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

[Tarkash]

True, but I'm just hoping that you don't necessarily have to be her lover and focus all of your attention on her to fix all of her problems though (in my main playthrough, I'd like to see more of an happy ending with Jill, who among the LI has the slowest progression so far, really requires a lot of patience, especially with the 3-4 months between updates), as I have a feeling that an harem ending with Bella and Jill seems highly unlikely. I really don't want to be in a situation where you have to kill Bella if you want to end up with Jill (or something like that) or vice versa, and an ending similar to the School Days anime would be too cruel x)

Kill her, I doubt uh... ok. after acting lessons... let me say I HOPE not. But dedicating yourself to her and only her, that is a given with this character.
Bella is a grown-up woman. And certainly not the type accepting any mistresses as far as I understand her.
So kiss any other lady goodbye, if you want to go for her.
PLUS: I'm expecting some serious Dramabullshit with Bella.
Pinkypie wouldn't have placed that foreshadowing line in the library "if only I had known back then blabla".
So better to expect the worst, than stumbling into the blender with pink shades on, my dear.

I think then DPC should seek asylum in some South American country.
But don't worry, no one will die.

Not even Tommy?

Quinn, if we don't help her when the time comes, i'm sure...

 

[Ecchi-Senpai]

Oh boy please save me from darkness. I don't want to kill one of my ladies.
The game already is very emotional and nothing bad has even happened yet.

 

[Karl Franz 77]

Not even Tommy?

We will kick his ass, it's enough to me.

Please tell me why you're sure about this. I want to believe you.

I've always though that if someone were to die it would be Arieth. There's something wrong with her imo. In episode 3 she wanted to have a serious conversation with Dawe. In episode 4 we though it could have been because of crabs. Now on episode 5 we know she doesn't know about the crabs, so the question is open again. What did she want to talk about? Cheating? I don't think so, considering she is still at it.

My best guess:
Pregnancy roulette, Arieth style.
Got preggy, now trying to puzzle out who of the 100 boys did it.

Well, don't look at me...

As long as it doesn't bark...

It could be pregnancy, but I don't know why I don't think it is.

I don’t believe he will pull the same move a second time, and the game should have a fun tone as well.
Of course there will be drama, but I don't think it will be so extreme this time.

I hope so, but the warning at the beginning still makes me very worried.

I don't know if someone has already talked about it or if some people have a long discussion about it but I would like to know what you think about the girl that Chad is seeing. At the end of episode 5 if you kiss Sage, we can see a discussion between Sarah and Melanie who talks about Chad and the possibility that he separates from Sage and the fact that Sarah will support her if something should happen, I wondered if Melanie was the girl in question, but when we go to the gym to spy on Chad, we can clearly see Melanie on a treadmill and at the same time Chad is on the phone with the girl.
I'm a bit confused about this and I don't see why they had this discussion at the end of episode 5
Any thoughts ?

So, I really think Chad is gay and the Mel/Sarah is DPC trying to confuse us. I think they know, don't know how, or any details but none of them is the affair. They knew and if the truth comes out sage will be pissed. So they agreed to cover for each other. It's perfect for plot, the tri-alphas are homophobic and this will create tension between them. Maybe even bullying. We will see chad as misunderstood and feel sympathy for him. I'm all in for that, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, this ending kills me. I really like Bella. She may seem tough and unapproachable, but when you get to know her, you quickly realize that she's a very great person with a beautiful soul. I finally want to know what's going on and how I can help her.

I'm on my 4th playthrough today and I was trying to pay extra attention to the Bella components, and this is my current suspicion as to what's kinda going on.

I'm guessing Bella and her Husband James were living together and about 3+ years ago James was either watching their child at home and the kid fell in the pool and drowned, or James was driving and got in some sort of car accident that killed their child. I think Bella initially blamed James for the death and shut him out. This is supported at least potentially by the fact that on Bella's book shelves she has a small assortment of children's books like the three little pigs, and a goofy book (there's a few others too). The locked door I believe is her son/daughter's room.

Bella in the pool told MC that she forgave James and wonders if he'll come home, or if what she's doing with MC is adultery and if she should just move on. Jill I'm guessing may have gotten pregnant as a teen and either had it terminated, or lost it. The pamphlet on Jill's dresser is about some sort of support group (or something similar), and i'm guessing that's where Jill and Bella met and are so close. I'm less sure about my conjecture about Jill, but her questions on the date about which date for sex and such might have been because she might have either had sex too young, or been raped potentially? This would make sense why she leans on the fact that her money doesn't bring happiness. I worry a bit about Rusty being a bit rolled up into this, since she questions MC about his thoughts on him.

Again this is all just speculation, but I think there might be some decent clues around this.

(Edit) Upon watching the rest of the date scene with Jill, perhaps instead of her losing a baby or something like that, she was in a support group because she lost her older sister, and Bella now is kind of filling that void.

My only beef with Chad being gay and "misunderstood" is it will lead to some level of a cop out for him and Sage.

DPC has written relatively nuanced characters but he keeps giving them the easy way out. He's building up drama, fanning the flames but can't end the story now so they go nowhere. Complicated, arguably realistic, characters getting deus ex machina'd up the arse so they see no consequences for their actions so the plot can move along without being burdened by realistic reactions. Sitcoms do this all the time. The Josy/Maya love triangle was solved with 30 seconds of "I cheated... but it's all gravy... wanna start a threesome/be friends?". No cheating is ever addressed. Nobody ever calls anyone on the MC fucking every girl he's ever been in extended contact with.

Sage is cheating on a guy she's been with for years and apparently has deep enough feelings for to not just end it despite his infidelity. Chad has been distant and cold with her for a while... if not their entire relationship, based on the flashback... he's also violent and confrontational with not just Sage but anyone he ever meets. Him being gay will inevitably lead to the story just blowing past all their existing character flaws. Sage wont be called out on cheating for so long since the relationship was a sham (unbeknownst to her so it was still cheating). Chad wont be called out on being distant and a shitty boyfriend since he was gay so... nah it's fine he treated her like shit and drove an intelligent and empathetic girl to stalk him with binoculars.

Him being gay makes for easy writing, DPC wont have to justify dick all he's written so far and basically can clean slate Sage, Chad and the MC's relationships via the whole "but I'm gay" angle... But that's a cop out, Sage should be called out for the cheating. Chad should be called out for the being a douche. Chad being gay will follow the well established trope

countless TV shows of the "sympathetic adulterer". It's a cop out and they need to be called on it.

Which state does BADIK setting in? my best guess is New York.

I don't know how the developer intends to go with this and I doubt he'll tell reveal it for a few more chapters, but while it may seem like a cop-out to you it is something that happens. My uncle was married to a woman when I was two, and had always been popular with the girls in school from what I heard, but it turned out he was gay and now many years later he's happily married to a man so it does happen that way. I doubt the developer is going to make things that easy, people think he's giving easy outs but we're far too early in the story for that to be the case. All the relationships are in for some twists and turns before the game is over.

As for the Maya/Josie thing I actually thought the MC was a bit whiny about the whole thing throughout episode 4 and was glad the resolution didn't get drug out a lot longer. While Maya kept it a secret Josie told him she was in a relationship and as a player you had the option to tell Maya about Josie before having sex with her (or not if you chose to leave after dinner).

My bet is on California, USC-like university. Being somewhat near the coast, surf... And that would make MC's ex being not that far away.

 

[AvatarStormBringer]

She could had mine any time she wanted, but i am a 42 years old man out of the market for a while. Tremolo can have any pussy he want, so he doesn't need to take shit from anyone in that matter.

Tremolo is an orphan who had to call her mom .... he is a pussy servant too


p.s.I was convinced that I was the oldest here.
thanks, (matter of months)

We're just a bunch of old hentai ojisans (I'm 41, three cheers to Gen X!). (I expected a younger demographic in here, but I'm now surprised with the uprising of the females and old ones)

You can ask but I'm not going to answer. Anyway back to the game discussion.....

Yeah we need more meaningful interactions with the side girls. I would love something other than a sex scene. The little talks we have had with Riona have made me want to learn more about them.

Since he started with Riona he should continue with it. And it's high time we get Quinn, and maybe Heather's past with Tommy, and Nicole, and Ashley, and Mona, AND KRJ!!! More Swyper and Rooster please! Out of all of them, I am currently the least interested in knowing about Elena.

Yeah, we've only had small interactions with Riona, but not much background. (We don't have much background of almost any side girls, though. Maybe Camila). That picture where she looked like she was crying had my hopes up for some background story, but oh well...

I don't know if i should play episode by episode, or just forget about the game and come back to it after a few years for the game to be complete, because the waiting is honestly killing me inside.

3 requirements, you need to have either a good memory (to remember this game exists), a huge amount of patience (waiting), and a long lifespan (like still in your diapers) if you wish to wait till the whole thing is complete before playing.
