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

[felicemastronzo]

That library scene gives me the chills. And she smiles, twice if Im not wrong

it is the most significant scene of her storyline

but the next day if MC takes refuge in her house, they all pretend nothing has happened

 

[ladc]

I don't necessarily like to put myself in the shoes of MCs, it just happens, and whilst some things in this game do move me, I actually find it difficult to be immersed in those moments where, when you sit back and think about them, they don't make a whole lot of sense and could have been handled far better. Not "better" in terms of, "if this character had said/done this instead", but "better" in terms of, "there's no reason why this character would have done/not done this".

It's one thing when a character says or does the wrong thing, that's an believable slip-up/error in judgement, but it's another to make them say or do something uncharacteristic because you're forcing the drama even if it makes little to no sense given what we know of a character and what has already transpired. This is DPC's big flaw; that they force drama on the players by making characters act in odd ways that remove the player's ability to properly choose their drama.




It's easy to win the tennis game because you have to hit the "HIT" tennis ball at or near the top of the gauge. I've never lost against Jill, so she doesn't "always win".

I mean she wins when she starts

 

[IcemanVincy85]

This tbh. Jill quickly checking the locked door tells that even after being close friends, Isabella hiding something means there is definitely some weird shit in there

We will discover eventually, but i don't think Bella has a dark side. But who knows?

 

[jason20012992440914]

she is a character too full of contradictions for now: defender of Jill, but unable not to jump on the guy she likes, considers Jade a bad guy but acts like a nymphomaniac, welcomes Cathe when there is a scandal of the photo to give her shelter, but then she doesn't mind having sex and spending the night in a brotherhood ...

and we accept all these oddities with the justification of 1 or 2 mysteries (as long as you consider the room and the husband the same mystery) about which we continue to know nothing.

whatever the solution of the mystery of her, even the most extreme, could be credible

Yeah DPC never shies away from giving a dark backstory to a character, so you never know

 

[felicemastronzo]

bigger question who is hated more tybait or maya's dad

Tybalt remains a comic character, there is no competition

then my dream remains that Maya makes her father think alone with the support of MC and Josy, and that they reconcile, but I know it will remain a dream

 

[lemonfreak]

Depends on what the Dad does, if he's still there when they get back. Tybalt may be trying to leverage (flimsy) legal action against the MC to keep Jill away from him, but if Maya's Dad assaults, verbally abuses, and/or essentially kidnaps his own daughter by dragging her home and locking her away, well then I know who I will hate more.

Also, Tybalt eats a watermelon full of his own jizz

Not quoting or replying directly because like 8 people talked about it. RE: DPC's upcoming dark ending

All the LIs have a sword dangling above their head right now:

• Maya/Josy has Maya's religious father holding finances over her
• Sage has finding out who the cheater is, and potentially losing the presidency coupled with anger issues
• Bella has her secret and that "I would have called out for help" line
• Jill is being blackmailed (it's a little more over your head, tbh)

I have a bad feeling you're going to have to pick and choose who to help. You either calm down Sage before she does something she regrets, or you help Bella through whatever. Solve the blackmailing or deal with Maya's dad... So on. That's likely what these big one or the other choices have been leading up to.

Honestly I'm hoping the game follows normal story structure where shit gets really bad for the next few updates, but you can navigate through it and fix most things then get an ending on the same emotional level as the beginning. This game doesn't feel like it's been hinting at being dark enough to feel rightfully like a tragedy. The whiplash worked once in AL but doing it twice might just end with everyone bitter.

I hope the intro is only telling you it will dip into the negative aspects, not end in it.

 

[Daver]

Nora must return - such an adorable woman cannot be "a one time thing".

I hope, one of the best sex scene in the game

I didn't play Acting Lesson, but i'm curious to try it, i think that in the end you should choose Maya, Josy, Sage, Bella or Jill that's why i have different save with different path. I'm ready if this is the case

Yeah, Tybalt isn't a bad human being per se. He might be an egoist shitty person but I guess that's Tybalt just being Tybalt. Personally irl I imagine all rich spoiled brats to be like him

surely we will not be able to save them all, already in the sixth chapter there is the strong feeling that we will have to choose whether to continue with Jill (perhaps Sage is recoverable ...)

but not all of these dangers are of the same level

Bella's is not evaluable, it could be as hopeless as being a simple betrayal ...
I don't see how Jill's blackmail can be more of a setback, can the daughter of an important family end up being the sex slave of a page boy like Tybalt? can she really fall in love with him? I do not think so
Sage has to make peace with herself, but she has no real problems, and the presidency doesn't seem to care much

from Maya and Josy come the real dangers, if we knew that MC's $ 5,000 is at least in the order of magnitude of the tuition, we could rest assured, but in this uncertainty anything can happen. if she brings Maya home at the end is among the best guesses, eventually we will somehow bring her back to BR. but what if he actually pushed Maya to break up with Josy? he had almost succeeded once before. or if he forced MC to defend Maya physically, putting himself in even more trouble?

I don't know what to recommend.

when I finished it I thought that if I had played AL before, maybe I would never have started playing BADIK

but perhaps it was an exaggerated reaction

 

[jason20012992440914]

I just hope Maya doesn't take drastic measures after being depressed, that's all. Cause seeing AL, that might be a possibility.

If AL was the first game can't be perfect, but while i wait for ep7 i could give a shot

Mac user, having some trouble with the latest update patch. Tried all of the troubleshooting from the attached patch instructions, but no dice.

After clicking and dragging the "contents" folder into the App, the game tries to start up for a few mins, before finally crashing and delivering this message in terminal:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 274, in script
python:
ScriptError: could not find label 'start'.


Any advice?

 

[felicemastronzo]

If AL was the first game can't be perfect, but while i wait for ep7 i could give a shot

for me it is not a problem of defects

if it had too many I would simply not recommend it, I liked it and I think it is still worth playing, and that it is still now above average

but it just upsets you, and I like to be happy

 

[1d5w1adawd]

guys the 6.0.1 patch is not working i tried to copy all the patch and paste it in my game (replace otherfiles) but not working its still on 0.5.2. But after im done at Ep 5 the Ep 6 palayed but i keep getting error, can any body help me ?

In the intro Jill says if you had hard time don't play this game. I don't know if this is a hint for a bad ending

Patch doesn't work on the 5.2 from here, you need the full download.

It's easy to win the tennis game because you have to hit the "HIT" tennis ball at or near the top of the gauge. I've never lost against Jill, so she doesn't "always win".

He's talking about set not the match, Jill always win her set but you can win the match.If you never lost a set for her you only played a one set match, if you play the 3 set match you lose her set.
