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

[Better Cock Spock]

Well, not fallen yet.

He did go - Becky - Lily - Tiffani - Tara - Elena - back to back, without even a glass of water in between (if you wanted to).

That's pretty impressive.

I did Becky on my first playthrough. I had such high hopes for a great sex scene after her outstanding BJ. I was very disappointed.

I immediately rolled back, took it out of my playthrough and put Becky in the never to be touched pile with a certain Madame.

The dick rot you get from fucking that brown-haired chick

I had such high hopes for a great sex scene after her outstanding BJ. I was very disappointed.

Yeah that scene is a doomed save for me. Becky is also symptomatic of the whole character model change thing that happened, she looked like a smoke show at the HOTs party, and then she just crashes hard and becomes a comic relief character. Rio has had a lot of change. So has my dear smurf. Wonder what's up with that.

 

[Better Cock Spock]

Hmm I swear I had a "Contact Rio" tasks during a free roam where you basically say you heard she was sick and hope she'd doing better. No reply from Rio of course.

Update: Maybe that task came up after talking to Cammy?
Update again: That's it. He visits Cammy during the "decorating for Christmas" free roam then the task appears.

That's what I mean though, MC never takes the initiative to text her, Cammy has to bring it up for it to even occur to him. But unfortunately that's a gameplay limitation, since this is also the first episode we get to text Cammy, Mel and Sarah

But I was hoping for a something similar to Episode 9, because MC and Zoey have a lot of chat history on his phone to indicate they've started talking again after the park bench scene. If we had that with Rio, even if only on her path, I would've loved that. She doesn't even have to respond, it could just be a bunch of "hey I miss you" type texts. But instead it's absolutely nothing, and only optional

I like the concept of them fumbling around for what they want. But they're all just idiots! Especially when MC should be the guy driving the boat.

AAAAAMEN... AAAAAMEN... AAAAAAAMEN, amen, amen... preach it sister woman!

What... I grew up in the South.

And then there's Josy's wah moment which the MC and Maya wouldn've solved well before she started doing her own blog and spending so much time with herself. Just imagine if your own girlfriend started doing that and saying how lost she is...wtf? Are you paying attention?

Yup, what frustrates me is that no matter how hard I try to have the MC be a safe place for both Maya and Josy, its like they don't get it. Maya is finally seeming to come around after all the Thanksgiving stuff and that makes sense. It made sense to me why Maya pulled away, she's got some serious baggage. But Josy, no, Josy needs people for her to isolate for that long and worse for neither of her lovers to do anything about it... that's fucked up. If felt like DPC was very arbitrarily scripting in another crisis just for the sake of having crisis and in doing so, came at the cost of good story IMHO.

Then on top of that Maya and Josy don't go to the MCs Christmas party, but they DO go to the Tri-alphas and there isn't so much as a txt message asking the MC if he's okay with either. Um... step up and support you guy ladies... kay? Cause going to party with his mortal enemies is just... fuckin cold, especially after not showing up at his party and he had to leave his party to go to a party with them (apparently just we can have a pseudo harem scene that I neither wanted no asked for).

Sage, even just as fuck buddies got it... Sage was already the MC's GF long before Crossroads, hell, I'd go so far as to say she was already in love with the MC. I wish I had a screen shot of it, but its the moment they're at the HOTs party and they go outside, this is after the MC said something about not wanting to be "rebound guy". Sage looks at him and tells him he's not her rebound guy, that she will wait for him for as long as it takes for him to come around. Ladies and gents, in my humble experience of 56 years living on this Earth... anytime a woman looks at you and says something like that... it doesn't matter if she insists you're just fuck buddies, or if she denies she's your GF, or if she denies she's in love with you... her heart just told you... she's in love with you. I loved that scene and that scene alone could have sold me on Sage as a great LI.

Writing should be an idealized world, filled with conflict. An AVN should give you the freedom to explore that fantasy of whatever. Not set everything up for hamfisted silliness.

Que hymnals... ^^^^^^^ THIS

I always thought a Rio route would be nice. Her and the MC seem to have a little bond and it would drive Quinn absolutely insane. How dare someone show her servant that she has value.

During Hell Week during the preppy mansion run there's a scene where the MC finds Rio outside and they talk and there's an option to give her money. This only has purpose if the MC previously did some other lewd scene with her, which I did not. Other than that, you're just wasting money.

I wish that had had an alternate where with no prior lewd scene if you were just a nice guy and gave her money to help her out she'd react to that and that could become the foundation for a friendship or more, and her beginning to see the MC as a nice guy (something she does later on and says so). Especially if you try to give her $$$$$ and she rejects that as being too much, and tries not to accept it with the whole "why are you being so nice to me, what do you want" bit which would be in character for her... and then puzzlement when the MC says he doesn't want anything. Something like that would have been a nice touch there.

I thought your number 2 will be Rio or Mona I did not expect it to be Cinderella. It never occur to me that you and Spock are rivals. You can have my title of Mr. Teddy Bear from now on

By the way I did not expect Micah and Penny to be on your wall

I don't do lazy writing; I think that my writing is overly ambitious, and I am always deliberate about what I write and how I do it. I think I look at that part in a different way than you do. That phone call showed that Quinn needed MC, and for the first time, she tried to show it, but MC was busy helping Maya. And as a result, after that failed attempt and what followed, she reverted and didn't try again. It motivated why she was absent for large parts of the episode and affected their relationship in the way that I wanted.
On MC’s choice not to answer, you're on to the right answer. Quinn and MC had a nice talk at the BBQ the day earlier. How could he have realized that a phone call late on Thanksgiving was urgent? It wasn't a high priority for him at that moment; people don't answer phone calls when they are preoccupied. You might have prioritized Quinn higher than him because of what you know as a player. It's the same with Riona fans who want to help her but aren't given the choice to do so. Not every choice that the player wants to make will be presented to you for storytelling reasons. It makes the player get a bit frustrated with the MC, and the urge to help their favorite character increases with those storytelling techniques.
I wouldn't have handled it differently, even if I had another year to develop episode 11. The addition to that scene fulfilled the purpose I wanted, and leaving it out would make it worse.

mc wasnt busy to help Maya. he got the papers, he is done with helping. he just sit there and dont do anything useful. he is not the brain in the team. they were talking and party, thats all. by the way, they said they will show the papers to Jill family's lawyer.
at the end of the xmas party mc tells to quinn, he is into her. why wasnt high priority for him the call from the girl who he is into, at that moment when he doesnt do anything important/immediate?
oh, yes, we understand why. because: "I am always deliberate about what I write and how I do it." "It motivated why she was absent for large parts of the episode and affected their relationship in the way that I wanted." it is lazy and poor writing.
he doesnt pick the phone, because you dont want it. not because he has any reason for it, in that moment.

For all those claiming that Zoey was a MG, or Quinn was a MG, and argued with me when I said there was only 5 MG and would only ever be 5 MG.

I mean, arguing over who's a main girl and who isn't is entirely pointless, since it's not the first time DPC made that clear. His reasoning though doesn't make a lick of sense. If main girls are supposed to be "important to the story regardless of your choices", then let's compare MG Jill to SG Quinn. How important is Jill to the story if you are not on her path?
- she is present, although entirely useless, during Operation Maya's Bullshit
- the entire Tybalt scheme is there, but pretty irrelevant if you aren't going after her (her turning Tybalt's plums into plum compote is of course very nice)
- she is the connection point for the Lana stuff, kind of, put so far that hasn't been very important
Otherwise she is pretty irrelevant.
Quinn on the other hand is pivotal in the entire "free tuition" plot as well as the Drugs-Buddy-Vinny-Rio-stuff, which so far is a huge part of the main story. You always see her in these scenes, if you are on her path or not.
So by DPCs own logic Quinn would have to be a main girl much more than Jill. She isn't though, which means that his reasoning is shit.

Brothers, not rivals, and you never had that title anyway, Nick

Plus this fucking guy doesn't have Rio on there at all

We're not rivals. I have her #2, he has #3. But he does simp a lot harder than me.

The last 4 are basically my current wish list - Penny, Mischa, Lynn & Leanne.

You can ask Cinderella about that matter Mr. Danger. She called Mr. Teddy Bear so sucked on that

Spock simp so much that his Vulcan side is being overshadow. Leanne is up there in my wishlist she's the hottest among the trio introduce in the party

Cinderella likes mice, not fucking rats like you, Nick

Leanne is alright, Charlotte is forgettable. I like Felicia's hips, but not enough to kiss her

Just admit it your half vulcan side is fucking dpshit

All I admit is that I need to simp harder to influence him...

My interpretation of the likely future is that Episode 12 will wrap up some, but not all of the dangling plot threads, leaving a final cliffhanger into Season 4 (so that the Season 4 DLC, when it finally releases, isn't regarded as "optional"). My guess is that DPC's tentative plan is to wrap up the main plot in Episode 13, but currently he only has definite plans through the end of Episode 12, and an idea of what's supposed to happen to wrap things up in 13.

My prediction is that Episode 12 will have a NYE party, but will mostly focus on relationship plots - revealing what's in Bella's room (obviously); the throuple reaching a crisis point; exploring the Jill/Bella dynamic or following up on Bianca (though that might get pushed to 13); Sage finding a new family; Zoey having to deal with the MG squad; Riona returning; Jade's divorce; etc.

There will probably continue to be tension with the Alphas, but I'm expecting the rest of the frat stuff to get postponed until either the cliffhanger at the end of the episode, or even not get brought up again until Season 4. Instead, there'll be the fallout from Vinny/Buddy, and possibly conflict with/over Stephen (though that could also be simmering with the resolution waiting for after Mona's cliffhanger return - if that's the route the divorce ends up taking).

I'm guessing Episode 13 will have the denoument of the Frat Wars, and possibly Stephen's come-uppance since he's probably the person who supplied Magnar with the answers to the mid-terms.

Then, squinting more deeply into my crystal ball, there'll be a timeskip to Spring Break with a combined DIK/Alpha party for the first epilogue, and another timeskip to Finals Week for the second epilogue, and a final epilogue establishing the new status quo for the following academic year and beyond, being Episodes 14 and 15 (and possibly 16).

Nope, he didn't really give anything in the latest Q&A just saying
"For that reason, I can't say a final count of episodes, like 13, 14, 15."
This followed a statement declaring he has ambitious plans for endings and doesn't know how many episodes it will take.

I believe what he actually said was "For that reason, I can't say a final count of episodes, like 13, 14, 15..." - the ellipsis changes the meaning somewhat, from 14 +/- 1 to 13+

To me Felicia looks like someone who is starting to get one too many facelifts done

Her face is definitely firmly in the uncanny valley for me...
