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

[mike12013]

was thinking, a conversation with Sage could be fun where she curiously asks who you've slept with, shes like 1 person before college, and chad

Mc looks at her and goes
"Zoey, Josy, Maya, Quinn, Sarah, Bella, Camilla, Mona, Riona, Lily, Nicole.."'and so on

and Sage just looks progressively more concerned and MC goes "we were just fuckbuddies right?"

"Oh yeah, and your mom."

The conversation is going all over the place so I'm just going to explain my reasoning in detail.

DPC could have programmed the success/failure of getting the documents like this: Punch Patrick -> fail, Rescue Maya -> succeed, Confront Patrick -> success depends on behaviour. The meaning of the Patrick choice would be in the success.

However, it is possible to choose the Chick option and still fail and the DIK option and still succeed. The existence of these possibilities implies that how you deal with Patrick and whether you get the documents have more intricate consequences. And since these options exist for all paths the consequences should likewise affect all paths.

No doubt the meta objective is to create intricacy for the final ending's good/bad status so that players have motive to replay the game to see it all, but this should feel natural from the story perspective.

I assume that the endings will depend largely on how you score on the major choices across the game and thus the Patrick choice means something for all paths, but since the document success and failure are possibilities on all options they must have an effect beyond adding flavour to the Patrick choice.

I assume that DPC intends for it to be possible to split Josy and Maya up for solo paths and also for the throuple to last. I also assume that Josy is going to have some drama that is directly hers rather than second hand from Maya. Leaving these to s 4 would be rather late in the game so I assume they will happen either in ep 11 or 12.

Getting the documents is winning a battle. That battle does not decide the entire war, but it is the basis for Maya's (and also other's) mood in the near future. If Josy's drama happens soon, it would be natural for that mood to decide if Maya and Josy stay together or if it is just too much and they crumble. The player has agency on their staying together, but indirectly. It would be more complicated than how much of an asshole the MC is.

If it is planned for the solo paths to exist it wouldn't take much extra effort to add the break up for all paths and that would naturally increase the intricacy that will allow a more complicated set of endings.

To sum up: DPC went out of his way to make the results of the Patrick choice more complicated than they needed to be. He isn't guaranteed to make these twists just because I see the opportunity for it, but it seems to me that he deliberately created that opportunity. So why would he waste it?

And one last thing. What is Josy's drama going to be? Well Tommy has a drug problem and his girlfriend just broke up with him. He might simply OD. Or he could get hurt in the Rio rescue. I don't think he would die, but it would be a major crisis for the Taylor family. We'd finally meet Monica (and possibly get to fuck her) and it would also open up possibilities for Heather.

Actually it's implied that Sage and Chad never fucked.

Has there been any sort of update as to when the next season will be released? I need my Sage fix

Hey Ray_D does this one count?

 

[Roger-a-Dale]

Hey Ray_D does this one count?

Probably counts as multiple.

1. Doesn't know the difference between episode and season.

2. Doesn't know that season 4 comes after episode 12 and we are waiting for episode 11.

or

3. Doesn't know that season 3 already has two episodes and the interlude.

Ah i just presumed they fucked once or twice, it didn't go well so they stopped bothering

 

[FalconLover420]

I don't think they fucked at all, Sage does mention that she tried but chad says that he blamed it on the steriods that dawes is taking. Meaning he was struggling to get it up cause he likes men.

We may need a new counter

He can't even french kiss her so sex...
It's baffling she didn't figure out he was gay.

DPC makes it clear that there is no NTR with the main girls. Jill is a virgin, Bella hasn't seen her husband in three years, Chad was too gay to do Sage and Josy and Maya only did each other.

4. Doesn't give a crap about correct numeration, and REALLY can't be arsed with walking through a huge backlog of other people asking just to find a teeny-tiny bit of information that someone could very easily answer "Yes" or "No" to without it being a major issue....yeah, I think box number 4 for me, let me know if you can be of any help at all...to anyone....ever?

It's absolutely unreal when you're on the outside looking in, always gobsmacked at just how blind people can be....
But When you're on the inside, you often can't see the wood for he trees and we'll sage was pretty obsessed with him.

She kinda falls hard and fast does sage...

Yes. There has been "some sort of update" on that.

But what information do you think you'd get on a pirate forum? this isn't some official place for the game. We are not anymore in the know than any of the other random Internet dwellers out there. If you're not finding your answers on DPCs twitter, Patreon, his discord, the reddit or even a Google search. Chances are the answer you seek isn't there to be found yet..

its not really NTR lol if they have prior relationship. I can argue that you NTR Chad and Bella's Husband, Jill's Tybalt and Josy and Maya. That is a different rabbit hole.

I feel like sage does have some bodies prior to chad.

Oh we had the defination chat about these terms the other day!

Bella's a bit of a weird one as we currently do know the status of the husband... But, she wears a ring, and still acts like he's a big deal in the start. MC is also aware of husband.

Maya and Jost straight up tell you they have a partner and it still doesn't deter MC from perusing them

Sage effectively asks you to plough her because her boyfriends not.

Jill's not with Tybalt, no matter what the melon fucker thinks.

Effectively 3/5 girls are in a relationship and 1/5 still sees themselves in one. There would be those who argue against it, but the MC is playing a little Netori here.

Believe it or not if a person is in a relationship he/she will not see the red flags or 90% of the time he/she see's it but ignore it. In the case of Sage she is in love with Chad so she did not notice that Chad is gay and only using her for status. But in all fairness to Sage she believe in her gut feeling that Chad is cheating on her. But not with a woman but with a man

Wow someone is touchy for a guy who doesn't give a crap. I can be very helpful with people I like. With you I just don't give a crap.
