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

[adast]

I don't know about you guys, but I really want continuation of the brawling route
Do you think we will get to fight Caleb again? Or better yet - ambush that mf Vinny!

Most likely. Quinn asks the MC to join her on one of her escapades.

 

[Lord Bradley]

Nights lonely spent under cold sheets
Imagination warming up the dreams
Cravings rising for different kind of sweets
Opening Pandora's box it seems
Lovely face with cheeks flushed like beets
Envy's joyful smile in my mind gleams

wrote a poem for Nicole, miss her lots!

Don't doubt it.

Coming to a gunfight with bare fists doesn't seem like a good idea

MC has plot armour... And a dick that is big enough to use as a lightsaber. I mean, seriously, how does he not fall unconscious every time he is aroused?

You will certainly be satisfied, DPC has announced that it has improved the minigame, so it will probably also be more central to the story

Prediction, we will not get a Zoey scene until ep 12.

Absent reputation meter with her is very suspicious.

No, it is not. It's exactly the same with every other side girl. The MC can only gain RPs with main girls, Derek and some factions as far as I can remember.

Prediction, we will not get a Zoey scene until ep 12.

Not a bad guess to be honest. The good news is Zoey and the MC don't really need a warm up period, but the problem is location. I thought that Zoey expressing the wish to join college in San Diego was the perfect setup for the MC to ask Jacob to help her with that one tool she has trouble with and insta join after midterms, but time wise it's getting a little iffy.

She basically has to join B&R in Episode 10 or at the start of the next semester, which should be like 3 months'ish. So if they don't "reconnect" in Episode 10 than 12 is probably a really good guess. But we know it's gonna happen, it's probably even more unavoidable than Arieth getting knocked up, Zoey seems to be DPC's cannon ending. Hope you didn't make any plan for 2025 yet

 

[Orgitas]

Think we might get texts, or a phone call or two from Zoey. But I doubt we'll see her, properly, again until, at least, ep 11.

 

[adast]

Yeah, but the way DPC was promoting her I thought that she will become one of the main girls. Trying to mess up your relationship with LI from ep8 and all that. Now I wouldn't be surprised if he planned something entirely different for her.

 

[Orgitas]

Be a bit weird if Zoey is a side girl come the end of the game. Given interlude.

 

[funkymonkeyjedi]

It might something to consider that, if you go through the entire game (once it's finished of course) on a solo route, that you'd be offered the choice to end up back with Zoey. Considering (as it's been mentioned) she doesn't have any romancing points allocated to her char, that this would be a possible way to get with her at the finish line. Would that be crazy, or a possibility?

Relationship points so far doesn't matter, I mean even if you have been a chick and had alot of Maya points but still she gonna reject you if turn dick before the library.

To my understanding, the following "progression" flags (i.e. path creation) with Zoey are the following:

• ep9_mad_at_zoey - When the mc first catches up with her, he can tell her he is mad, or just struggling with his feelings.
• ep9_jb_gf - The mc tells JB that Zoey is either his childhood friend or ex-girlfriend.
• ep9_derek_better_friend - The mc tells Derek who is the better friend, Zoey or Derek.
• ep9_winner - Zoey wins the costume party and takes the trophy home (hopefully she doesn't use the trophy, the mc's dick won't seem so big after that! )
• ep9_zoey_crash - The mc offers Zoey his couch to crash on for the night after the party, but she turns him down.

The "ep9_mad_at_zoey" and "ep9_derek_better_friend" flags are recorded in the end of episode report, so they should be significant, but the "ep9_zoey_crash" flag seems the most telling to me because you can only invite her to stay if the mc is "alone" (no LI entanglement) and not mad at her. She turns him down anyway, but the fact that he only offers if he's available, means he's offering because he wants her back in his life for serious reasons, not just as a friend (otherwise he'd extend the offer to her regardless of his relationship status).

What does all that mean? It means the wheels are already turning, regardless of her not getting around to sucking his cock in episode 9.

You mean if it's a possibility that DPC shelves her untill the very last Episode ? Storywise anything goes, but DPC wise ? I would say highly unlikely, he invested too much into her already and as I said before, the setup is already in place with Zoey trying to go to college in San Diego. Maybe DPC is just being pragmatic, since a full pro Zoey choice right now would mean one more mandatory scene per update.

I don't think that overly bothers DPC. Episode 9 was 5k static renders long.

Current variables don't mean a lot. If you look at the code every release has a header file which sets default values for variables that will be used on that episode and adds a lot of new ones. For instance, the Madame variables aren't defined until she becomes an active character in episode 7.

There is nothing preventing DPC from populating Zoey variables in the next release where she spends time with MC and his choices mean anything to their relationship. An example of that could be that at the end of the Halloween party no matter what options you pick when interacting with Zoey she always takes the train home, so there is nothing to carry over to future releases. Had there been an option for her to take MC up on the offer to stay in his room it would have led to some interesting outcomes: does she sleep on the couch since the dorm girls have the bed; does MC join the dorm girls and leave Zoey on the couch, or vice versa; if MC sleeps with one of the "other" track options off-site where does Zoey sleep, or does she come along as an observer/participant; if MC is on a romance track (not others) how does Zoey being in his room derail their staying over (though Sage would just drag her physically into the bed with them for sure), etc. Variables would need to be created to track that for future interactions with her and anyone she wound up sleeping with.
