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

[Tserriednich'sNen]

Personally? The mystery and depth of character. I don’t know yet if she’s the kinda woman I’d want to be with but I sure as shit want to find out. Her infidelity is an issue... the circumstances of her marriage will cement my opinion but I want to know the why.


She’s strong, independent and intelligent. Outwardly stable unlike a lot of the girls. You have to earn her affections rather than just choosing them like other characters. That scene in the shower was 5 times sexier in my opinion than anything MC does with Sage or Quinn. She just oozes sex with more than just her looks.

I’m attracted to the Bella character because she’s complicated and conflicted about her feelings because she’s a genuinely good person. Despite this the bits of sexuality that creep through when she loses control are so intense I wanna see the full unbridled thing.

Plus she’s more than just a sexual thing. Scenes like the one where your sitting there, MC studying whilst she’s reading... the upcoming cooking lessons, the caring nature with Jill. She’s prime wifey material. Give me more glancing at her legs when she’s curled up with book instead of a room full of HOTs in their underwear watching a bad film.

shes the perfect package. Gorgeous, has intense sexual chemistry. She’s smart, caring but strong willed and consistent... just a mature woman I’d see an actual future with.

Well said plus you forgot to add that despite her Ice Queen persona/reputation at school she can be just as nice and sweet as someone like Jill like when she comforts MC if you choose to stay with her, or taking him to her place to sober up when she could have just left him there drunk on the sidewalk to get in whatever trouble could have gotten in.

Or how she tries to push him to date Jill because she believes he's good enough for her despite her own feelings for him. Had she been more selfish she wouldn't want MC to be around Jill so much and instead would try to have him for herself. Another good example of this is when she texts Jill to let her know he was in the library which lead to that flirting scene with Jill.

You could boil the plot of almost every movie down to "ifs" and "buts" because they're invariably about a bunch of random occurrences that inexplicably line up perfectly for the story. So many plots are all about characters being in the right, or wrong, place and the right or wrong times and getting swept up in the story, whether they like it or not.

Sure, Riona might have just been doing it on the spur of the moment and she says that's what it is, but can we be sure she's telling the truth? At the start of the episode Quinn may have been pointing at the MC as her "2nd move" on her metaphorical chess board, so this would surely help with that as, if found out, Riona could say the MC put her up to it and since people saw them looking quite friendly with each other after the Cluck was sent out, it doesn't look good for the MC.

Yes, Riona couldn't have known the MC would show up outside the library after the Cluck was sent out, or that he would speak to her, but when he did she probably saw an opportunity to help Quinn's 2nd move by making her own move and whether you kiss her or not, both outcomes could still potentially be spun against the MC. Hence, a totally random moment full of "ifs" and "buts" that may be more important than it seems.

I think you're overthinking the entire situation. Things don't always have to show more meaning than intended. People make out at parties, simple as that.

I have to say that i am surprised how little percentage belong to Bella, the least of them all. I guess it is because she is not a student and the MC has more contact with other students than with the librarian, hopefully in the future she gets more space in the game.

we need more content specially with Bella

I do hope we get more Bella from now on

The conundrum with Bella is that, as Tserriednich'sNen has said, aside from her own issues, while her heart may desire the MC, her head still wants the MC for Jill rather for herself. This puts a double-lock on how fast MC's relationship with her can progress. Further, if we break Jill's heart in order to be with Bella (by, say, just dating Jill to spite Tybalt) - it'll likely backfire and instead cause Bella to hate us too. It'll be interesting to see how this dynamic is resolved.

Having said that, I think we will have a big breakthrough in the Bella and Jill story arc due to this preview render.


Unlike many others, I do not think this flashback will come at the beginning of Ep.5 ala the M&J one that began Ep.4 (that will be the DIK founding flashback methinks.) My theory is that this will be a Zoey-style flashback with the role reversed. This time it will be Bella narrating some of her history to the MC in a sit-down. The significance of the difference is that it will not be an info dump just to the player but not known/seen by the MC, this will be (a) info that the MC will be privy to and can act upon, and (b) the relationship must have progressed sufficiently for MC to be trusted with it.

Also, despite it being narrated by Bella, I think that there's a 50:50 chance it will be as much about her telling us about Jill as it is about herself. This, methinks, will be about how Bella came to be friends with Jill's sister and, specifically, how she died being (a) linked directly to the closing down/disbandment of the Sorority seen in the pic (b) how it badly affected Jill, and (c) how Bella and Jill's relationship was cemented by it.

My hypothesis anyway...not long now before we see what's what.

The animations in this game should be set as standard minimum for every game posted here.

Just truly amazing!

All the encouraging the MC and Jill is a good example of what I was saying.

She handled a potential love triangle and her own confusion about the situation between her, the MC and Jill by attempting to step aside.

She thought it through and did what her morals thought was best... sure it didn’t last long and she buckled In the pool but even after that she reaffirmed it was best her and MC didn’t do anything and he pursue Jill.

don’t get me wrong we’re still barrelling towards a drama explosion but at least the way she’s handling the situation is sensible.

There will be drama, Bella’s husband or Jill standing between her and MC but her behaviour has always been above board and honest. Unlike Maya/Josy...

I think you're overthinking the entire situation. Things don't always have to show more meaning than intended. People make out at parties, simple as that.

And yet this is potentially the first time it's happened to him, with someone who's very close to Quinn, and someone who's in the vicinity of where the laptop that sent out that picture of Cathy was found.

There's honestly too many coincidences and hints in this direction for it to turn out not to be her, or at least for her to have had a hand in it.

Or maybe it's linked to the Bella/Cathy preview pic. Maybe Cathy asks Bella why she doesn't like Jade and this is a flashback that explains their history for us to see, but not the MC.

Why would Cathy ask Bella why she doesn't like Jade? When it's possible she herself doesn't even know that. Look at the preview again and read their faces, her trip to Bella's was obviously about the nude photo scandal.

Wait what preview? Last news i saw from N7 didn't had any preview pictures.

True, but we had that lunch with the 3 of them where Bella abruptly left because of Jade, so I'd be surprised if Cathy didn't know there was some bad blood there. Also, the preview was just one image, we don't know where that conversation will go. Perhaps Cathy talks about the councillor group having to deal with what happened and Jade's name gets brought up and Bella bristles at the mention of her name or makes a snide remark prompting Cathy to ask why they don't get along.

It's more than likely Cathy is aware of an issue between them even though we haven't heard from that side but I'd imagine Jade would have at least told her at some point.

Maybe but I don't know why she would bring that up when she has more significant things to worry about and Bella doesn't exactly seem to want to talk about it even with MC

 

[playboydx]

If you stay on Chik route, and start dating/relationship with Josy & Maya, is it possible to get the Jade scene?

 

[Le Pew]

It's more than likely Cathy is aware of an issue between them even though we haven't heard from that side but I'd imagine Jade would have at least told her at some point.

Then it must have happened before Jade understood that Cathy was sleeping with Stephen. I'm guessing that without being colder towards Cathy, Jade must not be very interested in sharing secrets anymore.

Like you said it wouldn't this leaked photo is of the main concern right now for Cathy and nothing else Jade and Bella's issue is the least of her concerns

If you stay on Chik route, and start dating/relationship with Josy & Maya, is it possible to get the Jade scene?

No, you'd have to be only friends with them to get Jade.

 

[Le Pew]

Maybe but I don't know why she would bring that up when she has more significant things to worry about and Bella doesn't exactly seem to want to talk about it even with MC

Well this is pure speculation, but events can happen roughly like this:
- Off story / not told
* Jade has become somewhat more distant with Cathy, who feels she can't confide in her anymore
* When the cluck event happens, she need to talk to someone but neither Jade nor Stephen are possible candidates
* We've seen that Cathy and Bella have off-class interactions as they eat together
- Possible course of events
* Jade goes to Bella's to discuss the cluck issue and asks for possible advice
* Bella has a past history with bullying, either hers or Jill's. She doesn't need to tell Cathy the exact details, but we see it in the reminiscence.
* The events take place when Bella herself had entered or was already in the university

And we have the link with the preview image.

Another possibility would be Bella telling MC but it would make no sense if he wasn't living at her house, they wouldn't have a close relationship enough. I believe that this event has to be told whatever route is followed.

Really

 

[shaf3i]

why in this game in the trailer the dev said if I have problems in my life dont play the game?

Bella and Cathy have known each other longer so there's probably more trust there and it's also fairly clear that she doesn't let people in that easily so she's obviously not going to tell some young student all about herself after only knowing him for a couple of weeks.

Also, as I said, the conversation can easily be steered in other directions. All that has to happen is for Jade's name to get brought up, likely in the context of the school councillor group Cathy is part of, and for Bella to react negatively to her name being mentioned. Cathy could then simply say, "What's the deal between you and Jade?", and voila, we get Bella telling Cathy why they don't get along.

The conversation doesn't have to be all about the picture leak as most conversations people have don't generally centre on just one topic. You could be talking to someone who recently lost their Dad but then start talking about their vacation plans, so it's not impossible these two previews could be linked.

First of all; this is some sophisticated thread -in correlation with/for a porn game. Kudos to you.

I have some things that needs justification, though. How do you guys fall for Bella? I don't mean *just* personal taste. What makes you like her?

Bella is one of the 5 main love interests.
mc is 18, Bella is 35, so she is almost twice his age. She's helping mc when he needs some clothing or when he's drunk.
For me she is more a (motherly) friend than a possible date or longtime love interest. My mc goes more for the girls of his age (Maya, Josy). Jill and Sage are a couple years older than mc, but Bella is 17 years older.
