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

[shazba]

The interlude had 794 renders and 36 animations... the writing was not complex... and branching wasnt really there too. So yeah, considering that, to make _only_ the interlude would have taken 1-2 months nothing more... thats not a thing to complain about regarding the release of episode 9 i think. And i think the renders and animations were more likely done sideways, i think DPC was way more busy setting everything up for the "new" system and such...

But other than that... i just dont like Zoey, the interlude was not interesting in any way, and we learned only that she cant surf, graduated, realised that she loves the MC more than she thought and met boring people in San Diego from whom i dont even remember their names and dont want to see them again...

Well that could have been handled in 3-4 lines during epsiode 9 too

So i would have prefered a short "Interlude" about some other sidecharacters... or maybe a Main-LI too... i mean, we get a whole interlude with 794 renders about Zoey, but for the maingirls so far... most of the time we only can guess what they where doing before college started... and well even during the time this game goes we almost can only guess whats going on with them cause the MC cant ask questions for shit like... "hey whats your name Sage?" "Burke, why?" *puke*

I definitely agree that it doesn't feel like the Interlude needed to be so long.

Previous episodes have hit us with a bomb at the end, and then the next episode has a prologue to fill in the gaps. Definitely the same could have been done, and a 2 minute prologue with the mc waiving her off, her bouncing around San Diego and then her returning, with no animations, one or two music tracks, and maybe 50 renders would have been enough.

My guess is DPC wanted to make a strong impact with Zoey since she's got a lot of catching up to do when compared to the other LIs. But it backfired for some people.

I don't care either way. I enjoyed it, and after replaying it a few months later for the second time, I enjoyed it even more (still not as good as the main game though).

I'm also not hanging out for any back stories of other characters (except to learn Bella's secrets - but it's obviously not time to expose that as an "Interlude"), so I don't have any preference for anything else to be covered in the Interlude.

Regarding surnames, I don't think I've ever asked a girl her last name until it was necessary. In school, college (uni for me) or at work, you might catch someone's surname from a role call or obviously from email or a business card, but worst case, some girls I didn't find out their surnames until I met their parents. It's not like we live in an incestuous world where we've got to be on the lookout in case we fuck a long lost sister or something.

So in this game, I'd expect the mc to have already seen (but not given a shit about) the surnames of students in his class, and that's about it.

I don't buy it that just because we don't know his mom's surname, he doesn't either. But regarding Sage, they don't share classes, so there's no reason to know her surname.

You just don't go running around asking hot girls for their business cards.

And the only time I started seriously typing women's full names into my phone was when I got married.

Looks a lot less suspicious on your phone than:

"Candy"​

Mrs Shazba: "Hey Fuckface, who's this 'Candy' on your phone? "​

​

Shazba: "Umm, err, would you believe she's the new mechanic? "​

​

Mrs Shazba: "Oh, ok."​

Shazba: ""​

​

Wait holy shit, I just noticed that part of MCs SHITFACED shirt is written in swedish, and it just says "knew you would translate this". Is DPC connected to sweden in any way or is it just because it's an obscure language?

Yeah, he lives in Sweden.

Well, yeah... you are right about that... but let me ask you, how many times do you met a girl that claimed that her parents have enough influence on the college to help a friend to get a free tuition? If that is not a reason to ask about a surname... what is? Other than getting married Or at least ask... "hey sage why do you think your parents can help?" "duh, they run this college, Burke, you know the burkes?"

There was a reason why i picked Sage for the "surname" issue... others complain about Jill for example, but yeah... doesnt really matter that she is a Royce? So what. and for all the others... the surname doesnt matter too... well, so far...

And yeah there was no point in asking Sage that UNTIL the end of episode 8 that is... but in this case? Just running around blindly like a headless chicken again instead of asking at least one meaningful question... sometimes... well... head meets table. If you get what i mean.

But well, it is what it is... and we will get the conclusion in episode 9 for that... will be a funny scene for sure. Especially if you fucked Jade... iam so gonna play that route first... have a playthough where iam sages fuckbuddy and bang Jade, this will be fun

And i noticed DPC has a thing to play around with "name dropping" and make funny business with surnames here and there...

The former is actually more suspicious because it's clearly trying to pre-emptively dispel any doubt

 

[Hahn1900]

The only evidence of any fuckin' without consent going on in this game is Tybalt's watermelon. And Jill's sleep humping.

Hey hey hey... You dont think the melon loves Tybalt back? Come on... he even gave her panties! Iam sure the melon appreciated it very much... i mean, look how wet she is! No woman who doesnt want to have sex with you is that wet...

But Jills humping... yeah that was nasty no doubt... would be traumatized for life... (that she didnt wake up and going all the way for real instead of leaving me blue balled)

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Good Morning. Sage is the best.

I'm Geralt from Rivia and I approve this.

yep,there's a fight in there somewhere

 

[ffive]

can someone please send download links in parts being split. Because , gofile at a stretch fails miserably plus 2mb/s aint doing no good. if good quality compression or google drive mirrors found please send me those as well .. waiting kindly. cheers

You're probably best off using the torrent link in the OP, or the Mega version using their download app, so it can resume in case of a stall or similar failure.

come on--let's stop trying to give a justification of realism to a ruse that only has plot motivations.

what are the chances of not knowing the last name of your best friend and the girl you shared a room with for a week, both your classmates? yet what a surprise!!!!(because DPC knows only one way to deliver news, that of surprising surprise.)

and also Sage...ok they attend different classes, but she is the head of a sorority daughter of two professors!!! if you are not a nerd who is locked in the library throwing dice with your nerdy friends it is statistically impossible that news of whose daughter she is won't reach your ears. the HOTs know for sure, so the DIKs and Jocks both know. the only ones who don't know are maybe the nerds and MC....

just Jill is a demonstration of how impossible it is to hide who we are when it is news of any importance. She doesn't want him to know, yet it only takes one mutual friendship for the secret to be revealed, because no one thinks your last name could ever be a secret

Who says the mc didn't know Maya or Derek's surname? Just because we don't, doesn't mean he doesn't. We do find out Maya's surname in episode 8 and it's completely irrelevant.

Do we the reader now need to know Josy's surname as well? No, it's pointless.

The mc found out Rusty and Jill's surnames over time and he was surprised, but it wasn't some huge reveal. Only Sage's has been revealed in some significant plot twist.

That's it.

It's the fucking readers who keep making a massive deal about family lineage etc that have turned this into some pile of nonsense.

Mc reacts with surprise to the revelation of her full name

DPC clearly plays with this aspect

then just wait and find out who Madame and Nora are related to.... (and Melanie)

Right now Josy last name doesn't really mean anything, could it in future sure, all what really matters is that she become Mrs MC

 

[Lovetities]

Is incest planned for game

Yes, I just found out Jill is Mc cousin

 

[felicemastronzo]

the 5 things I would be most happy to have in the ninth chapter (in order of how little I believe in it):

1) Maya even seemingly solving the loan problem (a prerequisite at the beginning of the "solo routes").
2) MC hinting to Bella about her husband or the other way around.
3) Sage realizing that she cannot trust Quinn (there is a limit to blindness)
4) Zoey apologizing to MC for cutting ties and giving up their friendship
5) Jill doing something as a student other than studying in the library.
bonus) - because if it doesn't happen yet, it's not worth having started playing BADIK - the real trouple threesome, no turn-taking quickies, no acting out for Quinn, three who love each other and are happy to fuck each other

the 5 things that are likely to happen in the ninth chapter instead:

1) Maya reexplaining the details of her student loan.
2) MC apologizing to Zoey for trusting Emma's post, and that she could actually steal a friend's boyfriend (a girl yet, but a boyfriend... heck and where are we even?!?!? NTR NTR)
3) Jill not attending the Halloween party, with MC understanding her choice
4) Sage forgiving Quinn for some mishap at the Halloween party that wasn't supposed to happen, but Quinn is known to have a strange sense of humor
5) one between Melanie/Nora and Madame or the cafeteria girl who suddenly reveals whose relative she is.

 

[Lurcher1]

I’d like to see Jill, now that she’s got her oats, go full nympho and cheat on the MC only because the Reddit meltdown would be a sight to see
After which, the MC can actually bother himself with a better LI such as sage, josy or zoey

1)Meh, Maya loan problem will be solved depending on Mc previous choices or Mc will find a way to get out of the house if he is a dik.
2) Mc either argues with Zoey (Dik) or become more distant to her as Zoey try to win him over(chick) probably
3) Jill attending Halloween party if she is on Jill route/Sage inviting Bella and Bella goes there with Jill. Private Bella and Jill Halloween (Ps-Sexy Halloween with Jill's friend Bianca)
4) Sage and Quinn will probably happens later episodes where sage learn Quinn deal with drugs and what she made Maya do.
Season 3 will probably include more new stories and characters tho and Mc didn't even completed his first semester lmfao. I wonder if sage going to replaced by another Mc after she graduated

 

[NebulousShooter]

4) Sage and Quinn will probably happens later episodes where sage learn Quinn deal with drugs and what she made Maya do.

fake news, Sage and Quinn will end up falling in love and the snowflake MC will have another meltdown

 

[felicemastronzo]

4) Sage and Quinn will probably happens later episodes where sage learn Quinn deal with drugs and what she made Maya do.

I get it, Sage is waiting for video footage or sworn testimony from trusted bystanders to show her that what Maya told her is true

Yeah, he lives in Sweden.

Oh damn, I had no idea
Always fun to see such amazing stuff from your own country

I guess I'm not active enough in the community, didn't mean to sound like I found out a secret, was just curious as it's always fun to find stuff from my own small country
