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

[Ottoeight]

I've waited another year now and hoped that Jade would get a little more space, but nothing. Where is the point where you can clearly decide for "Jade Path" at first and then halfway through it is virtually non-existent except in super short scenes where you are blueballed. I also think it's crap that Jade isn't even shown in the overview of the decisions at the end. It seems like Jade is just a sidegirl, but Jade would actually be my first choice. She doesn't even text on her cell phone. It's a shame...I was hoping for Jade the most and was looking forward to the fact that things might continue a bit there. Wasted opportunity, I hope that patience will be rewarded a little in the future.

There never was any Jade path.

Her role is: the red flag that will literally turn your Sage path into a fucking nightmare.

Don't the load and start images often hint at something you'll actually see in game?

No, they don't.

Tommy's not the rat. He even asks the dormies and Quinn to look around for suspects. And Rusty's definitely not it - he could simply disband the frat if he wants it to fall. Plus he's in the pictures.

My best guess is DPC's going to build a freeroam to get statements from the boys, the preps, and the dormies, and then make them slowly close it down to target one specific DIK - probably Nick - and force players to accuse/abstain/defend during a discussion/trial. Idk if Nick's going to be excommunicated, or put on probation, but I think voting out a brother in Ep11 would be too soon, and should only be done when the boys actually find the culprit(s) and get confessions. Either way it's a mess with how little we actually know, but Nick's been the red herring since ever, so he's probably innocent. I think Beth is just a pawn, and even though she may have been the one to take Cathy's nude, someone else is in charge of the operation. The Halloween photos are probably coming in handy soon for the boys to shift through the suspect list.

Also, when the jocks talk about the photos, Anthony points out to Chad it's not MC. Yet later on Ashley says Anthony believes it's MC, and she trusts Anthony. There's definitely something fishy in his statements. If 11 shows more of the jocks, there might be sth to be revealed, and the real culprit(s) might be found in 12, closing the season.

Since Rusty is DIK's president, he is the culprit's main target.

I also think that Anthony told Ashley it's MC because he wants to sabotage Derek's attempt at making it up with Ashley.

Next ep (11), if the boys continue the investigation to find the culprit among themselves, I guess we can do the detective thriller thing where the story takes us from plot point to plot point across the episode, maybe drops us a freeroam to gather evidence, and shows the traitor eventually. If not, then a Werewolf-style or Among Us minigame teaching players how to spot the liar/mole could be fun. MC could learn it from the HOTs who play it for fun, for example, and apply it to find the mole. Just DIKs sitting in a circle talking. Players read the dialogues and see the mood of the guys. Anyone surmising too much to pin it on one of the innocent guys (MC, Derek, Rusty, etc.) could be sus. Just people sitting in a circle blaming & conspiring against eachother could be fun, ominous, and serious at the same time.

Huh?!?!

I think most of the people here are not on the Jill''s path , as it not too dark compared to other .

Thats BS bud. I have a Jade only playthrough where I/MC have only have sex with her, Stephen is oblivious to the affair, Stephen divorces Jade, Stephen forfeits half of his wealth, and now I have Jade all to myself. How is that not a path? I think people would consider it to be the "Sugar Mommy" path.

it doesn't work like that... having content doesn't mean there is a path, not every side girl has a path.

DPC can always change his mind but at the moment I would say there is no path for Jade (like for Camilla for example)

It absolutely does work like that. Step 1 have an affair Step 2 keep it a secret Step 3 they get a divorce Step 4 profit.

 

[Kizma Buudi]

Too much Free Roam in the Halloween Party. It's almost enough to make me want to just delete it but I've invested too much time now lol

Episode 9 showed us that the others that have a path is Jade, Nora, Envy, Lilly, Quinn, and Riona. To say that there is no path for Jade, its like your shitting on all the Jade, Nora, Envy, Lilly, Quinn, and Riona fans.

You're right.
The fact is that most of the people here are tough, hard guys.
Too tough, too hard I would say.

And of course Jill's path is not dark enough for us.

You are in the Others path: I can tell that if you keep playing this way you will end up the game alone.

I have no idea of how a Jade scene would fit in episode 11.

 

[chuck69]

step 5- we have to wait 3 extra months on top of an already bloated dev time for a "sugar momma" path.

this is the reality, and the only reason i say, NO! ......FUCK NO! to a jade path. cut nora while we are at it. and since we are on a roll here, i have a way to fix the madame situation. mc wakes up on the cafateria floor, turns out that sage found out about jade and knocked mc out with a lunch tray. madame is really just the janitor, all previous scenes with her were just a nightmare, and i can stop planning to kill stanly for selling me a vip pass, just to send in....... that!

What I would be interested to know is if Maya says something different to the MC when he is with the Baileys. Because that's what my Maya says so that she feels uncomfortable when her father Patrick just accepts her and behaves differently when he thinks that Maya is heterosexual and that hurts Maya. This happens when my MC was with Josy. No idea if it's different if the MC picks Maya for Friday night.

does not matter who you spend time with on friday, its the same text in that scene.

 

[Darkwen]

I pretty much agree with your larger point, but I'm only aware of Josy holding on to a pic of MC and she's been crushing on him for a while even before their first date.

The part about them getting off to mc old pic that just something dallx thinks is happening but we don't know that

Damn dude, thats pretty harsh. you might as well say NO! FUCK NO! to Envy, Lilly, Quinn, and Riona as well while your at it, you Monster! How dare you mistreat my beloved Jade!

Nah, my life is pretty dark already. I need some lovey-dovey vanilla bullshit.

 

[KАRАMBA]

Ha ha, that's right.
This is the most accurate definition of Jill's path.

 

[Darkwen]

I didn't miss anything because the thing about the bisexual is written in EP5. Maya actually says this to Josy and the MC at Hangout.

What is important is what Maya says to Josy and the MC at the end of EP9. She mentions that the reason it was so much fun was because she had sex with both of them. So bisexual. But as you wrote, Maya says in EP10 that she feels more comfortable with the MC than she ever did with Josy. But she only says that when she goes to the MC. Maya realizes that she is heterosexual. But if the MC goes to Josy, then this conversation between Maya and the MC doesn't happen. There is only one MC and Maya is either with the MC or the MC is with Josy. So only one of the two scenarios at the end of BaDIK is counted as an end.

What I would be interested to know is if Maya says something different to the MC when he is with the Baileys. Because that's what my Maya says so that she feels uncomfortable when her father Patrick just accepts her and behaves differently when he thinks that Maya is heterosexual and that hurts Maya. This happens when my MC was with Josy. No idea if it's different if the MC picks Maya for Friday night.

Still it proves Maya fears falling behind Josy and MC and fears about what am I sexually. Which goes to my point about Maya's progress with MC. I don't believe Mc going to Josy's changes how Maya feels it just a confessing that hasn't been revealed to MC yet. We seen before the same thing can be revealed later or even revealed by someone else like the story behind Maya tongue piercing and Josy backing out we can learn it from Maya in ep 5 or Josy in ep 10.

im just being a realist. the updates take longer every time dpc branches the story. also, with more branches, it becomes more difficult to have all of them make sense to the main plots. dont get me wrong, there are plenty of paths id like to see, sara/mel, cammy, but id rather have a great story (that i live to see the end of) over every girl getting her own path.
a jade/cathy spin off doesnt sound bad though.

getting an option to tell jade that she looks like my grandma would be nice.
