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

[El_Magnifico]

Dont pay to much attention on his post... Nothing was burned down, Quinn just called the cops. And she did it with Rios phone.

You got it backwards. Quinn already had Riona's phone since she found it on the ground :



Then in the scene where she visits Riona, she just gave her phone back by putting it on Riona's table before leaving :



At the very end of the episode, Riona is holding her phone with the MC text :



Quinn called the cops with her own phone then destroyed the card.

 

[CheetoInChief]

No, if you do both then MC will auto-reject Zoey for sure. If you do only one of these, then you can still rack up enough points to get a choice. Best move is avoid either of these options, if you want to switch route.

Yeah, I was talking about not even getting the option to accept/reject Zoey. I wasn't sure if it was enough to just say you are still mad. It looks like you have to do both to get the auto reject. Which is what I was asking about.

 

[lnvalidName]

OK.
If people are gonna complain about DPC "changing" Brawler in Season 3...
Then they should really play EP1 before it was changed starting with EP2.
The Brawler in EP1 was... Interesting.
The only way I can describe it is predictive Tetris.

After, get back to me and explain why you think changes are bad.

 

[Takkatakka]

Okay, I never thought the Jill path would become a bimbofication path. When can we tell her to dye her hair blonde?

 

[Joshua Sanders]

Imo DPC had it planned out exactly like that, its kinda his writing style to create fake problems/drama which is quickly resolved in the end, it dont consider it too bad, its a slice of life avn afterall.

The fighting competition was 100% planned from the very beginning , mc being trained by his dad laid the groundwork very soon. NEVER EVER did dpc look at college k**** or similar avns like that to get that "idea" lol

Im not the biggest fan of these fake drama scenes either but its 100% intended

You are so naive bro. But ok. you are here saying "DPC Never Never". you know him more than anyone else. you are there at his side to know what he does or does not. to know everything. The fighting part doesn't seem to me he had the fighting competition planned. Not everyone who learns how to fight or defend themselves, participates in fight competition.
Based on his previous game that I also played, I can see a certain pattern from when he started BAD and how it changed from what he usually does after it got famous. Specially storywise.

it is noticeable that he didn't plan out like that specially because in a few occasions on patreon he talk about things that he decided to add into the game after learning them. When you decide to add stuff in the mid of something you are creating, means you are changing the plans. He has to change a few things here and there in order for the new added features to work into the game.

You can argument and tell me with 100% of certainty that he is making the game the way you think he is doing with everything planned, even though whoever is playing this game since the start has been able to notice a lot of changes. You drag something for too long and then end it with a very poor solution isn't good writing and compared to his previous game, AL, it seems too poor. and bad thought out.

People always search for new ideas somewhere. Lets not forget that once Philly, (another VN creator) who said to be DPC's friend, said that they do exchanges. So never say that DPC never take ideas from other creators if you are not his life partner.

Just to add some context. It was when people were criticizing Philly (City of Broken Dreams) on steam saying that his game had similar stuff to DPC games, then he explained that they were friends, I don't know if they worked together or studied together previously, it was something between those lines. Then he said that they do exchanges about their games, etc. and learn a lot with each other.

Last time I am replying to this thought since it doesn't add anything to the threads discussion.

Sage's Path: Fire and Tears.​

A year ago I started reviewing branches with negative vent, but now I want to focus on the best things that were in the update.
As I thought, Sage's arc would be somewhat dark due to her parents' divorce, and it turned out to be true. Sage feels depressed and compensates for it by drinking wine at Bella's and having a blast, but still, her emotions come out and she opens up to MC, who successfully comforts her. For her, losing her family again, being abandoned again, is her greatest fear, coming true again. And for Bella, when they all get together, Sage sees their new group of friends as a new family. Very powerful and symbolic moment.

Next up is meeting with Neil - Sage is one of two LIs who can add to this scene. And this didn't go as I thought, but we all want quiet comfort sometimes. Sage got along well with Neil, which I liked, he noticed how easy-going she is, but Neil, you don't know much...
But then Fuckface himself is to blame. What the hell, you're a FUCKING RETARD telling your girlfriend that... you're going to hang out with your ex tomorrow. You just don't do it, bro. How can you simultaneously comfort people with words and make them feel better, but still be backward in relationships? Blah-blah-blah, she's not just my ex, she's my best friend, my only friend, blah-blah-blah...doesn't matter. Don't do this to your GF. Specially to Sage with her fiery attitude and alpha-type leadership personality.
Sage has every right to be annoyed. Because Sage doesn't know Zoey and has every reason to not trust her - and as we can see, she was right (but more on that later). Also, Sage's previous relationship ended because of cheating, so that's a double red flag, and then the fear of being abandoned and rejected is another red flag. I'm sure these two wouldn't get along, Sage would easily figure out what's on Zoey mind (the looks Zoey gives MC are enough). Forget about Sage/Zoey, because:

She is both cute and scary when she is jealous.

My favorite part of Sage's arc was when she came to him with whiskey to pour out her heart about her family problems and how she found out that her "role model" Stephen didn't care about her all these years. Sage is exaggerating a bit when she calls MC "her rock", I think he still has a long way to go to mature for that. But he is a good shoulder support. Then Sage goes freaky with whiskey, party music, cards and you expect fun... but you get the most touching and emotional moment when Sage opens up about her birth mother... and she has never told anyone about this, ever. Sage went from best girl to wife material. Fuckface don't deserve her. Thanks DPC, you have issues, but that was amazing.

For Sage, Episode 11 is the best as a "relationship development". Better than Episode 10, where they were just learning to communicate and work together. They fought a little, but found common ground (I chose the de-escalation options in the Zoey conflict), they supported each other and MC was a good guy standing by her during the breakup of her family. Choosing to go with Sage to Burke is good personal growth for our guy and the right direction to go if you really want to be "my rock" as she said.
And no matter how hot the threesome with Camila was, my canon is a solo scene with Sage. Because of this:

Yes new stuff can get added, but usually that isn't the case with major plot points. Most writers (which I expect DPC belongs to) have in their mind the beginning and the end of a story before they start writing it. This also includes major twists and plot points.

Looking at how both music and fighting has been integrated since episode 1, I'm also pretty certain that DPC has thought of the tournament as such a major plot point. If you think about it, this would be the perfect way to let the houses come together at the Betas:

1. We already have the HOTs on our team
2. The faculty event is perfect to build an alliance with the preps
3. The fighting tournament is perfect to build an alliance with the jocks

I'm pretty sure it's mostly the little things (like extra love interests, what happens during minor scenes, etc.) where new ideas are implemented.

Last episode I said the most disappointing path was Bella. This episode, the best were definitely Sage, Jill and Bella. The worst had to go to Maya and Josy. All three of them were acting like a bunch of pussies.

Is there a way to clear the gallery and rewards like this is the first time ever playing the game

Okay, I never thought the Jill path would become a bimbofication path. When can we tell her to dye her hair blonde?

Now that I would like to see...

Delete the persistent, that should do it, I think.
Both from the %appdata% backup and from the game folder.

Jill and Sage got the best development in this episode for me. The problem with Bella's route is again like in Ep.10 - too short for unique events, this is most likely left for the season finale. As for Maya/Josy, I agree, weak update, short and boring, except for the lewd scene. But more on that later.

She is the one insisting while allegedly hating the MC, back on the spy theory
Or could be she knows she can't do her part on her own.
Or she is a spy

I'm not sure about the spy, but my moneys on her being the cheater. I'd hazard a guess the notes Magnar paid for were for her ad since the split they're not needed hence why it stops.

How can you simultaneously comfort people with words and make them feel better, but still be backward in relationships?

To be fair, it's not like visiting Zoey without telling Sage, i.e. effectively behind her back, would be any better in the long run i.e. after she'd eventually found out. Especially given her experience with cheating boyfriend(s) like you point out.

And the alternative of "well then just cut off completely contact with your oldest and best friend because your current girlfriend is insecure about it", that's, well. Very far from good solution either, and if it comes to it you might as well consider if this is the girl you want to spend your life with.
