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

[shazba]

Far too many flags in the code for that not to happen now. Pretty much guaranteed I would say.

DPC once wrote on these forums after discovering people were perusing the code, that he's start throwing in red herrings. The guy's tenacity to fuck with his readership knows no bounds!

 

[Hellkinglucifer]

Excellent. I can cuck Tommy with Heather and with Josy. If Monica or whatever her name is ever shows up I'm going balls deep in her too.

Tommy douche face is made to be cucked

 

[shazba]

Not the greatest writing there then huh?

So, (no idea your age)...but if some hot 20 something was throwing herself at you, you'd turn her down? I sure as hell wouldn't. Do you have a moral issue with a 40+ year old guy dating a 20 something? No wonder you don't like my posts.....

To be honest (perverted Internet persona aside), I'd turn her down because I'm in a serious relationship, but perverted Internet persona back on, I'd pound her into next week!

 

[ChipLecsap]

I think it's very likely. Adds more drama...all DPC knows. Even his biggest die hard fanboy fan...has to actually realise and admit this to themselves?

Of course Tommy cares...in the context of this story...why would he not care? Josy has no drama...really, at all. You can be damn sure DPC will give her some. You heard it here first

please enlighten me about what give you the idea of Tommy caring about Josy. aside from he does not want his fun ruined by her, because well, we know she is a bitch toward him. .
and of course aside from you narrow thinking that,
A: Drama, Drama , Drama.
B: the Drama must be about Josy connection with Tommy.

right now, it would not make absolute any sense. It's not in the story in believable way, it would be out of nowhere, if Sudenléy Tommy is like upset that you fuck Josy, He might be upset if you Fuck his GF, but may be not, becase he cheat on her

I already told what Josy drama will be, she is a Yandere .

"Late comer" to the discussion... (heck, even first comment here)

I stopped liking Maya after the grind pre-cumpetition.
I don't care if she was "forced" to do it..
As the way I see it, even if she had a gun to her face, nobody should be able to force her to do that!

Both from MC perspective. And Maya's own "insecurities".
This whole scene is breaking her character, and the "innocence" she supposedly have.

MC was asleep.. She hopped on him without his consent.
Somebody she had no relationship with what so ever.
This is the only reason I'll ever need not to like her.

My first playthrough I did try flirting with her up until this point.
Made me restart the playthrough as I didn't have any save points left prior to first meet with her.
Most playthroughs after, I was completely negative towards her from first meet.
Still get that scene.

I did like Josy, so when it was revealed that they were a "package-deal", even she was a no go.

But that shit is not OK!

If it was a male that hopped on a female the same way, he'd be in jail by the end of the chapter..
Just saying.

There should've been an option to throw her off, and leave to live elsewhere already at that point.

So like some say here, that people get "butt-hurt" cuz of her "cucking" and what not, is slightly generalizing a bit too much.

But. That's just my two cents.

That's fair. A character did something (on the first chapter!) you didn't like and yet the game forces all her drama on you during 5 chapters more (so far) just because. So your fury is against the game itself because you're not given the chance of forgetting her even when you decide to stay out of the love triangle. That's on DPC, at least he was smart enough to put out a wide cast of hotties to pursue

 

[shazba]

He must also be pretty dim if he thinks people don't do that all the time with these VN's. Maybe he should have written it in Unity instead if he has such an issue with it.

He might have just been joking in response to someone's comment, but look how much time we devote to trying to read his mind, how the fuck can we know?!

 

[AchedCroissant]

I just wait for the walk of fame at the mansion and for Josy to come out first to see Tommy's reaction and next Maya to see Derek's reaction

 

[shazba]

No one in the history of porn games probably ever thought of that option...

 

[J1215]

Whether there will be a problem between MC and Tommy depends on what the real reason for Josy and Tommy's bad relationship is.
If Tommy just wants Josy not to interfere with his "fun" - then Tommy might even like that MC is with Josy. - Then Tommy will ask the MC to have the MC spend more time with Josy (so Josy doesn't see Tommy's "fun").

 

[hablat]

If it had been revealed she had a boyfriend and was straight, then in Ep 4 the MC makes an empassioned plea for Maya to be with him instead, nobody would give a shit about anything Maya did before this, I guarantee it.

I'd really love if you would stop postulating on other's feelings. I cannot speak for anyone else, but Maya has always been my least favourite of the LIs. Before her relationship with Josy was revealed, but she only got worse after.

She's feels like a mean girl masquerading as a meek, conscientious person. Every time she's onscreen's like a plot blackhole where we get sucked into the singularity of her self-centered issues. She's gone and dragged Josy into it. The biggest thing is she's a hypocrite. MC has to drag her kicking and screaming into being truthful to you when she demands 100% truthfulness from him.

Pretty much everything listed by the post you responded to point-by-point shows why I don't much like her. Beyond that I can't say I'm a fan of her sex-negative views. Beyond that she's just a bland "primary romance" character with none of the charm the others have, in my opinion.

Sure, the reveal made me dislike her more. Not because it was with Josy, but because she's the only character who didn't put her cards on the table like everyone else said. She intentionally told half-truths to mislead the MC and player. Josy, Sage, Bella, every other character in a relationship were clear about it (making the MC the bad guy haha).

That said, I don't hate Maya. She's just my least favourite LI. I can understand why other people like her, I just view her differently.

Let's face it. Very few people on this forum have had any interaction with a hot 20 something, let alone them throwing themselves at you.

 

[mickr0]

If you do indeed check through DPC's code you can see that almost every choice has a flag associated to it.

 

[ChipLecsap]

He might have just been joking in response to someone's comment, but look how much time we devote to trying to read his mind, how the fuck can we know?!

we,don't, but we do guess some of the thing right, it's like with tv series or with movies, it's inevitable that some theories eventually will be right. My concern is that, he might afraid to be predictable and therefore He will try to make unnecessary twist, and turns that would not make sense, for the element of the surprise. like the fucking GOT season 8.

 

[Johnyboie]

Man am i the only one who feels like Tommy is a cool dude with a short temper

 

[ChipLecsap]

I know you worship the ground he walks upon...I get it...but, do you really want to go there?

There is lots already that makes no blind bit of sense....need I explain further? (obviously I probably do as you can't see that DPC plainly writes pointless drama for the sake of it either).

You didn't explain anything, you just attacked me. this tell more about you than me.

Come on, it's not "pointless drama" it's fucking entertaining. Without all the drama in this game, it'd be bat shit boring. To quote my own post from a short while back (and this was before episode 6 I think):

This game is rife with drama. It seems everyone's life is overly complicated.

• Arieth has crabs
• Ashley is heart broken
• Camila has become a prostitute and doesn't like herself because of it
• Cathy is resigning from her teaching position because she can't handle the humiliation of being seen naked by everyone
• Chad is most likely ashamed that he is gay
• Neil is still struggling with the loss of his wife after 19 years
• Dawe has a shriveled cock
• Derek finally has genuine feelings for a girl only to screw it up
• Heather is a bitch
• Bella is mental (I'm not even going to speculate what is going on there) - but she did seem happier this entire episode
• Jacob is pretty solid (with crabs)
• Jade is trapped in a loveless marriage with a cheating husband
• Jamie was being blackmailed to stay in a psycho relationship (not sure if Dany was bluffing or it was a legit scare)
• Jill is too rich for her own good and wishes she was poor, plus she might be semi-retarded
• Josy is carrying her friends baggage
• Lynette is dead
• Maya has daddy issues and is being toyed with by Quinn (plus she thinks that people aren't accepting of hot lesbians)
• Melanie is prostituting herself out without considering consequences
• Mona is bailing (not sure if Steven Burke had her kicked out or what that was when he deleted her student account and then she walked off in the rain)
• Steven Burke is a turd who wouldn't know a hot wife even if she hit him with a picture frame
• Quinn is in debt to drug dealers (who seem to be her family but don't cut her any slack)
• Riona is seemingly addicted to drugs and pretty much is just sad (except for that ketchup stain joke)
• Rusty's living in a bubble (although I'd say he's turning it around now with MC's help)
• Sage has anger management issues as well as having gone through a serious breakup
• Sally is addicted to Xanax
• Sarah (see Mel)
• Steve is a cry baby
• Tommy is probably fine, he's just an asshole
• Troy is most likely in the same closet as Chad
• Tybalt is beyond pathetic
• Zoey is probably getting sunburned on some beach somewhere.

Only the strippers seem to have got it together.

What are you implying, that we're all a bunch of basement dwelling incels (or at least virgins, I don't want to get too harsh), who are acting out our fantasies through porn games inbetween online games of (I can't think of a funny FPS so insert your own here), whilst our mommies are doing our laundry ?!?!

To be honest I've never heard you explaining your position. It has always been "He's such a bad writer" and "Drama everywhere", but never an explanation about specifics.

COBD is very good game and my 2nd favorite
not as par with BADIK in story writing and presenting

Katie is only LI that matches/is at par with Jill or vice versa but again story part is where her character lacks

I do like CoBD way above BaDIK simply because it's an actual story. Like with things happening, no melodramatic shit threw to your face without knowing what the real deal is and why your MC seems unable to make what you feel it would be the most obvious choice at important times especially after being given tons of minor choices along the way. Again, it's like watching a good action movie against watching an over-acted soap opera. Sometimes is better to have a good plot with cliché characters than having (trying to have?) polyedric characters and a blurry plot (at least to this point), mainly because when you put all that effort in showing character's behaviour, forced changes on it for plot reasons will be more noticeable for players. But if that's your thing that's OK. My virginal playthrough in CoBD (I don't really like any of the girls there) is one of the most satisfying gaming experiences I ever had, considering the limitations of an indie developer using Ren'py engine (limitations that DPC also masters and overcomes)

 

[AchedCroissant]

Don't worry Derek I'll talk to Ashley for you by the way I feel like we're going to fuck Elena first than JIll
