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

One question what did you like about Zoey. For me her character is not yet flesh out compare to the other main LI

Zoey's character is more than fleshed out in her Interlude. I'd say if anything, she gets more coverage than the main LIs who only show up in the main game and don't get their own episodes.

Broken Promise try this one it's not the same as BaDIK but it has good story telling

Im not the poster but i think Zoey is awesome because:

- She saw the MC's "potential" already when he looked and behaved like a weird emo loner and had no friends

- She literally educated him on how to become a normal guy and helped him to connect with people (her friends)

- She gave him loooooots of confidence, nobody comes even close to shaping the MC as much as Zoey but Neil. Third would be sage but theres a huuuuuuuuuuge gap.

- she feels very real in a sense of having her own wishes/dreams/desires and being conflicted/immature at a young age but develops a lot between what we saw from her in the flashbacks and how we see her now. I think its more realistic than all girls always dropping everything for a mc of an avn

- shes hot and pretty

- she came back, apologized and is happy with what she can get (in terms of mc's attention) and aware that she fucked up


That like the in world reasons why i like the character. But i think Zoey furthermore is awesome to display the MC's growth and development even when the MC will just stay friends with her.

I loved the part in EP10 when they talked at the campfire. The difference in tremolo's behavior when he sat there silently and grumpy like a little bitch at the trainstation or only ever gave her "fake"-replies to her messages ..

... compare that to know when he told her (with a lot of confidence) that he thought back than that she would be the one for him and them sharing their lifes together. The MC from today wouldnt have just let her leave without saying anything about his thoughts, desires or wishes.

He would have expressed his feelings and desires. And all of this imo was awesome to show how far the MC has come over the story.

we see it. we see Josy showing up at her first lesson and asking Jill for information.

however, the friendship between the two girls has a motivation outside the story, that of, just as in the case of the Halloween party, having a reason to involve Jill in activities in which she would otherwise remain excluded

too bad that the only interesting moment, the scene in the bathroom after Tybalt's speech, of the relationship between the two girls, besides not being canon, is now forgotten.

in addition to having little in common, Jill and Josy get to know each other even under the worst of circumstances, Josy discovers that while MC is avoiding her he is arranging a date with Jill of all people, and Jill has to accept that a big part of MC's motivation on her first date is just not thinking about Josy and Maya. absolutely not the best premises, especially between girls.

Let's ask a question to all of you. How many of you have attended to a party/event outside of your comfort zone just because you want to blend, to make friends and/or to experience something new? Because I did

In the past i was very socially awkward and i had to force myself to make things outside of my comfort zone and Jill going to the Halloween party is a thing my young self would do, trying to blend and having a good time, so I'm team 100% Jill here

So, even though the mc was just playing the field at that time, those two girls particularly were getting some seriously strong feelings for him, so yeah, not the best of time for them to become friends.

Still, all in all, I think it was handled fairly well. The mc skirts around committing to any of these girls for a while as their circle around him gets closer and closer and they all begin to form friendships. We have all the LIs except Sage at the recital (and I think that's when the mc realises he's been fucking around a bit too much). It kinda works, and it's more interesting than when they all existed in separate bubbles.

 

[NebulousShooter]

Do you think the dream sequence is going to be a nothingburger and the ominous music played is just DJ PinkCake being tone deaf?

I am not convinced, certainly it is a great facilitation for DPC which otherwise would have already broken through the 2-year limit per episode.

for the rest I don't know, in the end it's just for Jill and to get her to participate in student activities to which it was enough to make her less “weird” so that she didn't need an excuse for being there.

the fact that they are all involved in solving Maya's problem, besides making them all look dumber, generated that terrible “all for Maya, Maya for all” scene.

I accept it, it serves, but I don't see it as having any particular merit.

there are 6 chapters so we are expecting several random twists and turns with little meaning. so that scene cannot fall on deaf ears.

i don't have a problem with Jill's presence IN GENERAL. just that in the end all these ramifications lead to the same scenes, and that remains a flaw, not a huge one.

that Jill wants to go to her first party just on halloween is fine, that she wants to go even though she just dumped the host of that party, or was dumped by him, already is less fine.

But the problem of lack of empathy is fairly generalized in AVNs

Oh you misunderstand me, I mean it's a good setup for the next DnG game.

Or be me:

I actually had the playlist playing in the car a while back and my young daughter liked the music and looked it up... (yep, that happened...)

She was like, "Dad, that music you were listening to, it's totally from some x-rated game". And I was like, "Wow, what a surprise", and she was like, "Phew, I thought you might be playing it!".

I forget; I'd have to play the entire game to figure it out

I can't even accurately remember the lyrics.

I agree it's not the best decision go to the same party as Tremolo after the dumping, but her lack of social experience and age can explain her decision... The main problem is Bella, she is old enough to know it wasn't a good idea to go the party unless she was dating Tremolo (even then, it's questionable)

Actually, I think It makes more sense for her to enter for a few minutes for Jill, than to come the entire night and sleep in for the MC.

She gets recognized she can say she isn't busting them out, she is just drinking a beer with a friend and going on her way. Mummy Bella being caught is way more problematic, both personally and professionally, but we roll with it since its porn logic superseding realism.

Jill went for a couple reasons. One, is she had friends that were going; iirc Josie invited her even if MC didn't, Bianca and her other close friends were coming. Secondly, she was also there to help give Maya legal advice (the party was a way to introduce the two). Obviously, the party sours a bit for her if she's in a bitter note with the MC, and ESPECIALLY if she is resenting Bella a bit over dating him (Bella is Jill's best friend and was the one who actually gave her advice to get with him, which clearly failed cuz Bella hooked up with him instead)

It's just suspension of disbelief, don't think too much

I write this roughly once every two months: after Bella thought it was a good idea to stay over at MC's in the sixth chapter, nothing can pose a risk.

if anything, the issue is that on halloween she has no real reason to be there and Jill's request remains rather selfish (we're talking about Bella without a real halloween costume)

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Yea bella being at a diks party given what just happened to the red headed teacher earlier thanks to the diks is not the smartest thing in the world. That being said, it works for Bella who would seemingly do anything for Jill ( cept stay away from tremolo).
