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

[Holy Bacchus]

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

The "truth" as in a flashback that reveals who her family are and how things went down when she chose Neil over her family.

I want to pick all your brains again on this. Refer back to DPC's latest twitter post:
View attachment 732382

We all know that twitter posts will make it into rooster. So my question which I asked before is:
a) Did Jamie get his bruises from Dawe, meaning DPC acknowledges the fight with Caleb as official?
OR
b) Does DPC have a non-bruised pic of Jamie ready for the CHICK route?

Gonna go with B. Ep 5 has alternate bruised and non-bruised renders and the in-game Cluck will likely have that as well. They probably just sent this one out because the bruised picture is more eye-catching.

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

Because Neil is a mentor in a coming of age story. The end state is for the protagonist to make their own place in the world, and there's no simpler way to demonstrate that than to have them overcome the death of their mentor.

I'm certainly not advocating for it, and there are other ways to show the MC has grown up. But if DPC wants to indulge in his need for drama through cathartic sorrow, Neil is both an obvious target and a 'legitimate' one; killing Neil can advance the MC's story in a way that killing one of the LIs does not, IMHO.

Agreed.

It does make me wonder why Jaime will get the bruise only when the MC fights Caleb. Maybe it was just low-hanging fruit for a bit of reactivity, but it does imply the decision to fight Caleb will have some other consequence down the line.

It will make me laugh if he got tea bagged by Leon, you know they love double teaming people.

he was MC's mentor, for sure. but not in this story, in the story we are playing, the role of the father for now is marginal, if it were not for having trained him to fight he would be almost invisible in the unfolding of the events.

now he will have his share of the drama of his wife's letter, when in one way or another he has to deal with the past and probably with her family

Well MC's monologue right at the very beginning says mom is dead. And dad said she passed away during that talk with MC about her. Does that count?

Maya told us she had a boyfriend.

Unless you (Not the MC as you are privy to stuff he doesn't see) see it happening then it hasn't actually happened.

However Neil lying to his son for almost 19 years about the death of his mother would totally destroy the MC's trust and relationship with his father. Might as well just kill him off at that point, same shit.

it should be the other way around.

if someone says something, until proven otherwise it is the truth

MC told "us" in the beginning, it may not be true, but according to him it is the truth

we cannot question everything that we have not seen directly. too much effort like that

p.s. Maya also said that Derek is herbrother !!!!

by mistake something true will have told her too

This week I've mainly been writing dialogue and posing static renders and animations. I'm moving on to new parts of the episode after finishing a lengthy section.

I've been preparing some Rooster content as well, so I can post some Twitter posts soon.

1139 static renders and 45 animations are completed.

In the upcoming weeks, my PCs will mainly be rendering animations so progress will seem slower even if it's rendering at full speed as always.

Poll news
In poll news, Maya's option number 6 won in all polls and will be featured in episode 6.

Where has that come from? Feels like a bit of a push at most.

I believe it was a self performed rectal extraction

there is a thirst for blood

Bella and MC like Bonnie and Clide to spread terror in American colleges

Somebody above posted that until we see the mother dead then she's alive.

Wasn't my theory. I was arguing against it. Something about we cant believe anything were told unless we actually see it.

Some tin foil hat-esque theory that MC's mom is actually alive and Neil has been been lying to MC about her all these years.
