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

[iamcomming]

My list is just my opinion. I personally don't think Cathy's relationship will move past a casual hook up. That doesn't mean it couldn't happen. None of the SG paths are guaranteed. DPC can close them all right now if he wants.

Riona ==========> (She never returns to B&R because of Buddy & her ailing grades)

she does well at class. at least, she doesnt have any failed class. only quinn manipulated her to think she isnt that good.
i fear only because of the buddy part
#RioNeedToBeBack

That will make one person here very happy but Rio won't like losing a fan

she is very understanding. she wont mind let Bazsa4 have his fun.

What are the requisites for pranking Kylie and Penny out of the party on neutral? Since I only did one playthrough for all my neutral routes, I believe I will only get the same options, Neutral or Chick.

i heard, you can take ep10 mushroom if you accept drug at ep4.
my guess is help Derek with revenge on Ron. or was is Berth? nevermind, the dorm party revenge is the key to prank Penny and Kylie. but again, it is just a guess.

If the girl joins the fraternity? I mean, there's precedent (Jill) for a girl to live in a frat house, but I wouldn't expect it to be done again here. For Derek, would he want to change rooms? He always seemed pretty happy to have the tiny room.

Jill claim two thing
-she isnt part of preps, only live there
-she isnt the only female who is there. but they are few.

Jill & Amelia don't look like carbon copies of each other.

Amelia is Jill with short hair and a thinner figure. Anyone can see that she is Jill's mother, they look exactly alike.

It's likely that Viv and Mir are 1-3 years older than Lynette. Also it's likely they could still go on dates with the three of them while having kids. It's normal to let your parents look after them or just hire a babysitter when you want to do something fun.

So a group of rich friends including Amelia all have young children by the time they are 21? And the only one that is looked on unfavorably is Lynette because Neil is a construction worker.

That would make MC's grandfather even dumber to allow his daughter to hang around girls like that. He should have expected her to get knocked up.

 

[Blue Milk]

Do US towns tend to have University/Colleges or are they more in the cities kind of environment? Cities tend to have more than one.

Both.

You can have colleges within cities like Columbia University in New York City or you can have college towns like Galveston in Texas, home to Texas A&M University, where the town is socioeconomically dominated by the college and kinda built up around it.

Nope, on NEUTRAL the only key to prank them is not inviting Tara. No other requirements needed.

I don't agree. But that's my opinion. Doesn't change my point. Reusing assets is not out of the realm of possibility in an AVN.

As a Texan I can say UT Austin is better it the Josy of college on the other hand A&M is the becky and Dawe of college

The problem was not that Lynette got pregnant, the problem was that she got pregnant by Neil. Lynette's friends were already mothers (if we assume that Miranda is Bianca's mother), MC's grandfather probably already had a husband in mind for Lynette.

 

[iamcomming]

i wont miss quinn if she wont come back, but if you check the items, it looks like she went out for a few days, not for moving out. i mean, even for vacation you bring more item.

Maybe we'll get a confirmation in the next diary entry since we have hit MC's conception.

Most of them you see now and then at parties. You never see her except for the last two big parties. I don't think its implied at all. We cannot just assume now that she is here she was at all the parties. No she is only showing up now for a reason. And its gonna create at river of tears soon over here.

The fact that she did not participate in earlier parties might be simply due to technical limitations. Rendering scenes with dozens of characters is usually avoided by many devs since it costs a lot of ressources. If DPC could only show a limited number of guests in a limited number of scenes, he probably would not create way more characters than he wanted to use.

DPC obviously has greatly improved the quality and output quantity of his render farm over the years so that he now can feature way more characters in (party) scenes which allowed to introduce more characters.

Adding new characters with each episode is also a good way to keep the game interesting and varied.

 

[Hahn1900]

Is there any thoughts about if next episode will be (when it releases in 2027+) a season finale or a game finale?

There will be a Season 4, so just Season finale.

But DPC already confirmed that season 4 will be a lot different compared to the other seasons, so you can expect that episode 12 will close a lot plots and that season 4 will feel very different.

If you ask me, episode 12 will be the biggest episode so far, ok thats not really a surprise, but i mean WAY bigger (like two episodes at once). My guess is, DPC will close most of the open Plots. Or at least "solve" them so only a "epilogue" is left for them to see how everything goes after the plotline concludes.

So overall, episode 11 had 7000 renders, and i think episode 12 will have round about 10.000. And it will take more time to develop... half a year on top i would say. So... basically... 2 years from now episode 12 will be ready. MAYBE because christmas will still be a thing in the game (christmas eve is still in the open) DPC is aiming for christmas 2026, thats my optimistic guess if iam right about the bigger size of the episode.

But only if iam right about the size... otherwise it will be earlier. I wouldnt rule out a release in 2026, but if iam right about the size... early 2027 is more realistic... earlier would be optimistic as i said.

Good news _if_ iam right. Season 4 will be more kinetic, and propably shorter and faster developed too...

But like everytime... its only a guessing game and not even DPC can know how big the episode will be exactly and when it will be released... the only thing DPC knows for sure at this point is what AT LEAST will be in that episode, but so far he always added more to the episode than originally planned because of new ideas during the dev cycle of an episode.

Just the renders of MC ending his current relationship (MG and SG) because of Zoey must be around 1000 renders. Jesus Christ...

Asset reusage doesn't necessarily mean relations. Jade & Zoey share similar assets too. Does that make them related? I'm not saying they aren't related in some way.

Jill & Amelia don't look like carbon copies of each other. This is my opinion. Until DPC confirms they're their parents, I don't believe during these flashbacks that Vivian & Miranda are parents.

Where in you head Jade and Zoey are spitting images of each other like Bianca and Miranda? They literally have the same face, this is not
Apart from that, it was Bianca's father that told Jill's father about Lynette's old house being for sale. Which is another point.

I agree that they're spitting images of eachother if you put them next to one another.

This has been my thoughts for a while - though that may change depending on if anyone asks/what he answers in the next Q&A

Unfortunately, most if not all the open threads can be closed in the next episode (as much as fans don't like to admit this, it is a possibility) and anything else can be tied up in endings/epilogue whether he has left himself enough time or not to do it satisfactorily, I don't know. But episode 12 seems like a logical time to stop at least the "normal" type of episodes we get. It is the end of a school semester, it is the end of a season etc etc.

Only DPC knows for sure really, he'll have the script so he will know exactly where the choices end and the on rails bit begins, but even if he has gone over budget shall we say and the story is spilling into another episode I don't think he will make 12 bigger just so he can end perfectly.

A lot of dormies where show at early parties, including Cyndi's ugly friend. She was just not going to their parties, that's about it.

I agree that they're spitting images of eachother if you put them next to one another.

Jade's face is squared and Zoey's more rounded and pointy. Plus Jade has more pronounced cheekbones.
Mind you that this is in VERY early versions of the game which quality was bad. Miranda and Bianca mostly appeared in lastest versions of the game.
Now look at Miranda and Bianca in the lastest version:


Please tell you don't see it. And if you still don't believe go and take more recent versions of Jade and Zoey and compare them.

I've believed since the beginning that Miranda and Bianca are almost certainly mother and daughter. I'm just saying that Zoey and Jade also look a lot like eachother.



Imo in ep 11 they look even more alike than in earlier seasons.

 

[Macky009]

Yeah, I got them mixed. I agree with you here.

Here's a wild thought that comes previously Madame Rose is actually Vivian
