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

[aarbei23]

Burke is an asshole, but he´s Sage´s dad. It´s only natural that Sage loves her father, even if he´s and asshole, [...]

Ehm, wasn't Burke the one who tried to abuse Mona? And considering Sage is adopted... I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out Sage was abused and this is why she's so casual about sex. Then again, she obviously loves her parents. Which is kinda weird considering what we know about them and how other characters (mainly Bella) behave towards them. So maybe Sage is a case of Stockholm syndrome? It also would put Tybalt in a different light; DPC obviously wants us to hate Tybalt and makes us laugh when he's miserable. So I fully expect him to make us feel bad and show Tybalt was actually a victim.

Do we know the Burkes are RICH? I mean really rich not just well off. I don't think we do. I think it's safe to assume Jill's and Rusty's family have real wealth, but the Burke's we don't know that. They certainly wield a lot of influence at B&R but BIG dough we don't know that.
One more thing, in my opinion, I think it's certain Mona is going to return. That bit of drama is too juicy for DPC to pass up.

I want Mona back. She was one of the best side chicks and definitely I would have made a save just for her like I did for Riona and Lily. Give her back DPC!!

Have a look how many reviews it have compared to other games on the site...

Awesome city of broken dreamers graphic in your sig.

"Rio" is super awesome. However in the story she sure could fill the future role as witness for the prosecution. One police interview with her and she would fold and with the right pressure, describe all of the Quinn business plan.

 

[imaginatus]

ok, it's good, i managed to solve the problem

What's the solution. I have the same problem

 

[TuffyTenToes]

I love all LI's pretty much equally, but damn if that Others path is not going to be fun as hell. Sally, Elena (fingers crossed), Heather, the Pink Rose girls, Quinn, Riona, Camila, Penny, Kylie, Becky, Christie, KRJ, Tara.... and I'm sure I'm missing a lot more.

You can bet that the MC will give his footlong to everyone and probably dying from all the fucking, but it will be worth it.

One of the best games there is, great work DPC

Hi folks!

-I had played Ch 7.2 with Scrappy's 7.2 Mod.
-I installed Ch 8 & obviously it kicked me out (for me when Bella is talking to James & he lays on the couch).
-I tried one of the fixes and that seemed to work fine up until the 'free-roam' where you have to invite Maya & Josy over.
(could do everything on the task list (even setup the room) except actually invite them over & progress the scene.)
-It didn't kick me out, just didn't allow me to progress.

* I know people have asked about this before (I tried 1 solution & it didn't work)
So I was hoping someone would be a saint- & give me a step-by-step of how to properly install/setup Ch 8 (8.2) on pc
so I can play my game where I left off (& I assume if you've set everything up properly, Scrappy's Ch 8 Mod works fine?)

(ALso, pls include links to files mentioned (or posts with links) )
I know its a pain but this would be greatly appreciated!!

Love this game, but I'm pretty sure I'd need an in-game WT to get through it (so starting from scratch wouldn't work IDT)
Also, got bad case of ADD, so really need the step-by-step instructions PLS (going to 10 different places to get stuff without it just confuses the shit out of me & probably why the other solution didn't work)

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried to update the scrappy mod too? It worked for me

short question when you bring out your mod, will it appear for both seasons?

I know making out that Tybalt of all people isn't really rich is a fun plot-device (for argument's sake).
But I don't think it fits here because he would be looked down upon by all the kids in the fraternity that come from real money (even if not the same level as Burg & Royce.) He might be tolerated because of his family's influence (a genuine part of the group, but I don't see him having the respect/clout in a group like that without real wealth/status behind him).

The dev could also be making a point about the difficulties of trying to 'fit in' in a highschool/college environment (like Maya, Josy, Chad (definitely)). Not just for the drama, but also to point out that all the characters have more to them than the stereotypes they first appear as. Or I could be completely wrong & it's just him trying to add more depth to characters as the story progresses.

But really never heard of a Saint thing called COMPRESSION?

Yea considering the nature of this site, that rather made me think its dubious rather than good.

Yes, I agree. Maintaining the girls you reject as friends is a narrative resource to keep the characters into the story. Problem is, when you are not into the route of those characters, is no more Tremolo´s (the player) story, but some side story in which Tremolo has a secondary part. In my case, I can´t care less about M&J love story and drama. It´s not my Tremolo´s story. I don´t even find plausible that Tremolo continues involved into M&J plotline. It´s like he has known their secret by chance, and now is trapped into their dramas due emotional blackmail, more than for friendship. It only has sense if Tremolo were into their route. And probably the same happens with people that is not into Bella´s or Jill´s story, for example. It´s the problem of that way of writing a story.

Devs tend to bite more than they can chew. DPC is creating a story with a lot of characters and main an secondary branches. Now he has the most difficult task: to finish it well, and before all his fans are dead of old age or boring to death to wait for new chapters. A story a bit more simple and with a few less characters could be more rounded, with less scenes hammered into the plot. Also, would be easier to write and the updates would be more frequents. As you say, it would be a more intimate story, in which Tremolo (the player) could be involved in every branch in a more personal way, not just because, apparently, he´s a saint that can´t see a damsel in distress (even the ones that hurt his feelings) without trying to help them.

JAL this can also be viewed the other way around. If the player does not reject JM, i.e. chooses the romantic path for both, he is still forced by DPC to interact with Sage, Isabella and Jill.

This is exactly where I see what DPC is getting at. He wants the player to decide on his LI as early as possible.

The later the player decides, the more complicated the friendship is likely to become and the jealousy factor that DPC introduced (I believe in EP7) will strain the LI relationship and friendships.

The example below is from the JM path. I don't have any other path. But it shows the pattern of DPC.

My MC has no romantic interaction with the other LI's.

Jill: My MC helps Jill with tennis against Tybalt and the concert. But he can't and won't help Jill on her third date with Tybalt. What is the consequence. Jill stands up and shows Tybalt her cute raccoon teeth. Conclusion: The MC has boosted Jill's confidence. This is going to be a great friendship.

Isabella: The MC convinces and permanently proves to Isabella that he is a decent young man and not the pervert who ran around campus naked. She also sees him helping Jill. Summary: At the end of the concert, Isabella gives the MC a friendly hug after saying that it warms her heart what great friends Jill has. Yes, Isabella was damp with the hug. But not because she was excited about the hug, but because the ice queen's ice shell is melting.

Sage: Needs a real friend more than anything. From the scene of EP5, I conclude that Sage's experiences with boys have always been the same. Falling in love quickly, horny sex, and then bye-bye. She probably never had a real boyfriend. So it's all the more important that the MC stands up for Sage and Maya during the walk in the woods. Did you see Sage's reaction to this. Just fantastically portrayed by DPC. After that reaction from the MC, Sage knows that the MC is her best friend and will remain so whether she can help Maya or not.

In short, this is to show that there can be a happy ending if the MC is and remains a decent guy. There will be no jealousy with and among the LI's because there is simply no reason for it. But that's what Zoey is on her way to the MC for.

So the real game wasn't the giving of the DIK, but the friends we made along the way... of giving Sage the DIK .

I think you're right though and this probably also reflects back on the game's title. I'm convinced "Being a DIK" is a meta joke made by DPC about how everyone who plays adult games only thinks with their DIK*. So I expect some bad endings/lecture about how these girls also have feelings. Instead, if we actually treat the girls as people, the endings are probably going to be great. Hell, DPC pretty much spells it out with the whole Hell Week thing; at the end it wasn't about completing all of the assignments, it was about the friendships you got from it.

* Imagine that thinking porn is only about getting people off...

I wonder if in future episodes you break up with LI and pursue one the LI you may have rejected.

 

[Warscared]

That happened to me. I was 16. My first gf left me 'because she was Young and didnt want to fall in love bullshit' and the next month she was dating one of my best friends.

I don't know what Jill is going to do but I never talked to them again.

dude, that guy saved your life, imagine it would have taken you 15 years to discover how much of a whore she was? nowadays you would be divorcing getting your heart ripped out through your ass by a divorce lawyer and yours entire worlds being used as an excuse to bleed you dry in child support!

he jumped on a grenade for you! he probably told you she was a slut and you refused to believe him so he took matters on his own hands to save you... i did that for a few friends but fuck them if they refuse to believe me i just fucked the sluts and never interfered afterwards the dumb cucks!

I wonder if in future episodes you break up with LI and pursue one the LI you may have rejected.

only happens if you are super rich a super star and have a magic dick.... and even those 3 combined can end badly for you there is no anger like a spurned woman and they will never forgive you... trust me i have plenty of experience at rejecting dumb cunts after using them and then reevaluating them and trying for something more and it never works, fuck they can hold a grudge for decades!
