You clearly haven´t read the dialogues. Tremolo doesn´t say to Sage "I´m worried about you". He says to her "I´m worried about your reaction" and "I´m worried about feeling myself like shit". Again:
"- Sage: What the fuck are you worried about?
- Tremolo: Like I said before, I´m worried about your reaction. It´s a huge thing I´m about to tell you. If you don´t react well to it, I´m gonna feel like shit for more than a reason."
"-- Tremolo: It´s clearly a secret they don´t plan to reveal. And that´s why I wasn´t sure if I should tell you or not".


I´m talking about the things that are written in the dialogues, not about interpretations. Why the fuck Tremolo would feel like shit about Chad and Troy´s secret? They are the guys that have harassed him for weeks and, worst of it, they have hurt Sage for months or even years. I don´t even think that Sage should feel bad for exposing Chad´s sexuality. He has been making her miserable, again, for months or even years. Why suddenly Chad and Troy´s secret is so important for the people that they have been harming with that secret and their behavior? My answer is: political correctness.
Basic human empathy?

You see the same thing happen as an option after the fight with Chad. Chad jumps him on the street and starts beating the shit out of him for (from his perspective) absolutely no reason. But once things escalate and you're in a meeting with staff talking about his expulsion, you get the option to say 'Hey now, it was just a brawl, not something that needs him to be thrown off campus for'.

Tremolo clearly isn't a huge piece of shit in setting, even when played full DIK, nor is he stupid. As soon as he realized that Chad is gay, things fall pretty neatly into place. Chad is the head of a macho af fraternity, the sort of people that wouldn't remotely put up with someone being gay, which is why he is keeping the secret. Outing a closeted gay person is in fact, a fairly fucked up thing to do, even if that person is a hypocrite and a piece of crap, so Tremolo doesn't do it. Or, well, they might do it, just in limited circumstances rather than being a huge douche who immediately starts spreading a campus rumor about it.

Even weirder how Becky who's not a HOT knows the secret codes but Maya who is a HOT, doesn't know them.

The theories that come up here, some ridiculous shit.
You know very well there is nothing weird about it. Becky is Sarah friend, she obviously gossiped to her. Becky is a slut, but she is a Stupid Slut, unlike Sara or Mel, they at least earn money by being a slut.

so there isn't anything weird. Even Sage is a gossip bitch. I mean she tell the girls, who you think has the best ass. :ROFLMAO:

after Mona it seems very difficult for Sara to talk about the restaurant with the dumbest girl in the BR (except Arieth)

then this deep friendship between Becky and Sara would result from what? the fact that Sara attended her party? Sara doesn't strike me as someone who has all these deep friendships....

You guys calling Becky slut because she has sex with whoever she wants, comparing with Sarah who has sex for money. Sarah will have sex with anyone either if she wants to have sex with them or not as long as they pay. Becky is just a girl who wants to have fun as much as our MC. Arieth is another girl who just want to have fun as well.

But we call girls sluts if they do what men do. If a man sleeps with many women, it is "having fun", "enjoying being single", harem. If a girl sleeps with a lot of guys, they are sluts, whores, etc.

Lets take this day 01 of a new year, to learn how to treat women better and learn that they can have as much sex around as men. So all men are stupid too, because they have sex with a lot of girls and earn 0 money.

Because Tremolo is politically corrected, then. Chad is an asshole that has made Sages´s life miserable (Tremolo´s lover/friend) and assaulted and harassed Tremolo. But, poor him, he´s homosexual, so everybody must have empathy with him and find reasons why he´s such an asshole. Including his victims... And that´s the socially acceptable way of thinking... :FacePalm: If not, you don´t have "empathy". Because the guy, is gay, and apparently, being gay in a college of USA in 2020 is like being black in Alabama in 1950, or something... :ROFLMAO: That´s the conventional depiction of homosexuality in modern pop culture. A cliché. It doesn´t mean that is the correct or fair approach about homosexuality. If a character (or a person, in real life) is an asshole, being gay is not a defense or a mitigating factor. Many people is treated badly for lots of personal circumstances, not only sexual orientation. And it doesn't gives charte blanche for being assholes.

I have empathy with the victims of Chad's selfishness and violent temper. Not with an asshole, gay or not, that humiliate his partners, make their life´s miserable and assault people because, poor him, doesn´t want that his subhuman mates make fun of him or something... In a college in USA in 2021... And that´s not shellfish at all, or a cliché...:FacePalm:

And, unlike you, I´m not going to make personal considerations about your character or your lack or abundance of empathy. Although probably is going to be my post the one deleted, and not yours, with a personal attack.
Well, it's not an attack. You clearly don't care about what happens to him and don't even consider what YOUR actions will do to him, you even find preposterous for DPC to consider that.

We all know when you reveal a secret it may affect the other person in a bad way. That's why it's a secret man, I know it and you know it too, you just pretend being gay is all rainbows and joy and everybody accept them as they are like in a bad pc Netflix show.

Well it's not, it's difficult, people judge them, sometimes beat them, some family may think they are 'wrong'. And that is in top of the other things that can happen to anyone, so yes in general life is more difficult to them. That's why some are closeted, it's not like they want to be, just decide that is their best option at a certain moment.

Now, about empathy. The greatness of DPC's characters is that they are well developed. With a mix of good and bad traits, like any human being (well, maybe except Jill who is more Disney than Disney), some are doing bad things like Quinn, Steve, Troy or Chad but you know, they are victims too. Survivors in a way, of who they are. You are offered how you want to treat them.

Showing empathy for the almost pure, naive character who is being badly treated so it's all a black and white choice like in bad movies where good people are 100% good, caring, family loving, adopted 150 cats... and bad people are terrible murderers and rapists... That's fucking easy, any idiot can do that.

The hardest part is to show empathy for people that won't bring you personal gain, people who have wronged you, maybe even beaten you. Why? Well that's what empathy is, understanding the other. Maybe they did that for a reason, maybe they were wrong or maybe you were being an asshole, maybe any other thing you may want to consider.

This is where many people fail (because we people are selfish and prejudiced) so you downplay the FACT that being gay causes them a lot of trouble, and that you shouldn't care for them, so you only care about the redhead you want to fuck. C'mon man, they are people too.

As a Quinn fan, I have to say this thing happens a lot with her too, you see some champions of morality bashing her like she is not a person, well what can I say, not one of them would survive a single day in that drug den...

Cheers

What does Arieth have to do with it now?:unsure:

I like Arieth because she probably has a good heart. I also think she will become important to the story. Yes, she likes to fuck everyone, but that's probably why she knows what's going on B&R better than anyone else. Pillow talk.:rolleyes::D
Arieth at least has been at BR since Lana's time

Shit, I just got an idea what Maya said.

"Maya, you're not the daughter I wanted!"

What if Patrick really is her stepfather, but didn't say that to Maya?

What if Maya searched for and found her birth father, but he didn't want or accept Maya because Maya is a the result of an extramarital affair?:unsure:
Is dalli_x some kind of rogue AI inexhaustibly posting these theories? Can we order up a Turing test in this thread just to be sure?

The term defines video games that required an investment of tens of millions of dollars in budget (when it's not hundreds of millions of dollars) and a number of developers that reaches three digits. Being A DIK does not achieved such a production scale and it's rather an ambitious amateur game; Dr PinkCake demonstrates a certain expertise in the staging, the dialogues and the code. The distribution of this visual novel via Steam and gog.com also reflects a move to embrace a wider audience, beyond Patreon fans. But, even if he dedicates himself full time, his skills are limited compared to professional studios.

In my opinion, the majority of adult games are mediocre, and the few that do manage to succeed are too quickly glorified. Being a DIK, while deserving its popularity, is still a small project regarding indie games, some of which are released after 5-6 years of development with 3D environment, original music, dubbed sequences, sometimes already translated. This makes me put Dr PinkCake's work into perspective even though I appreciate playing his games.
By definition BaDIK can't be an 'AAA' game, but I think Kellerman is right that DPC aspires to that sort of high gloss, detail-heavy style. How well it succeeds is mostly a question of personal taste.


Doki Doki Literature Club! is a game created on Ren'Py which is completely out of the box, not hesitating to break the fourth wall or delete files. I'm not a specialist of this engine, but I wanted to illustrate the fact that there is the tool and what we do with it.

I would find it brilliant for my part, that Jill's jealousy pushes her to delete all the game saves about other love interests, in the manner of the game mentioned above.
Honestly, I consider that sort of thing a cheap trick, not a mark of skill in writing.

In this particular case, having Jill delete other LI files would make no sense since Jill is neither tech savvy nor genre savvy. Moreover, it would be counterproductive since the game is clearly intended to be played multiple times.


so Arieth is everyone's best friend, including Jade and Cathe... :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:
Trying to know the mind of Dalli is a perilous endeavor, but I think his point was that Sarah told Becky long before Mona even arrived at B&R.

Becky may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but she's clearly not incompetent. I can easily believe she'd know enough about the secret tuition deal to cause problems, but still keep the secret well enough that it isn't common knowledge.
