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

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

Agree to disagree. If we talking ass, what about Camilla? Quinn? (Especially visible if you stay for the movie night with Sage).
Tits? Sage

It's a common thing with LIs, except maybe Jill. All of them have a high hip to waist ratio, it feels weird. Side girls have more realistic proportions

And skinny women are real too...

The problem with the story is that what DPC had in mind when the game started and what he does now is different. I mean, he tried to play safe and went by reference what he did on Acting Lessons and gave us a threeway love story. The game begins with the concept where the other one ended and expanded. Now that the game successfully matured into something of its own, it should give us the options such as keeping either Maya or Josy, keep the three-way thing or none of them at all. Both Josy and Maya are less important to the game story, that we don't need both of them at this point.

Well, maybe I missed it because I don't have time to read every post, but what evidence do you have that DPC has changed his mind on how this all goes? Back when he was still around he was very adamant that he had his overall story all planned out before even the first episode and will not change the major plot points to appease anybody.

Also, what makes you think you cannot pursue Maya or Josy independently now? Or none at all? If you had rejected a 3-way relationship with M&J near the end of Ep4, the options during the fridge conversation with Derek in Ep5 is basically a huge blinking neon sign saying "pick Maya, Josy, or neither". So there are ways to go down all 4 possibilities of M+J, just Maya, just Josy, and neither.

The game starts with off the bat like acting lessons with that three-way love story. Why not make one of them a side girl like any other?

Also, what makes you think you cannot pursue Maya or Josy independently now?

As of episode 5, you cannot dismiss one of them separately, either you take both or none. Which is what i was talking about, it was best if we were able to make a choice to end the route with one of them. Merely telling Derek whom you like more doesn't change anything. This is a story telling game, not an arcade one.

They did have the entire episode 5 centered on that issue, man. What else were girls doing in the prep's mansion?

 

[Toncsy]

someone please send me full rewards(special renders) savegame.

 

[phill_leotardo]

Do you even get the relationship? End the route with 'one' of them? They are together, they accept you...not the other way around (for now at least until plot drama splits them apart on a branch path)

oh man, please read the conversation from the beginning. They were not together prior to episode 4. The relationship was unstable, until the last momments of said episode thats just to correct you. Im not even discussing how the relationships are. Im talking about at some point choosing between of one of them, because honestly to me the time is ripe.

 

[Cabin Fever]

Because neither one is supposed to be a side girl as per DPC's plan all along.

Which is what i was talking about, it was best if we were able to make a choice to end the route with one of them. Merely telling Derek whom you like more doesn't change anything. This is a story telling game, not an arcade one.

So what? Is Ep5 the end of the game? I've already included the exact point in the story where a flag is set for MC's choice of Maya/Josy/neither. Just because the payoff doesn't happen immediately, it doesn't mean it won't happen. If anything, all signs point to it happening, including individual conversations with either Maya or Josy slightly earlier during the episode.

At the very momment i refuted you as that doesn't even make sense. Imagine with a simple conversation with Derek, you just kill the entire story build, hahahahahahahahahaha.

And will you please give it a rest. We get it, you don't like them.

They 'are' in a relationship...whether you like it or not however unstable it 'may have' been prior to Josy coming to B&R.

YOU are the outsider....the third wheel. The whole decision is whether they accept you into 'their' relationship or not. Give it up man.

 

[LaYxOn84]

bought it on steam, awesome game, really well done and inmersive, waiting for the second part to buy it, I cannot afford patreon but if its on steam again I´ll buy it for sure. Also a recommend "acting lessons" from the same creator, the story is extremely GOOD!

Story wise, you'd be correct, if it wasn't for them being attached to THE MAIN CHARACTER and being the MAIN LOVE interests. Which is exactly what i was criticising, this take two or take none needs to end.

 

[LazerShark]

Who do you think is behind Tybalt's troll cluck account? My bet is on Bella. In the outside world, around others, she's a silent, reserved, and mysterious woman, but behind the screen, when nobody's around, she turns into a brutal, cold-blooded, and relentless keyboard warrior.
If it's not her it's probably Rich, he looks like a dick and probably the kind of guy who would do this sort of shit. I also have some theories that it might be Ron, Steve, Stanley, or that guy with the man bun at the Alpha Nu Omega party.

I have no idea what you you mean by that but it's obvious we see the exact same thing as 2 very different things. There's no point continuing this on. I'm out.

There is no relevant and final decision as of episode 5 to decide between Maya and Josy, period. Good bye.

My thoughts exactly. This dude is confusing the fuck out of me.
Or maybe I just need more caffeine in my system...

They are clearly are introduced as being the main love interests whether you're intruding their relationship or not, it doesnt even matter. I think the MC should be able to part ways with one of them, but apparently that is challenging to say given that you are grip-hoding on the idea that you are an uninvited guest and thats the end of it, i beg to difer.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

I have many doubts as to whether an exclusive relationship with Maya or Josy can be achieved only outside the "more than friendship" pact, or even from there further on

As has been shown by Cabin Fever, there is a choice to tell Derek whether you still have feelings for one or the other if you are rejected by them, and this has a variable attached to it which wil undoubtedly be recalled later on. So there's definitely a chance as there's always the possibility that their relationship implodes again and one or both will come running back to the MC and they will then have the choice to choose which one they want then, maybe even have another go at the throuple if they (M&J) feel that they made a mistake not accepting him before and that they're better off with him than without.

I think their feelings for the MC could be the reason why they might break up/have difficulties if they're not in the throuple because in that scenario, they both do want to be with him but they're each too afraid to admit it in case they hurt the other person's feelings. So this could cause friction between them and ultimately lead one or both back to him.

The problem with the story is that what DPC had in mind when the game started and what he does now is different. I mean, he tried to play safe and went by reference what he did on Acting Lessons and gave us a threeway love story. The game begins with the concept where the other one ended and expanded.

Both Josy and Maya are less important to the game story, that we don't need both of them at this point.

M&J are a package deal right now because they are in a relationship with each other. Even when the MC was doing things with them individually, they were still in a relationship because they hadn't formally broken up, and in ep 4 they renew their relationship with each other. So it would be kind of a dick move by the MC to be like, "nah, I just want Maya, so I want you to break up with Josy so we can be together".

There will be a reason for this and it's importance to the story has yet to be seen, so it's either both or none at this point and we all just have to accept that.

I'm not saying the MC should go 'Listen, i don't like you good bye girl, pack your shit', story wise, i'd be happy if the story was built to a point in the near future where something happened and we had the choice to keep just one of them. It feels forced to me to be with them both lol.

But according to the monothread experts, you're intruding and thats the end of it, such story cant be happen, maybe im way to narrow minded, i guess.

I can see that being a possibility, but Quinn isn't needing money because she has a drug addiction, she needs it to pay the dealers that she gets the drugs from that she supplies on campus because she's coming up short on the payments to them.

[AGREED]

She wouldn't, probably because she naively wouldn't think it would be in a wall safe. She might have thought she'd find it in a lock box that she could carry out of the mansion or even break open and take what she needed from it.

Then again, maybe she was able to get the combination out of Tommy when he was wasted on drugs but ended up not having as much time as she thought to get it open.

[Or uses the distraction to place a small camera in Rusty's room - if that is where the safe is - to hopefully record the combination?]
