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

[Crusader of Romance]

I know this isn't a popular opinion but I'm having a blast with Episode 9! It's a really fun episode! I like how he solved the one-month time-jump by having some flashbacks. I get that some are disappointed that there wasn't much story progression but sometimes it fun with something like this. I wouldn't want every episode to be like this but the fact that most aren't makes this party episode so much more fun! I really hope he makes a Christmas party like this too but also hope for some cosy celebration with your LI too.

I ended up with some weird glitch that infinity loops where Isabella ends up coming to the party and putting a demon mask on then talking to Sage and others as a mummy (which she has been for the rest of the party). Any help fixing this?

I heard a mod causes problems like that in this episode. Do you use mods?

Not really. Up to this point, of the two, only Bella gives blow-jobs.

Jill got fuck there with funny face. seem like she really enjoy it

In real life, girls do start dating guys that acted like immature assholes in front of them. Also, guys have ended up dating girls that were bitches to them. It just the nature of humans to do things that don't seem logical.

This is not real life. In real life, there is a lot of chaos. But this is a story, and must be coherent. There are rules in story telling. Bella is not cougar like Jade or Cathy, just looking for a young stud for a fuck. MC should be more attractive for la woman like her (more mature) to win her heart. Running naked, being drunk and kissing her in a wimp is not the things that could do that a woman like Bella falls for MC.

And MC is not a doormat either. He was bullied when child, and doesn't allow it any more. And what Sage does to him the first episodes, is bullying him to get from him what she wants: that he spies Chad for her. Another stupid thing. Sage following Chad with binoculars is a stupid situation, talking about real life. And pressuring a guy that barely knows to find out who is Chad's bitch is another one. How is supposed that MC should find out that? Should he follow Chad with a wig and a fake moustache, or what?

Also, it makes little sense that for the first chapters Sage is just a superficial and selfish bitch that doesn't care at all about MC, except for manipulating and using him, and suddenly she becomes in a decent person that wants to help Maya (a girl that she barely knows) and other people. Also, it's absurd that a girl like her, "with an attitude", is the girlfriend of an impotent gay man for two years, even if the guy is the popular one of the campus, and allows him to treat her like a doormat for all that time. That is not explained in the story, at all. The presentation of this character is really bad, even if she's my favorite one in the game. Quinn's presentation, or Jill's, are way better. Even Maya's and Josy's. Their characters make more sense those first episodes.

There are a lot of scenes and situations, over all the first episodes, that doesn't make any sense. Sometimes, DPC is really lazy as a writer.

I honestly don't know what you guys expected to happen to Sage's character in this episode. I get that a lot of people (me included) wanted some cute scenes like the ones in season 2, but this was not the episode for that. One small flashback and a big party, that's all we got for the MGs.

There simply wasn't enough room for character or relationship development. Josy and Maya was the only route that felt like something actually progressed, but that's because they had the "advantage" of having the MC's declaration scene postponed to this episode. If that wasn't the case, I'm sure a lot of people would be complaining about lack of development for them too.

But back to the subject, Sage has always been a girl who likes to party hard, get drunk and all that. So it should come as no surprise that she would behave accordingly. On top of all that, now she's finally in a healthy relationship with a guy who she can finally be herself and explore all her sexual desires that were repressed for the last 2 years. And what better place to let loose than a big ass party? That fits her character perfectly and shouldn't be considered as regression.
Sage is no Jill, so you will never see her talking about family in the middle of a fucking Halloween party.
I mean, this scene says it all:

For the comments I've seen here since release, it seems that some people expected Sage to be all cutesy with MC during the party, and that's simply absurd to me. Not only would that feel forced, it would also make no fucking sense for her character. They didn't even go on a date yet, so a sudden change in behaviour just because MC declared his intentions with her in the last episode would just feel like some big steps were skipped. And even still, she still had some cute moments in the party here and there, they just weren't as abundant as it was for Jill for example because, like I said, it's not Sage's style to do that in a party. In her few moments of sobriety (Burkes visit and the flashback) she was still the same old Sage from season 2 - caring and sweet.

I understand the people that felt disappointed with her path in this update because of the overall sexual tone. But to say that her character regressed and/or is ruined because of ONE episode is just overreaction. If this continues in normal episodes however (I don't think it will), then I will be disappointed.

I think some people (including me) was expecting the damn first date that DPC has been postponing for so long. That could have balanced the tone of the character in this update. We could have seen "Romantic Sage" in the date, and "Party Sage" in the party. We have mostly seen "Party Sage" this episode (although there are a couple of cute moments) and it's bit of a disappointment because people was expecting a bit more of relationship development in this chapter. It's more a problem of this chapter being only a party and not having a lot of character's development or plot development.

But Sage behaves in this party like she did in the HOTs' party, it's not a character's recession. In the HOTs party, she fucks MC in the garden! She's even more sluttish there, so it's not a surprise. For some reason, she has been dating with a impotent gay for at least two years. Of course she's oversexed and wants to make up for the time lost with MC and in parties, specially the last Halloween party for her.

But, I suppose that we'll see "Romantic Sage" the next update. If DPC makes that in that date Sage behaves like a nympho slut too, only caring about sex, that indeed would be a character recession and would ruin her for sure.

I heard a mod causes problems like that in this episode. Do you use mods?

I guess i did in one of the earlier versions, honestly dont remember. Any clue how to fix it? Maybe with a different mod or editing the save?

 

[Lovetities]

Josy is definitely a good person.

With Vinny, I'm somehow not sure and don't know what to make of him. He's definitely a criminal and has rough edges. But the fact that Rusty and Nick continue to meet with Vinny implies that Vinny can or will have another side.

The question I have is actually whether Vinny might be an ex of a LI? After all, the MC's ex also appeared in EP9. It doesn't have to be the LI that the MC has chosen for himself. But one should not forget, so that all characters have a back story.

Vinny is Nick boyfriend and Jamie ex. Nonetheless, I think Vinny might be Quinn ex boyfriend

It happens when you mod to get both Jill and Bella routes, and the only way to fix it is if you still have EP.8 with the save. You will have to manually switch off having the last sex scene and route for either character. If you want to play both route, you will have to play two different saves.

I don't think Quinn has ever had a "boyfriend"; she's had fuck buddies/customers though.

I wouldn't be suprised if Vinny raped her when she didn't know better. Let's say we keep it legal, he probably started grooming her, and then used her, and then left when he had had his fun. That's why he teases her at the party. She's grown up now, and no longer has him in her life. But, he can still tease, because they have that sordid history together.

I'm probably going to get abducted by Jill fans for making this...

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

That comic sans font killed me bro, well done.

I'm wondering what original font does DPC use in the game? I didn't find a perfect match, there is no information in the public domain either.

So, what ending did you guys choose for your "Others" playthrough? I went to bed with the three girls because I want to see the other DIKs reaction when 3 girls do the walk of shame from the MC's room.

All of them xD While I do have my main route, I play all the routes.

The go to bed option seems like the most "DIK Legend" one, but I personally liked Sarah/Mel one the most, pure fun with them.
At this point in the game I am not that invested in Lily/Nicole, will probably like them more once more content/paths are dedicated to them.

Quinn one is also legit if you enjoy her route, the horns have good use, haha.
But I still would pick Sarah/Mel as favorite from Others route due to the fact that with their "path" I don't have to worry about MC catching a bullet.

But in all honesty, best part about others path for me is the possibility of Zoey in the future again.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

I play all routes too, but that was the one I ended with for my main Others route. But I might change it later if I'm disappointed with the result in the next episode. And sometimes the game punishes you by locking you out of later scenes.
