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

[lemonfreak]

Lot of whiny bitches in the thread recently, D&G was a fun diversion, I especially enjoyed the different ways in which the LIs reacted to MC's charm based on relationship status.

And to everyone moaning that those sex scenes weren't real, I've got news for you, none of the scenes are real . What was really good was it allowed DPC to cram in far more scenes than was feasable in such a short space of time, remember how you all critisised the number of sex scenes in the mansion for being unrealistic?

 

[Gladheim]

That's completely beside the point. None of the characters have any knowledge of what's happening in future episodes. This was a discussion of why the MC would remain friends with M&J after the events leading up to the end of episode 4.

It is not out of place, you must forget what happened in chapter 4 and focus on the now and now if the Mc is with them they are all happy and I would say that they love him more than each other. And if you are not with them, you are their friend, although the plot suggests that Mc and they still feel things for each other and that cannot be avoided for now, it is done like that and that's it.

 

[Meushi]

How absurd would be to think that Quinn might get more space within the VN from now on? She's been on the banner with the LIs, her backstory was the opener in ep. 6, and the MC is getting quite close to her, as we can see from her scene and the phone messages where Quinn offers free specials and agrees to hang more with the MC.

How much of a long shot would be to think that she may join the RP system? It wouldn't be the weirdest thing to see it starting in ep. 7, right?

Yes other variables could be used to setup RP points mid-game, but that seems extraordinarily unlikely given DPC has already established her role in the story. If he planned for her to be a LI he would have made his coding job easier by incorporating Quinn RP from the start.

Once again, the discussion is about why would MC make a decision at the end of episode 4. How can things that happened after episode 4 effect his decision in episode 4?

Meushi I can not quote your post...

I also don't think Quinn is a LI, she's too far from Mc's world even if MC was a DIK.

but we cannot deny that a Quinn route already exists, made up of exclusive scenes and dialogues, it is probably just the preamble to her dramatic exit from the scene

On the rejection path, it is a little hard to square that with any sort of logic which is why there shouldn't have been a rejection because it muddies things up too much, but on the friendship path, it makes a bit more sense.

I honestly found it amusing how many times the MC got off in one night in that episode, and honestly, this episode actually gave me a newfound appreciation for Ep 5 because we got some good, revelatory moments in that episode with main LIs and side girls, plenty of action in the real BaDIK world on all paths, and there was quite a hopeful, optimistic feel to the episode which was kind of lost in Ep 6.

I agree that the most interesting part is the reaction of the different girls you have attempts to charm, Jill reacts really bad, the only one if I'm not mistaken.

but you can't compare the fifth chapter sex marathon with this one.

in the fifth chapter aside from Lily, we learn something about all the girls we manage to have sex with, even in the case of secondary characters like Camilla.

in the D&G match we find out nothing, and no one finds out about MC.

if it's purely for sex scenes i look elsewhere, from a game i expect a minimum of involvement, otherwise pornhub best game ever

I'll try one more time and then I'm giving up. Why does the MC love Maya and Josy? Or why does he even like Maya & Josy? What's his motivation? What have we seen in the game that would engender any positive feelings at all for these two character's?

Why Geralt loves Jennefer? why Shepard loves Liara or Tali? why Arthur Morgan loves his ex? why why why... its a game and it's made like that, you may like it or not. But I myself have felt things for those two in a couple of hours playing a game so why can't Mc can feel something much deeper in a few weeks or months in Josy's case?

Can I answer you cynically without offending you and making you lose your patience?

for the same reason that on average any other female character falls in love with MC (and vice versa)

I share most of your reasoning from the point of view of emotions and reactions, but we cannot forget the context

if it's okay that after three years of abstinence Bella suddenly can't resist in the same room with MC without putting her hand on him, then it's credible that you fall in love and forgive each other within half a day

times are ultra-compressed and feelings are always strong and direct

Josy doesn't lie, but she omits several things from him.

overall she is no more honest than Maya, the difference being that Maya constantly asks him for help while Josy is not.

the two girls are not honest with each other either.

nothing or anyone saves them from this

I think that the worst thing was that Maya said that she had a boyfriend and then says that she doesnt have one when the things between her and the MC start to "heat up". Thats makes the MC think that she is giving him signals that she is more than available to be with him. So Maya omits and lies to the MC after she says to the MC in episode 1 that the MC should promise to always be honest... And she had multiple opportunities to confide in the MC.

With Josy its different, because she says after you kiss that she is in a relationship and never retracts it, so it is the MCs choice to actually pursue a relationship with her despite that. And she is far away from the MC for ep 1-3, so she didnt have an opportunity to tell the MC anything after their date.

Im not saying that Josy didnt do anything wrong, but it is still, in my opinion, not as worse as Maya did

Anyone know the conditions that needs to be met in order for Derek to have a threesome with Arieth and Jacob? I had multiple playthroughs in where he fucked her and in other ones he didn't. It's not gamebreaking but it did catch my interest

when you hunt for the naked guard you have to advise Derek against hitting Camilla

No, I agree with you those other things are just as unbelievable, as well as a hundred other things in this story, like Sage and Chad, or that a woman lays her thigh on a man's crotch and doesn't understand what she's touching, and etc. That's why I say that this is a very poorly written story. It's not enough to just state that this is the way it is, in writing a story you have to show in a believable way your characters acting in accordance with THEIR character as you the writer have created it. If DPC were writing a character as a flirty girl I could believe the thigh thing, but Maya? No way. That's where this story fall's apart.

at first I thought so too, but playing it again I changed my mind

we are really close to responsibility, Maya has the justification for her problems and Josy thinks she never has to deal with her choices, since she is convinced that she has to give up the BR (which is quite a cowardly way of behaving)

I forgive everything to Maya except the post grinding, where she doesn't feel the need to apologize but thinks she can still ask for help

but let's not talk about the past

That's because it's a quote from a previous post. Click on Meushi said & it will take you to the original post, where you can quote stuff.

The relevant text is within the Quinn spoiler. I agree Quinn is an important & interesting character, but not a LI (has no RP, imo unlikely to ever get RP).

I am a newbie to these games, I started in May, in my experience it is a very widespread problem


for me BADIK, with its flaws, remains a much above average game

I'd say we do learn something about Lily; she likes nice guys. She'll give the MC a free blowjob if he didn't finger her ass and if you don't hev DIK affinity. Also, he gets her a bottle of Tequila because she mentioned it on Rooster and all the responses from the Pink Rose about how he's a nice guy are amusing.

I'll try one more time and then I'm giving up. Why does the MC love Maya and Josy? Or why does he even like Maya & Josy? What's his motivation? What have we seen in the game that would engender any positive feelings at all for these two character's?

If you can't see it, then they're obviously not your type, but they are the MC's type because his type seems to be just about anybody. We've seen lots of moments in the game where he spends time with them and their bond develops, also they're hot and he's a young, virile guy, so it's not hard to see why he'd go for a lot of the girls in this game when they all look this hot.

There's plenty here to engender positive feelings, but if that didn't happen for you, well then that's you, but it happened for the MC and it happened for players too. The main issue is here, as it is with so much of the game, is that it forced a lot of drama on the MC with lots of characters, even if the player has chosen to largely avoid certain characters. It tends to skirt over establishing logical reasons why the MC continues to be as heavily involved with certain characters, and had it done a better job at that, then we would't be having these discussions.

I think that the worst thing was that Maya said that she had a boyfriend and then says that she doesnt have one when the things between her and the MC start to "heat up".

That's hardly the "worst" thing, let alone something that can be considered all that egregious. It's a typical defense mechanism used by women to rebuff a guy when they're not interested in them and it happens all the time. Maya simply realises fairly quickly that she can trust him and that she doesn't have to be dishonest with him in this regard. It does make the MC think he's got a chance, but she also doesn't object to the idea when he says it's "too late" for him to not be interested in her so she seems pretty open to the idea, even at this early stage.

Not sure what's up with that, as I've never had that issue, sorry...
I'm wondering if you may have to re-download. In case for some reason your download corrupted.
Usually a corrupted archive will give errors when unpacking though. *shrugs*

Make sure you've download the latest, zip-archive file.. I just downloaded from both anonfile, and uploadheaven, to test..
(dropmefiles link wasn't working for me, files removed) I use 7zip to unpack archives.
To iron out filestructure issues, I suggest unpacking as close to root as possible;
ex: x:\VN\*** <--- final folder before the one with the executable, \game, \lib, and \renpy folders.

Anyways.. on both the versions from anonfile, and uploadhaven, I was able to load up my previous saves.
and skip through episode 6 no props.

What I always do myself every update, is play to the end, then roll back, and manual save just before the summary.
Load that save on next update. And so on.

I always use the full version downloads, and then load up the manual save in next game version..

If you're able to... Start up version 5.1 make a save before the end of episode summary.. (if still got a copy around)

Load that save in 6.1.

See if that helps..

Otherwise, if you select "skip unseen text" in preferences, you can pretty much go through a new playthrough in matter of about half an hour, if wanna test further. (to figure if it's a save, or game issue)

Otherwise I'm out of ideas man.. :/

I thoug until now that the saves are only in game/saves.... So I extracted the project again in separate directory, but didn't copied the saves. And if I go in to load option, all of my old saves are there... So I found out they are also saved in c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\BeingaDIK<hash>
