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

[JETracktor]

Very true episode 4 was the big branch between 3 characters (therefore 3 different free roams and all that comes with them) episode 5 however was pretty simple episode, the biggest offset was it's size compared to previous episodes. Episode 6 was the mansion mini game and also the increased number of renders and animations. Episode 7 was the phone and and even larger render and animation count. But one thing I want to counter the "Back to his regular schedule" point with is that he's already 2 months into his development for episode 8 and he's only managed to be 30% finished (according to him). I think we're going to see a minimum of 5 months. Most people here predict an October release (probably along with the Halloween party that Sage and Jacob mentioned)

Well, the biggest difference among all routes on Bella's route; Bella will know that Maya is the girl MC used to share dorm with and that she has a girlfriend. MC didn't tell it specifically but blabbered.

Could Arieth have once been Vinny's girl? Is she perhaps the cause of the quarrel between Vinny and the Dik's or maybe even the Alpha's?
Take a look at the screenshot. Arieth is probably from the library and Vinny is not up there with the others.

You see Jacob there?

It's so long. One season takes a year and a half.

Yes it's long, but quality requires a lot of work and each update gives a good amount of playtime.
Recently i played a game with a one month update that delivers 5 minutes of playtime, so.....

Though I don't think it'll matter in the long run. We already saw Bella notice Maya in distress in Episode 7. One way or another she'll find out MC's connection to her. I think all we'll get out of this is some dialogue change when the time comes.

It is. But granted DPC is a solo developer and has some of the largest updates among the AVN genre. So as unfortunate as the wait is, I would argue it's worth it in this context.

I think in that scene Bella noticed Sage, not Maya. That Sage not only bright as she said but also caring. First I thought that scene will differ if Bella knows about Maya (you need your ID to get the book from library so Bella knows who Sage was talking to) but it didn't.

I thought with that much support $$$ on Patreon he had a team?

Agreed, compare to EvaKiss ORS get update 2-3 months & DPC is 6 times bigger then her on Patreon support.

She noticed Sage comforting Maya. There's a render where she looks back at Maya after she tells Sage that she has plans after their lesson in the library (before interfering with Jill's "date")

No, I believe he mentioned in one of his Q&A's that he's a terrible manager and that he has a specific vision for the game. So he would rather handle all areas of production himself instead of peering over someones shoulder. So all the support on Patreon goes to the game and himself... Probably.

I just noticed something else strange. DPC edited the calendars in Maya's Dorm.

EP1-EP5=2017
EP6=2020

But in EP7 there is always someone in front of the calendar. I know that EP6 was published in 2020. But EP1 did not appear in 2017. Maybe DPC had the idea of BaD in 2017.

No, Stephen Burke is the MC's aunt. His (her?) forehead scar is a result from the transplant when they transferred Lana's brain upon her death and replaced Stephen's. If you look closely at the reflections in Burke's left (Chick) eye, there is always a dark blue silhouette of Jill as a child (blue => royal blue => Royce).

How'd I do, dalli?

These conspiracy theories are all crazy! You guys should base your theories on actual dialogue present in the game.

Besides everyone already knows that MC's only secret relative in Aunty Jill, and she's also a Futa Giantess, and the Queen of Racoons.

So i guess that the MC went into coma for three years and everybody around him just play the game, did the MC get abducted by aliens because he has such a big dick and all the students and staff of the college are members of the Men in Blacks, studying him for eventual sexual aftermath?

Isabella is by far the best looking in the game but I will be starting this game again so just to be friends with maya and josy so I can get more scenes with quinn she is the one you just want to hate fuck

Bella is the best MG in my opinion but I would say Josy is the best looking MG, maybe even in the game.

I am new and I would like to know which one is better, DIK, Neutral, CHICK?

The game is a little more complicated than just DIK/Neutral/CHICK. In broad terms (as Darkdevil66 said) CHICKs are best for pursuing the 5 main LIs (Josy, Maya, Sage, Jill and Isabella) while DIK is much better suited to the other girls (in particular Riona, Camila, Sarah, Mel and Quinn). Neutral is a decent compromise between the two: you can get most of the content with all the LIs, and a decent chunk of content for the other girls.

That said, my advice is just to play whichever style appeals to you most. There's more content than you can see in a single playthrough and while I have some serious problems with the Affinity/Status system as a whole, it is reasonably consistent within the constraints mentioned above. So if you want to maximize casual sex, go DIK. If you want to focus on the romantic options, go CHICK. If you want to keep your options open, try to stay Neutral.

And whatever you do keep a lot of separate saves in case you need to go back and reverse a decision. Or just play through the game multiple times.

Well, the biggest difference among all routes on Bella's route; Bella will know that Maya is the girl MC used to share dorm with and that she has a girlfriend. MC didn't tell it specifically but blabbered.

That's an interesting point. I doubt Bella would remember a random name several weeks later, but she does know the MC was dating two girls who turned out to be an item. It wouldn't take too much imagination to realize Josy and Maya are the girls in question - particularly if Jill shares what she knows.

Of course Bella is also very unlikely to do anything with that knowledge should she make the connection. Unless you're also dating her.
