill's _______.



Restraining for the sake of the Jill fans.

That, and the sensual effects of nipple chaffing make sans bra such a enticing option...

Appreciate the restraint.

Now to counteract that unsaid shit you spewed, I think it's more that she enjoys sports where balls are flying at her face.

Who is surprised?

I believe that going forward it will be the rule. not in the sense of bigger and bigger episodes, but of episodes of greater magnitude than the first season

and I think it is also inevitable, if a minimum of content is to be assured to every player, it cannot be otherwise. the further we go, the greater the content "dedicated" only to some paths. in fact, in the latest updates DPC always ensures that there will be content for each LIs, animations for each of them, etc.

we'll get to 25 gigabytes ...

I'm pretty sure they're gonna be used for Jill or Bella, if not then Sally. The poll kinda spoil the surprise a bit, but my expectations weren't that high anyway, the titty sucking is already a good progress, particularly for Jill TBH, after playing NLT games like ToN and LE which cover a vast array of sexual positions and kinks, I find lewd scenes in BaDIK rather tame in comparison now, they can still manage to be hot though and they certainly have a more realistic approach.

“Doctor, I need you to give me another blowjob, because my dick is so big, my erections are causing syncope” isn’t realistic??

I'm actually expecting this a plot point. I can totally see that if James returns, Bella drops the MC as three years of wanting James back overtakes her. Temporarily, of course, if MC is on the Bella path. But still. Players will rage. I've been wondering just how big the shitstorm will be if that happens.
