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

[TajaRrR]

Oh boy, you are in for a treat

Hush.. Don't you tell him anything!

 

[sixart]

The Halloween party will take place in EP9, as the DIK mansion has been decorated in the credits.

The interlude is just a game to get us players in the right mood for Season 3 and EP9.

Assumptions... you do think it will happen in chapter 9 I on the other hand not buying into that and give my " vote " for chapter 10... the interlude does not even faze me the slightest... it's good that it comes but I'm more interested ( as well as many others here ) in the advancement of the main story line...

 

[sixart]

Hush.. Don't you tell him anything!

Another great opportunity for some red herrings...

 

[StopMeIfYouCan]

Maybe Interlude will contain M&J's reaction of Mc's choice or Jill's friends origin story.

Hi guys, im new here. I got a bug in the game where in the first free roam of chapter 8, the task says invite Maya and Jose, but i cant invite them(or im not sure if im doing it right). I dont get any options to text them but i do have the notification.

P.S. I did use walkthrough mod and now updated the game and used the cheatsave hotfix.

 

[godkingxerxes]

This right here... I like this, I need this.
Chill Quinn after letting herself to mc meeting his father, good shit it is.

Quinn is the perfect one for it, because she doesn't have a family of her own to go see on Thanksgiving.

The other girls, well main girls all have families or they're Bella and I can't see her meeting Neil this soon into the relationship.

We could have Thanksgiving with Neil/Quinn, with the Royces, with the Burkes(fireworks if you banged both Sage and Jade), something quiet with Bella. I don't know what to do with Maya/Josy, Josy's family seems more accepting than Maya's, but then you have Tommy to possibly deal with. Tricky situation for them.

Some of the other side girls like a Riona or Camila would work well coming home too, but that's a lot of work and effort, I can't see him giving every possible side girl a Thanksgiving scene. At least Jade will get one with Sage, so works out.

Yea, Thanksgiving with most of LI would be very.. Normal? I mean nothing exciting, normal dinner and that's it.
Well with Jill parents, that could be interesting.
I bet Jill mom would not be too happy to see mc with his Dik jacket at Thanksgiving.
So Yea, Quinn, mc and Neil would be perfect.
After dinner you could go with Quinn and torment that fucker from summer job (can't remember his name).

I feel like that was DPC telling everyone don't worry the Halloween party will be in the EP9. The only thing that makes me question if we will get it following the interlude is that Sage said it will take weeks to plan and get ready for the party. Unless things move fast or there is a small time jump during or before the EP that would be a lot cover which would be great but would take a really long time. My guess would be a small time jump that or EP 9 comes in two parts part one covering the time to get ready for the party and part two would be the party. I'm calling it Derek will tell MC his really his father at the end

We will get another mini-game to make halloween party. Print this

The secret Madame + Wendy ending will blow your mind!

Indeed, one of the things man was never meant to see. Truly a Cthulhu-esque horror!

what do you expect from the next chapter?

which LI's plot or which subplot (Vinnie and the drug rings for example, the pregnancy..) do you think will develop more?

I think Jill, in the end she's at a zero point in the story, the blackmail is behind her, and the family issue has been mentioned.

also Bella is completely unloaded, in theory she should face the problem of the internal regulation of the college about teacher-student relationships, but it seems to me difficult that it could hide some surprises (or at least irrelevant to the fact that she is married...). of course there will be the confrontation with Jill, but there are an optional parts of the story

for Maya and Josy I'm pretty sure it will be a waiting chapter, it's hard for them to come out from the meeting with Burke with any real news, but if it goes differently (either positive or negative) they too are candidates for an important role in the chapter

also for Sage i don't see big things in the immediate horizon, the Jade bomb might explode, but that's an optional event too

Honestly, I'm not sure what to expect next, other than full frontal Zoey.

My guess is we'll get the Halloween party as the main focus (rather like the prep party in Episode 5), but I could easily be wrong. I expect Maya will be offered some sort of hope that will eventually collapse later in the season, ensuring her subplot defies resolution yet again. And I assume we'll get some time with each of the LIs to set up their branch, but the real drama will probably wait until Episode 10.

Other than that, though, just about anything could happen. DPC hasn't left any clear indications, and it's clear he and I don't share a sense of proper dramatic timing. So I'm just going to have to wait and see, unless the Interlude is far more informative than I think it will be.

The fifth chapter is certainly one of the emptiest, but important things happen for the plot.

there is the picnic with Maya and Josy in which they establish that MC can still have fun
Burke's involvement in the restaurant is revealed
there is the rift between Quinn and Tommy and consequently between HOTs and DIKs
there is the scene with Cathe who can end the story with Bella

something always happens in the end

Eh, most of those weren't all that important IMHO.

The M&J 'no strings' decision was anti-character development, just an excuse to stall their path for the rest of the season.
Burke's involvement was already highly suspected thanks to his argument with Jade (and it wouldn't be until the end of Episode 6 that we learned he was involved as more than just a customer, which was the really important bit).
The 'rift' between the HOTs and DIKs barely mattered. (The rift between Tommy and Quinn does, so that counts at least.)
Eh, Cathy's ability to close of Bella's path is interesting, but I wouldn't say it's important to the plot. If you skipped Episode 5 entirely (and thus didn't leave Cathy's panties in the car), you'd never know you missed anything, since Cathy drops out of the game right afterwards.

Personally, I think the most important things that happened in Episode 5 were Mona backing out of deal with Burke and the destruction of the mansion/the MC taking a prominent role in its repair. There are other parts that matter, but with them you could probably put the pieces together on your own if you skipped Episode 5.

there's a difference between suspecting Burke had something to do with the restaurant, and seeing him leave the same room as Mona.

that would be like saying that seeing Troy and Chad kiss wasn't important because we already suspected it.

In my opinion the split between Hots and DIks has its importance, just to say that it makes MC the ambassador of DIKs who negotiates with Sage the reconciliation, without this split it would have been less normal that Mc would have organized the halloween party and not Tommy as usual.

the fact remains that overall chapter 5 is the least important, but in such an extended narrative it is literally impossible for nothing to happen in one chapter

wow. over a 1000 reviews!

I'm about to play for the first time. should I play with walkthrough mod or other mods? or should I play vanilla

Don't play with mods. And I suggest you to play every episode 2 times; first without the walkthrough and second with it. It will make your game more natural and you won't miss anything on your second play with the help of walkthrough. Hope you'll like it.

 

[felicemastronzo]

I'm about to play for the first time. should I play with walkthrough mod or other mods? or should I play vanilla

are you someone who can handle bad situations well, without sorrow? the endings of love stories?

If yes, then play it without a walkthrough.

If not, then either play the mod, or at least follow the pdf walkthrough, and most importantly, make lots of saves.

Steve. That fucker is the typical DPC's trap that will bite you in the ass later.

Sadly Jill is chick only, a bad boy Tremolo in Jill's house cracking jokes, drinking and smoking would be hilarious.

 

[Dnutz]

anyone think Bella, the Mc and Jill will become a thouple after the Bella ending?

Let us know how that turns out ...

Did someone have an idea of what could possibly failed the lauch of the game ?
I downloaded it multiple times from different sources, move it from a different places on my Hard Drive but nothing changes.
