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

[Konek Besar]

I just realized why Maya and Jill looks familiar:

Maya looks a little like Rhian Sugden based on the hair and chin (maybe).
Jill kinda looks like Miranda Kerr based on the cheekbones and lips.

The Interlude is annoying because it's supposed to be immediately followed by Chapter Nine, which it very much hasn't. Sure, Ch9 will be the next thing released, and going forward new players will be able to immediately jump in, but as of now, it's "pointless".

Story-wise, DPC should have kept it attached as the intro to Chapter Nine instead of releasing it as it's own thing. Mechanically or because of the save conversion, it was wise to put it out when he did. If only he'd followed up with Chapter Nine a few months later instead of whatever we'll have to wait now.

While I'm a filthy unapologetic blue haired girl and interlude enjoyer, I have to agree with the 2nd part.

In my opinion Tybalt character is not really appropriate, with a more credible antagonist Jill's story would have been more engaging. I know that would have implied an (avoidable) NTR and that is a sensible aspect for some very vocal players. But Tybalt being an embarrassing and disgusting wimp with a tiny cock makes everything too easy. Jill is just there to wait you to pick her up, she has no other guy close to her. I like when there are strong opponents in games and I feel Tybalt is a missed opportunity.
Just think what would have been if he was a somehow fascinating posh guy, still a despicable egocentric person but that kind of guy that a girl could fell for. A credible womanizer opponent that gives MC hard time. I think that Jill story is going to reveal new and bigger obstacles in the next episodes, otherwise it feels too boring, and DPC does not seem the guy into plain plots (but he could change his attitude to maximize supporters and income, I sincerely would not blame him too much, this game is fixing him for life).

You're right, Tybalt's role is a clown and a joke who fails all the time. This is such a toy for mockery from the players and a lot of memes.
The DPC has not yet introduced a single serious and dangerous antagonist in the game. Perhaps this will be Steven Burke, Vinnie, Quinn (several small antagonists) or maybe it's some kind of gray cardinal. Which has not yet been presented.
But Tybalt? I don't see him as a serious threat.

While I agree a more serious romantic rival might have been more intriguing when pursuing Jill, Tybalt's buffoonish character is absolutely necessary for helping maintain the overall light atmosphere of the game, and in my opinion his presentation is the most laugh-out-loud entertaining moment of it:




Tybalt's presence is not just for a false or inadequate competition for Jill, either. He's set up as a contrast for Sage, who is a complete opposite despite their upbringing by mutual parents.

Additionally, he could also factor in why Bella has issues with Jade. We do not yet know what those issues are exactly, but parents are often judged by their children, and she completely loathes Jade's son and had a false impression of her daughter.

So, the Tybalt character has other uses other than trying to cock block you.

i also kinda take issue with this from a story perspective. Jill only has resisted Tybalt for the last however long its been because DPC never explicitly says anything happened offscreen. IMO, The in universe writing doesnt line up with Jill not have already dated Tybalt solely because she refuses to say no to people and due to her overly polite nature and middle school mindset when it comes to what dating is. if she was dumb enough to fall for the blackmail plot, then 2 or 3 years ago she was likely even dumber and easier to manipulate into a date.

this is just my take concerning Jill's character and her lack of consistency in characterization. of course in the end DPC will try to steer the canon where he wants it, but some things will probably just never jive 100% for me in BaDIK

People often overlook her behaviour on Rooster or just never read it. She has more interactions with Tybalt on there than anywhere else.

She isn’t as spineless as the blackmail thing makes her look. She shuts him down hard, calls him out for the hearts around a photo and outright says he’s misleading people. She tells him not to bully her friends. She’s firm with him in nearly every interaction we see culminating in the complete dressing down at the dinner he proposes at.

I personally don’t think she’s inconsistent. She’s made to seem inconsistent by the blackmail being paper thin bullshit. She reacts like it is a big deal. The story tries to gloss over this with her comments about how he’d just get people to lie for him if MC denies any wrong doing but the blackmail being ineffective is the source of this inconsistency not her character.

If DPC actually made decent blackmail it makes more sense… like if DPC noticed the huge property damage MC was party to whilst trespassing it would make some sense she took the path of least resistance.

There’s no reason to think she ever gave in before and dated him. It’s made pretty clear she only agreed to dates because of the blackmail. Took Bella along to technically fulfil her obligations and when it came down to it shut him down hard. She was consistent other than giving in to protect MC against bullshit paper thin blackmail.

This presentation is simply the funniest moment of the entire second season. While the overall vibe of Season 2 is more serious and lacks the craziness of Hell Week, this moment reminded me that this is still BaDIK with its light-hearted, fun vibe.
I look forward to Vixens and what Tybalt will do next after his total humiliation. I think after Sage's cliffhanger he'll find out about it and come up with another clown plan.

I don't think so...

first of all, it wouldn't explain Jill's presence (it seems to me too complicated for Jill to help out financially or otherwise as high-level acquaintances, too many missing dialogues: Zoey telling MC, MC telling Jill, Jill telling whoever, Jill telling MC, MC telling Zoey), then Zoey still has yet to arrive, she can't bring such drama already

simply Zoey is a selfish child who when her mother lost her own mother, she thought it best to go away on a sabbatical trip

DPC makes Zoey's mother be sick so that he can try and guilt trip us into taking Zoey back since she'll have no one other than MC. Sounds fun, I can see that happening.

MC still cares for Zoey and he probably holds Zoey's mother in high regard as well, so he goes visit them at the hospital and his girlfriend goes with him, completely believable imo. Also, this scene might not be exclusive to Jill, we might get a version of this event for every LI

 

[Trojaner]

Or Zoey calls Fuckface in a panic while Fuckface is hanging out with Jill, so Jill offers to drive Fuckface to the hospital. Don't need any mental gymnastics to get Jill to the hospital whoever is ill/injured.

Well yeah ... but she was still bitching in her head if you choose helping Sage over her.

Anything is viable, especially in a porn game.

But Zoey has just been introduced, it seems to me the right move to make us love her even more to enter the story head-on by immediately involving us in a thousand-decibel drama.

Then not enough Zoey we throw in Jill, who is now a side girl for 4 out of 5 players.

just the scene everyone has been waiting for....

 

[felicemastronzo]

Or as someone else pointed out, it's a route to get Zoey back into the main story while building sympathy for those who dislike her due to the interlude. Even when not on Jill path you are still friends with her, that's unavoidable, like being friends with Maya, Josy and Sage. Unfortunately there's a limited cast of characters so even when you decide not to pursue relationships with characters they are still involved with Fuckface on a friendly level, or it's hard to build plot points.

And it's just from that perspective in my opinion it's a misconception.

first you have to build the empathic bond, and then I can accept being involved in her problems

otherwise the effect is the opposite and Zoey ends up being perceived even more as ballast

and also this unwavering friendship between MC and the LIs is not exactly working out so well

Agree, it will be Maya 2.0 where we are unwilling participants in her woes. That won't be a problem for players like me, that we are already sympathetic to the smurf, but for the ones that loathed the Interlude, or Zoey herself, being strong-armed is not the way to getting to like her. I can guarantee it will lead to even more frustration.

Yea I agree. Doesn't seem to make much sense that everything lead up to that is going to be packed in one episode. Makes even less sense if that scene happens regardless of whether you're on Jill's path. If Jill's just a friend then she's basically going with you to the hospital for your former girlfriend's mom who she has no real connection to, can't do much to help at this point (even with money, a scene like "the operation is going to be expensive" isn't going to happen at the initial outset), barely *hangs out with the MC outside of her route, barely interacts with the rest of the main cast, and at that point has probably only exchanged introductions with Zoey. What I'm saying is "Please, don't be about Zoey. I like the character but I just don't care." Lol.

Also, I don't think she's that selfish for someone her age. What would Zoey do? Put her life on hold just to sit around at home and comfort her mom? For how long? It's not like her mom's struggling financially or looks like she needs any kind of help. Zoey's mom also has a husband? boyfriend?(can't be bothered to remember). She has her own life to live and her grandma dying is shown to be the catalyst for her short story.

"Thinning" in this case would indicate a negative connotation meaning she looks "weaker" or "unhealthy". Usually shock or concern will accompany it. "Slimmer" would have a more healthy connotation. Still, it's not like it's a clear indication of anything dire in someone's eyes but is often used as cliche foreshadowing, especially if it's only "a bit thinner"which could mean anything or nothing at all. In fact, it seems more like it shows that Zoey cares about her mom and shows concern over her well-being. Otherwise, she wouldn't have even noticed.
