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

[allanl9020142]

When the hell is the update coming with Episode 9? Still wondering why in the actual fuck after the 44 different chics the mc has, still & all on deck to add to the list of hot chics fucked with so far, what the fuck would we ever want to suddenly have this cunt Zoey even be brought into the mix and damn sure waste valuable time to see what she has or hasn't been doin in where we straight up don't fuckin care?!?!?! As soon as I can I will make her stupid ass get kidnapped, hit by a acr, decide to try her hand at tight rope walking and leave for china and be captured and beaten into a sex slave whore for sum yung ding dong and have him snap and snap a hoe's neck. Now we ready to party for Halloween! I MEAN IT HOW LONG IS THIS DAMN PARTY GONNA BE AND JUST HOW MUCH CAN HAPPEN. WHAT IS IT GONNA TAKE, FEELS WAY TOO LONG BUT IT HAS ONLY BEEN WELL OVER A YEAR SINCE OUR MC WAS PLANNING A BIG SHITSHOW AND THEN A 3WAY FUCKFEST WITH SAGE AND QUINN! If we would have never had some stupid Zoey bullshit we would be playing ep 9 now I am sure! It's time just give it!

I mean ... you're not entirely wrong. I'd say Zoey's reception (at least on this thread) was mixed. Though just take it easy man. Jeez. You're at a 120% and I need you at a 50%.
Btw, just to make it clear. I don't dislike Zoey but I really don't give a fuck about her. So whether or not the Interlude was important, it didn't mean much to me in terms of either wasting development time or introducing an important character. Still, you're technically right. Objectively speaking, if the Interlude was made shorter and was just a flashback at the beginning of ep 9 then we'd probably have ep 9 by now or at least a few weeks away. Not referring to how important or unimportant it was to fit everything from the Interlude into a small flashback or something because again, I didn't really care about it too much.

 

[LMMFAO]

I honestly don't get all of the hate that the characters Zoey & Madame receive.

Meh, it's mostly if not entirely people being salty about the Interlude. It'll pass and she'll probably become more of a favorite for more people or at least more likeable.

 

[SteveyP]

I honestly don't get all of the hate that the characters Zoey & Madame receive.

Although I don't share these sentiments, I think the general consensus is that Madam feels shoed in in order to justify keeping the VIP pass. Thus taking up development time. That and a lot of people find her unattractive.

As for Zoey, some have argued that despite the Interludes attempts to make us care for Zoey; She still hasn't earned her place in the cast nor does she feel like she can catch up to the characterization that the Main LI's have developed over the last two seasons. Thus making the development time used to making the Interlude feel sorta unjustified and/or forced.

They don't like Zoey because Interlude delayed Episode 9.
Madame is just useless and ugly.

 

[UnoriginalUserName]

Madame is just useless and ugly.

I dislike Zoey because her part in the story is done. She's taking away attention and time from vastly superior girls. I mean shit, I think even Maya might be better than her, and that's saying something. The fact that she went and got tit tattoos just reinforces my already significant "what the fuck is she here for" feeling.

People do not care about Zoey because she was introuced WAY TOO late into the game. Personally when I see bblue hair now I think of life is strange and the worst character in video game history Chloe XD

Zoey was introduced rather early on in the game, some people just weren't paying attention. MC tells Bella all about her and their history together. You're right that a lot of people don't care about her, but she was part of the story well before the Interlude.

 

[dempun]

From what I've read, it appears a lot of the hate for Zoey rather involves the fact the dev took the time to create the Interlude in the first place. This in turn took away from the time he could have spent on the main story.

We will have the opportunity to find out in 5-8 weeks. I think the DPC will be able to integrate Zoey into the main story and some of the players will like it. In the script, she plays the role of a sharp plot twist in the middle of the game.

Bad association.
For me, the blue color is associated with a police telephone booth.

actually no one hates Zoey, talk of hate only serves to polarize positions.
also the interlude is not Zoey's responsibility, but DPC's in the case

but a large portion of the players really care little about her at this point in the game, then there is plenty of time to change their minds

Yes as a memory and first love nothing really else The Interlude makes her now one of the most important characters like it is played. It feels like a cliche Jdrama now when everything you think is going well suddendly the lost big love of the past shows up for one Episode. It is a filler for me personally.

Of course to release a filler product like the interlude, and probably delaying several months the real update, doesn't contribute to make Zoey a favorite character, but it's not only that.

The presentation that DPC has done of her is not the best for starting liking a character. She's a brat that leaves her mother in a bad moment for her (her mother has just died), and breaks MC's heart for no good reason. Wanting to live by the beach like if it were holydays all year is a naïve and frivolous reason to leave everything behind. And the things that happens to her during her time in San Diego are boring. The characters that she finds there are cliché and uninteresting, and the things that happens to her once she leaves the MC are boring. Even herself bores of that living at the end and returns home.

Also, her personality seems to be the blue hair and the tattoos. She want's "to be herself", "to be unique", "to be special" and what she does? To follow an stupid trend... She was a frivolous brat before the tattoos, and now is a frivolous brat with tattoos. And she left for around a year, and apparently she's waiting to find it all as she left it, including the MC... She's delusional too. Those are not attractive traits for a character and DPC should know that. If the player is older of 20, will find Zoey's personality superficial and childish. Probably realistic, most people of Zoey's age are superficial and childish (and way, way older nowadays), but it doesn't make her an attractive Li, if you are asking to a character something more that the possibility of seeing some renders of her sitting in the face of Josy, for a quick fap.

And she was kind of annoying before she left too.

since DPC had a plan for Zoey giving her more backstory was necessary, even in my opinion the plan is not perfectly successful but it was necessary. if he had done it in the ninth chapter little would have changed and we would still have waited practically the same amount of time (2-3 weeks less maybe)

about her acting like a brat, it's true, but all the characters in BADIK do that
MC wants to drop out of college because Troy is obnoxious
Josy is punished by her parents by taking away her cell phone
Jill consoles people by making funny faces
and I could give examples for everyone

they are all brats as such are treated, evidently DPC sees teenagers this way

"Ehh, close enough."

true, quinn and whoopi take pretty much the same spot on the hot scale

I mean shit, I think even Maya might be better than her, and that's saying something. The fact that she went and got tit tattoos just reinforces my already significant "what the fuck is she here for" feeling.

I disagree, she wouldn't get a whole semi-episode just like that if she's done. her part in the story is just starting and I'm pretty sure she'll stir some shit up.

AS I said it is a filler when everything goes well the EX is coming back to create some conflict. It is boring and cliche. Personally when I see her I will ignore her as much as he lets me. Also SHE endet the relaationship not the MC. Why should I care about a person that caused "me" so much pain?

edit: Also the MC would be an idiot to know being confused about some old Ex first love with what he has now.

well, how you play the story is your choice in the end, that's the whole point of having choices.
apart from the unavoidable stuff, of course, like playing tennis

and as far as cliches go, I'm completely fine with a quality done cliche as this one compared to millions of OH SORRY MC I DID NOT SEE YOU THERE IN YOUR ROOM WHICH I ENTERED WITHOUT KNOCKING WHILE YOU WERE UNDRESSING, NEED HELP WITH THAT ERECTION?

More branches also means less time with the girls you have now. The more characters who gets involved as love interests the longer this will take. We already have a lot of options. And yes there should be an Option for the MC to become a stupid idiot. But with another women or better his ex who ditched him?

Maybe we should stop adding new love interests and actually go with the story. Like whats with the whole ddrug business? The last reveal and so on . I mean didnt he say it also gets dark? Where is the dark part? Or did I just miss this because I am on a different path with Bella?

well, maybe. but we don't really get a say in this
if we did, I'd throw jill and quinn right out of the fucking airlock episodes ago.
but instead I had the honour of practicing yoga, playing tennis, having to see tybalt content, quinn being a bitch to everyone close to her, drug dealing, prostitution... did I miss something? dumb shit with those two is the dark part of this game for me.
I'd take zoey over those any day.
but yeah, well, that's just like my opinion man. right?
