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

I just realized that out of 18 new lewd scenes, two or three will be with Madame

Okay, I really can't understand why Madame Rose is needed in this game.
We have Bella as main-girl MILF, on Others path we have Jade, Cathy, Nora, Nicole, Sandy(I don't know actually how old she is, but she looks 40)
if you need to justify a VIP pass, there are strippers to choose from.
Rose (one scene if you chose Derek's dorm in episode 3), Tania and Brandi (no scenes at all), Sandy, Nicole, Lily.

Even if we exclude Lily and Nicole because they have their own root on Others path, we still have four strippers left. Hell, you can even get the bartender involved if four options aren't enough for you.

Of course without Lily and Nicole, the VIP pass would still look mediocre, but many times better than the Madame pass

Maybe he thought she could be an intentional easy target for criticism, so stuff people actually care about won't get bashed as much.

If that's the case, he was incredibly wrong. She may be a lightning rod for accusations of "useless shit", but he's still under fire for things like minigames and 60FPS.

Instead, there would be something to complain about. The next episode will have 18 sex scenes. Only 18 scenes after more than a year of waiting, diluted among the various girls. So there will be two scenes for each main girl (10 scenes), maybe one or two more, so 6-8 scenes for all the others girls. Hoping that the Madame Tax does not take more than two scenes.

So the number of lewds is really little and disappointing, the same as episode 10 was disappointing on that aspect. This is an AVN after all, instead we will have to put up with the usual embarrassing animations of walking robots and similar pretentious "cinematic" bullshit.
The percentage of erotic images on the total will be really small. I think it should have a decent ratio instead, now the sex scenes seem thrown in by force or randomly, small interludes disconnected from the rest without a proper erotic crescendo that should be the fulcrum of a good AVN.

But hey, we'll have the massive "cutscene" of two minutes to wank at, rejoice!

We have been talking about this over in the D&H discord and the best consensus guess on the selection of scenes (18 is same as ep 9 with the big party renders) is

1 maya,
2 josy,
3 M&J,
4 sage,
5 sage +?,
6 & 7 jill,
8 & 9 bella,
10 quinn,
11 zoey,
12 lily,
13 nicole,
14 jade,
15 sarah,
16 mel,
17 cammi,
18 elena,

Now there is some room for more if jill and bella are down to 1 scene, that could add becky or biancia cheat options or sandy at the pink rose.

After 3 in 10 most hope madame is a skip but could have 1

im pulling for a sally/krj 3 some from april fools getting a slot

oh my ? guess for sage 3 some is heather

mel and nicole are the weakest selections right now

KaiserST said:

The update will have 18 scenes tbh.

Also, probably 7K statics & 380 animations.

We can bitch about the waiting but not about the content amount.

Click to expand...

I think 98% of players care for
1) the story
2) the sex scenes

Nobody gives a fuck for two minutes long SFW cut scenes that add nothing to the story nor to the erotic content, but takes ten fucking days or more to be rendered in fucking 60fps... Besides he design them with camera panning so I guess they also take longer design time.

If he didn't waste design and render time on animations nobody cares for, he could deliver two months earlier.

The only way he can get away from harsh criticism is to make the episodes faster, because otherwise people start to get bored, people get frustrated , then uncomfortable questions arise that BaDIK is not so ideal.

Making the episodes faster is not without negatives though. People will think "faster=smaller", that they'll get a lot less content than before. Then questions of story quality arise, maybe everything was rushed, oh why didn't my favorite girl get enough screen time, blah blah blah.

You just don't have any faith in the people here. They will be reasonable and ....

Wait!. Nevermind, Carry on.

iamcomming said:

as i read, he didnt said the update isnt big or too slow. he compared the ep11 how big (renders+animations) and how many lewd scene.
so, renders+animations vs lewd scene in ratio.

today i finished playing one game what have these numbers and its give better ratio, because it hasnt any free-roams, mini games, running Zoey.
(well, i dont mind the free-roams and mini games, they are fun, dpc doing a good job, mostly)

Click to expand...

I don't think that'll change anytime soon. Especially with Zoey likely needing scenes or even her own route in the future. Or Bianca, Elena, Sally, Karen, Tiffany, Yoga girl etc who people would like to get a scene.

Ep1 = 6 scenes
Ep2 = 8 scenes
Ep3 = 10 scenes
Ep4 = 15 scenes
Ep5 = 11 Scenes
Ep6 = 19 scenes (10 of them D&G scenes)
Ep7 = 15 scenes (3 Madame scenes)
Ep8 = 16 scenes (2 Madame scenes)
Int = 2 scenes
Ep9 = 18 scenes (7 others)
Ep10 = 16 scenes (3 Madame Scenes, 6 others)
Ep11 = 18 apparently
(I didn't include if some are dreams, one offs or variations like Madame's because I'm slightly drunk and far too fucking lazy)

The later episodes are not delivering less lewds. The problem is the fact the game split. It's had the MC (unless on Others) go from potentially interacting with numerous women and getting multiple scenes, to one woman and getting 1-2 scenes. Jill also loves dick now so has scenes where she didn't need them early on.

The amount of lewds has stayed pretty consistent since Ep4 it's 15-19 scenes per episode. I think he could stop sandboxes and minigames next episode and future ones would still run into a similar problem. It'd still be a handful of scenes per route because all that lewd content is spread out and walled off. Which is why choice in games tends to be self contained or underwhelming, to avoid locking stuff off and having development take forever the way a bunch of real choices would.

At this point the only two real ways to unfuck that is increase dev time even more to make 30-35+ lewds per epizoda. Or cull the Other path so main girls get that content and time allocated to them instead, which means Quinn, Riona, Lily Nicole etc go the way of the dodo. Which I don't think most want either. In hindsight he probably made the routes exclusive too early.

- TLDR - Apparently needs one since F95 is where reading comprehension goes to die . The post above's point is lewds are not diluted because of minigames/sandboxes but because of the story split walling that content off. It is not saying lewds are not diluted.

At this point I believe my theory that madame rose is the self-insertion of DPC's favorite prostitute is correct. It is the only logical explanation for giving so many scenes to a character so irrelevant to the plot.

Plot twist: Madame Rose is MC's real mom. Neil told him his mother died giving birth because he was ashamed to confess he impregnated a prostitute.

Now she's part of the plot

You can't satisfy everyone in any case.

at the beginning 3 months for 1 episode, now.... well , maybe in December after 1 year of waiting . so yes, it's time !!!
