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

[MelonGod]

I looked at the walkthrough and all it says is:

• Down > Down > Up > Magazine over the table (special render)

which leads me to the main area of Bellas house and I dont see any render on the table by the TV.

According to the walkthrough, you could also get that render in the 1st free roam event so if you got it there that's probably why it's not on the table. Although I'm not sure that explains the missing render, did you get the one on the white cabinet?

yea the only one I am missing is render #26 in the mixed renders category, as well as 27 (which comes from cooking), I just didnt want to move onto the cooking part without grabbing everything. This is a Sage playthrough so maybe it needs to come from a different route?

The only ideas I have left are the vault, a mini-game, or like you said it's from a different route. Other than that I'm stumped.

But that's the thing, DPC usually doesn't give a fuck what his supporters think. If it fits the story that he built up in his head, he's gonna do it. You think that if the Rusty banged Jill story fits in his plans and how he planned the story to move on, he's not going to do it because of the outrage of the Jill fans? I don't think so.

As for Chad and Sage, I think that Sage was enamored by him whenever they met and Chad needed something to hide his homosexuality, so Sage was his answer. Do I think that they've had sex before? Absolutely. But here's the thing, it wasn't enough for Sage and he preferred the company of Troy or whoever his lover is. So that forced Sage's hand to look for a fuckbuddy and somehow she ran into MC who already wanted to hit that.

Do I think Sage has had other fuckbuddies? Probably. We know from Jacob that Sage's parents are influental people and that she's doesn't have a very good relationship with them. It might be something connected to her behavior regarding the fuckbuddy thing, but that's a long stretch.

It seems difficult to me to think that a developer who lives off the donations of a group of people can remain impervious to their requests.

patrons have various ways of making their wishes heard even if there is no direct channel of communication. there are votes to choose clothes, requests for renders....

How many precautions is DPC taking to avoid the same dissatisfaction he had to register after AL? which was a much smaller and shorter game anyway.

if many patreons were to quit tomorrow, wouldn't that make him reconsider some of the choices he had made?

no one knows what the story is in his head, so no one could accuse him of giving up

alright I am gonna do another route on this pc anyways once I finish this so hopefully im able to grab it that time around. Might try the walkthrough mod but not sure since im already close to done with a route without the mod.

 

[felicemastronzo]

if it takes him another 7 years to make BADIK, I doubt he'll ever even get to 5 complete games...

 

[Holy Bacchus]

If DPC gets a decent library of around 10 solid games with 1 or 2 amazing ones even if his "work quality" decreases he will never loose his support base but if he betrays his vision then everyone can smell the shit!

He'l never be able to make that many. This one is probably going to take him as much as 7 years to complete. At that pace of production, you'd be lucky to just get one more game out of him.

Is there a way I can use the full save files for Mac ?

that is why i keep saying criticism is never helpful unless requested!

We're getting ahead of ourselves. We still have roughly around 5-6 years until the end of BaDIK. After he finishes this one, I really doubt he will jump right away to do another game. Perhaps he will take time off, to find inspiration and etc.

peoples don't support him because they want him to do what they demand. They Support him because They like what he is doing.

I'm hoping for a little divergence between M&J.

The premise of the game since the start was that we'd have to eventually go for one girl and for those of us who fell for Josy at first sight - well Maya has been the ultimate cockblocker unless you're also hot for Maya.

She's a nice enough girl and I'll always help her out as she's Dereks sister but I'm not feeling the love. Therefore my Josey save has the MC/Me being perhaps one of the absolute worst people in the game as he's stringing Maya along just for some booty time with her girlfriend.

 

[felicemastronzo]

so what?

if they don't like what he is doing anymore they will stop supporting him, or not? like every human being they will have desires and expectations, and they will certainly manifest them as possible, if they are Wendy fans they will ask for Wendy renders, and this can have an influence on Wendy's future appearances in the story.

it seems frankly inevitable to me, why would DPC want to disappoint them? at least in the small things

10 solid games

10 games
One can hope but hope doesn't do much

Important question: out of all the girls (side girls included) which ones are most likely to win in a fist fight? I feel like most people would say Quinn, but in my experience people like her are always the first to get knocked down lol. I'd personally give it to Bella, Jade (seems like the type to pull a knife out of her thong), Camilla, Josy (if she caught you by surprise or had Maya to help jump you), Jill, tentatively, you never know with people like her. It's always the peacemakers you gotta watch out for. And I'll also tentatively add Sage into the mix

I was gonna add Riona but she let Quinn smack the spit out of her mouth so I'm not sold on her yet. I'm sure there's more but my mind is suddenly blanking on everyone's names

Josy or Lily, speed and 'nastiness' beat strength most of the time.

Because his actions before shows that he doesn't seem to care about that.

The thing with DPC is that all we can do to try and get his style is AL. The VN where he did the incredibly unpopular idea to burn one of the LIs (of your choice) alive. Without an out. That shows that he has balls, not only that but he doesn't take any negative criticism well.

When you combine those two characteristics, you get a creator that isn't as afraid to pull the trigger and do something crazy in his stories.

 

[moxyy]

I think we're going to find out the truth the next episode, mate. I just hope DPC doesn't make someone interrupt us again.

If he pulls that shit again Bella fans are going to pay him a visit, just like someone apparently did this to ICSTOR asking him about updates

You got a point but being small doesn't necessarily mean you're fast. Lily strikes me as a smoker, her lungs probably aren't built for that. I do agree with Josy tho, she definitely wasn't fazed by Quinn being in her space at their first meeting

in my opinion his popularity then and now is not comparable, he had to get noticed then.

how much did he earn in the days of AL? they are too different situations.

i never said that DPC does whatever his patrons ask him to do, but to think that he is completely impervious to their pressures is wrong in my opinion. but it's not a criticism, it's simply the market.

DPc isn't painting the sistine chapel, he's making a game he wants to sell to as many people as possible, if organizing a threesome with two specific girls would make many of his fans happy, why wouldn't he please them? if they asked him for 10.000 renders of Zoey why wouldn't he make her reappear? even if it's just a flashback
