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

[-Hex-]

Yet plenty of men and women have done it. It's not because of what happened, but because of the aftermath. People deal with tragedy differently, don't talk, get resentment...drift apart...etc etc. Not just cos they assholes.

i could understand with losing an already born child, but a miscarriage means losing a child that is yet to be born, yes it's a tragedy but leaving your companion in their weakest moment because you can't deal with it in my eyes marks you as a waist of air and a person i'll avoid associating with
and i'm talking about the man leaving the woman in this particular case, not about losing an already born child or any other variant
with that i can understand that the mental trauma of an event like that can lead to the ending of the relationship
just my opinion

Does anyone know how long this episode will last that the Producer will release? Is it going to be bigger than Episode 5?

 

[Holy Bacchus]

these theories are reaching some depressingly sad territory man, i mean she had a miscarriage or is infertile and the husband left her for that?
how much of a cunt must you be to do somethimg like that, i hope that's not the case, i'd just feel sad for my girl

This is what happens when you make a game like AL; people start to think the dev is always going to go down some really dark rabbit holes.

According to the dev, it's going to be the longest episode yet and might even take a couple of hours to get through it.

Look how she is clenching her fist

A miscarriage very late in the pregnancy can be just as stressful and impactful as losing an infant... especially since in those cases, the mother has to then deliver the dead child.

Anyway, yeah, the topic is super dark... but Bella's story has to involve something super dark. There's been too much foreshadowing for it to be otherwise. If the door is opened and there's just some old junk, her husband really is just off on some trip, and there's nothing at all behind Bella's 'mysterious' demeanor... it's going to seriously knock the wind out of the story.

To be fair, he does call himself an "adult story writer" (or something along the lines) , in the little Jill speech when you first boot up the game, so he kinda warn us that this shit can get daaark .

 

[Darkdevil66]

Pretty sure that was the only time Quinn called her Barbie.

She did it again in Sage's path :

Except for calling the MC a pervert. A lot .

Pervert is actually the default pet name. You have to choose a better one to make her stop calling you that.

Like Darkdevil says, it's her default pet name for the MC. You can just change it to whatever you want on your phone...

I know but it's funnier during the threesome.

Hold on a sec, when was the first time she called her Barbie then?

 

[Warped77]

Very true.

 

[DarkLup]

Yes

I could have made a thousand playthrough without noticing

 

[AntiFlash]

Tomorrow the Developer will give news about Development right? Do you expect it to reveal something big or not?

 

[Darkdevil66]

Ep2, after the cumpetition only if you defend Maya.

Then that's where we differ on who we both think are wastes of air. I could say the same for unsympathetic assholes too. I'm glad you've never had to deal with/see such a situation which is why you're probably completely clueless as to what people go through.

Just my opinion.

Funny to assume i've never had to deal with such situations as if you knew me
Actually i'm an active EMT and i had to deal with situations like those many times, if you really want to know i've actually delivered 2 babies who were dead at birth and had a one month old child die in my arms while i was administrating cpr with both parens on the ambulance with me
I guess that make people like me develop a different kind of sensitivity so i suggest you too not to be so quick to judge me and call me an unsympathetic asshole, thank you

Ep2, after the cumpetition only if you defend Maya.

More specifically, only if you're a DIK and defend Maya when Quinn berates her for trying to make out with the MC. (I think it's an affinity trigger, but I have never tested it.)


If the MC is CHICK, Quinn doesn't make her Ken Doll crack and skips the Barbie comparison in the process.


So I think her reference in Episode 4 is technically a continuity mistake for some playthroughs, if a relatively minor one. Definitely confused me until I tried a DIK run.

Regarding Bella's mysterious hubby who may or may not return? He is an asshole.

He has to be. Because if he is not. If he is a sort of victim well that would put us Bella pursuers in an impossible position, or i should say in a position that is pure guilt tripping. Imagine if Tybalt would be an absolutely blast of a cool kid. A nice, smooth, funny, loving caring individual who really would want the best for Jill and all. How would that feel. It would suck.

One way or the other, the competition has to be easily dislikable. Otherwise its a very uncomfortable, awkard situation. Not something you necessarily want your players to endure extensively. It kills the fun. Japanese level of drama about absolute hopelesness with an unavoidable bad ending. It would suck.

So in my mind, Bella's side of competition whom we believe to be her mysterious James.. simply must be someone who we can easily condemn and with good reasons. He cannot be a hero. If he is.. he has to die or be dead already.
