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

[mindern]

Just to be irritating but its possible to bridge the two theories on the D&G game.

perhaps the MC and co are playing D&G but the DM (or MC) are just putting Sage’s (or even Maya/Josy) face on characters.

The game takes place entirely in the players imaginations but DPC has to give faces to the characters for us playing the game. If the DM has some red headed princess locked in a tower for their D&G quest the MC might just be putting Sage’s face on that character because she needs a face... DPC may as well populate this world with models he already has and spin it as the MC’s imagination using real people. Just an idea bridging the two theories.

So he is really playing D&G, and like countless TV shows before it the DM is using people we know as characters.

You left out one point.. and it all happened... in a dream..

Or in the mind of a dying man as in my stupid fan theory which is now Inception baby, YEAH

I don't know, having interactions with an NPC with Sage's (or whoever's) face seems like a pointless waste of time. Even sex scenes like that would be pointless imo (if someone were to act and fully detail and explain a sex scene in a live role game ).

No fan theory is stupid. We all occasionally wander WAY off the reservation. Thats the fun of all of this.

 

[Apollo999]

really enjoyed the game so far... hope to see the update soon

Not if it's a wet dream bro. Someone (preferably close to you) has to fully act out the deed.

That one is, deliberately so, although I did try to give it an authentic feel.

The DnG game seems like a pointless waste of time, yet here we are. DPC might as well lean into it and add things like this if they're going to devote time and resources to something which is taking up valuable space from more important matters.

Unless its purpose is to be an easter egg that points out how Affinity/Status works with one standing in for Lawful/Chaotic and the other Good/Evil.

And yours may be the most accurate of all the theories. At this point, Occam's Razor be damned, all of them are just WAG's (wild ass guesses).

Who knows with DPC. All the D&G stuff may become important later on. Not saying it will be but we don't really know where DPC is going with all this and what his end game is.

If fans responses are good, next year he will come out with BaDIK Side Story: D&G.

He mentioned a new "GUI"? Maybe this is it?

DnG, no DnG, I just wanna clap some cheeks

I usually don't like this kind of things in stories, it screams filler, specially when you want the story to go forward and updates take several months. But for now I give him the benefit of the doubt. We don't know where he's going with this and maybe it will make sense. If not just after the episode 6 drops, maybe eventually.

My feelings on most dream sequences. Its a way to put sex into the game so no one complains about blue balling before the groundwork gets established.

 

[ChipLecsap]

Wow, some of you really reached the state of arrogance of now openly saying what is a waste of time and what should be focused , essentially you know better how the game should be developed than the actual creator. Well go had, do your own game, im very curious about it .

if you get upset about my comment, you one of those arrogant

Or its purpose is to test the waters for the game after BaDIK that will be set in something like this. Beyond that, I can't see how this DnG stuff is going to help the MC with his relationships, with the DIKs, with Quinn, or anything else that is actually important in this game.

Or its purpose it's as simple as the MC and other characters are simply having a little fun.

If we assume that the Tri-Betas are the ones responsible for setting the Diks and Alphas against each other then the MC's behaviour in the game could be very important. Right now he's the only one on either group who seemingly has a good relationship with them (maybe Derek, Bert is nerd but is he a Tri-Beta?) which may put spare him from whatever their next plan is.

On top of that, showing favour to one of the LIs over the others is bound to have an effect.

mmmm Finally that Jade beach time, hnnnggggg!

Ya Jade is rockin'...wow.

I wonder if we choose to not take it further with Jade the first time in a given playthrough if we'll be able to choose an option with her at a later point in the game. I always choose to not pursue her in Episode 4 just because there's something about the situation that just doesn't feel right to me, not sure what it is, but I like Jade, and would like to pursue her, just maybe in different circumstances.
