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

[TrainHardnett]

Doing another neutralish speedrun to see what the differences would be without the Jade scene in the end of ep6 and the changes to the mansion mini game. See if I manage to save up more money then on my "main" save.

But gotta say I am surprised how even with quite different choices the balance between chick and dick can be maintained for the Neutral Affinity with the slight variations of leaning toward more chick or dik.

Does anybody else just get a feeling of emptiness whenever they finish an update? It's like, "damn, I need to wait for probably almost half a year before another update". Shit sucks, who knows what kind of bullshit is gonna happen between now and then?

It's a shitty and sadly sensation, you wait so long for the episode and in one day you finish it and you're left wanting more and now you have to wait five or six months for the next episode.

No, it can still be a choice, but the choice should be consistent with the moralities in the game. I didn't create those moral standards, DPC did. I just want the game mechanics to remain consistent with itself.



For me, it depends on if you rejected them or they rejected you. If they rejected you, I understand the drama narratively, because you, the player, wanted the relationship, so the game needs to keep that possibility alive. But if you, as a player, chose to reject them, I agree with you: dial that back (maybe not all the way to zero, so players have some room to potentially change their minds, but definitely dial it back significantly).



A couple people have brought this up, and maybe my vision is just bad, but I didn't see it even when I went back and looked. I saw the light flicker, but was there an actual silhouette I just missed, or are we just assuming it was someone walking in front of the light? If there's something visible in that shot and someone has a screen grab, I'd love to see it.



This is exactly how I took it as well. 100%.



I'm not sure there's much to explain as far as Burke's motivation goes: he likes young girls, Quinn supplies them, and in exchange he gets them "free tuition". I don't think he's putting actual money into anything, just messing with financial records.

I went back to look, it moves pretty quick but you can see it going across to the left. You cant really see much other than the light being blocked in my screenshots tho

So, I was messing around with the latest chapter, and this one exchange finally jumped out at me. It's Cathy & Jade's conversation at the bar which I originally assumed was just Cathy being defeated/humiliated over the cluck. But when I actually paid closer attention, it seems like they are talking about something else entirely.

Look at the conversation, particularly the parts I've underlined:

Cathy: Why are you so mad with me?
Jade: I'm not mad with you. I was upset, but I'm over it.
Cathy: I didn't know before going there.
Jade: I know and it doesn't matter. None of that matters now.
Cathy: You hate me.
Jade: I love you. And I'll support you, even though this is the worst thing that has happened in a very long time.
Cathy: You're my best friend.
Jade: And you're mine.

None of those bolded parts make sense if they are talking about the cluck incident. Why would Jade be upset with Cathy over it? And why would Jade, rather than Cathy, think of it as "the worst thing that has happened in a very long time"?

But the most cryptic line for me is "I didn't know before going there." What does THAT mean? I don't see how this conversation can be about the cluck, it has to be yet another new mystery to add to the pile.

Interesting I had not realized, who will be?

It may be that Dr. Burke wanted to take advantage of Cathy's situation to blackmail her into having sex with him and she refused.

Still can't see anything, but I'll take your word for it. Thanks for the attempt, though.

Jade's husband, Stephen, probably tried to hook up with Cathy. He's obviously got a thing for Cathy (that whole deal with saying her name when having sex with Jade), so perhaps nothing happened between them but Stephen tried something. Jade's pretty awesome the way she's treating Cathy through all this, some women would just lose it.

But she technically can leverage something like refusing to speak to Tybalt against the others because he's technically got power over the other preps. If Jill were to say, "if you do that, I'll never to speak to you again", Tybalt would surely to anything to ensure that doesn't happen and would likely grovel to Jill, at which point she could tell him that not only should he not file charges, but he also needs to persuade the other Preps not to do so either and Tybalt would probably do that, or at least say he did since he's likely lying about them wanting to sue anyway.

Sorry late reply and I couldn't read all 25 pages of posts between yours and now, so apologies if my reply is already somewhat covered elsewhere.

You are right that she technically can leverage that, but that is not her personality. She is all about "doing the right thing" because there's a touch of being a naive character in her. So when Tybalt was being an ass on Rooster, she had no problem defending MC. When MC trespassed, she scolded MC. But she's willing to defend MC because Tybalt banning MC from visiting is not right. However, in this case, it's not "right vs wrong", MC is in the wrong too. So it's "wrong vs wrong" which makes it difficult for her to defend MC.

This is amplified by the act itself. When MC trespassed to visit Jill, it was also "wrong vs wrong", but the magnitude is much smaller as there's no harm done. In the party's case, it's no longer an innocent mistake. It ruined the party which affected all the people attending the party, including the guests, and potentially causing property damage. The scale of the problem is much bigger.

So now we're at "wrong vs wrong" and "it's a bigger wrong" (plus violent conduct if MC punched Tybalt) and it's "affecting multiple people". To pull something like "I'm not going to talk to you if you sue my friend that trespassed and ruined people's night and punched you" is basically a very cheap move that wouldn't suit Jill's character at all.

So really she does have a lot of power of here, and it's an unfortunate side effect of DPC making her so meek that he's chosen to make her give in to something that she has a clear way of countering.

This is where it showed about the character. Jill being meek is part of her character. Her countering doesn't fit her meek character. You can't project yourself into Jill in a "what would I have done if I were in her shoes? Oh, I would've countered and threatened not to talk to Tybalt anymore instead" because she has a different characteristic than you. Different characters simply have different ways on how they behave.

Whether you like Jill as a character or not is fine, but I think she behaves consistently as a character.

That's why a lot of people like Jade, She's basically the perfect women. With that being said, with how much screen time Jade gets i have a feeling DPC is going to do something extremely bad to her character.

Someone in a post above already said so what am i going to say.
It may be that Dr. Burke wanted to take advantage of Cathy's situation to blackmail her into having sex with him and she refused.

That scenario does seem plausible. The only part I'd wonder about is why Jade would be upset with CATHY in that scenario, but I guess she doesn't actually say it's Cathy she's upset at. Maybe that's just Cathy projecting her own self loathing over the whole thing? I don't know.

I'm also not sure how what happened to Cathy puts her in a position that Burke could attempt to leverage for blackmail. I mean, he's got blackmail material on his wife (if MC slept with her and shared the video), but what happened to Cathy isn't her fault, she's the victim. I don't know how you use that incident to try and make her do anything.

Still, it's a better theory than anything I've got right now.

Her son is Tybalt. She had to have some flaw.

That much is certain. Her flaws started from the man she married and the addition of Tybalt just set it in stone lol

Anyone have a save before cleaning with Maya and Josie? I don't want to start over for one scene. Sorry for my English.

Well, that's not a lewd scene but take it anyways
Delete the numbers prior to 28-5
Thanks to ename144 who provides the original save. I already could watch the second 50% part of Josy and Maya scene, thank you.
