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

[strangelandQQ]

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.

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

 

[jimbro]

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

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

I completely misinterpreted what choices were to be on Zoey good site (as apparently lots of other people). So the only save where I wanted Zoey she got autorejected. But it ended up being perfect, cause it is others path so it is hard rejection.
Also I wanna see some drama when you reject a LI, so MJ path it is...

 

[rand42]

Man, I used to love Maya in the early seasons. She was actually my main LI for a bit, although I never really cared for Josy. Now she's just kinda... meh

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, my canon is the monogamous route with Sage. 12/10 journey, the GOAT route.
