VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[dalli_x]

DPC is an absolutist when it comes to control of his creation. He refuses to hire help. That is his right.

Some people would like him to soften that stance and delegate to speed up the development process.
It's their right to that opinion, especially if they are paying customers.

Other ideas were thrust forward, like axing Madame Rose. I don't mind the old broad.
I agree with the sentiment that the 60fps animations were an unnecessary upgrade.
I don't care about that in a visual novel.

The impossible isn't being requested. It's very possible but it's not how DPC wants to run his development process.
I personally don't have a dog in the fight. I respect both perspectives.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but don't deny that to DPC. BaDIK is his creation and he doesn't want to hire anyone. We also have to accept his opinion and we can't change anything about it anyway.

DPC explained the thing with the Madame and the 60 fps animations. The Madame didn't take much time and that's why he's continuing with 60 fps animation because otherwise his PCs finish too quickly and he has to do animation again and again, which means other important work on the game is left behind. DPC has adopted a working method that is varied and does not lead to monotony. Such monotony can lead to a loss of motivation. DPC needs balance during game development.

Is the impossible required? Ask an employee from whom the employer demands ever higher performance. At some point it becomes impossible. We humans have limits. Yes, I know, so that some people now think again that he should hire people, which he doesn't want. There is a difference between delegating work to something yourself and delegating to people (employees). This also needs to be learned and it is not every person's ability to delegate to others, to delegate correctly. We have all read how high DPC demands of itself and these demands are its benchmark. Now ask yourself, which employee would put up with this for long?

If DPC wants to make this move (employee) in his next game, it would make more sense because he can form a team from the start that would have consistent standards. It is simply too late for BaDIK.

Quinnism frees the mind from the shackles of stupid stereotypes.
View attachment 3356698

Yet, only Ariethism can free Quinnism from its remaining shackles.

May Quinnism be baptized by the crabs of Ariethism!

 

[Darkwen]

Not progressive enough. Quinnism is conservative compared to Ariethism.

Karamba should ask Joshy92 to take him under his wing, and get out of his comfort zone.

Quinnism submits to Vinnyism where as Ariethism answers to no one in other words quinnism is like pre school while Ariethism is college.
But lets be honest there should only be one Joshy
So leave behind these ism's and join the Great Empire of Josy and spread the greatness of the one true Goddess Alady

 

[soprano31]

So can I play both paths? Or should I choose Isabelle?

Do you want to go for a boring relationship with Isabella,
or just keep fucking around like a real DIK ?
Both are not possible,the choice is yours..

I'm with you. But I'll have to halt at the gates of the Great Empire of Josy. I sadly cannot join.
At first I read it as the Great Empire of Joshy92.

My main exclusive route is between Maya and Jill. I'm not ready to choose.
I'm but a wandering ronin.

I agree. He's entitled to his opinion and can develop his creation however he wants.
We're also free to have our own opinions and voice them.
Paying customers are especially entitled to their opinions.

Well I can respect that but fear not the Great Empire of Josy offers safe travel for Maya and even Jill fans as part of the love and peace campaign

Quinnism submits to Vinnyism

Oh, you invented a religion glorifying Vinny.
I forgot how much you love this guy.
You're probably playing the game because of him.
And Josy is just a cover.

 

[Ottoeight]

It's a not a secret to Jamie, since he hooks up with Riona a lot and I highly doubt that she is doing it for free. Girls have their talks, guys have their own, it would be strange if Derek still have no clue that a few of girls are "available" for $ in a campus. Maybe not the whole thing and how it works exactly, but still. Not all the HOTs are prostitutes, it's Quinn business, so encouraging Maya to pledge to sisterhood shouldn't make any deal here. She would never do that for tuition, even if she knew in advance. So I don't see where the kind of guilty may come from to Derek in this case.

We are talking a lot about possible reveal of Quinn and Stephen business and things, but it would mean that a lot of characters have to be "removed" from the story at a time at some point (very close one if it's supposed to happen). Riona, Camila, Sarah, Melanie and Quinn herself. They can't deny that and stay in B&R like as nothing happened and B&R state and presence are also highly questionable after a such potential reveal. It will never happen, probably, for a bunch of reasons or at least it would at the very end of the game. Anyway, B&R shutdown means that DIKs, other frats, HOTs etc have no future and MC and his LI and friends will probably have to move to another college. Make your bets.

When did you see Jamie with Riona?

We should make a brand new gameplay since day 1 and check how many times and when we see a HOT talking to a DIK.

Why does the doctor jump out when episode 10 starts?

I think he and Quinn are nothing but a joke but you know it Quinn that loves the guy but I'm not losing any sleep over a useless pot device and a never was

 

[Darkwen]

And what rhymes with cover, also starts with "C" and describes Josy as a person ?

Josy the best haters are going to hate

In order to import saves, you want to unzip and install the "Transfer_Data.zip" file into a folder labeled "persistent" found in your renpy saves folder. Use this link to find your folder on your device (

You must be registered to see the links

). After installing said file, follow the instructions on this post.

Placing saves/persistent on their own is a bit simpler. All you'll need to do is take the season 3 saves/persistent (Interlude, Episode 9 and 10 saves) unzip them and place them in a folder labeled "BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494" (the numbers on the end might be a little different for you). Said folder can be found in the same location as the "persistent" folder mentioned above.

I found the RenPy persistent folder but when i paste the persistent and I open the game nothing happens. I need the transfer data zip too?

No no no, the persistent file goes into the "BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494" folder. the Transfer data file goes into the persistent folder.

mc "I'll cut to the chase. What do you think about Derek?"
cam "Derek? He's a fun guy, but he's also pretty immature - not to mention drunk as hell tonight."
mc "Sounds like you know him well."
cam "I wouldn't say that. I mean, we haven't talked a lot."
cam "But I've been around him and girls talk."
mc "He's a cool guy, though. Right?"
cam "Yeah. Sure."
cam "You're trying to set me up with your friend the same night you fucked me?"
mc "I promised I'd ask."
cam "Well, the answer is no, ok? For many reasons."

Whenever I’ve played the Others route, I’ve encountered Camila on the dance floor before encountering Derek on the couch, so I’ve never heard her rebuke the MC for trying to set her up with Derek on the same he fucked her. I’m in the bad habit of going through the scenes in the same order each time. I’m learning not to!

But most of the time I’m on different paths, and half those times I don’t mind being a bro for Derek. I know how it’s gonna end, but still. Regardless, Derek needs to get over Ashley since she’s gonna be with Anthony—and so far Anthony’s a good dude, so Ashley’s better off.

There are lesbian and gay relationships in which children grow up and that works too. Take Josy, Maya and the MC as an example. Each child would have their own mother (nothing more than a lesbian relationship with children) and father. I do not see a problem there. Children in a normal relationship (mother and father) also play their parents against each other. That is normal. In a three-way relationship with children it wouldn't be much different.

I wouldn't care what my family and my culture would think of me living in a three-way relationship. The only thing that matters to me is whether I and the two women want it. I wouldn't care about anything else. Lesbian relationships are no longer taboo in most western countries, on the contrary, two women can even get married and have children. Of course, there is no such thing as a triple marriage, but there is a solution to how all three can connect permanently. Josy and Maya get married and both have children from the MC. It's just a nice thought for the MC to grow old together with the two women he loves and who love each other. That is love. I'm just imagining the three of them, aged 50+, sitting on the porch and watching their children play with their children. That would be a fulfilling life.

I can only imagine successful individual relationships if the MC in EP4 chooses friendship and not the throuple relationship. Josy said more than once in the game that she didn't want to lose either of them. Josy said in EP4 (Throuple Relationship) so she doesn't want to lose Maya and Maya said to Josy so that won't happen. Therefore, I think that if there should be successful individual relationships, it can only happen on the basis of friendship. On the throuple relationship, the MC will either be in the threesome relationship or end up not being with JM if he messes up.

Honestly. Without Josy, I still wouldn't know anything about such a "Beard" relationship. So I'm not surprised that the MC didn't know anything about it.

Caleb might surprise us. He has no interest in the HOTs. We could read that in EP10. That makes you wonder why not. If an Alpha has a problem with homosexuality, it's Dawe.

Halloween costumes. The allusion in EP9 was confirmed in EP10. Sick Helen and religious Patrick. The pumpkin costume has its meaning, I feel like that. Moment. Maya touches the white, black and red costume. I don't want to see where this could lead. So with my MC in the dressing room to Maya.

It's difficult enough trying to balance time and attention between two children.
I couldn't imagine balancing time and attention between two lineages of children with two different mothers.

A man only has so much time. Two wives with two sets of children is too much.
It's an unhealthy family model. Not to mention the resources needed if one is not wealthy.

The MC comes from a humble background, as does Maya and Josy.
Two wives, two sets of children... Not to mention when MC/Maya/Josy are elderly and need more care.
Not a sustainable model amongst the masses and it's fringe for a reason.

It's also important for children to have a traditional, stable, and sustainable family model, that is well tested over many generations, to pattern themselves after.

Models that haven't been tested thoroughly are an experiment.
Models that existed but are now fringe, are fringe because they don't work on a mass scale.

This character type would be overdone in the story, if Caleb is another beefy gay jock like Chad and Troy.
I think DPC is smart enough to have more contrast than that.

You can't blame Caleb for avoiding Arieth.
To his credit, it doesn't seem like he would sleep with his bro's girlfriend.
He didn't understand what was so special about the HOTs, and had a "more fish in the sea" attitude.

Dawe is almost in awe of Chad.
I could see him initially having a "yuck" gut reaction, but accepting Chad despite his sexual preferences later.
Caleb is a hothead and more of a genuine bully. Dawe is a poser.

I'm not seeing anything deeper regarding the pumpkin costume.

No no no, the persistent file goes into the "BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494" folder. the Transfer data file goes into the persistent folder.

It's working!!! Thank you so much for all the help

 

[SteveyP]

No need to thank me. I'm just glad I could help. Let me know if you have any more questions or issues. Enjoy!

You will never see them in action ("NTR" lol), but there are tons of more or less subtle hints through the whole game.



Also, Tommy's words about how good Quinn and Riona in blowjobs (if I remember right EP3, during the "rejects" parade scene). And since Riona till EP7 is available only for $ I doubt that she made a favors for Jamie, Tommy etc. Sarah & Mel ? Same shit. Who's else is left from the HOTs? Elena in relationship with JB, Heather is Tommy's "gf", Arieth? what a joke, but probably the only "sex for free" option. Sage is MG and reserved for MC. Camila just pledged and already in restaraunt. The only ones who is not involved are mostly the new HOTs - Josy, Maya (both MGs), Ashley (don't have a clue), Lily (knows about Quinn and prostitution ring, but she does the same at Pink Rose) and Mona leaved B&R already.

Why does the doctor jump out when episode 10 starts?

Because he is shocked of what you have done with your saves!

Anthony isn't really a good dude. He's written as the typical jock who picks on the nerds, he's an asshole. I'm not saying Derek is a saint either. But Ashley is clearly on a "I can change him" path with Anthony and clearly has unresolved feelings for Derek, whom she'd probably like to change as well.

If Ashley gets over her bad-boy phase she'll settle down with somebody a lot more normal than either of them.

I disagree. When the hell breaks loose and MC is about to step up and take on Caleb, Anthony is the one who tries to break the fight until it gets to something bigger(unlike Dawe's sucker punch).
Anthony is the one who figures shit out with DIK pictures.
If you ask me, his character is a trope of "stupid yet smart when necessary" and is the more mature out of all the secondary jocks.
Ashley is Derek's go-to in the game, who will end up with her, unless MC intervenes - I guess it's obvious. Plus goofy jokester Derek - bad boy? Come on.
