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

[Real Kreten]

I see the decision between "friends path" or "more than friends path" as a decision I want "less M&J" content or I want "more M&J" content.
If I choose to want less M&J, I will have fewer opportunities bound with them than the opposite choice.

I hope that:
1. The content of M&J's friends path will be minimal, so people who don't like them will no longer have a reason to complain about them and there will be less uncivil comments.
2. The M&J drama will not return until Maya's father returns. Until then, the girls will also have some time to be happy. So far, the main attention can be shifted to other LI.

For the record, I want more M&J content, but in way that it doesn't upset their protester so much.

I'd prefer if the friendship path had a branch that would keep you as close friends, and anther path that would have you drift apart (leading to minimal contact eventually). I agree completely it would be good for the M&J drama to take a back seat for a while.

In other news, I have now completed a playthrough of Acting Lessons. I'm even more impressed by DPC's skill as a craftsman, but I am considerably more worried about the long term prospects for Being a DIK. I'll see if I can organize my thoughts in the morning, lest I be unnecessarily bitchy when I'm tired.

I think sometimes you guys forget this is COLLEGE duh, on top of that is college with people fucking everywhere. Nothing is ever closed off (unless the dev wants it). People break up and felt like shit one day and then it's alright and get back together or find somebody else the next day all the time... cuz thats just how horny 20 years olds work? Their minds are chaotic like that.

I think Jill is the most hypocritical character in the game. The typical spoiled millionaire girl who likes to leave everyone with blue balls and use them for her vagaries. Her latest, playing with the MC to discover "new sensations".

Relation with Josi/Maya never will end well, due the personality of MC.

With Quinn most probably end in jail or expelled.

The others side chicks are just for fun.

The MILFS Bella, Jade and Cathy are good for sex, but not for a relationship.

So far, the best character is Sage, despite her little weakness for that moron of boyfriend. Hope the relationship grows up with her.

It would be strange if Josy and Maya events in next episode were completely removed for players who did not choose J&M

How many times does this need to be said that is not going to be the case they will still have a part to play in the story even if it's not on the romance route, Stop saying that they will be removed because that won't happen.

It seems you quoted my post out of context or misinterpreted it.

If you make decisions which permanently reject certain girls and only leave 1-2 romantic love interests, the game would soon become boring. The game needs a wide variety of girls and events to entertain for the length of an episode. Even when you not follow DIK or CHICK route, there are currently events with Josy, Maya, Quinn, Sage and Bella for all players.
It would be strange if Josy and Maya events in next episode were completely removed for players who did not choose J&M threesome since it would also reduce variety for those players which only could be compensated by adding scenes with new girls or some sidegirls. Heading for a monogamous relationship with only one LI (e.g. Jill) might result in a rather short and dull playthrough.

I think Jill is the most hypocritical character in the game. The typical spoiled millionaire girl who likes to leave everyone with blue balls and use them for her vagaries. Her latest, playing with the MC to discover "new sensations".

Honestly at a loss to understand how you could get that sense of Jill. Is she a bit spoiled? Yes, but she doesn't seem to be comfortable with it as we see in that scene when the MC's in bed with her where she says that her lifestyle "isn't happiness" and that she'd be "perfectly fine" without all her expensive possessions.

She seems like she's lived a sheltered, protected life and hasn't had much chance to get out and do things just for her, like her life has been planned out which is a common theme for people who come from rich, millionaire families. So if she is "blue balling", it's not in some deliberately manipulative way where she's "playing" with him, it's likely because she's uncertain, nervous, and most probably still a virgin.

Relation with Josi/Maya never will end well, due the personality of MC.

Again, not sure how you came to this conclusion because regardless of the route the MC takes, there isn't anything about the MC's personality that would suggest he'd be the cause of them potentially breaking up again.

With Quinn most probably end in jail or expelled.

Perhaps, but I could also see a scenario where her operation starts to fall apart due to her actions and she drags the MC down with her, which leads to a bit of a redemptive arc for Quinn where the MC can choose to help her set things right or let her do her own thing while he does his.

The others side chicks are just for fun.

The MILFS Bella, Jade and Cathy are good for sex, but not for a relationship.

No arguments here.

So far, the best character is Sage, despite her little weakness for that moron of boyfriend. Hope the relationship grows up with her.

For being no strings attached FWB, sure, but this relationship might be doomed to fail in the long run if either:

A) Sage can't get over her feelings for Chad and is so hurt by the whole thing that she doesn't let the MC get closer than FWB
B) Same as A but Sage eventually doesn't even want to be FWB anymore
C) Chad isn't gay, dumps his side-piece, wants to get back together with Sage, and she accepts because she still has feelings for him.

Nope it seems misleading posts are a thing in here now.

Don't forget about lots of alcohol and drugs.
While a game remembers decisions, a 20-year-old drunk and horny college girl at a party may easily ignore mc's previous decisions and just want to have fun and sex.

The drugs are optional so not lots, and with regards to the girls not if they are Li's they won't soon forget. But that's what the Hot's girls are for.

How could you think that way? I mean, we all know what she thought about everything she was experiencing with MC, and my concluission is that she's a bit spoiled but don't what to be a freeloader with her family's money, she's also naive and always have a lack of trust on all man because a lot of them approched her due to her family's possition and wealth.
So, if she left MC with blue balls haven't any intention at all, and she's having a crush on him especially because he seem unninterested and sincere, and she's having all that "new sensaitons" that you've described because she feels comfortable and secure.

If i don't get an ending with Bella (not a leah one) i'm gonna be very sad. The next best character is probably Sage if she can cut her relationship with Chad that would be great. I don't mean to offend anyone but other characters are very bland so far, but this game will have another 10 eps so i hope they can win me over by then

Would you prefer a game that ends (soon) or a game that goes on endlessly as long as the dev has more interesting / entertaining content?

I don't expect any endings. (Instead I would go for special reward scenes for milestones with LIs, e.g. having sex with Bella and/or Jill.) The first season covers a little bit more than 2 weeks, so it is possiblle that even after 10 seasons the game may still be in mc's first year at college and continue for more seasons like a popular TV series. And what ending can be a good ending for a 19-year-old guy?
As Derek said : "getting locked up this early in life? What for?"

Here's the thing there is going to be endings at some point or other and I think he will do it very similar to how he did AL and give you different endings with the girl you picked for the people that wish to get an ending with their favourite. Or you could be boring and not pursue any girl and end up getting an ending of being alone it sounds like that one may appeal more to you.

Highly doubtful, the entire reason there isn't a "No Friend" choice is so they can still be in the story.

Let's be real, Chad is 100% gay. So that relationship is absolutely going to end.
