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

[dalli_x]

I think that the confrontation with Chad has exhausted itself and there is no need to be enemies with him in the future, especially since he have nothing against Tremolo. I'm prefer act neutral to him. The only thing I did was tell JoJo and Sage about his gayness and I'm interested to see the result. Since I'm not a homophobic person, I won't make fun of him for being gay. But I wonder how others will react. That's why I planted Josy bomb. She have a long tongue.
And whatever the Chad motivation was, he did a very bad thing to Sage, using her as a beard. This is the act of a complete bastard. She loved him and considered him as her boyfriend. Remember how burned out she was in the sixth episode. I don't know if I want a redemption arc for Chad. I definitely want justice for Sage.

The MC even has to tell Josy about it, because otherwise he won't find out about the beard agreement. And why? Tybalt is gay and that's why he blackmailed Jill. Not only because the MC was interested in Jill, but also because Josy was going to stand in for Tybalt as Beard, but then broke the agreement because of the MC. Peggy took over that role.

How did I come up with that? The silver bracelet and the fact that Tybalt and Josy knew each other. Josy only wore the bracelet once in EP4. There she also tells the MC that she sealed her fate with it. After that, Peggy is seen wearing this bracelet a few more times. As a companion you can also earn money and Tybalt can afford it.

The MC will eventually learn that Josy was Tybalt's beard for a short time.

Well he could also simply be very agitated, he would still be facing a person he does not know but from whom he has a lot to ask

Also think so but this would be a very different facial expression. The one from the pic is more devastated, such as having sorrow about a beloved one (no need to only be family).

Is at any point that the MC is Bisexual?

With all the limitations of interpreting one render, to me mc does not look devastated, worried, guilty, scared but not devastated.

If he were really that shaken Jill would give him a hug

The MC is a snowflake

As I always write. Prepare for the worst and be positively surprised by the opposite.

I do prepare for the worst. I am just still waiting for the "be positively surprised by the opposite" part. When does that arrive?

Bunch of posts about Chad. I had him categorized as a standard neanderthal asshole until his motivations were shown. He doesnt do shit for petty evil reasons like Dawe, he does it to protect himself and his love from a potentially life altering bad situation.

It still makes him a selfish person but so are most people, taking the easy route they know. Why buck the status quo when he can hide and skate around it. In a year or whatever, he and Troy will graduate and he doesn't need to think about ANY of these people again. Its VERY human, good writing so i like him for that reason as a character. There is no positives in taking the high road for him. Backed into a corner of having to hate what he is and hurt others.

Its not wrong to think he is a piece of shit. I dont know if I want to be that harsh yet, Chads a type of asshole for sure though. He acts out of fear and love and hurting people due to it. Its very easy to look from the outside and judge him as worse than he is because of his selfishness but thats not all he is. Society, expectations and culture have made Chad hate himself and that does bad shit to a person. If he was alone and did all these things Id dislike him significantly more. But due to having Troy he needs to do more to hide since he is clearly sneaking around. I cannot fully fault someone whos only friend is their boyfriend/girlfriend and backed into a corner to protect them and themselves.

Theres nuance here that matters a great deal.

On a sidenote personally I believe outing people is always wrong i think. This is life altering stuff that could cause serious issues, One exception is telling your wife/SO who you shouldnt lie to or keep secrets from provided they aint a gossip. And since my MC wasnt on Sage path he and said nothing, at the time I thought my MC would go the distance with M&J so my MC told Josy. You dont keep secrets from the chosen LIs. Any player whose MC thats gone with Sage should tell her. If your MC is with Bella or Jill keep the trap shut and dont blab to Sage&Josy. Or as a manwhore gigadik Others, tell everyone for maximum drama

Big theory on the further development of the game. Everyone has already seen the new preview with Jill and it raises the suspicion that something bad has happened. This bad thing is connected precisely with the MC - he looks lost, defeated. Jill most likely came to support him.
But it's not about that. But this picture got me thinking. The game gets darker with each season. What was the first season? A fun, light-hearted comedy all by the canons of American Pie. Student life, pranks, competitions, parties, joining a fun college club. A minimum of drama that was associated only with the MC personal life.

In the second season, the game throws serious global challenges and confronts the characters with great difficulties. Our mansion is destroyed - a big challenge to face and overcome. Maya is being blackmailed by a crazy religious father, Quinn is in serious money and drug dealing troubles, Jill is being blackmailed by Tybalt, MC could be compromised by a video leak, possible police surveillance, Chad and Troy drama, and cherry on top - cliffhanger at the end of Season 2. That moment when we face serious consequences of our decisions. The second season is still a comedy with lots of funny moments, but! It's much more serious and dramatic, a bit darker in places. The DPC is raising clouds.

Next comes the favorite theme of DrRR Martin DrPinkCake - death. Nobody dies in this game during gameplay. This is its difference from the thriller and horror of Acting Lessons. In the first season, only the death of MC's mother is mentioned. In the second, we learn that they are dead: Bella's parents, Quinn's father most likely, Sage's biological parents are also probably dead, sister Jill is lost (exact status is unknown). And the story of Lynette is revealed in detail in flashbacks from the diary. The theme of death is evolving. This all evokes tragedy and makes you sad, if you are not a cynical asshole of course.
But at the end of the second season, this is all past tense, which does not apply to the current gameplay. They died a long time ago.
In the third season, Interlude takes a big turn. The character dies during the game! Although little time was devoted to Zoey grandma, but its still the Present Continuous at the time when we play the Interlude. Hello-hello Acting Lessons! Is this a hint that the third season will be even more tragic?

And now I'm looking at this preview of Jill, I understand that something bad happened (I hope it's not with Neil) and I have an obsession - what is the DPC lying or changing his mind? What if each season will be darker, more violent, tragic and dramatic than the last? What if the characters start dying like flies in the last season, and in the third season we lose someone important and close? Analogies immediately come to the books of one British writer, which became darker each time ...
I only hope that in this case the game will give us a chance to avoid tragedy depending on the decisions made and will not be linear...

Compelling. Not that i think it will happen but compelling framing of the idea.

Hello, I recently discovered the F95zone website with the FR translations of some games, but it may seem a bit "stupid" but I find a lot of tutorials to translate a game directly but I can't find a clear tutorial to install a translation in a game...
I recently made "Good_Girl_Gone_Bad" I just copied and pasted the FR translation in the game folder and it worked the first time so I didn't have too many other questions but now I'm trying to put the FR translation for the game "BeingADIK_0.8.2" so I copy the files in the game folder but the game is not translated...
I tried to download rpaextract and drag the translate.rpa of the FR translation into it then I copied all the files in the game folder directly but the game is not translated...
Is there a manipulation to do or something I missed?
Sorry if this is not the right place for this kind of question, I admit I'm a bit lost!

In my opinion in retrospect the one we can re-evaluate is Troy, not Chad. Troy's only fault is that he loves a man and for that love he loses everything by becoming an outcast. Chad on the other hand in order not to lose anything humiliates both Sage and Troy. We may all be selfish, but such assholes are fortunately few.

I could even excuse him for Sage, who seems to care about him more as a status symbol than as a boyfriend, but what he does to Troy remains unforgivable

You cannot translate a script in Renpy. To translate the automatic game it can even take you months since you have to leave untranslated areas, not to mention the flags, if you load a flag and it autotranslates, it is very likely that you will not find the error and you will have to starting from zero. Not to mention that this game does not need an external tool for its translation. I still wonder why this game is not in more languages? ...


1 script example :

if ep3_drunkBeerMayaFreeroam and ep4_drunkBeerFreeroam:

2 flag example :

de "I had more beers in my cooler. Give [name] the point."
ni "That's another point for [name]!"
scene ep5_evaluation15 with dissolve

3 variable script flag :

$ ep5_mcPoints += 1

4 final result:
if ep3_drunkBeerMayaFreeroam and ep4_drunkBeerFreeroam:
de "J'avais plus de bières dans ma glacière. Donnez [name] le point."
ni "C'est un autre point pour [name]!"
scene ep5_evaluation15 with dissolve
$ ep5_mcPoints += 1

translate a game that is very easy into the industry of videogames

 

[AchedCroissant]

why this game is not in more languages?

Ask DPC why? on Steam there were translations of fans and thanks to him they are no longer there and those who translated this game stopped making it

He likes the money but he thinks that everyone knows how to read English and people who speak Spanish for example and can buy this game they can't do much

Even video game studios, many times, fans help them translate games when they are smaller studios and they are happy because that way they would have more money from sales

When are you going to translate the game to French?

I know felicemastronzo is working on the Italian version of the game, but he ran into issues with how to make the MC make this handsign:

 

[Ilhares]

My good. Death is part of life. AL was so dramatic and I never played it because the MC was forced to make a decision. It was up to him if which girl he wanted to save. The dramatic thing was the decision.

Not quite. The MC only got to make a decision if he was fucking both girls. That was, and still is, my absolute biggest gripe with DPC on this matter. Missy was clearly the one who needed protecting, and I would save her every time, whether I was fucking her or not. But DPC wouldn't allow that, so in my first Megan(boring as white bread)-centric playthrough, I was traumatized by not being allowed to save the one who really needed it the most.

I still think the game was quite well done, but that was a shit situation. Apparently in his head you'll only automatically save somebody if you're sticking your dick in them.

As I always write. Prepare for the worst and be positively surprised by the opposite.

Dude. You write so much off-the-wall insane bullshit you are always going to be surprised by the actual truthful outcome of the game.

Is at any point that the MC is Bisexual?

No. Though he does wake up with Derek in his bed wearing a bra and panties at one point, there is zero indication of such behaviors.

The files are open, DPC has left those files that way for that purpose because they will not have time. I have given an example of a partial translation, some things appear in english but seeing their level it is better not to touch the script files since this is more advanced ,but it is easy to learn if he wants to work on this project it will not be easy because it has a lot of text but he will have my respect

OK, i'm no snowflake like MC

That sounds like what a snowflake would say

 

[DrSoong]

If he were really that shaken Jill would give him a hug

Yeah, you're right, devastated is a much to hard word but it's about that he is more depressed than angry. We have to wait for the context to see why he is looking that way.

 

[DrSoong]

That sounds like what a snowflake would say

Mostly cause i have to do with some during work, find the right spot and everybody is one.

 

[OFT]

I had this to start the day off on a fun note:





But then this bullshit happened:

You must be registered to see the links

To be taken with meals and two large pills of skepticism.




So to distract myself from thinking something horrible might happen to dear old Dad:

While I absolutely would have appreciated most things more than a cancer diagnosis, I think I'd still prefer cancer over finding out there's an impending crotch goblin about to enter the world. At least with the former I'm only dealing with my own life.

However, all things considered, yes - this would be an excellent bait & switch by DPC after all this time. The biggest negative I see is this: Why would a guy piss on a pregnancy test? To set up a prank and freak someone out? Who do we know that's the biggest joker? Derek.
