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

[Deleted member 6546851]

So, of all DPC's twists and cliffhangers which one was your favorite and which one worked the best?

I would assume most people would pick Chad and Troy, but for us here in this thread we were already on board with that theory ever since a random bro posted about the red sneakers in Troy's room all the way back in Season 1.

Zoey coming back? I for one always expected she will show up since it was easy drama, but so far thank fuck DPC didn't use her like that, it's actually the storyline I am most surprised(pleasantly) about how its going. Hope he delivers the start of her route next ep copium

Sage Burke? I feel most here consider it universally dumb and depending on how you played your save overly dramatic for no reason.

To me, the best one was Patrick abusing Maya with the "Do you see?" scene in which the flashbacks played back to every moment that Maya had said it before. I noticed that the way Maya always said it was strange, but I never expected that the way she held her arm with the other hand was to cover up the bruises caused by Patrick's abusive squeezing. It's the highlight of the plotline concerning Maya and her problems with Patrick and the student loan so far.

Initially, witnessing the Chad and Troy reveal caught me off guard, but it made a lot of sense the more I thought about it. I didn't like it too much as a "plot twist", it was pretty mediocre in that way.

I didn't even take Zoey coming back as a plot twist because I saw it coming. While I enjoyed seeing her return, it wasn't exactly a great cliffhanger.

Sage being a Burke could've been good if DPC didn't fuck it up with the overdramatized horseshit way that the MC started behaving about it before he went on his "Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!" tirade. Overall, could've been good but wasn't because it's part of DPC's subpar writing where he'll selectively have the MC act like an exaggeratedly dumb person which is for the players to pretend that these moments are more credible than they actually are.

after we saw Bella being discovered by the DIKs as she exited MC's room in the sixth chapter, without any real consequence, why should we fear the others being discovered?

it's not a canon event, but we know it can happen and Bella's grim look is enough to avert any danger. it's like with a magic trick, at encore you necessarily get less excited.

Cliffhangers aren't exclusively about fear. You can be positively excited for them too.

We have two previous walks of shame. Bella did indeed silence them with a look, but that doesn't mean there won't be consequences if she keeps getting caught. You said it yourself an encore is less impressive. Will the look keep working? Will it work on everyone?

Tommy seeing Josy had serious drama potential and her previous walk was decent foreshadowing. It ended up being anti-climactic in episode 10, but it was a decent set up.

Same goes for Jill. Rusty was shocked as hell about it, but nothing happened in episode 10.

Sage set up positive expectations if you didn't fuck Jade and if you did and the DIKs saw the evidence you get a reminder of that.

The set ups were good. Episode 10 just didn't deliver on them. Same could easily happen to the Rionapping. It's exciting now, but will episode 11 deliver on that excitement?

the fact that 3 chapters have passed and that Bella is again caught leaving the MC room I would say are 2 very good proofs that the first time it happened it will not have consequences....

“Out of the game,” in this thread, any event has excellent potential, but then in the game this never happens.

my point remains that, if the LI who most should keep her relationship with MC a secret, comes out unaffected i have no reason to think that anything really interesting can happen. then i also consider it quite naive to think that from the walk of shame who knows what specific situations should have been generated on the single run, when we know that the body of the game, the essence of the story is exactly the same in every run.

Then if we really want to analyze the specific situations:

• for Sage and Jill it was really hard to see why that would ever be a problem, so much so that then in reality it is not the DIKs who discover anything, but there is a real announcement to the public.
• what on earth was Tommy supposed to do? we're talking about a character who has consistently, from the very first moment, had an aggressive attitude toward MC, what more was he supposed to do? another fight?
• Bella after being found out by everyone is found out again but by one DIK, who by the way already knew from last time, but only this time a terrible clockwork mechanism will trigger inexorable

so a weak magic trick performed 2 times in a row

Looking forward to the cliff hanger where the truth really comes out !!

Jill is behind drugs and prostitution.Nobody would suspect her.she is,in fact, a witch sacrificing babies to prolong her life and youth-that's why she has that old black and white photo.

She corrupted Quinn's soul - that's why Quinn tried to cause some reaction from MC.that's her only way to plead for help.

That watermelon in Tybalt's room ? That was his GF and she turned her into the watermelon.

She is Chad's secret GF and not just his.She is sleeping with half of the campus because she needs semen for her spells.
She hates kittens and puppies - except if they're for BBQ.She is seducing MC only because she wants to steal his dad's toilet.

Finally some glimmer of common sense in your speech.

Thanks.

yep she knows everything about it, loves Jill.

Ok, so I just finished this game. This isn't really a review, but I just wanted to say I'm kinda new to AVN games so I don't have a lot to compare this game to, but I have to say I'm so surprised at what this game turned out to be. There's a lot of depth to the characters and story that I wasn't really expecting. I was hooked after playing a couple of chapters and now I can't wait for more. Just insanely well done. I would absolutely watch the shit out of this if it were a tv series or something. That's all.

Also, as a woman I was kinda expecting this game to just appeal to guys but I would say its also really satisfying to play even for us girls.

Who were your favorite characters?

 

[couchwaffle]

Who were your favorite characters?

Quinn, Sage, Tommy and Maya in no real order but also Riona and Jill started to grow on me in later chapters. Zoey's cool too, I feel like when she gets more content she'll flesh out more and be really good. It's actually hard for me to pick because I really liked most of the characters and it feels like some of them are getting more attention and agency in the later chapters.

1. Zoey is back. For me, it was a breath of fresh air in the game and kept my interest up. So far this is truly one of the few cliffhangers that changes the game for before and after. Most of them are FUCK FUCK FUCK moments.
2. Destroyed mansion. This revealed MC's leadership qualities and brought him closer to the DIKs.
3. Riona's kidnapping seems like a really dangerous turn of events and I would like to have a real feeling in the game that we are "on the edge" and not another moment like at the end of Ep.8 that doesn't lead to consequences.

M/J Ep.3 reveal wasn't that surprised at the time, it was shortly after Acting Lessons ended, less than a year later and DPC just going down the path of another Throuple. Chad/Troy was a bigger surprise, I had no idea they were gay.

Thanks.

yep she knows everything about it, loves Jill.

That's awesome she's sharing your passions.

 

[Better Cock Spock]

Wait it does that?

I noticed the instruction to keep it clean, but I thought your quote would just be left out.

I always put: "I'm more than just a big ... rooster, you know." Because at that point everyone knows MC has a big cock.

Guess in spite of having rooster instead of twitter the game doesn't recognise that rooster = cock.

Or I've got a dirtier mind than DPC does.

HA! Don't make me laugh. "Rooster" probably gets a pass because it's already in the game as an innocuous term, your yearbook quote could be like "Don't check my Rooster profile" or something like that. Besides, there's way worse that's not allowed, see below.

on the same topic as "names we can't choose because Sage wouldn't believe us" we got "quotes we can't write on the yearbook because of profanity".

now if only there was was a way to bypass this:

I'm not going to directly copy and paste, with all the shit on this list I might set off an automated report. But it is... extensive.

I get that the logic is B&R wouldn't allow the majority of these words, but some are quite tame. Also there's a lot of repeats but some unique words.

 

[Better Cock Spock]

Gosh, when she lifts up your chin like that to look at her...

And is that her blinking her eyes on the last animation? Why am I only seeing this now

Too busy staring at her titties I imagine, shame on you!

But I can't blame you

Had myself a DIK Jacket made
View attachment 4042749

From where?

 

[VaderExMachina]

From where?

most who i know have one got theirs from here:

You must be registered to see the links

(the design is already premade, just change to your size and change the materials as you preffer, i'd go for cotton fleece)

but i had mine made at a local tailor, since that website's prices and shipping costs are prohibitively expensive for me.

It may not count as a cliffhanger or really a twist, but it was definitely the first moment in the game where I was truly surprised:

Vinny pulling out a gun on Fuckface.

Before that, we had only seen a gun one time and it was in a flashback sequence when Rox gets mad for the rat comment made by that MacGuffin character (whose name I didn't care to remember) to little Quinn. At that moment it was just a device to show how dangerous Rox really was and the fucked up nature of Quinn's childhood.

When Vinny uses it, again it is being used to show how dangerous he is. But then the shock of the moment wasn't really what he did, so much as who he did it to(reading through before posting and I realized with one sentence I made Fuckface sound like John Wick ). Prior to that scene, I expected him to be carrying but I didn't expect him to show it to the MC so soon in the story nor to pull it out when he did. If anything I expected it to be used on Tommy to get him to let Vinny snoop in the DIK mansion. The fact that no one else even gets a hint of the gun before Fuckface surprised the fuck out of me.

It didn't do much yet to the plot but it definitely served as a reminder that though the vibe is brighter than AL the stakes are very much the same.

It was super effective how DPC introduced it. That cunt pulling a gun during Brawler? Very cowardly and dishonorable! But he's only delayed the inevitable beating he deserves, and after kidnapping Rio he'll be lucky to be alive once we get our hands on him

 

[MiltonPowers]

See the thing is that if this were anyone else, I could believe that person actually knew about Morgan, and was blindsided by Burke because Sage doesn't use that part of her name. Which is what I'm sure DPC was going for.

But this is MC, the most oblivious moron on campus. He never asks for last names, and the only thing he's more allergic to is condoms.

I was thinking more about names and thought it we were allowed to choose anything. It would be funny if we could name MC Morgan Burke, and then when Sage got married we would have Morgan Burke and Sage Morgan Burke Burke. My mind goes to weird places when I'm trying to fall asleep.

What in particular did you like about Tommy? I get the others, but to me Tommy just came across as kind of an ass, so I'm curious about your perspective.
