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

[septacycell]

Is quite funny that the highest rated game with the "combat" tag is "being a DIK" and while it does feature combat from start to end, is not exactly what it looks like from the outside.

In the end, given the context, however improbable, no scenario is completely impossible. Then it can also be the premise of a disaster, but nothing can be ruled out.

Many are convinced that there was something between Jill and Bella, so why would it be impossible?

I think you misread my comment, I referred to a Jill and Sage threesome as something that’s not going to happen.

They have no relation to each other, and that’s before taking the extreme differences in personalities into account. I just can’t imagine any development in the story that somehow creates that scenario.

 

[Don Sucio]

It’s edited for the luls. There is no scenario that ends up with a Sage/ Jill scene unless DPC releases a “Harem scenes dlc” in the far flung future.

i thought so, too good to be true hahaha, thanks for answering

 

[FappingWorldwide]

what if Sage and Jill are in the library and get into a fight somehow which Bella hears and breaks it up. Bella makes them kiss and make up they don't want to but Bella has on her best axe murder face so they give in. They kiss and it turns out they like it so they start talking and find out how much they have in common even their dislike of TY. Sage and Jill end up at the HoT go to Sage where they start making out, before they have sex Jill being Jill ask if she'll get pregnant Sage saids no and they have the best sex of their life.

That is some S-tier porn logic. To me that wouldn’t go well with how Jill has been written thus far.

you just need to tell her that since it's with another girl, she'll stay a virgin and it doesn't count as sex. sounds more believable than blackmail plot

IDK Jill deep down might be bi something did happen with her and Bella likely sleep humping so it isn't 100% crazy maybe 95%

Jill and Bella was meant to be an example of an unlikely, but not impossible, trio whose premises are all in two lines of dialogue

how long does it take to create the same premise for Sage and Jill? a couple of chapters and a few clues and special situations can easily be created.

Highly improbable but not impossible.

no more impossible than the fact that two girls you've had sex with are actually a couple who decide to enter into a lasting 3-way relationship....

no more impossible than that by dint of harassing a married woman she asks you out on a date (hentai logic)

one chance in a million, but one is there

Sure there’s always a chance, personally I’ll consider it impossible until it happens. I mean the game of course has plenty of porn logic woven into it in order to work.

(The MC has a giant cock, perfect abs, and can successfully seduce any target he sets his eyes on if he does the right thing. In addition he’s the second coming of Bruce Lee and makes money from puzzles on his phone).

I also gets the sense that DPC wants his writing to be taken seriously, and that he has at least to my mind, gone out of his way to make the LI paths be somewhat credible.

Add to this that the full on DIK path already gives you all of those things in droves.
But if we ever get that scene I hope Sage will be like : Hmm this Jillybean tastes like fucking vanilla, hey Fuckface, pour some whisky on her pussy, and maaaybe I’ll give you a 4 out of 5” * Quick zoom in on Jill covering her mouth while she lets out an “Oh my” .

too late to be taken REALLY seriously (the loan, Bella going to sleep at the DIK house a few days after Cathe's scandal, Quinn's genius plans, Sage still trusting Quinn in spite of everything....).

by now it has to settle for being more or less believable....

doesn't have to be something definitive, but a wild card, a gift to players, or even a trap for a game over too tempting to think twice about.

If I made 7 major chick choices and 5 Dik choices what affinity would I have?

 

[rainnnnnn]

Neutral.

so why when i decided to fight Tommy I got a DIK affinity when i made 6 Dik Choices (including to fight Tommy) and 4 chick choices? is it because I made like 4 DIK choices in a row?

 

[rainnnnnn]

It's a balance thing, at that point you're 60% DIK, at 7 - 5 it's 58%. I think it's something like 0-40% = CHICK, 41-59% = NEUTRAL, 60-100% = DIK. It's deliberately difficult to keep a NEUTRAL affinity as it's the only affinity that maximizes the girl choices, the restaurant girls aren't interested in a CHICK, it's only Quinn who is locked out of neutral. Throuple and Jill are locked out from DIK affinity.

Oh wow I did not know that. thanks bro !

There’s a quote from Stephen King that I like to use as a crutch to explain this kinda thing… obviously it’s being magnified through the lens that is porn logic but;

“Pop culture writing is about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Literature is about extraordinary people in ordinary circumstances.”

I *personally* think DPC is aiming for the former. He’s aiming for “ordinary people” in extraordinary situations + porn. No it isn’t iron clad but the characters are relatively grounded and just being put through (almost laughably) extraordinary situations.

No it isn’t realistic at all, no the “extraordinary situations” don’t really hold water but I (again, personally) find some level of amusement in seeing these relatively normal people deal with these extraordinary situations. That’s what I’m here for. The absurd situations just have to be taken with a pinch of salt to enjoy the meat of this which is how the characters behave and how our input changes that.

Just my take on this… my brief peek above the parapet.

 

[SomboSteel]

DPC didn't show Bella kissing her husband in a flash-back. A flash-back ! Because he feared their wrath.

Quick question: I used to jump on once a week or so and search for anything posted by N7 to get the latest updates, but they haven't posted in a while and I know there have been other updates and previews. Is there a key forum figure that I should be looking up instead these days? Thanks brothers.

Throuple and Jill are locked out from DIK affinity.

You know what, I intentionally pursued a Sage-only (meaning = rejecting everybody except her) DIK path and I ended up being locked into a permanent NEUTRAL affinity at the end of episode 8 .

Easiest way for a NEUTRAL path: reject every side girl and every main Love interest but 1 (Josy and Maya count as one).

DrPinkCake posts development news on Friday. Come back here on Friday and check.

Is Bella on pills in S02? I mean she was not active sexually for a long time, so may be not??

 

[Sancho1969]

SanchoNote:

Since I'm a nice guy and all, while I'm in the final prep of updating SanchoMod to the latest core and bringing it all to S2 v0.8.3 (with additional features and tweaks) I'll do you folks that play completely un-modded a solid.

So, you want the missing songs back that were removed from v0.8.3?

Of course you do.

I'll be releasing a fix for that separately for folks that don't use a mod at all. It'll be incorporated by default in SanchoMod.... BUT you all need to do one thing (since I am not a supplier), you need to grab the old "music_ep1.rpa" file from your v0.8.2 build. It's the single one file you need. I'll do the rest. More deets coming soon.

Regards.

Edit: I forgot to post a teaser... so here's one with the mod up and the original music in place:

I agree wholeheartedly which is why this game has become my little “guilty pleasure erotic/ romance/ witty/ nostalgic youth novel”. I’m not particularly excited for the sex scenes, even though that was what originally peaked my interest. I’ve become heavily invested in the story(ies), and that’s what I’m excited to see play out.

ANY UPDATE??
