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

[Bloodguard]

As I understand it, in order to advance in the game you need to be as big a dick as possible. As an example, in the first episode at the party you required to talk to all the guests. But if you are a nerd some of the guests refuse to talk to you and you can't leave the party. There is no game further. Overall, I regretted downloading this game.

There is no party in the first episode of this game, nor can you play as a nerd. You in the right thread bro?

A lot of things could go wrong at any moment for our dear MC.

Bella Route: Their relationship is discovered and Bella is fired and/or arrested (spitballing on that one). Also that weird door that has everyone shook and Bella just kinda like "whelp that one's out." Also also James coming back.

Jill Route: If you chose not to cheat, the reveal of the MC's heritage could lead to them being related in some capacity but not close enough for it to matter but it matters to Jill (unlikely given DPC's reaction to this before) OR maybe Tybalt responds to what Jill did with force and gets her expelled or something. Gonna be honest hers is the hardest to crack.

Sage Route: Sage graduates and they drift apart. Or maybe any of his exploits are revealed with Jade or him cheating with everyone else. Or if you're a nice boy who never cheated, maybe Sage just realizes that she needs to take her future serious and doesn't see the MC in it anymore.

Josy/Maya Routes: This is is already one step away from falling apart anyway. The MC could realize he doesn't want anything to do with this mess and backs out, or maybe Maya takes agency of her life and wants to solo the MC. Or perhaps Josy does the same thing and wants the same thing.

Any Other Route: MC's connection to the HOTs alone could lead to something bad. Vinny's already confronted the MC once and knows his connection to Tommy (at minimum). Throw in a Quinn or Lily route and suddenly the drug dealers have a weakness (the MC) to exploit.

first time hearing this. I was doing DIK, Chick and neutral runs but never have problem... who refuse to talk?

 

[BigTTiger]

Not entirely out of nowhere. She’s been having doubts about her existence since the very beginning of the game. Unsure about college, where to go, what to do. Her family is a mess, (like everyone is in this game since that’s the main theme) and the basic bitch thing is a fairly on the nose criticism one could throw at ms sunshine. The character is very insecure, about her physical appearance and overall physique which you learn on her arc is rooted in her mom’s comments about her height or lack of it from someone who’s heavy into the fashion industry.

Also she’s the LI which is by far the most affected by player character choosing another route than hers. The character is fragile, so it was about time for her to reach a breaking point imo.

True Josy is self-conscious about her height you can see that in ep9 when she's standing next to Sage, she stands on her tippy toes trying to be as tall as Sage.

DPC already said it won't be like Acting Lessons and the game is more akin to Road Trip and American Pie.

If he really goes the route of American Pie, then Derek will probably end up in bed with either Jade of Dawe's mom in the end ("Stifler's Mom")

No you will progress if you just walk around

It is heavily inspired by American Pie. But then again the opening is still there even if he removed the "are you in a happy place prompt". At least I think he did

damn, then it's possible that Tybalt will get one of the hotest girl in the end.

 

[Chillout1984]

Lol. Wouldn't that be something though: We're hoping to end up in a threesome with Cathy and Jade, but in the end that honor goes to Derek, just so DPC can troll with us

Who would be the one Tybalt ends up with though? Going by my "ranking" that would be Riona, since she and Sage are on the top of my "hottest girls" list and Sage is a no-go thanks to Patreon. However there is no way in hell that I want Tybalt to end up with Riona xD

Please tell me when Josy's been having "doubts about her existence since the very beginning of the game."

I believe I had an argument with someone who thought the same. Here's a reference to that.

Yeah I can see that i fundamentally have a different interpretation of the events than what you’ve concluded with your summations and =. I think it’s painfully obvious if you read between the lines and see the progression that she’s extremely insecure, struggling. The lack of screen time for some of these elements being more plainly laid out is imo more of a consequence of the game being massive, with too many paths which means relatively small branch exclusive scenes.

No you don't need to be a big dick, you can play as a neutral or a chick as well, so you have a choice on what decisions you make. And there was only one person at the first party that refused to talk to the mc and that was Heather saying she doesn't talk to maggots. And at no time are you a 'nerd' and when the mc spoke to Magnar about the 'nerds' he was basically told he wasn't smart enough. The mc ends up joining the DIKs because of his friendship with Derek.

Listen to yourself.

"If you read between the lines" -- or I could just, you know, listen to the actual narrative instead of warping it around your head canon.

"see the progression that she's extremely insecure, struggling" -- Show me where.

"The lack of screen time" -- so you admit there's little screen time showcasing her actual problems, if any?

no way we give him Riona cmon. somebody like Tiffany maybe?

 

[Bazsa4]

As far as we know this is only the second DIK party Cindy went to, and MC doesn't know that xD

Or does he?




Oh, wait... No, he doesn't... He's dumb-dumb

 

[Joint311]

Tiffany is too good for him... i say becky is the best option

 

[Chillout1984]

It should be someone hot but dumb.... To be honest there are only two girls that we know who fit the description of being dumb: Arieth and Becky. The hotness about both are debatable however. Still, I wouldn't mind if he ended up with Becky. Becky seems like a perfect fit to me for Tybalt.

 

[felianMDR]

Becky not good enough. This is a point that clown win in the end. with Becky you not winning shit

Any Other Route: MC's connection to the HOTs alone could lead to something bad. Vinny's already confronted the MC once and knows his connection to Tommy (at minimum). Throw in a Quinn or Lily route and suddenly the drug dealers have a weakness (the MC) to exploit.

On the whole Bella/MC relationship being outed to the other B&R staff their only thing is they're worried about a lawsuit so all MC/Bella would have to do is sign a waiver stating in the event of a possible break-up then there would be no legal recourse on his or her behalf that way B&R's ass would be covered and MC/Bella could stop hiding their relationship but then there's the whole James aspect which is a whole different can of worms altogether.

Becky and Tybalt would make a great pair. They deserve each other with their awful personalities lol!

 

[lobotomist]

So I just finished playing the latest update, and it reminded me how a while back I had mentioned that josy had no real character arc and was more of a side character in maya's story.
And after this update is obvious that Dr.P is trying to fix that. But there seems like all those people that kept saying from the begining that ultimately you would have to choose one or the other, were right.
So my theory is that since the game originally was supposed to be much shorter Dr.P didn't plan much josy and suddenly he realized that he had to do something with her, that's why he is giving her this pointless filler arc that doesn't really fix anything.
