VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Holy Bacchus]

I don't like the ratio either when it comes to LIs that respond well to DIK affinity versus CHICK but the title of the game isn't about that. It's about the MC becoming a member of the DIK fraternity and experiencing what life is like "being a DIK". He does that regardless of the choices he makes or LIs he pursues.

It's amazing how many people don't seem to get this.

It does seem a little odd though how unbalanced the love interest affinities are. Unless there is a change coming in the future or i'm missing something (The latter is more probable)

I think it makes sense, actually. On the DIK path, you get WAY more opportunities at casual sex with the side girls (by now on the DIK path, we've banged most of the HOTs, and the game's barely started) vs. the CHICK path where we're much more drawn towards what could eventually turn into serious relationships.

I could definitely see the game continuing down the path towards DIK vs. CHICK being 'man-whore vs. boyfriend material'.

True, looking at it like that does make sense.

Cockblocked? Maybe.

Tommy secretly taking a picture of the MC making out with Jill, or maybe even Jill topless, and then posting it on social media under a fake account which will cause jealousy and drama with Maya, Josy, and Sage, and cause scandal for Jill if she were to be partly or even fully nude? Yes, I can definitely see that happening.

Jill wouldn't get nude in a public place, it's not within her character so entertaining that is simply fanfic. As for a kiss, OMG the trouble it would cause both of them if a photo of them kissing got leaked

I seem to remember a chart Holy Bacchus posted a while back that showed how Neutral path is actually the most beneficial in terms of the number of lewd scenes you can get and the CHICK path isn't as far behind DIK as you'd expect judging by their characteristics.

You mean this?

Back in May, I posted list of all the scenes, variations of scenes, other moments, and RP you can obtain or not obtain by being a certain status and/or affinity.

So, for those wondering whether it's better to DIK, CHICK, or Neutral I will post it here again and have updated it with the content from episode 5.

No matter how many times i've replayed that scene. MC and Jill's reaction to that story from Bella cracks me up!

 

[Tserriednich'sNen]

I'm wondering if that 2nd date with Jill will be only for those pursuing her or forced for everyone. It wouldn't make sense for a date with Jill to be forced upon players who haven't shown interest in her nor post a cluck of her smiling during the date titled 'Happy.'

Sure. I guess I was ignoring 'neutral' affinity and more referring to a 'pure' DIK run vs a 'pure' CHICK run, as the discussion was on the likely disparity of LI options between the DIK and CHICK paths.

Hell, it's still very possible that you could end up with any (or all if we get a harem ending, as unlikely as that is) of the LIs by the end with neutral affinity.

I am literally dying from inside to play the next update.

Well... we're all literally dying. The rate at which we're doing so is the only thing in question.

if it is a fate it becomes really difficult to hypothesize the presence of MC if he had not shown interest in Jill ...

could it be a chance encounter? did MC ever have a meeting with Tommy there?
so it would be more manageable
in this case, those who have shown interest in Jill will stop and talk to get ice cream etc, the others will greet her and continue

Well now i'm just depressed .... cheers ...

In the early scenes, Josy responds better to Dik choices (confirmed via the mod) so it's likely that her solo path is on the Dik route.

You're not thinking she's secretly hot for Tommy, right!? lol

I guess she's into bad boys and good girls?

Interesting, I've always been the other way around

I was VERY wary of hitting that spoiler .... it worked out well this time. (Not as well as a Sunday, but good enough)

Sure, she likes it when the MC makes fun of Steve and is generally being rude to him but flirting with her with a DIK status costs you RP while CHICK or Neutral status gives you RP during their first scene on the bench.

If anything, early game Josy is a mixed bag who doesn't appreciate blindly going towards either extreme.
