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

[SpearOfReigns]

Cause he started like this , lesser updates in a year and less quality updates , anyway we will see this in future.

Except BaDIK interval between updates is getting longer because DPC decides to put more content in one episode, not because he decides to turn his render farm into cryptofarm. See this chart below:

Updated BigTable™ with the recent informations.

• Compared to EP7 with about +200 renders, we are from 84% to 90% close.
• Last week DPC had an objective of +32% total animation (+80/330) and like a champ it's done with 337;
  The man still hungry to push into +40% with about 350 total, meaning a +100 animation threshold.
• 3 weeks left; regarding the Recent Average release time. DPC is a crunch time monster, i'm still confident.
  My table count posed = done; as to me he can beta-test without needing all of them rendered yet.

I don't care another devs and games I love this game and I can criticize what I want , calling me fool ? you are just a kid who can't stand peoples opinion.. Mind your manners !

It's not about calling you fool bro. He intent to tell you that your information is wrong. Philly and DPC both great and are totaly different in their own way. About the game content and animation is never less but have grown in size not to mention great quality for both devs. yes you can share your opinion as you see fit it's your right but you see it's two way street.

Except BaDIK interval between updates is getting longer because DPC decides to put more content in one episode, not because he decides to turn his render farm into cryptofarm. See this chart below:

Thanks for that !

Josy and Maya are having a date at the pool. I think this refers to the first half of the update, when Josy and Maya are trying to establish a relationship. But in the end, we are waiting for a terrible choice. I am almost sure of this and the hero chick can not influence it in any way.

Just look at these happy faces! DPC, you can't fool me! I know what kind of shit you want to pull off! At the end of the game, we have to choose between Maya and Josy!!
akdomino how says in Russia: A hundred faint-hearted people will not replace one brave one !

Well explained .

 

[Icekatana]

Thank god, Josy's dominance in the Host is not threatened, yet
A little road trip, between three of them ? I wonder where is this, may be in the same place where Maya was, that seems a different school or something

But I'm starting to be nervous about the Halloween party. If I can'T fuck Josy in her catwoman or Slave Leia outfit, I would be Mad

What if Josy goes to the party as Lara Croft? Would that sate you? It certainly would me.

When I first saw this Maya preview I instantly thought that she was going as a pumpkin to the Halloween party. That really doesn't fit, but that was my first instinct anyway.

 

[ename144]

In her defence, while she clearly understands that Tybalt is interested in her (and she doesn't return that interest), she doesn't get it that he's a lying, sneaky, cunt of a loser who enjoys sniffing her stolen underwear and fucks a watermelon with her photo on it. I mean, give her a break, we've all been there, amirite?

But things are changing, she's starting to see him in a new light. That presentation of his (mc phallus incorporated or not) got her thinking about how full of shit he was (when he was dissing Bella's neighbourhood).

What doesn't twig is that when the mc denies there was any fire she had a clear case of "some one is lying":

• Either the mc is lying and he tried to burn down the mansion and is now denying it (there's a relationship red flag if ever there was one, she'd just need to play Acting Lessons to learn that porn games and fire are not a good combo); or
• Tybalt is lying, and we're not talking about a misunderstanding, he specifically told her that he rushed to the fire and put it out with his jacket.

So yeah, after the mc's contradicts Tybalt's bald-faced lie and his bullshit about Bella's neighbourhood (and even that fucked up selfie her posted of them to Rooster), she's gotta start mistrusting that fucker.

All the mc needs to do to end this is tell Jill to look in Tybalt's bed drawer. When she sees that watermelon with her underwear and photo...

Spoiler: She's gonna flip out!

The MC's denial doesn't necessarily prove Tybalt was flat-out lying. The MC denies there was a fire but also admits Derek (or both of them) triggered the fire alarm somehow. It wouldn't be unreasonable for Jill to think both stories could be true: the MC had no intention to burn the place down, but he did set a small fire that Tybalt later found and "heroically" extinguished.

I could almost buy Jill's actions if she was knuckling under because she thought the situation was murky enough that the MC would have a hard time defending himself from Tybalt's army of lawyers. The problem is that Episode 7 makes it very clear that Jill is uncomfortable with Tybalt's dates and is desperate for a way out of them. At that point there's no excuse for Jill to blindly accept everything Tybalt has said given she has no interest in playing by the rules she agreed to. Yet she still makes zero effort to investigate the underlying case.

Man, I hate this subplot. It just gets worse the longer it's dragged out. I sincerely hope Episode 8 puts it out of our misery for good.

When is the next update?

really an intuitive girl.....

It seems obvious to me that Jill, at least initially, likes Tybalt, certainly not sexually, but who has Jill ever liked sexually?

When Tybalt tells her that he intervened on MC's behalf with the other Preps she believes him and is even grateful for it. do you think there is anyone else in the whole BR who would have believed him? maybe Arieth

DPC in the sixth chapter killed Jill's character with a sudden lobotomy without anaesthetic.

 

[EfontMan]

It wouldn't be unreasonable for Jill to think both stories could be true

Easily nipped in the bud by the game letting the player explain exactly what happened. It's one of the primary reason these sorts of plots that constantly crop up in games are so contrived. Because in the real world you'd solve the issue in 30 seconds with a simple conversation. But a developer is able to stretch this shit out for an entire game.

well, in short, it would be quite strange for someone accused of starting a fire not to mention that at most it was a small flame to operate the sprinkler system. MC expressly denies that he participated in any fire, he does not discuss the size of the fire.

Jill is then free to doubt his word, and would have every reason to, if she believed Tybalt to be trustworthy.

From me, to you!!!

Oh yes, one day disconnected from the network and I come back and find this

DPC itself has written that BaD will not be as dark as AL.

A guy writes a story where you can fall in love with two girls and then be forced choose one, leaving the other to suffer a horrible death.

What kind of guy does that to his player base?!

Then the same guy tells you, "Trust me, this new game won't do that to you... "

Are you gonna trust that kind of person? Could it be he's just getting your guard down so he can cut twice as deep!

...Nah, it'll be fine...

6 months for an 1 update !? , lol here you go newborn [ICSTOR] ladies and gentlemen.

Cause he started like this , lesser updates in a year and less quality updates , anyway we will see this in future.

I wasn't gonna say anything, but since you're still going on about it... You've got "What a Legend" and "Being a DIK" in your signature:

• What a Legend's last release was in Feb and it was about 30-60 minutes of nothing much.
• Being a DIK's last release was in April (just under 5 months ago) and it was a momentous release, dwarfing all other releases of any game on this site.
• Icstor didn't release anything for a couple of years and continued to accept money while doing fuck all. He finally released something recently and it was shit.

DPC works longer hours on this game than most people do at their fulltime job (because this game is his fulltime job and he's probably fucking insane). Icstor has been crying about some mental issues for a couple of years or so.

So yeah, don't compare DPC to Icstor other than to suggest they have completely different work ethics. One writes stories that have a huge emotional pull with characters that you care for, the other writes stories where you fuck your family in their sleep.

 

[rem3403]

Then why did you compare him to Icstor ?

No comparison....pinkcake is way better than Icstor in my opinion.

 

[Bateman22]

So, perview #10 has been the last one? Not including special renders.

Thanks!

So, perview #10 has been the last one? Not including special renders.

Thanks!

No the latest one was preview #11 and there are two special renders for Sage as well. You can find them here: -

All Ep8 Preview's so far...

Teases...

Animations...

Special Renders...

Edit: You should open the direct post since expanding it won't show you 2 Teases.

I also don't think that there will be dark endings like in AL. But I admit that they will be no less dramatic. For example, Maya can be sent to a monastery.
As dalli_x has already noticed, every girl has a potential romantic interest.
Josy - Maya/Jill/Lucas/Tommy/Derek.
Maya - Josy/Sage.
Jill - Bella/Tybalt/Rusty.
Bella - James/Jill.
Sage - Rusty/Tommy/Chad.
This is done so that you could regret his choice. Like, your potential girlfriend is dating someone else.
I am more than sure that if we leave Jill, she will start dating Tybalt and he will turn out to be a good guy and will help us.

 

[EfontMan]

Maya can be sent to a monastery

I would be highly surprised if Maya ends up in a monastery. The only leverage her father has over her is the money for tuition. She's otherwise an adult and not likely to be subject to sudden monastery interment.

True, women tend not to, what with monks being celebate and all

ok gonna stop you right there

 

[EfontMan]

True, women tend not to, what with monks being celebate and all

I was using the stated example. But feel free to substitue with a nunnery or other appropriate religious institution.

 

[TuffyTenToes]

I hope the next preview shows the Halloween party, it's safe to say that it will be the biggest free roam event in the game so far, right?

Y'all...

I didn't know Dawe was moonlighting for Brazzers...
