VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Deleted member 2528490]

And we're back.

Quick summary of my thoughts/responses to some of the stuff posted/discussed over the 3 days I was away.

• Sage doesn't know about either the drugs or the prostitution.
• The MC might fuck Heather but there's no path for her.
• A Josy/Jill/MC threesome will not happen, nor will a Josy/Jill couple.
• The MC will not play pretend boyfriend to Maya.
• Lynette is dead and her coming back does not serve the plot in any way.
• Cathy resigned of her own volition because of the Cluck, nobody forced her to.
• Neil is the MC's Dad.
• Any pregnancies will be in the endgame epilogues.
• The Cluck was not an attack on Cathy, it was an attack on the DIKs and she was an unfortunate victim in that.
• Vinny wasn't behind the Cluck, nor were the Jocks or Nerds.
• No one person/group is fucking over the DIKs or the Jocks.
• Quinn and Vinny are not rivals, he just does better than her and it annoys her.

• The MC will not play pretend boyfriend to Maya.

If you're on M+J Path then surely Maya would rather have you introduced to her father, as her boyfriend than Josy as her girlfriend.

That image disgusts me, I don't know why

 

[InfiniteIgnorance]

Y'know, at this point I have to wonder. What's really compelling you to go on these longwinded, asinine tirades: Your hatred of the character or you're actually losing sleep over the fact that there are people out there who genuinely like her?

You missed the point entirely. I would prefer if Quinn were a primary LI. In fact, I would have preferred her over Maya and Josy, who bore me to fucking tears. She's far more intersting, or at least she has the potential to be far more interesting. It's the fact that she is a "side chick" that is annoying the shit out of me.

My only real issue with that is the Maya/Daddy story is main plotline that all players experience. And that seems like a fairly significant deviation point.

Welcome back Mr. Pink Cake... When we can play season 7 ?

Except the problem with that is more forced interaction for those not on their path and not interested in them. If DPC really wants to piss people off then this would be the way to go, but I would hope that they have more sense than this. It's also really cheesy and formulaic and even I as a Maya and M&J throuple fan would not like it either because of that.

Welcome back Mr. Pink Cake... When we can play season 7 ?

"Season" 7 probably won't be for another 10 years at this point, but Episode 7 is out this Friday.

 

[OFT]

My work has been freakin' insane for the past 5 days, and my sleep cycle has been thrown totally off track. When my alarm went off this morning, I thought it was Thursday, and my first thought was, "SHIT! Ep. 7 comes out tomorrow, and I haven't finished my main save do-over!"

What has my life become?

...OK, enough of that. Time to get moving on that save.

DPC has no problem forcing actions on the MC. That shit starts with the date with Josy that you're required to go on.

The Josy date doesn't really annoy me. They had a crush on each other all summer. But even if the MC is a DIK and or passive with Maya, she still kisses him after the cumpetition. That I do not get...

That shit date made sense narratively, though. An MC rejected by Maya/Josy pretending to be Maya's boyfriend doesn't.

She kisses him again outside, even if you tell her to fuck off with her list.

Derek even comes up and said I thought you weren't interested in her, to which MC replies, Lazy Writing!

So... now your mad she's not a li? Not her worthiness of being liked?
It was "no redeeming value" right?

great news I think elite patreon members will play first right ?

 

[NoNameNeeded]

I have to make you guys earn the renders like on Fri ill share bits of the mega link and you guys will put it together

This is what makes you 6ix9ine or some othe mumble rapper while SomboSteel is Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog or R.A the rugged man.

Sure Mumble rappers rap and try to claim being OG:s but everyone with an ounce of taste knows the truth.
Money and being flashy doesn't equal skill and talent.

Yes, well, if DPC would actually give Quinn an identity she would probably have redeeming values. Tell us about Quinn's family. Where is she from? How did she end up at B&R? Why is she a punk girl? Is she into the music? Does she like movies? Books? What's her favorite food? If the MC were going to buy her a gift what would she like? If she could get away from the drugs and prostitution shit, would she? If Sage left could she even run the HOTs without getting them shut down?

There's just so much DPC could do with Quinn and he's basically pissed away that opportunity to tell us boring bullshit about other characters.

Exactly. That was necessary because she's a main LI which means players needed a moment with her to generate a potential liking towards her and they were also 2 people who had a crush on each other, so why wouldn't they go on a date? It would be pretty poor storytelling and game design if we're told by the MC himself that he has a crush on Josy and then we can decide not to go on a date with her.

Technically, but we'll get it too.

 

[AchedCroissant]

It depends on how early the King SomboSteel gets up

Three days.

Friday, 3 more days.

Was it actually announced? Or just the general best guess consensus?
