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

[Lagunavii]

If we get spring break, it should still be part of the main game and not part of the epilogue. If 12 or 13 is the last, there are still couple of big student holidays/festivities left:

I mean don't get me wrong.... Ive never said we are not getting Spring break, but in terms of story... we have only just got to xmas and that took the best part of 11 episodes. Spring break is 2 to 3 months away... it will take a serious time jump to get us there. if we do it will have to be an epilogue thing I think

You don't have to play but all this speculation and grumbling is distracting me from the great title DPK has created for us. Just a little challenge, and I have many, but give me a single panel "best moment" from BaD. I went back and forth a bit here is one of my top favorites. Peace y'all.

(If you don't play I'm going to pay BCS a year supply of Popeye's spicy chicken sandwiches to kick you in the nuts!)

I mean we did get a huge jump from episode 9 Halloween to Thanksgiving 10 and then at the 11 at the eve of Christmas/New years

What do you mean by main plot?

if MC goes with the other students and his beloved somewhere for spring break there doesn't have to be any plot, just like there isn't all that much plot in the parties, a free roam, a little chat with some characters, some sex, random tasks

with no mystery to solve or solution to find, just a “final” (or finals) party with a different setting, before the happily ever after

Valentine's Day if there will be one will be a private date, like the one with Bella or Sage, so the problem doesn't even arise

I just mean there probably isn't that much story left considering in the speed it goes now, every major plotpoint will end around NYE or maybe in the week after. There isn't really enough story left to make it to Spring Break. That would make one think that it's going to be part of the epilogue, which should be on-rails with no further input by the player.

Sage is a hypocrite, she's moaning about the mc's relationship with Zoey, they were fuck buddies, just like mc and Sage were, there was no declaration of being bf / gf, it wasn't until way later that it hit the mc that Zoey was his girlfriend and it wasn't until the end of ep11 that Zoey realised that they were bf / gf, so technically they weren't bf /gf, just like until the end of ep8 the mc and Sage weren't bf / gf, they were fuck buddies.

Your statement about hypocrisy is meaningless because Sage has zero information about Zoey to begin with and what type of relationship she had with MC, in her perception Zoey is MC's ex-girlfriend. So it's a miss.

I agree and that would be a major missed opportunity, to have Spring Break in an on-rails epilogue instead of a large/massive freeroam.

I mean we did get a huge jump from episode 9 Halloween to Thanksgiving 10 and then at the 11 at the eve of Christmas/New years

Not really huge jumps - Halloween to Thanksgiving is three weeks and we did that in an episode with some filler. Thanksgiving to Xmas is 4 weeks and again we did that in an episode with some filler and exposition that's two episode to go 7 weeks.

while yes it is possible we might tie up the 11 cliffhangers with a hand wave (which Ive said before is sort of what DPC does) a time jump is not out of the realms of possibility. but its still 2 - 3 months away and well into the second semester. its a lot of missing stuff, I just cant see it.

time skips are the answers. what day will it be at the end of chapter 12? it may have been months since christmas

I think it is likely that the game will cover at least the first year of college, except for a few scenes from the “distant future” at the very end.
So we will only see the most important moments
valentine's day might even be just a flashback in the middle of another scene.

we need something to build volume before the actual epilogue. this will also serve to give space for new relationships, and then there will be the positive and negative epilogues

I agree wholeheartedly. The next logical party (and obviously there will be one) will be New Year's, and by then Bella's locked room should be resolved, Buddy is possibly resolved and the Betas will still be a work in progress, but given the Jocks' reaction at the end, there's no way that's getting stretched for three in-game months. There is simply not enough story to get us to March. If we are getting Spring Break, this is how I think we are getting there: it's not going to be the massive DIK/HOT freeroam party people think it will be or rather are hoping for. It'll likely be MC and his LI going somewhere and enjoying themselves.

why do you think its likely that the game covers his first year in college and not his first semester? Esp given we have already established the game is naturally coming to its end and its all happened in that first semester?

I see it as each episode will have their time skips with some flashbacks so EP12 will probably take place the events of Christmas/New Years and the first weeks of Jan with 13 will be during valentines and around halfway through march with 14 being the big spring break episode finally 15 being the after effects of spring break to finals and finally 16 being your epilogues and viola

A one-episode Epilogue when Acting lessons, a much shorter game than this got two? I wont lie I like your optimism I really do, but you have just gone against what DPC told us earlier today, also you're stretching an already stretched story out just to get us to this Spring Break episode.

I was expecting Cinderella to appear in the middle or the end of the video. But no, nothing

I want my 36 seconds back amigo.

Why would you expect that If you want Cinderella, just look at my signatures.

One single panel? And you used one of the best ones, damn. Well alright, this is mine

Spoiler: Here's some of my many, MANY other choices

I have always liked the renders where the MC is some sort of manager or leader at a company as an adult, and Sally is his assistant or something. And then he bangs her. Based on those renders I made up my own headcanon that the MC becomes successful and rich with the help of Jills family if he chooses her.

At least I hope there is some sort of epilogue as an adult.

But acting lessons is a lot less filled with content compared to being a dik, it’s like comparing a bottle of water to water tower container filled with water.

And DPC has stated that he doesn’t know but it’s going to be big and many of us have stated about the main story being close to done and furthermore he also stated that he answered a lot of questions and introduced a few questions

If there were enough plot threads left with so far no way in sight to resolve them, I would agree that it could still take 3 episodes for all the main storylines to resolve.

Problem is though that most solutions are already in sight:
- We will probably get help against the betas from beta traitors (thanks to Sally), jocks and preps (thanks to the events on 29 december)
- We will probably get help from Quinn and in turn Sage and maybe Jade to bring Stephen down
- We will probably get help from Lily, the strippers and whoever owns the Pink Rose to bring Vinny and friends down if he/they happen to escape the police raid

All those things shouldn't take more than 2/3 ingame weeks. Even with time skips we still need some kind of story to let the game stay interesting. Unless a new major plotline opens up (for example if Cindy is much more important to everything instead of simply being a new love interest), I don't really see enough story for more than 1 episode.

Feels wrong for Spock to be using a Data Meme but, fuck it, its in regards to Bella, logic goes out the window
