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

[Walter Victor]

Most of all, I fear that we will lose control of the player after constant affinity. If earlier the player had a choice of two possible main choices, now it may not be a choice. We saw this in episode 8. Dik, for example, could not help cheating on exams and could not help but help Derek with revenge on the nerd. This will certainly make it easier to develop for DPC, especially with such a complex system of branches, but the illusion of choice may disappear. Neutral affinity is probably the path of the golden mean, which will have its disadvantages and I wonder what.

I had permanent-dik affinity in one of my routes and still had the option to 'Leave the papers'. That option was also available in my permanent-chick route. But, that was an option that was unavailable to me in my neutral routes, before I got permanent affinity.

Is there any comedy in this game? I mean, I just love comedy and wonder if there are any memorable ones that made you laughing until you cried (no spoilers please)

partially true. on the Exam for example, You do get choice. Dik or Neutral. I think Chick will be the same, just only with Chick or Neutral choices. and the Neutral path, sometimes will get either Chick or Dik options

absolutely yes, even if comedy is not the dominant tone

consider that there are at least 4 characters that have an almost exclusively comic function: Dawe and Anthony (who function as a duo), Arieth, Tybalt, and Derek

 

[felicemastronzo]

You will see that DIK, NEUTRAL and CHICK decisions will have consequences. The only question is how severe those consequences will be.

Guess what?

so far none of the major choices have had major consequences directly.

Not even slapping Tybalt, which had an immediate hit with Jill.

Tons.

I was coming up with examples to provide, and I realized this game has more bits than I expected on the subject of various things being shoved up anuses (ani? aneese? What the fuck is the plural for "anus"?)

Anyway, a short list of anal entertainment includes (without spoilers, I hope):

• A sort of Gilligan Cut between two groups talking about shoving things up their asses
• References to the acquisition of dildoes (dildi? dildeese? Here we go again...)
• A toothbrush being pulled out someone's ass (complete with sound effect)

And if anal comedy is not your thing, you are not only in the wrong thread, you are on the wrong website.

But there's a lot more to laugh at other than assholes.

I'm not sure of this. I dont think that the Dik or Chick represent a God or Bad ending thing, or even a good or bad way to play it, just different endings. Mass Effect for example, You could be all Paragon, and yet let the Council die, or be Paragon and Save them. The affect of the game was their fate, not your Status.
I see the Affinity System more close to the Mass Effect version. Paragon and Renegade simply allowed you to have different approach toward the same problem. One was the Heroic Noble, , the other was more the True Bad Ass good guy, who's not afraid to get his hand dirty. or one was Superman, the other was Batman . - I like Batman more
Badik is kind of the same, except, that Chick is way more less fun. Chick is like the loser, emotional lesbian guy, who somehow, gets the hottest girls, But makes you wonder why? Because he lack those qualities that makes it belivable. Its a Chick Flicks/Rom Coms movie.

More simply, The Dik is like "Van Wilder". and The Chick is like "Loser" with the Pie Fucker guy. and the Neutral, is somewhere in between . like "The New Guy" or something

You are wrong. The decision whether the MC accepts Quinn's restaurant offer has consequences.

Either the MC may order something from the restaurant or not. There will be a likely very serious consequence when the MC goes to Glory Hole with Sarah in EP8. She takes a picture of his dick and posts it online. Who knows who will see it?

Even if she posts his dick on Rooster or wherever.... it's not like MC has anything to be ashamed of.

Emma ! Axe Murderer MK2 engage...

emotional lesbian guy

WTF ?!?... And I thought that I've seen it all... Though all of a sudden this DIK idea as to dress like slutty nurses start to make sense..... welp not so much I've seen it with another " dress up " and it was... wow

I repeat: that has no direct consequence either

the fact that MC takes Quinn's number doesn't mean that he consumes anything, and also the fact of being a customer of the restaurant doesn't have any particular consequence for now (a few less sexual scenes, but the girls of the restaurant are reachable the same)

Dude, how long you have been here ? "Emotional Lesbian" , is like a nickName for MC since the Josy/Maya incident. It's just less used now, because... Well, because most people play Dik MC and now, as to qute Quinn : He is Walking around like He is the "Shit"

Welp an " emotional lesbian GUY " is a very strange choice of words to combine... to say the least If this was used here by the masses... Anyhow... a good wake up boing !

Okay, He was Called " Emotional Lesbian" the Guy part only added by Me. Still better than a Feminist Male, but let's drop it before we go off the rail.

Yesterday I was thinking this... If you had chosen Jill in EP 8 and she rejected you because of your MC's affinity would you have started a new game again or would you still play that game?

You should have used Josy for that example , because I have Dik Affinity on the Josy path. If Somehow She reject me in episode 9, then yes, I have to go back and do a Neutral Run. Luckly only til episode 4 , would I have to go back.

But the only character in the Game I was ever Rejected by, Was Quinn.

in the worst case scenario there will be Zoey....

but some other occasion there will be for sure, like that of Sage in the seventh, half the game is long to carry on alone

 

[Bendover885]

The whole thing with the Dik MC versus the Chick MC is all about the character's priorities. A Dik will prioritize living in the moment, impulsive and short-term thinking. A Chick will be more aware of the consequences of his actions, future-oriented thinking. Both ways are not right or wrong, but for some, one way leads to more happiness than the other.

I think DPC will make it so if you screw up any branch the girls will break up with the MC

It would be very easy for everything to be happiness when we are barely halfway through the story

And I hope that Quinn has her happy ending
