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

[Dumitas]

Ya know, if you'd started with that, maybe this wouldn't have dragged on for so long.

Some folks here act like anyone who ever posts a comment should know absolutely everything that's ever been said and discussed about this game in the last 2000+ pages. Maybe next time if someone questions something about the game that has an official answer, you might think about mentioning it straight away.

Or read the official guide instead of 2877 pages, you can refuse opinions, but facts, are facts and will remain the same regardless of what you want.

You're getting some of it wrong though and you ain't listening to anyone who is trying to correct you so I'm not going to waste my time on this anymore.

One or two of us have been here since 0.1 and just about everything you have said has been discussed at one point or the other

Well then if that's the case, say so, because so far whenever people argue with things I say it just feels like a regular difference of opinion rather than something that has been officially disproven. A lot of lengthy discussions could easily be avoided if the answer is "because DPC said so". But if it isn't, then it's perfectly OK to voice an opinion if there's been no official word on whether it's right or wrong.

And obviously everything that's ever been discussed will be discussed again, especially in a thread this size, so it's pointless getting annoyed at people who, understandably, aren't going to read 2000+ pages of comments.

playing on the DIK path is literally the most cringe shit ever

What lengthy discussions? you have been given the correct answers by other users or is it that we are all wrong and you are right? It's DPC game it's been well known that you can back out of relationships with certain choices and once your out of the relationship that's it.

I think you should start reading those pages you might learn from them.

Finally got around to playing and had a blast.

Storyline's obvious references to Bully and American Pie: Beta House really hit my nostalgia prostate real good.

Looking forward to more Isabella stuff in the future as I think she's best girl but also gonna be the swerve character, like that one lady from Acting Lessons, and will be crazy and that her husband's corpse is in the locked door of her house.

As of season 1 you can reject and close the routes for every main girl by simply doing the following

Reject Sage and her offer to be FWB = Closes Sage's route

Fail to accumulate enough points during the lunch scene with Bella and she won't like you (self explanatory) and won't recommend you to Jill which will also affect her route

If Bella doesn't like you and you tell Jill that you don't think your good for her that closes her route. Not kissing Jill at the end of the date also closes her route and you just remain friends.

Maya & Josy's are also self explanatory.

Not sure what you're having difficulty understanding.

Pretty much everything you just said because nobody's ever explained it this simply. I knew that by not doing these things you wouldn't get points for them, but I honestly had no idea that it would completely close their paths in just the first season. Honestly seems rather odd to me to do this so early on in the game.

Stop projecting your own fanfic onto the game.

It wasn't really "fanfic", just what I thought might happen because I was operating under the belief that this wasn't the end since it's only the first season.

You might recognise it as the correct answer, but not everyone does, especially those who haven't been here since day 1 because it just looks like your average speculation rather than fact. Maybe cut people some slack, for once, and if what they're arguing about has an official answer that debunks their point, explicitly say it rather than just assuming everyone has your in-depth level of knowledge about the game.

Again, a simple, "DPC has said this decision cuts off Maya and Josy", would have spared us all this grief.

I look at it this way, closing one route opens another one. Choices made to stay on certain paths eliminate others. I think it basically has an impact on MCs character and how he is received by certain individuals.

Well, your the only one that's disagreeing and didn't you say you were a new player? It doesn't matter how long people have been around here for most pick the game up pretty fast and have a pretty good understanding of what's going on.

DPC says, people on here have said and as it was mentioned even in the walkthrough has reference to this.

This game is one of my favorites.

True, but I still find it odd that all paths with the 5 main girls can potentially be closed this early on, unless there's going to be an ending where the MC ends up a massive DIK and lifelong bachelor having casual sex with random women for the rest of his life.

 

[Isaneclownposey]

Is DrPinkCake the best dev on the planet at the moment? Like if NBA was active we would be arguing Lebron James or The Greek Freak, who would be our top dev argument?

 

[Dumitas]

But is pretty clear and obvious, it is not like you close the path without knowing or by accident, every single tool is there to keep your interest in Josy and the other girl, or not. Harder to believe is going for "just friends" and then all the sudden an option that say "you know what, I was just kidding".

Just picture that we didn't knew about it, and in season 5 you find out that you can't have a relationship with Josy and/or the other girl, and you go like "But I choose just friend back in season 1, why?"... right?

The choice is there, pretty clear to be honest.

PhillyGames is good in my opinion

Well, I think you are close, there will be Massive Chick, Neutral, and Massive DIK endings with certain girls falling into each.
...... Unless DPC has his own plan and will make fools of all of us
Besides, I am not convinced we got to know all main girls. With only season one completed a lot could happen.

Well it's hard not to disagree when you're not aware that paths can be cut off this early and the responses to what you're saying just look like people who have a different viewpoint. Also, it's rare for a game to cut off the main LI pursuits this early so that also contributes to the feeling of disbelief. I know AL had clear cutoff points for different girls, but I figured this would come much later on.

DPC stated there will be multiple endings for the game and for almost every girl.Also I think there will be only 5 LI, think DPC said it before starting the game but everything can change.

Considering they made 22 different endings for AL, I can't imagine just how many this game will have when all is said and done. I'd imagine that the Neutral path can get you any of them, the DIK path can get you Sage, and the CHICK path can get you one or two of the rest.

I suppose it's possible we could get other girls who the MC can score points with in season 2, but surely it'd be easier to just stick with these 5 than to start adding more and more LIs to the mix. Unless it's just Quinn and she becomes a surprise 6th LI if you cut off the other 5 and do all the season 1 stuff with her; fuck her during the cum-petition, buy all her offers, have the threesome with her and Riona, go into Quinn's room when you stay with Sage, and fuck her on the roof of the DIK mansion.
