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

[CHAD-MAN]

Ok, I finally got around to play slowly episode 9. Honestly? Probably over of my least fav episodes since like episode 1 or 2 (not counting the prelude). I'd give it a 6,5/10... maybe 7 on dif paths. Why? Well...

The good:
- Probably a CHEATING system in place. I'm curious to see how it will play out and how it will bite players in the ass.
- Josy and Maya reminiscing about their relationship with MC if you reject them sounds like DPC still sort of teasing a BREAK-UP scenario and the LIs FIGHTING for the MC (I hope).
- I liked the new mini-game. Didnt enjoyed the house rebuilding one but this one is simple to understand and doesn't look too hard right now.
- The usual great scenes/animations.
- Zoey is cool. I want to see how this will develop, especially on CHICK solo paths.

The bad:
- Too much free-roam. I was done after the second roam. Roaming in the same place so many times and so much times gets boring, especially since we know the layout of the mansion by now. It was too much.
- Playing a CHICK solo path sucks. Nuff said. DPC rushed it too soon and locked us out of sooo damn much.
- The haunted basement was pretty poor.
- WE CAN'T WE HAVE A NICE BREAK-UP WITH JADE? I didnt even wanted to end things, but at least let my MC tell her why he's breaking up, instead of she almost killing us just by looking at the MC.
- The overall dinner with the Burkes was pretty meh. Expected a lot more drama.
- Overall no real story progression, aside from Vinny becoming the main villain (I guess?)
- No brawler, means a fighting system rework? Hum...
- Maya and Josy just BORE me to death when they're together, HOLY FUCK.
- All the LIs seem pretty okay the MC reject/dump them. More fighting for the MC please.

I know a lot of amazing work is put into this game but... please dont take +1 year for another update. I liked the party but it wasn't all that impressive and good, especially because it took like 90% of the episode.

And because of Jill too.
could reveal the family secrets of Mc.
Especially the family lineage of his mother who died after he was born.

 

[Darkwen]

Yeah, that's some kind of a police training for sure, they trained her how to grind her ass to someone's cock very well.

if Lily is a cop it gives new meaning to crime doesn't pay so not paying Lily for sex is a crime?

 

[Lurcher1]

Still can't get over the ridiculous Banana costume. I'm wondering if it's an elaborate troll from DPC in that if you get the Banana costume at any point, you're doomed! To get a good Jill end you need to actually have to play as a DIK and get rejected initially otherwise she stay's naive and ends up buffeted about by other's and ends up broken up at then end (to echo a parallel from his parents, it'll turn out the Dad was a complete DIK and was rejected by Lynette the first time until she saw his charm or some such).

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

I think that Lily is a undercover cop/agent. Lily is very smart despite her stupid look, + her acrobatic ability can be explained by police training.

DPC is soon 4 years striaght with this game, and I still get the feeling that in episode 3 we are only starting, yet in every episode he gives himself a plot exit that gives him the option to wrap up if needed.

Yeah, that's some kind of a police training for sure, they trained her how to grind her ass to someone's cock very well.

Next time I get a chance, I will approach to a female cop, show her this picture, and ask if they teach it at the police academy. If I stop showing up on F95, then I'm in jail.

F to pay respects for Geralt's inevitable arrest, cavity search and beating?

what... the... @#$%... I didn't think there was IN the kitchen! I stared at that room many times and didn't see a thing... now that it was revealed, it seems to obvious! LOL... it's not even small, how in the hell did my brain miss that?! heheh I actually found most of them on my own, haven't looked for help in any way. Handy guide...

While going through the game's image files recently (looking for profile images for recreating characters) I noticed a bunch of images that show where hidden things were (the images that light up when you point at them)... some surprises out there I never noticed in older episodes.

Well, look at it this way: both Jills are valid. Since MC(not us as narrative deciders) picks what he wants. Chick MC will fully enjoy vanilla Jill. While a more Neutral to DIKish MC will enjoy Darth Jill more. So I think DPC actually created a divide that will satisfy 2 types. The Jill Purists(naive, vanilla, basic bitch, chick) and stronger willed and determined Jill, a Jill that fights for what she wants. A side of which we first saw when she destroys Tybalt. This was actually a great move on DPC's part.

Because who ever plays Jill and really enjoys Jill route, the banana costume is so on point her socially retarded antics. It's so Jill. And I for one loved that run, I laughed and enjoyed it.

No. Episode 10 is going to be Thanksgiving and episode 11 is going to be another interlude and episode 12 is going to be the violent Christmas incident that was flash forwarded to.

And the violent Christmas incident will be played out through a mega-freeroam investigation special, where MC is tasked with finding clues the entire episode. Plus theres a DNA collection minigame!

Jill's banana costume is symbolism. She was born with a penis and masculine facial structure. This is why she was bullied as a child, and also why Bella remarks that she should date MC because "she's a woman now". Get ready for trans-Jill for those on the Being a CHICK path!

 

[TomUK]

Just wondering if I'm the only one that likes the free-roams.

 

[CHAD-MAN]

Man... how can someone NOT feel for Rusty.

That guy was rejected in the party and in the next day he discovers that his crush is dating his soon-to-be best-friend. I can only imagine if he had to sell that damn car. I really hate Micah now, that last CG with Rusty baffled looking at Jill and the MC point to the fact he's not over her.

Maybe it was a flashback, and not a flash forward, a hint to what happened to Bella's husband perhaps?. The room we see the shadowy figure emerge from is now the locked room in her house. Also Bella's home is decorated differently now there is no dining table, now she has a sofa, coffee table a large TV.

I'm pretty sure it will either be Banana Jill or Strawberry Jill and depending on the season Vanilla Jill or Chocolat Jill....
Please don't mess up our Jill-shakes!

DPC should add a resource management mini-game to the free-roams. Every action (i.e., use of a movement arrow, fast travel, speaking to someone, or interacting with an object) consumes one resource unit. The free-roam must be completed within the allocated resource budget, or you fail and must start over. This would really increase the sense of accomplishment!

No, you're special snowflake, like me.

We've never had a flash forward in a chapter prologue. They've all been flashbacks. Not sure why anyone would think different this time around.

Man that face in the Josy/Maya ending is priceless. MC has a lot to clear in episode 10.

I'd say Rusty and Jill hits the most. Considering how bad his night with Micah was.
