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

[ffive]

we had 8 episode to play the field, it was more than enough. I'm not an idiot, I understand what you try to say, but I prefer to move forward, rather then in circle .
others branch exist for a reason. that is for those who after 8 episode didn't wanted commit to a main love interest. Why would I want break up and start over with a different love interest?

One might want to break up and start over with a new (well technically old) love interest who wasn't available until now. Not every player will metagame and follow some walkthrough and/or predict Zoey shows up as an option down the road. They will instead pick what they think is the best option given what they're presented with, but then the "offer" changes.

Furthermore, i don't consider this as "moving in circle". It's a pretty normal story arc -- after playing around in the first half of the game the MC has just started a relationship, and he is now going to find out if the girl(s) he's picked are actually someone he wants to stay in relationship with. People learn all sort of stuff about each other over time, and conflicts are bound to arise. At the end of it you get a culmination in the shape of choice whether to stick with original decision, or consider it a mistake, and move on. Said moving on might include forming a new relationship. That's a conclusion as valid as the alternative of "and they lived happily ever after".

edit: and there's also possibility it's not the player who will decide to break up, but their chosen LI due to MC's behavior. They don't necessarily have to wait with this until the very end of the game.

I may be wrong here but I don't think you can fuck Nora if you are on Jill's path.

Yes you are

 

[AchedCroissant]

Just how long exactly you guys want DPC to develop this game ?, or more properly dragging out this game?

If we get to the point of only play one episode per year and I think there are 7 left, what's the difference?

 

[KАRАMBA]

Because breaking up with someone and choosing a different li is part of the dating life. People does that all the times irl, and honestly I am tired of games where the game end after MC end up with their chosen li as if life is a fairytale.

A very good idea. It would be much more exciting if game developers gave more detailed endings. And even better, not endings, but a kind of continuation, so that the player could better feel the consequences of his choice in the game. I do imagine something like this, to see how the Fuckface lives and grows old with Quinn. Their life is filled with everyday troubles and conflicts. Sex is becoming less frequent, and over time, sex scenes already resemble the trailer of a cheap horror movie. As a result - swearing, fights, wrinkled old asses and tits in sex scenes. But damn it, there's definitely a charm to it. So yes, we need at least 40-50 episodes of this game.

How else can I explain it.

Branch Jill: BaDIK start - STD TEST - BaDIK end (No STD).
Branch Sage: BaDIK Start - No STD TEST - BaDIK End (STD possible)
Branch Others: BaDIK start - No STD TEST - BaDIK end (STD possible)
Branch Bella: BaDIK start - No STD TEST - BaDIK end (STD possible)
Branch MJ: BaDIK start - No STD TEST - BaDIK end (STD possible)

You could not make the single Branchs a Branch in terms of the STD. The Jill Branch is the only Branch that excludes STD by the STD test.

Ok, so you ARE serious...

It is very simple. Imagine this scenario. You have one playthrough (or several, as many as you need, it doesn't matter) where you fucked every single girl (except Nora) and you save before the choice of episode 8 and then choose Jill, go on for episode 9 and do the test, then load back episode 8 and choose not Jill. If you didn't have an STD on the first route you cannot have one on the second one, even though you didn't take the test on this one. The MC can't have an STD and not have it at the same time.

It is this simple.

I'm not sure if the MC will be presented with options to cheat on Jill, because STD tests or not, if that becomes a viable option in upcoming updates, STD's might still be very possible for Jill's path.

Yeah, totally.... Save Transmitted Deceases are no joke! Educate the masses!

 

[ChipLecsap]

Yes you are

then it's really not make sense why MC would refuse the superior Nicole

 

[AchedCroissant]

then it's really not make sense why MC would refuse the superior Nicole

Because MC in Jill's branch be like

 

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

And here's your thought error.

The STD test excludes STD on the Jill Path.

But if you then select another branch by loading EP8 back, the test no longer takes place and thus you can be completely different by selecting another branch because the test did not take place. You have deleted the STD test.

What if the STD test is the linchpin that determines whether the MC has STD or not?

Just because you as a player know so the MC doesn't have STD on the Jill Branch doesn't mean so he doesn't have it on another Branch. If this STD test had been done on all branches, then you can rule out that the MC has STD.

You are trolling me, right? You must be...

 

[Jumbi]

I don't think so Vinny will show up again.

So, the guy was just introduced as a new antagonist and you actually think that we won't get to see any more of him? Between this and your magical STD tests that open up whole separate universes, it is not beyond the realm of reason to think that you may be trolling.

 

[NewTricks]

No, I'm trolling you, but I give up. You don't want to understand.

Not understanding Dalli_x posts is the unofficial national pastime of the BADIK thread.

 

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

No, I'm trolling you, but I give up. You don't want to understand.

Ok, I'll give it a last try.

You are in episode eight. You either have an STD or you don't at that moment. You go for Jill's path and you know you don't have an STD. That means that MC on episode eight is also clean. This is not debatable, this is a consecuence of the STD test. The MC at that point in episode eight is 100% clean. Beyond doubt. 100% proven. So if you load back and choose another path, you 100% know that this MC is clean. Without doubt.

Post nut clarity maybe?

I agree with what you're suggesting, but that wouldn't necessarily mean that the other LI aren't carrying any STD's though. Unless you chose the path of celibacy.

Sry, I'm bored.

you can, but that would require adding science fiction elements to the story or DPC being japanese

It does mean that. You can have sex with everyone except Nora in a Jill playthrough, so that means everyone is clean. Or at least they didn't pass anything to the MC up until that point.

Well, most tests aren't conclusive until six months after having relations, so he can still have somthing, but this applies to all paths. This is a stretch, though.

I haven't been paying much attention to these threads lately, But thx for telling me that Nora is a Jill cock-block. Good to know, thx lol


*EDIT*
I just aired out my brain-fart, I just realized why You can't do both Nora and Jill. I just remembered that bar scene if you're on Jill's path.. my bad.. Aparently I'm not only bored, but in a state brainlessness lol

 

[vogelbeest]

You don't want to understand.

Either way an STD test only confirms the condition at that time.... You can get infected after that.... It's not like you're immune after taking a test that comes out negative... And sorry to say so... But not all STD's actually need sex to be transmitted...
Some can even walk around freely and are named "Dawe"....

You forgot to add Dereck in that reference.. lol
