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

[lordfridge9]

If the Maya/Josy choice to start a thruple backfires and you lose it all whereas the friendship route opens up choosing one or the other individually I would actually quite like that. Sure, it would piss some people off but it would at least be unique. Make the relationship noteworthy in a sea of western VN "Gotta catch 'em all" games.

Someone recently had a discussion on what a harem really is (for a different game). And I kinda understood and agreed. In a poly relationship, all parties are infatuated with each other (just like what we have here), while a harem is more of a concetrated thing towards one person (so in here, all 5 LI's would be in love with you and just you, agreeing to share you because of mutual friendship or understanding of feelings, without feeling anything themselves for the other members). I believe there are so many harem games here now that the distinction thing I explained has just become "MC has to have everyone, regardless of other members relationships to each other

 

[lordfridge9]

Well, I want the "everything" so I don't much care if it is forced or not. I still favour Maya more than Josy, but I'd rather have both than just one of them.

I also wish for "everything", granted that everything is all 5 LI's

Sadly that won't happen here. Some hearts are going to have to get broken.

Don't mind him. He got lost in the rabbit holes too many times.

I'm like Alice, I love to jump into, almost, anything

That is indeed Scary Movie, but it's not the woman from Anger Management. AM's primaries were Shawnee Smith (his ex-wife in the show) and Selma Blair (his FWB/partner) initially, I forget who replaced her. The woman in the film was Anna Faris (Chris Pratt's ex-wife), who has not appeared in Anger Management.

I do get a slight grin when I imagine Riona plastered to the ceiling like that, though.

Hm, I distinctly remembered Noureen DeWolf in the scene. Could be that the movie I meant was The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It and that it spoofed the Scary Movie scene.

Hey, on the regards of favorite girls, my favorite is probably Jill (i really can't help it, she's too damn cute), but them i'd go for Riona, Quinn and Sage.

I won't discuss Bella anymore, i think i put the poor woman on too much grief on my mind alone. But i do agree with the theory of her and Jill hooking up while drunk or 'in the right mood' and at the same it doesn't feel like it's going to be it. Mostly because there's already two main girls that 'hooked' up and have a romantic and/or sexual thing that happened or is happening with them. I don't see DPC recycling plot (it's not recycling much, but i didn't find a better word).

 

[Kodek]

Another thing, i always feel sorry for Josy. She got the shortest end of the stick of all main girls in the game. It's hard choose her over anyother. Now she's tagging along with Maya more or less, making her lose even more individuallity.

This discussion was strictly about side girls or HOT's. So no LI's as we all know that any man or woman that doesn't submit to the Will of Jill shall be tried for heresy and treason against their people!

Sure thing, it's still easy thought. Riona and Quinn.

But i do have a especial place in my heart for Arieth because she makes me fucking laugh every time she appears on screen.

I believe it's because she has always been "guest starring" in Ep 1-3, then promoted to "main cast" in Ep 4 onwards. Her story will see developments, with her dad bringing her stuff over to start with, and let's not forget @TommyTheDestroyed. Oh there will be plenty of dramas.

 

[NOVASSR]

Im sure that somebody already come up with this one but, someone think that Sage and Quinn might be related? The only reason to think that is that they have the same eye's color and i'm pretty sure that is not the first time that Quinn is doing things that Sage wouldn't approve and she keeps trusting in her

 

[cakmabirol59]

thx

 

[NOVASSR]

Quinn refers to Sage’s parents as “your” parents when slightly taunting her at the end of Ep4 about how Sage could make money by going to her parents for the sorority.

Even if they were hiding being sisters for some unknown reason it Seems unlikely she would say “your parents” in a private conversation if they were sisters.

Cousins then, or at least an history before the HOTs i think

 

[italianstallionxxx]

wanted to download the patch and damn that mediafile link is slow, thank you for uploading it!

 

[FlipFish]

I doubt they're related, they've just been part of the same sorority for a while and as such are close enough to know each other's personal lives. Don't know where PinkCake is drawing inspiration from, but from my experience in college people in fraternities/sororities tend to get pretty close over the course of four years. The whole concept of brotherhood and sisterhood is strong in some of them.

Aaaannnd we're back from the PS5 reveal show.

You must be registered to see the links

. Possibly some other programs too like Blender, Marvelous Designer, and Photoshop to customise certain aspects and to enhance the renders, but Daz is the main one for making them.

Thanks

Riona is my one and only side girl. Something about her just makes me want to help and protect her.

Not my only side girl, but your second sentence I'm all about. I think she's gotten more and more interesting as a character over the last couple of episodes.

One of the reasons I like the game so much is that I actually like a lot of the side characters, instead of them just feeling like filler. There are only a few girls I don't find interesting on at least SOME level (*cough* Elena *cough*).

Jill is my least favorite LI.

If I were looking for someone to date IRL, Jill is certainly the most stable and has the least drama. As a character in a work of fiction, I'd be more interested if she was a little more of a mess. Sage, Josy and Maya all have more flaws and more drama, but I get where they are coming from and that makes them dynamic and interesting to me. Bella is harder to understand, but that's her role in the story: you want to solve the mystery if nothing else. Jill is a perfectly nice, beautiful girl... which, in fiction, makes her rather boring.

Hey, Jill is the canon way after all.

 

[ename144]

One of the social links in Persona 4 specifically requires you reject the girl at first because the relationship isn't healthy. She instead grows into a better person as your friend and a more stable relationship starts. I've said it before that I'd have a lot of respect for DPC if he subverted the normal VN trope of being able to just "pick" these absurd relationships like harems or incest (or incest harems) and have them always work out flawlessly because the girls passively just follow whatever the MC says. Instead write about how difficult it would actually be for a bunch of 19 year olds to form a stable poly-amorous relationship.

If the Maya/Josy choice to start a thruple backfires and you lose it all whereas the friendship route opens up choosing one or the other individually I would actually quite like that. Sure, it would piss some people off but it would at least be unique. Make the relationship noteworthy in a sea of western VN "Gotta catch 'em all" games.

I might respect that idea if it were well implemented, but I really wouldn't like it. I'd feel pretty sad if the only way to live happily ever after with Maya or Josy was to break them up.

At that point, a full 60% of the game's LIs a would be problematic for me, unless it can salvage Bella as a lover (rather than a friend) after her secrets are revealed.

We should now put an end to this and start a new discussion. A better one! A lighter one! Who's the best side girl or HOT?

Ashley is my favorite of the side girls, but she's quasi-taken. So probably Camila or Riona. We haven't seen a lot of them, but they're both interesting and have a good rapport with the MC. They're easy on the eyes, too, but that's not unusual in this game!

 

[Foreigner10]

Quinn and Melanie. However, Melanie dropped a bit because of the end of EP5. Need to find out what she's up to

Melanie is fucking Chad, it's his sidegirl.
