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

[I_Only_Support_Real_Onez]

I played a few minutes of this game and the quality of the animations and renders are really impressive. But I didn’t like the theme very much, I don’t really like this high school and teen drama thing. I also didn't hear good things about the creator, so I decided to stop playing so I wouldn't be disappointed in the future.

I wish nothing but success to this game, even if I don't play I would like to see it come to an end someday. It would be a pity if the project was abandoned.

This has nothing to do with highschool... These are adults in college. This game is better than any college comedy movie ive ever saw including Animal House. There's hints of drama here and there but it isnt the main focus and I dont even know what bad things people have been saying about the creator but his last game was a classic and this is looking even better than that was. give it another shot. There is 5 episodes just play the first one if you arent hooked by then then just give up... but playing only 5 minutes doesnt do justice to the work that was put in to the game.

Hi, I want to start with saying that this game is really next level from any VN I've played before.

I've just finished episode 1 and have some questions.

1. Some dialog options are greyed-out and say that specific lvl of DIK is required. Is it normal and would be available during, say, another playtrought, or does that mean I have done something wrong before and that's why I cannot use that option?

2. Do we get to bang Jade out of the dream in future episodes?

I would appreciate any help.

How you managed to get so much so wrong is quite honestly baffling.

 

[mindern]

Or it could turn out like the Hell Week tasks and even if they fail the threesome task by faking it, they'll get accepted anyway because they've done enough or because Quinn just says, "fuck it", and lets them in because she wants them in.

Or the tasks aren’t particularly important to the sorority, Quinn just uses it to find girls to work for her.

She doesn’t give a shit if the girls actually completed the tasks she just wants to know they’re up for performing overtly sexual things for their own gain. Doesn’t one of the other pledges say their list is fairly tame? Find a rainbow umbrella and so on?

Quinn isn’t setting these tasks to weed out pledges, she’s setting them to find working girls. Doubt she cares if the girls do everything on the list if they’re willing to suck cock on demand.

1. Yes, that is normal and yes, they are available if you've made different allignment choices
2. Yes

It reminds me of that quote from the debate scene in Billy Madison

1. Yes, some choices will depend on your affinity/status and this is determined by Major Choices and DIK points respectively
2. Keep playing and find out.

The Scavenger Hunt tasks seem to be set by whoever is the "mother" and Maya's, now also Josy's, tasks are different from the other girls because Quinn is their mother. So the tasks aren't likely to be a way for Quinn to test potential candidates for her business since other HOTs set different tasks for their "daughters".

It could be that daughters just need to get above a certain threshold of tasks, like 90%, and they'll be accepted, but they don't know that and are therefore more motivated to do all the tasks since they think that's what they have to do.

We are already in 2020 and the difficulty that people have in dealing with different opinions still fascinates me...

 

[felicemastronzo]

That's how the DIK's handle Hell Week we don't know about the HOT's so that's a big and unlikely assumption. I'd imagine they will get in since it's more convenient for the story. But like Hell Week I'll assume they both get in weather you're in their relationship or not regardless of our choices unless DPC has it (the story) set so that they don't and we go from there.

but are you referring to being admitted to the HOTs?
I don't think that's in doubt, there isn't even another sorority as plan b ....
the problem is the free tuition, and if there is, I don't think they give it to all the participants

to what we know there are some economic problems, why would Quinn therefore give a gift to a girl she doesn't particularly appreciate having even just an excuse to not do it?

But if the rules are the mothers set the task there’s nothing stopping Quinn from using it as a test on her daughters and finding other ways to test the other girls. For example, look at how she goads Camilla in Ep1 to do stuff with the MC saying it’s just what being in college is like and later Camilla is on the menu.

I’m not saying this is what’s happening for certain, just an idea, but Quinn could be using her ability to pick the scavenger hunt list for her daughters to find said girls limits. It would mean whether she accepts people is less about how much of list they complete and more if they’re working for her. Her motivation for making the list changes how important it’s completed is to her.

you have to want it strongly and be willing to sacrifice your CHICK side

Opinions formed from a basis in fact are fine but incoherent ramblings need to be challenged.

It's definitely possible however the main lure seems to be the 'free tuition' rumor.

You got 2 things massively wrong with your so-called "opinion", so forgive people if they don't respond so favourably to said "opinion".

 

[Alfagrem]

The Scavenger Hunt tasks seem to be set by whoever is the "mother" and Maya's, now also Josy's, tasks are different from the other girls because Quinn is their mother.

Slight quibble in that Arieth is Josy's mother (picnic scene with M&J re: Best cocks) but she does seem to of inherited Quinns list for Maya as she was previously not coupled.

 

[ename144]

If she has trust issues that's fine, but don't be like "Never lie to me." If your not also prepared to do the same in return. But thing is for me I feel like she told the bigger secret that she was into women, I just don't understand why it's difficult to make that next step in saying you have dated or are currently dating a woman?

And for the MC, I honestly don't think it would have mattered as much as it did if didn't turn out to be a person he knew. And to be fair to Maya she was going to tell him as well before Josy showed up out of the blue.

But honestly I don't even know why I'm debating this topic, guess I'm bored? Because whatever problems there were? Have been squashed.

I think both Maya and the MC did act stupid, but their like 18/19 yo teenagers, so their supposed to not have all their shit together. And also we have to remember that this is a narrative.

Personally, I thought it was pretty easy to see why Maya was reluctant to tell the MC that she still has a girlfriend. By the time Maya trusted the MC enough to get into the whole lesbian thing, she already had strong feelings for him herself.

Beyond just being extremely confusing, this left her in real bind. If she tells him about Josy, the MC can basically react in three ways: he can be angry Maya hid this from him, he can end their proto-romance out of respect for her relationship, or he can stick with it and ask her to break up with Josy.

The first is obviously the one Maya most fears (and not without cause as it turned out, though the circumstances became worse with her indecision). But even the latter two have a high price because either would effectively force Maya to choose between Josy and the MC at a time when she has serious doubts about both: the MC being a boy makes her worry he is just a momentary fling, but Josy has all but abandoned her by this point and what little contact they have had has become toxic.

So it's no wonder Maya kept waiting for some clear indication of which way she should choose before she explained it all to the MC. Sadly, by then it was too late. Happily, a fourth option presented itself in the aftermath (assuming the MC played his cards right).

Forgot about that. Maybe they each get a mother but one of them assigns the tasks to both girls.

I have no memory of that but, to be fair, neither does Arieth

Did he get 2 things wrong? we are in 2020, and some people do have bad reactions to opinions

your analysis is perfectly consistent with the character and with how DPC writes her

Maya's path is always the same:
1) something bad happens for her (DPC's fault)
2) she accepts it
3) she waits for someone to help her or for something to happen anyway

she does not choose, does not decide, she hopes that things will work out or that someone will fix them, she also faces the scavenger hunt with this spirit, someone will do something

yep, the constant damsel in distress.
