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

Yes, you have to alternate, otherwise you will have (temporary) DIK or CHICK affinity.
You can check your status and affinity on your phone.
I recommend to check the excellent official guide linked in the OP. ( #49,935 )

Appreciate the advice, actually already got that guide, it is super helpful.

johndoe19 One last piece of advice from me is to save often.
You can always clean up your saves if you have too many saves that meant nothing, but having to do several minutes of content again every time you didn't get the outcome you wanted can be discouraging.

 

[johndoe19]

johndoe19 If you're following the walkthrough then yes, balancing DIK and CHICK choices is smart if you just want as many of the choices with special requirements available to you. However, focusing too much on that might ruin a bit of the fun the first time around. Dictating your own choices too much by a number.

Going from DIK to CHICK and back however is not something I've done. Keeping it at either 7 to 8 or -7 to -8 and then pushing it to HUGE DIK/CHICK or NEUTRAL when there's an upcoming action that requires it in the walkthrough, will give you access to a few more choices.

Got it, thanks, this will actually be my second playthrough, my first one I just chose the choices i felt i would make irl. Appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

Last question lol, do you actually miss anything from playing without mini-games? I don't know if i want to bother with them my second go around.

 

[AtotehZ]

I don't know. I always played them, but I lowered the brawler to easy since I got tired of it. No penalties there at least.

You get secret renders first time around but if you start a new game and turn them off then they'll be turned off for future episodes as well meaning you won't get the new secret renders if you make this your main save. Also, I don't know if it will affect your "tests passed" stat and if that will be valuable later on or not.

Bro...Come on, when one of your girlfriends cheats on you it is an unforgivable sin and you must rain a holy sea of fire down upon her thot ways. That is the way. Also fuck that two face lying bitch Maya

Josy and Maya are why the reasons why the female species as a whole deserve less. As written by our Lord and Savior Future

I think Arieth is ur girl man, many similarities and i'm sure u will find common ground in most topics.
And if u can teach her the ways of ur lord and get her back on the right way, it will improve the general health of the whole campus.

Newsflash, neither of them was your Girlfriend, if anything they cheated on each others with you a third party, that they both fell attraction, so that's why they forgive each other so easily .
but each their own.
your's beta MC would probably not even able to handle the awesomeness of Josy and Maya

If I’m not totally wrong, but now the results don’t affect the girls in any way... yet(?)
but in the future, season 2 or 3 could be affected.

Example:
If MC is bad in math or English then Jill doesn’t like it.
As Mya doesn't like if MC is a bad feminism thing.

But this would probably add too much variation to things(Girl/chick and DIK pts+Test results)

So probably play with them on just in case?

 

[Sorrow85]

Not just them:
Josy and Mya together
Josy or Mya
Jill and jade(Ep4 ending if you miss m/j)

I know, I'm a hopeless person.
So three different save must be.

Edit:
Season 1:
Josy or mya: Check
Jill and Jade: Check
Josy and Mya: nooooo....

 

[Zirael Q]

ok to break apart some serious talk … Question time... anybody can trow their two cents into this...

The s.x movie with Jade how many of u dik brothers will A present it to the revieuw board or B keep it a secret

I'm presenting it. I trust my DIK brothers and I wouldn't do that do Derek, he's a bro... I have a save the other way too you know, just in case

I always played with minigames off, you don't miss on any special render, you will still get them from free roam parts and unlocking the vault in each episode. Money is no problem either, the free roam parts have extra money you can find to make up for money you miss from not playing minigames. I also found no situation which needed any "tests passed" stat, so I'd say there is no problem if you want to play with them off.

 

[Real Kreten]

Yeah, I plan to have saves for all three routes, i was just wondering how you go down the neutral path, by alternating between dik and chick choices? Thanks for the other tips btw

There is one situation in the game with Magnar, where if you spend all the money in a strip club and don't have minigames. You can't pay him for a wegie.

The feels this gives

 

[SerDiesel]

The task that the maggot brothers need to finish. After playing the chick route and neutral they dint complete the "egg the preep" task do i need to play the dik route so i can see if they complete that task?

Newsflash...I hope both of them turn into HOTS sluts...would be just fine for me.

I've never played with mini-games off so I have a question in the other direction:

a) what happens when there is a fight in game (e.g. with Chad or the 3 jocks)? Do people just get thrown into the deep end with potentially nothing invested in skills or you choose an outcome via text or what?

b) can you still get the "copying for the Nerds money" without actually taking the tests?

a) If you choose to fight, you will win ... if it is possible to win.
If you play against Derek you can choose to win or loose.

b) no. You pass tests automatically. You don't have the option to buy stuff from Derek or Magnar at all.


If you played through the game before, start a new game and fast forward using the CTRL-key to see how the game plays without mini-games.

Heh, I remember when this one was brought up all the time by a certain fanbase wasn't going to happen back then it won't happen now. It goes against Maya's character just wait until she finds out about Quinn's menu she won't like that one bit.
