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

[Holy Bacchus]

I would agree, there's no reason for more flashbacks. If there is one it would most likely be about a new revelation and Jill told the MC about the date already. If Bella did know Jill's sister it could come up, but there's a lot going on and the focus will likely be on DIK mansion, scavenger hunt, and possibly the drug dealing (though that might not come to a head until for a few more episodes).

I wouldn't say there's "no reason for more flashbacks", just that we don't need them in every episode. I think there are still plenty of things that we both could and should see the backstory of, with some being major flashbacks like with M&J and the founding of the DIKs, and others being minor flashbacks like Zoey and Bella as an OMG.

My own personal list of top 5 most wanted flashbacks (in no particular order) would be as follows:

Major Flashbacks	Minor Flashbacks
How Quinn started her drug and pimping businesses​ The Bella and Jill incident​ The truth about the MC's Mom (after the letter)​ What really happened to Vinny​ What happened with Bella and her husband​	Maya's Dad finding out about her and Josy​ Sage's relationship with Chad from start to now​ Jill's sister and Bella (if they indeed knew each other)​ The Cathy picture leak​ The pics given to the Jocks​

Or use the cheat mode and unlock all so you don't have o look for them. For my taste that's just a lost of time having to guess where those things are and to look for them. Not that is the game..

That's not what they were asking. They were wanting to know how to find the updates and previews posted in this thread, not about anything to do with in-game collectibles.

ya thats what i try and do .. skp it .. just would be better without all that imo

Are you seriously complaining about THAT? The game gives you the option to skip it instantly. Is that extra click really a reason for you to complain about on a public forum?

 

[Tserriednich'sNen]

I think episode 6 flashback is Jill and Rusty date or Jill sister and Bella.

You do realize not every episode needs to have a flashback right?

 

[flippityflop]

First, this site needs to let me react more to comments, Second, yeah that crossed my mind, and that is why I want to talk to Jill about Polyamory and open relationships, I think she would like Josy and Maya, and we all know she had something with Bella, then there is Sage, that is actually an awesome character, so Mc needs to wise up fast.

So you're basically thinking of a harem scenario, which as far as I know was ruled out by DPC on several occasions.
Or you're just overly optimistic.

Overly optimistic, and not Harem, although that would be the tag on the site, I mean an actually open relationship where all parties can fuck whoever they want or true Polly which would be actually having meaningful relationships with multiple people, and if they all click then they all get together if not the relationships remain separate, harem implies everyone for the MC.

uhh seeing my comments i think they are nothing compared to others ... so bug off

It is interesting that DPC said that though, because I really don't see anyone but maybe Bella and Jill having a problem with it, and I actually even them it seems unlikely, for Jill it could be just good experimenting with people that she can trust, but it might be a problem because of her family, and Bella is married something that util solved could be a problem, but she obviously has had at least a moment, and a moment she was worried that would be repeated(something that happens when she thinks of her moments with the MC) with Jill, so I don't know, it wouldn't be out of character, the only real reason not to happen might be that DPC just doesn't like Harem as portrait normally.

I'm sure there will be more, my thought was we didn't need one in the next episode (although I see I didn't actually say it that way). I can't imagine there won't be one for Bella and her husband, but I still think that reveal is a ways off (could be wrong, but it seems other plot events are more immediate). I would like to see the MC becoming aware of the stories when the flashback happens (the beginning of episode 4 was pretty long and the MC still doesn't know that story).

I think the game needs a few more reviews before I can make up my mind about it.

I think Neil is still the character with the highest highest risk of tragic death, though obviously I'm hoping for the Grim Reaper to miss this game entirely.

why? MC has already lost his mother, losing his father would also be fierce, but would not add much

If you enjoy these kinds of games? Then you'll enjoy this one.

I honestly think it's of a higher quality of game than most. I personally have never seen any sloppy animations, the story and the characters are actually interesting and a lot of the time funny. The music is really good. All the models for the girls are very good, there's a ton of replay value.

 

[cryhwks]

I don't believe the dad will die either, but to be fair whenever the death of the mother is brought up, the MC seems indifferent about it because he never knew her, but the dad on the other hand has been his rock, it would be devastate to the MC.

But I agree it wouldn't server anything other than dropping an emotional bomb on the MC.

And we know that it doesn't need to be something that stong to make him spiral, as shown previously.

I believe that there will be dramas, but of a sentimental nature: quarrels, sudden and definitive separations, departures ...

there is a part of me that continues to fear that for some LIs there will be no happy ending (the main candidates are Bella and Sage), which seems to me a fate worse than death ...

What 'truth' do you mean about MC's mom? Weather she's alive or not? She's alive until the story decides otherwise.

If AL can get happy endings with the girl of your choosing then so can this game.

I'm not a fan of flashbacks, I found them both slow enough.
the one on the birth of DIK at least revealed some background, that of Maya and Josy instead is basically useless (we discovered the backstory behind the photo that Maya had shown to MC ...)
I think many of those you indicate are basically connected to each other, so they could end up merged into a single flashback.

in general I would prefer some things to be told quickly and not show them by stealing time from the characters present

the 2 probably inevitable flashbacks are the one on MC's mother and the one on Bella's husband
