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

[TajaRrR]

There might be a chance that Rio could have be stalked by two guys right one that got caught and one from viney camp.

Yea I'm thinking that, maybe DPC let as catch one of them only for the player to forget about it and move on and that might be twist when the original stalker will show up.

 

[mindern]

instead, surprisingly, when Bella dumps MC because of Cathe, it's one of the least dramatic moments of the game, a completely cerebral breakup without any emotional jolt, neither from Bella nor from MC

I personally took it as her reverting to full blown Ice Queen. She was coming out of her shell a little with the MC and this jolted her back to what she was at the start of the game. Cold, distant... pragmatic.

Obviously that is just my take. The game doesn't go out of its way to prove she's reverted (she's the same afterwards regardless of that betrayal) so it just as easily could be lazy writing but if we're being generous it could have been deliberate.

10/10 would tap that only if Josy didn't come along with the emotional baggage that is Maya. So my Josy-solo playthrough will wait for the Josy solo option until it's available.

That scene was probably DPC trying to be like George R. R. Martin once again, not realizing that pulling the same stuff over and over again is getting stale and predictable. I knew something weird was coming as soon as Cathy took off her panties before the blowjob (the logic is so hard to find in that scene, that even the gods of theorycrafting Warscared and dalli_x didn't even comment it).

The difference is that George R. R. Martin's shocking scenes are hinted in foresight, like if you look into the details of the story, you might see it ahead of time. DPC's shocking stuff (especially in AL), are super out-of-nowhere, like he just does it even if it doesn't make sense and he's going to be like, oh I wanted to have that emotional effect (and get offended when people diss him for the execution of the swerve). Like he has to realize not everything in the story has to be a swerve (what is this supposed to be? Late 1999 WCW?) and some stories are better told straight up.

Like Shakespeare wrote a lot of shocking stuff and he didn't pull a swerve every chapter, and what do you know - the guy ends up being the most well-known author in history. Plus he was kind of obsessed with killing off characters (for example, like only 2 people survive in Hamlet).

P.S: Do you know what else has like a lot of death in it? The Bible. Like EVERYONE dies in that thing. Like Death dies in the Bible. Idk, if DPC would go that far, but I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to outdo the Bible.

I'm a sucker for "it's just sex nothing more, it's not like I love you or anything". So yeah, the converstation below was my reward:

Now that's a really long phone.

 

[J.A.L.]

At the beginning of the game, even before the "Hell Week", Sally is at the DIK´s dancing with Jamie, I think... Obviously, Magnar is not around. I think that´s the "problem in the paradise", and not the theories about being Sally pregnant. Magnar only wants to study and play Dungeons an Gremblins, and is not even invited to the parties, but Sally has a wild side and likes to party too... I think the problem is Sally is finding Magnar too boring.

Jill didn't know that her boobs were hanging out, so she's innocent.

Don't be jealous man.

Jill knows that my MC will fuck Bianca when he gets the first chance

DPC deleted his original account in Aug 2018, after being constantly harassed about how episode 0.5 ended (long before AL ended).


Then created a new account in Nov 2018, after the heat about episode 0.6 had died down a bit and he'd started the switch to BaDIK. But the harassment followed him into BaDIK, extending as far as death threats:

So of course he racked off to other channels where he doesn't have to suffer that sort of bullshit & nukes the account of anyone that pisses him off. He last posted here Jun 2019.

Doesn't seem counter intuitive to me, I wouldn't put up with that either.

Not easily.

On Windows Ren'Py stores saves in two places, the game\saves folder and %appdata%\RenPy\BeingaDIK-1535311494

You need to remove your saves and persistent file from both places to get a fresh start.

No

One option would be to install the (all three), which should over-ride the official 0.8.2 patch so your patched game will work again.

Damn man... Ffs AL was just a game... You like it or not... Okay, I may understand to insult the dev... But life threats? Honestly I understand him now why he doesn't want to see anybody mentioning about

My mc is covered.


It isn't a porn game though it is an adult VN. I think you guys gets things messed up sometimes. You went to play that game expecting for porn, but got something else totally different. In adult novels, people die, people have sex. The difference is that this one (Virtual novels) you have graphics to back up the story. We have a lot of bad porn vns out there, that is only for porn, and others that are made for the story. That is why I like Summer's gone. It has 0 porn so far but it is very rewarding from the writing.
I know that AL wasn't easy to diggest, but that is fucking good VN. If it wasn't for that game I wouldn't give all credits I give to DPC now. I only played that game once, got it on steam, uninstalled after, never tried different gameplays, but yet, it was totally worth it, because that shit made me rethink about many things in my life.
The problem is that most of people, when they see "Adult VN" they automatically think about sex only without even care about the plot or the story. That is why most of games are of a boy who lives with his mother/stepmom/landllady or whatever and fucks her, his sisters and his friends. That shit is annoying as fuck. I don't want to fuck my family over and over again.
It is because of poeple who criticize DPC that all other novels are the same. Empty and with some sexual graphics that won't even make sense to the story. If I want that, I can just watch some porn on pornhub.

Or DeLuca Family...

General news
It's not Friday, but I wanted to post an update on what's been going on lately.

First off, I want to thank everyone for reporting bugs and typos.

I recently released the v0.8.2 patch, where I tried to fix as much as possible at once.

It's likely not the final version of Season 1 and Season 2, but hopefully, all big bugs and issues have been dealt with.

If you notice bugs that haven't been fixed, keep on reporting them, and I'll have a look at them.

Steam and GOG testing for Season 2 is going well, and I've been working on managing the GOG release as well as a patch update for Steam.

And now that all platforms have gotten the latest update with bug fixes, I can increase the focus on game development, alongside beta testing for the Season 2 release.

Episode Interlude
I have been writing and planning the interlude, I'm trying to box in the events I want in it, and it's going well. I'm very pleased with the writing so far, and I can't wait to continue.

My PCs have been rendering some longer animations lately, and I've also started posing static renders.

It's tough to estimate how long the interlude will be in gameplay. I aim for a 40-60 minutes duration for an average player.

Overall, it will feel interesting, fresh, and different than the previous episodes in several ways.

She'll probably become less hostile to MC like Heather over the next episode or so

Surely it won't take 3 months to create 1 hr game right?

40-60 minutes long, for those who said that the interlude would be like the prologues of each episode.
My first impression was April for the interlude, but seeing that it's going to be quite long but with no choices, no branch, just animations and renders, maybe February March is quite possible.
If I still believe that episode 9 will take at least the same time as episode 8, so we would have it for September/October...

I can't speak for others, but when I said I thought the Interlude will be like a prologue, I meant it in terms of structure and storytelling only, not in terms of size obviously. I still think it will be like the prologues, but bigger.
