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

[J.A.L.]

You've been posting too much, the thread is going to break!

I´m new, still playing the game, and bored at work .

 

[Rizki29]

is update 0.8.2 work with the compressed version?

 

[TajaRrR]

I will say that over and over and over again. Maya is a decent human being, quinn is a fucking psycho and the people who prefer her are fubared.

Hey now... We are all just fackface operators here don't be angry.
And I still don't understand it, for me Quinn character development is much more rewarding even if there is much less story for her right now.
If you pick Maya you get baggage of problems with (for me) basic girl.
Quinn doesn't want mc right now and if it will be available later on to get her, it will be more satisfying to seal the deal with Mrs. Broccoli.

 

[ALSFF]

MC and Jill are really a pair of fate.

 

[Klopdwerg]

Quinn as been marked to be the tragic LI without being a LI since killing LI is what got DPC in deep shit with this comunity to begin with!
So now he creates a LI in all but status so if the story demands it he can have her suffer by being killed raped jailed or something!
The same applies to Rhyona! in my AL gametrough i hated Leah for killing Meghan because that Hurt Melissa so we can expect reflex pain on whatever the story brings!

You make a good point here but do you really think DPC would go that far (again)
If he thinks he had a hard time after the shitstorm he got from AL with forcing us to choose between Megan and Melissa, he's up for a treat if he's "going AL" on Quinn or Riona.

 

[znar25]

I like this game so much. I understand nothing can be perfect.

If I could only state one disappointment is that it is a Jill-centric plot path. I like all the characters and their place in the story. Certainly all the paths and LIs etc.

It would be better if:

1. You were not forced to date Jill unless you wanted that path.
2. You were not forced to visit Jill with your guitar and ask her for a date unless you want that path.
3. And, a few other things.


If you play the main LI paths (and Quinn) one at a time, no other LIs / sides you get.

1. Sage path: end up with Sage no problems.
2. M&J Path end up with M&J no problems.
3. Jill path end up with Jill, no problems.
4. Quinn, end up with Quinn (kinda, although it will probably be a long haul with drama) at least Jill can't fuck that up. (or can she?).
5. Bella path, end up with Bella, and Jill fucks up everything (as this will have a huge effect on Bella's emotions as it is her friend). This ........ Sux. And, makes the game a lot less fun.

I like Jill on the Jill path. I don't like her being a pain in the ass when I am on the Bella path. Tony Soprano would probably go to Jill's room, throw everything around, threaten her and say, "Now you know what? You are going to go see Bella and tell her everything is peachy or your friends will start finding themselves accident prone. You wouldn't want to see Bianca fall down some stairs by accident would you? WOULD YOU?!"

I agree.
I found it extremely annoying having to go to the prep mansion to ask her on a date and then to choose between liking her or wanting to annoy tybalt. what if I don't want any of those things?
on any other LI playthrough, I'd just be avoiding her after she put me on the spot in front of the school council if I had the option. I certainly wouldn't break into the mansion to play the guitar for her.
and as for tybalt... what do I get out of antagonizing him? he's a douche, sure, but what do you gain from messing with his private life just for shits and giggles? even fuckface, an oblivious idiot as he is, must be aware that tybalt's family is:
a) rich
b) most likely powerful
and considering you already had a falling out with one fraternity president, one would think you'd be better off laying low for some time. but no, fuck this shit, let me go fuck with magnar next :|

Why would it be different?

 

[DavDR]

Yes, Quinn was on the banner during the status update of episode 8.

I would like to add that the forecasts are always86 accurate! He predicted the exact release time of episode 8!
I would also add that apparently, since the episode simultaneously performs a technical function, namely, it should check the operability of the saves of the 2nd season, several scenes of the MС with the selected LI will probably appear in the interlude. For example, MC could talk on the phone with Josie, and then Rusty comes to him and says that he has guests. He is surprised and sees Zoey in the room.

Apparently, a "fresh" look at the game involves focusing on the plot and characters. The developer himself is tired of coding complex scenes of free roam and a large number of variables and wants a simpler and linear story. Perhaps the whole episode 3 will be more linear (one way or another, we have already made a choice, and the affinity system is no longer so important).Of course there will be сhoices, but they won't be as confusing as in seasons 1 and 2.

Apparently, he has already finished with the script and animations, and has started static renders. I'm afraid of getting burned, because when I read the update, my mood dropped, but on reflection, I decided it wasn't so bad.

1) A positive option. Interlude release in late January - early February - Episode 9 release in July - Episode 10 release by mid - late December.

2) A pessimistic option. Interlude release - in early - mid-February - Episode 9 release - in late July - early August - Episode 10 release in January.
In fact, the difference between a positive and a pessimistic option is 2-3 weeks and it's not that much. Yes, the chance to get one (technically one and a half) updates is quite large, and the only chance to fit 3 episodes in one year is small-sized episodes 9 and 10.

I predict that everyone will predict a February Interlude, but it won't come until March or April. Likewise everyone will predict a summer release for Ep9, backed up with lot's of data but that won't release until November 2022. I further predict that the final episode Ep24 (after the 17th Interlude) won't be released until spring of 2034.

 

[nyrek]

I'm expecting a halloween release for ep9.
in case it comes earlier, it probably won't have the halloween party (yet again).
if the party is gonna be in ep10, I expect that one out in late november (overly optimistic )

 

[PashafromRussia]

40-60 minutes of active gameplay is very little, if you think about it. This is about 2/3 of the first episode in terms of content if you remove free roams. In episode 8, free roam could take half an hour or more.

In addition, many people forget that he combined the last 2 weeks of work on the episode with testing the game for GOG and Steam. And at the same time managed to write a script and make animations. Now that the versions of the game for GOG and Steam are ready, he will be able to devote more time to development.

 

[Jimayo]

In real life I'd agree, but this isn't real life, it's a game. It's like suggesting people that play GTA are psychos. It's just a game, with no consequences in real life.

Heaps of villains in stories are preferred to the protagonist(s):

• Dark Darth Vader (probably the number 1 example) - hehe, oops, thank you OFT, but yes Dark Helmet is another great villain.
• Hannibal Lector (did anyone care when he walked off into the sunset while Clarise was shitting herself)
• Dracula (too cool for school while Harker had a stick [or was that a stake] up his ass)
• Barbosa (mainly because Geoffrey Rush hammed him up so much)
• The Joker (personally not a big Heath fan myself, but I can't deny the love so many have for this character)
• Freddy Kruger (he makes killing kids seem so wholesome)
• Jason Voorhees (and this motherfucker had no personality at all)
• Pretty much every killer of teenagers in the slasher-style movies (maybe it's what they do, not who they are...)
• Keyser Söze (well, not anymore though, 'cause, you know...)
• Hans Landa (he was fucking awesome)
• and so on.

Sometimes the villain is so enjoyable you want them to succeed in their dastardly plans. In this case, we don't necessarily want Quinn to succeed in her plans, we just don't want her to die, and want to fuck her regularly.

There is a difference between liking a well crafted villain and still recognizing they are a villain and need to go down, and wanting them to have a happy ending after ruining so many lives. Quinn destroyed Mona and people still root for her. Most fans of the joker aren't rooting for him to win. He's a great villain. My daughter is 5, she's a huge fan of heath ledger's joker, but she understands that while he's a funny psychopathic murderer, he's still a psychopathic murderer and he needs to lose. Something a ton of people on this site don't seem to get about quinn. Liking a villain for being a good villain(while still understanding they are a villain) is very different from what people do with quinn. She needs to lose. She belongs in jail.

 

[Warscared]

And I can see Maya in 2035 playing every "victim cart" (like Quinn would say) with Tremolo because whatever he gives to her or does for her, never is enough, and ending up hiring an hyaena of divorce attorney to use every legal or paralegal trick to get the house, the car and even the guitar, most of Tremolo´s salary for child support, full child custody, and leaving Tremolo without family and in utter misery, looking for a three to hang himself

dude... is his child named Tommy? cause that sent shivers down my spine!

why do you think Tommy is so angry at the world? i suspect thats what happened to his father and to boot she traded his father for Pete...

• Pretty much every killer of teenagers in the slasher-style movies (maybe it's what they do, not who they are...)

you nailled it! Teenagers do not see the killers killing them they see the killers killing the Jock´s and the cheerleaders and everyone that makes their life miserable in school!

its like .... "certain political persuasions" that want to see the all world burn not realising they will burn with the world, they prefer to see the failure of others instead of trying to achieve their own!

You make a good point here but do you really think DPC would go that far (again)
If he thinks he had a hard time after the shitstorm he got from AL with forcing us to choose between Megan and Melissa, he's up for a treat if he's "going AL" on Quinn or Riona.

herm... i suspect he will not pull a house fire but i can see him make us to make a choice beteween saving Quinn or Rhyona... perhaps he will even break the 4th wall use Vinnie to set up a fucked up situation just to fuck with the players, and then Quinn will break character start laughing and saying they where just messing with you pulling a prank when Rhyona slips and falls off the school roof...

imagine teenagers Dyeing doing stupid shit that was just for fun...

I like Jill on the Jill path. I don't like her being a pain in the ass when I am on the Bella path. Tony Soprano would probably go to Jill's room, throw everything around, threaten her and say, "Now you know what? You are going to go see Bella and tell her everything is peachy or your friends will start finding themselves accident prone. You wouldn't want to see Bianca fall down some stairs by accident would you? WOULD YOU?!"

and then Tony will find that the Royce money comes with 5 ex-seal operatives as a security detail ... plus 2 former police detectives that are truly interested on his waste management business... plus a great accounting firm and the best lawyers in the country and the phone number of 2 federal judges ... i guess you do not want to fuck with the Royces Tony do you? DO YOU?

 

[Olsens.M]

All my posts here either getting deleted or edited by moderators. Just delete everything instead of editing it. I can't make comparision with other games to explain things I want when it comes to fans of BAD complaining about what DPC did in AL. DPC is a great writer, so just don't expect everything to go amazingly well in being a dik, he will probably put some twists to make you sad. And Jill warns every player about it when they first interact with the game. So, since I can't use examples, that is all I am gonna say. I wanna drop this subject, but I will only do if you stop deleting and editing my messages, I am not saying anything bad about the game or the Dev.

 

[znar25]

I don't think Jill, if not pursued, will be a problem for Bella.

Why would it be different?

On Bella-only path, Jill still has some feelings for MC no matter what. MC and Bella never tell Jill and well.... Bella at least will have some feelings as Jill is her close friend....

 

[J.A.L.]

I'll start with your words. "In real life, it's more probable..." that Quinn will end up in prison at best. In my country for pimping and drug dealing.

I see Quinn in 2030 sitting in front of a judge denying her parole application.

In the case that Maya really acts the way you fantasized, my MC will take advantage of Maya naivety one day. How? She likes to sign contracts after all, so a prenup is drawn up. Problem solved. Then when she looks for a divorce lawyer in 2035, he'll be on the MC's payroll. The Mc is a decent guy, he won't starve Maya and any kids he might have.

He then visits Quinn in jail and then buys Quinn her notebook with all the names of her prostitution ring. He calls all the girls listed and invites them to one of his three islands. And if he didn't die, he still fucks everyone he turned down during his B&R time.

OK, in real life, Quinn probably would end up in prison. But that´s not the subject we are talking about. We are talking about what kind of person would bring more problems to her partner.

Both Quinn and Maya are the kind of person that will probably never be happy. I can imagine Sage being happy with Tremolo. I can imagine her going to the pharmacy wearing mini-skirt and fuck-me pumps to buy Viagra for Tremolo when they are in their 70s. I can imagine Josy being happy with Tremolo and their 4 children and 3 dogs in their suburban house. I can imagine Jill being happy with Tremolo in her mansion with horses, singing birds and pink unicorns. I can imagine Bella being happy with Tremolo, at least for some years, until age starts making a real dent in her while Tremolo is still young, and I can see her convincing him to leave and find a woman of his age to have children and a family. But I can´t imagine a happy ending, 10 or 15 years from now, with Quinn or Maya.

But, the day Quinn will get bored of a normal life with Tremolo, is not going to make Tremolo miserable. She will just go and move on with her life, leaving Tremolo free to do the same. Maya however, as good feminist, will always blame others for her problems, and therefore, will expect that others fix them for her. Her father, the HOTs, the society, Tremolo... It doesn´t matter. It´s imposible to make happy a person like that.

But don´t fool yourself thinking that Maya is naïve. She knows by instinct how to play her "victim cards" (I love that expression of Quinn) and manipulate others to help her. She has made Josy unhappy in a relationship that brings her more problems that happiness, even when Josy clearly finds someone more suitable for her and that could make her happier. She demanded from Tremolo total sincerity but was not sincere with him, used Tremolo for entering in the HOTs without caring about his feelings, and continues dragging him into her problems even if he´s dating other girls. Now she has dragged Sage into her problems too, and Sage will feel guilty when she´s no able to help her... She knows exactly what she´s doing. She will look at Tremolo with her puppy dog eyes, will cry a little, and will manipulate him to do whatever she wants he does for her. Its impossible that a relationship with a person like that, selfish and convinced that she´s not responsible of fixing her own problems, finishes in something different of a bad divorce.

View attachment 1547644

Ok, but this is a minor problem. The reaction is less drammatic compared to the one with Jill pursued by MC, so the consequences shall be less drammatic.

Bella has some major problems to face, without Jill, so there is no reason to fear a big drama for that

 

[Kamuisaki]

For the over-reaction of Tremolo at the end of Episode 8, what all Tremolo knows that could make it rigth or ok to have an over-reaction?
-He is in a bad relationship with Tybalt, but it shouldn't really matter.
-Jade at least tried to seduce you, and even if she failed, she didn't like it and at the same time Tremolo know that the relationship is not good beetween Jade and Stephen.
-He know about the prostitution ring, that Mona was in it thanks to Camilla ( not sure that all version of Tremolo know), and that she was in the same piece as Stephen.
-He did make the point beetween the prostitution ring and the free tuition in Episode 2.
-He should know that he hasn't seen Mona since Episode 7.

Tremolo should be able to make a guess beetween everythings he know and it could be interesting that he use it to finish the problem of Maya (even if it will surely not happen because for all the problems that it will have for him). A choice that could be interesting is that you don't reveal what Tremolo could have guessed and use it to blackmail Stephen to help Maya or for the Jade video.

It will be interesting for sure. On the Bella only path. Even Bella told naive Jill to date MC. For naive Jill, that is all she can think about...hey she has Bella's gold seal of approval. She is safe. She probably was unable to see a situation where Bella and MC could be together making the beast with two backs when again, Bella told her to date him....Jill felt confident that was the way to go...etc.
For naive Jill it is a huge shock as.... Bella is her "best friend" and she has feelings enough for MC to even put up with Taibalts BS in an effort to help MC.

I guess it is possible to repair that kind of damage of Jill and Bella's friendship but I don't know how. (I don't have all the answers...so...I don't know how). MC and Bella being together with a damaged Bella/Jill friendship will be interesting. Again, Jill is very naive and everyone has to stop what they are doing to wipe her nose and dry her tears. It is going to really suck.

I still think the Jill as an active shooter on campus scenario is a possibility.

 

[JETracktor]

must be the new model multi functions it works as a phone and as a dildo/vibrator i mean it already vibrates you just have to give it the proper shape!

But dude, you need a really long pockets to carry this monstrosity.
