VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [Dr PinkCake]

[Pingusecret]

This is actually a case where DPC didn't do enough research about American law and got the facts wrong to a degree. If you are under a certain age (I forget the exact age it might be like 21 or something like that) you cannot get a federal student loan without your parent's permission. And basically all loans are through the federal program. Maya needing her dad to sign her loan is not out of the ordinary. Also the loan money would not be sent to her father at all once it was applied for and approved. It would be given directly to the college and then any left over for given to Maya by the college. There was a case of someone I knew in college where she was estranged from her parent's and could not get a student loan because they wouldn't approve it and she was too young. There are exceptions in cases of abuse and the like however but you need to appeal it to the Department of Education. Josy who's parents paid for her college in cash instead of loans on the other hand did need to wait for her dad to turn over the funds like we saw in episode 5.

That makes a lot of sense. DPC being European, here student loands are granted by banks (its a loan with a longer grace period and lower interest rate basically) in which case parents often back the loan agains their income. However they have no control over the release of the funds (legally they could back out dependng on the country). Here I think we have to assume Maya went to a bank. (interestingly the MC has a loan which means he is either fucked for life because the interest rates must be killer with him being poor, we are playing a top student which would easily get the bank on board, or the grandparents are actually involved).

you can go to the end of this last episode by being with the 5 girls.

the problem being that when trouble comes it will surely be too late.

in addition, the game does not ask us to confirm our actions or our relationships. For example, in the last episode you couldn't refuse to go to Bella's house after the tennis match.

to reassure you, know that it will quickly be able to redo a game without the mini games, and skipping the dialogues.

I advise you to play neutral, and keep back ups at important times:

- the choice to go or not to see Bella after inviting Jill

- end of the first tennis date with Jill, if you don't kiss her there, nothing will happen again afterwards

- the moment when we decide for Maya and Josy

- for Sage, you can keep a back up during the first guitar lesson

I think it's other choices that can close relationships. Even more than flirting with several girls at the same time. For example, if you've been a client of Quinn (prostitution), it might close the door with Sage, Maya and Josy.

Thank you! I will do that. I suspect that two playthrough will no be enough to see all posible outcomes. I didn't play Ep 7 yet, but I see many of you are talking about landmines and apparently innofensive choices that become important in the end. Fuck!

This might be helpful to you.

Thank you very much! It will help me for sure to think my playthrough.

Threesomes with everyone EXCEPT Maya & Josy. lol. That's the crew that's WANTS a 3-way relationship and they're always talking about how they should find time ALONE with each other! LMAO

Technically they do have a threesome in Episode 6 to complete their Scavenger Hunt, but it was at least as focused on the awkwardness as it was on the sex.

I'm pretty sure that's intentional, though: the game offers the promise of a happy ending with two girls, so obviously we have to jump through some hoops to get there. If it jumped straight to the hot group sex it would make things boring by the time we got to the end (and might overshadow some of the other paths).

I'm curious what everyone taste is.

Rank these models from your favorite to least

Quinn
Jill
Maya
Bella
Sage
Josy

Just the models? Probably:

1. Josy
2. Maya
3. Quinn
4. Sage
5. Jill
6. Bella

But it's hard to be definitive as Bella's face is much more attractive than her body, and both Maya and Jill can vary widely depending on the angle, pose and lighting.

Ya I loved this scene between Jill & Josy, personally. My hope is that Jill will start fighting for MC in a 'new' way - she'll start dressing a little more provocatively, and getting more physical with him as a way of competing, and this will trigger additional drama potentially with her family as if they are privy to any of this behavior, they'll likely feel she's acting like Lana.
I see this sort of like Sandy in 'Grease' where toward the end she stops being the goody-two-shoes and starts trying to change for Danny and be more like his crowd. (hope she doesn't start smoking though, lol)

I never liked the ending of Grease: Sandy's change seemed way too extreme, making it feel rather sad. I'd rather go for a more even approach where Jill and the MC bring out the best in each other, which could be particularly fun if the MC has a little DIK in him.

And speaking of Jill - I remember there being a preview where she was in front of a lake or something, was that in this episode? I didn't get that scene, personally, if it was and I wonder if it's because of my DIK affinity, maybe?

The scene is there, on the final day of the episode. I'm not sure what triggers it, but my guess is it's either her Hangout in Episode 6 or non-DIK affinity.

I mean, in my DIK route, Jill is in the bathroom with Josy comforting her because Jill realizes she got competition with the MC. Yeah it was after the presentation, I'm just wondering if it will not trigger the bathroom scene if your in the full CHICK route.. and I think the bathroom scene with Josy will trigger after Josy&Sage recognized your dick in the Tybalt presentation, I wonder if you can avoid that.

The scene will play even with permanent CHICK affinity as long as: a) the MC used Tybalt's phone to take a dick pic in Episode 5, and b) at least one* of the girls in the audience recognizes his... err.... handiwork.

*Technically, I've only tested this with Sage, but I'm pretty sure it would work with Josy, too.

Quinn: Who took my Gin!!!???

MC: I did it.

Quinn: Oh, sure babe, no problem

I'm more amused by the implication that it would be wrong to take Sage's whiskey (even to give it to Sage herself), but it's a-okay to swipe Quinn's booze right under her nose.[/QUOTE]

 

[Bill_Buttlicker]

Do we really need to pick 1 love interest currently or in the future ...? Can there be sort of harem like end...what do you guys think

Not sure. I went through all 6 chapters without going for Sage, but it seems in Chapter 7 I got the chance to try it again with her. Not sure but I think the same happens with Josy and Maya. So even if you blow some of the girls off you might get the chance to reconnect with them in future chapters.

I wonder what consequences will be involved in losing the mansion repair game?

DPC has indicated their won't be any "non-standard game overs"...

Maybe you get knocked off the Sage Path if you don't repair the mansion by Halloween?

Sage: "Dude, you say you want a relationship with me but you can't even be motivated to get the mansion fixed in time for the Halloween Party, even though I made it clear how important that was to me.

If this is how little you care for me, I think I'll accept that internship in New York. There's no point in sticking around here."

 

[PipeLayer2000]

Lily has been the character that has improved the most next to Josy in this update for me, as she has gone from being a toy to rivaling Quinn as best side-girl ( for me better than her ).

Lily scares me in a hot way

Hahaha, she's really misterious to me. I mean, I still havent figured out her. What's her deal? Why is she trying to get involved in some sort business with Quinn? She's digging for informartion constantly. Maybe she just wants to have an upper hand on every front, but still, she acts like an undercover cop haha

But you'll need to have all rooms repaired or only the new windows? Because I focused too much on repairing and I'm a bit short of cash haha

Being a DIK compressed version math101 bug-fix

This is a bug-fix patch, which fixes errors with the math101 PNG files in the compressed versions.

There has been a recurring problem with the math_cheat.png and math_choice.png files in the compressed versions, which have been broken in several releases.

This triggers an exception error in the class mini-games, which crashes the game. These math101 PNG files will be mentioned in the error report.

This archive contains copies of these PNG files from the full version of the BeingADIK-0.6.1-pc-lin-patch.

Installation instructions:
Unzip the archive and copy the PNG files to: game/images/classes/math101/ - overwriting the existing files.

Examples:

Strange... I get this error but I'm unable to follow your fix because when I open the game folder I have only 3 folders there: Cache, PPython, Saves. I even used search to look for the folders you mentioned, but I came up short. Any ideas?

Does anyone have save where Bella don't reject mc in the car because of Cathy?

I am missing the second, third and forth scenes of the 7th episode, any idea what they are?

(interestingly the MC has a loan which means he is either fucked for life because the interest rates must be killer with him being poor, we are playing a top student which would easily get the bank on board, or the grandparents are actually involved).

If Maya's parents make too much money she would not qualify for a federal student loan and thus would have to either pay for college each semester in cash(what Josy's dad is doing) or get a private loan from a bank(possibly what she is doing? Not sure how much money Maya's family has it's never made clear). If she is getting it from a bank she would have likely needed a co-signer anyway because an 18 year old is going to have fuck all of a credit history and would need to a co-signer almost certainly. For MC he is almost certainly getting things like Pell Grants and Stafford loans which is a federal loan. The interest rate is the same for everyone and not based on income. Since he is going for an engineering degree which is a fairly high paying job he should be fine as long as he graduates.

did u lose on purpose because ur too tempted to hit tybalt's on the balls ?
then yeah i think that would give u - RP for bella i suppose since ur supposed to just play and win normally (hitting tybalt's 1 or 2 times in the face seems fine) and not to continue with cathy when u drove her home

Anyone got a quick patch from 7.0 to 7.2?
