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

[Klopdwerg]

Here. I did not had time to name the tracks, but it is here. Tell me if you need some pointers.

** It is very possible due to several unstability problems on f95 lately, some of the tracks cannot be uploaded on this post.

EP 8 - Season 2 finale - BaDIK soundtrack

Speaking of Music in episode 8.
I think DPC did a very good job again at picking the right song(s) for the scenes. Just like before i instantly see the specific scene in front of me when i hear a song from this episode.
Not only most songs are great but also the lyrics are just beautiful and give more feeling to the specific scene ( yeah yeah i know i got chick affinity in rl as well and not ashamed of it )
So if you haven't done before i truly recommend to listen to the lyrics.

Few scenes which made u huge impact on me are:

Dancing with Maya at the dormparty: Diverse Music - Come.

Alone time with Maya during the party: Tangerine - Finally Arrived. Just gave me chills.

Dancing with Josy (truly beautifull and lovely scene): Diverse Music - You're easy to love. The look that Josy gives you... pure love

Sage telling MC she is adopted: Olive Musique - Your time will come. Made me shed a tear or two when MC tells Sage she made a huge difference for her parents as well.

The love scene with Jill: Tangerine - Back in my arms. nope, not just sex, this was pure love, damn that scene was perfect.
In the same scene also Origami Pigeon - I got all i need is played eventhough it's from the picnic scene which in my opinion suits great.

Bella bed scene: Origami Pigeon - We can't slow down. Actually from the night out with Tommy to MacAllen's bar but suits the scene well.

Bella the morning after just before Jill show up: Grace Mesa - Take the road.

Running through town to Jill: Dan Phillison - One last time. No lyrics but powerfull, the build of and tension... perfect for this scene

Arriving at the Dormparty: JAM Studio - Sit on the crown. Everytime a big smile on my face

As said i'm hanging towards the romance/emotional side of the story which in my opinion makes it great. Not just bang every hole that comes in front of you. And in every episode it were these kind of scenes with music that made a big impression. Hope DPC will keep doing a great job with putting the right music into the scenes.

You can have positive DIK score and CHICK or NEUTRAL affinity and vice versa. Are different things. Affinity depends of a small number of big decisions and score depends of a lot of little decisions.

Does positive and negative DIK score affect the gameplay as well like affinity?

It only packs a punch if you see this scene... with the chilling sound fx and seeing all the DIKs freeze that instant !

Yes. You get different scenes and dialogues according your DIK score.

*Finally after the 9th attempt I'm able to fucking reply..DAMN!*

that's fair enough, it's just my own opinion on it, but from the choices I've seen, all the DIK stuff, to me, is a not-so-very-nice-person route; the weed, the HOTs, the fake ID, etc. It's how I process it, and it's opinion based of course,, but from what I've seen, and how I translate it, it's not a good lifestyle or life outlook to have or be in.

People can say that being nice in real life is a bit boring. Billy Joel said it best: "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, sinners are much more fun, only the good die young."

Me personally, like I said, I bring my own views to the game, but from what I see, I see nothing redeeming about a hardcore DIK route. Could it lead to Quinn's redemption? Possibly, and that would be a good thing. It could lead the many good things towards the end of the game, and the destination may be better than the journey.

I for one, as a Permanent CHIK player, find much more joy in the things and in the route that I play, which we all know what it is. It's all about viewpoint, what each player, what each person, wants to enjoy. And my full-on Jill route may not be interesting to some (or most) but to me, it makes me feel good as a person that I made the right choices; her dinner party with her friends, the recital, talking Derek out of revenge, flushing the answer sheets, not taking the weed or fake ID.

Those are my personal choices and it's how I see the game. I never went away to college, so I don't have that view of campus college life, but I'm pretty damn sure I'd not do any of the DIK-type stuff in this game as I would IRL. Especially knowing there'd be consequences, and I wasn't raised that way.

I guess being older too makes my thinking to some seem alien. To me, all the DIK choices are "scumbag-y," that's just how I see it; Quinn's restaurant, the Pink Rose, the HOTs, cheating, weed, etc. It's not a path I'd ever want to be on, and in turn, it's not a path my MC will be on.

Like I said, completely personal opinion and point of view.

And being an ass in this game is no different than choosing Rena at the end of AL, because in my opinion, she has HOTs written all over her, as Ana did in my mind. To me, that was the asshole choice in AL; shooting Peter, or being with Leah or Rena, to me, those are bad DIK choices

I agree with you in part. and I try to explain myself.

I agree that a CHICKish run, but especially faithful to a single LI (but wanting also side girl) is rewarding. but actually weighs more fidelity than the clash between DIK and CHICK, only that there are some stakes that at least for LIs push us towards the CHICK side of the force.

while a CHICKish, but unfaithful path (after all, as a CHICK you don't have to renounce any LI), is of a hypocrisy that leaves one bewildered.

so it is not a question of affinity or CHICK choices that make the difference. the truth is that as a CHICK we can feel almost offended by the insults that we sometimes have to suffer if we have behaved well, but only if we have been truly exemplary.

I'll give you an example: when Bella asks us to be clear with Jill and explain to her that our relationship won't go on, if we've been good we're almost annoyed by Bella's (belated) concern, if we haven't we break out in a cold sweat...

You boys has hyped for Brawler 2.0 as this guy over here? I felt it was coming, now I can smell it coming. So fucking tasty, be the best fighter.

DIK Choice gonna be to fucking snap Calebs arm while chicky boys get their shit kicked in.

Well I justy finished my playthrough. What the hell am I supposed to do now?!

Um... post your opinion and theories in this thread for 6 months maybe

 

[foxz112x]

Yo bros
I am stuck at the third free roam event in ep 8 every time I click at the phone the game crashes
so I thought I can upload my save file and someone can do the tasks and upload it for me
thanks in advance
p.s it would be great if you replied to the roaster posts too

 

[Nesnah6130]

I wonder if there will be consequences if Mc creampies Jill. She is clearly not on pills

 

[Hahn1900]

Well the MC does know she's a Royce, after he dropped off Cathy at her house, he went back to Bella's and she let that secret out. Well, my MC knows it anyway

yeah i meant before that scene of course... but everyone know shes a royce, besides the MC until this very scene

Yeah that scene is one of my favorites.
Josy also has some real nice moments....just need to get rid of Maya and she would be on of the best LI's.

But let us rewind a bit, to that fateful encounter with Jill after she had shot Tybalt down in flames.

Yeah that laughing/happy Jill looks like a villian who's next words are ''let's kill some puppies''
But Jill has also some wholesome 'nice' laughing faces.

It's heartwarming that Josy and the MC have a good influence on Jill and she learns to enjoy the small things in life, like making fun of Tybalt.

Something I been wondering about since the next update is going to be the interlude to season 3 if I understand that right. The intro the episodes are pretty short so I hard time believing that the good DR would take the time for a 5 minute update. There would have to be a lot in that interlude for it to have its own update. I take it would have to do with Zoey (I think thats her name) the MC ex girlfriend or at least she would be apart of it. Or could it mean the first episode of season acts as a interlude and once we get pass the Halloween party things story wise start moving faster. Might be slow in asking just wondering.

 

[Hahn1900]

I wonder if there will be consequences if Mc creampies Jill. She is clearly not on pills

na not so early... but DPC cleary plays with this expectation, and during the game until the end of ep8 you can creampie nearly every girl... and whooops there is the pregnancy test in the cliffhanger. Yeah no coincidence in that part, thats for sure Of course none of the girls the MC is with, is pregnant now... DPC wants to play with our minds, and this topic was discussed so many times, i will not open up that again (its probably heather, ashley or a girl Stephen Burke has intercourse with)

Jill being pregnant is way to early. And i dont think there will be consequences this early, no matter which girl you are with. If iam correct, Jill is the only girl now without protection... (even maya said she has the pill now) this will be a topic in upcoming episodes, and i bet Jill will mention in a side-sentence that she went to the pharmancy, and thats it.

It almost has to be one of the side girls. I did my Jill run with 100% her and no other girls and didn't creampie her. You get that scene no matter what as part of the plot it seems.

yeah as i said, this topic was discussed so many times already... the overall consensus is a side-girl and of course not the child of the MC.

overall Favorites are Heather and Ashley around here or a girl Stephen Burke had sex with...

Heather for me

you cant go for jade if you decide to be with ANY of the girls... doesnt matter which one... only way to go for jade is the "others" route.
