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

[aykarin]

Clearly someone behind the scenes or someone good enough for the job we wouldn't even suspect, coz both Burke and Vinny are too stupid to be taken seriously, Tyballs is too busy dry humping watermelons dreaming about Jill, and some fans love Quinn, so DPC pulling another Leah stunt out of his ass won't sit well with his subscribers.

I agree with you partially, but I don't think Vinny is too stupid. We have no information indicating that he is stupid beside his wild behavior in the past (as part of the DIKs), but that was probably due to his wild nature, not stupidity. I feel like right now Vinny is the true antagonist. In episode 6 Buddy says Vinny is doing really good with his drug business (better than Quinn) and both Quinn and Tommy are visibly afraid of Vinny.

Vinny is great material for the main antagonist because he is basically the antithesis of the MC. They both quickly gain much power inside the DIK fraternity even without holding any official positions, they are both charismatic, they share the same room etc. Even in Tommy's mind the MC is similar to Vinny which is shown before their fight in episode 6. I suspect that Tommy's harsh treatment of the MC is due to the fact that he feels vulnerable and fears being overtaken on his vice-president position by a strong, charismatic person who reminds him of Vinny. DPC evidently plays with comparisions between the MC and Vinny. When the DIKs were just starting, Vinny gave them a motivating speech while standing on the stairs, looking at everybody from above. After the DIK mansion was thrashed, the MC gave a speech in a very similar fashion, standing on exactly the same spot. DPC, who created all these renders, must have delibartely chosen to create this parallel by giving us almost identical pictures. Also, compared to minor antagonists of the game (Quinn, Tybalt, Stephen Burke, Chad and Dawe), Vinny wasn't shown to the player early on, but only teased. We learned about him slowly and gradually, mostly from other people's talk and flashbacks. It's almost certain that we will get new antagonists in this game, but I don't think any of them will be more important to the overall plot than Vinny.

You should be an adult game developer . The ideas are there.

Be careful what you wish for, lmao.

I recently watched the movie "The Fallout", got me thinking.

If DPC wanted to cause mass deaths in his game, he'd probably create a school shooting mini game.
The way everyone is dunking on Dawe, boy's gonna lose it. Just gonna go all "Hey Anthony, don't go to school tomorrow" on us...
Just imagine AL x 50, picking who to save, who to sacrifice, who to take a bullet for.

Dude that's way too dark maybe in Lessons in Love, but not BADIK
Dawe will definitely try his best to sabotage the DIKs in some way, especially him doubting that he is the

She has standard body model like every other hot girl in the game and her entire personality is she thinks her shit doesn't stink. Can't say i see any appeal myself, although i understand some people love the taming of the shrew trope, especially when the game doesn't allow them to do it.

Her body is nothing special, her eyes are. But yeah, I get your point.

 

[Deleted member 5515203]

I dunno about dying but at one point I fully expect a "Derek or LI/girl of choice" moment where consequences will be severe.

Yeah destroying Maya's heart after choosing Josy over her when the split happens will not go over well with Derek.

 

[TomUK]

do you have to be on Jill’s path to get the Bianca photo?

Probably, as Jill only goes to the party if she isn't with the MC because Josy invites her.

If poor Cathy didn't commit suicide after the blackmail, we are all safe folks.

 

[Smackotron]

When does it happen?

Mate, look at her throughout ep9, especially on Others branch - every render she is in, she's looking at MC VERY PROVOCATVELY, also the darkness cluck and when she catches MC about to have sex with Sandy. She will definitely stan MC in Season 3.

 

[centcentcent]

didn't work for me, is there another solution?

for anyone who has the same problem. I was on isabella path EP8 and sage path enabled EP5, I chose alone path and disabled the sage path, loop broke.

Oh, c'mon. Dawe and Tybalt are both more of "comedic relief" sort of antagonists.
If we talk about tri-alpha bad boy, it's obvious to me that it's not Chad(wouldn't be surprised if in the future MC would have him as an ally due to circumstances) and Dawe(as stated above). It's clearly Caleb - the only one from all alphas who doesn't seem to be written as a walking charicature.

I'd love to have some kind of relativistic antagonist in this game, more of grey area, not all black and white.

Also, what a turnaround could it be if Derek would've turned to be the bad guy(illogical af tho). No-shirt Derek...Can't imagine amount of WTFs on this forum after that kind of twist.

Yes it is, but that's my brain, rated: not for everyone xD

I also hope karma catches up on him. Also, I am interested in what way will the stats help in the end, since you can make choices that lower the Prep/Alpha stats. Maybe if you build bridges, in some event later on they are more inclined to unite for something in the end game? Because Chad is turning out to be a decent guy, Anthony is alright.

There are a lot of stats in this game that are being tracked.

 

[Smackotron]

In my playthrough when I had Nick being the only DIK to see my LI to leave the mansion I had pretty closew thoughts to these. Wouldn't be surprised if Vinny started visiting library, all of a sudden.

I know, right??? Also Vinny may have hidden a dead drop in one of the books, that's why he trashed some of them!

yeah, I bet it'll even have it's own tutorial with tips like "pay close attention to your surroundings, notice which positioning will allow you to hit multiple targets at once and remember that you need to place some spare shells for each additional shot. shells are free, and they don't take additional space with a perk. try to avoid the windows and have fun!"

This is... sick disturbing. Like really sick disturbing

To me it were always eyes of judgement.

 

[Jericho85]

classic and smart girl will never make fool of herself kind kill MC mood if i was him. but i get it the choice even tho don't make any sense. basic said she break her comfort zone. I Agree more like Josy thing even i don't like costume but she may able to pull off in hot way

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I fucking loved the banana costume! If my girlfriend showed up in silly banana costume like that I would have gotten a kick out of it because it's my kind of humor.

That and you get to peel her out of it later

 

[popkai]

Idk why everyone hate Jill so much, she is adorable tho...
But if you want to be fk around mode, then you can't choose Jill route.

I don't hate her, she is just - by far - the most boring of the LIs.
