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

[Alfagrem]

Just gonna throw this out there because...why the hell not? Wild theories and speculations are what we do around here.

Perhaps this isn't a game of DnG, but a dream sequence of the MC's that will open up ep 6. The 3 LIs here are the ones that have been the most "forced" upon the players and the ones whose romantic relationships progressed the furthest seeing as how you didn't have much choice to not progress with them. So perhaps this is a dream that will respresent some sort of inner conflict/resolution of the MC regarding these 3 and the setting of the dream is the DnG world.

The reason why I'm not so sure of it being an actual game is because it's difficult to see how these characters - Jill, Josy, Maya, the MC, and the Nerds - would end up interacting with each other, especially if the MC isn't in a relationship with M&J. I suppose they could all happen to be in the library at the same time, but it feels a bit unlikely at the moment.

Also, if it's a dream, we could get a pretty nice orgy, Sally included, that we won't otherwise get in the game's real world.

I do hope we start getting some chances to skip some Jill scenes as constantly being forced into the tedium that is Jill is a little grating.

I have a theory that Bella's hiding an alien in her locked room for her husband who works at Area 51, doesn't matter what you tell me I can think that no matter how little sense it makes.


obvious sarcasm btw

Jokes on you, I approve of that theory 100%. You don't want to know what kind of shit I'm into.

True, but dream sequences can also give an insight into the protagonist's psyche by expressing their conscious and subconscious thoughts in the form of a fantasy scenario. There's a whole field of psychology devoted to analysing dreams, so for the MC to possibly have a dream involving 3 of the most prominent characters that gives some insight into his line of thinking at this point isn't exactly a far-fetched possibility.

I really hope it isn’t a dream as I don’t want a fantasy scenario enforced for three characters i’ve avoided romantically as much as possible.

 

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

Chill, my guy. It's just a theory, no need to get worked up over it if you don't think it's plausible.

A GAME THEO***cough*cough*

And why would a dream sequence not make sense? The MC has already had 2 of them, why is not a possibility that this is also one?



Neutral, DIK, and CHICK are both statuses and affinities.

Dreams are a way of putting more content early on. No need for that now. I'd rather have scenes with the real characters and not D&G's characters, unless it leads to BADIK development for the characters, like I flirt with your character so I lowkey am flirting with you.

I think the first sex scene with Jill is Missionary while Kissing or riding while looking each other in the eyes

Spoiler: Jill future sex

DAMN IT that last one... I never saw that one before.... I always go with Bella ><

 

[fridgehog]

Not being able to change the volume before the intro (it's really loud!)??. Seriously not cool.
Seems like an obvious oversight.

Never had this issue with Acting Lessons so can only assume it's deliberate?

You're right, it's not as if MC has played DnG at the Library with the nerds and Jill in game before irl, and is simply playing it again with Maya & Josy this time around. Clearly that doesn't make any sense nor would it be the logical conclusion to make based off preview pic.

I just want a sex scene with Bella before 2020 is over

 

[Cokebaths]

Bella's first sex scene is going to be her fucking her long lost husband.

You mean the husband whose dead body is currently decomposing in that locked room of hers? I don't think our dear Bella is a necrophiliac

A dream scenario would be a wasted opportunity. We can get an insight into MC's psyche just as easily with one of his inner monologues.
More importantly, why would he dream about D&G in the first place?

Well, if it were, it could probably go either way; if you're with all 3 or just M&J then it could highlight his inner conflict and uncertainty about how to handle these relationships, and if you're not with any of them it could show that he's at peace with it and ready to move on.

Not necessarily. The MC's been through quite a lot these last couple of weeks and dreams are often an expression of conscious and subconscious thoughts and feelings related to what's going on in your life. So the MC possibly having a dream at this stage could be something that either provides closure or makes them question certain things.

Because it's a convenient setting, I guess. The mind's a funny thing.

Stay with Jill practicing yoga and go to Isabella for the sauna scene

Agreed. 2020 desperately needs something good to happen.

I don't even think Sage is a slut, actually. I think it's a facade she puts on because she thinks that, as a "hot chick", that's the way she's supposed to be. But what little we know of her actual history, she's had a steady boyfriend for years who she seems to legitimately dote on (or did, at one point), and her one known attempt at having a simple "fuck buddy" has already shown signs of catching feelings despite it being mere days since they agreed on it. Basically, I think Sage is more of a tease than an actual slut; sexually liberal, sure, but only if she lets you in, and even then she doesn't seem to separate sex from emotions all that well.

Of course, I could be completely wrong about all of this, depending on what else we find out about her and her history, but that's my read on it 5 episodes in.

ok, but HOTs tend to have this "sluttish" attitude, they tend to be very denied, then each one will have her own character

I think we'll meet Sage too, during the DnG game. There was a preview of Sage in a refined black dress (not her style at all in "real" life) lying on a bed that totally looked medieval/Renaissance style (and actually I saw the same bed style in a fantasy/medieval visual novel, I don't remember which one now). I told you it was a preview of DnG, at the time. Now I'm even more sure.

happy for Sally

but it seemed to me a further waste of time

and there are so many things to tell, to get lost in digressions

 

[SPACE_BOOOOOST]

Especially given his first night at college he dreams about one of the teachers...

Tbf those dreams were there most likely to include some lewd content early on without having to rush a scene with a LI. A lot of VNs have these in the first update or two.

Having Sage be there would make the dream sequence more likely. I can see the other three getting drawn into a game but Sage would be pretty unlikely.



Looks more like a formal gown than a D&G outfit to me though.

 

[xsssssssss]

Maybe diks have cottoned on and are suspicious about the evil nerds and the MC is under orders to try and learn as much about them as possible.
