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

[aarbei23]

I don't wish to argue with you about the merits of the Interlude, but 'just some girl of the MC's past'? Come on! She was THE girl of the MC's past. They had spent years as best friends (not weeks as with the girls at B&R), and had drifted into becoming fuck-buddies. In fact, since the MC was not very popular, Zoey may have been the only friend the MC had in high school. He has mentioned no other.

I'm not going to attempt to persuade you to like Zoey either; that's none of my business. But love her or despise her, she was important to the MC, and may become so again.

I don't disagree with you on that. I know the MC thinks of her that way, but I as the player don't. Hence why I think it would've been better to have some interaction with Zoey earlier on (the messages she mentioned). So for me she's just "some girl from the MC's past". That's why I brought up Maya. For the MC, Zoey is indeed the girl of his past. However, for the player, Maya was that girl.

So I'm not saying Zoey is any better or worse or whatever than any other character. I just think DPC made a mistake by introducing her so late into the story/playthrough.

It's going to pretty hilarious when Zoey comes back and finds a DIK MC swimming in women. The interlude made it seem like the MC was more Chick/less confident back then

What do you mean "was"?
If you play with DIK choises your MC appear as snowflake with potty mouth (as Earl Grey once said), no more differences in main plot.

 

[AchedCroissant]

Zoey's parents didn't strike me as financially well off enough to pay for her college tuition.

Well, we still don't know anything about the father there is also the case that she can work at B&R... The planets will align and she and Maya will be able to work together? In the case where Burker offers Maya a job

Look I say this is for funtime but who knows nobody listened to me when I said that Zoey would be the protagonist of the interlude

Well, if you play the interlude for 6 or more saves for the several paths of your choice, you probably think you've been married to Zoey for 20 years or longer.... But joking aside, ofcourse if DPC had added more of her story earlier she would be more familiar already. But being halfway there's alot more story to come with all LI's, including Zoey and i think it's a good thing DPC tries a road less traveled by really introducing her late in the story instead of going for the easier path.
Besides that i have no doubt Zoey will be in the center of the story, she is not gonna be just one of the sidegirls, she will have an important role and we are just halfway so plenty of time for her to catch up.

 

[Siphon]

it seems really hard that somehow she won't get there

It's likely she'll come visit and maybe stay with the MC a few days (and cause drama that way) but any options for her to stay at B&R permanently will come off as contrived.

 

[CkPrime]

I decided to try and play this game again, and I still can't get past this fucking DIK free roam segment after the cum-petition. I can't find anyone else to talk to or new areas that I haven't been to. What the hell do I have to do?

I don't think that's ever been an issue so far....

that she attends BR is a secondary problem, it is necessary to make her stay there, pink rose could be a solution, or college courses in graphic design not related to a degree pathway

Up the stairs, straight ahead till you're at the toilet door, right is the janitor closet, left the way down to the other part of the mansion, click that door, sometimes the arrows work a bit confusing there...

 

[diego1823]

how do i import my game from season 2 to season 3??

 

[CkPrime]

Oh, ok. That's really annoying. The arrow looks like it's pointing back the way you came.

 

[Dónaill]

Not going to lie. Seeing Zoey date someone else because I stick to my LI would break my heart.

 

[Cricco]

If it helps, all shapes and sizes of beach bros already ran a train over her. We just didn't see it.

Stay calm. There is no risk

 

[chicho1958]

Did you check the door that leads to downstairs, where they all gather, kitchen and all that,where the other rooms are? I missed that one too

 

[lipe2410]

she and Maya will be able to work together?

I'll laught if the key to the dream of most players, Josy and Maya breakup, become the hated blue-haired girl

i mean, she should have been with somebody in the time she was away. the more i think about this the more it bugs me. she could have been with somebody who is deficient in one or several ways (obvious ones or subtle ones) when compared to MC, or show how hard it is to find real chemistry with another person. that would kinda hammer home how good he was for her and what she threw away when she left. it would definitely sell the narrative point that she finally realizes what she had and why MC is so important. feels kinda cheap to try and tell that story without showing her struggle with other relationships and have some frame of reference for comparison on what she has lost.

if DPC wants to be known for making mature content, he needs to not be afraid to tell mature stories even if it upsets the wannabe-harem/"canonical virgins" bros that will always play this game. you know, where people can have sex without the MC either before or after they have met him and it doesnt detract from their characters at all and in fact makes them more believable as people with history. he is so afraid/reluctant to show Zoey go through any of these kinds of emotional hurdles herself, so he has to make to other characters to mirror her struggles and have relationship problems that she can live through vicariously. rings kinda hollow when she isnt allowed to have any firsthand experiences unless its with MC himself

Kinda screws all the paths if you ask me, knowing she's back, guess we'll have to keep playing to see what happens

 

[yaroomjd]

Yeah the navigation early on is horrendous. It gets better and I believe starting in season 2 there's a fast travel button for most free roam events.

Zoey:

Yeah that's kinda the point more drama and it's probably going to lead the way for the option of MC cheating
