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

[ChipLecsap]

you know I always want to give you good news--but I can't

DPC allows us to skip the interlude but wants us to decide whether to treat Emma badly or not, so this will have a consequence and the most likely is a future interaction, if it goes well it may even be a simple phone call, but prepare for the worst

I think that's more like a personality "Setting " for Zoey, and nothing more. You can skip the whole Interlude after you played once for future. But you have to decide, about Zoey "personality"

A, She is more calmer, the "Bigger person"
B, She is more of a Vengeful "Bitch"

And this determine what kind of Person will be in future

She is more of a Vengeful "Bitch"

 

[Cabin Fever]

The San Diego crew picking up and following Zoey to B&R city? Why?? Why would they want to do that for someone they hardly know? You don't just drop everything to follow some aimless, wandering vagrant across the country. A vagrant who doesn't even know what she wants in life other than some big dick action. After a few weeks at B&R she will probably again decide she doesn't like it and must instead become an Alaskan fisherwoman because it is her real life's dream and dead granny would have wanted it.

I don't even know why the San Diego crew would want to temporarily visit B&R even they were somehow besties with Zoey. B&R is not exactly a tourist mecca, at least as compared to beachfront property. All they would do is take even more time away from the real cast members. It's bad enough Zoey is coming to town, but Amy Winehouse and Mr. Pink too? Please stay in San Diego.

Now, if you mean MC and friends going to San Diego for spring break, then I guess I could see DPC doing something like that, but the San Diegans visiting B&R, not so much..
And I pray to the F95 porn gods that DPC doesn't do periodic future cutaways to San Diego so we can check back on the exploits of boring people running a slow business that has nothing to do with MC or Being A DIK.

No, I mean DPC has alluded to them showing up in future episodes. As to why or where, you need to go ask him.

Dude, I'm old. You can bet your ass if I ever actually reference 21 Jump Street that it is going to be the original series, not that absolute dogshit film series they tried to push. Johnny Depp was in his youthful prime during that run, and most of the rest of the cast was pretty solid, too. Except maybe Jenko. Replacing him with Fuller seemed like a good move.

Channing Tatum and his stoner pals network of bad actors shouldn't be inflicted on anybody.
(I grant an exception for those who just want more of him in his Magic Mike roles. It's definitely not his acting talent on display)

I'm probably right there with ya......I'm not even sure how old I was that show came because I forgot when it game out. Because of movies with like Channing Tatum....somebody needs to make like a dumpster fire emoji. Would save a lot of time

of course I don't know ... but I don't think it's "just that," Zoey is still the same, what will change as usual is how she will be perceived, what consequences her actions will have

it is a very particular passage and one that in Zoey's story has a big importance, depending on what she does she will or will not still have friends in San Diego

from what little we've seen it would seem that one of the reasons MC gave up on her was because of Emma's post, which he more or less believed by convincing himself that Zoey was moving on with her new life in San Diego, so I think that point will be one of the clarifications that will take place between the two, from that to a direct or indirect involvement of Emma I see very little struggle there

p.s. DPC is very lazy, if he creates a character he reuses it, he has done it almost every time (including Rusty's new girlfriend just to give an example)

Make her a vengeful bitch and then hook her up with someone you don't like

 

[felicemastronzo]

Make her a vengeful bitch and then hook her with someone you don't like

impossible, not in this game and not in a DPC game

Zoey already has been rendered asexual on her trip to San Diego, let alone find any other cock outside of MC's at BR. impossibly impossible

Can we at least get some support having Zoey as our wingman to doubleteam Carolyn?

any other holes are welcome

But only one club is allowed, the club.

If not for the Interlude episode we'd probably already have episode 9 or be really close towards it' release but alas DPC had other plans.

This has been an occurring theme in the game. For example, when Rusty asked Tommy who Maya was in front of Derek and Tremolo, Tommy was about to say she's Josy's bestfriend and then Derek interrupted Tommy before he said that and said she is his sister. More convenience for the plot to happen.

I'm just glad he didn't do something like lure us right to the edge of scoring with a love interest, then yank the rug out.

Oh...wait a second...I'm being handed a note...

I like the flexibility to develop my MC's personality and watch how it affects the availability of relationships, how those relationships play out, and the differences in the interactions themselves. DPC's implementation of it might not always make sense, but I think it fits more times than not.

However, when it comes to the personalities of my MC's sexual counterparts, I'm glad they are set in stone by the author. If I had the power to turn the love interests into whatever I wanted, there's a good possibility they would all end up with very similar personalities based on my real-life preferences, and that would be boring.

So, having the power to mold Zoey's character didn't sit well with me, even if it's only in the slightest way, and I'm hoping that my influence will have little impact on her for the rest of the story and DPC gives us no further opportunities to change it.

No, because most if not all of the stuff in the interlude would probably still need to be created as part of Zoey's explanation on why she's back.

When I first started playing VN I disliked even having the inner monologues for more than the MC, because to me they seemed like cheat codes. I got used to it, as long as its not overdone, but I 100% agree I don't want to have a saying in how the LI's personality is being shaped.

 

[Tserriednich'sNen]

No, because most if not all of the stuff in the interlude would probably still need to be created as part of Zoey's explanation on why she's back.

Most of it could have been shortened to a lengthy flashback and dialogue but I guess DPC seems to always want to out do himself.

Well, it was necessary sacrifice of time so in future there will be no problems with transferring saves from old client into new one.
I see Interlude as a simple beta test (with a little bit of content ).

 

[Domdeyso]

The interlude is a kind of mini-episode played from the point of view of Zoey and which serves as an independant short piece to better introduce the ex-girlfriend's return. In the next episode, the usual main character (aka Tremolo) will resume the story.

Thanks

When did we first see signs of Riona's stalker, out of curiosity?

And why would it have to be considered Federal level? Are you saying only the Feds ever do undercover work?

If I remember correctly, the stalker is seen from episode 4. When Rionna talks to Quinn about Cathy; he is best seen in episode 6; in episode 7 she talks about him; in episode 8 his face is shown.

The Feds theory is interesting, even if largely harebrained and very speculative. But that doesn't mean you can't play with it a bit, for example: you can justify the existence of an undercover agent (not so much for Quinn's little business), but for the fact that she is probably the daughter of a drug cartel that existed since her childhood, ie 20-21 years and it may be that the DEA came up with the idea of watching her, discovering in turn, Quinn's business and the dirty laundry at the university.

Edit: I forgot to add. We still don't know the extent of Rox's involvement in the drug world.

 

[joker2008]

Speaking of which I read somewhere about this special save in order to carry over. Yet I dont see any switches or anything in Season 02 to turn that on or does that only apply to the very last save......which would bum me a little but not that big a deal

 

[Walter Victor]

When you reach the end of Episode 8, you are given a special save screen, which allows you to export what you have done for import into the Interlude. There is a separate slot for each route you take to the end.
