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

[JavCh]

Mediocre party makeup, ugly hair, dimmed lighting. That's what comes to mind.

I'm with you, the only cases I think I see a face change are obviously effects of makeup

All you need to do is go the picnic with her instead of taking care of Sage. Fight for her when the choice occurs, and lastly be a neutral or chick when doing it. And you'll lock Jill if you choose her at the episode 8 ending.

Nope, I'm certain I did all that, and I remember that precisely because they're all obvious choices (picnic and fight for her) and I never did anything concious that took me apart from her (only slip was the dick pic -apparently less important that I thought- and I didn't pay the icecream on the picnic date because I was short on cash). And what I do not rememembered I still have a save of the moment of chosing final LI and I have:

DIK score -5
DIK Status Chick
Affinity Neutral
Permanent Affinity: Yes

Love how Sage and Jill bonded in this episode. (Yes I make a lot of fun of Jill but I also like Jill a alot, just as I do other LIs and sides). Jill is no longer a prisoner of a limited existence, she has a lot more friends because of MC, no matter if MC is on her path or not.

But my friend, IRL good people do bad stuff that hey regret later on. To simplify the complexity of MC's character because he's supposedly madly in love with Jill is a disservice. You can deeply love someone and still hurt her feelings beyond repair. Schizophrenia is a serious illnes that has nothing to do with a VN MC who thought he loved someone deeply but strayed on her best friends ass. you know people do get married and then divorced. Break ups happen. DPC will punish players who fall off the Bianca cliff.

now don't give all this weight to the word schizophrenia. i used it in a generic sense

but someone who touches his girlfriend's best friend's arse with her present, without knowing her well, without there having been any approach between the two of them, is either crazy or nihilistic

whether PDC will punish this behaviour for real we'll see, after all for now what seemed like the ultimate betrayal, the triangle with Bella and Jill, seems like it could have fairly limited and painless consequences.

Without that kind of temptations, Jill's path would only be "We'll be happy forever with our future four children, tree golden retriever, six horses and two unicorns with rainbows in the horns". I think that scene it's just to bring "spice" to the story, but yes, it doesn't make any sense that he touches Bianca's ass literally two seconds after saying to everybody that Jill and him are an official couple. There should be another scene in which Bianca is alone with MC, he sees she's "receptive" and could decide to flirt with her or something like that. But that would mean another scene, more renders, music... So, DPC uses that sluggish narrative resource of using a scene that is already done and introduce that thing of touching or not the butt, even if it doesn't make any sense there.

at this point this applies to the path of each LIs, and it is right that there are temptations, but they must be credible. Zoey, for example, can be a believable temptation, MC who can't hold back with Bianca much but much less.

Awesome to see this got a update after so long... but I'm still bummed that my gal Quinn isn't someone we can try and get with like Sage or Jill etc.. and now we have a few new faces Tara caught my eye so hopefully we can get with also some way down the road.

I think the "others" Path is precisely that, Others (yet to define) not Others and always Others until the end, so is not that by choosing Others you don't choose her, but you still haven't decide at that particular moment. I think the same works for Riona, there're aspects in the conversations that make me think there are endings with them in mind, just that due to their personalities they're no so strict as the other characters that are more romantically motivated so they don't need you to start being exclusive so soon.

I have like zero doubts there will be separeted endings for at least Quinn, Riona and Nicole, and maybe not such an obvious moment of decission like episode 8, but Others path will have another split in the future (it will probably still include a single option or a harem for some of the girls that were in the Others path).

It's only Sage, and they only talk for a few minutes. She already was a friend of Josy, at least knew Maya and the tri-betas, and has other good friends outside B&R, Bianca and the others. And of course Bella Not to talk that mysterious Jonathan. I don't think she was a prisoner of a limited existence. She already had a lot of people in her life. She's shy with MC and when they are having sex. Outside that, she's a mature and self-confident woman, only too nice with some people for her own good.

And whatever the fuck DPC is doing with Jill/Jillian's face over time.

 

[AchedCroissant]

My (totally unbiased ) thoughts:
- once she knows she's getting cheated on, there's no chance to advance with her as long as you're in a relationship with Jill
- there's still a chance there's no chance to cheat on Jill at all with Bianca and her reaction to the ass-grab was just a spur of the moment thing
- she'll find out about Matthew & Olivia eventually, whether you tell Jill or not - and it's questionable whether you see Bianca again before that

=> Others path is the way to go

There's something you can't skip.

Bianca has a crush on the MC on whatever route you play and that's pretty obvious.

And that their mothers know each other is something that will come out sooner or later so that the MC will knows his mother's past.

Bianca is the door for that

Bianca would be a believable temptation if DPC would have dedicated some of the time she dedicated to Zoey to make her a real character too. So far she's just a redhead with a good ass (as any other girl in B&R). That's my point: all around Bianca is rushed and that's what makes that MC touching her ass there doesn't make any sense. But again, that would mean more scenes for Bianca, more renders, more time. That's another example of DPC refusing to hire help is doing this game worse, since he continues adding characters and subplots that can't properly develop.

Bianca is awesome.
Any criticism of Bianca is irrelevant.

On the other path you can spend the night with Quinn. For her that is an awful lot of progress. For a Non-main path I enjoy it quite a bit.

Legit, one of my favorite moments in Episode 9. This was a good episode despite everything, the music is a banger as well.

That's why I would like see more scenes of her and know her better, not just a good ass to touch in a bad moment.

Playing this game a second time I realize that none of the main girls are really in love with the MC, except for Jill.
It's pretty sad, actually... It makes me believe that it's better to stay single (Other's path) from episode 8 onwards.

• Maya & Josy don't show any sadness if the MC mentions that he prefers just friendship, in fact they kiss passionately as soon as the MC turns his back.

• Sage is completely obsessed with Chad. At no point did I witness genuine feeling on her part. The impression I had is: If Chad wants her back, she'll run to him without thinking twice.

• Bella apparently just misses a male touch. If her husband is alive or willing to return, there's no way she'd rather stay with the MC than her husband.

Poor MC...
The stripclub girls have more feelings for the MC than the main girls. LMFAO!

honestly dating all the girls until ep9 seeing the effect of the mc on them they change gradually to become better people that being said I don't know why people love sage I mean yes I chose friends with benefits with her but she literally she force/blackmail the mc to help her in the 3rd or 4th time encounter her (if i remember correctly) to get the guitar.

I chose Bella in e8 (difficult choice between her and jill) because the way i see it the mc always helps the girls but how many of them help the mc really :

• Maya gave the mc room to stay in and we already helped her a lot.
• Jose nothing comes to mind right now the mc helps her with the relationship with Maya.
• Sage like i said before force the mc to help her in exchange for the mcs guitar.
• Bella the mc keeps fucking up the situations with her but she gives more than one chance and actually helps him to get back on his feet after every fuck up he makes and advises him with maya/jose situation if he chose to stay with her after the big reveal
• Jill helps the mc after being bullied and goes with Tybalt for the mc sake

maya/jose relationship does not seem like it will survive without the mc in the mix

 

[AchedCroissant]

All theory, but I would figure if you want to be with Bianca, pick the others path. And make sure you save Jill at the recital. I suspect Bianca will figure out her man is cheating on her and etc...etc... On all the path saves I have, that is probably what I will do so as to see where the Jill path goes with no hassle. Besides, I want to meet Jill's mom; gain her trust/lust, put her over the nearest piece of furniture and get a new Mercedes.

It would be crazy if Amelia gave the MC a blowjob before Jill

I refuse to play this route knowing this threesome will never happen. Teasing is fun, but denial is not.
