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

[Arigon]

You know what I've been thinking lately, WHY is Jill living in a frat house?
Her family has clearly 'fuck it all' money, that mansion plus fields confirms it.
So why is she living in a communal building, even if it's posh and upscale? She could easily have a house bought/ rented for her near the B&R campus, with a single housekeeper to boot.

The more I think, the less sense it makes for her to live in that house.

Probably they (Royce) own it (the house). Rusty's dad bought the DIK house so possibly, since they own it, they require she has a room, and the piano room, and whatever else she wants.

Jill was really a late addition? it seemed like she it was planned from the start

Sort of, she was added later in development, but before the release of v0.1:

I continued to plan and outline the story. When doing so I came to the conclusion that I need another romanceable character, so I created her. Her name is Jill and I will wait to reveal her design until Episode 1 is close to launch. But I'm fairly positive that the majority of you will like her a lot.

Jill was in the New Years 2019 N7 posted a couple of days later.

Jill is the sixteenth wallpaper in the 10,000 patrons wallpaper series.

Only three wallpapers remain in the series, with no group shots.

Enjoy!

Jill the goddess still most beautiful of all
thanks N7

A small detail. Is DPC trying to tell us something?

The picture is from Josy/Maya/MC Dreier.

Zactly!
Jill was added last...and frankly I could have done without her. I would rather he had changed Quinn up a bit to be less Gaz like so he could use her as a LI

Quinn cannot be an LI. She represents the absolute DIK path and in the end makes sure that MC will lose every LI if you go the DIK PATH to the end.

But at the end of the DIK path Quinn could be waiting for MC.

This could mean that DPC planned BaDIK with originally 4 LI's.
Perhaps this time DPC is planning an ending with a polygamy relationship and has therefore included Jill as a LI because he sees Josy and Maya as one LI for the story.

In Acting Lessons, was Ana an official Love Interest?

Were LIs even as explicitly defined as they are in BaDIK?

Point being, even if Quinn isn't a love interest, does it mean the MC therefore cannot have any kind of future with her?

My expectations of this game are that there probably isn't a long term future with a lot of the LIs (Jill and Sage will be out of the MC's life soon enough, unless they make the effort not to be, and Bella...). So while not long term, the MC could still end up in a relationship with Quinn until she graduates and moves on too.

That makes much more sense

 

[Raptus Puellae]

no they weren't. Rena was seen at first as nothing more than an antagonist. and even Liam had his chapter recap.

if we apply the CHICK/DIK score to Acting Lessons... Leah was a chick LI till she went nuts. so perhaps there will be a path where MC brngs back Quinn from the darkness... while Quinn will always be a bit of an ashole, she has her lovable moments. and she was the first in-game (zoe was a flashback so it doesn't count) to touch MC's pp

I gotcha, it's from within the game. I hope that's just a throwaway joke and not foreshadowing any future soul crushing revelation.

Yeah, I'd prefer it if the game didn't spell out who are and who are not the LIs, but I guess with a character count as large as BaDIK, that could lead to a lot of people being disappointed when they find out there's no future with their chosen one. Or else it'd result in a fuck load of work for the dev to build significant relationships with every single character - whereas AL had such a small cast it wasn't such a big deal.

 

[Raptus Puellae]

But I think that Zoey will still be important for the story.

If she meets MC, all the cards could be newly shuffled again, since MC himself said at the departure of Zoey, that it was perhaps love. And the Tattoo of Zoey implies that when she left, her heart was not ready. Maybe it is later in the story.

would be funny if Zoey walked on MC balls deep in Jade... that would be an interesting development.

Yes, it's called breaking the 4th wall. DPC kindly tell the incest lovers to fuck off

I personally wouldn't care if the Pope walked in if I was balls deep in Jade, I would just tell him to wait his turn.

I kinda get the impression with Zoe that there'd be no "turns", she'd just join in.

or and I keep repeating myself Lynette will be exhumated.

 

[ChipLecsap]

Or that there are familial connections that are revealed in story.

there is no "or".

 

[lolgotem]

Or that there are familial connections that are revealed in story.

I dont think incest is allowed on Patreon's platform and I don't believe DPC is willing to fumble the bag just to include it.

Could just be a tradition thing for her family. Even if she isn't part of the preps, its a status symbol for a Royce to be staying there. She is pretty heavily associated with the preps.

I think that it is a bit of that, but also that a ‘Royce’ wouldn’t be slumming in the dorms, at least her Daddy wouldn’t let her. Since there is a mansion on campus I can imagine her Dad insisting she stay there, Especially if he doesn’t have a son to participate in the traditions. (Yes it is also a plot contrivance.

I see Quinn as the 6th love interest, but I think She may end up dead, or hurt or in prison. It could be she is secretly the ‘true’ LI who is meant to be saved by the MC. We’ll know in 2-4 years lol.

As I mentioned before I’ve been playing through to get a ‘Sage’ path where I don’t have any of the others on the go and it’s pretty clear to me the game wants you to have several going at once. I presume this is for the heartbreak scene later on where you have to choose. I do wish there was a conversation where you could say I like you but not romantically (like with Josy and Maya).

I have the feeling Jill doesn't get along with her family, and staying at the prep house is as much "royce prestige" as she agreed to,

anyone friendzoning Sage is not right in the head.

I think that's what Jill said to the MC.

Jill is one of a number of honored female guest staying at the prep frat. It makes sense that girls from wealthy families might be invited to stay there. Her conversation with Rust in the Episode 5 Prologue:

Rusty: "Hey, you!"​

Jill: "Me?"​

Rusty: "Yeah!"​

Rusty: "Wow... Are you a member here?"​

Jill: "You're asking if I'm part of the Alpha Nu Omega fraternity?"​

Rusty: "Most students living here seem to be dudes..."​

Rusty: "I've seen a couple of chicks and now that I spotted you, I had to ask."​

Jill: "Oh. Well, I'm not a member."​

Jill: "It's indeed a fraternity, but there are a few honored female guests living here, such as myself."​

Rusty: "That's cool! I like that."​

I got the impression that Jill has no problem with her immediate family, only her relatives. After the tennis date:

mc: "What about your family? Is it a big one?"​

Jill: "No, it's not big. It's just me and my mom and dad."​

Jill: "I had an older sister, but she passed away when I was young."​

mc: "I'm sorry..."​

mc: "And I know saying I'm sorry doesn't do anything for you."​

Jill: "I don't choose to talk about her so much."​

Jill: "I have my memories and mementos of her. That's what I need."​

Jill: "She gives me strength daily and thinking about her, these days, only makes me happy and motivated."​

mc: "I'm glad to hear that."​

Jill: "I do have a fair share of relatives, but we aren't that close and I don't consider them family."​

Jill: "I'd say it's for appearances only."​

She doesn't like her relatives, and doesn't even consider them family. But when she says, "It's just me and my mom and dad." She sounds happy enough.

So my guess is her staying at the prep mansion is just the thing that is done for rich girls.

 

[shazba]

But I wonder why Rusty wasn't allowed to stay. He is a Burgermeister and should have the same prestige as a Royce.

Maybe there was a fight between the two families that we don't know about yet?

Guys would have to pledge, it's a fraternity after all. Inviting girls makes sense though, make it feel more mature. Rusty got on the wrong side of Tybalt immediately. He was literally trying to take over before he was even accepted. Tybalt got either annoyed or felt threatened and lied to him that there were no vacancies. Rusty would have hated it there anyway.
