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

[d2dacameron]

Fucked Jade and let Heather blow you huh?

I haven't looked into Heather stuff in detail. Before episode 11 came out, I remember people saying that it didn't matter what you chose in terms of Heather liking you. Is there a noticable difference in Heather conversations with or without bj? I wonder if that choice will matter in future for her content.

URM is the universal ren'py mod. It allows you to mod the game to your whim and not leave a trace. The mods an issue cause it tanks your saves, yeah it's true that scrappy has been good so far, but hey so was Sancho until he wasn't.

There was nothing wrong with sancho's mod. The dude just vanished. The same cannot be said for scrappy. I have nothing against the dude. His other mods are fine. But his BADIK mod is a mess. I had a look at it. Points you to wrong things etc. URM is great I must agree with you. The fact that it leaves no footprint is big plus.

Magnar is a name of Scandinavian origin.
Anderson (Scandinavian surname)
Yeah, yeah, it's that simple.

Oh it definitely impacts conversations and scenes. And can cut off some side routes (Elena being an obvious one) depending on how you handled what happened.

 

[4Zero9Zero]

definitely not, but I am excited about Amelia becoming a side girl next episode rawwr
jokes aside, Bianca's mom might be Linette's other friend, they look alike quite a lot

Bro no jokes Amelia needs to happen, she can replace the next Madame scene

Madame won't get another scene next episode....right???

 

[Joshua Sanders]

Imo there were equally really really bad for different reasons.

Josy's was just shallow and bland but Maya's was entirely out of place and such a bad timing, not intimate at all and in the middle of people, they didnt even kissed afterwards.

And Maya was not afraid of getting sick and the mc stopping to support her due to it, its the opposite, shes worried about the mc having to live a life like her dad patrick whos nothing but a empty broken shell at this point. She doesnt want tremolo to end up like that.

So his "i love you no matter what and will be there for you!!!" actually did nothing to disperse her fears and possibily even reinforced them. Its this utter dedication and devotion which did lead patrick to where he is after all.

Both of these ILY scenes were seriously so bad and underwhelming that im questioning if its by purpose and actually a bad move to tell the ILY in this episode already, only being able to say it to one of them reinforces that idea for me.



I really like josy and am looking forward to her solo path but i agree, i was utterly annoyed that josy is still in the "okay lets give it a try" (with maya) mindset. How long does she expect the MC to stay single wtf

And from a pure gameplay perspective i feel were starting to lack the time to properly explore the solo relationships with maya and josy on a non-throuple route. It feels more and more like the (breaking) throuple is the supposed way to a solo route with either of them.

Its kinda funny how as a player IN the throuple im annoyed that they arent finally getting over themselfes and make up and as a player OUT of the throuple im annoyed that they arent getting over themself and break up

its like the worst for both worlds

This is why I am annoyed with the writing of this game. Specially because DPC is focusing a lot on minigames, free roams and the stories doesn't have a good progression. Zoey joined in EP.9 and she already got a progression with MC. I am sure the lab girl might get together with MC than any hope MC might have in being with Josy in a couple relationship.

This thing with Josy goes since ep.1. And she still chooses Maya over MC and I don't really think she loves Maya that much. If she did, she wouldn't come onto MC everytime she is alone, thinking about how would it be if she wasn't with Maya. As someone who doesn't play trouple, but the others path. Maya never really came onto MC after he decided to be friends.

Josy, on the other hand, everytime she is alone with MC she comes to ask about how he feels about her etc. She seems to love the attention mc gives when not being with her and loves to know he still has a crush on her. Like playing with the dude. lol.

I don't really like Maya, never did since the start, she isn't my style, but after all this time, I learned to respect her a lot more than I respect josy.

Amelia looks so fragile. I will break her.

 

[f96zonetrooper]

Also on a side not, I have NO IDEA why but you cannot progress with Camilla if you told Derek that you fucked Jade in ep4. I didn't really investigate why but that's the case. Any clarifications would be appriciated.

The script line for Camila is :

if (branchAlone or branchSage) and not ep4_toldDerekAboutJade:

On first glance this does not make sense since Camila is not involved in the story about Jade's divorce and the sex tape.

However if you look at the scenes before the Camila scene in class, then "ep4_toldDerekAboutJade" triggers the event with Jade before class where she tells mc about the sex tape, the divorce and slaps him several times in the face. I suppose that the shock of this event causes mc to skip dialog and possible flirt with Camila so that mc misses the lewd scene with Camila.

mc "It's not you... You just caught me on a bad day. Let's study."

Without crowdfunding what did you do in thanksgiving party?
I remeber it's a pain in the ass because the sum of the activities is 12$ and with only 8$ it's difficult to make everyone happy

This was my Thanksgiving board. Perks at the time were Pink WeiB and DIK Party.

I wasn't able to max out all the activities, but that doesn't matter that much. There's no difference between New Alcohol and Leftover Alcohol in terms of how it directly affects your score (you get 1,000 base points for each); the only difference is a few more DIKs get a small happiness boost. The same is actually true for all Activities that cost money. If it costs money, you get 1,000 points; if it's free you get 0 points. So it pays to spent at least some in each Activity category.

There's some luck involved also though. Your 4 pieces of starting inventory is randomized and at this point I was able to have 1 Drug, 1 Keg, 2 Liquor, and 2 Speakers due to having a good starting inventory set at Episode 9.

Amelia wouldn't happen at any point, I don't think. I mean think about it...She's already married and she's in the stage of her life where she doesn't quite care about carnal pleasures anymore. She's a businesswoman and mother.

Not every attractive character you meet - mature or young - is there for the MC to sleep with, or for lewd content to exist for them.

 

[SWRD]

At this point, realistically i think Cinderella's route is shaping up to be the best route for MC where he's genuinely happy.

- Maya/Josy: Whoever he ends up choosing, he'll always live with the doubt that they might still be in love with the other.
- Bella: Married teacher with possible mental issues.
- Jill: She's a sweet girl, but being too rich might present family issues and feelings of inferiority.
- Sage: Depends on the situation with Jade. Would had been perfect if there was no drama with her mom.
- Quinn: Drug dealer.
- Zoey: Ex girlfriend who ran off and caused him mental anguish.

Bottom line is, bring Cinderella home and make Neil proud.

Zoey's ass also got fatter...

how do you trigger the pack quest in josy maya route?

I've no issues with mods at all, at the end of the day if you want to ruin the experience by getting told what choices to make all power to you, (even if with Scrappy you're pointed to the wrong one) but if youre just sick of the minigames, want a bit of extra caah... There's better ways out there. And while the state of this place with the "my game crashes here" after x moment do not annoy methey do become tiresome. I just think we should be discouraging the use of scrappy at every opportunity

I know the BJ is negative for the DIKs but do you think that it will also be negative for future Heather content?

Don't say that, I haven't gave up hope yet

I can feel it, any episode now we're going back to MacAllens to meet her

I really like her to but whats up with this hyperbole about her here lol? we heard her talk like 3 sentences so far

Bella path: good, but short. We deserve more!​

Even though Bella's unique scenes were given much less attention compared to Sage and Jill's paths: her route in the update feels shorter - Bella was given a lot of attention in the main storyline.
It's cool to see Bella become a friend and mentor to the whole gang of MGs and MC with Derek. And you know, it feels so natural that it doesn't feel like a far-fetched plot when Maya and her problems brought them all together. Bella goes from being a shadow recluse with death glare, remembering her past self, enjoying to relaxing and feeling great in the company of new friends. Her house even becomes a kind of headquarters for gathering together and parties. In this update, the "wild Bella" is fully revealed and we see her party side. Bella's party is no worse than DIKs, and if you're on the main Lis paths, it's even more fun. Almost naked party with all MGs together? Thank you, Bella. It was an unforgettable experience.
Look at her having fun! She's completely different person now.

What I was disappointed with was that Bella's unique scenes were short, if you take out the trip with Jill (which is Bella and Jill's shared content) there's not much content left. So far MC and Bella's relationship hasn't made a huge leap from Ep10, but our guy is finally not afraid to ask her questions and is more comfortable with her. We learn a little about Bella's past, her parents dying in a car accident, we get some sweet and heartfelt scenes, we see MC becoming more comfortable with Bella and not feeling weird. The chemistry between them is funny and they constantly poke fun at each other.
I love her sense of humor and have collected the best moments. Always laugh at her jokes, they are making the game more fun, impossible to disagree that Bella's lines/pranks are the best:

Their relationship contrasts interestingly between sweet and warm, with a key moment when Bella zips up his jacket, showing concern, and a kinky side with the same moment where she whispers to him in hot tube what she should do with him. Lewd scenes with her are some of the best in the update, as in previous updates - I don't know what it's connected with, but DPC gets inspired when doing Bella's scenes - they are dynamic, passionate and don't look like his typical sleeping DAZ slo-mo.

They're still trying to figure out how they work together and it's too early for "I love you" considering their maturity difference and pressure their illegal relationship is under. And the potential for disaster: Josy overheard Bella and Jill talking about their relationship and blabbing to Sage, and Nick the rat snitching on MC that "he's fucking the librarian" in front of the whole frat. Sooner or later, it will be revealed. Trying to hope for the best, Bella is a wonderful woman and I didn't want it to end in disaster, which is possible because the tone of the game has changed to dark. Their relationship will be tested in Episode 12, we will learn the main secret Bella has been hiding because the door has finally been opened. I'm guessing the season finale will be Bella-centric and we will get a lot of unique content with her, and finally will hear the main three words. In 18 months...

Hope you will enjoy the review, Better Cock Spock
