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

[ename144]

Well, DPC warned at the start that this game might not be for people going through a tough time, so I reckon we're going to some serious drama eventually, but not anywhere near the level of AL. Right now, I'd say we've had the 1st act of a 3 act structure:

• Act I - Setup: Exposition, Inciting Incident, Plot Point One
• Act II - Confrontation: Rising Action, Midpoint, Plot Point Two
• Act III - Resolution: Pre Climax, Climax, Denouement.

As for your other questions, we kind of already know the answers to a couple of them. 1 & 2 are that it's used to finance the HOTs and Sage knows this, 6 is very likely to be for Maya to forget about Josy and stop being gay because her Dad is a small-minded bigot, and 7 is probably interpreted by them as a serious but secret relationship as I can't see them being all that OK with an open relationship.

That's why I chose those questions. We have lots of implied answers, but those answers seem incomplete or conflicting so I'd like to know the whole story. Take number 7.

On the one hand, the game makes a big deal about needing to make a choice, having Maya/Josy worry about the risk (to the point they will reject a DIK-ish MC), and all the talk about following their hearts. Sounds serious.

On the other hand, the Episode wrap up will explicitly say the MC isn't sure what the three of them are, since he's still out there dating. Sounds casual.

Combined, it's unclear to me both what the characters expect of the relationship, and what DPC thinks the relationship is being presented as. I'm hoping we get a better understanding of it when the story continues.

Doing a replay tonight, am I the only one who thinks the MC's father will die based on the opening narration about family?

Definitely not.

Would be like DPC to throw in some tragedy to make us suffer.

No, it's likely just a metaphor about how friends can become family, especially when you go through some serious shit together.

Yeah but so far, by my standard, nothing has been "serious shit".

Imagine DPC lurking and reading this thread

Bet he checks it but trying to keep up with all of us would be a monumental task. I feel sorry for the mod's when we get on these speculation kicks.

Thanks for the replies. What I’m saying is I do have CHICK status though only at 6. I can probably get that to 10 with my back up save.

I thought major choices only impacted how many points you could have in the path. For example all Major DIK choices allow a 25 DIK affinity meanwhile it would limit you to 20 CHICK

I also tried it both ways but for some reason, the affinity still stays as 'DIK' even with massive CHICK. To get the Jill's shower scene, you can change the affinity in the console "SHIFT + O" at the end of the tennis game

affinity = u'CHICK'

I present to you, a real-life Melanie doppelgänger - pretty close, wouldn't you say?





For reference:



For those that are curious, her name is Elise LeGrow - she's a musician (Jazz singer).

Let me throw in something extra for the "debate" unless it was resolved and I missed it.

Who sent the pictures to Chad in the first place?

That's not resolved as of yet … plenty of suspects tho but we still need the actual culprit of that to show his or her face

Yeah most people made that Harley quinn reference when they seen lily

I feel that it's the same person. Someone trying to cause chaos all over. Pitch everyone against each other OR someone who really hated the DIKs and frame them for everything.

Now that would be amazing if it was the nerds they get picked on by the jocks and have a not so amazing relation with the diks either.... And it would give them much needed story development

That is an excellent question, because we have so little information it's hard to speculate meaningfully. We don't even know for certain what Chad's pictures showed.

I mean, yeah, it's a good look but are you really telling me you don't think Lily was based on Amy Smart?
