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

[TomUK]

I see that many people here suspect Nick to be a "double agent" on the basis that 1) he was a close friend of Vinny, 2) his room was left untouched during the attack in episode 5. But these are the only clues. I don't agree that he 'acts suspicious' or anything like that. He is just a calm and collected guy. If he was a double agent working with Vinny (who obviously tries to destroy the DIKs out of revenge), Vinny wouldn't omit his room in order not to arouse suspicions. I think Vinny, when he attacked the DIK mansion, didn't touch Nick's room only because of their past friendship. From various conversations with Nick throughout the game we learn that he was never directly involved in the conflict with Vinny. Vinny left because of conflict with Tommy and, maybe, Rusty. It's very probable that while he holds a grudge against the DIKs as a fraternity, he doesn't hate Nick specifically.

Also, regarding the camera in janitor's closet/Derek's room, it's pretty obvious that Vinny is the one in control. He used a picture taken from there as part of what he anonymously sent to Dawe and Chad at the end of episode 2. His goal is to destroy the DIKs and one of the ways to do that is to constantly provoke further conflict between them and the jocks.

I felt a bit on the 'double agent' side concerning Nick, but I had another thought that maybe Nick and Dawe are real brothers but they keep it a secret from their 'frat brothers', I mean there is a similarity in the looks department and there aren't many last names known in this game.

Use the search tool and search for "Bella Loop"...

Or just look up just a few posts before you asked your question and you'll see that I literally just explained what is causing the bella loop...

I had the same problem on my run-through where I chose all the girls using the cheat mod I think, but I think the problem stems from the fact that you have both Jill and Bella as the MCs love interests and those two scenes collide with each other and probably confuses the game. I haven't figured it out yet, so got no idea what to do. I had Jill and Sage on one game and it worked fine.

Yes, that's exactly the problem.

It annoys me when instead of just being nice and referring someone to where they need to go to find the answer to there question people get on their high horse and just berates someone, they seem to forget that there are over 10,000 pages to this thread and sometimes you don't realise something has already been said about the problem because you're not actually sure what to put in the search engine to find the exact answer to your enquiry without getting about a 1000 different pages pop up. I've clicked on half the pages that some people here have referenced about the 'Bella loop' and gotten nothing that helps to solve the problem, I know what caused it, I just don't know how to fix it and that's the only answer I or anyone else with the problem needs.

I laughed out loud to this shit. Most of the DIKs' conversations are awesome.

I've been using Universal Renpy mod since launch day. It's fucking amazing for BaDIK.

Sounds nice! I can actually program. I was going to fix the problem with Sancho's mod (everyone calling me Sanchos after I picked Mark) but he has done some clever tricks to provent that (with an interesting hidden message to someone who has been stealing his code, nice one! Made me chuckle).

I have actually done really basic mods of my own where I'll go through the code, check the variables effected by choices and then just set the test colour for the best choice to green or whatever. I actually enjoy programming.

I may try that out though, looks interesting.

 

[ChipLecsap]

Nice trick, but badly done.
Josy can have all the doubts she wants, but to pour them on someone else is not right.
Does Josy have doubts that choosing Maya, or not choosing mc, was a mistake? Nothing wrong with that, but she has to think about it and then act with the courage that distinguishes her...

Trying to instil the same doubt in mc who has just told her that he is happy with what he is building with another person does not seem good to me

Josy has the right to rethink any of her choices, she has no right to try to undermine the choices of others, others apparently happier than her.

She simply ask you whether you think about what would happen if things were different.

How, you respond to that is perfectly up to you. May Be DPC could have been a nicer here with the coding, considering that a the midle response, is a very neutral, " Yeah a bit, but we cant change the past " kind of respons, still give you 1 cheating

But you can be fully committed, unshaken about your beliefs and shoot her approach done, by telling her "we would not worked out", - she might say she think you wrong, but she get the message.

But If you choose, the first option

Well...., You might not as convinced that it was the right choice, when you choose this :

instead of HER :



And That My Friend Is Absolutely Not Josy's Fault.

so be Nice, and take it with your own conscience, but don't blame Josy for it, that she might open the possibilities that if you might realize the Banana is not for you, a Fairy Goddess, might still be available

IF anything, I might worry, based on DPC current Writing style, he might fuck up the Josy path from the trouple path.

Who am I kidding,











And with that , Dear Jury and Judge, The defense rests its case

I hope so, but if every party is even as long as like the Prep, HOT, or Dorm parties, it will still be too long imo. I'd be fine if some of them were, but I don't want a party at the DIK house taking up a quarter of the episode every episode.

I actually disagree with this. If there is one party per episode, that would be about 6 more perks to be selected before the final party (assuming there are going to be 16 episodes in the game). Including this episode that would mean you would have a total of 8 perks for the final party. I think that's a reasonable number of perks, you don't need to be able to get every single perk, in fact you probably shouldn't be able to. There's only 12 perks so 8 is 2/3 of them.

The bigger issue with the perk system is just how essential some of them are vs the others. I doubt anyone didn't pick the no cups for beer perk this episode, it saves like a quarter of the spaces on the board. Food not requiring trashcans is probably the next most obvious one, and the liquor one might be the next, eliminating things that take up spaces is just too OP.

The cheaper drugs and kegs ones are pretty weak comparatively, especially the drug one which you usually only need 1 of and is an easy sacrifice if you need to because some DIKs don't even want drugs at the party. The ones that raise the budget will only be used if you need it and the happiness ones are lower priority. At least that's how I see it.

I've seen some people do good setups without the beers without cups one, and if John Boy wants trashcans too the next party that perk isn't that good. I'd rather wait to pick another perk until we can see next party's setup. And about the happyness ones... Maybe it could be worth it to pick them early even if that makes you get a lower multiplier.

Thousands of pages sure..

But one very easily accessible search button.

And if you know what causes it, then the solution should be pretty easy to figure out.

The number one solution to every problem after an update? Don't fucking cheat. Period. It's that simple. Well over 95% of every fucking problem is the result of you using modded saves. Any argument about "I donwloaded X from Y" means fuckall. If you didn't play it yourself, you're still cheating, and whoever you got your saves from very likely used a mod to get to that point.

The fault is entirely on you (collectively), the person behind the screen trying to play the game and having the problems, and the vast majority of these "problems" are discovered within the first 12 hours of release, and solutions put in the first post of the thread.

This has been going on here for, literally, YEARS now, and it's hard to be nice to people who are just spamming the place with a rehash of bullshit that we've seen THOUSANDS of times over the last several years, after every fucking update gets released. I understand you not liking the attitude of responses, but it's well earned, because you are the actual source of your problems.

What is "KRJ"?

One of the girls in the game the MC cannot have sex with, which drives the resident of this forum crazy with thirst.

I'm literally trying to do a run right now to make a non-throuple solo Josy save, faithful to Josy and cranking up her regret at every turn but...

It is VERY difficult to turn down Jill when she's on that couch in the lingerie. She just pulls me right back in...

It is but unfortunately this choice isn't logged via a variable. So we do know that Maya and Josy found Sage hot but this kiss didn't start anything.

You know the funny thing is, I used Scrappy's heavily for 8.2 and that's where all my saves are from. I still use it for 8.2. But I never chose the "multiple paths" option for my saves, so I never ran into weird looping issues. And I obviously didn't use scrappy's for 9.x because it's not out yet (and found something I like better).

So all of the mod-related issues people are having are either because they loaded an out-dated scrappy mod into their 9.x folder (which is ALWAYS no bueno), or they loaded a save with multiple exclusive branches active causing the bella loop issue. Easily avoidable with a little common sense, really.

I've used scrappy mods since season 2. Episode 5-6. Never had problems with my saves even the ones with cheats from scrappy mods. Such as playing chapter 9 with my save that have Sage and Others branches in one. At the end of EP 9, in one only gameplay, I could save Sage, Melanie and Sarah, Nicole and Lilly and Quinn (also having sex with Heather and Camila and making out with Riona). Ofc the only thing I needed to do was quick save and decide if I wanted to end the night with any of them or talk to Josy and Maya to get Sage's end of the night.

The problem is that most people don't know how to use the mod and doesn't know how to save their saves in order to work in a new clean version of the game. Whatever DPC does to stop scrappy mod, scrappy works towards it.

But taking in consideration that many people can't solve the easy haunted mansion event, working with mods and saves might be really hard for some.

That's the most real feeling part of it to me so far. Whenever I was single, I was single. The moment I paired off with somebody, they came out of the freakin' woodwork to get some dick.

So just like irl?

on my most sucessful gameplay of the party planning. I used crowdfunding, to get +4$ and I chose 20% bonus happier for whatever comes on next updates. The cups if you place tjem wisely it wont occupy many slots.
