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

[-VQueS-]

It would be strange if Josy and Maya events in next episode were completely removed for players who did not choose J&M threesome...

So it was with Sage. They had no more contact. The same thing will happen to M&J.
What's so hard to understand about this, guys?

Its actually good, choices have consequences. This is a more realistic game, you won't be able to get all the content.

Also the other girls are better right now anyway. Just hope for no twists like this with them

To be fair, do you think there will be no possible Sage (lewd) contacts for the rest of the game unless the MC made a move on her in Episode 3?

I get that the decision to walk away from Maya and Josy was (narratively speaking) a much bigger one than turning down Sage or Bella, but it's still early in the game. Given the twists we've already seen, I don't find it hard to imagine we might eventually encounter something that causes us to reassess old decisions.

You are confirming that Sage and the HOTs are definitely gone on your playthrough. So what, you keep rejecting girls until you end all alone and game over, or you have to wait to DrPinkCake to keep adding new girls? To be clear It's not like I really want to keep pushing to get something with any of those two but some people do, and for a game like this, just ending as a friend with two of the main LIs half way through the story seems kinda tasteless.

 

[Skode]

If you make decisions which permanently reject certain girls and only leave 1-2 romantic love interests, the game would soon become boring. The game needs a wide variety of girls and events to entertain for the length of an episode. Even when you not follow DIK or CHICK route, there are currently events with Josy, Maya, Quinn, Sage and Bella for all players.
It would be strange if Josy and Maya events in next episode were completely removed for players who did not choose J&M threesome since it would also reduce variety for those players which only could be compensated by adding scenes with new girls or some sidegirls. Heading for a monogamous relationship with only one LI (e.g. Jill) might result in a rather short and dull playthrough.

I think game is centric on the main 5 - and likely by end game itll be about choosing the one as I dont envisage a harem ending in all honesty with all of them, it would have to take some ridiculous plot for that to happen and be too far fetched based on the characters as they are presented so far, some would maybe with certain other girls but not all of them. Its likely gonna be always about main 5 and then about adding more options via side girls such as the teachers and the HOTS outside of Sage. The game clearly pushes the 5 as the main characters and is the only one it tracks every chapter ending for you to see your progress so its not overtly surprising they get the priority over Jade in a branching path as the default option. It also makes a helluva lot of sense when you think about how its pushing Maya tasks about threesomes, sleeping with women and the likes that there was always gonna be a another girl joining the fun (most of us saw the twist coming). Still the game pushed Jade hard chapter 3 and Hell week task involving a teacher was heavily discussed too between you and Derek so id hope there isnt negative consequences regarding her in a further update but we can only wait and see. Either way its clear in pathing the 5 always will take top billing (esp in circumstances featuring not just one but 2 of them over a single side character lol)

Still on insulting the Softies are we?

 

[Crystaldom]

Question is, are there any variables labeled "pathMaya" or "pathJosy"? If not, could variables like that be added later?

No, there aren't any Josy or Maya only paths up to ep4. That would show up in ep5 if there is a decision to be made. The variables are added to the .save file when you save the game at that point. BAD will use these variables and check to see what paths you are on determined by which .sav file you are using when you start ep5."

Arguably not as much as youd maybe expect given how big the game is but the pay off more than makes up for that. The story is fantastic, the characters are fantastic and itll have you laughing your head off too. People download for the sex but stay for the story. Theres plenty of games to fuck lots of girls but few are as well crafted to make you WANT to fuck them as much as this game does... just don't start best girl debates as there is no right or wrong answer, were all winners in this one my friend!

This is true. I have seen enough porn I play these games for something different. Im not really here for None of these games storylines, characters backgrounds, the devs intentions of character development or the hidden aspects. Non of that really interest me at all. Besides ITS FICTIONAL... I like to play the game for the enjoyment and leave it at that. Some people take these games and act like its therapy or a mystery novel of what the dev is up to with this angle or that angle or the angle of character. Its kinda creepy how delved in people can be, but thats their deal and their prerogative.


However, this game is awesome. Its funny, enjoyable and the storyline is actually good. The sex scenes are spot on. I myself dont get as heavily involved or delved into the backstories as people on this 3000 page forum discussing it, but I see why. Its a game that draws you in for wanting more. In whichever route you take. The Jill route. The Maya and Hosey route, or the DIK n every girl possible route. The music is kinda cool, but from 1st release to every update there is a reason it has the crazy following it has. I was hear for the release and have enjoyed every update. It can take months for updates, but when it happens. The Dev Delivers.

At the time Josy arrives at B&R, their relation is actually dead. Both had sex with mc (if you played those paths) and both had accepted that their lesbian relationship is over. Both placed their hope on the mc.
When mc runs away, they have to deal with their situation :
- one part is restoring their own relation and making plans for the future and
- the other part actually is to get mc back since both fell in love with him.

I just think it happened far to quickly, it felt forced. Which is my biggest problem with that entire thread.

Like in the end, if you choose to try and be with them, and they say no. There is no way in the world you would be like "OK we can be friends." You'd immediately be like fuck you guys, I'm blocking your numbers and I want nothing to do with you.

I like this game a lot, but the actual lack of choice is my biggest problem. Like in this scenario, instead of being forced to go watch that movie with Sage and the other girls, how about staying home with Bella instead? If your going for the Sage route? Go to the movie, if your Isabella? Stay with her.

There are certain characters like Jade where the story is flexible to your choice, but characters that seem like the Mains are not that flexible.

I see the decision between "friends path" or "more than friends path" as a decision I want "less M&J" content or I want "more M&J" content.
If I choose to want less M&J, I will have fewer opportunities bound with them than the opposite choice.

I hope that:
1. The content of M&J's friends path will be minimal, so people who don't like them will no longer have a reason to complain about them and there will be less uncivil comments.
2. The M&J drama will not return until Maya's father returns. Until then, the girls will also have some time to be happy. So far, the main attention can be shifted to other LI.

For the record, I want more M&J content, but in way that it doesn't upset their protester so much.

I'd prefer if the friendship path had a branch that would keep you as close friends, and anther path that would have you drift apart (leading to minimal contact eventually). I agree completely it would be good for the M&J drama to take a back seat for a while.

In other news, I have now completed a playthrough of Acting Lessons. I'm even more impressed by DPC's skill as a craftsman, but I am considerably more worried about the long term prospects for Being a DIK. I'll see if I can organize my thoughts in the morning, lest I be unnecessarily bitchy when I'm tired.

gosh i just wanna say, i love sage,,,,

 

[faded.blue]

I think sometimes you guys forget this is COLLEGE duh, on top of that is college with people fucking everywhere. Nothing is ever closed off (unless the dev wants it). People break up and felt like shit one day and then it's alright and get back together or find somebody else the next day all the time... cuz thats just how horny 20 years olds work? Their minds are chaotic like that.

 

[mugizib]

I think Jill is the most hypocritical character in the game. The typical spoiled millionaire girl who likes to leave everyone with blue balls and use them for her vagaries. Her latest, playing with the MC to discover "new sensations".

Relation with Josi/Maya never will end well, due the personality of MC.

With Quinn most probably end in jail or expelled.

The others side chicks are just for fun.

The MILFS Bella, Jade and Cathy are good for sex, but not for a relationship.

So far, the best character is Sage, despite her little weakness for that moron of boyfriend. Hope the relationship grows up with her.

How many times does this need to be said that is not going to be the case they will still have a part to play in the story even if it's not on the romance route, Stop saying that they will be removed because that won't happen.

Honestly at a loss to understand how you could get that sense of Jill. Is she a bit spoiled? Yes, but she doesn't seem to be comfortable with it as we see in that scene when the MC's in bed with her where she says that her lifestyle "isn't happiness" and that she'd be "perfectly fine" without all her expensive possessions.

She seems like she's lived a sheltered, protected life and hasn't had much chance to get out and do things just for her, like her life has been planned out which is a common theme for people who come from rich, millionaire families. So if she is "blue balling", it's not in some deliberately manipulative way where she's "playing" with him, it's likely because she's uncertain, nervous, and most probably still a virgin.

Relation with Josi/Maya never will end well, due the personality of MC.

Again, not sure how you came to this conclusion because regardless of the route the MC takes, there isn't anything about the MC's personality that would suggest he'd be the cause of them potentially breaking up again.

With Quinn most probably end in jail or expelled.

Perhaps, but I could also see a scenario where her operation starts to fall apart due to her actions and she drags the MC down with her, which leads to a bit of a redemptive arc for Quinn where the MC can choose to help her set things right or let her do her own thing while he does his.

The others side chicks are just for fun.

The MILFS Bella, Jade and Cathy are good for sex, but not for a relationship.

No arguments here.

So far, the best character is Sage, despite her little weakness for that moron of boyfriend. Hope the relationship grows up with her.

For being no strings attached FWB, sure, but this relationship might be doomed to fail in the long run if either:

A) Sage can't get over her feelings for Chad and is so hurt by the whole thing that she doesn't let the MC get closer than FWB
B) Same as A but Sage eventually doesn't even want to be FWB anymore
C) Chad isn't gay, dumps his side-piece, wants to get back together with Sage, and she accepts because she still has feelings for him.

Nope it seems misleading posts are a thing in here now.

Don't forget about lots of alcohol and drugs.
While a game remembers decisions, a 20-year-old drunk and horny college girl at a party may easily ignore mc's previous decisions and just want to have fun and sex.
