VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[felicemastronzo]

Bunch of posts about Chad. I had him categorized as a standard neanderthal asshole until his motivations were shown. He doesnt do shit for petty evil reasons like Dawe, he does it to protect himself and his love from a potentially life altering bad situation.

It still makes him a selfish person but so are most people, taking the easy route they know. Why buck the status quo when he can hide and skate around it. In a year or whatever, he and Troy will graduate and he doesn't need to think about ANY of these people again. Its VERY human, good writing so i like him for that reason as a character. There is no positives in taking the high road for him. Backed into a corner of having to hate what he is and hurt others.

Its not wrong to think he is a piece of shit. I dont know if I want to be that harsh yet, Chads a type of asshole for sure though. He acts out of fear and love and hurting people due to it. Its very easy to look from the outside and judge him as worse than he is because of his selfishness but thats not all he is. Society, expectations and culture have made Chad hate himself and that does bad shit to a person. If he was alone and did all these things Id dislike him significantly more. But due to having Troy he needs to do more to hide since he is clearly sneaking around. I cannot fully fault someone whos only friend is their boyfriend/girlfriend and backed into a corner to protect them and themselves.

Theres nuance here that matters a great deal.

On a sidenote personally I believe outing people is always wrong i think. This is life altering stuff that could cause serious issues, One exception is telling your wife/SO who you shouldnt lie to or keep secrets from provided they aint a gossip. And since my MC wasnt on Sage path he and said nothing, at the time I thought my MC would go the distance with M&J so my MC told Josy. You dont keep secrets from the chosen LIs. Any player whose MC thats gone with Sage should tell her. If your MC is with Bella or Jill keep the trap shut and dont blab to Sage&Josy. Or as a manwhore gigadik Others, tell everyone for maximum drama



Compelling. Not that i think it will happen but compelling framing of the idea.

In my opinion in retrospect the one we can re-evaluate is Troy, not Chad. Troy's only fault is that he loves a man and for that love he loses everything by becoming an outcast. Chad on the other hand in order not to lose anything humiliates both Sage and Troy. We may all be selfish, but such assholes are fortunately few.

I could even excuse him for Sage, who seems to care about him more as a status symbol than as a boyfriend, but what he does to Troy remains unforgivable

Hello, I recently discovered the F95zone website with the FR translations of some games, but it may seem a bit "stupid" but I find a lot of tutorials to translate a game directly but I can't find a clear tutorial to install a translation in a game...
I recently made "Good_Girl_Gone_Bad" I just copied and pasted the FR translation in the game folder and it worked the first time so I didn't have too many other questions but now I'm trying to put the FR translation for the game "BeingADIK_0.8.2" so I copy the files in the game folder but the game is not translated...
I tried to download rpaextract and drag the translate.rpa of the FR translation into it then I copied all the files in the game folder directly but the game is not translated...
Is there a manipulation to do or something I missed?
Sorry if this is not the right place for this kind of question, I admit I'm a bit lost!

You cannot translate a script in Renpy. To translate the automatic game it can even take you months since you have to leave untranslated areas, not to mention the flags, if you load a flag and it autotranslates, it is very likely that you will not find the error and you will have to starting from zero. Not to mention that this game does not need an external tool for its translation. I still wonder why this game is not in more languages? ...


1 script example :

if ep3_drunkBeerMayaFreeroam and ep4_drunkBeerFreeroam:

2 flag example :

de "I had more beers in my cooler. Give [name] the point."
ni "That's another point for [name]!"
scene ep5_evaluation15 with dissolve

3 variable script flag :

$ ep5_mcPoints += 1

4 final result:
if ep3_drunkBeerMayaFreeroam and ep4_drunkBeerFreeroam:
de "J'avais plus de bières dans ma glacière. Donnez [name] le point."
ni "C'est un autre point pour [name]!"
scene ep5_evaluation15 with dissolve
$ ep5_mcPoints += 1

translate a game that is very easy into the industry of videogames

why this game is not in more languages?

Ask DPC why? on Steam there were translations of fans and thanks to him they are no longer there and those who translated this game stopped making it

He likes the money but he thinks that everyone knows how to read English and people who speak Spanish for example and can buy this game they can't do much

Even video game studios, many times, fans help them translate games when they are smaller studios and they are happy because that way they would have more money from sales

When are you going to translate the game to French?

I know felicemastronzo is working on the Italian version of the game, but he ran into issues with how to make the MC make this handsign:

 

[Ilhares]

My good. Death is part of life. AL was so dramatic and I never played it because the MC was forced to make a decision. It was up to him if which girl he wanted to save. The dramatic thing was the decision.

Not quite. The MC only got to make a decision if he was fucking both girls. That was, and still is, my absolute biggest gripe with DPC on this matter. Missy was clearly the one who needed protecting, and I would save her every time, whether I was fucking her or not. But DPC wouldn't allow that, so in my first Megan(boring as white bread)-centric playthrough, I was traumatized by not being allowed to save the one who really needed it the most.

I still think the game was quite well done, but that was a shit situation. Apparently in his head you'll only automatically save somebody if you're sticking your dick in them.

As I always write. Prepare for the worst and be positively surprised by the opposite.

Dude. You write so much off-the-wall insane bullshit you are always going to be surprised by the actual truthful outcome of the game.

Is at any point that the MC is Bisexual?

No. Though he does wake up with Derek in his bed wearing a bra and panties at one point, there is zero indication of such behaviors.

The files are open, DPC has left those files that way for that purpose because they will not have time. I have given an example of a partial translation, some things appear in english but seeing their level it is better not to touch the script files since this is more advanced ,but it is easy to learn if he wants to work on this project it will not be easy because it has a lot of text but he will have my respect

 

[bxchun]

OK, i'm no snowflake like MC

That sounds like what a snowflake would say

 

[DrSoong]

With all the limitations of interpreting one render, to me mc does not look devastated, worried, guilty, scared but not devastated.

If he were really that shaken Jill would give him a hug

Yeah, you're right, devastated is a much to hard word but it's about that he is more depressed than angry. We have to wait for the context to see why he is looking that way.

 

[DrSoong]

That sounds like what a snowflake would say

Mostly cause i have to do with some during work, find the right spot and everybody is one.

I had this to start the day off on a fun note:

While I absolutely would have appreciated most things more than a cancer diagnosis, I think I'd still prefer cancer over finding out there's an impending crotch goblin about to enter the world. At least with the former I'm only dealing with my own life.

However, all things considered, yes - this would be an excellent bait & switch by DPC after all this time. The biggest negative I see is this: Why would a guy piss on a pregnancy test? To set up a prank and freak someone out? Who do we know that's the biggest joker? Derek.

My good. Death is part of life. AL was so dramatic and I never played it because the MC was forced to make a decision. It was up to him if which girl he wanted to save. The dramatic thing was the decision.

If someone has a misfortune or dies of natural causes, the MC can't control that, so it would be dramatic, but it would be out of his hands.

For example, what if the MC learned that his mother had been in a coma for 19 years and he was sitting outside her room? Then the $5,000 would not have been an inheritance, but just a covert support. The facial expression could then be interpreted differently, as the MC might think with horror that Neil has lied to him for 19 years.

In EP2's Steve Major Choice 3, we learn that Steve's father is divorcing his mother and that Steve is living with his mother. The MC said that he would do the same.

Read for yourself what book Jill is reading.

The model in which we are forced to save one and leave the other to die is most likely taken from the very first Mass Effect, when Shepard is forced to decide on Virmire who to save: Kayden or Ashley? A very similar situation.
Good theory about the mother in a coma, it really deserves attention. It's also possible. But why did Neil lie? Mysteries...
Haha, my canonical MC doesn't say anything to Steve, he leaves him to cry alone

The MC even has to tell Josy about it, because otherwise he won't find out about the beard agreement. And why? Tybalt is gay and that's why he blackmailed Jill. Not only because the MC was interested in Jill, but also because Josy was going to stand in for Tybalt as Beard, but then broke the agreement because of the MC. Peggy took over that role.

How did I come up with that? The silver bracelet and the fact that Tybalt and Josy knew each other. Josy only wore the bracelet once in EP4. There she also tells the MC that she sealed her fate with it. After that, Peggy is seen wearing this bracelet a few more times. As a companion you can also earn money and Tybalt can afford it.

The MC will eventually learn that Josy was Tybalt's beard for a short time.

God, this is going to make my head explode. Too much conspiracy. It's like people saying in my culture "to stretch an owl over a globe" How do you come up with all this from little things that may not necessarily be related to the plot of whole theories? Sherlock Holmes, is that you?

DPC has already shown us what will happen. The MC incident at the Pink Rose. The whole thing is shifting to the gym right now.

It doesn't really matter which girl it will be, but I suspect Melanie or Sarah. The MC will be more or less involved. Why actually? When the MC dumps Mel at EP8's dorm party, Melanie or MC said so they'll see each other later. I always wonder what the deal is with that because he dumped Melanie. But who goes to the gym too? Sarah, Melanie, Chad, Tory and now Josy and the MC.

Caleb isn't exactly charming to women, as we learned at EP7's HOT's party. I assume that Caleb will just misbehave and the MC will verbally intervene first. Then the situation will escalate and Chad will help the MC because Melanie and Sarah are also his friends. MC, the white knight in shining armor.

Now this is more realistic. But we still need more information about Caleb. The main question now. We know that Caleb is a dumb and ugly jock who solves all problems with his fists. We know that he is strong as a bull. But here is my question:
- Can he hit the girl? Or he considers it unworthy and rotten. How low are his moral standards?
So far, I have the following realistic scenario: Caleb will again try to bully the MC and the girl who will be with him try to defuse the situation. Caleb will insult her, and the MC will have to defend her honor, which will lead to a fight.

Thought it was a weird choice at first, but, given the textos she sends you after you choose her, I think it could be pretty fitting.

Damn, girl never had a real relationship, doesn't know what to do, so yeah, could really see her, like you said, simping hard for the MC (and being jealous as hell)
