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

[TobiMAH]

(near death coma) something like that

For me i said that maybe there will be an overdose and it's at the end of this season or an end of an ep but then surprise there's nth to worry about it's not a death and the character is alive but getting treated.

Fighting mode in game sucks totally... How disable or modify keyboard shortcuts ? Cant normallny fight (W, S, A, D) because of this shitty A "shortcut"... No, I cant use arrows (ultrabook).

I hope so, maybe after this event we need to deal with the drug problem on campus, that would put the MC in a collision course with Tommy and whoever is in charge of it. Some crazy shit can happen then.

There's also the possibility of a friend or LI becoming adicted to something. That could go to really complicated places.

There are a lot of ways for things to take a more sombre turn w/o having to resort to death(s).

Not saying any of them will happen but examples:
- Fired. Candidates; Bella, Cathy, Jade (having sex with a student (MC) would be grounds - could trigger peops who've been laid off?) Not counting Burke as people will be happy rather than depressed with that event.
- Expelled. Candidates; any of the student LIs plus Derek.
- Mental breakdown. Candidates; all except maybe Josy and Cathy
- Rehab/arrested. Candidates; The HoTs/DIKs/Jocks
- Disabled/loses a limb. Candidates; any, but Derek would be most likely

No need for deaths or fires.

At least you're honest about not knowing how ridicoulus the game can be. Come back to me when you've tried the other options and (this is even more important) keep an eye on the weekday. You will notice that the MC is barely interacting with people and the pacing is anything but natural.

I don't find the game ridiculous to be honest and I had no idea the weekday shows somewhere.
What I am saying is that ... there are no option to be an ass to Maya. You can be rude to her once or twice perhaps, help her 50% of the time instead 100% of the time etc. I.e. you can be good to her or very good to her.

Considering what Sage goes through with limpdick cheater asshole boyfriend of hers, Maya that gets treated well\very well from a person that's not her boyfriend is very realistic.

Now i feel bad for the way i replied to him ): , ohhiimfox don't listen to me listen to good guy Mormont

You know, you could edit your post then and add an "EDIT: Sorry for the language".

He wouldn't get a notification that i edited tho so that would make it pointless + i commented again cuz Mormont's comment was the reason of my comment cuz i replied to him, no harms done anyways so yeah.

Fired: No, it's not really dramatic and all the above mentioned are very much safe - they are very influential in B&R - except Bella.
Expelled: Derek or even MC - but just for a cheap, one update, storyline.
Mental breakdown: I don't know why you think Cathy and Josy are safe? Cathy is in the middle age crisis, Josy already was torn apart with everything around her. But I don't know if that could create enough drama.
Rehab/arrest: Pretty much everyone. Maybe, again, Derek or MC as part of Hell Week gone awry. After all, Jacob had the very same experience.
Disabled/loses a limb: Yes, I would even add prolonged coma. Derek - again - as a possible candidate, but also Neil (dad)

Can it get darker? Rape - off the screen, of course? Kidnapping? That could be related, later on, with mental breakdown etc.
Murder is "nope", if we believe DPC, but how dark - and what he would consider "dark" - the game could get?

Meanwhile, when Jill is away...

I've done no such thing.

 

[Mormont]

I really hope that doesn't become the case but I think the Li's have a good nature about them and just don't strike me as the drug-taking types and will most likely steer clear of all that, I for one wouldn't be happy if it was to go there and I'd have to consider if I wanted to carry on.

 

[Kingkoopa97]

Take this one with a pinch of salt but maybe some accidental incest with Derick and Maya? maybe maya gives in to working at the gloryhole for quinn. that would diffidently be pretty dark in a game with no incest plus it would really fuck their releationship.

 

[Hellysium]

Like MC and Jade engaging in public sex and striking three tasks at once: public sex, fuck a teacher, fuck a feminist, while Derek is busy with the other task, washing and watching

Ahah I could definitely see GOB being a strong role model for Derek!
(As long as it doesn't mean that Maya is Lindsay and the MC is Tobias.)

All of the above are possible except rape. That along with NTR are the two things that would put players ( his patrons) off the most. You can introduce drama and have the story go dark but anything too crazy and without subtle warning isn't gonna sit well for most players. These are college students in a school setting not adults living on their own in the outside world. It'd be extremely difficult to carry rape or even kidnapping out in a believable manner.

The trigger warning at the beginning was likely for (imo)

Maya's situation regarding her father and her desperate need for money
Josy's struggles with her family and getting accepted
Bella's situation with her husband (which we don't know yet)
MC's personal backstory on being poor and not having his mother growing up
Jade's husband's infidelity
Jill's seemingly unknown background with being bullied.
Dealing with nasty people like Tommy, Jocks, Quinn and etc because people like them exist in the real world

and likely more that we've yet to find out due to not being very far in the story. All the issues listed above are real life situations that happen to people all around the world. It's what DPC meant with 'this game can hit close to home at times'.

That's the last thing i want to happen in this game

like i said pinch of salt. im just throwing shit at the wall. there is only so much you can do without death, rape/Ntr that could be as dark and shocking you know? having a bad history is meh unless we see some flash backs.

It was attempted in AL and that's as far as it went but in all honestly, I'd rather not see that at all it's more of a put off than anything he needs to go in another direction not just go down the AL route again.

 

[DrackDrap]

I disagree, there are many, many things that fall into the realm of dark and shocking. It just happens that things like those that you said are the biggest "oomph" possibilities that can really hit you at once.

I really don't see this happening. A lot of people would feel that this amounts to sneaky-NTR. And this is a game where the boyfriends of the Love Interests are either away for yeaaaars or have limp dicks, literally, and can't fuck them.
I.e. in a game as averse to show a jock kissing his girlfriend because the MC may be romantically involved with her, or that the "boyfriends" of the two LI are girls and far away from each other ...
I really, really, really don't see this happening.

Thing is, we know just one thing - nothing else - and that one thing is: there will be no deaths (if we're to believe DPC).
What we know it won't happen are NTR and incest - cause those are "no-no" things for DPC (again, if we can believe him).

Everything else is a possibility. And we're going back to that question without an answer: "What DPC considers dark/unsettling enough to warrant those warnings on the start screen?"

Drugs probably. If Sage or Maya or someone else likeable is an addict and have to struggle with that, it would be pretty damn dark.

And I don't mean Tommy, I don't like him. However, Quinn is already a prostitute and an addict.
And if the mob is involved with their lack of money, there may not be on-screen rape, but there could be a Quinn (or Camila or the Asian girl) beaten up and bleeding with rape either implied or mentioned.

The reason I am considering to continue the playthrough with Quinn's threesome is that I believe they would really need that money or they will be in deep shit. But what if Maya or a "better than a drug dealing prostitute" girl needs that money?
Or what if the MC's father has an accident and needs the money and badly?
We will see...
