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

[RonWeasleyJr]

even if it becomes difficult to establish who can be there given the different possible Paths (Sage could be excluded like Jill and Bella it is difficult to imagine participate in something public) but it is not to be excluded that all LIs are present regardless of the type of relationship, in the end they are all at least "acquaintances"

DPC has said that ep 6 will feature the widest array of Individual paths with the different LIs.

My assumption is that all the LIs end up participating in the RPG session, and MC and one of the LIs end up separated from the rest of the party and go off on a quest by themselves.


My current "guess" , based on the preview pics DPC has posted, is that MC and Jill join Magnar in the library for another D&D session, with Josy joining in through her friendship with MC/Jill, and Maya getting dragged into it as well.

While that is going on, Sage shows up in the library, either to talk to MC or (more likely) to talk to Magnar about some aspect of campus Greek Life (Sage may mock the nerds in her first encounter in the cafeteria, but they are still a legit frat and Magnar is technically an "equal" to Sage and the other Greek Council presidents).

Sage asks Bella where MC/Magyar is at, Bella points out the gaming session, and against her better judgement, Sage ends up joining in and playing the "damsel in distress" that needs to be rescued.

Sage thus is introduced to the other LIs.

I can't even imagine doing a playthrough without having MC interested in Jill. She's just too irresistible

I mean if I had an encounter with someone like her and she defended me from pricks like the jocks in real life! I have to fucking stupid not to fall for her on first sight. She blew all the other love interests out of the water on that one scene. When other girls come to talk with the MC in my gameplay, I say this in my head "Yeah yeah whatever, I'm just trying to find Jill; fuck off.". My gameplay just naturally gravitates towards her because we have very similar morals and interests...just exclude the money from the um...similarities.... The only trouble I had was if I should punch Tybalt or not...since I'm pretty sure he would cry to Jill or sue the hell out of me if I did...so...I had to hold back. In the end...my MC is going to follow his father's footsteps and marry a rich girl! Or in other words, make her poor!

I've previously said that it's difficult to watch since I'm heavily invested in these characters, but I wouldn't go so far as to describe it as NTR. For me, NTR is about when the protagonist is deliberately forced to watch a LI get fucked in front of them to torture them, and it's most especially NTR if the LI is the one who wants to do it as a way of flaunting it in the protag's face.

The M&J scene, for me, is more like watching a sex tape of your girlfriend with her ex; you accept that she's had relationships before but you don't want to see it because you'd rather not know what their previous relationship was like.



Corruption is basically when you take someone with little to no sexual experience and turn them into a totally cock hungry slut who will do pretty much anything. But this can also be linked to NTR if making the wrong choices with a LI can lead them down a corruption path. Case-in-point would be a game like Good Girl Gone Bad, which when I played the first time saw the friend Eva become a total whore and it wasn't pleasant to see, but making better decisions didn't lead her down that path.



Oh boy, I don't know if I like the idea of double relationship drama with a LI-centric DnG game AND a birthday party with all the LIs in attendance in one episode. Hopefully it won't be, but I can't really see a scenario where the MC doesn't have invite all the LIs to celebrate his birthday.

think about the positive aspect.

the game of D&G won't take up much space in the chapter

for the party at the end there are 3 possibilities:
DIKs organize it, so all men (low probability)
Derek arranges it, so he, Maya and Josy, maybe Jill but I don't think so (medium probability)
MC himself organizes it, all LIs are invited, even Bella (medium probability)

but I don't think this will be an opportunity to create tensions, on the contrary it will be a peaceful party in which, in case, undeveloped relationships can be reopened. it will be a happy moment before the twist

even the third chapter was closing happily ...

DPC has said that ep 6 will feature the widest array of Individual paths with the different LIs.

My assumption is that all the LIs end up participating in the RPG session, and MC and one of the LIs end up separated from the rest of the party and go off on a quest by themselves.


My current "guess" , based on the preview pics DPC has posted, is that MC and Jill join Magyar in the library for another D&D session, with Josy joining in through her friendship with MC/Jill, and Maya getting dragged into it as well.

While that is going on, Sage shows up in the library, either to talk to MC or (more likely) to talk to Magyar about some aspect of campus Greek Life (Sage may mock the nerds in her first encounter in the cafeteria, but they are still a legit frat and Magyar is technically an "equal" to Sage and the other Greek Council presidents).

Sage asks Bella where MC/Magyar is at, Bella points out the gaming session, and against her better judgement, Sage ends up joining in and playing the "damsel in distress" that needs to be rescued.

Sage thus is introduced to the other LIs.

your reconstruction is credible.
the game of D&G will probably be a big surprise for me, but for now I am not thrilled at all. we'll see

DIK opens the path to fucking a lot of the side ladies, but closes off the path for some of the main ones, CHICK is the route you go if you want the "main" ladies /have them like you.

I doubt it, someone had to take the picture!

This seems to confirm the MC's birthday will be part of Episode 6 (or at least part of the celebration). I'm very curious to see how that will work out. No wonder DPC says the episode will be big, it feels like it's covering all the stuff that was stuck in a holding pattern for Episode 5.

It's going to be a long wait until October (and that's if we're lucky).

The Roosters don’t seem to always have someone specified to take them. Which is an interesting point. I’ll have a look at that on my next play through.

interesting you see the Birthday as something that was on hold, given that it was introduced in ep 5. I’ve said it before, but lots happened in episode 5, it was just condensed for time,

Jill should really wind up with Rusty, that scene in ep5 was so cute.

I tend to agree. I hope there are ways to set up all the LIs to some extent or another if we aren’t on their path.

He already had his chance and he missed it

Well, he messed it up at least. Interesting thing is she said when he was with the DIKs he acted differently, which implies she liked the way he acted when not with them. The Question is who is the ‘real’ Rusty. Seems to me he is the nice guy getting dragged around by Tommy.

DPC has said that ep 6 will feature the widest array of Individual paths with the different LIs.

My assumption is that all the LIs end up participating in the RPG session, and MC and one of the LIs end up separated from the rest of the party and go off on a quest by themselves.

Sage thus is introduced to the other LIs.

I’m not anticipating D&G playing that larger role. Where did DPC mention the most individual routes? (Not saying he didn’t I just don’t remember). It seems early to start splitting paths. I get a DIK/ CHICK split, that was the lack of that in 5 was the biggest issue for me.

 

[felicemastronzo]

DIK opens the path to fucking a lot of the side ladies, but closes off the path for some of the main ones, CHICK is the route you go if you want the "main" ladies /have them like you.

if you are a dreamer and believe you can survive the triangle with Maya and Josy you can only choose CHICK (and some extra content with Jill)

on the other side the way of perdition with the HOTs and teachers ....

why choose? two rides (actually there are more) and full fun

 

[Levi Sasuke]

Am i the only one who played chick, dik and neutral in a single save.....

 

[Holy Bacchus]

He already had his chance and he missed it

He did, but I feel like we were told this for the purposes of them possibly getting together if the MC doesn't choose Jill. It feels like Rusty gets led by Tommy quite a bit and that his behaviour gets influenced by that. But if he didn't behave like that, perhaps there would be a chance for him and Jill which the MC might help facilitate if he chooses someone else.

DPC has said that ep 6 will feature the widest array of Individual paths with the different LIs.

Where has he said that? Because from the status updates on Patreon he has never said that. All he has said is that this will be longest episode so far but hasn't said anything about how the different LI paths will be handled.

The birthday itself is obviously brand new. But any sort of reflection on or development of the MC's life was largely absent from Episode 5. It was just an extended celebration of all the stuff we did in Season 1 that (IMHO) wound up overwhelming the thin connective tissue trying to hold it together.

Anything new Episode 5 added (like the birthday, the new DIK era, or whatever Melanie is planning with Chad & Sage) were left extremely ambiguous. As a result, it feels like Episode 6 not only has to get the plot back in motion, it also needs to fill in details for Episode 5.

 

[ExDeath730]

Am i the only one who played chick, dik and neutral in a single save.....

Nah, there's a save i'm playing making the choices i would make. Started neutralish with some DIK preference, went crazy in hell week, ended as massive DIK by the start of episode 5. Since i was tired of hell week, i decided to take it easy, made so many CHIK choices that ended up almost back to Neutral.

 

[RonWeasleyJr]

It seems early to start splitting paths.

I meant that the MC will have to choose Maya/Josy/Jill/Sage/Bella to go off with and have a quest in the D&D game by themselves, while the rest of the group has another adventure, and then the group reunites afterwards.

I wasn't implying that MC will "choose" an LI to go steady with and cut off the other branches already.

I believe that the sequence of the D&G match will be common to all, what will change will be the reactions live (outside the session, in the "real world") and hopefully some consequence (to make the game session useful)

 

[felicemastronzo]

Early to split LI's or not...his story not anyone elses. If that's what DPC decides to do, that's what he will decide to do.

let me delude myself


I'm still looking for a way to report Leah to the authorities
