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

[Sasanid]

hi all
is interlude ready for download or i need to buy it on patreon?

You can download is for free on the 1st page here.

It's a standalone, too, not an 'update', just put it in its own directory, easy-peasy.

I admire your optimism in preparing runs that do not yet exist... (Josy and Maya separately, Bianca, Zoey etc.)

The sceptics, like bees, give their one sting and die. Remember ?

 

[schinoize]

Is your Bianca route save ready?

My main save so far contains only Nicole and Nora. MC is Neutral with Chick Status, who helped Jill with the recital. I should be good.

If you don't take it further at Bella's or help a sick Sage then you still have the option of choosing Jill but she rejects you at the restaurant, that's why I think he must have DIK affinity because you don't get Jill as a choice at all then.

Tbh I never played a 'failed' Jill run, so I might not know the exact details. From what they said (not getting invited to dinner), they seem to at least be missing the picnic though.

I admire your optimism in preparing runs that do not yet exist... (Josy and Maya separately, Bianca, Zoey etc.)

My motivation was high back then, but tbh the only run that would fall into that category is probably an Others run with Lily and Riona unlocked? Other than that, it was pretty classic stuff: Sage with and without fuckbuddy, Jill, unlock-scenes-DiK..My main run is so empty though, it should easily be possible to fit in Bianca or Zoey there if necessary.

Your flowchart for Quinn is incorrect on pg208. If Quinn refuses help eps6 when it gets to eps8 'Are you Sage's sex friend?' yes -> 'Accept the threesome' yes -> 'DIK or Neutral Affinity' yes -> 'Threesome with Sage' fails bc Quinn shuts MC down. Quinn refuses your help due to MJ will not allow this chain to progress. Perhaps if you follow it w/o MJ it would work if you didnt have rooftop sex w/her? Not sure there.

Thank you for bringing this oversight to my attention. Indeed, the condition is well specified in my walkthrough but left out in the respective flowcharts of Quinn and Sage. This omission is now rectified in the guide.

I also confirm that the threesome with Quinn and Sage is still proposed if the main character helped Quinn but does not have a relationship with Maya & Josy; or if he has a relationship with Jill but didn't help Quinn. The multiplication of the conditions for this scene turns into a puzzle due to the HOTs vice president's jealousy.

The threesome with Quinn and Sage? I really like being wrong..

 

[znar25]

Is your Bianca route save ready?

For me, yes. Also the path for Jill's mom.

 

[znar25]

I am disappointed Jill (on the Jill path of course) did not do any goblin for the sex scene.

 

[hakuna-matata]

For me, yes. Also the path for Jill's mom.

Don't forget the dead sister. There's always a market for that type of kink.

 

[znar25]

Yes, yes, but one more important question is... Will the blue haired girl have a lewd scene in EP9?

God I hope so. A really big one. Otherwise, the months here on the forum, until EP10, will be pure hell.

 

[znar25]

Don't forget the dead sister. There's always a market for that type of kink.

Hey, that would really lift Jill's spirits for Halloween. MC gets Zoey to dress up for Halloween as Jill's living-dead sister from the grave. Including decomposition. But still able to manage a warped smile.

 

[Kellermann]

for me we really know too little for these routes (assuming they really exist), when there is real content to be found I will think about it

you risk preparing a route doomed to failure (what if Zoey was only reachable under certain conditions? for Bianca do you have to be in the Jill path or could it be a dead end? for Maya and Josy being rejected is better or worse?)

since the time between chapters is unlikely to fall below 6 months, I don't see a problem with doing a special run when the time comes (doing an 8 chapter speed run without minigames takes a couple of hours)

I think Zoey will be obtainable on just about any path. Her entire purpose is to sabotage whatever relationship you currently have, so DPC is going to give you the option to (cheat or) ditch your girl to run off with Ms. Hepatitis. It is one of his favourite kinds of drama (LI vs LI). Hep is going to throw herself at MC from the minute she arrives at B&R and DPC is going to pull out all of the stops to get weak players to crumble. Just like he did with Quinn (a boo-boo nose and some sappy music is all it took, then a bit of broccoli and they were hopelessly entangled in the spider's web). I imagine that a burst of DPC machine gun Zoey drama is going to take down a good 40-50% of the charging simps in no man's land when we all go over the top on release day.

Ms. Hepatitis

Zoey's role is definitely that, but I don't think it will be a question of giving in to temptation or not

Zoey is part of the storyline, so regardless of our choices we will spend a lot of this third season with her or otherwise doing things for her,

of course in between there will be doors slamming, LIs crying and MC blaming himself for everything that's going on.

but at some point, towards the end of the season, there will be an apparent choice between Zoey and the LI we chose before, and at that point there will always be the risk of being dumped (DPC has always done this, MC proposes but the LIs put the stamp on it)

now we have to imagine what the traps for Zoey to avoid might be, and it is not certain that there are not specific relationships that 'Hepatitis' will not forgive us

Sage is a wonderful babe stuck in a toxic relationship
while getting backstabbed repeatedly by all the skanks in her group.
Granted, she kind a checked out of her head bombshell duties
with the studies and the heartaches,
but MC is set to correct all of that,
be with her for good and for bad, marriage material right there.

More like, the MC is set to have a bomb blow up in their face when the prostitution ring inevitably comes to light, Quinn dumps all responsibility for it on Sage as the HOT president, and Sage quite rightfully questions why her most trusted friend/boyfriend never bothered to even mention to her the shit sandwich she's been sitting on all this time.

(and that's in the most benign scenario where the MC wasn't buying from Quinn's trash trailer. If he did... welp, RIP)

 

[dalli_x]

Damn. I just wrote yesterday that Jill (Melanie) and Melanie (Jill) have reversed roles, because the real Jill (Melanie) wants to enjoy life at college. By the way, on the screenshot you can see the picture with the painted hearts, which can also be seen in the EP7 intro.

But I noticed something else. Melanie wears the same white dress that Josy wears later in EP8 at the dorm party. It goes even further. Melanie is wearing flats, just like Josy at the HOT's party. But that's not it yet. Melanie wears the shoes in DNG2 that Josy wears at the Dorm Party.

There I have to think immediately so that Josy shoes on the EP5 Preps party were too large and the shoes on the Dorm party also. The shoes that Melanie wears in DNG2.

Is Josy maybe borrowing clothes and shoes from her Aunt Jill (Melanie).

 

[ffive]

When the MC is on the Sage branch in EP4, he tries to talk to Sage about Quinn. But Sage doesn't really want to talk about problems etc. at that moment, so the MC can assume that Sage already knows and tolerates it.

This is true for all branches. The MC can assume that Sage, as president of HOT, knows about it and therefore is not obligated to talk about it.

I don't recall any discussion to such effect. Does it happen if you go to Sage at the end of EP3? If so, that's hardly univesal, and even if it was "i presumed you knew" isn't ever going to cut it as a justification.

I also think that Sage knows about it and is fine with the girls wanting to make some money. Voluntary.

Sage would have to be out of her mind to be "fine" with potentially being painted and charged as an organizer of prostitution ring in college, something that'd completely ruin both her and her foster parents in the public eye. And so far she's been shown as the opposite of this level of stupid. Face-palming oblivious? Yes. But plain stupid? No.

Pretty sure the primary reason this never gets properly brought to her attention is so it can blow up spectacularly down the road. Much like why MC doesn't ever bother to find out people's names until it produces hilarious consequences.

I have the feeling that Zoey will be a Love Interest if you choose "others" at the end of ep. 8, otherwise MC will flatly reject her.

I think that the first 2 seasons are "choose your girl" and the last 2 seasons will be "build your relationship".

"Others" means: "I'm not interested in any of the 5 main chicks" (heresy!!), therefore Zoey - and Lily, and Quinn, or no one at all - comes in.

Honestly I have no hope DPC can spin this without making Sage look like the dumbest character in the story, at least if she knows about girls sleeping for money but not the blackmailing, she is morally questionable, but not Arieth-dumb...

Edit. About the drugs she might have the same policy as Rusty, as long as its not in public, she might not care. Do we have any points in the game where she reference anything about drugs?

 

[Genesix]

I love cute girls

I love both

 

[NukaCola]

the reason is actually the opposite

it's not the 69 that's chick (or the hugging as it is with Maya). but that these poor girls don't trust a MC DIK enough for this kind of intimacy, everything else is fine (from rimjob to bukkake), but that's too intimate

affinity is really a wonderful mechanism

The most stupid thing about this affinity mechanic is that I can't take my diddo helmet off when going to sleep with Jill just because I have DIK affinity. I mean really? why the fuck not?
