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

[felicemastronzo]

From Sage's side, it really looks hypocritical. On the one hand, she avoids her father and shows obvious disrespect for him. She tries to be independent and doesn't ask for money. But on the other hand, he immediately runs to them for help for Maya's sake. And she's going to lick ass like her father did. I don't know if this is a deliberate contradiction of Sage or a mistake of DPC. Perhaps in the future it will turn out that Sage got along quite badly with Burke and even knew that he was cheating on Jade (she suspected that Melanie or Sarah were hiding something from her) and hence such disrespect and even contempt for him.

I wouldn't say immediately... it took her 2 chapters to understand Maya's problem, without yet having framed Quinn's responsibilities

the ridiculous issue is that Jade, as the one who is committed to the issue of equality and discrimination, and Burke, as the figurehead in the college, are the first two people Maya should have turned to for her problem.

the fact that Sage is there to present the case is pretty useless, it only serves narrative purposes for the awesome "fuck fuck fuck" moment.

My game does not start via the executable. Does anyone have any tips on what it could be? Thanks to anyone who can help me.

The .exe should work unless any malware programs remove them, some of them don't like renpy... Or if you don't have the complete versions but only the update... Or using some faulty mod with a bad .exe file. Can't think of anything else right now...

However the sentence "He's just here looking for new business opportunities" makes no sense, Burke doesn't do business, he was there to get sponsors.

No for Burke looking for sponsor is buisness. He does so because of his position and most likely in order to win some sort of reputation.

... the big difference between what Sage and her father do. While you can say they're doing the same thing the reason why the do so is so dramatically opposed that it can be see as different.

On my part I didn't see anything on chapter 8 that made no sense, we just discover more of Sage. At first Sage seems to be the typical "stupid head cheerleader" (even Bella and Jill get trick by that) then you discover that she take her studies very seriously. On chapter 8 you discover why, and why she does care so much about the HOT (who are also supposed to be a familly even if it's not the same as the DIK), all of that while remaining the girl crazy enought to jump in a threesome with her bestfriend. In fact what striked me (and surprise me) the more was how lonely Sage seem to be.

Other option was that Melanie was Chad's sidechick, but last episode proved that theory wrong. So something weird is going on there, but I believe that she is Troy's sister and she's playing cover for them.

Something is going on, but I'm ont convinced that it's weird. Those two clearly knew that Chad's other partner was male, and they were hiding *that* from Sage because they didn't know how she would handle it. Sarah even says that if she was in that position she would rather not know, and that's why she won't tell Sage. That's an automatic conflict of loyalties because you want to be honest with your friends, but you also don't want to hurt them.

As to how and why they found out, I don't think it matters. It could be that they're related but I see no reason to assume it. You could be onto something though, if Sarah has been *pretending* - to others - that Chad's cheating on Sage with her, to cover for the fact that he's really seeing Troy...

Burke doesn't do business, he was there to get sponsors.

Finding sponsors and donors for the college *is his business*. That's literally part of his job.

Also, many people who make money from stock market dealings, think of "I need to hobnob with these rich guys and see if they have any inside information on my next killing" as a business opportunity. I'd call it an investment opportunity, not business - but Burke,apparently, wouldn't.

i've finally figured out the true meanning of feminism, raise the boy to be an asshole and raise the girl to be good so women look better by default, 90000 iq plan

It's about how you say things, saying you are looking for business opportunities while you are looking for sponsors is not something that generates the reputation Burke is after nor his stature. It would make sense if he had said something that includes the importance of his attendence to do the necessary maintaining of his social network with upperclass to assure B&R the necessary funds to educate the next generation.... Ofcourse that is certainly over the top but nevertheless he would never do just business.... in his case he would be looking for valuable contacts or something like that...

What would be the problem if Tara was Leon's sister?

we hardly ever talk to her and if we have sex with her we don't even know it's her....

anyway she is surely related to someone, the surprise would be the opposite

Who gives a fk about Leon anyway? MC would bang his sister with or without his approval, the only DIK's that kinda matter are Rusty, Tommy, MC and Derek. The others are just there imo

Thanks for answering. My game is complete, when I downloaded it it worked and suddenly it doesn't open anymore. I will download again.

I see this game has passed milf city for the most viewed, no matter what you feel about the game you should be glad the top spot isn't held by a scammer.

Nobody:

dalli_x: Zoey has blue hair.... What else is blue in the game? The Jocks' jackets. Zoey is the sister of one of the Jocks confirmed.

It's so crazy that it sounds believable and if it happens you can say you're the first to say it

But every dalli_x theory sounds like that. He focuses on something, or thinks he's seeing a reflection in the eye of a character and pulling stuff out. If dalli_x was the storywriter and DPC was only a renderer/programmer, everyone would be related to each other, multiple villains would be undercover agents trying to bring each other down and the story would have so many swerves that we never would see the end of it.

Shit, I'm seeing the MC's reflection in Cathy's eyes. Does that mean that Cathy and MC are related?

 

[Lostanddamned]

Now slow down!!!

I never wrote that everyone is related to B&R. I was just trying or looking for who might be related to MC. There is a difference. And the likelihood of MC meeting a relative at B&R is very high.

Just mentioning that Neil has his fun, that MC should always use condoms, and that Neil had something with another woman a year before Lynette are strong clues.

Thought Process:
What if Neil overdid it with his fun? D9 also has another meaning, and a passage from Lynette's diary may indicate this. It says that Lynette's mother doesn't want to be in that place either, but has come to terms with it. What if Lynette's mother had consoled herself with Neil a year earlier and a child had been born? What if Lynette's mother was also Rusty's mother? Then Lynette and Rusty would be siblings and Rusty would be both MC's uncle and brother. Interesting. That would also explain young Neil's resemblance to Rusty.

Neil, Rusty, Derek and John Boy, all look like each other which is incredibly weird beyond logical explanation. But if Neil really fathered another child, it's going to be Nicole's kid. That's why he always warns MC to wear a condom, but hey he might be the next one to knock up Nicole.

As for who is related to MC, IMO it's going to be Rusty. He's either Lynette's brother or first cousin or something like that. Now I don't remember if Rusty and Neil ever met, but there's probably no way of Neil knowing Rusty beforehand if Lynette ran away with him.

Also, Burke has a significant lack of screen time at that party. I think man bun was a red herring and showing Burke engaging in the same behaviour would dilute that. Manbun was too on the money to be a coincidence.

I think that's the heart of the issue. DPC let the needs of the twist override proper establishment of Sage's relationship with her father. That was, IMHO, a mistake. He should have allowed Burke's behavior to match Sage's description and accepted that some players would see the twist coming. It's all well and good to preserve the surprise, but in the end a twist is a one-time payoff; the underlying story is what does the work on subsequent playthroughs.

To me it seems like the classic complications that DPC looks for itself (as with the loan)

if Sage had said that she had met her father but then left him alone because he had many people to talk to about work, narratively nothing would have changed.

instead DPC puts a sentence in her mouth that doesn't identify Burke at all, it's something more than a red herring... it's a scam

BADIK is a narrative too dilated in time to be justified at the end. in the next chapter, in the meeting with Maya, she will be the center of attention, i don't know how much space will be given to Sage's family relationships (if we will be there or like Mc we will be locked out waiting for the verdict)

This is true, but there's an additional benefit to making Sage so skeptical of Burke's 'fake' brownnosing: it makes it feel like Sage disapproves of Burke's reprehensible sex-for-tuition scheme despite Sage not actually knowing anything about the scheme. It's just like way the MC will panic over the fact Burke is Sage's dad (regardless of whether that really matters in a given run through) as a proxy for the audience's desired panic over the revelation that Maya won't find any help here.

In my view this isn't a 'proper' way to convey emotions to the player, but DPC seems to like it.

What if Lynette's mother was also Rusty's mother? Then Lynette and Rusty would be siblings and Rusty would be both MC's uncle and brother. Interesting. That would also explain young Neil's resemblance to Rusty.

If the game takes place in Arkansas( a southern state in the US) I believe it, after all there are only 3 last names in the whole mother fucking state

 

[vogelbeest]

As for who is related to MC, IMO it's going to be Rusty.

Anytime people bring up MC being related to somebody in B&R i always fear it will be Tommy.... He just looks like MC's evil twin!
