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

[M00nSh1ne_X]

It's Melanie not Melinda.

It's Mel

Reading the official guide of the game from beginning to end you realize that Josy is not Dik and she does not like people with that affinity because there are several times that she takes points from you and in fact I give you an example from the first episode

She is more Neutral-Chick

Being a DIK sometimes let's the MC day other things than being a CHICK. Maybe Josy finds them tasteless when they're not that close yet. Probably most girls do.

This selection always worries me.
Derek is combative, Sage has the arm pose and Bella looks angry with her arms crossed.

On my current Quinn run I still have the option for Bella. Damnit too hard to let her completely go. Still not sure what to do with her.

Damn. Patrick might be a bigger pig than we thought. Derek and Maya might not be his kids either. That would also eliminate incest. Look at this picture. Derek has his left hand on Patrick's ass. Remember the English assignment where 6 letters come out herpes? Look at Patrick's lower lip.

Maya is holding her left forearm. To the right of Maya, the ground is churned up. Derek and Patrick's suits are dirty and both may have a blue left eye.

He's just a scumbag who doesn't want to touch his gay daughter. Also think that is a pretty standard way of standing on a photo (Derek)

Looking at the game I could say that Quinn is the main character (she is not even considered LI and yet she has the biggest development in the game and shares all the characteristics of a LI) or M&J, who go through the whole game from scene one.
And yet I think it's choral enough to not have one character over another at the LI level.

Whatever it is, Quinn is always my main LI. Except of course on the chick run, but then I still try.

Fine gentlemen of this lovely establishment, a quick question if you will. *Ahem*





The hottest HOT?

I think I just answered that Do like me some Sage as well tho.

 

[ChipLecsap]

I honestly can't agree one single bit on that. Josy is so... bland, so... plain. She legit has nothing on for her, literally nothing aside from M&J... and too me that always has been incredible shoed horned by DPC so that Josy could have a role in the story... and its being a plot device in Maya's. IDK, even on episode 1 I was like... meh. Especially after the MC goes to college I legit forgot she existed and I would skip the travel back home and that non GF date if it was possible. She's by far the least interesting LI in what is supposed to be a drama story, my man. Its obviously just my opinion, and I dont wish to have a waifu war.

That is one way to look at it, but I would not dismissing everything that seniorboop said
first of all Badik is foremost a comedy with Drama elements, unlike acting lesson wich was a more Drama focused game. While I agree that Josy seems less developed and may be blank or more specifically just regular, or average. The only Drawback of Josy is truly her connection to Maya, without that Josy alone easily the Best Girlfriend material of all. thanks to the fact, what you find boring , is that she comes without stupid annoying Drama. She exactly what you get as seniorboop pointed out. She is a hot girl, the typical Girl next Door, who fall in love wiht MC loves the sex wiht him, and can be a stable college couple, everything you would want in real life at this age.

Unlike with the other girls.
Sage, who is obsessed with her ex BF, and can't figure out all this time he is Gay, which is funny considering the Gay jokes she throw at MC if, he not grab her ass, or dont want to fuck her .
Jill, who literally living in bubble and seemingly have zero idea about real life, and the top of that she has an obsessed Stalker.
Maya, the oppressed girl by her family with the piece of shit father.
Bella, the lonely housewife who hopefully secretly a Dominatrix .
or Quinn and her companions, who are drug addict, drug dealers, and willing to fuck with anyone who give them money.
compared to them Josy is indeed, the most bland, plain and simple. and Yet as of if right now, - this could easily change, - but seemingly the most Healthy and regular Relationship.
and That is one of the main appeal of her, just a regular hot girl with a regular Main MC living their college life. They Study, the party they having Sex. without all the unnecessary drama, that should not even concern the MC most of the times.
That is Why Josy is the best girl

 

[Oliver Wendell Homely]

It's a possibility, and DPC says it's the character he most enjoys writing.
His evolution ate the evolution of the other characters, so he could easily be the first one he imagined.
We'll see in about 5 years what he'll say about that... I only ask that he leaves me a good ending with M&J and another one with Sage.

I thought DPC said that Derek was the character he most enjoyed writing, not Quinn.

 

[`Ray`]

I thought DPC said that Derek was the character he most enjoyed writing, not Quinn.

Well He enjoy's writing Both.

"The characters I do enjoy writing for the most are, in no particular order: Derek, Quinn, Isabella and Jade. Derek is an outlet for my juvenile sense of humor, Quinn lets me be a manipulative puppet master and Isabella & Jade let me use a different kind of vocabulary."

BTW, these Static often surprise me.
I mean, Maya having the most renders and dialogue, that not a surprise, She has a very heavily prominent presence through the game. But for Example Josy does not have this feeling, its give you de illusion She is barely in the game, and Yet she is in the 3rd place, even though it does not give you this feeling, like I feeling I have more screen time with Jill. May be because those time you spend with Josy may be less, but longer? contain more renders and words. Interesting for sure

Josy talks a lot, at every opportunity

take for example the beginning of chapter four, Maya stammers something, while Josy is a river in flood, saying and contradicting herself.

She's always talking and talking to everyone, whether it's Jill, Becky, Sage....

 

[seniorboop]

not when you get payed by the hour instead of getting payed by productivity!

if you want people to work smarted you gotta change the incentives and penalties!

That's still working harder. Just because you've automated parts of your workload to finish faster doesn't mean you have to report it.

That was a rookie mistake i've learned from in my first corporate job. The lie of the meritocracy. Automate as much as possible and dont speak a word to anyone about it! LPT for everyone.

Get your money and do as little work as possible, it's my new mantra. Haven't noticed a single difference in any way in comparison to the days where I would voluntarily overload myself due to my false belief that taking on more meant I would be recognized more.

I honestly can't agree one single bit on that. Josy is so... bland, so... plain. She legit has nothing on for her, literally nothing aside from M&J... and too me that always has been incredible shoed horned by DPC so that Josy could have a role in the story... and its being a plot device in Maya's.

Is it really any different than Jill? She hardly serves a narrative purpose in the story and her drama makes little sense when you consider everything surrounding it.

Burke would never allow Tybalt to bring legal attention to B&R when there's a prostitution and drug ring he would be implicated in. If authorities investigated the party and the reasoning behind why Derek & MC did what they did, it wouldn't take a genius to start uncovering things they'd never expected. Quinn does not do a very good job at subtlety.

Drama for the sake of drama hits just as soft as the lack thereof. Jill's sacrifice is pointless, if that's how we're going to perceive the value of the LIs.

 

[hyfka]

without that Josy alone easily the Best Girlfriend material of all. thanks to the fact, what you find boring , is that she comes without stupid annoying Drama.

But her major flaw is that she ditched the MC for Maya. At that point if the MC puruses her futher that makes him a bitch imo.

Quinn and her companions, who are drug addict, drug dealers, and willing to fuck with anyone who give them money.

I'm sorry my dude but I just can't see how being hung up on an Ex (Sage) could be worse than literally dating someone else and rejecting the MC (Josy).

And while Quinn is evil (the manipulating, not the drug/sex stuff), the polar opposite would be Jill (maybe, I think Quinn has benn more honest and open with the MC than Jill.)

Josie is... just there. She goes along with everything and doesn't even seem to have any kind of personal agenda.
Whatever happens around her, Josy just shrugs and doesn't react.

 

[JETracktor]

So, Josy knows about Josie existence? What a twist!

I think probably Jill is going to have a bigger role in the future because of Quinn and Sage. My assumption is that in the future, the prostitution and drug ring of Quinn is going to blow up (Chekhov's gun), and since Burke is involved, he is going to protect Quinn. So the one that is going to be left holding the baby is Sage, since she's the president of the HOTs and Burke and Quinn are going to put the blame on her. She´s going to ask for help to Isabella, and Isabella to Jill, since she's a Royce. So, if you are in Sage's path, better have a good relationship with Isabella and Jill. Also the posible witnesses (Mona, Riona, Camilla...) and Jade, since she´s the wife of Burke. It´s a possibility.

Josy rejecting MC is not her major flaw, it is MC's major flaw . as of it right now it seem aside from Sage, every main girl eventually will feel that something is off with Dik MC , so may be it is MC's fault

 

[AchedCroissant]

Could you give me an example of this? Because the last time I played I didn't have much contact with her, and almost every time the MC is with her he is drugged or something else.

Josy has few upcoming drama under her. Tommy's confrontation when he finds mc relationship, Quinn real intention to why she let her join hots(my guess to keep tabs on Tommy, but there can be other maliciousness), her and jill's friendship when mc is on whore path to name a few.

In My assumption is that in the future, the prostitution and drug ring of Quinn is going to blow up .

The drug ring is under the radar and gonna bust sooner ever since Chad's fight campus security is tighter and it involves stuff in and out of campus while prostitution is within the campus. Vinny knows about Quinn's dealer and to whom she deals with. She already got chased by an unknown guy when she goes to buddy and my guess is when she talks to a guy behind a mini truck is probably Vinny who says he is paranoid because of the mc and chad fight.

After the game is done you gotta release merch what i no WE need is the DIK Jacket, lmao

Is a major flaw since everybody play as the MC, and nobody want to be rejected (unless you are into NTR ) Other thing is if you don't like the MC, because he's a man and not a lesbian, or any other reason, and prefer to create your own imaginary game in your mind with the characters and play as Maya, for example. But most of us are playing the real game as the dev created it, not a imaginary one. We want to get the girl(-s) at the end. And I assume that's what is going to happen: if a player is into Maya or Josy path, he's going to get the girl and is Maya or Josy the ones that are going to be ditched. At some moment, if the player chooses the right decisions, the MC will be able to say "Who do you prefer, Maya, Josy or me?" And Maya will say "You, of course". And the same for Josy. Except if the player is in the "harem path". Then, the MC will get the two of them. That's the whole point. The MC has to be the hero in his own game.

Wat.
Josy was like "omg ur so cute I like you so much lets fugg. Even though I have a boyfriend and my parents would kill me if they found out" and then did a 180 into "guess you're not anymore, Maya tounge too good, bye. Oh, can we be friends?"
At that point anyone with a shred of self respect should get the hell out and not let themselves be friendzoned.

Could you give me an example of this? Because the last time I played I didn't have much contact with her, and almost every time the MC is with her he is drugged or something else.

What I meant by that was that she never pretended to be interested in the MC romantically.
She's lawfull evil: Kept the money from the prep party for herself, tries to get the other HOTs to prostitute themselves (for her gain), sells drugs and electrocuted the MC when he was getting it on with Maya.
Somewhat redeeming moments: She lets her friend and the MC smoke for free even though she is short on cash, is somewhat hesitant to sell Rich cocaine at first and has a troublesome backstory.
But on the two occasions where you fuck her (rooftop and party) she never pretends she has feelings for the MC. She's a bitch to almost everyone who likes to do drugs and have sex without commitment. And at least in my playthough the MC wasn't forcibly drugged by her, he took the hit by his own free will and overdid it. Then Quinn even "comforted" him instead of mocking him or similar which would have been more in line with her general cruel bitch vibe.

What Chip is pointing out is that they didnt reject the MC. They rejected you....
Us, on the other hand... we are having a great time with them:

Such good girls.

 

[OFT]

-Does the dialouge change alot when you go the massive dik route instead the M chick?

Significantly. DIK MC is brazen, confident, and outspoken. CHIK MC pretty much rolls over and lets people walk all over him regularly. Eventually you'll be locked into your alignment.

Even when it's not significant deviations in dialogue that change the story, the subtle differences can add flavor. Take for instance the MC's answer to this question:



If you're a CHICK, you'll respond with this:



If you're a DIK, you'll respond with this:

I guess it wont last long because Josy seems much more interested in you than Maya, so i think that Maya and Josy will either have a fight about you or with you.
Josy is always around you, fucking with you when Maya is no here, so Maya will perhaps accept this for a while but one day she will realise that Josy doesn't know what she really wants as usual.

Josy is a yo-yo, once she likes you, then she choose Maya, then you again, then Maya again, then both of you, no reason for her to stop that up and down
She is just a horny little schrimp girl next door who just discovered the marvels of fuckalot !

Ah so there was a path where they didn't decide to ditch the MC in the earlier episode?
Even then, after that point IF you got rejected it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the MC to stick around for their drama and issues etc., especially considering the other options (Sage is way hotter anyways.)
