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

[AchedCroissant]

the ex girlfriend

Who?

But that's exactly it, if there is a surveillance operation going on and it would be much bigger than just the drugs, they would use a much more sophisticated way than a Van parked on a street, especially if, god forbid, the FBI would be involved. They brought Mafia families and drug cartels down, they wouldnt make PI mistakes.

but that's the point

the van is there so we can see it, a perfect surveillance operation would be narratively boring and useless, you have to warn of danger, otherwise it would just be random twists and turns

But what professional would even risk getting caught ? Most certainly nobody who was trained for the job. They cant know if someone looks or doesnt, they just remove that option altogether by being smart.

The authorities don't want small fry like Quinn and Riona. They want the backers or women.

Who says they only let professionals investigate on campus? I've already brought Jacob in as an informant. Jacob was arrested walking around campus naked. He gets a deal and in return he has to provide information. What if the destruction of the mansion in EP5 was a police raid? Then a few dildos are set up and alpha letters are sprayed on the wall. A room is left alone. All a nice distraction to keep an investigation a secret.

Guess why there are security camera's on campus. The question that always comes up for me with this picture is why Derek and the MC get off scot free. Are the security cameras turned off or are they being protected by someone? Another question is whether the sex of Maya and the MC in EP8 was also recorded by the security cameras?

Phew... this is gonna be a long one Perverts... take a break !

Because after that Zoey just lost all motivation for surfing and living there.

Nope ... I really do wonder whether or not you actually played this game... she ran out of money... and ofc she misses Fuckface

What your MC does with her will be completely up to you, though.

I really DO HOPE SO... something feels weird about this Zoey injection... I hope it's not a mandatory stuff coz that would fuck up the game in principles

Maybe the stalker was supposed to be investigating the DIKs, but flunked the Cum Petition and was then sent after Riona. In EP8, he is on the phone with his supervisor to file a report, but is interrupted by the MC. To avoid being exposed, he says, so he stalks Riona.

I don't think that tosser is an operative... I think HE REALLY WAS stalking Riona but that doesn't mean the one who " investigates " is caught in fact !

In principle, we may already decide in Interlude how it will go on with Zoey and the MC.

Definitelly... the whole structure of the game ( and ongoing ) screams for " if - then " scenarios approaching

Maybe it is also Leon's grandfather's van.

I only mentioned Leon as the " culprit " because it makes no sense and is an actual " SURPRISE MODDAFUKKA !!! " moment if it comes to reality

The question I have is whether or not Stephen Burke knows about this. If so, he is probably cooperating with the authorities, if not, the authorities will investigate him.

What Derek said in EP1 is interesting.
Derek: "I mean, how can the HOTs afford to pay the tuition for the freshmen?"
Derek: "Why do the security guards treat some people differently?"

What if the security staff knows that the investigators are on campus because they are investigating HOT Tuition?

" Outsiders " can't get involved in an ongoin investigation such as " security " sooo... I don't think ANYONE from administrative point is a person of interest... maybe from the investigations side !

was this in the interlude? Becais

"please put your underwear back on, I can't...I need to clear up with Zoey first..."

WTF!

The game now has a "Female protagonist" tag. The last time I played, there was no female MC.
Is there a female MC now or what? Someone explain.

It's just for the prelude to chap 3

I wouldn't look at this scene so deeply. The main reason for this scene is to create a prerequisite for further threesome sex scenes with Sage.( with Heather, Sara and other friends of Sage). This is the first full-fledged threesome scene involving LI. In fact, after the scene, Sage behaves almost like a his girlfriend. She says she liked watching MC fuck another girl (why would she say that?). And at the end of the episode, during a walk with MC Sage bluntly says that they are not dating yet, which means it was just the usual spontaneous drunken sex of three friends.

But my whole point is that in the preceding episode DPC went out of his way to make the MC object to Sage treating him as just a chance for spontaneous sex. Yet here he's suddenly willing to initiate a meaningless threesome with her and Quinn, even though in a couple scenes he'll be right back to insisting on a real relationship with her (assuming he picks her at the crossroads, obviously). That's not a character arc, that's a haystack.

The fact this is the first full-fledged threesome with an LI is all the more reason it should have been handled properly, not sloppily implemented just to keep up the titty count. Much like almost everything else supposedly leading up to that blasted crossroads, I like the idea but hate the execution.

What is the name of your MC ?

I went with Evan for my main. For my alts: Ace, Leroy, Jean, Tim, Romio, Cam, Ferdinand, Westly, and Quintus.

Hardly. I played it 5 different ways. Also looking forward to party planning in Season 3.

I enjoyed the mansion mini-game, once I figured out the basic mechanics for it. Almost failed to complete it first time around, but the second playthrough (first on my new PC) managed it without issue.

Hopefully the party-planning gets a mini-game as well.

Thanks for the response, but I didn't understand anything.

You basically take control (minimal) of a female LI that's going to be a bigger part of the story starting season 3. She's not an MC. (Unless you consider that she is the MC of her own story). It's the MC's ex's back story from when they separated up to the current time of the MC (end of season 2). It looks like she's coming back into the MC's life.
Think of it as Rogue One to Star Wars i guess?

Having looked at what has transpired, my mind was going down this line as well, and it would in fact make the plan more obvious from the start, if DPC is using stereotypical USA events as the humor clue here. Was he not referred to as a 'fast shooter'? What are US law enforcement pretty well known for worldwide these days? To me (as a resident), it seems like they fire their shots pretty quickly where minorities are involved.

On a personal note, though, Dalli- I've read most of your other posts, you really need to stop using the apostrophe so much. It never makes a word plural. You're not the only person guilty of it, it has just been standing out more and more lately.

just no bad ass hallway scene unless a pissed off Sage counts I mean from a certain point of view both Vader and sage are fiery red heads that said only one has been on fire . . . so far

That is fact, not speculation. DrPinkCake has even published (on Patreon) a hint at the mechanics. It will involve assigning people to tasks and balancing resources. It's on this thread somewhere, but good luck finding it.

Okay, found it. Here's an excerpt from his Patreon Update post of March 18:

This entire concept of developing a feature ahead of time is something I will apply again but to something new and fresh. Meaning that the code I write during episode 9 development will have to work for future episodes and the planned duration.

This might sound like I will be spending a long time creating a new mini-game, but since I'm part human and part machine, I've already finished ~90% of it. And to me, it's the most fun, challenging, and intricate mini-game I'll probably create for this game... Probably... I fucking love creating these things.

I'm aiming to set up the framework for the mini-game so that development after episode 9 will be a breeze in this area. The mini-game will be about something the game has hinted at during episodes 7-8, namely party planning.

I'm still polishing and balancing the mini-game, but I'm confident that any player who likes thinking, planning, and strategy will enjoy it. The choices and how you play the mini-game will also shape your game in different and exciting ways.

For non-mini-game players, there will be choices instead of the mini-game, allowing for similar outcomes.

While I'd love to show you the main mini-game GUI, I don't feel comfortable doing that due to spoilers and design. I will, however, show you the perk screen, which in itself might not say much about the mini-game, but it can give insight into how versatile your strategies will be this time around.

The perks and the design are subject to change as this mini-game is still a work-in-progress.

Something I wish I did more of with the mansion mini-game was the perk system; it's something I enjoy a lot in RPGs and character building.

So, this time around, I spent time designing a perk system that offers versatility in how you approach the mini-game. I won't spoil more than this, but I hope you look forward to the future of the series in this regard because I sure do.

That's not what I meant, but ok I guess.

 

[Lightaces]

If you haven't had an MFF yet, I really feel sorry for you, or rather, you did something wrong.

They are fun, aren't they? I heartily recommend.

 

[siliseric]

Have any of you done a playthrough where you specifically chose dialogue options you either never would or just never have?

Doing a run now like that. Already very funny, lolol

WTF!

would you rather, "no, MC, wait, you're too distracted for anal, you need to deal with your friend who just got back from her initiation trip to San Diego first, we'll talk about it later eventually"?
