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

[dalli_x]

I can see it won't convince you... but the " break up " happened at the train station... it's why the scenes happen how they happen to make you understand... but oh well !

You are right about one thing. It didn't convince me.

Nothing on this world would have stopped this trip from happening... the conversation was to be about what they mean to each other and stuff... you know them chummy talk turn into serious what future they face ( together or on seperate ways... )

In this story, there is only one person who can stop it. DPC. But it is his story. Guess why Neil gave the MC advice before the first date with Josy in EP1 that the MC should tell Josy how he feels about her. Wait, that's what Neil said. So he wouldn't regret it later if he didn't. Why this advice from Neil? The father must have talked to his son after the MC finally broke up with Zoey. So after the Rooster Cluck. Only after that cackle was there no more contact between Zoey and the MC.

I never seen Zoey as a CHICK... so I would say a dick or no dick But yeah dependent on this SHE will react ( most likely ) differently in certain situations ( but as I said before this was your doing during Interlude ) which means you won't have control over her... or just limited

Zoey can be a chick. She clearly showed that in her last conversation with Bret. Of course, it depends on how you interpret DIK and CHICK for yourself. I'm just giving my interpretation here without explaining it. I am not in the mood for that at the moment.

DIK = immature action
CHICK = Logically the opposite of DIK. So mature.

It has no relevance to us because DPC has not given us the opportunity to change anything. It is DPC history. But if you understand what DPC has shown us, you can extrapolate that these misunderstandings could cause a small to medium drama.

Sooo ? Is this really a too difficult ( math )problem to solve ? Back to the very first segment of this post... You can see this from an other perspective... since it was not love from Fuckface' side he let her go !... right there right then

There we go again with the misunderstandings that can arise from lack of communication. Zoey and the MC have deeper feelings for each other even before they break up. Either they could not express those feelings or she was afraid to do so. Why fear? They already had a good friendship, they both knew that. But if one of them didn't feel those deeper feelings and the other revealed them, it would strain the friendship. This was exactly why saying goodbye at the train station wasn't the end of their relationship. Zoey just wanted to say goodbye. So amicably. Suddenly, the MC hugs Zoey. Zoey is startled, but then hugs the MC as well. It is important to see that Zoey closes her eyes. When Zoey opens her eyes again, they look questioning. Through this hugging gesture, the MC has left his comfort zone and entered Zoey's comfort zone, and through this, they both realize that it is more than just a good friendship. That's why Neil later advises the MC not to hide his feelings, because the MC has done that with Zoey for a very long time before.

But the last two pictures are interesting. He shows Zoey's hot ass and in the last picture Zoey's eyes are open again. I prefer not to play Assman, because I want the Orange Sky.

So pretty much things that most of us already know. Got it

 

[felicemastronzo]

Eh, it's not going to be much better towards Sage or M&J. The Interlude isn't enough for Zoey to challenge the MC's waifu without making the MC's choice look meaningless.

At least not as things currently stand. So let's get a bit of prognostication out of the way. If Zoey is indeed intended to tempt the MC (and I believe she is), I think DPC intends to play the long game. Zoey's return will shake the MC up quite a bit, but he'll stick by his choice in Episode 9. Zoey will settle for rebuilding her friendship with him.

But as the season goes on problems will develop in the MC's relationship, eventually leading to him either breaking up, or being on the verge of doing so (sort of like Maya and Josy in Season 1). That's when DPC will club us over the head with Zoey. If we're lucky, Zoey will be optional (or based on our previous decisions). If we're unlucky, the MC will give in automatically and that tryst will the be the catalyst for the MC's actual breakup. Either way, Season 4 will be about picking up the pieces and making our final choice.

So there you have it. That's my Zoeypocalypse prediction. And for the record, I think that's a potentially valid approach (assuming he handles the breakups well, which will be no mean feat). I just think it's not going to hit as hard as DPC would like because even with a few more episodes' buildup, Zoey is not as tempting as the other girls.

MC hasn't committed to M+J yet so asking them for a break would be less "cruel" and Sage we've seen that she's been given the role of beggar, so she'd accept without a problem, letting him know she's ready to welcome him back....

anyway, let's not kid ourselves, Zoey didn't come back because of her friendship with MC, she came back because she misses him in a deeper way than she thought. at the end of the day she might accept his friendship, but that's not why she came back (also because she ran out of money of course.... DPC doesn't like LIs to ever look good 100%)

initially I thought that Zoey's arrival would not be immediate but at the end of the chapter as a launch for the tenth, but the detail of Neil's phone call in my opinion anticipates everything. once the meeting with Burke is over Zoey becomes the next on the list

Zoey cannot be 100% optional, there will be a first phase in which MC wants to listen to her, then she will have to make her decision and we will see what Zoey will do, will she stay on the bench ready to take over or will she accept the role of friend and that's it

 

[dalli_x]

Either that is right or the timeline that was set here by some member ( i dunno who it was ) is wrong ! Dealers choice

I am right. In Zoey's review, the MC clearly says that the last time he had contact with Zoey was six months ago.

I am of the opinion that nothing about Zoey will be optional, or, at least it will be a breaking point for the story.

Our MC has serious problems to resolve in his new life in B&R, with Jill, with Bella, with M&J, with Sage. He may have made a choice in the end of Season 2, but everything is still much in the air. Facing Zoey, will precipitate things. He has something deep to resolve with her, that he doesn't even knows yet. He's under the impression that she moved on from him. That she didn't felt for him as he felt for her. What will those revelations do to him? Will DPC give us a option of his reaction? I don't think so. The must probable will be a series of dramatic scenes that will establish Zoey has LI and BF.

Does anyone know the song of when Zoey was heading back home from Cali?

Isn't he mostly self-taught? He may not recognize more obscure techniques.

E7 is the most basic of basics. lol
But, I was just attempting to be funny...as the story goes, she supposedly wasn't making any chords and was making noise, and her finger positions in the render were actually making a chord that most guitar players would know, even at least at an intermediate level. I was self-taught, and I did it before internet was really a thing. Though it existed..just wasn't as commonly used as it is these days. Anywho...joke attempted, yet failed. lol

Bm11, but it would be weird to put the 11 in the bass. Or an add 11, but still, odd voicing. Depends on what the bass player is doing. but I'd say E7 is a more appropriate analysis.

I just picked my guitar up and played it and it sounds like ass with the open strings played. lol.....but raising the 3rd fret on the B to the 4th fret, ...EMaj7...now that's music.
But, I prefer the brighter tones over the darkness...so there's that. A theory discussion on a porn site...who'da thunk it? lmao

 

[Irqif]

i think i need to get hurt after i played this new Update...
(similar feelings when i have to rescue one of the girls from Acting Lesson)

no pls not that feeling again.......

yea that ending is shet

 

[RonWeasleyJr]

So...according to the "Skip Interlude" option, the only thing that matters is if you steal Ems phone or not?

Is that going to trigger CHICK/DIK personality in Zoey in Episode 9?


Like, if you stole the phone, then in the present day, she turns into a psycho hose beast towards the current LI's, but if she calmed Ems down, then Zoey acts chill and becomes their friend?

Well hopefully DPC learned from the M/J fiasco, cause that wasn't well received, which showed in the character polls for Maya and to a lesser extent for Josy.
I have no doubt that Zoey will be forced to a certain degree, but if he forces break-ups or cheating on the choosen LI's it will turn in another shit show and neither will that do Zoey any favor.

'Axl' as in from 'The Middle'?

 

[NewTricks]

The Interlude, IMO, is garbage. I have zero interest/attraction to these new characters, male or female. It reminds of me George R. R. Martin spending a whole novel adding new characters that no one had heard of and were poorly connected to the original plot. It would have made much more sense to just follow the MC on summer break, playing from his point of view, not some random new chick.

Hey now. George R.R. Martin knows what the fuck he is doing. A Feast For Crows wasn't the novel I wanted but it sure was what I needed. The first time I got a glimpse into the crazy shit going on in Cersei Lannister's head I never wanted to read another boring as shit John Snow chapter ever again. Similarly, it was cool to see Zoey's side of the story and get to know her as something other than a ghost that is haunting every relationship that MC has attempted since Quinn gave him a handy in the HOT sorority bathroom.

Update when?

I am in agreement that things will be precipitated by the MC facing Zoey. But no options for the MC and Zoey? I doubt that. Then what, do we have a kinetic novel for the remaining 7-plus episodes? No, DPC will give us plenty of options; he will also force us to do things, some that we don't want to do (like having to make a choice at the end of Episode 8), but they will be options too. And maybe his canon route is for the MC and Zoey to wind up together at the end of the game. But that doesn't mean that there won't be a lot of different endings, which will be based on choices DPC gives us.

Hmm! I just thought of something. Acting Lessons was supposedly based on something similar to what DPC had actually experienced. I wonder if this game is too. Did he have his own Zoey? How did that wind up? Well, that's not anything that any of us here will ever know.

EDIT: Damn! I keep writing Josy when I want to write Zoey. Those names are too similar.

 

[Canto Forte]

Some wonderful girls give him more and more .. so MC is coming into his own as a club going
manager to prepare a life of fun and good feels for his girls.

 

[forthewins]

I'm just coming back to this game for the first time in over a year, and I just made the big choice in episode 8 of who you want to commit to. I've tried searching the thread for answers but couldn't find a good one, and I don't want to spoil myself on anything that hasn't happened yet.

My only options were:
Josy and Maya
Isabella
Sage

What other options were possible to be offered here? I'm sure Jill would've been, but I like Bela a lot more than Jill so I've purposely been trying to shut that down. (Same with me trying to friendzone Maya from episode 1 on actually, but the game refuses to let me, haha)

I really like Lily, but I'm guessing she isn't a real option yet? And the same with Quinn and Riona I'm assuming? Not looking for spoilers on future events, but just wondering if I've based on my choices I've been shut out of other options so far. Or maybe even shut out of not choosing anyone. (I'm neutral affinity, if that matters)

A feast for Crows actually gave details to characters that were part of the main story and important details that couldn't have been given briefly.

Whereas the interlude simply shouldn't have existed the whole of interlude could have been dealt with a simple conservation between the mc and Zoey.

The conservation could've gone like this .
MC " Hey Zoey you're back the"
Zoey " yeah the whole surfing thing didn't worked out for me and a friend posted my nudes online and so iam back for your glorious dick"
MC " What're you waiting for them"
( Sex scene)
Bit exaggerated but that's what the interlude is .
