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

[ename144]

Was thinking the same thing, but I wonder how it will work; will it be a choice, or will it be a non-choice depending on Affinity? In Ep 6, Affinity could be permanently locked in, so perhaps this could be a case where the different choice options are greyed out for those whose Affinity is locked in and both choices will be available if it isn't, or both options will be available whether Affinity is lock in or not, or the choice will be made automatically much like the Cathy choice in Ep 5 and the Lily choice in Ep 6.

Yes, I was wondering if this might be one of the Major Choices for Episode 7. It seems a little bland (given both are theoretically about earning money for the DIKs), and it means helping Bella in the Library would have to be an entirely separate event. Still, we need Major Decisions and this would make some sense.

As for how the big decisions will work in the Permanent Affinity regime, my guess is we'll still potentially get to make them but they will no longer alter our affinity. They will continue to trim down the boxes on the Affinity meter, though. But it will be impossible to remove the final box on a side for which you have permanent Affinity; at that point, you will be forced to pick the choice corresponding to your chosen affinity.

So someone who locked in pure DIK in Episode 6 could make up to 10 CHICK Major Decisions, but at that point (assuming there are still Major Choices to make!) they would be forced to make DIK choices from then on (to preserve that last DIK box). As a result, the status for someone with Permanent Affinity will be slowly constrained as Major decisions wear on (just as they will be for those who are not yet permanent).

We'll see if I'm anywhere close to right... someday.

As for the preview, I wonder about Derek's presence here, too. You'd think he'd go work at the Pink Rose given the choice. Does he follow the MC? Or his he just deliberately trolling Tommy (knowing he can't respond)? Or are we jumping at shadows and the next elderly care visit is mandatory?

I highly doubt Sage would be up for it. Nothing about her character has so far indicated that she'd be into that sort of thing and if DPC did that I'd be both surprised and disappointed.

I don't know. I agree Sage doesn't seem especially interested in girls, and I don't see her getting into any sort of long-term poly situation. But I could see Sage being up for a light foursome where the three girls fool around with the MC a bit. Probably not to the point he has sex with all three, but somewhere close. Sage does claim to have a kinky side and I think she'd enjoy teasing the MC a bit.

It would certainly fit the way he would tell Sage about his birthday during her hangout if he was her fuck buddy. Though if we continue this line of thought, it does raise the interesting question: can we turn down the offer and just spend time with Sage alone? I'd be very curious how Sage responded to that.

All right, I'm calling in all the big brains out there. What is the significance of the fly with Quinn? DPC has four or five shots of this fucking fly buzzing around and landing on Quinn. Is this supposed to signify her impending death? Or is it something else I'm simply not understanding? Certainly, it can't just be that DPC bought a cool-looking fly asset and wanted to randomly throw it in to a scene. Can it?

Spoiler: Fly

Either it's a reference I'm not familiar with, or it's a way to show how out of it Quinn is; she's so focused on her problems she isn't even shooing away the fly.

In fact I think this is one of the few games of the genre where you have to play it several times for that very reason,

Theres one that have a Karma system, But its far from being relevant so far xD

PD: Maybe in ten years itll work.

I think DPC fattened up my Sage in the past couple of episodes. Must be gobbling those beef wieners. I remember in some of the earlier episodes, she was a string bean. Always had the backside, but there's some serious junk in the trunk now.

Sage's ass has had at least 4 different shapes and sizes throughout the course of the game. Which is weird because all the other main girls have been pretty consistent since early on. Hopefully from now on DPC will finally settle on one.

Maybe she's pregnant and the baby is in her ass

AOC

AOC is 14 in Estonia.

If you REALLY want to get creepy, particularly give the reputation of catholic priests, the AOC in Vatican City is 12. Still. Today. And whatever kinky shit you might want to get up to, that is fucking wrong.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Still, we need Major Decisions and this would make some sense.

I hope it's not a Major Choice because I'm one away from becoming DIK Affinity (not permanently, though) and I don't want to be DIK Affinity; I like living on the Neutral planet.

But I could see Sage being up for a light foursome where the three girls fool around with the MC a bit. Probably not to the point he has sex with all three, but somewhere close. Sage does claim to have a kinky side and I think she'd enjoy teasing the MC a bit.

Even then, I don't see her "kinky" side applying to stuff involving other girls or them doing things with the guy she's with/crushing on. We've got Maya, Josy, Quinn, Riona, Nicole, Sandy, and possibly Camila, Lily, Sarah, Melanie, Jade, and Cathy to satisfy the girl/girl itches and don't really need all of them to have a sapphic side. (And yes, I say this still fully believing in the Bella/Jill theory, but that just makes me feel more that it would be best that Sage doesn't have a sapphic side.)

I don't get how this makes any sense. Regarding permanent affinity wouldn't the point of being permanently locked into an affinity mean that your character will automatically make the choice that corresponds with said perma affinity? since you've already shaped your character from now until the end of the game. At least that's how I interpreted it according to the official walkthrough.

Yeah those statistics are largely made up BS, or at least the way they are presented. The difference between conception rates at 25 and 35 is something well under 1%. The "fertility" industry is a multi-billion dollar industry who loves to make women scared about their "ticking clock." It is a lot less of an issue than is generally believed.

Ah, one of those filthy Neutrals? Well, maybe it will be the second Major Choice?

(And yes, I say this still fully believing in the Bella/Jill theory, but that just makes me feel more that it would be best that Sage doesn't have a sapphic side.)

I'm not advocating for it, I'm just saying I see it as plausible given what we know about Sage. (Though I wouldn't put this as particularly sapphic, more like each girl fooling around with the MC in series.)

Obviously this is all speculative, but while you'd be locked in to the DIK or CHICK side of the scale, you might not have full access access to the whole side. Just as you'd lose access to Massive DIK status if you make 4 CHICK choices before gaining permanent DIK Affinity, I'm speculating you could also lose access to Massive DIK status by making 4 CHICK choices after gaining permanent DIK Affinity.

The blurb says choices will still matter, but the game specifies "Your choices." So I don't think they will be made automatically.

 

[Razrback16]

Fuck, every time
this place is ever more crazier

Ya, a new episode is DESPERATELY needed.

 

[godkingxerxes]

The locked affinity isn't going to matter much in the next few episodes, but soon we'll see decisions that require a certain level of DIKitude.

Like we'll see something in episode 13 or so that requires massive DIK, and if you flirt with the light side you won't be able to save the day.

This reputation system is really weird, some scenes need dik or chik, can't be neutral...

Dude should trash the whole reputation system and just use a common sense approach based on your actions with the girls directly and those connected to them.

It's beyond lame you can't simply pursue the girls you like, you need to guess which reputation you need and most likely check a walkthrough

 

[Casmyr]

I just hated the bit where you couldn't beat up Caleb if you didn't fight the jocks. Not fighting the jocks loses you two whole dik points.
But then again it gets you a cool scene with Sage.

I don't understand how that's weird. Neutral is neither DIK or chick, so why would neutral let you do something that you aren't?

Plus neutral is some meta gaming shit, you don't get that playing without a guide or previous knowledge.

 

[Casmyr]

I had to follow a guide to get that Maya scene where she kisses the MC before leaving for Josys date.
Shit I replayed episode 2 like 3 or 4 times

Neutral is the middle ground, if you act like normal as you would in real life, there's a high chance you land there.

How does it make any sense a scene to check out someone requires dik or chick and is locked from neutral?

When do we know it's an episode's transition? What's the deal with those hidden numbers? Most are super hard to find.

 

[bigboi2923]

Isabella > Sage > Jill > Quinn >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Josy & Maya

Hate how I'm forced to give a shit about those 2

 

[SomboSteel]

Isabella > Sage > Bella > Quinn >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Josy & Maya

Hate how I'm forced to give a shit about those 2

did you forget about Jill? or is she so much worse than Josy and Maya that she shouldnt even be listed?

 

[bigboi2923]

I thought her name was Bella, my bad it's early. But she's 3rd
