VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[FunFuntomes]

Things in this game are really a lot simpler than some people seem to think they are.

precisely... in episode one MC has a date with Josy an he later brings her back home, while the camera shows the house, what if Tommy was home, packing for college and he saw MC with his beloved step-sister. That would be enough to cause his anger and hostility, later at the pinkrose when MC asks him what's wrong, he snaps at him. but in episode six we are given the chance to reconcile with Tommy, which happens after MC broke up with Josy or is treating her nicely. and the fact he was sniffing her nailpolish could have been something he came up with when he got caught in Josy's room and didn't want anyone to find out he was sniffing her panties.

 

[Cokebaths]

are you so insecure that not even your sister and widowed mother can not be happy and find their own man? that is rough man!

Twas a joke my good friend! But really if you go to any 'cest game forum, you'll see people who would say that exact thing, so I guess you're not wrong

 

[shazba]

Yeah, I've always found the "James is in the army" thing weird because its not really supported anywhere.

That said. Wasn't there a look under the door to the locked room, and someone made out army boots or something? I thought that was where the army thing (coupled with drunk MC) came from.

These are the boots:

I own boots like that. Steel cap, safety boots...

What did you guys name your MC? I always have trouble picking a name.

I always give MCs my name. Though there hasn't been a game yet where the MC hasn't made me regret giving them my name at some point lol

 

[Kellermann]

Hey dude, I was in such a situation. The army doesn't give you a choice. I was lucky that I got two weeks of leave.

And when James was on a military mission, he can't just go home as a soldier. There's a word for that when someone does that. "desertion."

And when you're a soldier and you're in the shit with your buddies and the bullets are flying around your ears, you can't just walk away. The stress that a soldier is exposed to in such a situation is enormous. The only thing a soldier can think about is his spouse, family and friends. And then he comes home and sees his wife fucking another woman.

If something like that had happened to us, I wouldn't have needed an axe.

Are you telling me you were in war or in barracks for three years straight with no breaks? No leave? No one stays on constant deployment for three years straight (the amount of time since Bella apparently last saw James) without the ability to see or communicate with family. Everyone gets leave, even during war time. Or at least time to return to the home country for training.

I can understand James being upset walking in on Bella and Jill. That much I can agree with, but my whole point is James staying out of contact for three years. MIA theory doesn't make sense. There are no US MIA for the most recent wars. According to US DoD, they only had some contractors declared MIA, last one in 2007. James is certainly not MIA.

 

[Cokebaths]

Never really thought about it until just now, but... how creepy is it that Bella still has James' toothbrush there?

Tbh I assumed it was Jill's spare toothbrush for whenever she stayed over

Thats it. Huh. I had assumed it was a much more clearer image. Bit much to jump to army from that.

Thats a fair point, really.

Some lines with (unintentional?) double meaning

Riona: Ok, I'm on a mission for ice. Take care of Sage for me, will you?

Actual meaning: The fridge is out of ice cubes and she's out to get them.
Alternate meaning: She's getting meth.

MC: No way! I'm not going to ride bareback the first time.

Actual meaning: He won't jump on a horse the first time he saw them.
Alternate meaning: He will always wear a condom when having sex with a girl for the first time (which is demonstrably false).

The pants do look like camo, but even if James is in the military, which I'm not convinced he is, I say there is no way he is MIA. The only logical remaining option is that he has voluntarily broken off contact with Bella. Whether that be because of infidelity, a lost baby, or because he has a side girl, I don't know.

you do realise why this makes as much sense as tybalt winning a slap fight with Caleb ?

 

[Kellermann]

Well that is why I give James no quarter!

 

[FunFuntomes]

James deserves some nice quarters 6 feets under.

Not as stupid as the flashback of Quinn's dad snorting coke, what fun it was

There's a significant difference between a flashback that fleshes out who a character is and where they come from. And one with a character in the exact same spot she's in now but a year earlier, it does nothing, shows nothing, accomplishes nothing.

You want to flashback Josy, show her with her parents before Monica and Tommy. Give her some actual depth and character instead of just being Maya's handbag.

 

[Sexypeasan]

I'm going to get Chapter 4 and they told me I have to pick a Josy and Maya or Quinn path, what do you recommend?

 

[Kellermann]

Let's have a beer together.

Ok, but I only drink Tsingtao! My German ancestors would be so disappointed in me.

 

[OFT]

Another question I'm hoping to have answered in Ep. 7: Who's at the door?

 

[HenzoStar]

if ur a DIK go Quinn and if ur a chick go Josy and Maya.

Or Combat boots, doesn't always mean their army, or mens. And would go well with some leathers and a crop.

Tommy was already at college, he lives there. He doesn't exactly have to go home for the summer considering he's just a short train journey away from there.

This is pretty much how dalli and Warscared view this game.

Whatever one you want. If you want M&J, make sure you're Neutral or CHICK before that decision, and if you want to risk the as yet undefined Quinn path, then either be DIK or simply choose to just be friends with M&J.

 

[Sexypeasan]

if ur a DIK go Quinn and if ur a chick go Josy and Maya.

¿And if I like the 3?
