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

[Holy Bacchus]

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'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>

 

[Fcz1]

need help,
i got an error/crash after started second exam?
any solution?

 

[felicemastronzo]

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

stay at the party after the shot battle

are you sure?

I thought it only depended on the choice between her and Camilla

I think it's just the opposite. It's obvious YOU are besotted with Maya and would defend her even if she killed the entire cast with a hatchett. But DPC has never given the player any justification for the MC liking Maya.

 

[TrainHardnett]

That entire thing is just handled very sloppily and plot driven just for the sake of plot. Josy gets less flack then Maya because for the most part she did nothing wrong except for the part of trying to bed MC on their date in ep1 if MC chooses to or not. Maya on the other hand strings along MC and is never honest with him until its too late, doesn't listen to his advice and then cries for help by putting herself in a position she could have easily avoided on her own but gotta be the "pretty damsel in distress". Which is my personal dislike of her character quite a lot as it reminds me of FSN Sakura which is my most hated character in fiction period. And when Josy shows up again she loses all of her character traits she had previously shown just to be an "accessory" to Maya, that is just some bad fan-fiction tier shit not going to lie. The other LIs don't get hate because either their problems are front and center (Sage) or yet to be revealed (Jill and Bella) and MC for the most part knows what he is getting into.

Is the MC in a relationship? No. Does he "taste" the waters to see whats what? Yes. Doesn't it make any irl sense? Hell no. But its a porn game so it really doesn't have to make that much sense. Until MC lands himself into a stable relationship with a LI we can't fault him for having fun.

 

[Darkdevil66]

No, that's just bad writing. DPC chose to make the game long and complicated. Now that he's six episodes in he can't manage his own story.

The overall story is pretty decent and well handled because DPC doesn't need to take most players' choices into consideration for most plots ( Cathy's cluck, Frats rivalry, Diks mansion and leadership, Chad's blackmailing, Quinn's business, Burke...).

As for LI, he still needs to make them relevant to the story even if players dismissed them. They can't just disappear, especially Bella due to her position as teacher and librarian. At least, he handled her well on a no-romanced path, she has become a supportive character with no forced drama. The Yoga session, cooking lesson and library meeting aren't forced or awkward. It's pretty fluid. Unfortunately, he failed to make the others independent. A dismissed Sage barely appears and has weak reasons to interact with the MC. Jill's plot with Tybalt and her future concert are for now pretty irrelevant without the MC. M&J are probably the worst part since they seem doomed to seek for MC's help, no matter what we do.

In contrast, Quinn actually doesn't even need the MC to have her proper storyline. 80% of her scenes don't include him, she's relevant to the overall story no matter what kind of relationship players choose to have with her. Same thing for Cathy, her personal issues have nothing to do with Mc's interest in her. Even minor characters like Lily or Riona showed more and more personality without the MC's grasp.

DPC just needs to write the LI with more balanced. The damsel in distress cliche is indeed bad writing.

 

[Demoness_Kiss]

Meushi either you're joking or you didn't understand that i was implying that when i click the "torrent-link" nothing happens, it only opens(or brings me to) the most recent page...and nothing else happens, that's why i asked

 

[crabsinthekitchen]

are you sure?

I thought it only depended on the choice between her and Camilla

Oh, I forgot. You also have to win the shot battle because otherwise Derek gets too drunk and pukes on Mel. When that conversation in the mall happens, Derek already had that threesome

 

[Holy Bacchus]

I think it's just the opposite. It's obvious YOU are besotted with Maya and would defend her even if she killed the entire cast with a hatchett. But DPC has never given the player any justification for the MC liking Maya.

Attraction is subjective and entirely personal to the individual. Some people can have similar views, traits, etc, as to what they find attractive in a person, but not everyone will view a person the same way. If you don't think that DPC has "given the player any justification for the MC liking Maya" then it's because you don't see it because that's based on your own subjective view on what you find interesting, attractive, and appealing in a person. I have mine and I like Maya, as do others, because that's our subjective view of what we've seen of Maya.

At the end of the day, the main reason why the MC likes anybody in this game is because he's a guy and they're all hot women. We're the only ones who are really trying to find deeper meaning in it.

Is the MC in a relationship? No. Does he "taste" the waters to see whats what? Yes. Doesn't it make any irl sense? Hell no. But its a porn game so it really doesn't have to make that much sense. Until MC lands himself into a stable relationship with a LI we can't fault him for having fun.

Porn game or not, this game could make a lot more sense and it only requires some minor tweaks here and there to do so. It would still mainly abide by porn game logic, but it could have a bit more real logic too.

 

[IcemanVincy85]

I see that Ep4 Threesome choice denied gives many problem to most of us, I try to have a DIK Maya & Josy Path, try to lose less point possible with both girl, using neutral choice when available, but the affinity was too important. In the Preps party i comfort Maya and she say that she was confuse and want to give a chance but Josy disagree, if you help Josy she says that she want to do but Maya doesn't. I don't know if there will be a chance in the next episodes if you're not in the chick/neutral path.

I'm sure that Josy has nothing against a DIK path, Maya is the problem in that case...maybe open a Josy solo path in the future i don't know. I have fun with Nora because in that path nothing happens ahah, i refuse the other girls so the MC has "blue balls"

Why Geralt loves Jennefer?

remember how you all critisised the number of sex scenes in the mansion for being unrealistic?

I dunno, handing a druggie prostitute $5 to have sex with me during which I'm the only one to achieve orgasm seems pretty realistic. Just an average Saturday night for me.

 

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

You're right... Derek put Neil on his to-do-sex-list ... so it's fair if MC bangs his father first

I don't think we've discussed that list very much here. There are some interesting names crossed out.

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?

It is unrealistic, but I don't think anyone complained .

Sage does tell MC he needs better cardio

You think that's bad, try a Jill only Chick playthrough. Virginity and blue balls guaranteed. I'm still trying to schlep through that garbage for the sake of completionism, but my goodness is it terrible. Stuck on ep. 3. Not sure I'm going to make it through.

in reality only with Maya and Josy the affinity is an insurmountable obstacle (and with Quinn but it is a different matter)

with the other Li being of the wrong affinity only makes you miss a few RPs and some scenes or opportunities for dialogue, but the relationship carries it on calmly until chapter 6

I have a full chick run (I only hit Caleb it seems to me) and with Sage everything is fine (in the sense not worse than in other runs)

with Jill you just have to avoid having the dildo helmet on the night she hosts you at her house and there are no big problems

With Bella same speech, just a few forethought and you also take the score at the appointment in the coffee shop (despite Troy and the bartender).

also in this Maya and Josy are completely different from the other LI (but the worst thing for me is that the path as friends is a miserable sadness ... not even birthday wishes ...)

What I mean is I'm pursuing only Jill, no other girls. Why am I doing such an insane thing when I could easily have other girls on a Chick playthrough? I'm operating under the assumption that DPC will block off some Jill content in future episodes for all but the most "pure" of characters. Jill is my least favorite LI, but hey I'm a completionist. I'm obsessed with getting all scenes and dialogue. Wish me luck because...
