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

[ename144]

As a side note, if it does pick up on the Sunday, I'd really like it if, for those on M&J path, we could go back to their dorm to show off the jacket and spend the time with them.

Fine by me! The more time we get to spend with the MC just hanging out with M&J (and the other girls too, once his relationship with them reaches that stage), the better.

Sage is almost there, and Jill could be too, depending on how quickly they plan their next date. I still think it will be a while before Bella's secrets are out, but there's no reason the MC couldn't spend more time with her even if they aren't a (non-exclusive) couple; it might help to flesh out what the two see in each other.

Really, I just think it would nice if we could give the dramatic plot twists a break and let us build up the stakes before the next crisis threatens to ruin it all. That was a big part of what made Maya's relationship work so well prior to Episode 4 (and Josy's, to a more limited extent). The non-stop string of emergencies since then has made it harder to feel invested in things, because the status quo is toppled almost as fast as it was established.

See and I worry that the pre Ep4 end was supposed to be our time to become invested. Now comes the Drama and the bullshit level is so high I honestly am not sure if I even care anymore. The more he writes in drama filled stuff the less I care about any of them. If I was the MC I would have checked out. Gone after KRJ or some other nice no drama/bs girl and been like screw all of you

It's possible it will be all drama from here on out, but I definitely hope not.

The problem is that before Episode 4 we get an incomplete picture of Maya, and an even more limited picture of Josy. Even through Episode 5 we've have insufficient time to fully bond with Jill, Sage is so obsessed with the utterly unexplained relationship with Chad that we've only just begun to connect with her, and Bella's relationship has barely started.

So while we could get invested in the characters, we couldn't become invested in the relationships because they didn't exist yet. This was so incomplete Episode 5 had to put in a scene clarifying just what the heck happened between the MC and M&J (and even that feels a bit forced in order to let the other girls play catch up).

So I'm definitely hoping for more downtime with the girls. And there is SOME hope of that. The official walkthrough talks about "Hangouts" as a new thing, implying the MC will get them with the other girls in the future, too.

That would certainly help. But what I'm really hoping for is a chance to hang out with a girl(s) in situations where hanging out with the girl isn't the entire point of the scene. That would be a chance to understand how she fits into the MCs life in general, and thus care more keeping her there when the drama comes calling again.

Yeah well the "Hangout" for Maya/Josy was like what 3 actions and a 3 hot spots that wasn't very much. Even with reading and doing everything I know I was done in like 2 minutes max.

I hope so too ename144 but after the cluster fuck that was Ep5 I'm not holding my breath.

#1 Can't do the Lily rooster thing, i get an error like stated in a previous post.

I had that problem with the first version of the walkthrough mod, but when I updated the mod it was fixed. You must get the Lily rooster to get the Lily scene.

 

[F22232425]

The game is absolutely perfect. The graphics are awesome, girls are hot, the main hero is not another 12-year-old-slim-as-f*ck boy. And the story is fine. Sex scenes for any mentally health person may desire. 5 stars, no sh*t.

I have started a french translation of the game since a month, so I was able to check all the lines since the beginning and I noticed something that we've all probably forgotten...
Everything started about Family.
Remember :

"Family."
"My dad once told me that a family is more than blood relations."
"Being related doesn't necessarily make you family."
"Family are the people who support you in your choices."
"Family will help you grow."
"Family are the ones who love you for you..."
"...whoever that may be."
"Even if you lose your family..."
"...or if your family loses you."
"Don't stop."
"Find new ones to love and somewhere else to call home."
[...]
[babbling about him and his father]
[...]
"Either way, I was happy back then. We didn't have much, we...erm..."
"...we had enough."
"We had each other."
"As for now?"
"Let me tell you what happened."

So, this game is maybe about the family you always have and the family you create by yourself.
Remember Acting lessons. Starting alone in a big house and finish by having a new "family" of friends.

I can almost bet that the final will be a picture containing almost all the protagonists (YES, even Quinn... if she doesn't die before) and the MC in the middle, smiling like a jerk, who will become like a second family for him.

What do you think ?

Minus anyone you piss off too much, and (though I'll get flamed for saying it), Chekhov's gun tells us that Bella probably isn't going to make it.

That's a GREAT idea !!

 

[Skode]

That phone call is written in a way that you can't be sure if he's talking to a man or a woman.

Ive always just assumed it was a guy hes secretely been calling and cheating on Sage with and pretty confident it will turn out to be the original roommate of the MC who the jocks disowned and beat up (likely they found out his sexuality and turned on him for not being an alpha male like they all are supposed to be. I especially believed my theory was correct when Chad was sent blackmailing photos (which were never shown on screen) which triggered him enough to not only attack the MC but also being I tears of emotion over them (so I thought yeah someone snapped photos of him likely being pleasured by the other dude). It also explains why hes just not a into banging Sage as any other sane and horny man his age would... hes in the closet.

 

[4FXXK5AGE]

I luv your game so much, cant wait for the next eps.

Troll posts for the sake of getting a reaction aren't allowed FYI.

*smirks*

Wasn't a troll post.

I genuinely believe that when we finally get a flashback to Jill and Rusty's date, we'll find out that Jill was "molested" in some way.

Either a drunken Rusty pushed her to have sex when she was reluctant to do so, or possibly some of the other DIKs (most likely Vinny) tried to have some 'fun' with her.

Obviously ! Even if I wouldn't be as certain about Bella as you are.

For some reasons, I'm pretty sure that the girls in the report at the end of each episode (Sage, Josy, Maya, Bella and Jill) are actually the major five choices we'll have to made at the end of the game. Which one to choose.

I will add that there is no doubt in my mind, since the doubt has been pronounced by them, that the "ménage à trois" (threesome relations) will not work and that one of them ( Josy ? Maya ? MC ? ) will eventually give in.
So as Josy implied in our last conversation:
"By choosing one, I lose the other one"

Unlikely. Rusty's not that kind of person. And Jill seems to have been more disappointed in Rusty's behavior than being "molested"...

What does Chekhov's gun have to do with Bella? What's there waiting to be used?

That's the most likely theory, yes. We know Chad was in MC's room that day and it's whom Troy was going to talk to. If they aren't both gay lovers what was the point of that visit?

What do you think ?

Yes, it would be the best end... However, it will be very difficult to stay friend with every girl...
Being with Sage means you are on the DIck path (even if many of the RPSage are given with neutral attitude, you must have dtype>0 on several occasions), that will upset Josy, Maya, Jill and Bella. There is also a competition between Sage and Quinn to take the HOTs leadership.
On the other side, even if we expect some happy threesome, it may be even harder.
The relations between Bella and Jill are not clear... It seams an older sister-younger sister-like relation between them (Bella would have replaced Jill dead older sister) but there is something more :

Spoiler: What happened ?

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Who knows , for instance, if Jill has not something to do with Bella's husband departure ? And even if not, since Bella and Jill are on the same path, I'm afaid of the scene (and I'm sure it will happen) when one of the two will surprise the other during a love/sex scene with MC... It should be explosive !
And for Josy/Maya, it's also hard to foresee their reactions. With love growing up between them three, jealousy may grow up too :
- between the girls and MC (if he continues to date other girls, for instance) ==> MC is rejected
- between Josy and Maya (according to MC's choices, to stay with Josy for instance in ep.5 instead of Maya) ==> the throuple explodes (a couple and one of the girls alone, or more probably everyone alone !!). We have to take into account too the relation with Derek (with regard to Maya) and Tommy (with regard to Josy).
We know DPC has some insane preference for drama () and we can bet for sure that it will be some king of dramatic scenes !
So why not an "all friends" ending (some kind of "they lived happy and had a lot of children" ), and I pray for it, but I don't believe it...

 

[felicemastronzo]

the mystery about Chad's betrayal is the upset face he makes after receiving the blackmail, he is really upset, almost to tears, a reaction that cannot be explained with a simple photo of him and his lover


there is something more below, could she be a teacher?

 

[Siphon]

I don’t think it’s that he can’t be sexual with Sage, it’s that he doesn’t want to. So he lies about impotence from steroids and kisses her on the forehead before evading her questions and anger.

But that begs the question of why the fuck is he with Sage if he can be sexual but just doesn't like her. Sure there's the 'gay' potential but I'm just not seeing it.

it does not seem impossible to me that MC closes the story on good terms with all of them (including Quinn maybe), but not with a harem style ending, I also believe little in a Josy + Maya ending
