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

[Bendover885]

The guitar was a contrived way of getting the MC to agree to help Sage investigate Chad. I am not convinced that:

1. The DIKs knew the MC before meeting him after the guitar had been stolen.
2. The DIKs wanted to involve themselves in the Chad-Sage drama directly, and that MC is the best shot they have of breaking them up.
3. The guitar has any other significance outside the MC and Sage's friendship/relationship.

I don't see DPC doing 4D, underwater chess in his story-crafting. The guitar is a minute detail that was never explained well, and ended up serving as part of MC's introduction to Sage's path.

But hey, at least dalli_x can't accuse me of Jill bias here.

Does anyone have the link for skip free roam mod? i knew there was a mod that gave you the option to skip but i can't find it anymore.

Does anyone have the link for skip free roam mod? i knew there was a mod that gave you the option to skip but i can't find it anymore.

The mod hasn't been updated since EP 7

Hey! I've made a mod that allows you to skip some free roams and some mini games in the game.
The mod is not entirely skipping the free roams, it will still show you the scenes that happen during it and will give you an opportunity to use the phone as in a normal free roam so you don't miss on anything.
This is mainly intended for people who replay the game and don't want to waste their time on the useless interactions (moving around, searching for stuff, etc...) that are present in the free roams.

The mod is completely optional, every time there is a skippable event you will be asked if you want to skip it or not.

Spoiler: Skippable events

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I will add more events to the list in the future.

Installation: extract the archive inside the games root folder. If you have an old version of the mod already installed remove it before extracting the new version.

LAST UPDATED ON: 28/04/21

For any issue with the mod send me a message.

[sixart]

That's MC being so drunk he's seeing weird shit.

 

[ArmoredCascade]

That is actually James' and Bella's son.

well it was just because MC was drunk off his ass and he imagined it

 

[Rimmer]

Nah, pal. That's not how debate works. You made the assertion this isn't one. Back it up by providing evidence. You can say you don't like it, that's fine, but you're saying the story isn't good. So give them examples of games with good stories.

Nope, I gave my opinion it wasn't a great story and it isn't, didn't say I didn't like it either, you want to debate...then go ahead.

 

[Walter Victor]

Define what you mean by 'story'. If anyone is going to argue with you about your opinion, terms should at least be defined. Are you talking about the 'plot' or the 'setting' or what? A hint as to what you think is wrong with whatever would be helpful too.

Personally, I don't see any point in arguing about something so subjective as your opinion. But, whatever.

In EP8, we learn why Troy was kicked out of the Alphas. He beat Dawe and Dawe couldn't eat properly for a while because his jaw hurt. Dawe himself said in EP8 that he has no chance of kicking Troy out of the gym. That means the Alphas have no physical chance against Troy until Caleb is there, and Chad won't beat his boyfriend.

This is a campus and it shouldn't be hard to figure out which dorm and room the MC lived in.

But something about Troy is strange, whether the MC beats Troy up or not. He seems to know the MC. The MC leaves very angry and Troy is scared. Again, it doesn't matter if the MC beat Troy up or not. I have a guess as to how Troy knows the MC. Take a look at the screenshots. Over the MC's right shoulder I suspect Tommy and over the left shoulder I suspect Troy.

Spoiler: Screenshots

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I suspect this is why Tommy is angry at the MC and acting like an asshole as a DIK father. Troy witnessed the whole thing and we learned in this flashback that Tommy's friends just watched and didn't help him. This could have been the reason for Tommy's hatred of the Alphas, because Troy didn't help him in high school. Tommy told Rusty in EP5 that he is much more athletic than him and that he was not accepted by the Alphas. The reason could have been Troy or Chad.

Because of this high school experience, Troy might be afraid of the MC and Tommy knows what the MC is capable of, which he then tells Quinn, who gets a stun gun when Maya rubs the MC's tail.

Tommy's fight against the MC has a very symbolic aspect. Tommy is afraid that he has mistaken a CHICK MC and is not the guy from high school. That's why Tommy attacks the MC. Stupidly, it's him.

MC is 12 years old: the MC gets his guitar. He loves music.
MC is 15 years old: The incident at the high school.
MC is 18 years old: He comes to B&R. MC can only play guitar for one guy. Troy.
(Not recommended. First, it is not in the official guide and second, MC should not become gay because otherwise he can only play guitar for girls and he loves music. Ergo, the MC plays his guitar for people he loves. In the best case Troy is then his brother and in the worst case MC becomes gay.)

MC 21 years old: Yes, there will be a 21 years old MC. And why? MC goes to college at 18 and Maya's calendar shows 2017. But in EP6 Maya's calendar shows 2020. funny, exactly 3 years. 18+3=21. i have a rough idea what could happen. But I'm not writing this yet because there are too few clues.

I don't see why Chad can't beat Troy, I mean he punched Anthony after MC made fun of him that he was gay. He can do it if they both know that it's acting and not to blow their cover. Bassicaly somethings similary to Maya/Josy, where inside their room they would be able to fulfill their relationship but outside they would cover themself as straight, less violent but still a way to hide the fact that they are gay.

For the dorms, it isn't hard if you just follow, but would they really follow him when they can just enjoy themself ? It's the same guys who were ready to just stop the DIK because they couldn't have Rusty's father help them.

Scared perhaps but it can also be worried, Troy isn't a bad guy same for Chad, they act like asshole because they have to hide the relationship.

For the rest, I can't really speak about it because it make no sense to me, also your last sentence isn't necessary because it give the same vibe than this "Yeah I know what is in the Area 51 (or others) but I can't say it because it's too dangerous for humanity to know, but I really know." .

Comparing EP2 to EPI makes you wonder what did him take so long. Its a much smaller episode but it was made for longer. Really makes you think what DPC spends money on. Not on his PC obviously.

I know we're not supposed to feed the trolls, but..

At the time Ep 1 came out, he didn't have the massive army of supporters he has now, and over the course of the next few episodes he did get the funds together to do significant PC upgrades. As I recall he has at leas 3 machines with quality rendering hardware in them now.

 

[PashafromRussia]

It's strange how many times I got drunk with ordinary beer, but I've never had such powerful hallucinations as MС. Hell, I even smoked weed a couple of times and even then I didn't have such "high". It feels like they added LSD to the beer.

 

[shazba]

Depends what you are looking for, if you want attractive characters, good animations and some humour, then you will like this, but if you are looking for a great story......then this might not be for you.

Okay... list the great story porn games for me if you will...

Please list what's so great about this story.

Nah, pal. That's not how debate works. You made the assertion this isn't one. Back it up by providing evidence. You can say you don't like it, that's fine, but you're saying the story isn't good. So give them examples of games with good stories.

Most people that suggest the story isn't great are those who are looking for a strong plot. Something that compels the mc through the events.

Most stories here have an obvious aim for their mcs.

The mc in this game has no specific aim.

Like what is he actually trying to achieve?

• He's not trying to save the beautiful princess from the evil queen (well he did do that once).
• He's not trying to use the Book of the Dead to get himself back to his own time.
• He's not dealing with insomnia and an alter ego intent on blowing up to blow up the world's main bank servers in order to wipe out all debt.
• He's not teaming up with his brother to get his band back together to raise enough money to save the orphanage he grew up in.
• He's not trying to stop the Nazi's from obtaining God's covenant to the world and tapping into its untold powers.
• Depending on how you play the game, he's not even trying very hard to graduate from college.

He's just floating from day to day, occasionally fucking different girls (sometimes a bit more than occasionally ), and helping out his friends when he can.

The mc doesn't even have any pressing issues of his own to deal with. I mean, he'd like to find out more about his mom, but he's not really putting any emphasis on seriously getting through her diary. Then there was that one time when he didn't have any clothes...

So all-in-all, I can agree with anyone that says it's not a "great" story, if by "great" they mean a huge sweeping plot of "Ben Hur" proportions (not the remake, I heard that was shit).

But that doesn't mean the story isn't highly entertaining.

Just like Rimmer said in his opening line, "Depends what you are looking for..."

magaclaawe was actually comparing the development time of episode 2 vs the development time of the Interlude (ep-I).

I'd say that the Interlude took longer because that period included Christmas and New Year, so DPC probably took time off.

Also there was a lot of overhead in the Interlude that Ep2 didn't have. The overall game template was different, there was the new season import to get working, new characters to design, new minigames (shit ones unfortunately) to create, and even though there were less animations and images, the animations were longer (like almost 30% longer than episode 2's animations).

Episode 2 didn't have much of an overhead since everything created in Episode 1 was reused, where as the Interlude was almost an entirely new game with a new look and feel.

If Pink wasn't an incredibly controlling dude, but would have just outsourced the beta testing of the game, polishing and preparing digital release in game stores to someone, we wouldn't have received 2 months of delay.
I'm sure he'll get to that one day. Just imagine how huge the game will become by the end of season 3. He will fix bugs and test for several months!

Doesn't matter, i still want to use it, but i couldn't find the link anymore, thanks.

I think he really needs a team, if continues to do work alone, the game will take huge amount of time to be done.

It's not about time, it's about load distribution. With each release, some aspects of the game will degrade. A person cannot do everything equally well, he is a person, not a machine. Pink has set the bar so high that his mistakes will be noticeable.

 

[DrSoong]

Also, I never called Tommy a genius. Why are you changing my post?

Didn't change your post, only shorted the the quotation.

I didn't meant you called him as such one, but when reading your post, it feels you overrated Tommy too much. He has his brains much more south than the MC (Josy would agree), thinking only how toget the next joint and ride.

 

[DrSoong]

Well my bad but I aint gonna scroll through over 9600+ pages, its just easier to write up a question askig the active members of this thread. But thanks for the quick reply!

There is no need to scroll ALL the pages (BTW, i've set 100 posts a page, so i'm on 1925 pages), i started shortly before Interlude came out and read from there (still a big number of posts, took some time). So i have (a little bit) knowledge about how this thread works and doing easy with the different very active users here in this thread. This is my way to have fun while waiting for the new Ep (which will take some time to release), if you decide to catch up the older posts you will enjoy the different discussions for the same amount as you will enjoy BaDIK.

this is a low-level trap...I didn't expect it from you....
