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

[`Ray`]

Let me show you an example of what could be a clue from DPC.

MASSIVE DIK: Jimmy and Tommy. However, Tommy is moving toward Huge DIK because he has crossed the line. You shouldn't fight Caleb either. Caleb humiliated Tommy and insults all DIKs. It would be a double humiliation for Tommy if the MC fights Caleb and also passes against him. But with Caleb's attack on Tommy, all the DIKs are brought down to earth. This is basically setting up for the mini-fight when the mansion is repaired.

HUGE DIK: Dawe is and always will be an asshole.

DIK: None.

NEUTRAL: That's interesting. We're seeing Anthony. Okay, fine. But the MC is right across from him. Anthony doesn't need any more punches. He's neutralized.

CHICK: None.

HUGE CHICK: Caleb? Yes, yes, of course. That's why the MC shouldn't hit him, because then he might slide further towards DIK.

MASSIVE CHICK: Darius is a surprise even to me. But John is interesting. Here you can see what happens when the MC hits someone. John is not quite such a massive chick anymore and is moving towards DIK. This was probably triggered because I had my MC fight the Jocks in EP2.

By having the MC fight Anthony, we see what it takes to be president. NEUTRALITY. But Anthony is still a wimp. Because the MC has a chance to get to a special kind of neutrality.

DIK/NEUTRAL/CHICK

This affinity system doesn't apply on other characters, it is only for MC. Unless you are trying to say something else.

And all Jocks are shit, none excluded.

 

[Jazzmatazz]

In my humble opinion....this game is absolutely one of the best there is..

 

[KoolMe]

Interesting I didn't know that, thx for the information.
Regardless I'm on his side on this one , so I don't think he should get any shit on him.
And that part is way more likely on this matter than the usual, he is a control freak, not that him being a control freak is actually a bad thing .
not that I'm saying that if HE would be able to pay for denuvo he would not use it.
But yeah in this modding shit, he just don't want to deal with the complaint I Fully support that. .

IF it was me, I would make sure that these " cheaters " somehow won't be able to finish the game,

would you like to live in a world where your beard trimmer shocks your balls with 50k volts if shave your pubes with it
or if Apple makes you a sex offender if you play porn games on a mac meant to play apple arcade and watch pornhub

What you see is the DIK scale and not the AFFINITY. The affinity is only for the MC, but with the DIK scale other characters could be influenced by the MC. The DIK scale could be a ART of control for the other characters.

I don't know of course, but such a system would bring the VN to an interesting level and we all know that DPC likes to set new standards.

Oddly specific, but I'll allow it.

You're goddamn right. This guy gets it. There will be no mercy, no matter how amazing of a dancer Anthony is.

I do find it peculiar that DPC is trying to make some of the jocks more likeable in recent episodes. What has he got up his sleeve I wonder? Anthony was quite the douche in earlier episodes. Not as bad as the rest, but now he is trying to break up fights, distance himself from Dawe's antics, and is being respectful to Ashley and even MC. Then of course we have DPC working hard to give Chad a mountain of sympathy points. What's next, a change of heart from Tybalt? Dude better leave at least Caleb and OnePunchAlex as baddies. I won't tolerate any more jock redemption stories; I need someone left to fight.

 

[PashafromRussia]

I can't tell if this is a joke or not. This dalli guy for real?

Much worse, he's German. And all Germans have a nasty habit. When they start to get into something, a little Emmanuel Kant wakes up in them and one sentence turns into Kritik der reinen Vernunfty.

that's a pretty classic "trick" in storytelling, a villain without redemption becomes boring and we always know what to expect from him, while a villain with a soul always leaves us in doubt, we always expect redemption or at least remains less predictable

I don't understand the support for Anthony, ok, he's definitely the least violent Jocks, but first he has a relationship with his best friend's girlfriend, and then he abandons both of them for a new love.

Derek is almost better

Yes, but it's too early in the story to start making every antagonist a "good guy." We're not quite at the midway point of the game. And I don't know how many more villain characters (or characters in general) DPC can keep adding. It's an insane number people for him to keep track of and write back stories for at this point.

I would also argue that the full jock redemption is a little too expected...just as the secretly gay jock. If DPC really wanted to throw in a twist, he should make Chad legit bisexual who not only cheated on Sage with Troy, but also cheated with Melanie. It's something different and it would not be the cliché complete baddie to complete good switch. Shades of gray are more interesting I say. All of the recent Chad stans would have to take a step back and

Regarding Anthony, it's the dancing bro. DPC got people with Quinn by adding sad music and sympathetic looks. He got people with Chad by making him gay...and sympathetic looks. Now, he snagged more people with some NOICE dance moves from Ant man.

You had to go there didn't you.

but BADIK doesn't need a nemesis, after all, a lot of interesting things happen at that age without the need to meet Satan himself.

for now we have either buffoons (Burke and Tybalt) or super suffering emo (Quinn, Chad etc).

the only one who retains his villain aura is Patrick, but even his rendition I almost take for granted.

I don't often get to compliment Derek....

I think the real villain of the story Burke has yet to fully emerge on the scene. Maybe it's a trick to make us realize that jocks and Quinn aren't such villains such as he. His attempted rape of Mona already puts him in the category of egregious scoundrels for whom there is no sympathy.

But I need a nemesis! What am I without my hate!? **screams at the skies**
My last hope is Burke. I hope he isn't the buffoon Tybalt is.

Yep, if I lose Burke too, then I have nothing. He must remain in the nemesis category, he must.

Yes unfortunately. Still beyond me how he wasn't banned when mods purged this thread of shitposters, the guy is literally posting nonsense theorys, nonstop spamming.

 

[Deante]

Hi guys, I am new to this game and need some advice. Is it possible to be on Bella only route without Jill being into you ? Because when I am on Bella route I can't reject Jill on a tennis date. Are Bella and Jill routes connected and inseparable for now in the game ? Thanks.

You can choose not to kiss Jill even if you go on the date with her, and slowly the relationship will cool off. You'll still interact with her as a close friend though and help her out from time-to-time. Same goes with all of the girls.

Want to know my secret? Then make the spoiler viewable.

I entertain people here in the thread so that the wait until the next release is not too boring.

At least we got a good chuckle out of it. A pretty good way of killing the time while waiting for the update to drop.

I think Anthony was a funny guy from the beginning. Even when the mc is dissing Chad just before the early wedgie scene, Anthony is laughing away at the mc's jokes (until Chad punches him in the guts). Sure he's fucking Dawe's girl, but who isn't?

The only other jock that could becoming sympathetic is The Chad himself, but it seems that hinges entirely on whether you defended him when he was being castrated by the faculty.

Vinny surely has a role to play.

Burke is just a sleaze who enjoys fucking young, nubile, college chicks (can you really hold that against him), and he's also a fucking idiot if he needs to cheat on Jade... I don't see him as too much of an "evil" character at this point.

When you're going full throttle on your observations, it always makes me think of John Nash as portrayed in "A Beautiful Mind". You are one crazy bastard dude, but you're our crazy bastard.

Imagine that I have a separate route for each girl and I had to play the tennis game 4 times in a row and I had little patience but think about it that way that tennis game is like a herpes because when you think it left come back again to fuck you just like D&G

 

[SpearOfReigns]

Maybe I'm reading into it too much but this feels like a guide of picking your adult visual novels by DPC told thru Isabella

 

[Hesteros]

I think that Chad was no longer happy in the relationship with Sage.

My interpretation is that he was never happy in the first place, through no fault of Sage. He had always been gay; he only dated her to cover it up. Imagine the reactions if the jocks found it out. For example, Dawe had shown homophobic behaviour multiple times.

On an unrelated note, I wonder how the HOTs would react when they found out about Josy & Maya. They have been shown fooling around with girls (barring Heather and Sage) but that's completely different from a genuine girl-girl relationship.
