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

[felicemastronzo]

I said it before. The lack of "serene moments", as you put it, is what's keeping me from being especially fond of Maya. Josy is clawing her way up the ranks when it comes to my preferences and 95% of the reason why is how she is during downtime.

Maya just hasn't had any truly significant time spent one-on-one with the MC since like Ep2. I even took the movie date with her the wrong way since it became a vehicle for talking about MC's mother. Maya needs more time being Maya. Not being a lightning rod for drama.

I don't see it as a question of Maya or Josy, but there is a real need for "happy" communal moments, if with sex better

the private moments they had after the big decision, at least for me, always have a clandestine taste, of betrayal towards the absent third party, I've never fully enjoyed them (although for example the scene with Josy in the fifth is absolutely one of the best in the game)

In fact it seems that we are getting further and further away from a happy ending as we privately date the two girls, even trying to maintain a balance (the game plan is strongly inclined towards Josy in this).

Good day my fellow gentlemen. The ultimate tier list has arrived. Let the toxicity begin! Godspeed!

Behold you fellow heathens. The one and only sacred tier list (that matters) has been updated.
Take in these truths and make they wash you free from the sins that plague your heart!

 

[shinkei]

That is one of the things that is really starting to irk me. You can't follow any pre-established character logic to obtain a sought after positive result. Ex. Up until the Jill/Sage dilemma, we have been taught that Jill values people who show concern for others in need. What exemplifies that more than babysitting a sick friend? That decision to help a sick friend should have been an insta RP boost with Jill....but nope, DPC says minus two points for you fucko. That minus would be more understandable if Sage wasn't sick and MC blew off Jill to go have some of that gushing, freckled carrot juice.

A second example (one that maddens me even more) was that my canon massive DIK MC who was cool with being FB, does an about face and walks out of the room when Sage is ready for action. Did I suddenly forget I'm a manwhore? And what is this shit with Sage turning from Sith to Jedi? You ain't Darth Vader. All of a sudden she is more CHICK than Jill with her over-effusive concern for Maya (whom she didn't care about two minutes earlier). Evil players only had one DIK-centric main LI (Sage) and now that is apparently over. DPC might as well do the deed and finally promote Quinn to main girl status so at least we can have something evil in this world.

I wish I could give you multiple likes for this comment. I have felt this way more and more as well. I revoked my MC's DiK card when he decided to walk out of that room.

Renders are great, story is sometimes great, music is great, but I don't understand why force some scenes to the MC, even when he clearly goes after not that girl.

Bert's number sequence is solved. See screenshot.

I've mostly been working on animations this week, and I managed to build a decent render queue that will last a while.

In the past, I usually produced animations with a 1-2 second length as a standard. These days approximately 75% of the animations are at least 4 seconds long, all thanks to the upgraded hardware that you've helped me acquire.

So far, I have started working on and/or completed work on 9 lewd events. Episode 8 will have plenty of lewd scenes but also a lot of story content.

Next week I will be working on static renders and likely continue to write. I have a few new environments that I need to design that I look forward to.

We will kick off July with the poll that many consider the best one, "Special renders - Main girls". The winner of this poll will get a special render set in episode 8. A reminder for this poll is that it's been redesigned to make the game content more balanced. Sign up as a $10 patron to participate.

Have a nice weekend

You know the development of a game is so good people "complain" about stuff like door numbers instead of delays and code plus render bugs

Oh I complain about the delays too. 5 to 6 months is too long.

Maya being a lightning rod for drama IS Maya being Maya.

Don't you think the inspector himself doesn't like Jill? He pays less attention to her and seems to deliberately talk about her last.

Which Inspector are you talking about?

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Chad is gay because its considered a "clever" twist what no one thought about. Maya and Josy the fake lesbians are just there for drama. Maya is the main drama queen in this one, because she loves to suffer She has no money, and debt, but does she is working? Noooooo. Does she whine about that? Yeeees.

 

[PashafromRussia]

Chad's coming out doesn't really affect anything. Unless Sage gets even more angry and maybe their relationship will move from an open point. I wonder if MC will tell the truth or keep silent and how it will affect in the future.

 

[ChipLecsap]

The game establishing that MC has Fighting skills, but every time you use this, the game makes you a "Dik" for standing up for yourself.
Dawe start a fight with you and when others arrive you either beat them or run away like a pussy, it is not help that MC will run away either way and will be called bitch , even if you beat them.
Tybalt bitch slap you, but sure you should not put him in to his place at all
Tommy punch MC , but sure He should not beat his ass either.
the only fight that MC start is with Caleb, but even there you feel like a pussy if you walk away instead of put him in to his place after his provocative behaviour

this alone 4 major decision. and then we can ask what kind of a horny young adult male will not party without limit in a strip bar, if you have a chance.?
Rejecting Tommy's fake id also seem like not only a pussy but asshole move, after all he try to make up to you for his previous behaviour.

You should also wonder Why MC should give a fuck about Steve since he was an asshole right from the get go .
yeah ,right because all of this action grant you a Chick affinity which is affiliated with most of the love interest. that is a different question that they don't know, nor they are affected by these decisions. After all it does not matter how you behave with your love interest , but how you behave with other people's.
it seems you can't be a decent person in their eyes if you have Dik affinity, but getting involved with all of them in Chick affinity is not despicable in their eyes.

It's not offensive, it is stupid. Chad is gay because its considered a "clever" twist what no one thought about. Maya and Josy the fake lesbians are just there for drama. Maya is the main drama queen in this one, because she loves to suffer She has no money, and debt, but does she is working? Noooooo. Does she whine about that? Yeeees.

How is "Chad being gay" stupid? All the signs were there, people had guessed it months in advance, so it wasn't a "clever twist", it was a well defined expectation.

It just is what it is, a girl the mc likes was in a doomed relationship of convenience (convenience at least for Chad) because he wanted to disguise his sexuality (we're assuming his motives, because we don't really know them yet). Not everyone who is gay is thrilled about having to come out to their peers, and obviously Chad's peers are a bunch of neanderthals who respect him now but he doesn't imagine they would if they knew the truth.

It's not like last minute DPC decided, "Haha, if I made Chad gay these losers playing my game would be so shocked!". It's been set up since the mc first met Chad and Sage. You may have missed the signs, but just read back through this thread and you'll see heaps of discussion about it way before it was revealed. Here's a few (and it'll highlight just how much evidence there was to suggest Troy and Chad were together):

Josy's definitely not a "fake" lesbian, she's quite obviously bi. Plus she's not just there for drama. She was the mc's crush all summer and was the catalyst for the mc's "just follow your heart" attitude when he admitted he liked her even though they were unlikely to see a lot of each other in the future.

Maya is definitely needy, but that's because her life is unnecessarily complicated. This conversation has been done to death on this board. Maya's dad has controlled her for most of her life, she even tells Josy she's never had a job and that her dad would be against her getting a summer job.

She's not used to standing on her own two feet, she usually does as she's told. Now things have gotten out of hand with her interfering father, she's handling it poorly because she hasn't been equipped with skills to cope with this kinda shit. She'll learn, she's got friends that will help her. That's what the stories all about, the mc helping his friends, that, and fucking.

It's fine that you don't like certain characters (you're definitely not alone in your disdain for Maya in particular), but remember different characters appeal to different players. Maya has her fans since they liked her from the start and they want the mc to help her out. They feel sympathetic towards her plight. If you're not a particularly empathetic character, there's always Bella and Sage.

Because the game often makes you feel like that ? . The game establishing that MC has Fighting skills, but every time you use this, the game makes you a "Dik" for standing up for yourself.
Dawe start a fight with you and when others arrive you either beat them or run away like a pussy, it is not help that MC will run away either way and will be called bitch , even if you beat them.

it seems you can't be a decent person in their eyes if you have Dik affinity, but getting involved with all of them in Chick affinity is not despicable in their eyes.

The MC's dad taught him to defend himself, not to attack people. With Dawe and Chad it was unquestionably self defence, but beating up Troy or the other jocks was unnecessary and was just the mc lashing out (like a 'DIK').

As much as I hate Tybalt, the mc had just gate crashed his party and totally fucked it up, probably costing him money when the party was meant to be raising money.

Tybalt may or may not have received the donations the party was aimed at raising, and insurance possibly covered the cost of anything the sprinkler system mat have damaged (after you pay the excess), and he'd still have to pay the HOTs for their services. To top it off, the mc is mouthing off at him in his wet suit that may or may not be damaged from the water (there may not have been a drycleaners open at that time of night).

So Tybalt slapped the mc. He fucking deserved it. To turn around and punch Tybalt in the face, knocking him to the ground, after all the shit the mc had just pulled, was definitely a DIK move (and totally satisfying).

Tommy snapped and punched the MC. He didn't start "fighting" him, it was just one punch and he was just as shocked himself. The mc didn't have to go all Jean Claude Van Damme on his ass (although Tommy had been a cockhead for most of the game so it was still satisfying to beat him flawlessly). To be honest, the MC should have just hit Tommy back and called it even, but Tommy being a DIK probably wouldn't have just accepted that. So, kinda a DIK thing to beat the fuck outta Tommy over that... Definitely debateable.

Fighting Caleb was all about ego. I totally wanted my mc to look like a badass, taking on that monster in front of everyone.

"Partying without limits", I gotta say, who the fuck didn't choose that option?! We're talking ass fucking Nicole here! (Of course that's only an option if the mc's a massive DIK...)

The whole fake ID thing seems like a rite of passage. I personally stopped going to nightclubs as frequently once it was legal. Usually you just get turned away if the bouncers suspect you're bullshitting. I never knew of anyone to get into any trouble.

I'll never understand the Steve scene. He'd been a cunt for so long, if he was snivelling away in another room I'd just walk away. Seriously, it has nothing to do with me and the guy doesn't deserve any attention, plus the mc wasn't gonna see him again most likely...

The whole DIK/Chick thing is really just a novelty. I think it's a novel idea to help drive the story in different directions, but it can't appeal to everyone (there's nothing in this world that appeals to everyone).

MC has fighting skills, but in the story MC was asked to use it only for self-defense and nothing else. Fighting with Chad and Dawe does not give you DIK status, affinity or points. He is defending himself. If MC tries to get physical first, it is regarded as a DIK move.

I think of DIK MC as merciless and CHICK MC to be kind of forgiving and wise.

DIK MC will have bad consequences, Best eg Jade sex video. And I am not saying that these lowly boys like tommy and tybalt shouldn't be given a lesson, but being physical isn't the only method

Neil asked MC to use the fighting skills for self-defense. If he hadn't, maybe these actions wouldn't be DIK move.

As for the other parts, shazba explained them well.

We never gonna be agree with the Tybalt situation. . Cobra Kai for life .
Let's be factual here it may help. Derek ruined the Party, MC surely could have stopped him, but all in al it was just a set up for the worst storyline of the game the Jill / Tybalt, blackmail plot. so actually MC did nothing wrong, surely he was not invited, but then again fact is Jill said he is free to come whenever he wants, . but all he did was just having sex with girl, smoking weed, and drink tequila and champagne.
so Tybalt hit first, He was the aggressor, MC was just reacted. It is you personal moral of how you see this action. to Me its very simple, I will not walk away without a word after someone slap me. Especially if it's a person like tybalt who look at other peoples who are less fortunate than him as piece of shit.

The only time where MC is the agresso is truly the Caleb situation. Even though I did not beat Troy, even in that situation its Troy who is the aggressor. Tommy the same.

 

[Darkdevil66]

Deep down, the MC is still the same guy caring for his dad, his friend and his frat, kinda novice in love affairs, encouraging the Diks to be more responsible. The whole rebound guy thing and the M&J drama proved he's deep down a snowflake and a drama queen no matters what his affinity is.

While the Chick tends to be more empathic, the DIK speaks with no filter but it's not like he really intend to harm others or being condescending. One could say, the Chick plays safe. He avoids conflicts, wants no trouble and acts more carefully (no drugs, no strippers, no sex service, no affairs with a teacher...). His attitude may be more responsible because he takes the consequences into considerations. On the other hand, the DIK is clearly hedonist and more open minded to new and risky experiences even if he usually doesn't consider the potential consequences. The Chick path will probably be more rewarding in the long term, especially with the LIs but for now, it's kinda frustrating. For example, the whole ID thing. The player has an opportunity to bound with Tommy, have a thing with Nicole, Sandy & Nora and even notice Cathy and Jade. But the Chick MC just stays home, doing... nothing. It's not just about sex scenes, the guy doesn't have any specific scene or interaction with anyone. He learns nothing, he just stays there. The Episode felt shorter for no reason.

Not to mention the way the Chick faces adversity. I mean it's not like violence is always the answer, in fact I would have enjoyed it if he actually used reason or tricks to deal with his opponents but he didn't. He's just totally passive about it. Every time someone physically or verbally abuse him, he either runs or lets it slide. He acts like a complete bully magnet, never standing up for himself. I don't mind the fact he comforts Steve even if the guy is an ass. Showing compassion isn't a pussy move. That's just proved he's a decent guy who holds no grudge but you don't deal with bullies and jerks by doing nothing. The way he let Troy, Tybalt or the alphas bully him is kinda sad and irritating.

 

[jlachman]

Was perusing the interwebs today and came across a model named Svetlana Bilyalova that is nearly a dead ringer for Jill. My jaw nearly hit the floor when I saw the picture of her. I know the DAZ assets are what DPC uses, but I can't help but wonder if maybe there was a little outside inspiration that framed her particular look. Anyhow, I thought it was quite coincidental but interesting.
