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

[crunchycake]

I did a quick search for the board, and couldn't find any mention of the release date for the Interlude chapter in Steam. Did I miss something or just simply haven't been mentioned yet?

After trying to rush the story with the... well... generosity copy from this site for the season 2 and completed all 5 major branches of the story. THEN had to run 5 more times again in my steam version when it was released for the cloud saves and trophies. I refuse to do such thing again lol. Don't get me wrong, I love this game, but it eventually becomes a little bit tedious after my 8th run. So I think I'd better wait for the steam release and avoid this forum with all those potential spoiler for now... but the wait is a little itchy at this moment so to speak.

Slow and steady win the race.

Because she was there for him when he needed it. The deal with Derek was one night, and yet she allowed him to stay as long as he needed.
Obviously she has problems and and is slow to trust others.
But someone you can call a friend is someone you love even being aware of his/her shortcomings and I don't think you can call anybody a friend before that.

So, Maya gave the MC something she doesn't even own and that's why he should carry her burden's for all of eternity? Nah, I don't buy it.

So? Because of Japanese atrocities in WW2, it's been forever co-opted into a symbol of genocide, slavery, and oppression.

And it should NEVER be used again, in any form.

You are aware that Japan never gave up on it? It was their military flag and it still is.

 

[vogelbeest]

But I will ask you a question that I've asked everyone on this forum and never received an adequate answer for. Why would the MC consider Maya as a friend?

Why not? I mean friendship can have many forms and many reasons. It usually just starts with being friendly to each other and overtime a simple acquaintance can grow to be more and people can become friends. It's life, friendship and love don't need reasons to work if both people involved decide to value that relation and treat each other right.
If such a basic thing can't be explained to you, i think there's more important questions for you to ask then BaDik relations.

You'll have to wait for some time then ... iirc Steam only release complete seasons, 4 episodes per season, at least 6 months per update, knowing the interlude isn't a real episode but an ... well, Interlude ...

They are found in gui.rpa.
After that file is extracted using UnRen, they can be found in the game/images/gui/report folder.

Thank you

>co-opted into
By a bunch of idiots who have a simple minded thought process. Like I said, it's no worse than the Union Jack.

You are aware that Japan never gave up on it? It was their military flag and it still is.

I'm hoping the guy is at least Korean if he's being this drastic about it.

I know you're a Sage fan, and that's a good thing. I personally like Sage very much.

But I see Sage more as a good friend of the MC. Zoey is a good example of what happens when the boundaries of friendship and love overlap.

If friendship turns into love, that's great, but if love ends, you usually lose a friend too. Double loss, double grief.

Zoey and the MC are given a chance because Zoey has been in San Diego for about a year, creating the necessary distance. Both continue to develop separately from each other and learn new things. So Zoey and the MC have a chance to get to know each other again. But are the MC and Zoey doing it right now? Either love or friendship, that is the question here.

This is exactly where I see paralells of Sage and Zoey. Will the MC be Sage's fuckbuddy and make the same mistake he did with Zoey? I think if the MC (player) is seriously interested in Sage, the MC should not become the fuckbuddy, but wait for his chance in EP7.

But that's just my view of things.

You’re equating love and sex to some degree here.

Sage made it clear she can (and does) separate the two. Yeah, that eventually changes after the MC pushes for it but until he throws his toys out the pram she only ever saw him as a friend she fucked.

I agree with your views on this as a general rule but in this specific situation Sage seems to be able to separate the two and even if you end things in Ep8 she at least appears to respect your decision and stays your friend.

This is assuming we take Sage at face value. I’ve always had an issue with her “fuckbuddies” thing because she’s waaaay more affectionate than just a friend. Her words and actions don’t always line up outside of the Ep8 ending.

For Sage MC is clearly more than a friend and perhaps she is already in love with him, but does not understand it. The relationship between MС and Zoey is really very similar to the relationship between MС and Sage, with the only difference that MС and Sage started dating.

You correctly said that Sage knows how to separate feelings and just sex, but gradually it gets more complicated, which you can see if you follow the path of Sage. Starting with the fact that it was MС she called after break up with Chad and that it was Tremolo who Sage allowed to take care of herself when she got sick.

At the end of Сrossroads, Sage is sincerely glad that the MC asked her to date. It feels like she was waiting for this, but was afraid to take the first step for fear of losing her friendship with MС. For her, such a relationship is new, which can be seen from her SMS messages. Well, the most obvious proof is that Sage agrees to wait for MС even if he is dating other girls.

I would like the DPC to pay more attention to Sage's transition from fack buddy to a full-fledged relationship or at least feelings, because even in the University of Problems it is shown better than in this game.

When will season 3 be released to everyone?

2024 !

There is a chance that they can become friends again.

Ofc there is... but friends again ??? When did they actually stop being friends ? They stopped seeing each other ( many ways ) hence if we want to put it that way like " friends again " then it won't be THAT kind of friends anymore

 

[sixart]

When they had no more contact. They didn't even talk on the phone anymore. There will be no more friendship+, I think. Making the same mistake three times when I include Sage's fuckbuddy would be pretty stupid.

Indeed it would ! Which means it's an absolute certainty !!! But when people ( friends ) don't have contact that doesn't mean they are not friends anymore... they just lost touch !

 

[sixart]

But considering how they lost contact, I would guess their friendship more than suffered. The MC told Maya that it ended badly and friends talk on the phone, which Zoey and the MC didn't do until the end of Interlude.

Zoey actually makes the first move on the MC. I don't think the MC would have made the first move.

Yes that's what I insinuate with they won't be THAT kinda friends again... ( or maybe some shoehorned run would end up again with Zoey )

 

[Speedfeed]

did the female protag tag get recently added? seeing that tag and the lesbian tag makes me think you can control a female character and have relations with other females.

only the interlude has the female protagonist for now, the rest of the story had a male protagonist and the main story should stay that way

What a shame

The fact that mc just made an important relationship decision doesn't help with Zoey popularity.
Around 70 percent player like sage and Jill. 10 percent like bella and the remaining players either like other Li or play a dik path with no commitment.

 

[Cabin Fever]

With this picture I always ask myself, what the hell is Arieth doing here?

Somehow I always think that she is eavesdropping on the MC and when he is talking to Isabella she goes around the corner to avoid being discovered.

View attachment 1710561

It's been a long while since I played that scene but I don't recall Arieth being in that scene at all?

 

[sixart]

Maybe it's Beth, too?

It's the cafeteria worker or some rando... if the cafeteria workers name is Beth then YAY ! if not then doom and gloom NOT !
