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

[Kellermann]

As I don't want to restart the game for every path I have few questions regarding them.

Josy/Maya: I there yet or will be a mono path for either of the girls or are they a package deal? Can I pursue both and later decide with whom I want a serious relationship with or do I need to pick one early on? I like both and don't want to hurt any of them. I don't mind the three-way relationship but wouldn't mind solo paths for both girls either.

Sage: I know that you get more points with her on a DIK path but can you pursue her on either of the other paths? Will I be locked out of pursuing her if I'm not being on a DIK path? She is my favorite girl but some of the DIK decisions just aren't for me.

No spoilers, please. I am currently at the end of ep 04.

Thanks in Advance.

M/J: Don't know yet, but most think solo paths will become available at some point. And on the opposite side, if any two girls will allow a trouple ending, then it would be these two. I will say that you can lean heavily towards one girl if you so choose and you will get solo lewd scenes with said girl. I have a "solo" Josy playthrough where I ignore Maya as much as possible and a "solo" Maya playthrough where I........ GULP......ignore Josy as much as little as possible. How can you ignore that ass?

Sage: I've pursued her as both CHICK and DIK and haven't had any problems yet. But this is DPC we are talking about so almost anything can trip you up in late game. I'd just play as you normally would and enjoy. Don't worry about what might happen or it will ruin the experience and the fun along the way.

I don't mind the three-way relationship but wouldn't mind solo paths for both girls either.

as of today there is very little in the solo routes with Maya and Josy, in the seventh chapter we started to see something at least in relation to Josy.

we don't know if it will be possible to choose one of the two being inside the trouple, for sure it seems possible to do it staying out of the polyamorous relationship.

for now the fundamental passage seems to be the one in the fifth chapter (I won't reveal anything but it will be an explicit request of which one of the two really interests you)

Sage: I know that you get more points with her on a DIK path but can you pursue her on either of the other paths? Will I be locked out of pursuing her if I'm not being on a DIK path? She is my favorite girl but some of the DIK decisions just aren't for me.

for now Sage can be romanced even as a CHICK, you lose relationship points that are not vital for now, but going forward no one can tell. for now you are not excluded from any of her main scenes

Obviously I'm speculating here, but I think Sage won't care what path you're on. I say this because Sage is probably the most flexible among the girls personality-wise. Girl can really balance partying and actually studying while being head of a student organization.

On the other hand, if DPC wanted to mess with us, she could be Neutral-only. I really hope that isn't a thing.

Does this game feature vanilla content only?

is there a way to assign commands to other keys? I have the down arrow that doesn't work anymore .. I can't play the fight minigames ..

I don't know of a way to reassign keys. Hell, I still haven't seen a listing of all the command keys, anyway. But regarding your problem there is a

Seriously. I know if you imbed yourself deeply enough in the world that is BaDIK, where a strip club VIP pass costs $10, and $65 will replace the windows of an entire 4700 square foot house (minus one certain person's window), your perception of economics can get greatly distorted. But that replacement keyboard costs $$$$$$$$, and you can probably find a used one cheaper.

Patty gets a lot of slack around here, people trying to make him out to be more villainous than he actually is, so they can play out their saviour fantasy and save Maya.

Maya's conflict in contrived bullshit put in for the sake of having conflict to overcome to be with her. So is all the other conflict for that matter except for Bella's, sorta. Maya's dad doesn't like that she's a lesbian? Well guess what? She's not really a lesbian as she got with the first dude she came across in college. Jill doesn't need to be some painfully naive virgin, she could just be reluctant to get into a sexual relationship quickly, there's nothing wrong with that, especially because she dresses incredibly provocatively like she's teasing you about what you can't have. Jose's crap is wrapped up in Maya's crap, but she has no organic conflict herself so people construct elaborate bullshit about how Tommy made a pass at her and she didn't take it well when the much less insane theory is that Tommy just resents his step-sister but people's brains have been melted by porn so that's not an option. Sage is just mad at her boyfriend for breaking up with her and doesn't want to be in a new relationship. This is the only not totally insane conflict. The writing is fine for what this is, a college sex comedy, but the minuet you forget that it's all crap.

I reckon DPC is having dig at the extreme feminists. There's definitely a movement within feminists circles that basically just wants to bury men, and that's where the extreme girls from the class sit, and even Jade complains that they are missing the point:

Jade: "(Every year, it's the same group of girls...)"Jade: "(I wonder why feminism always attracts the most hardcore women.)"Jade: "(There are rarely any girls here who understand what it's really about.)"

See, that is what I like about characters like Jade...the dichotomy of her nature. On one hand she espouses to be a feminist practitioner (and I think she is most of the time), but she often gets overtaken by her emotions. Proper feminist teacher in class, but then later sucks off her student in a parking lot, or she flashes her minge to a student in an important disciplinary meeting. That's how you write good, multi-faceted characters. No one is ever completely black or white. Most people are shades of grey and complete contradictions.

That's why I never believe the supposed good nature of those Hollywood people or TV preachers. They say they spend their free time at Children's hospital, but behind the scenes they are doing blow off of a hooker's ass, kicking puppies, and jerking off in potted plants.

I don't think he's a SJW or something. Just a guy that is into the predominant ideology promoted by the social media and big tech companies, mass media, the entertaining industry, etc. in western countries.

I don't think he's trying to impose any kind of political agenda, he just follows the mainstream. It´s difficult to be a dissident and trying to make money with an entertainment product in cancel culture times. Sadly, It´s a logical thing to be into the herd, follow instructions from the predominant political and cultural climate, and don't even try to think for yourself. Anyway, according the "Milgram experiment", only about a 35% of the population is able to not to do that, to a greater or lesser extent, and DPC doesn´t seem to be one of them.

Anyway, he said that all the jokes about feminists and gender studies in the game are a joke with his feminist wife, not that he actually thinks like that. In other matters, like the general approach to the homosexuality, he's clearly taking a side and preaching the player, since the player only have the option of doing what DPC wants. I don't like porn games (or any other kind of games) that try to lecture me.

Do you have a link if thats true?

Everyone knows that Hollywood is full of pedophiles.

And Lily is the most flexible otherwise

What? The thing of his wife feminist and the jokes? He said that in a Q&A session. It was posted here, in this discussion, but I don't know the number of page, sorry.

 

[AchedCroissant]

am i the only one who wants to see Becky again ... hope she will return in the next episode ... oh and Mona too

You have Josy in your avatar and you want to be with Becky, even DPC recommend not interacting with her while you are on Maya and Josy's route but good luck with that

 

[AchedCroissant]

instead DPC really enjoyed Madame, and all of you don't appreciate his work.

I think it looks better in this way

You can use a little free tool named SharpKeys that allows you to redirect a keyboard key to anotherone. I used it sometimes when certain games have hard coded keys that don't suit my personal taste.

Anyhow, I don't find this game to be subversive in any way, honestly speaking feminist reprezentation in this game is spot on, i know 2 gay dudes Who look Chad's boyfriend so that's spot on as well.

I roll my eyes at the boogieman Christian father trope though. I don't even get how Maya's oppresed, she gets to live by herself, no roommate to disturb her, father even pays for her shitty social worker degree, is that the worse a christian father can do? LOL, maybe Maya should get a job if she believes her father to be so ofensive

You can read the Q&A here:

Q&A Session - February 2021

It's about half way through, just search for feminist.


I dunno, a badge of honour would be something earnt. These ignore threats are being handed out for anything of late.

It's possible the last 10 pages may be deleted, what's the topic of the thread again?

From the Q&A i got the story probably wont get a happy ending since it was supposed to be a preguel of Acting lessons and he said he didnt change the story expect it not being a preguel and we all know how MC was at the start of the story. I just hope it wont have another depressing ending like acting lessons because i really didnt like that one. Also that your choices didnt matter at all in that game. So saying that he didnt change the story makes me nervous.

OMG, OMG, OMG, Poor MC has no Idea what He is about to Experience

I think I just Ruined the Madame for everyone even more , I'm so sorry

Don't worry about it ! she was already ruined for me and many others !
Technically, we never saw what is under her legs, so it could be possible... The only scene with Madame were a lap dance, boob sucking and a pole dance blowjob....
I'm going to start calling her/him "Monsieur" from now on.

Well, the developer can't let them all die in the end.. that would be silly=)
So i'm pretty certain there'll be some sort of a "happy ending" for the vast majority of characters if not all of them..
And what would even be a bad ending?
As of now the only 2 things i could eventually see happening is something really weird going down with Quinn or with Maya.. (but that's only a maybe)

When i was younger i used to go in a bar where a lot of whores, pimps and any kind of perverts where spending the night after "work". I remember that there was a guy i knew from highschool, who's name was Jean Luc, who had become a trans and was "working" there under the name of Virginie. At that time we called him/her Monsieur Virginie!!

But i have a question why that Madame is getting so much attention, yes she seems to be a higgh class MILF who has a kink to work in a strip club, so the mask i guess. Who is she, maybe some of the DIK's mother (hello Dalli!)
