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

[MaK1N]

hello everyone
anyone knows when is the new update ?

 

[Ottoeight]

Oh, so in order to help her I have to be on one of the two routes? Can I do it without having spend time with them?

I can tell you that I played a Sage solo route - pursuing Sage only - and a Maya-Josy solo route and I was able to help Jill at her concert. God only knows why you aren't.

(simplest explanation: it might be the mod, dude)

Maybe he skipped the scene where Jill plays piano and MC takes a picture of the music score - I don't remember whether the scene in which MC photographs the music score is avoidable.

not sure (as I play jill-related scenes with tab ), but I believe it happens when fuckface trespasses into the mansion with his guitar
but I'm pretty sure the scene is unavoidable

^ This guy.... don't you dare bud. It has absolutely nothing to do with the mod.

I have no explanation, except the simplest: he just forgot to play guitar.

Did you avoid Jill and Bella?
And I've already played without mods and the outcome is still the same. Maybe Jill/Bella doesn't like Tremolo and that's the reason why I can't play in her recital, otherwhise I don't understand why I can't help her.

DPC's latest status update has dropped. Not my place to post here, but I know N7 or someone will soon. At any rate, the update gives the impression that a TON of work has been done and the episode is getting close to completion, but it also sounds like several more weeks of work are still required. I suppose that means an end-of-October/early November release is still very plausible. At any rate, episode 9 is going to be a colossus. DPC also estimated that 10 different saves will be needed to see all the episode 9 content. Looks like I'll need to create a few more saves as I do not have that many!

Ability to play guitar in ep6 depends on whether you've told Jill you're a nice guy during the mandatory date with her:

elif result == "guitar":
    if ep4_jillNiceGuy:
        menu:
            "Practice song for Jill" if True:
                jump ep6_diks_guitar_event_label
            "Don't practice" if True:
                jump ep6_freeroam_diks_library_label

Same with being able to use the guitar in EP.8:

if ep4_jillNiceGuy and not ep8_diks_guitar_event:
    $ ui.imagebutton("ep8_freeroam_diks_library_guitar_idle", "ep8_freeroam_diks_library_guitar_hover", clicked=ui.returns("guitar"), xpos=0, ypos=0, focus_mask=True)

(the 'nice guy' variable is also set to true by default, but it'll be set to false if you tell Jill you don't think you're good for her. You can check which option you've taken in Jill's bio in your phone)

Status update Episode 9

This is the progress since Monday's delayed update.

The long 1 min 23 s animation is finally done, and I couldn't be more proud. I've put it together and added music/sound effects to it and probably watched it 20 times, smiling and thinking about how long way we've come. I never imagined I'd be able to do something like this in the past, and now it's what I want more of in the future.

3820 static renders, including the render queue, have been posed. Since Monday, I have posed around 10 animations too.

I worked on some lewd scenes that needed art, and I've also been working on renders for the episode's ending. I don't work in chronological order, though.

Yesterday, I spent all day playtesting three of the branches. I fixed errors that I spotted and made a to-do list of things that needed to be polished.

The feel of the episode is good, but it's still very rough, and it's tough getting a complete picture when many scenes are missing. I can't play everything from start to finish as the final free roam event isn't completed, and I can't test the produced scenes of the final free roam event without messing up the flow.

I will go back to making art today but seeing the current status of those three playthroughs was a good indicator. Something I liked, in particular, was how the branches felt different and unique in many areas.

I think it's safe to say that there are at least 3 hours of playtime for any given playthrough if you're not rushing through the episode. I estimate that you need at least 10 different and particular save files to see everything, which is nuts.
I played without mini-games, too, and I know that the party planning mini-game will add quite a lot of extra playtime, depending on your ambition.

Have a nice weekend

I believe the gallery and such data isn't actually kept in the save files, but in file called persistent in the mentioned %appdata% folder.

 

[FappingWorldwide]

I've been collecting various screenshots from the game, partly to help me remember various details as the story progresses, but also to save great scenes. This has also resulted in a couple compilations of certain characters and or other themes. I don't know if they will be of any interest to the people going through this thread, so I'll test the waters with this post. I will then possibly add other compilations at later dates, in order to not spam. Alternatively i might just upload the lot to Imgur, and drop a link and or make a post on the subreddit.

Without further ado, Comp 1: Being a twin.

Just imagine, nearly 90 seconds of that exclusive Madame content.

 

[wakkawalla]

an 83 second animation of madame nursing fuckface is impressive and ambitious, can't wait

Not three hours, more. Ep 8 took me 4.5 hours to complete for the first time, and given that Ep 9 will be even longer...
About ten saves - PinkCake, how did you guess?

 

[Laport Deminis]

Classic mirror thinking.

and now it's what I want more of in the future.

Am I the only one afraid of this?
