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

[PashafromRussia]

What's the odds this preview be the last image of the episode?

Maybe. Judging by the statuses that Pink posted on his discord profile, he started working on Zoey's content first. I do not know why everyone decided that he was writing a story from the end to the beginning, but if so, then it really could be true. But if he adheres to the classic rules of script writing, then this scene may be one of the first in the game.
Sage was the first preview in episode 8 and the scene with her was one of the first events, so I'm still thinking about meeting Zoey at the beginning of the episode. Knowing Pink's penchant for drama and unexpected endings, a kiss between Zoey and MС should be the finish line.

Unfortunately, I do not have time to follow all the information in the discussions. Can someone briefly explain why so many people hate Zoey? I don't see anything about her that makes me feel so negative.

She is a worthless waste of screen time that came when things finally got interesting. She is also ugly and her role in story is Josy, but worse as no one cares about her

 

[AchedCroissant]

So your going to cry and pee all night?

That sounds more accurate to Zoey's haters

I'm jumping on this bandwagon. I think everyone is okay with me writing that the Halloween party is at the end of EP9 because DPC has already introduced us to his party planner mini-game and we need to plan the party.

Why isn't the MC wearing his DIK jacket. This is actually quite simple. DPC shows us the MC without his DIK jacket a few times and we get used to it. But the most important thing is that Zoey doesn't know that the MC is a DIK.

Now we want to see that Zoey has a friend who is either a DIK, HOT or an invited guest (The Vixen) at the Halloween party. The MC tells Zoey that he has fallen in love and there is no future together. Zoey is devastated and her boyfriend drags her to the coolest Halloween party on campus to cheer Zoey up. The MC doesn't know Zoey is coming, and Zoey doesn't know the MC is a DIK for not wearing his jacket. Who is the clown at the party? Zoey thought the horror clown at Bret's tattoo store was cool.

The jacket is also easier to explain, but not as entertaining. Josy asked the MC if the DIK jacket keeps you warm. The MC says so far yes, but he doesn't know if it will keep warm when it gets colder. Heck, it's fall in BaDIK now.

I think I like this theory the best. Ep. 9 is the perfect time (now that MC has made things official) for you to let your chosen girl wear your jacket around campus. A status symbol for the girl that she is riding the biggest dick at B&R and as a warning to any wouldbe suitors like those jocks, to stay away from your girl.

1. I understand. People are triggered because due to the Interlude, episode 9 has been delayed for 3 months. Children's reaction. In fact, the return of Zoey is an important plot twist that will add drama and interest to the story, presenting players with an important choice. The game has been around for 3 years now, it needs new faces and new directions. Otherwise, people will lose interest.
2. Disagree. She is hot, sexy and easy going. Yes, at first glance it resembles Josy (actually perfect wife material in real life), but we know DPC. He will not add two identical characters and will always write the character's story and motivation. And he does it well. In his games, nothing is ever done "just like that." Consequences and disclosure will follow, let's wait for new episodes. While she resembles a young girl who does not know what she wants from life and this is normal at 20 years old. I don't know a single female character in the game that I can hate. Except for Becky, of course.

1. Incorrect, people are triggered because Zoey suddenly showed up way too late into the game when people have already lost interest. We already had to make the hard choice of a single LI (or the trouple for the M&J path) only for Zoey to show up now of all times. The events in the interlude make her seem even worse then she already did, especially with DPC classic lack of communication patented spin for brain dead Drama.

2. This is insanely subjective. I find her exceptionally ugly, especially with the blue hair and that specific haircut (mind you I liked Rena in AL but holy shit wtf is wrong with Zoey's hair), all of the tatoos are an absolute overkill, not as much as her bitch of a friend but still way too many.

DPC literally went "How can i introduce drama where there is none? Oh, I know, let's re-introduce MC's EX out of nowhere. I am brilliant!"

 

[Ilhares]

You are close to calling Boomer those who like me once used Lycos, MSN Messenger and Myspace.

I used all of those, and definitely not a part of the boomer generation. Wait, I take that back. I don't think I ever used MySpace, it was a fetid swamp of people who couldn't design a webpage to save a life.

Mmm i don't think AVN gives crabs.... But if Arieth was avalaible a lot of players would try her...

A lot of players have no taste or impulse control, apparently.

I think I was most surprised to see her in the B&R colors, even if it's not B&R gear she's wearing.

So Zoey got to B&R? Interesting.

We don't know that yet.

Weird shit is going to happen

I've tried that game, not particularly to my taste.

As a guest. She's not going to be accepted as a student if she didn't finish High School They did accept Arieth.

On another note, MC looks so much hotter with his new hairstyle.

Wrong on both counts.

"Through the mouth the fish dies" if I have learned something in my 31 years of age, it is I prefer to remain silent than to pass as a clown later

Don't put yourself down like that, my man. You can pass as a clown any time you want.

People who call Jill a goblin, what are your thoughts on the blue haired cunt?

I'll let you know as soon as we see one.

1. In fact, the return of Zoey is an important plot twist that will add drama and interest to the story, presenting players with an important choice

No, it would have done all of those things if we actually knew her or cared about her. Again, Josy before coming to college - we saw her, talked to her, got invested in her and when she came to college she became a rival to other main girls. That storyline works - once.

We don't know Zoe. We don't care about Zoe. She is perfectly irrelevant and comes ouf of thin air to eat screen time of the romantic plots that are years in development and finally coming to fruition.

This is frustrating. I want to see more Sage/Trouple/Halloween/Jill/anything but a completely new storyline that is pushed into my face.

. The game has been around for 3 years now, it needs new faces and new directions. Otherwise, people will lose interest.

No, lol the game doesn't need anything new at the moment, it can barely keep up with the routes and characters it already has. Jills sister? Maya family and education? Restaurant blowing up into Quin face? Sage and her family? Nah, who gives a shit, those plots are not even in the middle of their development so let's push them aside and bring another plot. We had so few before, right?

2. Disagree. She is hot, sexy and easy going. Yes, at first glance it resembles Josy (actually perfect wife material in real life), but we know DPC.

She doesn't just resemble Josy. Her role in the story IS Josy - a previous romantic connection from before college coming to compete.

He will not add two identical characters and will always write the character's story and motivation.

Cool. Can he stop adding characters and finish developing the ones he already has? Would be nice.

In fact, many people were interested in her. And how will events unfold with her return. The DPC has thrown out a plot twist that makes Episode 9 look forward to. I don't know how else to endure 3-4 months.

No, he thrown a plot with a Halloween party, Sage family, etc and then derailed it and side tracked it by a completely new storyline that is neither needed or appreciated. A huge part of the future episode screen time will be wasted on a character that shouldn't even be there for all other plotlines to work. You waited for all those things that took years to set up? Hah, fuck you, get yourself a new character pushed into your face.

And yes, with a character that no one cares about, tons of fan art are drawn.

Every single character of the game has art aplenty. Zoe has the least made even now, when she is introduced - you will struggle to find a single new art with her coming in a week. Bella or any other main girl has like ten every week.

Because you pointed it out so nicely, I'll give you something nice. Read what is written on the same sweater.

 

[NebulousShooter]

Doubtful he meant theories on F95 though...

Early on in Acting Lessons thread, he was reading/answering/throwing hints to almost every theorycrafting posts, no matter how long. I would like to think that, depending how busy he is, he still likes to reads through some discussions, at least in his discord and patreon, if not even peeking in here.

The thought that DPC has read one of dalli's posts at some point is extra funny to me, regardless if he went 'how did that bastard know ', or just laughing his ass off.

These guys still haven't realized that episode 8 came out in november 2021 - correct me if I'm wrong - and episode 9 will come out in october 2022 because of their beloved Interlude. This is what exactly triggers me.

But they still think that the Interlude was such a nice idea.

the most repulsive character in the game

 

[Lorenz1]

Let me be honest - interlude was shit and a dictionary definition of pointless - it brought no new information and did not make Zoe likable or worth being invested into. Everything connected to Zoe is waste of everyone's time and very little else.

 

[shazba]

I'm looking forward to her return. Have been since the mc told Bella about her.

Whaddya know. Different opinions on the internet.

I might just have to lie down before my head explodes!

I suppose I could go to the BaDIK space on Discord to look into this, but thought I'd see if somebody can help me here first. In the last free roam in the DIK mansion, there is an optional "water your pot of flowers" task. I cannot click on either plant in the MC's room--neither the small tree next to the desk or the potted plant next to the bed. What am I missing? No mods or anything installed, so it's either a bug or I'm doing something wrong. Thanks!

I think with the help of Zoey Pink it will be much easier to do branching and stories of individual girls. Plus, she can be the one who will combine characters from different paths and gather them in one place. And of course Pink wants to control the story, without Zoey, the story will develop somewhat chaotically due to branching, Zoey will give some structure

 

[Lostanddamned]

did you really just digged out and respond to a comment made by 7 months ago? . and to the top of it you even wrong about it?!

This guy is so wrong on all accounts, that I'm not even gonna bother replying to him. The fact that he replied to a post made last year that had nothing to do with him is weird beyond explanation.

Brb, going to find a dalli_x theory post from like 3 years ago so I can reply to it for no reason.

No, it's not a bug. It's just something that's not explained that well in the game. Jamie does tell MC that he's going to give him flowers so he can try gardening and by logic you expect them to show up in MC's room.

The plant isn't in MC's room. You have to go to Jamie's garden room with all the flowers. There's a pot of flowers that you can click on and that's how you complete the task.
