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

[Lagunavii]

Well this seems lik

Since we are still months away from the release how about we play a little game?

View attachment 4341236​

These are all my guesses, let's how much I get right in the update.

Well this seems like a fun game, let's go!


Sally's lewd: The way sally has been with the MC previously, no chance. Though the previews would suggest they are pushed together. The foundations are being laid for this to come soon I think
Mona's return: Absolutely no chance, I cant help but feel Mona was a tool used to push the story along. the tools been used and no longer needed. I could be wrong, who knows? But to me if it was to happen, that seems like a season 3 cliffhanger.
Meett Jill's Johnathan: Id say this is very likely to happen, esp with the MC already having visited her parents house. Jills story seems to be opening up at pace now. It feels right
Nora gets pregnant: I cant see any pregnacies my self till at least season 4. this would be so out of left field for me I will be shocked if it happens.
Zoey lewd: possible, Zoey seems to be playing a long game here. There may be some of date or similar. But I cant see it being anything other than a Handjob or BJ
Sage threesome: Given sages attitude last episode I think this is likely, as to the girl I couldn't say. Its going to be one of the HOTs though
Jill meets Neil: I don't think what we know about the episode lines up to enable this to happen, on some paths it does seem to indicate MC goes home, but on the Jill path it seems they go to the retreat? I think given that Jills family and MC family have ties of some sort. that meeting needs to be delayed for a little bit.
DIK's fight among themselves: Well this is a gimmee isn't it. do they ever not?
Madame Rose lewd: Well, he has to keep those Patrons happy some how
Jade leak fallout: I have a funny feeling this is what the phonecall Sage is having in the previews is about.
Josy & Maya breakup: Cant see this happening yet. I don't think its rocky enough, the foundations have been laid no doubt, but I'd say that comes episode 12
Blindfold game (Panty Party): Perfect opportunity for them cheat points, no reason why it cant happen.
Maya's contract issue: difficult this. we have to remember this is a canon event and therefore vital to the story, we either got the contact or didn't so the story needs to continue based on that. Its either not important at all, Mooting the point of not getting it or it is importantant meaning not getting it is a problem
Josy's hobby: Absolutely
Heather lewd: the foundations there, but I feel she needs to break up with Tommy first..
No Nicole lewd: If I get another madame Rose lewd and no Nicole Lewd, shit will hit the fan.thats just not fair
Lily date: Cant see it myself, doesn't seem to match the dynamics of there relationship. Who knows though.
Jill makes a move on Bella: This one will depend on the path I think, Jills path absolutely not, Bellas Path, maybe
Rio gets freed quickly: I don't think so, I think the Rio stuff wont get resolved until epsidoe 12, Id be glad to be wrong though
Josy & Maya meet Neil: I can see any of the main LI bar Bella and Jill meeting neil this time
Elena lewd: Not yet, that idea has only just been planted. there might be some teasing though
No Bianca lewd: Yup, Bianca wouldn't do that to Jill, not yet anyway. she needs to get closer to MC
Vixen lewd: I don't see why not.
No Quinn lewd: If the RIo issue isn't resolved and Quin turns to MC for support... cant see a lewd situation not happening. Heck even if it is resolved can see her going to MC for support and a lewd happening. we seem to be getting one per update so I cant see one not happening now

Yeah, Kuhn was pissed over it. During the 1990's it became common in marketing.

Fluff corpo speak? No, intellectual discussion!

Someone mentioned that Mona was originally planned to be a major side girl until plans changed so if that's the case, he might decide to reintroduce her, at some point. The game has set it up as a mystery with nobody being able to contact her, that makes it seem like it's not over.

Who said that?

 

[Crusader of Romance]

Who said that?

I wish I remembered. I'll try to find it.

I have never heard that.

 

[Chalk boss]

Quinn has shown that she has brains. Same as the other example people have given, Lily, who is also involved in the drugs scene. You don't have an argument for Quinn not knowing a simple word that she clearly does know. It's not an "obvious mistake" by DPC at all, it's just a choice he made that you don't agree with.

No. Quinn is a short-sighted, stupid idiot. The game tries to show her as a manipulative and calculating girl, but the fact is she's just a stupid, arrogant sadist. She's on the same level as Maya.
The game is full of examples of Quinn's failures. For example, for some reason she decided to sell drugs to Tybalt during a party at the preps mansion. Is that what a smart forward-thinking person does? She decided to expand the business for some reason, to which Riona correctly said she was an idiot.
The once cautious Quinn didn't see the tail behind her because she was already imagining fucking MC after getting punched in the face?
Quinn's entire history is one of failure and a series of mistakes. She clearly has a very high opinion of herself that she allows herself to humiliate others, but she is very stupid.

Rio gets freed quickly: I don't think so

They wouldn't be having parties then

The people in Breaking Bad are adults. If you follow Jesse's lines, you'll notice he never uses complicated words. He talks like a drug addict, he has a lot of slang and swear words. Walter White, on the other hand, speaks in long sentences and has complex speech structures because he is more educated and intelligent than Jesse.
It's kind of weird that you're justifying an obvious mistake by DPС. The dialog in the game is poorly written. First of all, they are all frontal, there is no subtext in them. Secondly, the language in the game is very poor and functional, there are no interesting references to pop culture. Third, all the characters speak the same way. Josy's vocabulary is not fundamentally different from Maya's.
The script and especially the dialog is tricky. Aaron Sorkin used to lock himself in his house all day and write his famous action dialogs. Oscar Wilde could wake up in the morning put a comma in and delete that comma during the day.
He could throw away several pages of drafts because of the wrong word or phrase.

I understand some of your points. Except "paradigm shift" that's a really common phrase overused in marketing, meeting rooms and advertisment for 20 years. And even in case it was not the best choice, that's just one phrase, come on.

Regarding better writing, yes DPC lacks in some area, for example his eroticism is almost zero. But maybe you are pretending too much. He doesn't have time to properly pose all renderings, do you think he has to refine dialogues based on each character personality? He is not a professional writer.
If you analyse BaD that way, differently from any other AVN, you have a wrong approach, you'll find holes, illogicality and errors everywhere. You have to be more flexible in your approach.

They wouldn't be having parties then

They might always think that Riona is home for the vacations. The only one who knows that she has been kidnapped is Quinn, who is the last one who wants it known.

I believe that Riona will reappear right away, but the party is not the reason.

You don't have to be stupid to make stupid choices...

You've rightly given up on the silly idea that Quinn can't use the term "paradigm shift", because there's no argument to support you, so I'll just leave it at that.

They wouldn't be having parties then

Rio is quite a solitary and antisocial person, they probably don't miss her because they didn't even notice her disappearance. Or they noticed and party hard because she is usually a cute depressed party pooper, I don't know.

Poor lovely Rio. I really like her.
Dear Rio, I promise this to you: you will have the best funeral ever! Best. Funeral. Ever.
I will never skip the "Funeral Planning Mini-Game". In your honour my dear!

Sorry guys I got too emotional, I'm too sensitive.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

I have never heard that.

I also never heard it before but it wouldn't surprise me since her problems came kinda out of nowhere. I always assumed it was because DPC wanted to pair up Riona with someone else to evolve her role beyond Quinn. I can't find the quote, so it doesn't matter. Who knows if it's true.

 

[Silkymilk]

Bring back Mona.
Christmas update?

What did I miss? The cat monster turned into a scapegoat, is that confirmed? But you're right, funeral party - hell yeah!

This is my thoughts, we have the general knowledge of being the player and understanding that Riona has been taken. The actual characters of the game. Not so much, there's no reason why they wouldn't think shes gone home for the holidays, or similar. Questions might be asked if and when she suddenly stops her rooster posts or is no longer contactable - but in game we still have to establish her as missing and until then there is no real reason why life shouldn't go on.

Riona's phone is in the snow , so it could also be used...

You know what here is the meaning of the word. Which is the title of episode 11. This description came from wiki

A paradigm shift is a fundamental change in the basic concepts and experimental practices of a scientific discipline. It is a concept in the philosophy of science that was introduced and brought into the common lexicon by the American physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn. Even though Kuhn restricted the use of the term to the natural sciences, the concept of a paradigm shift has also been used in numerous non-scientific contexts to describe a profound change in a fundamental model or perception of events.

...the term had a completely different meaning when first coined.

In 1640 a group of thugs terrorized their way through lower Manhattan by trying to extort people and businesses for protection money. The leader was a tyrant named Shemp "Shifty" McGee. One day he and his crew went out to get some snacks, but Shemp didn't have any money. When he turned to his associate Scoot and asked for some money, Scoot said, "Gee I aint's got but a pair a dimes Shift." Shemp was so embarrassed he and his gang fled the town never to be seen again.

Ever since then Paradigm Shift meant a bumba-klutz who couldn't afford a bag of Cheetos.

And the rest is history.
