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

[dalli_x]

Hi quick newbie question: I play with massive DIK affinity and I am currently in episode 6. Early on, I chose Jill for my route but i got spoiled a little about her rejecting you in episode 7 if you have a DIK affinity. I was wondering if anything changes in episodes 8, 9 and 10 if MC still tries to go for Jill or is completely hopeless?

Most of my decisions were based on increasing relationship points with her, so I would change that NOW before its too late

I don't want you spoilers when it comes to EP8-EP10.

DPC once wrote that he didn't include a visible RP counter in the game because he didn't want players to be guided by it. He wants players to be free to decide what they want. I assume what DPC meant was that players make decisions based on intuition and empathy.

From my experience, I can only recommend that you make decisions in BaDIK the way you would make them IRL. I have no idea whether it will end well or badly for the MC at the end of BaDIK, but at least I'm at peace with myself because I didn't lie to myself.

But everyone has to decide for themselves.

As of Episode 10, there's no way to get back on her path if she rejects you.
Keep in mind that status and affinity are two different things. You can have DIK status and have neutral affinity. But since your DIK status is massive DIK, you probably have DIK affinity too.

Ah, that sucks, I really liked her. But my current first run is pure degeneracy.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cant Text Jill on the 2nd free roam ep 10. Cant progress because of it. Is there any fix?

not a game issue, its a mod issue. so go to the mod thread for it.

Ohh i see thanks! can you direct me to the mod thread? i cant find it unfortunately

Oddly specific question but are there any unavoidable bad ends or scenes in this one where you have to choose who lives and who dies? Still reeling from playing Acting Lessons.

and how do i suppose to know which mod you used in the past? All mods are in the opening post linked... and if you dont know yourself which mod it was, you are screwed cant help about that.

No... and there will not be any AL incidents either, DPC confirmed that many times.... its a "happy" game with lots of drama and a little darker scenes too, but nothing will go like in AL. At least not so far, and if DPC wasnt lying never will.

The game is going to end by having a massive party at the DIK house with every LI invited, then there will be a house fire and MC will only have time to save one LI.

"Happy" is nice. Or at least have a different routes that may lead to it.

Looks bad for Isabella, but good for Josy and Maya. During the Halloween photos, the MC almost collapsed with Isabella, but the MC was able to carry both Josy and Maya. Good for the branches to be separated.

This decision was actually already done in Episode 8 when mc had breakfast with Tommy+Heather and JohnBoy+Elena talking about serious relationships and when DPC forced the player to choose a monogamous path or the Others path ...
Instead of burying corpses, the mc then had to bury the hopes of all the girls he dated and who were not on the chosen path.

I wonder if something private happened in DPC's life at that time having him change the tone of the game from having fun with many girls to the concept of the one-and-only right girl to get for a monogamous future life? Maybe he lately realised that he missed out on his true love while having fun with other girls during his college times ... or he found his true love?

how do i continue from my last save from the end of episode 9? I keep getting an error when i load my save and it just takes me to the start of episode 9

With Episode 9 you mean the Halloween Party or the California Surf story of Zoey (Interlude)?

You have to import a save game from end of Episode 8 to play "Interlude+Episode 9+Episode 10". You have to play the Interlude once but you can skip it in later playthroughs.
You will have to play 5 or more times through Ep9+10 anyway to see all the stories on the 5 different paths. So my advice would be to
- check your installation (Ep1-8 in one folder, Interlude + Ep9+10 in a different folder),
- restart your playthrough from the ep8 save,
- skip the Interlude and
- play ep9 again.

Did you use a mod? Because this sounds like the code DPC has added in the past just to be a twat and mess up saves for those using mods, if so I would suggest using sanchmod, he is the only one which is meticulous in checking his code and avoiding DPCs childish checks.

Seeing how small Josy is MC can still go back in for another. With Bella's gigantic ass & tits he's gonna be dead by the door Seriously though DPC's gonna be put to hell for trying that AL shit again. Though I'm not discounting that dog Vinny doing sth evil like that, I think the story's gonna pitch him against MC soon, with Riona being kidnapped.

Josy has a fire kink

MC gets Josy out of the house she turns to MC and says "ever wanted to fuck while the world burns around you sounds so hot" MC thinks to himself "well Derek did say no one has ever die in a small house before" Josy then says "well then stop thinking and start fucking me"

Ever one lives happily ever after however Maya becomes deeply worried about Josy and leaves mc and Josy ... for Zoey

I'm keeping both Josy and Maya. But Zoey can stay where she is and for the fun of my threesome relationship I invite Elena.

Are some of the math test minigame stages just unsolvable or am I missing something? On a 5x5 square two crystals should be diagonal to each other and have a distance of 6? Best I got so far is 80 %.

You know, the entire porn industry is built around the denial that there is any such thing. And that sexual appearance based sex is better than feelings based sex. dpc wouldn't endanger his paycheck by going against that.

Although, dpc does allow the presence of 1 girl in the game who does know what true love is. Who could that be?

The situation where her love is not requited and is not valued as a treasure is true to rl though.

Of course, requital is never guaranteed, and always the risk you must take, but mc should be aware of how rare her feeling is and how deserving of
careful consideration she is. It might be that the mc can be forgiven for not noticing before the pillow fort event where she wants to kiss him so badly, but she knows she must not, must at least talk to Maya and maybe even break up with her, before allowing herself to rejoin with the mc.

But at the beginning of a relationship, there is no way to plumb the depth of your prospective partners feelings, so you take your chances, and, at least, plumb your own. If you find you don't really have it, the gamble on your partner is not worth it, odds being what they are.
