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

[JohnnyBlazePT]

Having a relationship is one of the crazy things people do in college, so it's perfectly fine to have such option. If you don't want to be with only one girl then simply pick "Others", that's exactly what it is for, fucking around while avoiding any commitment.

bro i dont think is a bad thing to commit with only one girl, what i was "criticizing" is that choice was to early and kinda rushed.
correct me if im wrong (cuz i already played this game a long time and i already forgot some of them) but the halloween party is being planned so it means these 8 episodes happen between like august and october. only 2 months passed since MC went to college and he is already choosing a waifu? thats why i think that important choice doesnt make sense

Yes, am just disagreeing with your view on this.

As it is, the game gives you option to go "steady" with a girl of choice for extended period of time and see if you can make it work, or break up. It wouldn't make much sense to give such option at the very end of the game because well, there isn't much of achievement in refraining from fucking someone else for episode or two.

For the players who aren't interested in such thing, they can pick "others" and keep fucking around as they've been doing up to this point.

it means these 8 episodes happen between like august and october. only 2 months passed since MC went to college and he is already choosing a waifu? thats why i think that important choice doesnt make sense

Continuing with this logic, the remaining 4-8 episodes can be expected to similarly last a few months tops. So that's hardly choosing a partner for life, and as such it's not as important as you make it to be. At the same time, i'd say 2 months is decent enough period to tell if you want to try getting slightly serious/exclusive with someone, or not.

To see if you can stick with it. Actually managing to maintain a relationship is a big part of it.

basically DPC needed to know who we were most interested in to see if there was any way to get us to be dumped by her....

really a kind thought!!!

the choice has a technical reason, to simplify the ramifications of the story a minimum, and a scenic one, to give importance to the closing of the second season

from a storytelling point of view it is ok, but it could have been done without: Bella anyway sooner or later would have had to ask MC to clear the air with Jill, Maya and Josy already at the beginning had indicated that at some point all together would have to decide whether to go ahead with this experiment or not (so the fact that MC decided unilaterally is quite insignificant), with Sage we could have also done without asking her for the umpteenth time to get serious, when all the previous times she had extricated herself.

In the end, only Jill wanted the choice.

True, but then am not sure if this would be a better approach, since it effectively takes decision out of the player's hands and instead forces them to react to NPC actions. And if there's one thing VN players seem to almost universally hate, it is NPCs daring to have opinions and act on their own.

So many people pretending they wouldn't tap that dead mom if only given an option.

But the decision is only partly, very little, in the hands of the player

Jill may already abandon the player who chose her, and in the next chapter it is very likely that something similar may happen with Bella and Sage. and it is also quite likely that the trouple itself will decide whether or not to move on. but it will continue to happen for other reasons again and again.

I think out of 100 games in at least 70 at that time there is only one name (besides possibly "others"). basically the only ones it should give freedom of choice to are those players in those runs where they didn't want to choose... good but not great

Sure the moment DPC gives us a DeLorean i would go back 20 years and knock her up, making the MC his own dad.
But as that won't happen ever...

What version of the game do we need to add the update to. Is it the interlude? I never updated to 8.2 and I can't remember how it was left for the new update being added

The interlude is not added to anything, it is separate, and will combine with Season 3 episodes. vers 8.2 is seasons 1&2. There is no reason to worry about updating anything at present.

The only right one.

The others don't even make the list.

y can't believe you put crab Rangoon on the menu.

I sure as hell wouldn't. Whether I have an incest kink or not, I do not find her that appealing. I wouldn't stop Derek from banging her, but I am not interested.

Jill's mom, however, is due to experience an orgasm-induced coma.

i still can't believe we got blue balled so long just for Jill to give it up so easily.

Also, its not clear if the mc is cutting romantic ties with the girls he doesn't choose because he doesn't want to lead them on anymore, or if he doesn't want to be cheating on his chosen LI. Given all the soul searching he's been doing of late, it seems like the latter to me. In which case, just how will DPC get around this to keep the sex going, or will the mc be monogamous going forward.

I agree with you.

As for how DPC will handle this, I think he can rely on the fact that players usually have one run per LI (this will be even more true now that the choice is made in EP8). So there will be less sex on a run, but most players will play 4 or 5 runs per episode.

He can also decide to delay a bit the MC's decision to become exclusive with the LI of his choice (for example with Sage).

If DPC undoes “choosing” a girl by forcing a dilemma between whomever you chose and Zoey I will probably just stop playing for a bit. No I’m not being dramatic and saying I’ll give up on it entirely but I’ll probably wait and see how it pans out before I decide to play it.

It will not happen. It won't be forced. With Zoey, we will have a clear choice, either an internal questioning from the MC, or directly Zoey who offers to pick up where they left off, and the MC who will answer Yes/No/Maybe.

i also dont understand why we needed to make that decision so early in the game
i mean, this game is supposed to have 12 episodes. if we make this important decision on ep8 it basically means that the game will cock block us for 4 episodes...

I find it quite logical considering the story told from the beginning and the state of mind of the MC.

Yes, he thinks with his dick quite often, but when it comes to the 5 LIs, it's different. The MC's goal with LIs isn't just to fuck.

(one might even think that it was a little late in some cases)

As for the cockblock, it is already effective. I don't know how many different runs it takes to see everything, but I would say 3 or 4. And that doesn't take into account the traps left by DPC, for example if on my Sage run my MC fucked Jade, I know that is going to be problematic.

Nah, I firmly believe the game will have a happy ending (with a handful of caveats). I just fear we're doomed to slog through a groundhog day-like third season before we can get there. Assuming we all live long enough, obviously.



Fair enough. I just appreciate the way Dany will back off if you do actually apologize to her. She's still fairly low on my list.

Oh, I was just joking. I didn't actually mean that.

Yea that's why I'm at least hoping I can get what I want out of ep 9 then we can proceed with that tired dance routine in ep 10 and on. Mostly just because the wait for ep 9 has felt like a real slog. Future episodes' development times probably won't be better but whatever. I at least just want this.

At first it seemed to me that in your picture are BaDIK girls on the Political Compass.
