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

[Ottoeight]

For me, it's just a humorous distraction. A nice, but short, break from the drama of the main story. It'd be fun to get a bit more (it could be an optional objective) as it reminds me of the Borderlands 2 Bunkers and Badasses DLC where injected even more off-the-wall stupidity for no real reason important to the story.

Oh well, it would be nice if it weren't for the fact that the game's development has been going for almost 4 years and the story is still halfway through it. I'm more interested in discovering the fuck is going on, and what the damn happened in some main character's life, you know, than seeing some characters having some distraction for a huge part of an entire episode. How many months' development did the humorous distractions take?

Madame is karma incarnate for people who'd pick strippers over care for seniors *and* greedily keep the money instead of contributing it to common fund.

Hey now the Madame is an elderly lady too, and what better way to support the elderly than servicing some big ol (literally old) titties?!

No need to donate your prize into that Marxist common fund bullshit. You’re most likely a huge DIK with a full investment into The Pink Rose when you chose to accept the VIP card. The mansion mini game is also so easy that you’ll always beat it with stacks of money to spare

No because the MC is not included Zoey takes the place of the MC

Was going to simply give an emoji reaction but somehow have reached my limit for the day (thought I don't think I reacted more than half a dozen comments today). So here's my facepalm: If there's going to be lots of Josy-Maya-Zoey action, my MC needs to be there!

 

[nyrek]

yeah the scene with josy after meeting her dad is one of my favorite scenes overall...

yeah, this is like one tree hill levels of heartbreak

she has lots of really great scenes as an LI, but this one, when you confront her at the door and she says "I could have been happy with you too"
yup, that, right there. you can see the exact moment where my heart breaks /simpsons gif with ralph

 

[myukimo]

DrPinkCake can you update the game on Steam to support latest version of macOS?

Discord better

We haven't been able to get close enough to all the restaurant girls for them to lie for us though. Rio would, Quinn might, Cam might, but Sarah and Mel wouldn't. Especially if there's still some issues between them and Sage, they'd use the fact her boyfriend was involved. Hell that may even be how Sage finds out. Sage realises Sarah and Mel knew Chad was gay but didn't tell her and one of them replies: "At least Chad wasn't paying students to fuck him like your current boyfriend". It might be a heat of the moment comment that they try and walk back from but Sage wouldn't let that go and would start investigating.

That would only ever be a problem if MC does it while seriously committing to Sage, otherwise before they become a thing why would it even matter? Other then bullshit plot drama for no reason this is a non-factor. Even for Quin's thing blowing up in her face and Sage finding out the MC is like "I tried to tell you so many times but none of you would listen" regardless of participation, granted most of them were for free anyway because MC is a good guy and the girls like him with the exception of Sarah and Melanie.

Edit: Also i went on vacation for a week and you people shotgunned 50 fucking pages, jesus christ....

Especially Sarah. She is cold and rather cynical and direct in contrast to the more friendly Melanie. And it's hard to draw any conclusions about the Sarah/Melanie/Chad web. Did they just hide the fact that he is gay, or do they know something else? Unclear.

If a scandal breaks out, MC is so sincere that he will spontaneously confess it to everyone.

There's no getting away from it, not after Cathe left her underwear in Bella's car...

I don't rule out that possibility either. Maybe I've already laid the foundation for a disasterthat can't be avoided. Let's see how the DPC decides with the scenario.

yeah thats true about sage, but its just those "head over heels" thing i dont like... something like "hey wanna fuck? i still want too" and than they going at it.... dont know, not my thing, doesnt work for me...

If you aim for sage from the start the fuck buddy thing developing into something more works just fine over all... but not going for her and than bang her suddenly feels really strange. Especially cause she is not some sidegirl.

Maybe Sage always crashes the Tremolo, that's all.

you are much more optimistic than I am

I believe that even if MC in fact has never been a customer of Quinn's, just knowing of the restaurant's existence will be something to be forgiven by Sage

Tremolo doesn't have to report to Sage that he knows what Quinn is up to. This is the internal affairs of HOTs and he shouldn't interfere in them.
Interestingly, for all eight Episodes, there was no opportunity to tell anyone about the restaurant. He tells Maya to "stay away from Quinn - she's EVIL" but doesn't say why. He doesn't tell Sage and he doesn't tell Derek.
Perhaps the subconscious itself tells him that is dangerous to talk about it.

if MC is or wants to be Sage's boyfriend, the one she can trust should rather than send Maya ahead. and except to think that prostituting herself is really part of sorority activities should also as a friend warn Sage of what Quinn is doing behind her back.

now there is to see how merciful Sage can be on the occasion

You can even tell Sage that Arieth has crabs; that's literally "HOT's internal affairs", so keeping mum on the prostitution ring is just silly in this context.

The way it's pussyfooted around it seems pretty obvious it's only for future drama. No need to invent in-game justifications for it.

Yes, let's say I'm Sage's boyfriend/just a friend, but it's still a HOTs business. Girls will figure it out themselves, as long as there is no immediate big threat to Sage, I will not interfere.
Here another question pops up. We players see a lot more than Tremolo. How knowledgeable is he? Does he know that Sage doesn't know what business Quinn actually runs?

I'll try. Arieth delivers crabs like a huge factory to the entire college. DIK's suffered from this, so it's not an internal problem for HOT's anymore, it came out. If one of the HOT sisters is so stupid that she spreads venereal diseases and doesn't notice that she is sick, then I better warn Sage.

The third season will be great but I feel that not everyone will be prepared for what is coming

Prostitution ring also affects the entire college, and who is to say these girls are healthy? It's more than one girl being so stupid they're placing their sorority, and especially Sage as the head of it, in danger.

Seriously, it makes zero sense to just handwave it as "oh, the girls will just figure it out themselves" in one case if you won't in the other.

edit: to clarify, the zero sense thing being the MC is given option to bring up one of these things, but never the other. Whether it's actually worth mentioning it to Sage is another thing, it's fine to leave it to player's judgment/discretion.

I really hoped that when the (Chick) MC had one of his heart to hearts with Sage, he would have brought up Quinn's prostitution and drug trafficking side gigs. Just something along the lines of asking her if she was complicit with it and, if so, he couldn't remain friends with her because he doesn't like seeing the girls get used by Quinn. There's so much shit going on that Sage seems oblivious to. I just don't see her being okay with prostitution and heroin (or whatever the fuck Quinn is selling/shooting up).

I don't often say this but you sound like you know something just don't tell me Josy is really the villain and that she and Zoey have planed everything out from the beginning, i would go to dark side for that

Nah, it's just AchedCroissant fantasizing about MC crawling back to Smurfette the moment he sees her.

 

[FappingWorldwide]

I just don't see her being okay with prostitution and heroin (or whatever the fuck Quinn is selling/shooting up).

On that note, i haven't been able to tell whether or not the scenes where Quinn has red eyes means that she's high, or has recently been high and coming down? I know we have scenes where she's smoking and her eyes stay fine, and i haven't found a clear pattern. Is it to indicate stress / that she's sleeping like shit whenever we set those blodshot eyes?
