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

[Discontented]

My only gripe is that it seems like it's always going to force you to be with both Maya and Josy together or not at all. Maya would be like perfect if it wasn't for Josy. I just don't really like her for some reason, and by extension Maya if the two are always joined at the hip.

Just my two cents.

 

[ename144]

Man, I just want to be able to focus on one girl and not be a womanizer. Is that simply not possible here?

While there are a few caveats, you can focus on a single girl if you want to and the game will even acknowledge your choice. Full disclosure: keeping it in your pants rarely lets you avoid any prescribed drama, and the MC's thought process sometimes makes little sense if he's only pursuing one girl. But IMHO it's still a fun playstyle so I'd say give it a try.

The caveats:

• The MC has some mandatory romantic overtures with each of the main girls, though you can opt out after at most a light make-out session and the girl will merely be a friend afterwards.
• Two of the girls are currently a package deal; there are indications they will eventually get solo routes, but it's unclear when (if ever) that will happen.
• The MC has an ex-girlfriend (his former BFF) whom he effectively broke up with prior to the start of the game; he has sex with her in a couple flashbacks, and she is set to return in Season 3. It's entirely possible we'll be able to friendzone her too, but we don't know for sure yet.

Just my two cents.

Yeah for me its the other way around...

Maya is very lovely, BUT i cant stand people talking about how much honesty means to them and that they need you to be 100% honest with them, when they dont want to do the same... i hate this, and met many people like that in my life.

I dont have any problem with having secrets, especially very personal things or things youre afraid of other will find out... but than, DONT demand from others to be 100% honest and tell you everything... and if they do, you have do be honest yourself...

Maya wasnt honest and had many chances, there were plenty of "deep" moments between the MC and Maya before Josy shows up... instead she flat out lied big time. Josy at least said she is in a relationship, doesnt matter to me if its a girl or so... but maya did lie.

I really cant get over that so easily...

Overall i really like Maya, but this thing alone makes her my least favorite of the Chick girls, so i said girls... Bella is not a girl, Bella stands out anyways... there is too much hidden with her to be a Love Interest for me... but she is fascinating. But iam drifting off...

You prefer Maya over Josy and wish to have a solo route with her, for me its the otherway around, i would LOVE a Josy only route... Josy is my favorite, followed by Jill.

If you get rejected, like the game is now... there are MANY hints that a Josy solo route is a realistic scenario. For Maya there arent really any hints so far... If you get rejected by them, and tell derek you have feelings for Josy, there are so many scenes when these feelings will be shown, and from Josy too... not so from Maya, there its totally only friendship...

Well if youre in the throuple, you can see that one girl is falling in love with the MC and the other not so much... so far i tried everything, but you CANT get a result where BOTH are equal in love with the mc... its obviously the decision in episode 7, who the MC will visit... (tried everything, all the other decisions doesnt matter for that) if you go to maya with the broken TV, she falls in love and will have sex with the MC in ep 8 in the spa too, and later on at the party will let him cum inside... dont visit her with the TV, you will not get this...

If you visit Josy she will wear the sweatshirt from the MC from the very first epsiode...

You cant get both, or better said, i didnt figured out a way to get both... but i think i tried every possible way.

But regardless of your decisions, with Josy it feels more like falling in love than with maya. Maya is kinda "distant"... but this changes a lot in episode 8, especially if you visit her in ep 7 with the TV... than it feels more like falling in love to me... with Josy it feels always this way, even when she is not wearing the sweatshirt. Even Elena can see that.

MC and Josy are closer than MC and Maya so far... and Maya has still a lot of making up to do... so far the MC is always reaching out for her and helps a lot... not the otherway around.

Well, but this is Mayas personality i think... she is more a hiding person instead of reaching out. While Josy is a very outgoing person. So all that fits their personality very well... but overall, that make me like Josy more, especially the honesty thingy.

I think there will be at least a solo ending with them in the future... and i think during Season 3 there will be a breakup scenarion with maya and Josy too, only if the MC is party of the throuple i think they can stay together... otherwise i dont see a future for Josy and Maya together... Overall i think, its up to thew player/MC is he wants to be with one of the girls later on, or with both. And of course your choices early on, will matter in this case too... thats why i made several playthroughs with them... reating them equaliy (or better said, i tried) or prefer one over the other...

But i think if you get rejected, there will be only a solo path option for Josy, not for Maya... i cant see a solo route with Maya without being in the throuple before.

I don't think she'll be back until the final season when the sex for tuition storyline comes to an end.

To be fair, Maya is likely to be heavily traumatized by her father over this matter. It's really not that much of a surprise she wouldn't open up about her biggest secret to some boy she's spent literally a few days with, when their "deep moments" amount to couple of making out sessions and sharing some very basic info. When you consider people can take years to come out with their closest friends... well. I don't think it's something that can be seriously held against her.

 

[BeingADikDik]

Maya and Josy might breakup if Maya asks MC to be her official boyfriend to deal with her father (and somehow, in the process, hurting Josy). To ramp up narrative tension, there will probably be a singular path to get the throuple back together, that will depend on MC choices - but I doubt it will have much to do with the choices of who to spend time with. It will probably revolve around telling Josy about Chad, and perhaps pursuing Jill.

Yeah, but than she should not demand others to be 100% honest and open... if she cant be, she cant demand that from others and than lie... thats what bothers me...

I perfectly understand her situation, but never ever demand something from others you dont want to do yourself. I dont like that, and no matter in which situation you are or how traumatized you are... its not ok to do this.

 

[Hahn1900]

I don't think she'll be back until the final season when the sex for tuition storyline comes to an end.

yeah i think too, and i think during season 3 there will "vanish" some more girls... Maybe Riona or/and Camilla, some of the Pink Roses maybe... DPC has to "thin out the herd" a little bit to have more time to focus on the maingirls during season 4, cause the plan is that season 4 is the last so far... there needs to be much more focus than on the main routes for the girls and overall storyline...

Near the end iam sure, we will see most, if not all of them again, maybe even with a "ending" for them, so yeah i think Mona will comeback later, but not that soon... maybe at the end of the game, maybe sooner.... but not before the end of season 3 i think. Season 3 ending might be a good point to bring her back and give the cliffhanger to start everything to "end" things with the sex for tuition thing during season 4...

Well, she doesn't demand you to be honest with her. She asks if you can promise to be honest with her. (the game railroads you here with making a promise instead of letting you choose, which is bit of a meh) And when asked to also be honest she tells you that "she can do it if you REALLY prove to her that she can trust you." It's not like you actually prove anything of this sort to her just spending few days on casual talks so again, i don't think there's anything wrong with her not trusting you so quickly with her deepest secrets. She tells you this much upfront.

DPC has to be careful now though, he's a victim of his own quality, because some side girls, especially Rio, have as many fans as the main girls. If Rio wasn't as popular as she is then she'd have been the prime candidate for disappearing midseason 3. But unlike Mona she could've been arrested rather than left. However I'm not sure DPC would risk subscribers by making that decision now. It's ironic that the 2 girls involved in the restaurant who could disappear without too much protest are the 2 who can't really disappear due to their links to the Chad storyline: Sarah and Mel.

The other option would be that Rio does get arrested however she doesn't leave the story. The undercover cop (popular opinion Lily but my opinion Nicole) approaches Fuckface towards the end of episode 12 during which Rio hasn't been seen since the middle of episode 11, Fuckface is then given chance to redeem himself for using the restaurant (if he did) or just to help Rio by bringing down Burke and Quinn, Fuckface at first tries to protest innocence and ignorance and insist Rio is innocent too, then the fnal scene is Mona walking into the interview room, Fuckface has another "Fuck fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck" moment.

Josy is a million times hotter than Maya, just my two cents

 

[felicemastronzo]

Not really all that strange; people who want to fuck everything that moves are often hysterically afraid of "their girl" practicing the same approach.

only 4 major choices are sex-related, so affinity is not a matter of wanting to fuck anyone (a really extreme choice in a porn game)

 

[Hahn1900]

DPC has to be careful now though, he's a victim of his own quality, because some side girls, especially Rio, have as many fans as the main girls.

Yeah thats right, i am telling this since i played the game the first time (which was with near release of episode 3) In my opinion DPC wants "too" much with all the characters... And not only the girls, the guys too...

There are so many Characters, its really awesome, but on the other hand... there are so many, its impossible to give everyone enough statisfying time. and with time there are even more than less characters... and with the start of Season 3 we will get even more. And a new main girl too with Zoey (well i dont think its very far fetched that she will be a Main girl)

After every update you can see so many complains about "oooh Girl x doesnt have enough scenes" and so on, DPC is already in a spot where its impossible to give everyone enough attention. And its getting more and more...

I cant really understand why he is adding even more characters now, even unnecessary ones, like Madame Rose, or the upcoming three "Vixens"... just Why? There are already more than enough interesting characters and every taste is been statisfied... well a ebony girl is still missing, but nevermind.

I think DPC should work on ways to get some chacaters out of the game, maybe not for good, but for some time at least. Of course the whining will be loud, but i dont think it would hurt that much... and i think it would do the game some good, cause it would make some more space to get deeper with everything else.

and there is a obvious reason why every update is getting bigger and bigger... more characters means more business to attend.

If DPC keeps it up like that, we will really hit a shedule with only one update per year, we are already near that. which woudl mean we are expecting an end in about 10 years... uff

Well it is what it is... and like i know DPC, he will not cut out characters, instead adding more... Which will make the experience even better and more "alive" but aswell, the time for development will increase... iam sure of that. If i were in his shoes, iw ould use Season 3 to get some characters out for a while...

It's a question about who can be cut without risking a significant drop in subscribers. The long update schedule means that if a subscriber sees their favourite girl cut for a significant period they are liable to unsubscribe. And Rio despite being a side girl is a favourite of a lot of fans.

Madame Rose will probably be cut if DPC can find a new money sink, especially as she's only on the path of someone who took the VIP and the majority of players probably didn't take the pass. Becky can be cut too I think without much backlash. The Vixens are probably just a one off thing for the Halloween party, I don't think they're going to be a major storyline, just a temptation on an MG path or a diversion on the others path. The Pink Rose girls other than Nicole and Lily already appear to have been cut, I don't see them coming back in.

Another option would be to wrap up the Chad storyline over the next couple of episodes as that would allow Sarah and Melanie to fade into the background and I don't think that would upset too many players.

Could even wrap up the Tommy storyline quickly as well, he only appears to be involved in the drugs rather than the prostitution so he could get arrested at any point if the police are investigating. Fuckface on others path and liked by Heather gets the chance to "comfort" her, but afterwards she feels guilty, declares that she's going to stand by Tommy and fades into the background.

 

[colashop]

you never had the chance without mod as far as I remember

nah, she gets mad at you for ditching her on the night of the party when you end up with maya/josy

Negative, not without modding the game, and that may bite you in the ass if you tried to carry those saves forward. Get a gallery unlocker if you want to see the scenes, don't risk ruining your entire game for it.

thanks a lot guys for the answers. guess i'll just stick with DIK route for my first playthrough, can't resist Jade.

Yeah there are many possibilities to cut something off... well we will see how it goes in the future.

As for now, my biggest fear is that Zoey will take too much time off the others... hopefully thats not the case and everyone gets enough attention, nearly equaly. Even if that is a near impossible task.
