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

[felicemastronzo]

I get it, nothing is official YET, but E9 "walk of shame" for me, is Sage's way of saying she is being on board.

if it wasn't for the still open relationship with Chad she might have done it even earlier (and it's not like she got very far)

the walk of shame is not meant to be official, especially if it is only sex that is being talked about.
those same words wouldn't have been particularly out of tune in the mouth of a sidegirl (Lily for example)

 

[KekWGgWP]

I don't think that is really it. I think she is happy to be able to open up more to someone. It's just difficult for her and some topics (like her biological mother) are still a bridge too far for now.

And that is a good thing, because outside of a potential fallout of the affair with Jade (which the MC might not even had depending on the playthrough) there really doesn't seem too many obstacles and issues on the horizon for the Sage path compared to the M&J or Bella path.

She has the most unique path out of all or nearly all current LI currently in my opinion, she isn't embarrassed like Quinn, awkward like Jill or confused/guilty like Isabela. (i still didn't played Josy-Maya path so i don't know how the relationship with them is)

She is kinky and flirty, she doesn't shy away when she spends time with MC, even though she looks like she doesn't take things seriously, she can become serious when she wants but she still tries to get used with being in a serious relationship since she didn't had any of that when she was with Chad.

The truth is that she really doesn't have much experience when comes to relationships at all, maybe she also got trust issues from last time and doesn't feel entirely confident with being in a serious relation.

I'm very curious how things will progress with her in the future.

Ep9 was a halloween party, so it makes sense she was horny/slutty. But I also can't fault people who wanted sweet Sage after how things ended in ep8.

Every character gets wasted but MC (he has to work and take care of everything). Honestly, what did they expect?

Most of you get butthurt because someone is making a comment about the game. About things they like in the game or dislike. The same goes about characters, but people are free to express themselves. You have to learn how to deal with a different opinion about the game and not take it personally, because none of them is trying to hurt you or your feelings.

The problem is that a lot of people don't pay attention at what's happening in the story. It seems to me that they just don't read the dialogues, either.

And that is a good thing, because outside of a potential fallout of the affair with Jade (which the MC might not even had depending on the playthrough) there really doesn't seem too many obstacles and issues on the horizon for the Sage path compared to the M&J or Bella path.

Big huge issue on the horizon: what will happen when people discover the big elephant in the room aka the "restaurant" business. Remember: Sage is HOTs' president and her dad is their "customer".

 

[TimHawk]

The question is: what relationship? MC offered it, but did Sage really accept it? It doesn't seem so to me.

he declares he only wants her, that for her he's ready to give up the others. she doesn't accept but doesn't exclude and in the meantime even in the intimacy they are more fuckable than before

they are living a compromise, Sage has the fuckbuddy he wanted and Mc has the hope that something will change

Are you telling us that the MC telling first Quinn and then Rhiona that he IS in a relationship while on the Sage path leaves any ambiguity or uncertainty ?





So MC+Jill are Boyfriend and Girlfriend.

MC + Maya and Josy become exclusive.

MC + Bella are in a relationship.

But Sage is a ... fuckbuddy ???

Are you having one-sided Zoey flashbacks or what prompts that doubt ? Im really curious, because to me it couldn't be any more clear that all 4 relationship paths led to...well exactly that...a relationship. The "I love you" words haven't been uttered in any path yet, so that can't be it.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Forgive me for my English but it is not my language. It has happened to me in part that is Sage.
Quoting MC "She's is also so different from me...I'm not sure if it's good or bad at times. ".
I think that she is a character with very good things, she cares about others, she is affectionate in her own way.
For many people this is good and for others it is not. In my case I don't enjoy how she likes sex, calling her a slut and how sex seems to be in the direction of BDSM. In general I do not like to degrade others.
I'm not complaining about threesomes or trying things, in fact my favorite paths are J/M, Lilly and Quinn.
For example, I really enjoy Quinn, they say bitch and things to each other, but they have another tone, more like challenging each other.

I'm totally ok in dirty and rough things so it's not a big deal me. Quinn route is my second in a top list, it's incredibly well written and the sizzling chemistry between them is mesmerizing. Quinn struggles with herself and her feelings, eventually losing, admitting that she likes Tremolo. This is probably the first person other than her father, whom she lets close to her. While at arm's length.

 

[Adaewyr]

Hello, my version 0.9.1 closes itself during the dialogue with Tommy and Jacob at the beginning....
Have you ever encountered the problem, any idea where it could come from?
Thanks

 

[ffive]

I'm left with only Maya and Camila of the girls that I didn't nominate. I myself wonder how Maya will react, because she began to change for the better.

Maya is the best person to nominate because i want to see the face of her dad when she brings that trophy home (or when he sees it in her dorm room on another of his unannounced visits)

I really liked this shot. On a DIK route, I really enjoy Quinn/MC. In a way, she met her match. Someone who's not scared of her, someone who pushes all her buttons. She actually starts caring for him. For Quinn to meet an equal of sorts is probably a huge turn on, since DIK MC is shameless, aggressive and down for anything. The fact she asks him to join her Downtown is a huge thing for her.

 

[TheBigWater]

Is it still possible to start something with Riona if i failed to get sex scene with hr in Ep5?

Maya was really good in this episode. She develops, she stays strong, she doesn't make a tearful drama and become more open.
And here I agree, I look forward to the moment when her father will be humiliated, finds out that his daughter joined HOT's continues to meet with Josie and at the same time jumps on a huge MC'S dick, his bank account with a loan will be frozen and transferred to Maya.
Patrick, what wrong with your face now? Everything is the will of God, in which you so believe.

from MC no doubt, he in fact renounces the other girls

but Sage hasn't done yet this step, which doesn't mean she doesn't care about him, but she did that in the first season too

she probably will, but not yet.

there's nothing wrong with that, it's a bit like M+J who have in fact been together since the end of the first season but only now are for real.

or to take another example, when MC declares himself to Jill he's talking about boyfriend and girlfriend, when he talks about it with Sage the point is to try, not to have arrived

I wonder actually, if the scene on the start screen that's apparently in Maya's house, means we'll have MC pay a visit there as "official Maya's boyfriend", in attempt to convince Patrick that Maya has straightened out her ways, so there's no reason for him to hold her hostage anymore.

That could also serve as another starting point for potential throuple break up, this time with Josy feeling insecure and left out over it.

 

[Crepusculum]

I would love a Bella, Jill and mc threesome. As well as a maya, josey And mc one

What do you mean by josy maya and MC? We got that a few times now. I think we'll be getting one with sage on top of the Throuple.

if it wasn't for the still open relationship with Chad she might have done it even earlier (and it's not like she got very far)

the walk of shame is not meant to be official, especially if it is only sex that is being talked about.

Hmmmm yeah ok i see what you're saying. It's not as much her agreeing, at least not conclusively, i need to replay that scene.

I just got the vibe she is on board, didn't you? Do you see her having sex with someone else atm and thinking it's ok?

As far as I know, that's Bella's place.

she did not have sex with anyone (apart from MC) even when she was engaged to Chad... maybe in another game

but then why should she? he's her fuckbuddy, she doesn't need to look for another one

 

[vogelbeest]

Summer's Gone is my actual favorite. The production values, renders, music and so on are quite high. In some aspects it matches BaDIK, in some exceeds it. The thing is, Ocean wants to build his world("Summer's Gone" and "Where it all began" being in a shared universe), and he is focusing on the world building and characters, and 4.5 episodes in, there is still no sex. He wants to build towards it and have it mean something. It's a ballsy approach, but I respect him for it.

SG and BaDIK are different kind of beasts, and I enjoy both games all the same.

Yeah, i like Ocean's work, slowburn never is a problem for me if the story is compelling. BaDik offers alot fast there, but the story itself is good enough to carry the game and how DPC arranged the several paths it's actually good to do different playthrough's without getting bored.

Many VN's suffer from too many LI's to pursue and the interesting ones often get no progress just to keep everybody on board... And more often then not, once we made progress with a girl it's done and over...
I prefer good character building for a limited number of girls over fast action with an endless amount of them any day....

BaDik still manages to keep relations evolving and personally i think how DPC handled bringing Zoey into the story so far is pretty smart, from a flashback to a sidestory to a possible future contender to your current partner....
I understand some arguments the story itself was put on hold... But that's just frustration for the waiting time, but once the end product is there, the interlude is just another part and it's the total of all episodes that make the game...

 

[ffive]

As far as I know, that's Bella's place.

You mean this one?



It looks like a stock suburb house to me, so i don't think Bella would be the only person living in such place. There's probably hundreds of these in the city.

I see your point, but I don't think you should see that as Sage not being commited or not haveing agreed.

Everything else is exactly the same as every other path. Phase 1 : Talk + Flashback. Phase 2 : Special ( trolling Tybalt ) + Dance + Haunted Basement. Phase 3 : Never any doubt who they end in bed with and where.

I really think Sage agreeing to a relationship is all but implied and certain at this point, yea its low on romance, other than maybe her putting her head on the MC's shoulder when she remembers that she forgot the trophy, but I don't see any reason to doubt that they are exactly where every other couple/trouple is at this point.

I agree with 100% of what you said. In someone else's hands BaDIK would feel clunky and bloated, but he manages to pull it off. And despite giving us sex early on(frat life), I personally play for the story, mystery and character growth.
That's why I said that SG and BaDIK are different beasts, but I respect them all the same.

You mean this one?

Oh that one, who knows.

I thought you were talking about the Christmas House, my bad.

 

[raider_manhc]

she's also only human - finally being in a satisfying relationship after only DPK knows for how long, it's understandable she lets her guard down. Also Nick is sus af - in my opinion it's no coincidence he was there!

I agree, nick is sus, i been thinking that since The episode where The alphas trash The house, his room is untouched. Why?
