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

[Jumbi]

Well, we have a lot of people who also hate Quinn.

It's not just an F95zone thing. Her character is controversial and polarizing, just as DPC wanted her to be. Either you love her or odds are that you're gonna hate her.

>Nobody, absolutely nobody dicussing Quinn
> John Ness:

John Ness is the ultimate Quinn simp. He poops on her, just so he can see others rally in her defense so he can bathe himself in Quinn praises

Remember, it's like being in kindergarten? When you tease someone to show you like her.

Yeah. You're right, buddies. It is clear that he secretly loves her. So cute.

This topic was the trigger for my "obsession" with Quinn. Before, she was just another annoying character in the game and when I come here, I find out that almost everyone here adore her and at the same time hate Jill and Maya. It just doesn't make sense to me, how can you prefer a narcissistic drug dealing pimp over anyone, let alone Jill and Maya? Joking about it has become a habit, I will try to minimize the banter over Quinn, or hope so

I like Quinn, but you can shit on her to your heart's content. It's funny

What he says. I don't simply like Quinn. I am one of her simps. But I am not bothered by you or anyone else who dislikes her. I said this once and I meant it: as long as you keep your aim at her character and avoid misdirecting your roasting, I'm fine.

Well, she was created to be hated. People weren't supposed to like her. She was supposed to be the game's antagonist. Sometimes Devs have to change their plans. Just like Sage was supposed to be much more of a bitch than she ended up being (also, remember how she made fun of the MC if he said he was there to study and said only the nerds study?). Sage was the DIK affinity girl during the first episodes, now that's Quinn while Sage had become a Neutral girl.

I am completely stuck on Episode 9. I'm on the Sage path, I have completed the haunted mansion section (nice scene btw), and I've done all the tasks in the phone, but it's not progressing. I've been to every room in the DIK mansion and there is seemingly nothing else I can do. The only things I can interact with are the camera in Tremolo's room where it says "I should ask if people want their picture taken" and the two people in Derek's room where it says that there is room for two and that it smells. The camera thing makes me assume that I should talk to people about pictures, but I've done them all and I've even brought it up on Rooster. Is my save bugged or am I an idiot missing something?

Have you tried turning off your computer and turning it back on?

 

[Frozen1]

and also it's gonna be easier and easier as we unlock more perks. Because of that I decided to go with the 2 Money perks in the beginning,
I'm especially proud of this one, although in the end I went with the Haunted Basement tour, so I only saved 1 bucks

Looks good. what perk did you pick?

I always pick beers don't need cups to save the space because 7 out of 8 of them want beer. But you made it work.

Though it obviously would not change anything, I literally have lol. I got to the point where Jill invites Bella and then Bella sits with Josy, Maya, and Sage. On my way to the sofa I got Leon's dialogue about not being able to get laid and though I assume that I'm supposed to see Bella, Sage, Maya, and Josy on the sofas I just don't.. Is there some task that doesn't show up in the phone but you have to do?

the first that I take was the “Crowdfunding”, and at the end, when we get to pick the second I pick “Below Budget” I probably gonna pick the "no beer cup need", for the next party, But I'm tempted more toward The “Easy to Please” and “Hard to Let Down” perks

 

[Sababukin]

Got busy with other games and haven't played the "new" update yet.

So my first thought about 15 min in are....WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS STUPID PARTY PLANNING GAME???? This is....ridiculous. The other dorm game at least had a chart for it, this doesn't?

I read through the forum to find a guide, but I see people posting their image of what they did, but I can't seem to replicate them exactly. Money or other items are still off and not what the image shows. Does anyone have an EXACT explanation of what they did?

It was also NOT enjoyable to have to pick between Jill or Bella, I want both. I absolutely hate multiple paths in renpy games. I want to play a game once and see everything. There are too many other games to play and instead play one multiple times.

While the character development and story writing can be great in this game, sometimes actually very emotional, I feel stuff like the Party Planning mini-games ruin it all. Ya, people say "skip it", but then you don't unlock certain things of you skip it.

I don't like it either, maybe this will help you.

Yeah, but... The dynamics of the relationship between Bella and the MC are quite different compared to other girls or the MC and his sweetheart acting like a couple of teenagers in love. Bella and the MC's dynamic is acting like they've been married for years, why do you think the game presents many opportunities to help Bella with household chores? That scene where the MC paints Bella's fence is the most 'husbando' scene in Bella's route, even Bella gets wet when she sees the MC "taking care of the house".

Can anyone imagine Bella having breakfast with the MC at the table with other DIKs? I definitely can't. First she would give Elena a death glare for sitting next to the MC wearing only her panties, then she would be in shock to see Heather slapping Tommy while Tommy yells at Heather. I already find it hard to imagine Bella dressed in the MC's jacket, imagining her having breakfast at the DIK mansion is simply impossible.

This is not the first time I say this and I'm sorry if I'm being repetitive, but you give the characters in this game too little credit mate, I find it hard to believe Bella would give a shit about Elena unless she was flirting with MC, and even then, the one whom would probably get fucked would be MC in a scenario he engages with Elena.

I think she's probably past the age of giving a fuck about such things, if MC fucks around she'll tear him a new one and then send him the same way he came just like we saw with the whole Cathy deal.

Don't worry, I've noticed that you're an average Bella enjoyer...you have a free pass to repeat that I'm giving little credit to game characters as many times as you like. Maybe you're right and I'm underestimating Bella's reaction.

It's really weird. Are you sure you didn't use mods? Some of them can break the game.
The second free-roam should end when you interact with Sage on the second floor (Bella, Josy and Maya are also sitting there). The phone should have the "Talk to Sage" quest.

The trick is to realize that going for the ultimate multiplier isn't always the best way to skin this cat.

Well, she was created to be hated. People weren't supposed to like her. She was supposed to be the game's antagonist. Sometimes Devs have to change their plans. Just like Sage was supposed to be much more of a bitch than she ended up being (also, remember how she made fun of the MC if he said he was there to study and said only the nerds study?). Sage was the DIK affinity girl during the first episodes, now that's Quinn while Sage had become a Neutral girl.

It's funny to see most hating Quinn. It was opposite for me.
I love Quinn. But I have hybristophilia and always tend to be attracted to the anti-hero/antagonist in games & movies. So I'm very very biased.

Quinn isn't very physically attractive, but something about her character is extremely attractive personality and story wise, especially when her tough girl facade shows cracks and you see glimpses of the real Quinn.

It'll be interesting to see where the dev takes her and MC. She's about the only main girl I like in this game (Rin is... just okay, I guess)

It sure would be nice if there was a tough girl character like Quinn that wasn't a literal drug-dealing whore.

I'm not sure I agree. From the first, her demeanour was kind of playful, pranking the MC. She was, I think, meant to be a complex character, FAR from perfect, with conflicting drives. Some players would inevitably focus on her negative attributes, others on the positive, as I said, with the hope they could save her from herself.

Time will tell. Whatever side of the fence you're on, you have to admit the character is interesting, at least.

Sure would be nice if people making asinine comments like that was banned.

Jill says there can be only one MASSIVE CHICK.

I disagree, I find her VERY physically attractive. I love the body type (much better in my mind than the hyperbolic physiques of Sage or Bella), and I love the shape of her face, eyes and mouth. Add to that the punk hairdo and I think she's very attractive.

But, these are subjective things. YMMV.
