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

[murphy88]

Considering you can't get Cathy either on a M&J path I think it's an intentional opt out.

The thing is you can act the exact same towards M&J and they reject you based on things they can't possibly know. They can't know if you got Quinn's number and payed for sex, smoked in the rooftop... And they still reject you based on those things.

That's the problem, not everyone has to share your playstyle. And consdiering how many people here complain about not being able to get the Jill scene because they have CHICK status but DIK affinity it seems that a lot of people doesn't . But the game has to make sense for any playstyle. I'm all for decisions that matter, but in a way that makes sense. A DIK MC blocked from the M&J path? Absolutely. You can block the decision of being more than friends out so a DIK MC can't choose it, or have a DIK MC do something that M&J know and don't like, so they reject you... Anything. Right now as it's written it doesn't make any sense.

They don't reject you for those things, they reject you because you haven't gotten enough RP with them, on the way dik conversations change, for example, flirting as dik usually leads to a sordid pyropo, while choosing the same as a chick makes you say a sweet compliment, as a chick that option makes you win RP and as dik makes you lose it and you have to choose the other option (you don't lose the PR but you don't win it either). Dpc is not a fool and has been able to justify why in the dik way some girls may come to reject you, and it is not magic or that they read the mind of the player's decisions, is that the MC interacts differently.

Depending on path, after beating up Troy, Chad, Dawe, the 3 Jocks, and Caleb I think I can handle lil milk mustache Tybalt.

I wouldn't mind an opportunity to really beat down Caleb, as in really KO him, a kick in the DIK maybe.

Until we learn Tybalt has a special attack where he throws money at the MC for massive damage, Final Fantasy style!

Don't overestimate the RP points. They are mostly used to gate some special bonus scenes in lewd scenes, e.g. Maya allowing mc to touch her pussy or Josy doing the Ass Job.

Did anyone had a change of heart about the girls after ep5? i sure have
so gentlemen your top 3 please, GO!

1. Jill
2. Sage
3. Josy (the best sex scene in the game so far, BRAVO!)

Josy stepped up for me in this episode, first with that beautiful emotional moment with her dad, HOT AF sex scene right after and also at hangout with Maya when she was suprised with Maya's stupid words that we should still keep things casual and have sex with other people. We can see that Josy doesn't want that, she wants MC and that's it

 

[xsssssssss]

1) Quinn
2) Sage
3) Bella

 

[DyreMezza]

Another great update...kudos to DrPincake keeping that high level over the whole game

 

[patachoucs]

1. Bella (by far)(that face when you tell her you totalled her car is amazing)
2. Sage (she's a sweet heart too)
3. Josy (she's cute and goddamn but her sexe scene is hot !!)

Sage is really hot in this episode! Interaction with Bella is really funny, like the pancake session.

How did you get that dialogue?

When you go back to Bella's place, say you'll drive Cathy back. Once you come back, when Bella asks how it went, pick "joke".

1/ Josy
2/ Jill
3/ Maya

Is there any chance to make a path where Maya and Jill would fall in love for each other, and let Josy and MC long together ?...

 

[omegaX]

HI just a quick question is anyone els having an issue with the story ? i read loads then its starts rolling back on itself then i have to skip it to move the story past that point? ive changed mouse thinking it could be the roll back wheel but its still happening

 

[The5thguy]

I bet my ass that the MC is related to Rusty means the MC`s mother was a Burgmeister ... in many aspects Rusty and the MC seem to be alike...

I mean personality doesn't mean their related but with that family thread technically he could be related to Jill too.

Not a lot changed for me with any of the girls, I've liked all of them throughout and still do. If anything, I feel a little more for Sage than I did before and feel a little bit better about M&J's feelings for the MC, but not much else is different.

Top 3 is tricky, but if push comes to shove I'd probably go with:

1. Maya & Josy (they're a package deal for me, can't have one without the other)
2. Sage
3. Jill

Sage has probably moved up to my 2nd because of that look during the guitar session (she's totally smitten with the MC now), whereas Jill has gone down because she might have a future with Rusty so she could at least find happiness elsewhere. Bella misses out because things are still very uncertain with, plus I feel like the MC will simply be a means to help her move past whatever's going on with her and there isn't a long-term future for them.

Basically, I'm basing a lot of my choices on who I see has the best chance at a future with the MC.

How did you get that dialogue?

You joke with her after taking Cathy home.

 

[jackofshadows]

I've the last 300 pages and haven't seen this theory, but what are peoples thought that MC will have to choose between M/J and Sage.

At some point MC will have to choose a single girl, I don't think that even M/J thing will drag through the entire game.

There’s a balancing act for me personally. I don’t like random routes being mutually exclusive and I don’t like WMV style “MC can have 7 dates and ejaculate 6 times in one evening” freedom to date everyone at once.

infact going forward I think the MC being absent when with other girls should be noticed. Maya brings it up on Rooster that Bella’s is “where he keeps disappearing to”. That is realism to me, characters existing and making decisions when not directly in the MC’a vicinity.

Yeah, free roam at the preps party was a total mess. I wish events on it would have been separated somehow.

I'm sure. In that playthrough I missed the event with the HOTs in the bath which requires Massive DIK status. I was there but couldn't join while doing mostly DIK actions the whole game.

So, the systems are interwined after all, most interesting. I don't care enough to find out how exactly is cap work because to me going the opposing directions is not appealing but knowing the fact is pretty cool. Description is still confusing though because penalty doesn't apply right away.

so gentlemen your top 3 please, GO!

1. Camila
2. Lily
3. Riona

Sage top if I have to choose among main girls.

 

[ChipLecsap]

Interesting interpretation, man. Affinity - something that reveals only under pressure, thus shows true nature of the main character. However, if we look at list of major dik choices, I'd say it's not the case:

Roughly only half of the choices are imply pressure and/or a super-tight time frame.

As for status, DPC introduces it like this:

Merely a current mood of MC, which sorta make sense given fast and crazy pacing of our storytelling although polar minor choices within the same playthrough might seem too inconsistent just for one person. Given this and confusing presentation at the end of each episode as you've provided

where status range slapped on top of affinity axis I assumed at first that when we're making a major choice, we're also reducing the maximum possible amount of DIK/CHICK points, which actually is not correct. However, official walkthrough's description confusing about this as well:

Penalty to the status. I wonder if that was original DPC's intention but during the implementation he abandoned the idea or it was the other way around.

eh, pointless response, while i was writing it, others responded and explained to you i see

 

[Darkdevil66]

Still completely confused by this scene.

If we assume Melanie means to call Chad, what does she expect to happen? They didn't take a picture, so all she could tell him is that the MC openly kissed Sage. Isn't that what Chad feared was going on back when he first clashed with the MC back in Episode 1? This might be confirmation of his fears, but why does Melanie think this will make Chad less determined to stick with Sage?

Riona thought Chad attacked the MC over Sage, which is a pretty reasonable guess for anyone who doesn't know about the envelopes. Unless Melanie and Sarah do know about the envelopes, then surely they would likewise assume Chad is already willing to fight the MC over Sage. Meaning he would fight to 'defend' the relationship - practically the opposite of breaking up with her. So why do they think hearing she kissed the MC would reverse Chad's response?

Frankly, even if Melanie and Sarah do know about the envelopes I'm not sure how watching the MC kiss Sage would help break up Chad and Sage. Chad's envelope obviously had evidence of some secret Chad wanted to keep hidden; that seems like a much better tool to force a breakup than hearsay about something Chad already suspects.

For the life of me I just cannot see any way to make sense of their actions, unless they really are just crazy chicks who like to stir up shit and feel very slightly guilty about making Sage feel bad.

I just hope that things with all LIs can last as long as possible. I know that there are LIs that can technically be cut off already, but I'd rather get as much content with each of them before having to make any definitive choice. If it comes down to the last couple of episodes to choose, fine, but if this game does indeed go for 16 or 20 episodes and I'm down to just 1 or 2 LIs after ep 8 or 9, then it's not so fun for me anymore.

A choice will come eventually, but I'd like to have as much cake as possible and eat it too before then.
