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

[FalconLover420]

Just play the others route without cheating on the girls and its easy money 4head
Also be nice to her, tell jacob no and let her win the costume party

 

[Lagunavii]

So I just finished playing Ep11 with my main LI being Sage and I was hoping to be able to make a switch to Zoey but the fucking game didn't let me.

Now, if my choices by being a manwhore (cause I am, MASSIVE DIK route) would in any way make Zoey not want me, that would be fair game. But she wanted me, and my (again MASSIVE DIK) MC is now too much of a pussy to let me (the player) choose whatever the fuck I want do to?

This makes absolutely 0 sense. I'm not playing "my" story through MC anymore, making my own decisions, I'm playing his gay as balls story at this point and I'm just in for the ride.

What are the parameters necessary for me to be able to choose whatever the fuck I want to do?
Don't fuck X girl in episode Y? Don't hug and say whatever to W in first season? Don't say Z four episodes ago?

Again, if my choices made the NPCs react in a way that I was locked out of some choices because of their opinions on me would be fair game, and also good game design, but this is just utter bullshit.

I'm so done with this game.

Its nothing to do with being a manwhore and everything to do with how you have interacted with zoey in the past

Main one is don't tell Zoey you're mad at her in Episode 9
Another Main one is Dont give Jacob the green flag to go after her.
Theres a few other opportunities here and there too.

but you need to get I think 8 points out of a possible 12 to have a go with Zoey. if you didn't get the option, you messed up somewhere

Universal Ren'Py Modfier - you'll can find variables, and change them and its like past scenes didn't happen very helpful when regretting certain actions with a teacher

only renpy game have mod?

What the hell? I have 9 different saves and playthroughs and not once was I not able to pick Zoey if I had the choice. It always goes the same way: MC picks Zoey, they sleep in the same bed, he tells her he has to think, she leaves, then he messages her that he came to a decision and its a good one and the episode ends.

Yeah, dude. What the hell indeed... No idea what happened, she said she loved me and no option presented itself, the story just went on as MC said he didn't want to be with her anymore.

Like I said, if she never said that she loved me at the end of EP11 that would make sense. But she did, and it didn't present me a choice for being with her. That makes zero sense...

The funny thing is that it was your decisions in episodes 9 and 10 that led to you automatically rejecting Zoey

Yea I was trying to choose options that would make Zoey stay the fuck away, and I got option to be with her every time. I guess choices are confusing for everyone.

Some would argue, going with Zoey means you messed up somewhere.

If you tell Zoey you're mad at her and tell Derek he's the better friend, nothing else you do will matter. Zoey will be locked out.

Getting with zoey in any path other than Others Path is messed up xD

I understand that it is what the dev intended. I just disagree of it being good game design.
Like I said, I'm not playing a game where I get to make the choices anymore and that is stupid in my book.
Also, I'm pretty sure I never treated her like shit and most definetly told Jacob to fuck off regarding being with her, but alas, that is a moot point the way I see the game should play out.

 

[jimbro]

If you tell Zoey you're mad at her and tell Derek he's the better friend, nothing else you do will matter. Zoey will be locked out.

Yea, but to me being mad is having feelings. I always chose not mad as in "I have no feelings go away". And I chose her as a friend cause "she is just a friend"... And I told Jacob he can have her.... I thought I was clear .... DPC thinks differently

 

[doovel]

If you tell Zoey you're mad at her and tell Derek he's the better friend, nothing else you do will matter. Zoey will be locked out.

Odd, you'd expect apathy to be worse than anger...

For my sanity, can you *actually* refuse to hang out with her if you do? As I kept going with Derek being the better friend and not being mad at her. But then you're forced to hang out, even if you say you don't want to.

Can someone help how to play latest release without issues ?
1. What all i need to download ? (is anything in order or not)
2.I have previous saves which is detected automatically from Renpy/BeingDIK game folder form my system, do i need to create 'saves' folder insides the game ? What should i add it here ?

Why is this file BeingADIK-0.11.1-pc-lin - 18 GB ....
Why is this file BeingADIK-0.11.1-pc-lin-patch - 6 GB ?
What is this file BeingADIK-0.11.1-patch-from-0.11.0 ?

I am lost as what to extract and what to override and avoid breaking the game. Appreciate your help in understanding what each of these does.

Is there any other instructions as what a new person should do to start episode 11 from saves of different paths ? I have already seen the tagged saves folder tagged, that isn't helping me

 

[Axeleen]

Besides unlocking a couple of renders? Nothing. But DPC does save if you completed the puzzle so maybe something else will happen down the line.

Thanks for the info

I get that. There is a few choices along the way where what I think should be the correct choice to achieve my goal turns out to be the other one.

There is a few times you have to hang out with her, but most you can avoid. Turn her down the first time you can, and after that you often automatically say, no not feeling it and turn her down (except for the forced ones).

Not in Maya and Josy path. Josy hit the new low for me and managed to take worse LI title away from Maya. I did not think that was possible. So switching to Zoey on MJ path seems appropriate. I don't have guts to try it on other paths. Maya and Josy at least have each other so it does not seem too cruel.

You hope... They've been walking on eggshells since the beginning of the series about talking about their own feelings, especially Josy.
I still can't see an ending where they won't break up, mostly because of Josy who can't get over MC and because of the communication issues between her and Maya.

I mean JM have always been a low prio route for me, but its way better to just be friends or skip entirely by going the other routes than just cheating on them with Zoe

Like my current prio are
- Sage
- Jill (Still wondering will I get additional scene if cheat with bella)
- Bella (Still wondering will I get additional scene if cheat with Jill)
- Lily
- Nicole
- Cinderella and Sally
- Finally Maya and Josy
