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

[felicemastronzo]

I don't believe that. That means Zoey also doesn't have time, beacuse lets be real, he can't drag a definitive answer to her relationship past Ep11. Would he waste the Interlude on a character with less than a season of shelf life?

Everyone that doesn't irrationally hate Josy(I won't name names), hopes she gets her break when the throuple is no more. She can't just drift all the way to the end with no character development, especially with big events happening all over her routes.

No character development...




This is hate speech

To me Josy got a great story and now that she adding modeling it even more interesting. Some think she needs more and people have right to want what they want but take the rest of the main girls Jill's and Maya's story suck, and Bella's story is James left, Sage got good story but guess what it mostly the same as Josy. So if DPC was to do more I hate to say but he would probably fuck it up

What are you talking about, dude?
You can feel whatever you want about Maya, but her shitty student loan story is what this game is built on.
Jill's story has an intriguing aspect regarding her older sister.
We know that her older sister is dead, but we don't know the reason for her death yet, and this could be important for the story as a whole.
Bella's story is not limited to James leaving. Her story includes an axe in the garage, and possibly her unstable mental state.
And Sage's story? That's a real epic, an ancient Greek tragedy. Her boyfriend was a closeted gay, her brother a cunning antagonist - a manipulator (and by a strange coincidence, a complete idiot at the same time).
Her adoptive parents... Well, everyone already knows who they are.
Nothing is known about her real parents yet.
Perhaps they will turn out to be serial killers - maniacs, sentenced to death.
I'm not saying it, but it's possible.
So Sage's story is a potential atomic bomb.
Josy's story is nothing compared to these Giants of world literature.
Just accept it.

Let's not forget, she has to deal with Maya's bullshit. I'd already have shot myself if that were forced upon me.

I'm not trying to play moral police here, but let's not forget: Josy is dealing with Patrick's bullshit, not Maya's. Who got butthurted by his daughter's sexual preferences in his selfish desire for Helen to see her grandchildren. Another story of those who raise children for their own desires and needs.

I don't believe that. That means Zoey also doesn't have time, beacuse lets be real, he can't drag a definitive answer to her relationship past Ep11. Would he waste the Interlude on a character with less than a season of shelf life?

Zoey was introduced earlier after all and we got two episodes with her and an Interlude. I'm sure the turning point for the relationship to be restored/let her go will be the key twist in Ep.12, not 11. While we've seen her realize that she loves MC, I'm allocating two more episodes for build up, and the denouement in Ep.12, with a full trope in Season 4. Josy will definitely get her solo, but DPC needs to make her an interesting LI, which is something we have less time for. Assuming Season 4 is a full one, 4 episodes, then there's still time for her development. If not, if it will be shorter, I don't know. Maybe what Roger suggested:

There's several episodes. Jill's Tybalt drama only took three episodes. And technically Josy's family drama already exists, it just hasn't been in the spotlight. And family drama is like the whole point of BADIK. The characters' drama manifests through the relationships they have with other people and family members are always significant one way or another. The fact that Josy hates Tommy just makes her having to deal with it more dramatic.

Today's update will be short, which is good because we're at the end of the development cycle.

I've been play-testing for the better part of the week. I am now focusing on continuity and replaying the entire game, Episodes 1-11, during my tests. I will make a couple of playthroughs like this in the upcoming week, and it's pretty time-consuming as the game grows bigger.

I've also been taking some time to write content for episode 12 and write the code for the remaining mini-games in Season 3.

I checked the render speed of the animation queue today, and February 7-9 still stands as the completion date. Beta testing will commence shortly thereafter and beta testers have been alerted.

I will post a preliminary changelog for you next Friday and release the final preview of episode 11 before that.

Have a nice weekend

Josy's story is better then all of them by a very wide margin, Sage is the only girl that comes close story wise and her is pretty much the same as Josy. Bella is my second favorite but she got no story what so other then James left, being interesting isn't a story. Quinn's story is better then most of the main girls. I don't blame the girls just DPC poor writing .. ok I blame Maya but it not like she would read the story or this post anyway

 

[KАRАMBA]

Quinn's story is better then most of the main girls.

You're absolutely right about that.

 

[19Castiel23]

Then he'll be the first to make 2 year old updates the new standard, lol.
Actually everything that's going on in AVN right now with release windows is his fault. It used to be considered normal to release episodes every 2-3 months. Yes, there was Icstor, but it was hated and hated by everyone. Now DPC made it standard to update once a year and most developers followed suit because they saw that he got nothing for it.
If DPC will not do anything for year and a half and two year updates, then all other authors will do the same.
Imagine waiting 2 years for the release of a new chapter of Eternum, lol. Simply because DPC is doing exactly the same thing.

If there is enough content, I can wait 1-2 years. But it is a boring process anyway. I think this shows the spoiled nature of the game developer.If he took out the unnecessary and stupid mini games and added one more member, I think he would release one episode a year.

That's some favouritism bias right there. Josy doesn't really have any story, other than being the other woman in regards to Maya. once the thruple either starts or doesn't, Josy is irrelevant, You could argue she is a crutch for Maya, that is to say, if the Thruple didn't start and Maya wasn't close to MC she needed something to keep her a B&R, but ultimately the story would go on with or without her.

 

[iamcomming]

i dont think Derek just can get the documentum. if he can, than why need he mc? see mc fail is bullshit. based on now and dont care with yesterday. yesterday when Patrick blackmail and hurt Maya while Derek didnt met with mc. while Derek choosed the same school as Maya to be there for her. what was Derek motivation to not get it this... oh, okay, well, since its dpc's game, the story can be his motivation... but then the story just more stupid then now.

also, i still dont see why would make it more branching.
-Quinn and Rio threesome is still paid with "story money"
-Jade lost "story money" if you ducked her and shared her video.
Maya can have "story money" or "story not money, but something other elements" if you get the document to her. just a few render difference here and a few there.

And after that is new papers story begins:
Maya sues Patrick for harassment and blackmail. Next comes a traditional American courtroom drama spanning several years. All subsequent episodes will be about this case. You, as a player - the witness and your task is to successfully complete mini-game “working with court documents”, bringing this case to the Supreme Court and help MC to start his career as a lawyer in the ending. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy the new mini-game mechanics at Season 4!

but... mc dont study law.

That's right, the worst moments in AL were kinetic, endings that only varied depending on who you chose and how you behaved during the run, whether you stuck your dick in the cookie jar when you shouldn't have. Despite the game being a masterpiece, a significant part of the world lived without player decisions, just like in BaDIK. As for BaDIK Endgame...we will see.

i even cried on it a little bit, but after or before the cry, this kinetic shit was boooring. only reading reading reading reading reading reading and reading without any game moment. as a book.
it feels to me like this new mini-game what leaked out of ep11. how much reading is there:

Oh I'm not even talking about that specific situation. I just mean Maya's attitude in general. She's an annoying bitch. Let's not forget that she's emotionally abusive towards Josy.

That some next level trolling Josy is the only reason Maya evens works without Josy no one would like her. If someone doesn't think Josy got a story ok that their right but if then they say Sage has a story then they are a liar because they are the same story and that cannot be argue against

There's not enough content to justify over a year wait and it's only going to get longer from here. People called me crazy when I said "Looking at the trajectory, it will reach a point where it takes over a year after episode 7 or 8 was released." Over a years wait for an episode you'll be done in a few hours. Episode 12 will take two years and this looks it will take over a decade to be completed. It's avn and not AAA game.

I don't know why you guys always mock the fish. The fish is an amazing feature. You can put money into its budget, and you can take money OUT: it's a bank. In the later parts of the game you are swimming in cash, especially in later playthroughs, because you already bought all of Jacob's stupid drawings in previous runs and have nothing more to spend it on (at least if you are playing without minigames like me). So, where does the money go? Into the fish! On some of my later saves I have like 10$ or so in the fish, plus 10$ more on hand. When the next episode comes and you have to pay 20$ ransom for Riona, I'm set.

You can also put in bn_cpu_hp = 1 at the start of the fight. Means you only need one move to win and get that shit over with.

I agree with your comment. EP12 is impossible to come before the end of 2026. With the speed of Dr. Pinkcake, Beign A Dik, the game's finale will probably take place in 2040. I will play the game's finale with my grandchildren now.

in one episode introduced and I was already making money out of it by the end of the ep and its quick.
Better than the money sink, Madame

I will admit I did try and Bait you a bit, but there is truth to what I said - you did kinda agree with what I said, without Josy Maya would be nothing, she is essentially the crutch that's keeping Mayas story going.
I don't quite get why you are saying Sage's and Josy's Story are the same though, other than the fact there partner was cheating on them with the opposite person you would think due to there supposedly sexuality. that's pretty much the only thing they have in common.

Oh yeah, Madame. Kinda forgot she existed.
DPC probably assumes you are spending money on her. Well, no thank you. The manatee can go fuck itself.
