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

[TheBigWater]

Off the top of my head you'd want the following saves for maximum content:

Current main routes:

DIK Others - manwhore route
DIK Sage - without fucking Jade
DIK Sage - after fucking Jade
CHICK Throuple
Neutral/DIK Throuple
CHICK Jill
CHICK Bella - without pursuing Jill
CHICK Bella - with perusing Jill

Current minor routes:

DIK Others - with DIK Zoey
DIK Others - with CHICK Zoey
CHICK Others - with DIK Zoey
CHICK Others - with CHICK Zoey
(Zoey's affinity reaction with Fuckface's affinity is currently unknown so the mix required for a Zoey branch is unknown)
DIK Others - Quinn focused in ep 9
DIK Others - Nicole/Lily focused in ep 9
DIK Others - Sarah/Mel ending in ep 9
DIK Others - bed with vixens ending in ep 9

Potential routes you'd want to be ready for:

Any Affinity (I went DIK) Others - telling Derek still interested in Josy, telling Josy in ep 9 that you think about her all the time, in case of M/J break up and solo Josy route available
CHICK Others - telling Derek still interested in Maya, in case M/J break up and Maya solo route is available.
Neutral Jill - in case not being CHICK affinity produces different content in the future
Neutral/DIK Bella with and without pursuing Jill - again in case of different content than CHICK affinity
Any Affinity (again mine is DIK) - Rio focused


And that's just off the top of my head without looking at the saves I've got, I'm sure other people can mention other routes that you'd want to have too.

Is it possile to be in Maya+Josy route in DICK path? How?

I don't know, but you can have your DICK in Josy and Maya while being on their route, I can tell you that much.

Who's saying she will have to wait? Jill didn't even have a chance to contact her lawyer in Episode 9, since she found out about it at the party. It might be one of the first things that happens in Episode 10, just a few days after the Halloween party.
In real time, it can take weeks to hear from a lawyer, btw.

I almost agree with you.

Jill did learn some details about Maya from Josy before the party. But the conversation at the party suggests that Jill has not yet contacted the family lawyer. But it is also indicated that this could be quick, because this Royce family lawyer is always available to Jill and a lawyer does not want to lose such clients as the Royce family.

Jill calls and the lawyer jumps.

I can imagine that's how it's going to go down. But the lawyer will not get any more information from Jill on the phone, whereupon the lawyer will inform Jill's parents, which then leads to the meetings at the Royce's. So DPC can make the connection between Lynette and the Royce.

I assume this connection through Jill and/or Maya will accelerate the answers the MC is seeking about his mother. I am starting to think so Maya ordeal with Patrick is nearing an end. But I also think that if the MC is on the Jill or JM Branch so that there will be a dramatic development for one or the other "Other Girl".

"Others: This option is only available if you aren’t in Josy’s and Maya’s relationship and don’t have a successful relationship with Jill."

 

[El hombre sensitivo]

by far my fav game keep up the excellent work

 

[TangerineTango]

Out of curiosity, what courses in college are the characters taking?

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Sally's attitude has already been discussed here, the problem is most likely because she takes xanax, which has irritability as a side effect, and we know that she doesn't treat the MC in any special way, the way she treats him, is the same as she treats everyone.

Basically every scene of hers she is angry, including the scenes that don't contain the MC, and we know that her relationship is in a bad moment, probably because she is unbearable.

She must have realized that too, everything indicates that she should start to soften, give the MC more chances (and maybe others too, but we probably won't see renders about others).

I like Sally simply because she is a rarity in this game, she plays hard to get, which makes me want to own her even more, but I imagine that after I get her I will lose interest.

I remember. These pills can be very dangerous if used incorrectly without consulting a doctor. It's still drugs. As far as I know, side effects can be worse than irritability.
Plus the relationship with Magnar, which we see at the end of second season.
But it is unlikely that I will have an interest in her, and this is not only her attitude, it is also her looks. If there will be a scene with Sally, I will open it for stats on one of the routes, but that's all.

Out of curiosity, what courses in college are the characters taking?

What we know for now:
Jill learning economy, same for Sage but with a deepening in management,
Josy is also enrolling in an economics course.
Maya is going to become a social worker and help families, so her field of study is sociology and psychology. MC is going to do science, nothing is known about Quinn and other SGs. From what I remember.

Is it possile to be in Maya+Josy route in DICK path? How?

To be able to achieve permanent DIK or CHICK affinity you cannot do more than 4 opposite affinity decisions (4 major CHICK choices for permanent DIK affinity and vice versa). M&J route checks your affinity (it needs to be NEUTRAL or CHICK) too early, you can be NEUTRAL at the time while have 3 or 4 major CHICK choices. All you need to do after that is to choose DIK replies for the rest of major choices.

 

[Joshy92]

The fact that Maya wants to be a social worker & help people
just further proves how sweet & awesome she is.

Team Maya for the win & let's not forget Josy of course.

Why Zoey is in CHICK? She looks like a girl for DICK guy

Huh...modding? I have ONE save and am on ALL paths (that I want to be on) and watch ALL scenes (that I want to see).

 

[hakuna-matata]

I'll lol super hard if the Royce's lawyer ends up being Priscilla.

 

[Oliver Wendell Homely]

Huh...modding? I have ONE save and am on ALL paths (that I want to be on) and watch ALL scenes (that I want to see).

I get the appeal of mods, particularly as a way to streamline playthroughs. Having said that, for me (and many other players) a big part of the fun of multiple, distinct playthroughs is how the MCs status, affinity, and choices impact what happens, other characters' reactions, etc. Mods really mess up all those story elements, which are half the fun of the VN.

You must have neutral or CHICK affinity in order to get on the M+J path in episode 4. Once you do that, however, at least as of now, it appears you can be any status or affinity. So if you wanted to make a hard turn into DIKville after episode 4, that shouldn't be a problem, though there are one or two small reactions and lewd scene choices that require CHICK affinity.

The only constraint is not to be DIK in the fourth chapter, after that you can be whatever you want.

Zoey can be chick or DIK depending on the choices, only one actually, in the interlude. We don't know yet with what outcome

 

[Kpyna]

but what reason does the craftsman have for saying that it could take less? and who is the judge of how much improvement each extra day of work brings? he himself, so it is a sentence that has no real value, nobody knows the minimum time required, even more so in a situation of absolute freedom as in this case.

if DPC by chance released the chapter in July would this automatically mean that it was rushed and that any flaws in the chapter are all due to this haste? i don't think so, and in the same way if it came out next year it's not like it automatically becomes the best chapter ever, like 9 which wasn't.

I only know that this dude is crazy in a good manner. Who is more productive (AVN genre), when we talk about 1-man projects? Even some mini-"studios" do less than DPC alone. Isn't it a good estimate?

So, in short, game size, all branching stuff, etc encreases from episode to episode and I don't see any way it would decrease - at best it could stay the same for a while, but not decrease. Probably it will increase in constant. Due to this we just can't expect release times may decrease, the best hope is so they will stay at some level. He got rendering power upgrade, he doing some things faster due to expirience he gained during years of development and we can't blame him in lazyness or low productivity, because numbers of renders, animations and their quality as well as overall quality of product tell us an opposite. So, rigs power, experience and so on compensates potential 9+ months release times, while renders, animations numbers with their quality as a bonus, and coding tasks growing unproportioanally.

I never said he could do it out of malice, to cheat his patreons, but that he has no reason not to do it

and when you talk about burnout: doing something you like is the best way to avoid it, so doing a scene that you feel like doing, however much it may be more or less useful, more or less loved, is the solution, not the problem.

I'll try to explain. When you made a lot of money already, you have stable income currently and you clearly know that to release the final version of product you need a few years still, it's quite useless to prolong it by any means. He wouldn't try to shorten it to not compromise the product quality and to be able to realize all ideas which he had planned. But, making some potential scene or animation if he likes it and think it help product become better is reasonable, but I doubt he do it for some money. I believe his case is a combination of fanaticism in a good sense and return in the form of money received thanks to good work and good quality of the product. Regarding burnout I meant years added for potential "extra" development time if he add here and there something constantly. It's the reason when even nor money nor work you do would motivate you. Everything and everybody has a limit and a reasonable framework.

Sally just pisses me off. Even on the Chick/Neutral route, she is rude to MC for no reason. I didn't do anything wrong to her, why? Although maybe she just lacks good dicking, but I will probably go around a girl who looks 15 years old.

Such different, sometimes literally polar characters personalities is what makes this game so unique, not boring and "flat" as most of the others are. It's ok, some love Quinn, some hate her, etc
But seriously, what we know about her? She's on a "sedative" or "antidepressants" (apparently the prescription ones, because otherwise it's easier to go to a pharmacy than to contact a drug dealer). We don't know the reasons. KRJ is too, btw. So this may be one of the reasons. She is rude and impulsive to everyone, even to Magnar. And at the end we learned that something is going bad between them.
In EP9, I had a feeling that if the MC is polite to her, then she feels some guilt for her previous behavior and attitude. DIK MC makes fun of her and she likes it too, even though she pretends to be angry.

Off the top of my head you'd want the following saves for maximum content:

Spoiler

I would add here:

- Bella and Jill routes with banging teachers (Cathy is excluded for Bella, but her path is still have variable for Jill branch). Banging Jade & releasing the video as well as hook up with Nora are a potential bombs planting for both branches.
- Sage + Quinn drama. One is when you use the restaurant and banging Quinn, then going for Sage. Quinn is literally pissed off, while she tries to hide it. And the opposite - go for Quinn over Sage. We don't know does it mean something to become a Sage's fuck buddy first vs not ever going for her and remain her friends from the beginning in this case, but I suppose it should mean something more when you was her fuck buddy.
- Bella + Quinn. Same as above, but knowing that Quinn is pissed off and I bet she will figure out who MC choice over her - it would be a storm. She may be very vindictive and her interest in mystic "mummy" was a beginning.
- any MG branch with a "feelings for" Josy or Maya. It potentially lead to cheating options and content. Josy definitely won't give up. We still haven't seen her reaction to any of MC relationships with any other MGs.
- No matter how sad it is, break up with Throuple option - for all of 3 MG branches, it should lead to something, probably to drama or tragedy, but who khows. This is my least favorite option, but I want to see the consequences and options for further developments, for example, will we have a scene with Josy, similar to one with had in EP9 with Jill, etc. Personally I see a Bella branch as a bomb here. While Jill & Sage as more acceptable and understandable.
- Just a total "train wreck" playthroughs. When your MC fuck up all he touch and interfere with. Like zero or even negative MGs RP, zero or close to zero RPs for DIK, Derek, etc. Add here failing with mansion repair - so Rusty sells his car to Maya's dad, as well as get "F" rank for party planning, be rude to everyone, even to your father, always act as a scumbag, etc, etc.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe you can get Nora if you're on Jill's path.

 

[soprano31]

Correct.
not a divine exhausting threesome with sandy and the heavenly nicole
no quickie in the bathroom with Nora

Cockblocking goblin jill

 

[Kpyna]

I could be wrong, but I don't believe you can get Nora if you're on Jill's path.

Yes, you can't bang her in EP6, but you can practice with her in gym and flirt a lot and get her number. Knowing now that she will become one of MC teachers, we can expect everything. From innocent awkwardness from being at her classes to something more significant.

In general, it can be summarized that J&M and Jill save MC from most shit.

Oh... wait. We can do a Jill + Jade route (and a Cathy as a bonus), so no, goblin charms (fuck, why some call her this? I'm always fucking laugh about it) and spells are not working as they would.
Only our cute & little fairies cope with this task properly by directing MCs dickhead into a right place

Maybe I'm still sleeping, but I'm curious how that would work considering in Ep08 you're forced to pick one or 'others' (given of course, that one selected the proper choices to that point). Because if you chose to date Jill when you reach that crossroads, you automatically have to ditch Jade.

As for Cathy, I can see that happening if/and/or when she's brought back into the fold.

**Edit**
And I forgot about Nora in the Gym and the options you have there. Nice catch on that one.

When I mean Jade + Jill I mean the same possible tragic consequences when you do it being on Sage path. We have to ditch her anyway when choice any MG instead of others (and this even not possible if you do it being on Jill path, since Others is blocked then). Show video to DIKs for extra spice and sparks.
