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

[DarkKiller]

• Why did she need a job so badly she was freaking out when she was possibly living with her folks and the house was likely paid up?

Student loan debt, lest we forget, the game is based on the US of A.
Or simply the fact that she's probably not the kind of woman to lazy around at home and she'd probably go a bit mad if she didn't have a job.

I think the house is a non-issue, her parents died, she inherited it, started living there with James, life might've gotten a little bit easier but there are still bills that need to be paid.

I don't think people who want faster updates want to cut down on the potential routes even with side girls, which is one of the best things about the game.

What they want is for DPC to cut down on needless things that will add little to nothing to the enjoyment of the game but add a lot to the development time. The most egregious being the switch to 60 FPS which will make animations (already a bottleneck that extended development time of past episodes) take double the time to render. Also when a month or so ago he made an update stating he had spent a week just polishing scenes he had already rendered (something he does at the end of the development cycle anyway so that just made a week of no progress for no reason because he got distracted).

Oh dude I'm aware of the whole animations and 60fps debacle but I kid you not, had or saw discussion on this forum, where people argued many routes is a bad decision and a design flaw, saying DPC should abandon it for 5 main girls + maybe Quinn.

If Nicole and Madame are taken from me I shall.. er... Write a strongly worded letter with many expletives!

Doing a reply in anticipation of the next update. During the cumpetition in S1, Camilla has something weird on her leg. Any idea what this is? I must have totally missed this in my first few plays, and I don't recall there ever being a mention? It looks like a cast or something?

Harley Quin wears a stocking and a... weird sock on the other foot? Man, I've been watching the wrong films clearly.

Here's a standalone game of the mansion minigame.

Standalone Mansion Repair Game (MEGA Download)​

It lets you play the entire mansion game in one hit (including a few cutscenes that are relevant). It's even got a mansion repair themed intro!


Yeah, it was clearly a hint to something, and does undermine the idea of the room being a kid's room.

But they don't look like they are "flying" to me. It looks like they are just sitting on a rug and are angled a bit due to the heel at the back:

Still, that whole, "called out for help" monologue. Maybe the mc meant call out for his own help, because she really is psycho. I love the idea that she's a psychotic killer, and James has been dead all this time, but that would destroy her character completely. I'd be surprised if DPC intended that all long.

When you are at Bella's house you can notice that the rooms change. While MC was drunk he "fixed" all the picture frames.

When you move in with Bella you can notice that all pictures have been removed (except for the wedding photo in Bella's bedroom - which also disappears once Bella is ready to have sex with MC in her bedroom).

You can also notice that the large frame in her study room was once hanging, then leaning on the wall with the picture facing the wall and then it is ultimately gone. You can see your attached picture with the shoes only after that large photo frame is gone. Which leads me to belive that it is the picture frame placed in the locked room. On the floor there is probably a towel or tarp something like this on which the frame was placed.

Also I think Bella and James had a child. It kinda looks like that in this picture. If you zoom in it kinda looks like a man's face on the left side of the frame and a child's face on the right. Could be James with their child.

I think he was there as you can see his reflection in the window. If he wasn't there there should be no reflection.

Yeah, it's also interesting that Bella is specifically looking at the frame in that shot:

That's not some random walk pose, she's clearly staring right at it.

I wonder why... It's like she's making a mental note, "I should probably put that in the other room once he's gone."

Yeah, that's his shoulder in the bottom right of the left most window, but I don't know what the rules are when someone is hallucinating an imaginary husband into existence... maybe she's got a really good imagination.

 

[DanKaye519]

I think it's the house of these parents, but as they often fought, she left to live in her own apartment, for that I think she told her ex husband that she needed her job, for pay the rent, but when these parents wanted to go elsewhere they had to tell Bella we're leaving the house to you, so she got her house back, saw the house and what's more he left it like that to their daughter, these parents must be very rich

I still think it goes back to something the MC makes in the library during a short dialogue with Bella about Sage. He either thinks to himself or says to himself, "Everybody knows each other here", or something like that. That creates only about a few hundred different directions this thing could go. Haha

 

[Joshy92]

Wait now people are saying Bella is crazy?
Nah, I don't believe that she is just a sweet & kindhearted woman.
In fact, All the girls are sweet & Kind in this game

Obviously Maya is the kindest & Sweetest of them all
But the others are still great too

I just saw new twitter post, damn Lil Wayne is envious of MC's grills

 

[NecromancerB]

I find the most intriguing aspect to these discussions is that so many people are developing all these theories without knowing what is rattling inside DPC's mind. I used to examine and create ideas thinking I could solve what was going on. Then I realized it's just a game and I'll wait for chapter 10 to see what is actually happening. I mean one person here thinks the stocking on Camilla's right leg is some strange indication. . .it's just a sock. The game is an escape or fantasy, diving in too deep is surely a sign of madness.

Lol. That person was me

This game has so much damn branching, I keep discovering new shit on each player through (admitidly I've only played it twice). I was wondering if there was something I missed, like if Camilla was wearing a leg cast and she had got in a fight or something. You have to admit its a weird looking sock!

I thought about it before and checked render for the reflection previously. But we are talking about scene and flashback. He is not a vampire or something like that and we are watching the scene not even from some other character eyes, but like from side "cam".

So, presence of his reflection doesn't prove nor refute theory, imo.

Also, I don't know DAZ well enough, so, if some more expirienced users can answer and tell - is it possible to exclude some model/object reflection or something like that from the final render or not - it could give another hint. Since if it's not possible - DPC can't jump over it even if he want. On the other hand - giving so blatant hint to attentive players such as absence of character reflection would immediately make things clear for a lot/rest of players. It would spoil such things, which are intended to be opened step by step.

All I know is that the mc is taking too long to propose to Maya & Josy
He has 5000 dollars he could buy them engagement rings right now.

Are you in a hurry to get to prison, bro? Just wait until you have to kill Vinny.

Spending $5,000 on crap like that, he'd be better off buying equipment to make meth with Quinn. Money must be invested to make a profit! You have no economic spirit, Joshy...
