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

[ffive]

cheating points are another matter, however, and not being able to declare oneself, at least for now, does not seem like such a punishment.

No, cheating points are not another matter. They're explicit record of MC being unfaithful.

Being able to tell Sage you love her is currently the only way to set her love variable. I'd say this is likely to have serious impact on whether this path survives to the end of the game or falls apart. And if being able to complete the route isn't sufficient reward in your eyes... why get on one to begin with?

among other things, they are the ones that also give you the opportunity to explore other avenues that would otherwise be precluded, like Zoey or Bianca, an extra freedom that is more of a reward than a punishment.

That is pretty selective way to look at it. Being able to see content that you're otherwise precluded from is suddenly a reward, yet at the same time being able to access content which is gated by being faithful, isn't? This doesn't make much sense.

 

[Riaman]

A lot of people saying that but imo its just one path with minor differences (wanting occasional threesomes/public sex or not) but otherwise nothing changes

you can go the kinky way and still get the ILY, its just one threesome less

Oh so just unlockable scene difference. Good to know. But solo scenes are lot hotter imho.

 

[Joint311]

As long as you keep her occupied she will be fine.

by your profile pic i can assume you're on the Sage route do you plan on cheating on Sage with Joja?

 

[TonyMurray]

theres sumthing thats been bugging me while playing

how did Tybalt A. Burk get to be President of the Preps?(seeing how they turn down Rusty) shouldn't Jill at least be President? as she is a Royce? because its not Royce and Burke its Royce and Burgmister so how did Tybalt claw his way to be President? and tbh his parents act a lot more nicer than he does they are not stuck up ( i wonder what Tybalt would say if Jade told him he has a new Daddy or Brother(as in the rp she calls MC Son and MC calls her mommy) xD

It's a fraternity, is it not? Jill lives in the preps' mansion as a special case, but she's not part of the fraternity itself because she is female.

I think he meant to keep her occupied with Maya.

Back in the day I was hoping for a Sage/Josy 3some. The whole kissing scene in ep9 between them gave me hope. But now nope I won't cheat on Sage. She is my fav girl. Always was. Even with Cinderella and Bianca around. I will probably just bang them on another route. My Sage route is super pure no other girls in it at all.

The guide is up-to-date for Episode 11 – Paradigm Shift​

Casiope's guide is hands down the best guide for the game, and I know many of you rely on it. The amount of effort and dedication he put into creating such an incredible guide is truly unmatched.

I’ve done my best to maintain the high standard of his work, though I’ll admit, I’m not as talented as he is. Here’s what I’ve worked on:

• Choices, conditions, and consequences for Episode 11.
• Pack Quest #6.
• Special Renders/2D Arts and Vault codes for Episode 11.
• Updated sections for the minigames.
• Added Scenes and Gallery for Episode 11.

I had some issues converting his PDF into a modifiable document to update, so if you notice any sections of the guide with incorrect formatting, please direct message me, and I’ll fix them. Same goes with any other issues you notice.

Please show some love for Casiope by giving his original post a like and sharing your appreciation for the amazing guide he created. I hope my update doesn't detract from the quality of his work. Also special thanks to mpa71 for all his help and feedback!

Read it and download it from Mega​

Incredible work, similar in quality to DPC's guide and you don't ask a cent for it. Amazing.


Started reading and noticed this. Didn't know about -1 Rp Sage, but fair enough, MC talked out of his ass. It's her family that's falling apart, dislike for Tybalt is no reason to gloat.

To me, it seems much more cheating to have sex with Quinn behind Sage's back, or to get caught by Jill screwing Bella.

Not touching Sara and Melanie's ass or flirting with secondary characters seem like secondary temptations to me.

anyway in the end the big reward, not of loyalty in absolute but of CPs, would be a more romantic run with Sage (whether it's better than the other one will remain to be seen). it seems a little bit small in a game with 5 Lis

out of the 10 runs you have in how many have you been truly faithful?

Oh so just unlockable scene difference. Good to know. But solo scenes are lot hotter imho.

Yeah i kinda prefer solo scenes too and imo dpc's threesomes are often kinda ... i dunno how to describe it ... over the top?

The one i actually enjoyed the most was the casual one with Cammy and Mona in the bathroom lol. Cammy + Rio was fun too.

The throuple threesomes in ep9 and now in ep11 are awful imo, the sex feels kinda mechanic and working along a checklist to me. Waterpark was kinda shit too, i really would prefer a casual threesome with all of them hanging out in mcs room and having fun without super weird makeup and costumes ... but tremolo uninvited himself the only time he invited them both over ...

Josy's best lewds are the casual ones too imo, like the ep5 lewd or the gym lewd (despite being short)

 

[ZenoMod]

Just sell the young fish at every opportunity and buy the three 10$ upgrades (chemicals first). Don't leave any money in the budget when you head to the Bailey's. And always get the phone game and brawler money. And the free roam money.

The only game I couldn't buy all presents in was the one I bought the Madame stuff in.

Don't look at me like that! I felt the need to punish myself for the Sage run where I showed Jade's video to the DIKs. I will never feel clean again.

But don't sell all young fish, or the population will drop dramatically.

 

[Lichlord45]

Because he's referring to the game of twister not pong.

Oh yeah, completely forgot about that.

 

[Lichlord45]

No, I meant the dots game they play near the HOT swimming pool : Sage, Camila and mc. Heather dials.

Yeah, i completely forgot about that. Thanks.

Damn are Sage and Jill switching their Affinities?

Jill gets + Jill on mocking Tybalt in Yoga lessons.

literally destroys Tyballs nuts and made him Tybal.

Whereas Sage gets -Sage for going hard on Tybal. Or being Dik affinity which was original Sage affinity.

Crazy but nice development.

Not exactly. Sage is losing her family because her parents are getting a divorce. But they are also Tybalt's parents, and MC says "He deserves to feel like shit." This was not very polite to Sage.
And I can say according to real Sage, not wild party vesrion, her actual affinity is Neutral.

 

[LuciusJac]

How many of you guys got banned from patreon and discord? I got banned today for saying, "I hope alumni show up."

Edit: Also why did you get banned >.>

True, Sage is a Neutral girl imo, the only real DIK girls would be Sarah, Melanie and Lilly, but Lilly’s story still developing so that’s probably gonna change

When I first started playing the game, when the update for E5 dropped, Sage was my least favorite main girl. Now it completely changed for Sage being my favorite branch. Well, in so many years personal taste can change, but it is something different.
Even thought it is a "game"/VN or interactive novel, I enjoy the it more like a book.
All interactions between Sage and the MC feel so natural. My best example for this is the time-skip-sequence in E11. All main branches should feel kind of happy, right? They should all be in some kind of honeymoon-phase, but only in the Sage branch it get's really delivered. The other branches always feel more heavy and serious. Imaging even Chick-MC should bang with Josy and Maya till the wall are shaking. (Didn't play Jill branch)
Only the Bella branch, imo, sometimes had this happy kind of feeling to it. But it got ruined for drama, with these student-teacher-relations shit.
Man, sometimes you think american-style rules are retarded as shit, speaking as a european. These rules feel more like high school setting.
But back to Sage: really, fucking really enjoyable branch.

 

[DIKs34]

I spent the night thinking about it and Bella having a room full of whiteboards with all sort of evidence about the corruption at B&R make SO MUCH sense:

- All the reactions would work: MC&Maya are shocked to see pictures of people they know (or even them) on the boards. Bella have the face of someone thinking "Shit, I was about to talk to them about it soon (or tonight) and now it look VERY bad". And when MC narrated that he "should've seen the signs" and "would've called for help sooner", it fit if he realize her husband probably got killed and she's on a solo mission for vengeance.

- Those whiteboards were probably started by James, looking into Wallace Ressources-Burke and the scholarships
- James could've actually be trying to help Burke, if he is being blackmail by Wallace (he was working there before and Wallace probably has dirt on him... but Burke probably has some on the company too, so who knows)
- In the end, he got caught and probably killed. The body was never found, but Bella had a very big suspicion that he isn't alive anymore.
- Before knowing MC and starting to open up to that group of friends, Bella was the Ice Queen. She didn't want to be even remotely close to any of them to stay objective in her mission (expect Jill, that she already knew).
- She might've picked up the pace recently since Quinn is a bit sloppy with her restaurant, which give an opening for slip ups
- She help Sage with her dissertation, which is a great way to become close to the HOTs President + Stephen daughter.
- She feel bad for investigating her new friends without telling them, so it will be an emotional talk (especially Sage who would find out about Stephen)
- She know (in certain route) who cheated on the mid-terms but isn't doing anything about it? Is it because the culprit is part of her investigation and doesn't want to jeopardize anything?
- On top of that, you get a callback to the whiteboards (MC talk about the whiteboard at Patrick's house + he wrote Dr. Dick in the classroom).

There's also another possibility: James started looking into what happened to Lana (to help Bella help Jill) and got caught up with Buddy at some point. Since James disappeared 3 years ago, it's hard to tell if the B&R corruption was ongoing during that time or if it started when Burke saw an opening by working with Quinn (It was probably in effect with someone else in charge, I don't remember if it was establish in the first few episodes). This one is less likely.

Just imagine if Bella (or James) was the one who actually put the camera because she wanted someone to slip up and mention Burke (I'm kidding on that one, but we never know, since Magnar probably got the videos by hacking the transmition feed or something like that)

Jill route was really great this episode. Some people are playing with Fire cough cough Bianca, but Solo Jill route was worth it. She became more bold, outgoing.

And Lily too had crazy character development.
