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

I don't know, but I always thought that maybe Jill and Bella are a thing. Every time I play this game I'm thinking about this, hahaha.

a big trap...

feel free to check anyway

Well, that and the fact that the whole 'star-crossed lovers' vibe that comes up in a Jill & MC route is just cringe.

This is what makes me laugh about their plotline. They've known each other a whole 1 month. Their # of interactions can fit on your fingers. Am I really supposed to believe they're falling in love with each other after just having met each other a month ago in-game and a handful of interactions on top of the ridiculously dramatic blackmail that more or less necessitates them ghosting each other?

Im admittedly bias though and find it more humorous than I do sad. MC has a whole WNBA roster jumping from the freethrow line to get with him and he's willing to throw it all away for some rich chick he just met that he needs to jump through flaming hoops for just to communicate? Eh

Still MILKING ...over 6 months... Now ,,,

It isn’t milking when you are going to add substantial amounts of new content. I don’t know any individual or group that releases an equivalent amount of high quality content in a shorter period of time. Yes, some groups may release 3 updates in 6 months, but the Quality isn’t as good, they don’t have unique mechanics to keep things fresh. The art work and animations won’t be as good.

Does anyone have an example of games that adds 1) More Renders of equal or better quality 2) More animations of equal or better quality 3) More mechanics of equal or better quality 4) More story of equal or better quality in a shorter time frame?

The question is do you want 6 hours of mediocre content in 2 hour chunks every couple of months or 6 hours of high quality content every 6 (and a half) months?

This is what makes me laugh about their plotline. They've known each other a whole 1 month. Their # of interactions can fit on your fingers. Am I really supposed to believe they're falling in love with each other after just having met each other a month ago in-game and a handful of interactions on top of the ridiculously dramatic blackmail that more or less necessitates them ghosting each other?

On the rare occasions I’ve been in love it starts with an infatuation pretty early on. Yes this is a little ‘soap opera’ but as I’ve said before the whole game is a melodrama.

With 7500 pages in this thread, not sure whether this has really been discussed or not -- but I've got a theory that Agnes (from the nursing home) is the "beautiful" woman in the oil painting in the Prep mansion. My second theory is that if you keep choosing to go the nursing home and work with her, when she inevitably passes she'll leave the MC a large portion of her estate since her son is never around and she feels neglected. Her son is probably someone we're familiar with, but maybe not. (Burke, perhaps? Or, assuming this isn't Burke as well -- Sage's father? Jill's father?) Her son could also be someone we haven't met yet or was a throwaway / ancillary character up to this point. (Steve's Dad from Ep. 1, for example!) She also mentions to the MC that her son only wants her money and thus never visits or makes time for her, implying that she has a large amount of it.

My guess is that she'll pass away in Ep. 8 at some point (or I guess early S3, maybe Ep. 9), and it will be sad for the MC if he developed a relationship with her through the nursing home events. That being said, I think MC won't find out about the money until later. I feel like this is one of those branching story paths that feels like a nothing background plot point right now, but could have effects on the late game.

Any other thoughts on Agnes?

 

[Antoninus]

Any information on the release date?

 

[Ankhesenamun]

Ok but who's going to die horribly in an house fire and who has terminal cancer?

 

[CHAD-MAN]

Any other thoughts on Agnes?

She's definetly more than meets the eye, I am sure. Although, lately I've been wondering if DPC wants to do less Maya & Josy reveals and less of a its all connect type of storyline, like the way Jill's sister was revealed to us when there were massive theories she was the MC's mom. Not gonna lie, I never believed that but with all the talk it sure built a bit of antecipation.

So Agnes might just be that, an old lady on a old people's house. Or...

I like this idea. I’ll just throw a what if? on top. What if she is the MCs Mum’s grandmother so the great grand mother of MC. So neither of them know while she is alive that they are related. It ties in to MCs grandfather being a shit heel who didn’t want his Dad and Mom to be together.

Now to throw some water on the idea. I’m not sure we’ll get another inheritance. It’s already been done once, would be kind of strange to do it again.

For sure! I think I also saw a small variation on your what if that she's not blood-related to Lynette, but was possibly a housekeeper or something. Either way, I think that's definitely a possibility that she's connected to Lynette as well. If she's connected to Lynette as opposed to my original theory it might be a good way to possible further reconcile the MC with his grandfather after she passes. As someone else said above -- she also could just be an old lady in a nursing home, but........ we'll see.

Lol if that had to happen it's obvious that you'd have to choose between Maya and Josey..and as someone who's on both their routes I can't say it'll be an easy choice.. As for the cancer obviously Derek lol, he's MCs closest friend

 

[RyogoTM]

With 7500 pages in this thread, not sure whether this has really been discussed or not --

It's was briefly discussed:

I'll bite. Here's a really stupid one:

The old lady the MC entertains is really Stephen Burke's mom, whom he cold-heartedly confined there. MC will befriend her further on the DIK's next visit, and she will change her will accordingly.

"And to my friend and companion Fuckface, I bequeath the bulk of my estate..."

If anything, DPC should actually hire a real writer. The story is good, but some of the story lines are laughable... like the blackmail.

I agree with that to some degree

I would say DPC gave a think plot armor for MC instead lol (well it's the MC and I think he deserves one... that is, within reason). But seriously, how long did Jill and Tibby knew each other? Around 2 years I presume. And how long did Jill and MC knew each other? A month in game time.

Yeah yeah we all know Tibby is just a pile of diarrhea, but he had been wooing Jill for like 2 years, and Jill is prolly too naïve to see through the facet of Tibby. To her, ,Tibby is just an "overprotective friend", who is trying to win her over. Just like a 1200m track race, Tibby is already 800m ahead of MC. Although Bella might have been putting up obstacles whenever she found the opportunity, I can hardly see it is possible for MC to 3 strike Tibby within this short time frame.

IF Jill could turn 180' over and flip over the 2yr friendship (prolly more) between she and Tibby within a month, it would only prove she wasn't that loyal that she appeared to be and would raise a HUGH red flag for me... Hell... this version of Jill would prolly be a protagonist lol.

Jill may appear to be stubborn and too trusting toward Tibby, but that's what you get from a character, who is both loyal and naïve at the same time.

It should be obvious but most of what MC knows about Tybalt was learnt while breaking into the Prep's mansion so telling Jill what he's discovered only the melon fucking panty sniffer look more trustworthy, ie. supports his (Tybalt's) claims about MC without proving his (MC's) claims.

Until MC finds a way to show Jill who Tybalt really is without incriminating himself this will continue

Do you think hoping that Jill alone will see what kind of person Tybalt is is being overly optimistic?

Every time Tybalt speaks, he either insults those who he thinks are lower class than him (which he himself does not belong to) or extols what he has and how much he spends.
Bella and MC, the only people Jill has to deal with, have a very bad opinion of him.

It must be the hymen blocking her reasoning.

What I'm saying is that MC can't just come out and say, for example, that Tybalt went into her room, sniffed then stole her panties because Jill would want to know how he knew and his explaination would make MC look bad. Similar with Melonie later on which, incidently, we saw but MC may not have due to his attention being elsewhere.

I also think it's not too much of a stretch to imagine that Jill has been around people like Tybalt all her life so his behaviour doesn't stand out to her the way it does to MC and Bella (and Sally)

This. Honestly it was a good paradox plot by DPC. He knew Tybalt is a massive perv but can't tell Jill because he was breaking into her mansion wearing only balaclava & underwear. Let's hope the resolution isn't something stupid.

MC and Derek 'borrow' the drone again and moniter Tybalt's window until they see him with Melonie then quickly call Jill and tell her she needs to go to Tibbles' room
