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

[Crusader of Romance]

with Sage you have three paths:
- you accept to be her fuckbuddy and then you have to go through the "rebound guy" crisis
- you refuse to be her fuckbuddy and only accept her proposal after she breaks up with Chad (so no rebound guy whining)
- reject her both as fuckbuddy and after her breakup with Chad and wait for the next opportunity, which judging by her words will be there

OK, then I haven't missed anything. Thanks!

I'd say money, but I'm pretty sure the DPC would ban me for it

How would money make it easier to make the game and walkthrough by himself?

He has plenty of support already. And he is not willing to expand.
Why would I support him, lol

Nobody said "you have to," you're in a piracy forum ffs lmao. I get it tho, one or two episodes per year sucks.

I can understand that if your goal is just to unlock all scenes as quickly as possible then those limits would be frustrating, but if you want to actually play the game in a way that makes the MC a reasonably consistent character whose choices have consequences for the world around him as well as himself, those limits are surely a necessary part of the process.

The DIK/CHICK system is meant to be an approximation of mood and personality. It is far from perfect, of course, and can't ever hope to convey the complexities of a real person's attitude. But there is a logic to the idea that a character who makes certain choices would lean in a certain direction, personality-wise, and respond to situations accordingly, that such a character would be more or less attractive to other characters as a result, and that the choices he makes would open some doors and close others.

If you're reading the situations and the dialogue and thinking about the choices, then some of the limits mentioned above shouldn't be coming as a surprise, in my view, because they mostly make sense within the framework of the game and the personality you've shaped for the MC with choices. A CHICK MC is less likely to want to respond to a situation aggressively, a DIK MC is less likely to want to hug a friend. Of course, we know real people are more complicated than that, but as a rough sketch it's not so unrealistic. I also don't think the choice about whether to go with Jill or take care of Sage is such a far-fetched dilemma the way it's presented, and the consequences of that choice seem about right to me, knowing what we know about Jill's personality in particular.

Each to their own, and mods can certainly have value sometimes, but I get a lot of satisfaction out of knowing the game takes note of my choices and unfolds differently because of them.

That's my point: there is no consistency in the character right now. You can change from DIK to CHIK every episode, and there are 9 so far. This kind of game mechanic is not even implemented in AAA games like Mass Effect, for example. I think DPC has made it too complex. I would get rid of it.

Let's say the classic "compliment a girl" "don't risk it" option. Right now, if you are DIK, MC is going to say something rude that most girls won't like, and if you are CHIK something nice. Well, I would prefer if the options where "Say to her that she's hot" and "Say to her that she's nice" and then, see if what you said likes the girl and you get relation points with her or not. And the same with the other options. Then, if your choices with that girl are correct, you are in the good path, if not, you'll never get her. And of course, some mayor choices would have mayor consequences, something already implemented. If you fuck a girl, another one will know and won't be happy. If you fight Caleb, maybe you'll have a problem with him later, maybe Tommy will be jealous and will see you as a threat... Things like that.
Now, I have to think every decision: "What my DIK/CHIK MC is going to say or do if I choose this option and not that one"? And its exhausting for me. And I find there is way more consistency in a character that I create more freely with a modded game, more that following the rails of the paths that DPC decided with arbitrary decisions like the one of "Take care of Sage's flu" or "Go to a picnic with Jill" It's not about getting all the scenes in a gameplay for me, but get rid of DPC creative decisions that doesn't make any sense, IMHO.

Sorry for the delay, worked out what the problem was, I had last saved that run in ep 7. This should work though, imported into season 3 but no decision made for Zoey, as mentioned earlier, massive CHICK, Jill focused and no other girl fucked (except possibly Josy in ep 2, can't remember) but helped Sage so rejected at restaurant. Other variables: told Derek still interested in Josy, minigames disabled.

Thanks.I'll try as soon as I get home.

 

[Marley300]

Guys, is it possible to win Shots competition with Becky? If so how to do it?

Yeah easy, Transfer shot, pour fast and Focus.
But the real question is why would you pick Becky ? If you pick Tiffani, you get the best parts of the shots battle.

If I were to take a wild guess, I'd say it patches things.

So you think Vinny and Derek are related? I don't know if i can take seriously another family twist, but i can see it happening, hence why the camera in Derek's room (it was Vinny who put it there, or the blue eyed girl from the others route, or the preps)
I definitely like Tommy though, so i wouldn't help Vinny to take him down, Tommy also doesnt strike me as a villain, Vinny is the one doing fucked up shit, unless i found out Tommy is planning to start a new drug cartel with Quinn, he is harmless to me and i won't stop liking him.

Vinny is strange. On the one hand he behaves like an asshole and on the other hand somehow like a big brother who wants to teach his little brother something. The whole thing with the dog, that he should know his place, sounds like Vinny is reprimanding his little brother. I'm looking forward to EP10 and how things will go with Vinny.

The cameras will have always been in the DIK Mansion because I assume so the DIK Mansion was the campus clubhouse before. Rusty's father will have only intervened to make the clubhouse the DIK Mansion.

Tommy is actually a loser and through the MC Tommy becomes more and more aware of that.

There are so many options, I feel like I'd go crazy without a walkthrough.
It was exhausting, and the puzzles drove me crazy, but the game is so great.

You fucked up. Next time don't take care of Sage when she's sick (and go out with Jill), and make more CHICK choices.

I liked the part when Nicole gives Lily the middle finger while sucking mc's dick. It was funny. Also, I think the DPC wrote her dialogue in a way that it implied Nicole never went to college or she wasn't like those type of people.

Actually if you pick the right replies during the Swyper conversation, you will learn she wanted to go but couldnt cos she got pregnant at 18 with the son she now has & later went through a "brutal" divorce.

 

[HumperDoo]

anyone fine out who the hell this Oliver is at the end when you fine 3 chicks in the MC's bed?

 

[zoomzoomzoom]

Found them on reddit.

sorry for the bad resolution, if you cannot read it properly, you can PM me, i will find a workaround for better resolution.

Well this was because he was switching to a new game. It takes longer time. Usually, he releases twice per year.
And more people working on it will also mean a risk that the quality falls. If you ask people who play College Kings many will say the more that worked on it the more the quality dropped. So it's a question of quantity or quality. Personally, I would rather have the quality stay the same but wait a few months than have faster release but the quality dropping.

I disagree here.
If he let the boring and tedious rendering and basic stuff to others, He will in fact have more time over to work the details. So in my opinion.. Getting help enhance quality. Not the other way around. Similar to a film director that leaves like 90% of the total work to others.. Still gets all the cred for the finished Movie
