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

[ename144]

Honestly, I feel that way about all of the LIs. I'm putting off the relationships until the last possible minute. I hate the idea of a college girlfriend before even the mid-way point of the game (and what, only 3 weeks or so of game world time?)! This is college, let's have some fun. Go to parties, have sex, drink, have a good time.

Do we really think our exclusive girlfriend will let us hang out alone with the other girls? I think I'll miss that almost as much as the manwhoring. We can just kiss those movie nights and dorm room hang outs goodbye. Those moments, if any, will be fleeting after you say "I do" to the relationship.

Speaking purely for myself, I'd like the option to commit before the end of Season 2. My main MC is completely committed to the Maya/Josy path; the revelation at the end of Episode 3 sold the situation to me (even through Episode 4's lackluster resolution). I'd hate to see the two break up, but I like each of the girls too. So while the group relationship is obviously difficult and fragile, it also seems like the only real option.

Given that, why pretend this particular MC isn't committed? Two girls is more than enough to juggle. He's already made the choice to pass on the other LIs (romantically at least, they're still friends), so it's grating to hear him waffle about his future plans. Sure, the throuple might not work out, but that's true of pretty much anything.

Having said that, I accept that this is probably not the best use of DPC's limited time and is unlikely to happen; we certainly shouldn't be forced to commit yet (not if we're going ~12+ more episodes). But that's a slightly different argument from not wanting to be tied down voluntarily.

What I wish this game had was some sort of chapter bookmark system in it, like a gallery, where you can go back and watch your favorite scenes, not just the lewd stuff. There's some great scenes in this game with the dialogue that I'm sure people would watch again.

I know it might be a crap idea, but going back to watch the Pink Rose boob test thing or some stuff pertaining to the DIKs and the HOTs or whatever. Just got thinking about this. I'm sure I'm going to get railroaded for it as I nearly do with everything here.

I just save at major milestones for each run (and after mini-games for runs with them turned on). Helps to go back and check scenes. It's a pain to keep all the saves organized, but if you're only doing 1-2 playthroughs it shouldn't be a problem.

Speaking of the mansion do any of you guys ever enjoy the mini games featured in the game , ik i personally don't , i just slog through them for collecting the renders and i feel some are especially annoying like the mouse cursor navigation games ugh but i do like the gender studies memory game and the the english word jumble

I think they're a great way to shake up the gameplay loop, and some of them are quite fun; UI aside, I really like the mansion repair (though it's pushing the bounds of "mini"). But they are annoying when I'm replaying the game to get to a particular scene. So other than my main and some DIK runs (who tend to need a steadier cash flow for some reason), I usually turn them off.

On-topic, Josy over Maya. I think Josy's much more attractive.

Well, that's not saying too much, Josy's the overall best looking girl in the game, IMHO.

Kellerman, I think I plan on doing a separate save with Bella. It breaks ALL my rules about picking one girl and sticking with them no matter what. But doing the rollback choices with Bella and things like that really makes me want to go her route. The more I think about it the more I want to do it.

Now I'm imagining you working yourself up to a near meltdown over your videogame adultery, only to calm down when Bella hugs you MC. (Trust me, it will eventually make sense if you follow through.)

Oh, and welcome back, BTW!

Same. If the MC's life can settle into something of a rhythm where he's basically just doing a lot of the same stuff and going through the motions with nothing major or significant happening that advances the overall plot, the game could skip ahead a few days or even weeks. Or maybe something dramatic happens like the MC getting caught up in something that upturns his life and the story picks up a couple of months later with him now ready to pick up the pieces and move forward.

Did you notice that there was no preview of Maya.

What if the father takes Maya out of college first?
Maybe that's why Josy is in the pool with the Hot's?

Then comes a time jump between EP7 and EP8.
Maya has solved the thing with the father and comes back to the college.

Crazy idea!
The night MC had his blackout, maybe Maya did fake something with MC after all. But somehow something went wrong and when she comes back to college in EP8 she is pregnant.

Brother, your imagination is wild. I love it lol.

 

[drakken]

That would be pretty funny. Can't remember if MC made any comments about still having feelings for her though.

Where are all these Maya fans coming from? We were 5 a few hours ago then six then 7 now 8.

James with new girlfriend in tote, comes back to get his shit, which is whats in the room and shows up while mc is hanging with Bella. Talk about ackward......

Hol up, I thought you were on the Derek/MC post strip club gathering. Now you on team Maya? I can get with it.

Damn you have taste (Riona and Valery)

 

[drakken]

I like Maya. I always have. That said she's been getting more and more goth and less and less friendly each episode. Don't get me wrong, she's dealing with a LOT right now. But i want my golden goddess from episode 1 back. She was such a shining, fun, geniunely nice girl.

Now shes whiny, so so so pale and kind of disturbing. Honestly the sex scene at the party was ok, but Josy was straight fire. The 'threesome' felt so unsexual it was weird. Maybe that was the intent, but since the MC has already fucked Maya, why is she saying stuff like, I'm fucking a boy, it feels weird."

I actually feel DPC had a grand plan for Maya but that fell apart in the first few episodes and frankly, if she doesn't improve the story would be better served by her leaving. I still like her, but she seems unfocused and nothing like the attractive, friendly girl who CARED about people.

U mean emo? there is a huge difference. Emo is like the hipster version of goth.

Hi! Does anyone know when is the release date for the new chapter?

Don't you have a theory about the dog that appeared on the train in episode 2?

 

[godkingxerxes]

Pretty sure that was an alien.

 

[Casmyr]

Pretty sure that was an alien.

It was the dog from the thing.

That's actually an interesting theory/idea. Maya's dad taking her home, he could see Maya being with Josy and trying to force her to come home.

 

[dordicle]

Maybe Jill has a cuckquean fetish

highkey hoping this is the case. that'd automatically make Jill best girl for me

 

[AchedCroissant]

So I would not have thought now that you have such a fetish.

I like to smell them is like a drug

Pretty sure that was an alien.

It was the dog from the thing.

You could see your death from his eyes

 

[PereFourreAss]

highkey hoping this is the case. that'd automatically make Jill best girl for me

A man can dream

Oh the things I would do to Bella in front of Jill

If you ever saw the dogs from Resident Evil,you`ll know how it looks

 

[drakken]

[DarkOs31]

Ahhhh you mean this nasty things where gamers shoot there gamepads on the other side of the room when they jumped through the windows

Yeah they scared the shit outta me when i was younger,sitting in a dark room with your lil brother and playing secretly Resident Evil the first time (cuz you are a BIG BOY now and your parents are sleeping) ...
Thats when you know...Damn im hungry

If there is any consequences in the end of this game, hopefully there is some consequences for Derek as well because he is also responsible for some bad stuffs though. I personally don't have any problem with Derek but i think it's unfair if the MC is the one who gonna face such consequences himself. Beside fucking an old granny, fucking Wendy and other stuffs that he did during the Hell Well, Derek should have face some consequences as well for what he did below :

1. He stole Tybalt's heirloom.
2. He put Tybalt's brush teeth in his ass.
3. He cheated in english and math quiz.
4. He stole the dorm's matress and closet and put them into his room at DIK mansion.
5. He started the fire system at Preps party.
6. He egged the Preps and trepasser at the Preps party as well.
7. He stole one of the Preps' suit and hat.

Of course personally i don't have any problem with Derek but i think its a little bit unfair if the MC is the one who gonna face some consequences himself. Derek should have face some consequences as well to be fair.

fappybeard is the biggest Derrick lover I know. It'll be interesting to see him defend Derricks actions
Especially after I narced on Derrick to Jill about the fire

He lost Ashley, this count? atleast for now, this is a big consequence.

I've said before that I think the Maya we see in Episode 1 is something of a facade she adopts as she starts college: a more confident persona that can freely act on her impulses without all her secret worries that have crippled the real Maya. As time went on and her old world began to intrude more and more into the new one, it became harder and harder for her to maintain the facade. Meanwhile, as she grew closer to the MC she was both more willing to show him her vulnerable side and more desperate for his help.

If so, I have high hopes that someday we'll see the original Maya again after she has solved her problems and can finally be comfortable in her own skin. In essence, her character arc would be to become in truth what she could only pretend to be at first. No idea if that will actually happen of course, but I can cling to stubborn optimism when pushed.

Still, even if I'm right it will be a while before we get there. Unless she's going to get a second character arc (possible, I guess, if this does go 20 episodes), there won't be much for her to do after that. I'm just hoping we can calm things down enough that Maya doesn't need to dwell on her problems 24/7. We caught some glimpses of that in the pre-D&G library scene (or in her interaction with Josy at the start of Episode 6), but who knows how things will play out after the cliffhanger.
