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

[Zirael Q]

We weren't discussing what Maya did in Episode 1 but what Quinn did and those two things have no relation as to whether one is more valid than the other. You are leaving the subject and going to another. What Quinn did it's on her and what Maya did the same.

I blame Quinn for lying in the same way that I blame Maya for sexually assaulting the MC when he was sleeping. What Maya did is not acceptable. Nobody is saying that Maya did nothing wrong, that is a twist of words on your part and more if you take into account that we were discussing a different event with another character and you suddenly changed the focus of the discussion.

Another thing, we already know that Maya was not honest with the MC at first and she admits that at the end of Episode 4 in the library, asking the MC for his forgiveness for not letting him get close to her.
It is obvious that she has trust problems and that is why she asks the MC for honesty and little by little she tries to tell the MC although it takes a long time, until the truth comes out alone. I would say that it was more on DPC to have a dramatic effect.

She has a weird sense of trust, I'll give her that. Has trust issues but trusts the one who messed with her for an entire week to hold on to her "word", trusts her father's word that he'll come after saying it to Derek, who has tricked him into signing a document lets him fuck her life up. Interesting (!) gal she is.

I don't know who started this theme that DPC was showing Maya maturing, it sure wasn't DPC. Someone on this thread created a straw man and now people are kicking the shit out of it.

You want to see what DPC thinks about how Maya is handling shit:

Never saw that dialogue, how did you get there?

 

[shazba]

Never saw that dialogue, how did you get there?

That's if you choose to hang out with Josy rather than Maya or Quinn for the evening. They are chatting in Josy and Heather's room and then it leads to the Josy pool sex scene.

 

[rockreign]

You need to have CHICK affinity for that. No other way to get it

Thanks very much! It's worked.

Plenty of people out there that don't trust their own parents, I know I sure as shit don't trust either of mine. I know several other people that don't trust theirs. I also know people that do trust their parents. It's a world of almost 8 billion people, you really think there aren't many out there who don't trust their parents? That's naive if you think everyone does.

Okay, I am sorry I forgot that it differs on every region etc and I myself have many friends who don't trust their parents but in my country and many others, children do trust their parents at least till age of 20. Main point here was that till the age of 20 most of the people do trust their parents.

Spend about 12 weeks just in basic military training at that age (plenty of people across the world do). Your mentality, personality and character will change drastically. Spend a few months in college, studying hard or partying hard and your mentality, personality and character will be drastically changed at that age. Those are just two examples, i'm not going to waste my time bringing up more cause frankly, you're still being naive.

My boy you yourself said 12 weeks , I already understand that system , and a few months I understand that as well but In 1 month? NOT AT ALL, In just 1 month or less, no one can change. It takes at least minimum more than a month which u already pointed out. so what's next?

Yep. People really can learn at a fast pace if they're given the proper motivation, possess the necessary common sense and/or intelligence. Typically it's the dumbest of the dumb that fail to learn at a fast pace or the extremely lazy. I won't include the naive however cause they at least have a valid reason for their slower pace of learning. The former, sadly, stupid can't be fixed. The lazy? Well, that's self explanatory.

So was maya given the proper motivation? Again here I will say that not everyone tends to learn that fast. Some people ignore it like Tommy, Dawe etc, or some people do it for eg Mc is trying his best to not fuck up things anymore or some people wait for a miracle to happen for eg maya. By readig this statement, I am sure that your region and mine have different mentality.
Peace out

Just because you reach 18 years old doesn't mean that you are a complete adult with enough knowledge to fend for yourself or live. We don't all grow up in the same way or with the same education, there are many variants at stake and independence can reach in a younger age before even reaching adulthood or it can take longer even after adulthood. It differs according to the person and background.
You're simplifying the situation, nothing is as easy as it seems

If we assume that Maya's father was controlling her all her life to a certain extent, controlling her friendships, her hobbies, her attempts at independence, etc, that leaves a mark on many people and believing that it is as easy as "tell him to fuck off "is very naive, you don't get courage out of nowhere and especially against someone who has had power over you for so long.
Again this is a guess, we need more information on how her childhood was to get something more conclusive.

Nobody has forced the MC to help them or hang out with them and they are not playing with his emotions, adolescents generally don't know what they want or are not very clear about their emotions this is nothing new or strange.
It seems to me like you are asking too much, as if you expect them to be super responsible adults who can easily get around their emotions and know how to solve problems that arise easily.

"Nobody has forced the MC to help them or hang out with them and they are not playing with his emotions . . ."

Seriously? One thing that I've pointed out repeatedly, and no one has ever addressed satisfactorily, goes all the way back to episode 1. Josey and MC go on a date. Josey reveals to the MC that she is with someone else. MC does the right thing and says Farewell. It should have ended right there, but Josey chases after the departing MC, actually physically clings to him and demands that it's NOT over, that it's not Farewell. How is that not playing with his emotions?

Then in ep 5 we get this


In all of the heated forum arguments I've had with the M/J fan's, none have been honest enough to address what is obviously an example of Josey playing on the MC's emotions. There are other examples but why even bother to search them out and post them when I can't even get you guys to admit something so obvious as this.

 

[Hermith]

Main point here was that till the age of 20 most of the people do trust their parents.

Exactly, trusting your relatives and even more so your siblings and parents is pretty much the default... until they do something to make you lose that faith in them. That's why I never understood people shitting on Maya for both being that hurt by his own father and desperately clinging to the mc, I mean if you play that route the mc is pretty much a shining pillar of hope for her... both metaphorically and literally.

 

[DavDR]

OK so that's only on the M/J relationship path?

 

[shazba]

OK so that's only on the M/J relationship path?

Nope, the first time I saw that scene my was on a Sage path, I just chose Josy to see what would happen (and to see if I could steal her from Maya). It's the same minus the pool sex.

You say it like she's some evil bitch toying with him. She's just a young girl who's struggling with her own emotions and making mistakes. They are all mostly young people who are trying to work their way through relationships. It's a good time to learn. There are only a few in the mix who are actively trying to bring misery on others.

Is there a Dik Mansion renovation guide? I have a guide that only do the first one but is there any more after 1st one? Thanks.

Did you download the Excel guide? If so it is completed in seven turns, and each turn has a tab on the bottom. Click the tabs to change tables and follow the instructions.

Thanks, I must have missed that one. I'm still skeptical about the possibility of a Josey solo route though. It would be a wildly mercurial leap if she suddenly went solo after being so dammed passive at the beginning of ep 7.

I played my DIK route with the attempt to steal Josy away. It looked close a few times, but nothing came of it. Even if the mc kisses Josy at the HOTs party, and she was like, "Why did you do that!? Let's just forget it happened", in the logic, there's no record that it even happened (as in no flags are set for later use). Kinda disappointing.

It's a spectrum from DIK to Chick.

 

[Warscared]

Is this a fan art or a scene? I was on jill route, played everything right but didn't get this? If this is a scene , then How do get it?

its easy just be incompetent and forget to reply to Jill about booking your date and she will take matters into her own hands!

its her own special brand of martial arts "take wando" (stupid joke with the Korean martial arts of tae kwan do)!

Camila blowjob, i forget that one. Good call. I meant that, besides stealing, to steal panties is sexual harrasement.

By the way guys, this is the MC being raped by Maya for the seventh time. That woman is a monster:

View attachment 1193845

HEY WTF! leave camilla out of this! she was sucking the MC dick under duress! Once again rape may be induced from the situation but it only happens if the MC sexually assaults her by grabbing her ass! Furthermore as she is fallowing Q orders she is not morally responsible for the situation!

Bunch of rancid haters, do not bad mouth Camila or you are not gonna get her "good mouth"...

In what country? That's just theft of private property. Now, perhaps, depending on location there could be laws against him being a peeping tom for seeing them naked. But there would actually have to be intent in that regard and since they caught him, he only saw them naked by accident since he was there to steal their private property. Oh don't forget, they also made him strip and they stole his clothes too. I find the whole thing just blatantly stupid to be honest cause the story is so hilariously absurd that it reminds me of films like fast times at ridgemont high and revenge of the nerds.

so you mean the inspirational material for this game?

Yeah, what a insensitive person he is. Not realizing you are the only who should be in his head and Heart. He Still rejecting you ?Damn, everyone else would probably moved on by now, but a Tsundere likes you, you just cant. Respect

dude do as i do and just add him to your ignore list! i once tried to have an argument and he went into name calling and childish miss direction! when i pressed my argument and tried to make him answer a very easy and direct question that even a 8 year old could he went deeper into the childish name calling and miss direction refusing to answer!

if he is not mature enough to have a debate he is not mature enough to be taken into consideration! just ignore him and be happy! i did it with HB and it worked, my blood stress reduced immediately!

Why was Holly Bacchus banned?

he was stupid enough to be riled up into a stupid argument and refused to disengage on time! damn that fucker was stubborn! the topic of the argument i will not explain i do not want to be banned either!

I believe that about as much as i believe in the tooth fairy. There is zero chance that she didn't know what was going to happen. Her entire role was to distract the MC so quinn and company could get him to the dik's mansion. She likely knew exactly what was going to happen and lied her ass off just to escape the consequences since she does like the MC in the story. That's guilt for you. Her character is one i fully trust to be a dishonest cunt when it comes to accepting responsibility of any kind. Instead of dealing with her issues, she's trying to find shortcuts (like free tuition from the hots) and it's blowing up in her face constantly. That is a person that apparently does not learn from mistakes and that's a sinking ship much like the titanic. Eventually she's going to hit rock bottom with that sort of behavior without someone constantly there to prop her up. That makes her a sympathetic character to some extent but unless her choices start to drastically change for the better, the MC is going to effectively be her verbal punching bag, shoulder to cry on and financial crutch if players choose her route (just my opinion from personal experience with such people that her character reminds me of). Don't get me wrong, her character has some nice moments but they are not redeeming for poor decision making ability. Yes, story wise, her father can obviously be held responsible for not teaching her the necessary life lessons on how to be a responsible adult but at some point after about 18, a person has to grow up and start making their own decisions to move away from any past trauma rather than continue to allow it to reinforce ill behavior patterns.

do not take this as a wrong doing to you!

but

put

some

spaces

in!

walltexting is a sin and a crime against humanity and my eyes!

18 is not some magic number that once you reach your level up, like in a video game. Most people keep study after they 18. Most parents support their child and not kick them out once they reach a number. 18 is actually not adult, aside from legal term. and you don't have any life experience by 18. 18 is only beneficial for the porn industry

herm technically! Women biologically mature by the age of 16 and men only by the age of 18!

mentally and it depends a lot on the culture and other life experiences but women are mentally formed by the age of 18 and men by the age of 27 in average!

there is a very strong argument for imprisoning extremely aggressive males until the age of 27, the literature is very strong on this one! once again understanding is not agreeing with it! and as someone who was once one of those extremely aggressive males (lucky for me i had great role models ...) i can almost agree!

Don't forget the military, they like to get'em while they're still young too! I should know. That's the thing about making decisions at a young age as an adult though, sometimes we may not always make the best choices but if one does not learn from those choices for the better, they're going to constantly make the same mistakes in different ways over the course of their life. it's partly why i do not like maya's character, she has yet to learn anything meaningful from her mistakes and that is not a good indicator for her long term growth as a character. Obviously, DPC is going to write her character however he feels like doing it even if it ends up being absurdly written by the end and she somehow has a relatively decent conclusion to her part of the story. Personally, i hope she hits a wall and realizes how badly she's screwed up and either makes better choices or ends up in abject misery.

oh yes... when you are too young to drink but old enough to be sent on field trips and become a murderer! the military!

i still amaze myself on the backtracking that goes around to explain that invading a foreign country and destroying their infra structure can be considered a "defensive" action!

while the people defending their homes and families are considered the "offenders"!

I know he's a fairly new character, but I'm putting my money on Lucas. The poster has demonstrated fairly personal knowledge about Fruit Fucker's habits; For example, he knows where that watch was purchased. It's just a hunch that it's Lucas, but I like my odds.

in a part of the story its shown that that as been going on for a while now!

furthermore that kind of resentment takes some time to grow, and no i am not saying that tybs is not annoying enough to make you wanna hate him in such a fast pace but... Lucas just arrived! highly doubt its him!

also after the cathy panties incident i suspect it might actually be Bella! She as issues with Jade and Tybs is her "golden boy"... i wonder if that is also the reason why she disliked or distrusted Sage at the start also?

Anybody else experiencing a crash in the dialogue with Josy in your room in the DIK Mansion? specifically crashes on the line "So where do I go now?" always crashes for some reason

yes either delete the mod you are using or update it!

the game as built in anti cheat measures!

It's a spectrum from DIK to Chick.

i finished my post and noticed there was no Quote from you so... here it is!

 

[DavDR]

I've been considering doing a complete new playthru when the official guide comes out, but I just can't make myself start it again. I think I'm finally done with this game.

It's time for the first real status update for episode 8, and the development is ongoing.

This week, it's mostly been planning and writing. I've been writing a lot, as I've been in the zone.

I know what I want to fit into this episode, so I'm writing as much of the layout as possible to grasp the workload that lies ahead.

Episode 8 will be the episode that wraps up the second season, so I'm very excited about it and will do my best to do it justice.

Game crashes (v0.7.2)
I've been getting some reports about random "out of memory" crashes that I wanted to address. I hope the following information can help more players solve these issues.

If you're experiencing any "out of memory" crashes after patching the game to the latest version (v0.7.2), I would recommend that you delete the contents of the "game/cache" folder.

There are three ".rpyb" files there that you can safely delete. When you restart the game, the cache will be rebuilt, and this could solve your problem.

In the future, I will supply pre-built cache files with the patches.

Poll news
This week, I posted the first poll for episode 8, a cosmetic poll for Sage. Sign up as a $10 patron to participate in it

You must be registered to see the links

.

I have planned several fun polls for episode 8, and I have also decided to change how the special render polls are conducted to get more balance in the special render sets.

At the moment, some girls have three render sets, whereas others only have one, and I'd like this to even out for the sake of the game.

I will reveal the details about how the new polls will look like as they are posted.

Walkthrough news
I've written the walkthrough, and proofreading is underway. I will release it as soon as possible, at the latest next Friday, but likely earlier.



Have a nice weekend

I was hoping he would say the game was already 50% done. Wishful thinking I guess.....

I was visiting BaDIK page on VNDB and then saw this on image section. Anyone knows from which episode is it? I can't quite remember.
