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

[felicemastronzo]

Yes. Heart make guy do dumb thing if he think about pretty girl

Happens. Not exactly stretching my suspension of disbelief

it's not a problem for the suspension of disbelief because it's an unmotivated moment with no consequences, the game forgets about it immediately, Sage and MC forget about it in the minute between the proposal and the kiss

the scene at the HOTS party loses something without it (i.e. if we just accept Sage's proposal then)? i don't think so and in theory it should be an important moment in the story between MC and Sage

the whole "guys in love do stupid things" thing always seems pretty weak to me, it's a free pass for anything and we should start caring when they do something sensible?

I hope everyone's excited about the weekend. To kick it off, I have an announcement to make.

I've been working on a side project lately since last year's survey showed me who you wanted to see more of.

And today, I can proudly announce a new project named Being a Dawe, with a story centered around the jocks' struggle on campus.

View attachment 1734093

You'll see some familiar lovable faces like Dawe, Chad, and Anthony, and not to mention popular girls like Arieth and background character #2.

There will also be a new character named April, last name Fools.

Haha, I hope I got some of you with that, but I doubt it.

Development news
This week I worked mainly on static renders. I've focused on Josy/Maya, Others, and Jill branches. Sage and Bella already got similar treatment before this.

The current progress is ~800 static renders and 40 animations.

We're still very early on in development, yet ironically we have surpassed the produced content of the Interlude now.

I've almost reached a point where I will focus on free-roam events and lewd scenes for several weeks. I have many, oh so many, planned animations to pose. So, I hope you'll be ok with hearing me ramble about that for a while.

But first, I will isolate myself and write as much dialogue as possible this next week. I need more written material to continue creating art.

Poll news
Josy was the winner in the last week's poll. She will receive a Special render set in episode 9.

She hasn't gotten a Special render set since Episode 1, so I'm very excited about making a new one for her; it's been long overdue, and I will do my best.

Have a nice weekend

Dr PinkCake

Too bad DPC can't take a joke, I would have loved to read about how an interlude on Dawe could be a good idea and was absolutely necessary to the plot

 

[dalli_x]

After replaying Interlude, I discovered why the MC didn't know if it was love between him and Zoey or not. Why the MC has not yet told his LI, egeal which one, that he loves her.

Zoey's notebook says that the MC told Zoey the three words during sex. Zoey was surprised and almost fell off the MC laughing. So it is written in Zoey's notebook.

Later, shortly before their sex Zoey wants the MC to make dirty talk.

Zoey: "I know you are, baby. How about if you talk dirty to me instead?"
MC: "Um..."
Zoey: "What's wrong?"
MC: "Nothing."
Zoey: "It's not about last time is it?"
MC: "You laughed at me; that leaves scars."
Zoey: "I didn't Iaugh at you. It just took me by surprise."

The MC has been emotionally scarred by this and rightly wonders whether or not it was love between Zoey and the MC. For the MC, it was love.

This changed my view of Zoey, even though she doesn't like to talk about feelings, her reaction to the three words was inappropriate, especially because she knows the MC and knows he is a softie. But karma catches up with Zoey. She realizes that she loves the MC too, but the chance is gone. Zoey will end up like Emma. Zoey realized herself that she and Emma have things in common. Ergo, Zoey could become a disruptive factor for the LI's because Emma also can't see Bret dating other girls.

This will be exciting.

The MC only understood that something happened in this room, but not what it is. So he will not talk about it, because he does not want to make an unfounded accusation. That would be very counterproductive.

But that is the thing, I sill feel this outcome is only happening this way because DPC wants the plot not question it too early, before he hits us with one of his cliffhanger twists.

Maybe I am expecting too much in asking the MC to connect what he knows about Quinn's restaurant, the 'free tuition' rumors from Maya(Even though he questions this exact thing in his inner monologue at that time), what he has seen here at the party and the fact that Burke is the head faculty member, but in worst case scenario he should be able to realize that Burke is very likely a client in Quinn's restaurant.

Yet he still doesn't tell Maya anything, not when she tells him that she slapped Quinn in ep6, not before going to the meeting. He doesn't have proof, but he at least should feel the need to warn Maya to not get her hopes up and be weary of this shady individual. At this point I have a theory MC is tired of Maya's bs and is setting up her downfall so he can have Josy' succulent ass all for himself.

Wow dalli_x , while your theories sometimes go beyond current knowledge of science this one actually makes alot of sense.
I think even hitting it right on the spot. Just hoping DPC forcing MC to make choises we normally should not make. Just to add drama to our current relationship(s)
Only the "others" path would make a profit out of then

To be fair his forced interactions have been pretty light compared to other VN I've played, basically DPC forces us the introductory interactions with the LI, such as Bella drunken kiss, asking Jill out, living with Maya and he also forces us to stay somewhat friendly with the LI we reject/ignore, because they are needed for the overall story.

I know some people hate stuff like these, but I think all things considered, at least in terms of LI, DPC forced interactions have been believable so far and I am perfectly ok with it. That might change in the future, we have to wait and see what he has in store for Zoey.

Edit: If you read my last post you can see I have issues with the forced interactions related to the overall plot, but the ones related to the love interests are just fine.

could it be that the words he said are written somewhere?

I think this is partly to serve as an explanation if Fuckface decides not to purchase from Quinn's restaurant. If he doesnt order the takeout, he has no proof of what's going on, just suspicion.

Also, I suspect DPC always intended on fleshing out Quinn further. So for plot reasons, the MC doesnt explore further

 

[NebulousShooter]

Holy shit, of all the times I've played its the first time I got hit by Sage in sparing. Half of the HP bar in one punch, forget the alphas, what steroids is she on

you're right it's a bit forced. but a conscious mc would have created too many problems to the plot with both Quinn and Sage

if MC really understood what happened to Mona and therefore what Maya would have risked, could he ever agree to organize the Halloween party with Quinn? to me it seems ridiculous that he doesn't at least raise doubts and accept Sage's will even if he is in a relationship with Maya (and that Maya accepts it too), but anyway he MUST organize the Halloween party with Quinn (probably it will be an important moment in the economy of the story and not just a fuckfest like the Preps party and the one in the dormitory), so something must be forgiven to Quinn

in the same way if he had even a suspicion about what Quinn is doing he should warn Sage, I'm a little bit afraid that this thing will be thrown in his face again, instead this senile state allows the story to proceed placidly.

no steroids, just horny

 

[sorco2003]

I don't think she meant "Ride me, Zoey." That's what Zoey wanted to hear. If the MC had said that, Zoey wouldn't have almost fallen off the MC laughing.

It's all written down, there is no room for interpretation here,
"I want you to talk dirty, and those words just made me proud."
" next time I promise to ride you."

 

[NebulousShooter]

The MC told Maya in EP2 that Quinn uses the girls to make money. This is how it is written.

The MC can refuse Quinn's restaurant offer, but that doesn't mean he doesn't agree if some girls voluntarily choose to make money that way. However, he can make it unmistakably clear that he does not want such a girl. All he has to do is refuse Quinn's offer.

Geoff was looking for his daughter. We now know that Sage is not his daughter. But from Sage we learn that her father is looking for her, and that is Stephen Burke. He sees a tall sexy redhead walk into a room and mistakes Sage for Mona. Why is Mona going into that room? Order from Quinn. Mona is probably supposed to fuck a foreman and is waiting for the foreman. But Stephen comes in and Mona drops that she just wanted to fuck young guys for money. Jade only suspects that Stephen has been fucking coeds. He neither agrees nor denies it. Somehow this sounds familiar from Interlude. Bret did the same thing with Emma. But opportunity makes thieves, as they say. Jade believes that, and Stephen has her chance in EP5. So Stephen takes the initiative. But Mona runs away.

EP6 "Damage Control"
Quinn finds out, of course. But she doesn't know everything either. She assumes Stephen wanted to buy sex from Mona, but she doesn't know the story. So Quinn uses Professor Stephen Burke's name as leverage against Mona.

Quinn: "Do you think Professor Stephen Burke would allow a female student to solicit sex on campus?"

The sentence is very strange because Stephen is said to have done just that with Mona. Ergo, he wouldn't mind. But Stephen likes women his age. It is likely that he had sex with Cathy. There is even said to have been a threesome with Isabella, his wife Jade, and Stephen continues to stalk Isabella.

Sttephen deleted Mona's tuition. Ergo, she already existed. This would then mean that Stephen already fucked Mona, even though she didn't have it. Paradoxical or not?

But why does Mona have to go?

Quinn: "Do you think Professor Stephen Burke will allow a female student to solicit sex on campus?"

Maybe Mona and Stephen made a different deal? Mona has agreed to tell everything she knows about Quinn. Stephen is also sure he wants to protect his daughter Sage from a criminal girlfriend. So Stephen lets Mona go for now because Quinn also threatened Mona and she will come back later when Quinn is gone.

Didn't you also notice that Quinn doesn't show up in EP9 Renders despite her popularity with the players? That gives me pause for thought. Quinn probably won't disappear in EP9, but she's probably on DPC's hit list.

You know what, your theory made me think that it would be an interesting twist if we just assume since Stephen is perving on Cathy and Bella that he is also sleazy with students and it turns out he is not, he is just a buffoon like his son(Porn Logic dictates that we can't have competent male villains anyway) and a drunken buffoon at that, stumbling from one place to another. His connection with Quinn and the tuition program could be explained in some other way maybe.

But it has the big problem of Jade knowing/having proof(?) that Stephen has fucked students before.

It is exactly the same...

That's only with Dik affinity, it's "take my visa" with chick affinity....

Okay... take my visa ( while I quickly revoke access to it ) just leave my beer and shut the fucking door behind yaaa !

Holy shit, of all the times I've played its the first time I got hit by Sage in sparing. Half of the HP bar in one punch, forget the alphas, what steroids is she on

Do you play it on Hard mode ? As I figured " that " Sage " fight " is on another level than all the others... a strong second place when you " fight " Tommy It's best to give him another opportunity to bump into Tania once again

 

[vogelbeest]

But it has the big problem of Jade knowing/having proof(?) that Stephen has fucked students before.

In the scene with Jade throwing picture frames at Stephen, she does that after he told her he's been with 3 students...
So she knows from the source, what she doesn't know is how he managed to do that or who they are.

I believe this classics match the CHICK affinity

 

[nxhr]

At the end of the Interlude, we can see MC in a phone call with his dad, talking about Zoey being back and all, but we also hear Sage shouting at MC to get out of the restroom. I wonder if the development at that point is affected by your choices with Sage and Jade.
