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

[Eclipse69]

Episode 9 release when?

 

[Meushi]

Only reason i can think of is Bella is lefthanded.

Except left-handed people still follow conventional cutlery etiquette. There is no reason, apart from DPC screwed up and posed it incorrectly:

Bella herself mostly does it the right way round too

Having the knife & fork in the wrong hands is a surprisingly common error in AVNs, which annoys me to no end. DPC is pretty detail oriented, this is the only scene I noticed this mistake in BaDIK. Though Bella also uses a spoon while eating pasta on their date, so maybe she's just uncouth.

Are you a beta tester of DPC?

Have to be photshop since these saves are used to transfer to the upcoming interlude.

But.... if so.... Spill it Ached, give us more

 

[mindern]

for now we only know that she will be the "new loan", the "new blackmail", i.e. the new setback that MC will have to overcome, that will leverage feelings, guilt, a nostalgia that DPC has yet to convince us to have (and I think this is the main task of the interlude)

Do we know this?

oh don’t get me wrong, I’d bet money on it being true but maybe… just maybe… She can be more? Perhaps the choice will be LI or genuine friend?

A female Derek? A novelty in this sort of story in that she could be a woman he isn’t fucking. A female perspective.

Don’t get me wrong, we all know she’s probably going to be an all purpose drama creator. Something that can pump out drama fit for any occasion, route or affinity. But I hope DPC goes another way with it. He could, it isn’t a forgone conclusion.

 

[varage]

that Jill is essentially "good" does not mean that she is forgiving, in fact what little there is of her in the game makes me think the opposite, she seems to me a person with a moral compass quite rigid, she may be an angel, but she believes in hell and that some people deserve it (especially those who do not like picnics ... )

Her not wanting to bang you isn't the same thing she's still friendly with you.

if Bella, in that scene, thinks she has become what she hates, it means that before she hadn't been, otherwise it wouldn't be news, a shock

I did mention that.

this however applies if we assume Zoey will be a "new LI" or something very close. it seems pretty hard to me that halfway through the movie a main character will be introduced...

Very likely to me she's a new LI as we are getting an entire chapter to get to know her though otherwise what's the point of the interlude.

for now we only know that she will be the "new loan", the "new blackmail", i.e. the new setback that MC will have to overcome, that will leverage feelings, guilt, a nostalgia that DPC has yet to convince us to have (and I think this is the main task of the interlude)

He could seriously end the Loan nonsense here but something tells me that that is far from over imho. Especially sense we still need to get in touch with Mona I believe. Sage wants to as well a Camilla I believe if I'm not mistaken.

so we can be hopeful, in a sincere and optimistic way, that she will be a good segment of the story (she won't struggle to be better than her two predecessors), but I can't find any real reason to be happy about her arrival, unless one is so saturated with the events of all the LIs and pseudo LIs that one wants to be distracted

Well, Dik play through has only one LI's that's Quinn. Now if they make Zoey a pseudo love interest and not just a chicky boy. LI that would give her more impact as a LI. I think maybe you can get Sage as well as a DIK I'm not sure on that though as I've never done a Dik path.

Uh oh! Do you really want to start a war with every European on this thread?

I use chopsticks so all you fork people are weird to me.

Yes, and I've seen some devs give characters fork/knife in hand when bowl of soup is sitting in front of them.

I really don't see it as that big of a problem that MC finds out his dad is banging Zoey, if, MC picks an L.I. at the end of Ep.8.

I would be fine with that. Kills two birds with one stone. Neil needs some pussy after 20 years as a monk, and I don't wnat to have anything to do with Zoey. Honestly, I hope they do end up together. I'd rather Neil steal my ex-LI than my current LI. Speaking of which, I wonder if DPC is ever going to include a scene of MC bringing his chosen girl home for a visit to Neil. That would be a very funny and awkward dinner scene if it's Bella.

bringing a girl home , means it is serious - cant see that here (so far)
my mc is on bella only route btw
for zoey - same here - no idea why she is brought in now , except to cause drama

Neil when he sees MC arrive at the door with Bella:
Jill would be interesting too because we can see her reaction to how poor people live. She might regret her blasé comments about her rich lifestyle. Anyway, you are sure to get some fantastic sympathy sex out of it. it would be great if DPC wrote in a situation where the LI must spend the night at MC's home after dinner and she has to sleep in his bedroom.

in fact i didn't exclude it, but i consider it very unlikely.

I wrote some time ago, if Zoey would become a regular presence, as a true friend of MC, a friend who knows him and scolds him when needed, it would be great, but would DPC take all this trouble to add to the cast a character who solves problems? (even fairly innocuous additions, like Nora, have their purpose in being temptations that will exact a cost in some situations)

i don't think so, Zoey is a stone thrown in a lake to move the waters and she will have to do it, so regardless of our choices she will do it, she will somehow take MC away from some Lis, first temporarily then permanently (depending on our choices). once she will have used up her function maybe she will still have space, but i would say that in the case she will be marterial for the fourth season.

i'm optimistic because at least for my taste the mishaps created so far are among the worst parts of the game, so Zoey very easily will be more interesting anyway, and i hope she will be a good common motif for the third season, characterizing it and giving it unity (something the second season lacks terribly).

but that doesn't take away from the fact that, in my opinion, Zoey comes back to MC to be a problem, not a solution, if she has another role after that we'll see it

p.s. that MC will, or maybe will have to have sex with her is not even listed. BADIK is a porn game

 

[varage]

What I really wanna know is if MC and the main characters will be in the upcoming update or will it just be from Zoey pov and her life after parting with Tromolo that's kinda what I'm confused on.
So you have to have huge dik affinity to unlock Zoey's path(story) or does this have nothing to do with Tromolo?

Huge dick on patreon. Not MC

MC introduce to Neil his two girlfriends who also are girlfriend/girlfriend
Neil: "Well, i guess you didn't listen to me about being high"

btw , i think/hope too that zoey maybe is one of the few who can put quinn in her place-
because she knows all her secrets maybe ?! -
cant think of a other good reason to be her coming in now
(well,except the multiple times mentioned new drama plot )
if - and thats a big if - she is the one ,who sage mentioned, the mc should have known

I might actually have to like her a tad if she did that. I don't normally like blondes, but Lilly standing up to Quinn and for her friends is reasons she went from cliché side character to one of my favourites in game.

what are you referring to?

 

[Boehser Onkel]

what are you referring to?

sage mentioned at the beginning a girl who´s not longer there/abroad , the mc should know/would love to know

 

[varage]

what are you referring to?

I'd say she could put her in her place not by knowing her secrets but unlike all the other girls she's also a BAD GIRL so I don't imagine she'd know all her secrets but I'm pretty sure she'd take zero shits from Quinn if they ever collided unlike all the other love interest who currently follow you.
Although i assume Bella would take zero shits from her as well. But they are highly unlikely to ever interact with each other.

 

[felicemastronzo]

sage mentioned at the beginning a girl who´s not longer there/abroad , the mc should know/would love to know

the reference though seems to me to a girl older than MC, otherwise how would Sage know her back in college?

I don't see a likely scenario for Zoey and Sage to have dated (where? Zoey used to live in Mc and Josy's country and then she went to San Diego, even if she wandered a little bit it's not a long time to become memorable in Sage's eyes)
