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

[Ilhares]

Is there much Bella content? She's pretty much the only one I wanted when I tried this before. And has her story turned tragic (like I sensed it would)?

No tragedy yet, though the wild pony ride still eludes MC.

 

[ename144]

Okay I noticed this here. Maybe it's a coincidence, I'm not sure.
Episode 3 ends with the hero finding out that Josy and Maya are dating. And episode 4 begins with Josy and Maya remembering how they fell in love with each other. Episode 7 ends with the hero finding out that Chad and Troy are dating. Will episode 8 start with their memories? It's funny that Troy, Chad and Sage are a love triangle, as are MC, Josy and Maya.

The parallels between Maya/Josy and Chad/Troy are certainly interesting, though the role of the MC and Sage is very different (unless we learn Sage once had a thing for Troy, too).

But I doubt we'll get an equivalent flashback for C/T to start Episode 8 simply because they're comparatively minor characters that have very few connections to the MC. What we might get is a more indirect flashback that includes Sage's perspective on Chad but also shows us what was "really" happening with Troy. That would keep the focus closer to the main cast, and tie in nicely with Sage bearing her soul to Maya at the end of Episode 7.

Lol rando question but why are so many people down on Maya? , is it because she doesn't look like a sex doll like 90% of the girls in the game? , is it because she's lesbian? or is it because she's cock blocking yall from a solo route with Josey?.. I don't know, I personally think she's great, she has that "girl next door" vibe and her character model not being overly sexualized unlike majority of the B.A.D girls is a plus for me.
also I don't think either she or Josey needs solo routes,them being that cute lesbian couple separates them from the rest.. Tremelo already has like 95% of the games girls at his disposal, let's not be selfish now lol.
And really I don't see how a solo Josy route won't end with Maya being hurt cause if Josy chooses Tremelo over her, Maya won't have anyone, she won't have Josy or Tremelo leaving her sad and lonely.. Yall really wanna do that to poor ol Maya when you can just be with both her and Josy?.. But then again I'm probably in the minority here who actually gives a feck about Maya.

I adore Maya, so I can only speculate. But most of the dislike Maya seems to stem from some combination of the following reasons: a) She lied to the MC, concealing the fact that she was in a relationship (exacerbated by previously insisting on 100% honesty from him); b) she's a serial damsel in distress, all too often despairing at the challenges she faces; c) the MC is frequently dragged into her drama with little recourse for players who don't care for her; d) she will harshly reject the MC in Episode 4 under certain (poorly explained) conditions, but somehow she will remain a close friend of the MC afterwards; e) she prevents players from hooking up with Josy solo; f) her skin texture and makeup can be very rough in some shots.

Personally, I still find Maya to be a caring, introverted girl who's simply overwhelmed by the circumstances of her life. I understand why she couldn't explain her situation to the MC and want to help her become the confident woman she aspires to be (similar to her initial portrayal in Episode 1). So I'm forgiving of her occasional inaction, I don't mind enduring her drama, and I'm happy to share Josy with her. But I can see why others wouldn't feel that way.

I'm 12 years older than my wife and we have been married for 13 years and have two children together...to each their own, but age is just a number.

I'd say age is more than just a number. Our age also influences a lot of our outlook and experience because we absorb a lot about the world during our formative years. The world in the 80s was very different than the world in the 00s. That can not only give children each age a very different template for the world, it gives them much less common ground to relate to.

Of course that's just a broad stereotype. It's entirely possible to find people from different generations that have similar views on the world, just as it's possible to find (or make) common ground on things other than shared childhood experiences. So while I think large age gaps are a real impediment in general, for individuals who can overcome that gap it's largely unimportant.

I'll be curious to see how this plays out with Bella, especially once her secrets are finally revealed.

heyy soo i just tried your solution and by the end of episode 7 i am at 92% completion with $64 its almost close to your solution but wayy better than how i did it.. so i ll just finish it in the remaining two turns. A huge thanks for the help btw now i just need to follow this again on Josy and Jill's path -sigh- its gonna be tiring T_T

That's strange, the solution should have completed the house and windows with $2 to spare.

Can you tell where your results deviated from the predictions on the spreadsheet? Off the top of my head the easiest things to miss would be sorting books for Bella just before the D&G session in Episode 6, and repairing Upper Area #2 during the free roam at the end of Episode 6.

But I don't think that would leave you with quite the results you mentioned, so something else must be going on.

As you said, you should be able to finish easily in Episode 8. But I'd still like to figure out what's causing the issue.

1 of 2, I like all the different paths. The Quinn one? Well, she really lets her guard down with MC and this is one of many examples of where she is really enjoying being around MC.
She would NEVER use that kind of language with MC in front of anyone else. This is big.

 

[shazba]

Shaz... I love you but since you have an attraction for Sandy... I'm gonna have to lock you in the basement.

Really I just like her tatts and her attitude.

Her face is kinda a wreck.

Her tits are gonna be dragging along the floor in a few years.

But I've always liked illustrated women. Not interested in an ankle tattoo, or the "I'm so hip" tiny shoulder tat, and a tramp stamp has never improved anyone. But a full body of work. That literally illustrates commitment.

This shows it is possible that MC might be the only person on the campus she can enjoy. All night? From all of this it seems everyone else to Quinn is someone to be exploited or further her aims.

MC? She finds comfort. The way DPC has done this is masterful.

I think we have another on board the Quinn train.

 

[znar25]

I do all the paths. Quinn is a story well told. What kind of future does she have? Redemption or train wreck?

 

[RonWeasleyJr]

All joking aside, I do hope there are some "Maybe Ever After" endings with some of the side girls, like the Ana ending from Acting Lessons.

Like, if MC isn't in a relationship at the end of the game, but he joined Quinn's restaurant, Camilla approaches him and talks about how much she enjoyed having sex with MC: "Maybe...maybe we could keep having sex...just...without the paying for it part?"


Or Heather uses MC as her "plus three" and at the end of the game, with Tommy exposed and disgraced, Heather begins dating MC as her new Dom.

Speaking for myself, she talks about truth and say nothing about her relationship with Josy, when in my chick playthrough I was as truthful as Jesus. She put Tremolo in an impossible position. And me, and my MC by extension, want Maya only, not a threesome. I feel Josy very blank and Maya/MC both cute together.

 

[JamieSadistic]

This is a pretty well discussed topic. Quinn fans are hopeful for the redemption arc while others are hopeful for the "lock her up and throw away the key" option.
To me, my observations are pointing towards Quinn softening up to MC so much that she's going to attempt to change how she acts. We already see a drastic difference in her attitude towards MC verses the beginning episodes. As we progress towards future episodes, that attitude is going to change exponentially in favor of MC. A lot of folks don't understand the complexity of her story because they're resigned to the belief of "Quinn is evil" and they don't even bother to play her path.

Quinn train has no breaks and it’s just 2 episodes she has been given some content

Agree for Camila, but Heather ? Not so much. I'm not even sure that my MC would agree to help her lvl the count to Tommy.
Quinn ? why not if she stops dealing drugs. The pimping side isn't ok but not so important. It can be solved later.

I've run out of "likes" to pay out. So I can only offer this meagre token.



Quinn is definitely my favourite character to follow in this game. That's not to say I like her the most, but I definitely like what is going on with her.

There are plenty of signs of Quinn falling for the mc, but the most "out of character" response, where she doesn't just give a subtle look but actually says something, is when (and I say "when" not "if") the mc says, "I like you" and she responds with:

Spoiler: Um... You don't have to pay me for that.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I reckon this is an opportunity missed. There are so many great facial expressions from Quinn as she evolves from Queen Cunt into a ball of love for the mc, and I would have loved to have seen an almost shy look on her face as she admitted outright that she simply likes to be with the mc and isn't doing it for any monetary gain. Still, there are so many good Quinn scenes, I can't complain.

 

[Spfjolietjake]

NOPE!

No tragedy ... yet ?
Content let's say the evolution is ... slow some groping, handjob, blowjobs and even a 69 (this last one if you're on the Chick path) but at the end of 7 she took off her ring ! Hoping for more now

No tragedy yet, though the wild pony ride still eludes MC.

Thank you all for your responses

Bro, yes. I agree on 95% of what you said. I, however, LOVE her reaction in that scene. That subtle little smirk, the way her eyes are softer (not nearly as intense as all of her other scenes). One render speaks absolute volumes in this case. As an absolute die hard Quinn fan, this whole scene is incredible to me. I often open BaDIK simply to play this scene a couple times and then I close it out. I just love where her attitude sits right now with MC verses the earlier episodes.
PLUS!!!! The "babe" thing. UGH.

Lol my favorite scene from Quinn's hangout

 

[keltboy]

Went through all episodes to refresh my memory.

I get a feeling that we will not get a harem ending in this one. Too many girls are jealous of each other, too many times MC and girls tell us how fucked up it is too see others when you have somebody to love. Totally agree on this part when it comes to real life decisions.

But for fuck sake this is just a game, make stupid hard to get harem endling so everyone would be happy, specially us neutral path boys who fuck all the chicks (not Arieth) not because we are sinners and bad people, but because this is just a game.

This will totally not happen and I am waiting to be killed by Bella in half of the endings :/

 

[Deleted member 4212304]

As far as her story goes, it doesn't really make sense to me. I'm basing this in America because the license plate on the yellow car says New York...that being said...there's no way her dad could hold her student loans over her head like that. There's no cosignatures needed for student loans etc. So either she's not that bright or there's a problem with the writing of her story.

People really need to stop acting like DPC is a literary genius.

He wrote a serviceable story for the game he's making, but it's not a masterpiece. It's not even competent really.

Why is Jill comically naive beyond the point of plausibility? Because she was written that way, not because somebody would be a junior in college and be that way. Why does she have no friends except Bella? Because she's written that way to be painfully shy, but not really in any instance that we have seen. Why does she live in the rich kid frat? Seriously, actually why does she? It makes no sense. Why is the fact that her family is rich and presumably big donors to the school some dark secret? For drama!

Why is Bella so mysterious about her past and where her husband is? For the intrigue. Is she an ax murderer? Did he die in a war? Nobody knows but it's supposed to be some big reveal.

Why does Maya need a cosigner for student loans? Because there needs to be conflict in the story, not because that's how student loans work. Why is she a lesbian? Well she's not really, seeing as in the first month of college she potentially hooked up with this dude. Thus proving her dad right that if she was separated from Josy she'd not be gay. Don't think DPC thought that out all the way.

Why is Josy dating Maya? It's a sex game and because if she wasn't there'd be no conflict in her story. Why do people cook up elaborate stories about how Josy and Tommy actually had sex or whatever and it ended badly so now they hate each other when in reality it would be much easier to assume they just have tension because they're a mixed family but despite that Tommy does see Josy as his little sister in some ways and her being there gets in the way of him having a good time? Again, because it's a sex game and everyone expects incest because they're demented little freaks. Just be happy you get to fuck coeds in the ass on the second date.

Sage is the only coherent LI. She's pissed off her boyfriend dumped her and won't tell her why. Has a bad temper about it.

This isn't even touching on the whole "Quinn is a drug dealer and Burke is a pimp" plotline.

She should get a barcode on her neck so at least checking her out will be fun.

Fuck no. In my opinion the best games are those that don't have a harem ending and make you choose.
