VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Geralt From Rivia]

That one I never understood, on the one hand people want as many girls to choose from as possible and on the other hand they get, as you said, overprotective. I really don't understand that need for validation, if you like girl A, what difference does it make if another guy doesn't and instead prefers girl B ? It makes no sense to even have an argument over that one, since taste and preferences are what they are.

The only thing that manages to get me riled up is the Anti-ntr brigade ( I think we discussed this before ), or any other group for that matter, that tries to force their views onto others and won't stop spewing nonsense and disrupt the entire flow on the thread.

If I were a shrink, I'd flood F95 with ads for my practise, and maaaaaaaan...I would be shitting gold bricks.

This is it. My friends can’t stand Josy, but I’m okay with her, I see both her shortcomings and her strengths.
I don’t like Jill, but they are not against her, although like everyone else they laugh and make memes.
And we get along great together. We're probably too old for this.
Anti-NTR crowd, how good it is that they are no longer here. Surprisingly, the BaDIK thread became clear of Anti-NTR crusaders, although F95 is full of them.

A short but good update for today.

The animation queue is down to 6 animations. After they're completed, I need to post-process them and test the lewd scenes to ensure that they work. After that, beta testing can start, and it will start sometime next week.

The final preview for episode 10 drops on Wednesday, and next Friday will be the final status update before the release date announcement.

This development cycle is about to reach its end.

Have a nice weekend.

Wow, and an actual new hairstyle that looks good ?! WTF happened? someone take over from dpc ? He hired some Fan-art maker ?

It's probably because you can't go worse than those twintails

Don't be fooled ! She's clearly craving for the Chick MC !

Well, Chick MC got that freebie from Lily in ep. 5

I'm not looking for validation from people here, that's why I replied to the post where I've been called out and tried to explain myself.

Fixed

So probably a November release?

 

[Joshy92]

You know I would have a much nicer weekend if DPC gave me all his money

 

[PereFourreAss]

So probably a November release?

Most likely December 1st, DPC only releases on Fridays

 

[Mfka5]

He wouldnt give you a dollar.
But rather would accuse you of hurting his business by taking away his 1 dollar.

Those two theories have been around for a very long time, but they always fail in Episode 1 when the MC's dad drives him to the Burgmeister and Royce College. We are used to inconsistent and sometimes even annoyingly stupid storylines but I think this one would tip the scales and have people up in arms.

Every dad on the planet would say something along the lines of "Be proud son, your mother was a burgmeister/royce.", if that were actually the case. But since that didn't happen and if we then later find out that that actually IS the case, it would instantly jump to the most braindead storyline in the history of gaming, it would even beat the tuition crap with ease.

On top of that DPC doesn't do incest or would even tip his toe onto that patreon landmine.

It has been discussed many many many times, but the eventual consensus was always that the MC's family on his mother's side was not as rich as the game makes the Burgmeisters/Royces out to be. Simply because super loaded people don't move into a hotel they just bought, while it's being renovated, they would wait until it's done.

The explanation will surely be ridiculous, at which point we start with this certainty

 

[bloodyasura]

Oh if you are talking "Lynette is alive", you are talking to the one who came up with that theory and discussed it more times than I care to remember.

But again it all fails in terms of Neil not pointing it out when he drives the MC to College. Neil is never shown as petty, and all he cares about is his son, no matter how much he would resent or even hate Lynette and/or her family he would not deny his son that side of his lineage.

I'll keep this very very short, because I can't go through all of it again at length.

Theory is, that Lynette is alive and instead of dying after giving birth, when she discovered that she is pregnant, being an 18 year old girl, she told Neil that she is gonna have an abortion or give the child up for adoption and Neil said "No, I'll take him." and Lynette then said "Fine, but tell him I died, so there is no chance of him trying to find me."

And by now she is guilt tripping hard, which made her sent her diary to the MC, which will tell us her side of the story and conclude with the MC finding out what really happened.

Neil doesn’t hate Lynette. He’s more resentful of her father. And as I said in the previous comment, it was her father who could blackmail Lynette into leaving Neil and MC, and this lever of blackmail was relevant, right up until the MC became an adult and by now the lever had weakened and Lynette was preparing the MC to meet her. And Neal’s not telling him anything because of this leverage. And when he handed over the letter and diaries to Lynette MC it was Lynette who asked Neal to do it, she told him - dear, the lever of blackmail is about to collapse, let’s get our baby ready to meet me. And after that, Neal handed over his inheritance to MC.
But judging by how the MC took the truth about Josie and Maya, I’m afraid the long-awaited meeting with Lynette will be overshadowed by our little bitch running away crying, blaming the world for living a lie.

So, Quinn is one of the main LIs now?

 

[aykarin]

Yea I'm probably thinking that one's going to be a very, slow burn. Hopefully before the end of Season 3 and ideally next episode but realistically, I can see DPC dragging it out all the way to the last episode of the season. Then we finally get a solo Josy path in season 4.

I'm sure it's as you say and it will take a very long time for they break-up to finally happen. DPC will keep escalating the tensions between them, adding more and more drama each update. Before solo Josy path finally happens, all of us will be probably tired of this shit. As DPC strongly dislikes branching, he will try to keep Josy-Maya path unified as long as it's possible. The player's attitute toward both of them will probably have no real impact until the very last moment when it will decide the fate of M&J relationship and the course that path takes. Which will probably happen by the end of season 3.

No. She is in the banner since season 2 as far as i remember

Presuming he hasn’t added any more he has averaged 11.5 animation since October 13th. 52-6=46 46/4=11.5

11.5/7=1.64 1.64*4=6.56

So Monday/ Tuesday to finish rendering. Don’t know how long the post processing takes but could be in the hands of the beta testers Tuesday or Wednesday.

Makes most likely release December 1st, with outside chance of 24th if testing goes particularly smoothly.

 

[bloodyasura]

I think, even though Quinn was never the main LI, she was always on those covers. Or am I wrong?

 

[ChipLecsap]

Well, that's a dissapointing number of animations left to render. Should take them a week to render.

Considering that, beta should only start next weekend which means 24/11 has no chances left.

01/12 then, almost there, I hope the update is worth the wait.

6, is nothing, he gonna finish it in the weekend, by next wednesday, the beta test will start, along with the final preview, and in friday the announce, the november 24. release

Don't think a blackmailing father would be enough to keep a mother from her child, the reason for leaving the MC behind, had to come from within her.

And I think if the MC ran away crying after he found out, it would be justified. I mean that's as hardcore as it gets, your own mom didn't want you and instead made a deal with your dad that he should tell you that she died. I would even let that one pass if the MC never forgave her and instead decides to never have contact with her.

And sorry, I only just saw your edit to one of your earlier posts regarding the hotel. Lynettes father made the entire family move into the hotel and Lynette isn't happy about it.

 

[iggy.]

If my memory serves me well he usually releases episode 3 weeks after final status update so December 8th is most likely
