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

[Cndyrvr4lf]

The problem I see with the game design is that his story starts at A and has to go all the way to Z. However to get there he needs certain things to happen. So even though we come to crossroad B and C. He needs us to go to C in order to reach D, following? So lets say we choose C, right? All good no changes needed. However if we choose B, as we start to go down that road his "force" takes place and something blocks the road so we have to backtrack and take C anyway or it bypasses C but ends up at D anyway. The scenery may fluctuate a little but no matter what, in order for his story to work, we have to go along his route. That is not "poor game design" it is plain and simple a linear story that has the illusion of choice and content put in or blocked depending on our little choices but no matter what it's just window dressing. Unfortunately that is what is breaking this game. The fact that however we "design" our character and his personality we are forced to do things that run contradictory to who the MC is as a person based upon our choices and that is why I say this is bad writing.

Yes i have v 04.02. Where is the file to download?

It was in the OP, but it seems that it's only the Mac update file that's there now. Guess you'll just have to get full game version if you're looking for the Windows version.

So I have to download the game again? How can I keep my backups?

Is there a way to start playing from somewhere in the middle of the game? I am using a new laptop and couldnt get ahold of my old save

Monica is Josy's step-mom (married to Pete) and Tommy's actual mom.

Yeah, I know that. That's not my point. The point is why mention her name so much if she's not going to appear in the game or be relevant? She could have just said "step-mom", no reason to add another for us to remember if it's not relevant.

Yes. She'll just be some random ho. Not worth knowing.

Hey, speak for yourself

Wait a big honking minute! Something is missing on that day:

I think that was just a peck on the cheek, though.

I know everyone hates my scientific, logical mind

No, we don't.

I could see a CHICK MC helping someone for drug trouble, but a CHICK MC having a good enough relationship with Quinn to do so... Could happen, but I don't see how right now.

 

[Conklingc]

come on no ... it seems a bit extreme

so Maya didn't even choose her sexuality? also in that did she accept others decision?

because of that choice, her relationship with her father was ruined (without simultaneously saving his relationship with Josy). I hope she was at least convinced of it

I would agree with Holy Bacchus on this. I knew a girl who was convinced she was gay by her partner she met in college but she constantly was aroused by men to the point she was afraid to drink around them because she became very hetero when intoxicated (all the time I knew her she never gave up claiming she was only a lesbian and not bi). Maya's background is a little different but her circumstance could be very similar.

I have a Neutral MC who has a fairly good relationship with Quinn; took her number for the menu, fucked her during the cumpetition, and smoked weed with her and fucked her on the roof of the mansion. Also did some small things like make fun of Dawe on Rooster that she liked and texted her after the prep party. One more major CHICK decision and my MC will have a CHICK affinity, so it's certainly possible to be CHICK and have a decent relationship with her right now.

Some people might have saves up, but half way through the game there are a lot of choices already made. Might be better to run back through from the beginning (I usually do that anyhow when a new episode comes out in case I forgot things along the way).

 

[Malicre]

Like someone else said earlier, i think it just boils down to Maya being submissive, that's why she latched on to the mc and then why she went back to Josy at first glance. If you know anything about D/S relationships theres usually a pecking order if the main D isnt around and i think thats what likely happened in this case.

I could see helping anyone dragged into it but the helping the individual(s) who knowingly and willingly put themselves in that position? Especially when it includes prostitution and screwing over people you care about? You're a better human being than me Brotha because I would sacrifice that individual in a heartbeat to save the ones that really matter. I wouldn't piss on her if she were on fire type thing

You're right... The whole Quinn fandom is a prime example of dudes thinking with their dicks first.
With that said, I'd still help her without so much of a second thought, if it ever came to that. Because I don't think she's as irredeemable as she wants to appear.
I'm ashamed of myself... Kinda.

I had a thing for her as well in Ep1. However the farther we get the more I feel she should die. Sorry I'm much more an old testament than a new testament type person. Anyone that is willing to potentially harm another just to fullfil their own selfish needs has sacrificed their right to breathe.

If she shows she isn't irredeamable maybe I will have to rethink but if she continues on the current path than nope. Like I said earlier I wouldn't piss on her if she were on fire.

This game man, all I can say is it seems either you love it to pieces or you don't play it, there is no in-between. I've tried on 5 separate occasions to play this game, and I just can't get into it. I don't say this to bash the game, I say it out of frustration because I feel there's something I'm missing out on that obviously has struck a chord with a lot of people. Maybe it's the pace, maybe it's the amount of effort required, but I just can't find a way for it to click with me.

What a long post to not prove anything and miss the point entirely...

Is it possible to be in bad terms with Quinn? Yes. So forcing every MC to help her would feel forced. For some MCs it would make sense, but not for all of them.

 

[malistos]

Super excited to try it out.

 

[Malicre]

I tried to keep a neutral position when i played but i just kept leaning more toward the dik side (sorry but i just cant help myself and if i see someone being an asshole ill punch him, if that makes me a dik so be it) only ever leaning towards the chick side when it was necessary for Bella.

 

[ImperialD]

i'm doing a run thru on the chick path ... god help me

Might never click for you, there are several highly rated games on the site I didn't like when I tried them. Even now there are only six or seven I actually enjoy.

Deluca Family is my favorite but being a DIK is def in my top 5.

Do the Patreon preview images get posted anywhere on this site by chance? Thank you.
