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

[Meushi]

Another question lol, the only known routes are Sage, JosyMaya, Bella and Jill right? Is there a neutral, Jade/Cathy, Lily/Envy/etc or Quinn (main question) as alternate routes?

Not exactly, there are the four main girl routes you listed, plus an 'others' route where you don't pick anyone. The others route includes all the side girls (Quinn etc.), but may lock you out of an ending with any of the main girls (though we don't know this for sure yet).

Playing Steam version and installed Scrappy's mod. I'm having these numbers at the top left side of the screen (render count or smth). How to get rid of it ?

That's the

, which shows how many of the available dialogue blocks you've seen.

The progress indicator now can be accessed using the F2 key, in addition to the Shift+Alt+P binding. The latter binding has been fixed to work reliably on PC platforms.

So hitting F2 (or Shift+Alt+P) should make it go away (assuming Steam doesn't mess with the standard key bindings).

I'm a bit surprised the scrappy mod works with the Steam version...

I have never played the steam version of the game. Are there achievements in the game?

Yes.

i dont get what is the worst on that scenarios of yours, for me, the worst scenario is having sage dead by a drug addict cause quinn's fault

And how did you feel about that scene in episode 8? I know many Sage fans who feel like their character died or lost a lot of points.

 

[Ahx]

hey there, everythings gonna be alright and if you need a shoulder to cry on! girls are weird that way, they will forgive a philanderer like me for all the crazy shit but they will never forgive a random act of kindness ....

i just assume that a random act of kindness means love and in their pety brains you can only love her... fuck others? sure, its just sex, but run to her aid in her time of need? YOU ASSHOLE YOU LOVE HER MORE THEN ME, JUST ADMIT IT YOU CHEATING SON OF A BITCH!

true true true !!!

I'll just close my point of view on the Sage/Jill choice with this.

It's my own opinion to think that choosing to Help Sage in need shouldn't have stop me to have Jill as Love Interest, to stop me from having that choice without knowing it, since we do have to make choice later in episode 8 with which Li we want to be, i should've had the possibility to have that choice for myself like in ActingLessons (Game that i love very much by the way).
I know some of you don't see it that way and i respect your view and opinion, but that's how i see it for myself, the dev didn't have to write a part that excluded one or the other girl since he wrote a part where you have to make a choice between multiple LI to become a possible girlfriend and by definition, exclude all the other girls except the one your heart choose.

Sage just had a common cold not like she was on her death bed so chosing to go with Jill shouldn't be such a difficult choice especially if you are going after Jill as your Li

 

[AchedCroissant]

I have another crazy idea. In EP8, Josy has no panties on at the gym. Did she maybe put her panties in someone's gym bag? If so who?

It is not very hygienic to wear panties if you are going to sweat

Totally agree. One thing would be to choose between going for a date with one or the other. Other is to base our choice in helping the one who is sick. Definitely Jill isn't worth it if she just gives up because I'm helping a friend in need, specially after all the support she got in the recital! I hope DPC changes it in the next chapters and turns Jill into a LI again, for those of us who chose to help Sage.

the choice is 'infamous' because we players know that Jill has a real problem (let's call it that...) because of us, otherwise in real life there wouldn't even be any doubt about what to do

there's no need for Sage to be in mortal danger, we made a commitment and that's enough

I wonder if the steam version is something like 8.3 and have more fixes.

There's no version in the main menu, but config.version does report the same "0.8.2".

Very interesting data,

Only 5% of players unlocked all scenes (this are the hardcore players that replay a lot, most players only play once or twice)

43% haven't finished Chapter 4 or didn't even started the game (this is very common for all games in Steam)

More 100% DIK players than 100% CHICK (I thought the opposite was true, definitely more CHICKS here)

In fairness I first played on steam, did one run then came and found this thread. So I’ve unlocked everything, twice (once with mod and once without), but that’s not registered on STEAM.

I played DIK first, but 4 of the 5 main LIs are on the Neutral to CHICK paths.

Not if you're a decent human being. Breaking a promise and not taking care of a sick friend when you agreed is a shitty thing to do. That's while my Jill run does not include the Sage path so I can avoid doing that shitty thing.

Hell, even after replaying it like 10 times I'm pretty sure I haven't unlocked all scenes yet. Because I've never gotten kicked out of the library by Bella, just seeing people post it on the forum is enough, I ain't gonna screw around with her, wanna screw her instead

In any case, just here to congratulate BaD Season 2 for finally releasing on Steam, and maintaining its 'Overwhelmingly Positive' review streak! Now we wait for Season 3 and hope that we can get 2 new episodes this year

Same, man. You don't just agree to take care of someone and then flake on them just so you can get a girl. It just doesn't sit right with me. Especially since they could really use the help when they're sick.

Asking Sage for her help wouldn't have fit Quinn's character. While Maya is stuck in her damsel in distress persona, Quinn is stuck in a Don't you dare pity me ! attitude. She grew up in a toxic environment, her alleged parents were a ravaged junkie and a dealer prone to violent outbursts. She obviously learned to act tough and to not rely on anybody. In ep6, the whole rat allegory and Rox referencing The Departed 's final scene where the rat crawling across the balcony, speak for itself. The movie was all about the rats, the survival and the strong sense of distrust among the characters. DPC didn't put the reference for nothing.

Quinn doesn't rely on anyone, she doesn't want to appear weak and vulnerable, she's not used to ask for help even thought she clearly needs it. Most of the time, she doesn't drop her tough and proud persona. It's probably easier for her, to follow in daddy's footsteps than asking for help and become indebted. She lived amongst junkies, criminals. The path she's taking is easier and more familiar. In a twisted way, she's trying to control her own life. Sure, it's self destructive but that's the whole point of the character. She's her own worst enemy and slowly she keeps pushing everyone away. She's too proud to accept MC chick sympathy and antagonizes him, she's too proud to apologize to Tommy even if that's mean the end of their friendship, she's too proud to admit Riona is right about their dealing issues and tends to be abusive in consequence.

When the DIK offered to help her with her money issue, the first thing she asked is what do you want in return ? Like a selfless act was something completely alien. And when she realised that the MC really wanted to help her without asking anything, she ended up completely distraught and confused. Then by her own words :



In the end, even if Sage had proposed to help her with her issues, Quinn wouldn't have accepted. That's not in her blood and the fact Sage & Quinn are close friends doesn't mean Quinn opened up about her past or her parents. She isn't chatty about it even with the MC. I'm not even sure Riona knows the full extend of it.

As for Sage, she couldn't help Mona, she witnessed Josy & Maya having hard issues with the HOTs, she became close to the MC and her whole arc with Chad put things in perspective. She's been proved a lousy president for 6 episodes. So that's her redemption, she finally acted on it and started with Maya. She started with something and Maya was the more apparent dissatisfied pledge. Sure one could say, she could have done something with Riona, Sarah and Melanie. It's kinda odd that they're all more comfortable with whoring themselves than asking for her help but Sage didn't want to rely on her parents. She didn't want to be a ass licker or be perceived as a spoiled brat like her adoptive brother. Her helping all the newcomers with their tuitions wouldn't have fit her philosophy. Like she said, a frat/sorority should deal with their money issue on their own. We could assume that none of the HOTs have ever considered asking Sage for help with their tuitions.

Sure Maya being the one you should help is exhausting but calling Sage Mother Theressa is kinda exaggerated.

Except she does like it, she's the type that doesn't want to admit it. But she's crazy in the sheets and up for some twisted shit. My kinda girl.

 

[Vamhite]

is this game complete?

is this game complete?

It's completely worth playing, regardless.

 

[Deleted member 4298851]

is this game complete?

Season 2 is. We still have Season 3 and 4 to go through before it's all done. So, probably another 4-5 years, mayhap more.

the boy studied...

it's a marginal note to what you said: but I don't see a real role of Mc in Sage's decision to intervene in favor of Maya, Maya asked her for help and she ignored her, then at the extreme gesture of giving up being a HOTs after having conquered her right she decides to take charge of her "daughter's" problems that she blatantly ignored hiding behind a meaningless motto (Maya can't turn her back on Quinn but Sage can do it with Maya?)

unfortunately then the help Sage can give to Maya is crushed in the very little space DPC gives her, so she keeps on believing in Quinn's complete innocence against all evidence and decides to do the only thing she never wanted to do (asking for a direct help to her parents) just because Mc had to officially meet them somehow
