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

[Deleted member 2673354]

you looked for two precursors to prove your idea and they do not

minigames influence the narrative of the game so they cannot be considered external. DPC would be a fool to make those who play minigames (which in theory should be the way he would want people to play it) have a distorted narrative

you've chosen an extreme example that proves no consistency. having a DIK affinity doesn't mean you took all the DIK major choices and it doesn't mean you decided to cheat on exams.

this is the first time affinity has worked this way, in retrospect we will see if it makes sense, for now it remains an oddity

DPC can't control whether we ace a test or fail it. Trying to make a minigame score match a CHIK or DIK outcome is out of his control, since it's player determent. He cannot control the narrative there, minigames determine the outcome. That's the point I'm making.

I'm distinguishing between DPC influencing the narrative and winning minigames. CHIK and DIK are absolutely consistent narratively, when DPC has control.

It's clear what each means. Sure, you don't have to go to either extreme.

Narratively, a pure DIK would cheat on his exams. Minigames-wise, it's how the player performs.

After we safely bring Riona back in the first 5 minutes of ep11, Jan2025, she should wear this outfit again.
hopefully the MC burned his

This is the same top that Quinn wears at the beginning of Ep. 10.


Riona hasn't been kidnapped yet, and Quinn is already stealing her clothes.

 

[Raphael77]

another mystery of the DPC mind

why does MC with affinity DIK have to be a bad chemistry student? what's that got to do with it?

Really? Did I understood right, the game forces you to fail the chemistry course if your MC has a DIK affinity? I always play Neutral.. Or is it (only) if you play with minigames turned Off?

Some?! What is she playing with?

A mold of my dick.

 

[jackjack5854]

The way Ep 10 goes makes me think there are stuffs that won't match what we think, and the story will go in a different direction from what we expect.

The theory that Jill's family knows Lynette and that will somehow matter to the main story. Amelia hears Neil's name and the meeting goes on as if nothing happens. Also, this meeting will only happen on Jill's path too. For something so close & important to MC's story this detail seems too path-specific. My guess is that with this, DPC debunks a lot of theories about Lynette's association with the Royce family. They just probably don't know her.

Theories about why James left. Bella opens up to MC in Ep 10 about her past, but only if MC follows her path too. Therefore I don't think her story will be woven into the main story. James coming back will definitely matter a lot to Bella & MC, but it definitely won't make things as dire and horrifying as we think. Coupled with Riona kidnapped, and Patrick being a controlling asshole, there's no reason to make James another dangerous villain.

For the story to reveal these kinds of details only on path-specific plays, and force Maya's story down the player's throat, with the whole gang showing up like the Avengers, I think DPC is veering away from dropping every backstory and tragedy on the player's head, mainly because there's nothing too important about them in the first place, and also it takes away the gravity of the main drama which is Maya. I have not chosen Maya in any run ever, and this new episode fully convinces me to never do so. The writing is excellent, but I just don't like her.

I am finally doing my Sage run from the start, ep 5: 'I haven't checked swyper in a while' que free roam where you have the possibility to progress your swyper relationships, if only ep9 took the effort to do the same, instead you are dropped into free roams with no fucking dialogue, or visual hint what to do next without actually checking the Task app in your phone. I think the only visual hint in the entire episode of something the player should check is Maya and Sage going into the theater room, maybe Quinn ripping Saly's dress and Becky getting splashed, but we are really pushing it here, since we only see them running, but not the room where we should search for them...

EP9 also has the stupid design where you are dropped in the room where you started the cutscene, instead of the room you finished the cutscene, there is no explanation why the MC is back in Jamie's Garden Room after the Costume Contest, he just went back there alone to do what?

God, I fucking hate ep9 and I am not even there yet

 

[felicemastronzo]

I completed another run, that of Sage having had a relationship with Jade.

I expected there to be a few more elements at the end a reference in the dialogue to the first date and a few other minor changes in the dialogue.

i was particularly impressed by the dialogue during the dinner date. a lot of important and meaningful things are said. it's a pity though that the reaction of the 2 characters is completely anaffective.
Sage quietly tells her boyfriend that after graduation she could end up anywhere and that it's hard to maintain relationships even if she stays in the area (then she adds that she wants to hold on to some people but no direct reference to MC). and similarly MC seems to be in no way touched by what Sage is telling. really two anaffective ones....

the scene where they chat in bed cuddling, although MC is a bit forced, is much more successful and warm, there they really interact.

I feel like a missed opportunity

I still miss Nicole's run (which looks promising so I kept her in the back) and Lily's run (which I'm only interested in for bullying Derek)

Really? Did I understood right, the game forces you to fail the chemistry course if your MC has a DIK affinity? I always play Neutral.. Or is it (only) if you play with minigames turned Off?

with mingames active depends on what you are up to while playing, if you win you pass.

Dude I totally agree with you.
Honestly, I hate nearly every free roam section in the game.

I think we can go on record as saying that the Royces did not know Lynette in any significant way.

they bought the house about the time MC was born (19 years earlier), so when Lynette was already gone, and the only mention was that the owners had rush to sell.

so it is likely that there is something important in the house somewhere abandoned. or nulal of nothing and it was just a red herring.


on the other hand, I don't know how to take Bella's two revelations. the one about problems with school regulations seems apparently a lie or at least a half-truth.

the one about James? is still extremely nebulous, it seems to be going in the direction of the soldier missing in battle, but not necessarily. assuming then that Bella is not crazy and not what she believes.

 

[NebulousShooter]

This really was foreshadowing for how pathetic MC sounds in ep10 on Quinn's route

 

[NebulousShooter]

Do you guys think Dawe will ever find Arieth's Dick Pic Folder?

 

[felicemastronzo]

Do you guys think Dawe will ever find Arieth's Dick Pic Folder?

folder that by the way will have exactly that name, with added "do not open"

I don't see why you get through the flashback story with Lynette by her diary in the main plot, if it's not to having a twist somehow whatever the branch you will be. The fact that Amelia not knowing Neil's full name doesn't mean she's a complete stranger to Lynette. We still don't know the last name of MC's mother and that's will have an importance in the future because in my opinion, it's gonna trigger something big soon, by at some point meeting Lynette's father (MC's grandfather) maybe.

Same for James, we got the intro of the episode 8 about him and Bella so I don't think it will be exclusive to her branch.
But the way of it's gonna be representated and/or the outcome would probably be different depending on it.
Like it's happening with the Burke for exemple in that last episode, we saw the story no matter what but we got some little changes if we did stuff with Jade or not.

The Royces don't know Lynette's family, but Bianca's family does. Geoff says that Bianca's father was the middleman in the sale of this mansion to Royce. Such houses cost a lot of money and are difficult to sell quickly, we know that Lynette's father had financial problems. Bianca's father helped sell the house at a reduced price; most likely he was a close friend/partner of Lynette's family.
In confirmation, here is this photo, the girl in the center, one of Lynette’s friends - Bianca’s mother.

That is, the closest link to MCs family is Bianca. But how this will work outside of Jill’s path is still unclear; MC and Bianca know each other, but not so closely. On Jill's path they can be considered friends, but otherwise they only have a couple of events and a few lines of dialogue so far. Although Bianca shows interest in MC in any case.

Why would she be Bianca's mother?

 

[mercytea]

Hey! Tybalt! We're rejected by Jill together. We should be best buddies right now!

 

[Krytax123]

Why would she be Bianca's mother?

Miranda? Because her looks are very similar and they wear the same necklace, its really obvious. The part about Bianca's father being buisness associate with Jill's father and the former owner (lynette's father) confirmed it even more

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Why would she be Bianca's mother?

Krytax123 was faster, and I am of the same opinion, this is the most logical from what we see.
Any other ideas?
