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

[dalli_x]

Whoa that's some next level dot connecting but, on that note, when MC is telling Bella about his childhood and school he does mention that the family of the boy he beat up wanted to sue but dropped the complaint now nobody would drop a complaint like that all of a sudden unless outside forces were involved and Neil being dirt poor leaves only one obvious answer the grandfather but why do that when the gramps hates Neil and speaking of the gramps why did he wait so long to send MC that box of his mom's stuff along with her diary and the money?

There are about 15 years between the hatred and the incident in high school. That's a long time for them to cool off. The grandfather wants to give them both a chance, and in EP11, we decide whether the MC will take advantage of that opportunity.

In my case, it's like I said a couple of weeks ago in another post - she rubs me the wrong way. Frankly, I just don't trust her.

I completely closed that "Lily is suspicious" thing after Ep.11

I completely closed that "Lily is suspicious" thing after Ep.11

And then opened the "Lily is jealous" thing immediately after.

back to this makeup thing, which li looks the worst without makeup?

A Tossup, between Leon & Derek.

As many of you know, I only play the JM branch and have given it some thought and made different decisions for both of them because I didn't like some things in EP11. I also needed a new direction for EP12.

For example, I don't like the HQ with Maya. Please don't get me wrong, I love Maya. But I don't like the conversation between Maya and the MC at all. Maya worries way too much about the illness and what might happen to the MC. I think this path is the wrong one for the throuple. Why? The future should primarily be about all the good things in life and not about the fear that the MC might end up like Patrick.

Josy's HQ, on the other hand, is fully focused on a successful and happy future. With a few right decisions, it could turn out really well.

- Josy's Block
- Iris is a designer
- The MC isn't participating in the competition and is better off playing guitar at the college Christmas party. Philip said yes, so they can bond there.
- Maya will help Jill with her passion, which will also be an advantage for Maya. She'll experience social issues firsthand.
- Sage has the perfect model measurements. Iris might need a model, and the MC needs a costume designer for his performances.
- Josy will have so many topics covered for her block that it will be all hyped. Models, music, social issues, etc.

Tommy was right in EP4 when he told the MC to think outside the box. He shouldn't be looking for the family legacy, but rather pay more attention to himself and his friends.

I've only seen the Josy date so I'll just talk about that one. I love Josy's handout/ date so much because she really opens up, soo super cute and best of all the I love you. Josy makes it pretty clear who wants to be with MC and she actually says it. For the throuple there only one thing giving it hope the I choice not to say it yet which is yes give real hope to saying to both girls that or one again. If you can say it to both girls then maybe it can be save or a chance to date both girls.
I look forward to MC taking more pictures for Josy's blog she'll make a great model and blogger

So? What's your point? People do what they have to do to survive

Touche but I don't think Rox wanted that life for her neither did Buddy which is why he sent her into foster care

So, you're saying the only way to prove to gramps what kind of man the MC is is to fight in the tourney and wait you're also saying that the dude that wants you to compete in the tourney is MC's uncle eh that's a bit of a stretch

 

[Darkwen]

I think there will be a trouple split if you fuck up to bad. Also think Maya & Josy will get dedicated Paths but this is pure speculation

favoring one girl in throuple is clearly leading to solo with that girl. The only real question is on others path 12 early guess seems 12 going to act as crossroads part 2 so can you from others back to a main girl or can solo only happen on throuple.
There seems to be a Sage option so maybe Josy, Maya, Sage have others path open

But you are forced to choose between girls, I Still think the throuple will survive. Its going to be a Riot when DPC cancels out the Throuple path for solo paths, i think its going to be a MAJOR choice at that point where you have requirements bound to RP of said girl/both and if very unballanced it leads to the solo M or J path. The moment the throuple collapses is the day Badik Finaly breaks my heart

 

[ffive]

Sarah, Melanie & Camila being thirsty after the Restaurant closing was odd. It would mean they either really enjoyed prostitute themselves or they have no other sexual activity.

Well, it's obvious they had to abstain. Everyone knows that if a prostitute has sex outside of her job even once, she loses the ability to demand payment from Johns when she's on the clock, and is instead obliged to provided her services for free. And they wouldn't want that.

You just fail to grasp the greatness that's DPC's writing.

I admit the throuple could be save I'll I do think there be a date both choice the truth is it could be save. If it can be save I have a hard time working pass what this ep does to balance it gone if scene within 1 then goes to RP it forcing into a choice already made for you. But maybe both sides can get what they want

Not tryna start a war but quinn looks like a dead fish without makeup.

I'll be honest. During my first playthrough of EP11, I had Maya's HQ. It depressed me more than inspired me. What I find absolutely terrible is that later, when the MC lies down with Maya or Josy, they don't even say goodnight to each other. Josy is also much more hurt when Maya tells her that the MC told her he loves her.

I think this explains Interlude and Zoey very well. Zoey didn't understand the MC's signs and gestures, nor her own drawing. Zoey and the MC didn't know what love was. The MC experienced it painfully because he assumed Zoey had a boyfriend. I think it's similar with Josy. She needs to listen in order for the MC to love her. Maya, on the other hand, is better at interpreting the MC's signs and gestures, and she knows that the MC loves her, even if he hasn't told Maya yet.

Josy wants both of them, and I think this is so that Josy needs to get to know them again first. Maya has changed a lot in EP11. She's braver, calmer, and hopeful for a better future. Josy doesn't know this Maya and has yet to get to know her. But they both want this, just like in EP8.

Micro breaks are the magic word. The MC needs to give them both a little more space in EP12, just like in EP8.

Interlude is a really good source of information. Kissing is very important in the game. Zoey said yes, so she wouldn't tell the MC to be a good kisser, so he doesn't become an idiot. My MC actually only kisses four girls in the game: Zoey, Josy, Maya, and Sarah. I noticed something in EP11.

Josy loves MC that we know or least when spending time with her with Maya she used to now she can't say that she does. They talk wanting to make it better like ep8,5 and 9 but things never get better between them even as they finish talking Josy doesn't look hopefully and then when mc goes to sleep with Josy, Maya sad expression looks like she knows it over

Is there some mod where I can just edit variables quickly to get the most ideal save for each LI path?

 

[dalli_x]

So, you're saying the only way to prove to gramps what kind of man the MC is is to fight in the tourney and wait you're also saying that the dude that wants you to compete in the tourney is MC's uncle eh that's a bit of a stretch

He is not allowed to fight in the tournament. He should say so he only trains to be able to swear himself in. That's probably what saved Neil from being charged. The MC proves that Neil was telling the truth 4 years ago and the MC was just defending himself. The MC is proving to Dwayne and Chao his and Neil's honesty.

You might laugh, but I want my MC to be the next Elvis.

- In EP10, the MC can eat a mushroom if he plays it right. But that comes at a price. He can't sing. So Elvis is dropped because he could sing. But that doesn't mean the MC has to give up his dream of music. Take Brian May, for example. Lead guitarist and a doctorate in science. So don't eat mushrooms.

- Not participating in the tournament in EP11, but attending the college Christmas party. Chao even gives the MC a good tip on how to loosen up his kick. It's good for the hip swing Elvis had. But why Elvis?

Elvis Presley was not only good at singing (no drugs) and playing the guitar, he also practiced karate and taekwondo for 19 years. He even had the “San-Black-Belt” in karate. He never took part in tournaments. Now count how many books you can find in BaD that feature Elvis Presley. The MC can't dance when he's sober, but when he's drunk he goes off. Heck, there's even a Priscilla in the game.

I wouldn't be surprised if the MC starts dancing and sing at the college Christmas party.

 

[Vill3m]

Sure she did.

She writes in the diary about how he is such a girl with his feelings. She relates that same sentiment to Bret when getting her first tattoo.

Your comment made it seem like Zoey was making fun of the MC right to his face and hurting his feelings with that. Turns out your problem is just with a sentence in her private diary taken out of context. She's not disregarding his feelings there, just feeling sorry for laughing during the sexy time because she knows how sensitive the MC can be. Same with her conversation with Bret. She only acknowledges that the MC can be a softie, but more than anything she admits to her shortcomings when it comes to talking about feelings and how uncomfortable it makes her. Again, it's part of her character arc to learn to open up more. By the end of the interlude she's already pouring her whole heart out to Bret.

Also lets not forget that she is the one who cut off contact with him, to let him "get over her".

This is a subject for another time that doesn't really have anything to do with disregarding the MC's feelings. It's another example that Zoey still has a lot to learn about good communication. She wrongly thought at that time that she was doing the right thing, based on her misguided assumptions since the two never talked about feelings.

She is a pretty selfish character. Part of that is youth and her and the MC being bad at communicating their feelings, but even if MC had opened up to her she would have discounted his feelings. That is just how she was before the camping trip.

Now you're just making assumptions. There's no proof on how Zoey would have reacted if the MC had opened up earlier. After the MC confessed to her during the bbq, he walked away before she could say anything in return. I'd even say that Zoey taking the time to reflect on her feelings and picking up the courage to confess in episode 11 proves your assumptions wrong.

Playing through again right quick the trigger is kinda ambiguous, as we see her looking at you and your LI. Whether that trigger is because she finally realizes what you both had, or what she is now missing, depends on the viewer I think.

That is a credit to DPC I guess, in that people will take what they want from the scene.

On Bella's route the MC's sitting all alone by the campfire, thinking about motorboating her giant titties, which is why Zoey can't necessarily assume he's moved on. Whatever's caught Zoey's eye can be anyone's own interpretation but him moving on is definitely not the canonical event that triggers something in her. Besides, she can already learn about the MC's dating life if you agree to hang out with her earlier and she's not bothered at all by the revelation. Zoey's mainly glad they can be friends again, because that's how she used to see their relationship. Until the MC finally tells his own point of view.

Josy's expression is more sorrowful. Maya's experience has made her more serene and she understands one thing. They can't push the sofa together. They also communicate with each other normally at the last Freeroam event and they both stand together in the doorway at Isabella's.

MC has two left feet and two right toes he can't dance

Maybe if Lily wasn't stripping and fucking for money she wouldn't have to worry about being seen as a whore and treated like one?

I'm not sure if anywhere it has been stated, in game, that Lily is fucking Pink Rose customers, the only person as far as I have seen that she fucked is the mc, she isn't one of Quinn's girls, so stripping and giving customers lap dances doesn't mean she's fucking them.
