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

[aexiel]

I also always do my first playthrough completely blind. I have a specific save for that, my canon playthrough. I choose as if I were in the story. Then I branch out from there doing LI-specific or alignment-specific playthroughs. Finally, I use the official walkthrough to pick up any scenes that I missed or if I want to redo parts of a playthrough to get the best content with a certain girl. I paid for both season 1 and the official walkthrough on steam, so I don't feel like I was cheating or ripping off the dev.

I never use porn game mods, but I don't have the visceral hatred for them that some people seem to have. If someone wants to use a mod, who cares? I don't see why a dev should get that bent out of shape about it. Once a game travels off into the ether of the internet, you can't control what happens to it, so why lose sleep over it? People are going to jack your code, your renders, your story ideas...and of course pirate it no matter how much you fight against it.

In DPC's case, if he just simply enjoys writing mod-killing code for fun, then I guess that's fine, but if he is doing it because he truly hates mods and thinks he can somehow discourage or put a stop them, well then
He must view it as a vandal coming in and throwing a bucket of blood red paint all over his Mona Lisa.

I don't think DPC is that big of a dick. If I was a game dev, I'd put a troll code for anyone who wants to cheat, pirate, or speed run my game. Though, breaking it completely is a bit much.

You're actually wrong though. He actively does put in code to kill mods. Oscarsixes mod works because he breaks that code with every update. Dunno why DPC is so opposed to mods but he is.

I just have to get something off my chest. This has been bothering me for a long time, but I've always dismissed it as a DPC rendering error. But I am always in doubt. If these images turn out to be true, it's really bad for Maya.

Take a look at these screenshots.

Screenshot 1: Maya looks normal, except for her left arm. It is twisted somehow.

Screenshot 2: Maya has her left arm in normal position. However, the arm shows a kind of bruise in the elbow area and at the wrist as well. Somehow Maya's left side of her face looks strange. As if she was spat at.

If it was just one picture, I would definitely not doubt that it is a render error. But there are a number of these images following, which actually speaks against a mistake.

Is Patrick abusing Maya?

Only thing I could see was a birth mark on Maya's lower cheek right above her lips however with a chest like that who has time to look at arms

I don't know if anyone has done this before, but I'll try to predict the plot and story sequence based on all the previews. I'm bored too!

No.10 looks weird, Jades arms look too small.

Yeah, some of DPC's renders can be a tad off when it comes to head and shoulder sizes.

First of all, great ass Camila. Second, I like the way DPC uses the balloon to block out the [don't] portion of the HOTs motto. It's a forewarning on what is about to happen. It's a nice touch that most devs wouldn't take the time to think up and include.

№8. Josy?

The sex scene with the mystery girl, presumably Josy. I assume the player will have a choice: anal with Josy or help Maya. It's very much in the spirit of the developer. But chronologically, this scene is knocked out, too.

Leg doesn't seem tanned enough to be Josy.

Looks like Lily's leg.

11. Jill.

Latest preview. More like a date. I wonder if it's a date before or after the concert. What if we have to choose between going to Jade's and fucking her hot pussy or spending a nice evening with Jill, rehearsing with her and getting ready for the concert?

I wish all my choices in life were this easy

He would join them in not gay way.

"Say that you a lesbian, girl me too"

Let me show you an example of what could be a clue from DPC.

MASSIVE DIK: Jimmy and Tommy. However, Tommy is moving toward Huge DIK because he has crossed the line. You shouldn't fight Caleb either. Caleb humiliated Tommy and insults all DIKs. It would be a double humiliation for Tommy if the MC fights Caleb and also passes against him. But with Caleb's attack on Tommy, all the DIKs are brought down to earth. This is basically setting up for the mini-fight when the mansion is repaired.

HUGE DIK: Dawe is and always will be an asshole.

DIK: None.

NEUTRAL: That's interesting. We're seeing Anthony. Okay, fine. But the MC is right across from him. Anthony doesn't need any more punches. He's neutralized.

CHICK: None.

HUGE CHICK: Caleb? Yes, yes, of course. That's why the MC shouldn't hit him, because then he might slide further towards DIK.

MASSIVE CHICK: Darius is a surprise even to me. But John is interesting. Here you can see what happens when the MC hits someone. John is not quite such a massive chick anymore and is moving towards DIK. This was probably triggered because I had my MC fight the Jocks in EP2.

By having the MC fight Anthony, we see what it takes to be president. NEUTRALITY. But Anthony is still a wimp. Because the MC has a chance to get to a special kind of neutrality.

DIK/NEUTRAL/CHICK

 

[Deleted member 4143502]

I can't tell if this is a joke or not. This dalli guy for real?

 

[znar25]

Theory: I think MC should fight Caleb. No other DIK was willing to do that and it puts you up as leader material in the DIKs.
Also when sometime later Tommy hits you, hit him back with everything you have.

This affinity system doesn't apply on other characters, it is only for MC. Unless you are trying to say something else.

And all Jocks are shit, none excluded.

 

[Jazzmatazz]

In my humble opinion....this game is absolutely one of the best there is..

 

[KoolMe]

Interesting I didn't know that, thx for the information.
Regardless I'm on his side on this one , so I don't think he should get any shit on him.
And that part is way more likely on this matter than the usual, he is a control freak, not that him being a control freak is actually a bad thing .
not that I'm saying that if HE would be able to pay for denuvo he would not use it.
But yeah in this modding shit, he just don't want to deal with the complaint I Fully support that. .

IF it was me, I would make sure that these " cheaters " somehow won't be able to finish the game,

would you like to live in a world where your beard trimmer shocks your balls with 50k volts if shave your pubes with it
or if Apple makes you a sex offender if you play porn games on a mac meant to play apple arcade and watch pornhub

What you see is the DIK scale and not the AFFINITY. The affinity is only for the MC, but with the DIK scale other characters could be influenced by the MC. The DIK scale could be a ART of control for the other characters.

I don't know of course, but such a system would bring the VN to an interesting level and we all know that DPC likes to set new standards.

Oddly specific, but I'll allow it.

You're goddamn right. This guy gets it. There will be no mercy, no matter how amazing of a dancer Anthony is.

I do find it peculiar that DPC is trying to make some of the jocks more likeable in recent episodes. What has he got up his sleeve I wonder? Anthony was quite the douche in earlier episodes. Not as bad as the rest, but now he is trying to break up fights, distance himself from Dawe's antics, and is being respectful to Ashley and even MC. Then of course we have DPC working hard to give Chad a mountain of sympathy points. What's next, a change of heart from Tybalt? Dude better leave at least Caleb and OnePunchAlex as baddies. I won't tolerate any more jock redemption stories; I need someone left to fight.

 

[PashafromRussia]

Much worse, he's German. And all Germans have a nasty habit. When they start to get into something, a little Emmanuel Kant wakes up in them and one sentence turns into Kritik der reinen Vernunfty.

that's a pretty classic "trick" in storytelling, a villain without redemption becomes boring and we always know what to expect from him, while a villain with a soul always leaves us in doubt, we always expect redemption or at least remains less predictable

I don't understand the support for Anthony, ok, he's definitely the least violent Jocks, but first he has a relationship with his best friend's girlfriend, and then he abandons both of them for a new love.

Derek is almost better

Yes, but it's too early in the story to start making every antagonist a "good guy." We're not quite at the midway point of the game. And I don't know how many more villain characters (or characters in general) DPC can keep adding. It's an insane number people for him to keep track of and write back stories for at this point.

I would also argue that the full jock redemption is a little too expected...just as the secretly gay jock. If DPC really wanted to throw in a twist, he should make Chad legit bisexual who not only cheated on Sage with Troy, but also cheated with Melanie. It's something different and it would not be the cliché complete baddie to complete good switch. Shades of gray are more interesting I say. All of the recent Chad stans would have to take a step back and

Regarding Anthony, it's the dancing bro. DPC got people with Quinn by adding sad music and sympathetic looks. He got people with Chad by making him gay...and sympathetic looks. Now, he snagged more people with some NOICE dance moves from Ant man.

You had to go there didn't you.

but BADIK doesn't need a nemesis, after all, a lot of interesting things happen at that age without the need to meet Satan himself.

for now we have either buffoons (Burke and Tybalt) or super suffering emo (Quinn, Chad etc).

the only one who retains his villain aura is Patrick, but even his rendition I almost take for granted.

I don't often get to compliment Derek....
