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

[JohnnyBlazePT]

so in your opinion the choice of the eighth chapter is final

in the middle of the game

unlikely

i also dont understand why we needed to make that decision so early in the game
i mean, this game is supposed to have 12 episodes. if we make this important decision on ep8 it basically means that the game will cock block us for 4 episodes...

The game can be even 16 episodes.

The only right one.




The others don't even make the list.

To see if you can stick with it. Actually managing to maintain a relationship is a big part of it.

if this was a dating simulator i would agree, now this is a game related with college and all the crazy things that people do when they are in college so i dont think it makes sense to be with only one girl for 4 episodes or more.

in real life yes, on a videogame no
i think thats why most of the people play videogames, to do things that normally they dont do

Having a relationship is one of the crazy things people do in college, so it's perfectly fine to have such option. If you don't want to be with only one girl then simply pick "Others", that's exactly what it is for, fucking around while avoiding any commitment.

If we're doing Tier lists, I'll throw this grenade and see what feathers it ruffles..


The rest are "meh" and a couple are "shoot on sight"

Mostly true but this particular game has a fix for everyone.. I think there's more behind choosing one partner here..like if you really like one of the girls more, even though you are still seeing others on the side which then boils down to whether you are willing to sacrifice other flings just to be with her or not. ..

bro i dont think is a bad thing to commit with only one girl, what i was "criticizing" is that choice was to early and kinda rushed.
correct me if im wrong (cuz i already played this game a long time and i already forgot some of them) but the halloween party is being planned so it means these 8 episodes happen between like august and october. only 2 months passed since MC went to college and he is already choosing a waifu? thats why i think that important choice doesnt make sense

Yes, am just disagreeing with your view on this.

As it is, the game gives you option to go "steady" with a girl of choice for extended period of time and see if you can make it work, or break up. It wouldn't make much sense to give such option at the very end of the game because well, there isn't much of achievement in refraining from fucking someone else for episode or two.

For the players who aren't interested in such thing, they can pick "others" and keep fucking around as they've been doing up to this point.

it means these 8 episodes happen between like august and october. only 2 months passed since MC went to college and he is already choosing a waifu? thats why i think that important choice doesnt make sense

Continuing with this logic, the remaining 4-8 episodes can be expected to similarly last a few months tops. So that's hardly choosing a partner for life, and as such it's not as important as you make it to be. At the same time, i'd say 2 months is decent enough period to tell if you want to try getting slightly serious/exclusive with someone, or not.

basically DPC needed to know who we were most interested in to see if there was any way to get us to be dumped by her....

really a kind thought!!!

the choice has a technical reason, to simplify the ramifications of the story a minimum, and a scenic one, to give importance to the closing of the second season

from a storytelling point of view it is ok, but it could have been done without: Bella anyway sooner or later would have had to ask MC to clear the air with Jill, Maya and Josy already at the beginning had indicated that at some point all together would have to decide whether to go ahead with this experiment or not (so the fact that MC decided unilaterally is quite insignificant), with Sage we could have also done without asking her for the umpteenth time to get serious, when all the previous times she had extricated herself.

In the end, only Jill wanted the choice.

True, but then am not sure if this would be a better approach, since it effectively takes decision out of the player's hands and instead forces them to react to NPC actions. And if there's one thing VN players seem to almost universally hate, it is NPCs daring to have opinions and act on their own.

So many people pretending they wouldn't tap that dead mom if only given an option.

But the decision is only partly, very little, in the hands of the player

Jill may already abandon the player who chose her, and in the next chapter it is very likely that something similar may happen with Bella and Sage. and it is also quite likely that the trouple itself will decide whether or not to move on. but it will continue to happen for other reasons again and again.

I think out of 100 games in at least 70 at that time there is only one name (besides possibly "others"). basically the only ones it should give freedom of choice to are those players in those runs where they didn't want to choose... good but not great

Sure the moment DPC gives us a DeLorean i would go back 20 years and knock her up, making the MC his own dad.
But as that won't happen ever...
