You know what, I intentionally pursued a Sage-only (meaning = rejecting everybody except her) DIK path and I ended up being locked into a permanent NEUTRAL affinity at the end of episode 8It's a balance thing, at that point you're 60% DIK, at 7 - 5 it's 58%. I think it's something like 0-40% = CHICK, 41-59% = NEUTRAL, 60-100% = DIK. It's deliberately difficult to keep a NEUTRAL affinity as it's the only affinity that maximizes the girl choices, the restaurant girls aren't interested in a CHICK, it's only Quinn who is locked out of neutral. Throuple and Jill are locked out from DIK affinity.
DrPinkCake posts development news on Friday. Come back here on Friday and check.Quick question: I used to jump on once a week or so and search for anything posted by N7 to get the latest updates, but they haven't posted in a while and I know there have been other updates and previews. Is there a key forum figure that I should be looking up instead these days? Thanks brothers.
I agree wholeheartedly which is why this game has become my little “guilty pleasure erotic/ romance/ witty/ nostalgic youth novel”. I’m not particularly excited for the sex scenes, even though that was what originally peaked my interest. I’ve become heavily invested in the story(ies), and that’s what I’m excited to see play out.There’s a quote from Stephen King that I like to use as a crutch to explain this kinda thing… obviously it’s being magnified through the lens that is porn logic but;
“Pop culture writing is about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Literature is about extraordinary people in ordinary circumstances.”
I *personally* think DPC is aiming for the former. He’s aiming for “ordinary people” in extraordinary situations + porn. No it isn’t iron clad but the characters are relatively grounded and just being put through (almost laughably) extraordinary situations.
No it isn’t realistic at all, no the “extraordinary situations” don’t really hold water but I (again, personally) find some level of amusement in seeing these relatively normal people deal with these extraordinary situations. That’s what I’m here for. The absurd situations just have to be taken with a pinch of salt to enjoy the meat of this which is how the characters behave and how our input changes that.
Just my take on this… my brief peek above the parapet.
Every Friday. Here's the most recent: https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-interlude-season-3-dr-pinkcake.25332/post-8986264ANY UPDATE??
NightmaresRandom question but does anyone else remember there being voice acting for Jill and Bella? What ever happened to that?
I'm pretty sure that it was definitely a thing. That's why in ep 1 and/or 2 there are times where there's no music playing. That's where the voiceovers were. I wonder if anyone kept that version.Nightmares
SanchoNote - Music ReplacementSanchoNote:
Since I'm a nice guy and all, while I'm in the final prep of updating SanchoMod to the latest core and bringing it all to S2 v0.8.3 (with additional features and tweaks) I'll do you folks that play completely un-modded a solid.
So, you want the missing songs back that were removed from v0.8.3?
Of course you do.
I'll be releasing a fix for that separately for folks that don't use a mod at all. It'll be incorporated by default in SanchoMod.... BUT you all need to do one thing (since I am not a supplier), you need to grab the old "music_ep1.rpa" file from your v0.8.2 build. It's the single one file you need. I'll do the rest. More deets coming soon.
Regards.
Edit: I forgot to post a teaser... so here's one with the mod up and the original music in place:

You are right. Originally DPC did want the game to be voiced. However, it further complicated game development to the point that he decided to drop it after, IIRC, the first episode. I, for one, don't miss it. Voice acting for this kind of content is the kind of thing that has to be done superbly or should not be done at all, in my opinion. Anything less than top-of-the-line professional voice actors just ruins the experience, at least for me.I'm pretty sure that it was definitely a thing.

Not just that, but it's also the nature of the voice itself.Anything less than top-of-the-line professional voice actors just ruin the experience, at least for me.
FWIW, "It's deliberately difficult to keep a NEUTRAL affinity as it's the only affinity that maximizes the girl choices" is a very accurate statement. For instance when you get here with Neutral status AND affinity while it also being "Permanent" you are in for one helluva long MC thought process with a max of 4 LI path choices:It's a balance thing, at that point you're 60% DIK, at 7 - 5 it's 58%. I think it's something like 0-40% = CHICK, 41-59% = NEUTRAL, 60-100% = DIK.
