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

[ffive]

But I’ve found all you gotta do to pretty much always get the contracts:

1. Don’t have Tremolo give his little passive-aggressive speech at dinner.
2. When Derek buzzes, hide in Maya’s room under the bed.
3. Ideally, choose “Rescue Maya.” If a DIK, he can punch Patrick, but don’t.
4. After you leave the house, you’ll always get the scene where Tremolo stops the car, goes back, and gets the contracts.

It’s not rocket science; it’s simply choosing to not be a dick.

Note, this hinges on how MC handled initial meeting with Patrick a few episodes back. If he made really bad impression there (4 penalty points) then he can only get the contract if he can pick CHICK way to diffuse the situation when Patrick gets rough with Maya. If he told Josy about Chad and can't pick the CHICK choice then, unless he was really smooth in the initial conversation, he's as good as boned.

Does the MC find out about this through conversations with the Royces?

It's in the diary for the most part. Lynette has to move to the hotel and her dad says they need to leave their home. Why not let her and her mom stay in the nice house? It could be because they couldn't afford to keep up both the house and pay out the money on the hotel renovation. They get there and find out it's a money pit. Granddad doesn't understand the sunk cost fallacy so goes all-in to finish the job so he can recover his investment. If they had other wealth he would keep their family home and use his other assets to fund the project, but he's strapped for cash and borrows against his home's value, then when the project continues to bleed cash he has to sell the house to pay back the loans and finish it. We know that the Royces buy it about 19 years ago, and granddad may have been trying to sell the house in a market where there are few buyers for months before Maynard hears about his distress and brokers a sale with Jill's family right about the time MC gets born.

Lynette's diary probably starts about 20 years in the past, as that allows time for her to pitch a fit about having to move and run away, get found, dragged back to the hotel, meet Neil and eventually fall in love, then have 9 months to give birth to MC.

For a ghost she's got a really nice rack.

Mac version can't be opened... any ideas?

Read recent posts all the way back to where v 10 was released.

Josy’s behavior makes total sense to me. It’s not immature; it’s someone in love (and lust) who understandably presumed her dude was as into her as she was him. And was gobsmacked when without warning, he left to be with somebody else. It hurt bad.

Maya, in comparison, is taking it better. But her response isn’t because she’s more mature; it’s because she’s used to getting hurt. She can take an emotional beating and still get back up. Which is heartbreaking in its own way.

Let me disagree. MC didn't leave her: she left him.

[unless you're talking about the scenario where you start dating J&M, then you leave them for Sage/Jill/Bella, of course]

Josy and Maya cornered him into friendship. MC suggesting them the throuple relationship totally surprised them.

If you go with the friendship path, you'll see that their relationship gets strained. If you play your cards with Josy and tell Derek you feel for her, she will regret her choice (friendzoning you). Same with Maya: If you play your cards with Maya and tell Derek you feel for her, she will regret as well as.

But you get more lewd scenes on a DIK path. Obvious example: the date with Sage. I have two paths saved with her; a DIK and CHICK run. On the DIK path, Tremolo gets a blowie. On the CHICK path, they have a lovely conversation about traits they find attractive in one another… but nothing more than a kiss goodnight. Oh, they can still have anal in the tent later, but CHICK generally gets the dude cockblocked.

The key choice with Sage's date is what you answered her at the end of ep.9: if you are OK with her "surprises" you get the full treatment. If you went for "vanilla" you get the vanilla date.

I find it very strange that there has been no mention of the restaurant for several episodes now. When was the last time the MC went there? Episode 5 or 6?

Why is that?

Is DPC trying to make us forget some of the girls' pasts to make them more attractive?

Or is it to make us forget that the MC was a client, so that when it comes back to bite the MC in the ass, we'll be shocked or surprised?

I wonder why so many of you guys who play as a massive dick who makes very questionable choices always think that the massive dik route is the ONLY route.

Have you ever thought that quite a lot of players chose to close the restaurant by refusing its services?

 

[atrebor68]

I feel DPC loves the branching and working on it and doesn't care how hard it is or how long it takes, I genuinely do think the mad bastard loves working on it which is why he adds more and more. The minigames, animation and branching would've been curtailed by any sane dev to save work and time. He doesn't and seems to have zero intention of ever doing so he in fact adds more.

I think we'll see more added not less I doubt many of us would be surprised if a dedicated Sarah, Melanie, Zoey or Jade mini route similar to Quinn and Rio popped up next episode.

The game was always too complex it started with 5 potential branches. He just doubled down on it as the game has gone on.

LOL . Love your nickname, man!

Last scenes of Episode 10 are telling us what to expect from episode 11. The shit is just starting to hit the fun HARD.

Pay attention to these final words from MC remembering what we've just seen happening: "I'm thankful for that Thanksgiving... and that horrible holiday weekend was only just beginning."

Hopefully no one is going to be killed.

Om on "other" path. But cant remember if i almost fooled around with cathy. Is there a way to see that?

You can check your progress with each girl in Stats in your mobile phone.

 

[ZazzyBoi]

Did anyone else notice that a DIK MC slaps Elena's ass harder than other affinities? Feel like that might be a point against the Elena "route" in the future.

About the wait time, yeah its going to take a while.

Meanwhile, people remember to vote how here about when do you think Episode 11 will come out!

"Abril" in poll my man. It's cool to see that we seem to be reaching a consensus that DPC will be making one update per year now

 

[Aonaro]

yeeeey lets enjoy this before waiting another year... its like a christmas gift every year after all

ep 10 walkthrough ?

 

[SteelyDan14]

only sage no bj i play 2 save

Sorry dude... not sure what to tell you. DPC is good at having multiple things impact various actions so maybe there was something you missed along the way. It might be related to affinity as well. Once the official walkthrough is released, you should be able to figure it out then.

 

[SteelyDan14]

I'm afraid this game is getting too complex... 4 official committed branches; one of them splitting in three (Maya, Josy, and keeping the throuple); the Others branch having many variations and unofficial commitments (Quinn, Lily, Riona, Nicole...); the remaining commited branches having their own variations based on choices and affinity... I'm not only afraid the development time will increase exponentially but also that Mr. DPC will end up crazy...

You left out Heather and Elana...

 

[ZazzyBoi]

Against or for?

Well depends on if she does like it, her initial reaction seemed to be against it though that may be because she expected a love tap, not a red-cheeker.
