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

[Holy Bacchus]

So what do you think about the flashback that will begin episode 6 ? (if there's one, obviously !)
At the end of episode 5, we are on Sunday evening...
So there's a big chance episode 6 will be about Rusty's notification to attend in front of the B&R council... So, I bet it could be an introduction telling us Cathy's past, and how she has been abused. Remember that :

What do you think about it ?

As much as I do think we'll get some more flashbacks, I don't see this as being one of them. So far the flashbacks we've had have revolved around the main story elements like the LIs and the DIKs, but since Cathy is a side character I don't see there being much need to delve too deeply into her past.

As for how the next episode will open up, I think having another flashback would be a bit of overkill. Could be that we'll see that Quinn/Mona scene from the preview image open things up and I could see that working quite well, then we jump to Monday and Rusty's meeting. Something like that might be better than another flashback.

 

[xsssssssss]

Unless we get resolution of bella’s Locked door, in which case there might be justification for another flashback, I’d prefer we have an episode without flashbacks.

maybe something about all the teachers, so it will involve also Bella's husband. we know taht Bella doesn't like Jade, but not the reason for example

 

[RonWeasleyJr]

Pretty sure, after the conversation with her in episode 5, the next flashback will be to Jill's date with Rusty and her getting assaulted by Vinny, explaining why Vinny isn't part of the DIKs anymore: he's in prison.

 

[Darkmetal]

Laurelin I appreciate you coming up with new things to talk about I don't think it'll be a Cathy flashback though as she isn't important enough (especially for those on the M&J path) and would be another sidetrack from the main story.

This game needs to pick up the pace a bit and I'd rather see certain arcs moving forward rather than another diversion.

Thus, what I would like to see open the episode (this more a wish than a prediction) is what was transpiring while MC was giving his speech at the DIK Mansion; i.e. it picks up from this:



and we see the call happening. This obviously won't be a flashback but a 3rd party view of events similar to the Jade/Steven picture throwing scene.

Unless we get resolution of bella’s Locked door, in which case there might be justification for another flashback, I’d prefer we have an episode without flashbacks.

I agree and I think there's a better chance of this happening in Ep.6 (possibly very the near end leading to a cliffhanger) than most people think. Why? Because the last line of both Jill and Bella's bio now refer to Bella's "privacy."

As we know, these bios change and evolve every chapter, it would be absolutely bizarre to have that line there and then completely ignore it and just put something new there at the end of Ep.6. Maybe not a full reveal, but pretty sure there'll be some "prying" and I'm optimistic that we'll be making headway with Bella's trauma/secret arc (at last).

I think Isabella isn't a fan of them because her husband won't stop trying to seduce her.

Not so fast Mr Rabbit!

You need to make the mayonnaise more compact before adding more oil to it

than she would hate him, not his wife

I expect that flashback will be in Ep6, no matter what we wish or do not.
From the flashback in Ep5 and from one picture in the menu, it turns out to me that we could also have a continuous storytelling development of DIK fraternity in flashbacks.
It should be relevant to the events of the present, so in the next look back we could see Rusty negotiating with the representatives of B&R about the new fraternity. So we would see our representatives in the faculty administrative body.

Another topic with relevance to the past is Vinny contact on the dealer versus the current dealer.

Man, what an adventure! I wasn't expecting something so brilliant like this, which probably is the game with most beautiful renders and animations I ever saw in Ren'py game. It's difficult to have a top 3 waifu for this, but Bella wins the 1st place. I guess I have something for married women... But, for real, she has that look of a shy, mean person, also a little bit of predator (?), but when you know her better, you can see the eyes of someone you have lost someone dear to her and was been trapped for so long in the same place, without realizing you have to move forward or you gonna have all these second thoughts in your life of not accepting someone new in your life, even if he's a college student.
Although a little different, the MC takes that risk with Josy and Maya, saying they could make it together if they wanted it. Funny how a major decision before that changes it all. Before that, I decided of accepting Tommy's joint and even choosing to be together with Josy and Maya, they reject that choice. If you refuse Tommy's joint, tho', they accepted that choice. Maybe because you follow a route where they are more CHICK side than DIK side? Maybe it's because of your choices on preview episodes? I dunno, but I like that moment cuz it gives you different approaches for the game story.
The MC father is also someone that gives me jealously since I never had some paternal in my life. The way he loves his son and the way he is reciprocated torn me a bit...
I ramble for too much, but I'm glad that I bump into this game. Even I'm not an American, it reminisces in so many ways American Pie, and at the same time his valor of how important his to not give up at the first obstacle that appears before you.
It makes me also wonder there are such good storytellers and animator artists in adult games. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for making this game!

I have just noticed that the two highest rated games(weighted rating) were first posted in the same month(February 2019) and one week apart.

Where do you find that list? (Sorry, noob question.)

Joking aside, I hope you enjoy the game. I worked my ass off to create this and boy this is expensive.

I need funding to complete this project.

If you can't afford to donate on Patreon, you can still show support by liking or reviewing the game.

Cheers

I think the character modelmodels looks very good

 

[RonWeasleyJr]

So...that's a big N O on $100 patreon backers requesting non-canon pairings in the monthly illustrations.


Gives me something to shoot for the next time one of the $100 backers drops out and there is an opening. Can't wait to do a series of images of Caleb nailing Maya!

Just for those who think Chad is gay...

Do you imagine Sage can't make the difference between guy panties and girl panties ????

Maybe they were Chad's and that's his secret. Maybe he likes to dress in drag and do shows at drag bars under the name "Charlene".

I know you have been waiting for it : forth episode


Jill: THE ANGEL she has completely different behavior from all the other characters, she carries on her strong morality in every situation, certainly in all of this she is facilitated by the fact of living a comfortable and worry-free life. for the MC it will not be easy proving himself worthy of her, a single wrong decision may be enough to completely lose her trust. rather than the social distance, the moral one will make the difference. I don't think there are other big obstacles between them

if the piano had been irreparably damaged by the joke to the Preps, would she have been able to forgive him? i don't know, i sweated cold for him

another potentially dangerous situation could be the need for her to get her hands dirty, to lie to defend someone, would she be able to?

the mistery about the mother's letter could only help their story

to have a successfull route to her, i think we have to give up so many adventures... Bella's one is the most dangerous.... i think it will be impossible to reach her at the first try

from a narrative point of view she is MC's soul mate, they could live a love story so similar to that of his parents, we hope without mourning ....

Wow, first time I read you. Amazing. I love your restrospective ! Very interesting.

I couldn't agree with you more.

DAMN DUDE !!!!

You two blow my mind right now.

i think MC knoks his mother name

Not so sure. I discover my mother's last name very lately.
But you're right that at some point, you're supposed to know it.

So, don't know. Maybe it's better he doesn't know, as a matter of history.
