VN Ren'Py Leaving DNA [Ep. 4.3a] [Impious Monk]

[StrawberryCheese83]

Great Update. I ve enjoyed every second of it...but...it is a real shame Jamie got such a little Screentime....and then IM didn t even granted the MC and Jamie a kiss!?!? Come on....that hurts...you can t drag it out any longer....

Nevertheless...it was awesome. I am so pumped to see how the Story continues...



btw @IM : Netflix called. They approved the Story. You have to deliver 1 Hour of Gameplay every week, so they can turn this into a TV Serie...

Remember :



Keep pushing!

I've seen some games have filler before. But this one takes the cake. Armin and the bear-suit story is long, arduous, and there's really no point of it except to distract from a drunk Jamie. But funny as shit.

So so, but at least wanting to have a talk with him is reasonable imo. This guys life (solomon hobbs) was so utterly fucked up from the get go, it would probably at least a interesting conversation simply for the purpose of how someone became a monster like that lol

Lethal injection would be reasonable, unfortunately this is the State of California so that's out of the question. I suppose life in prison with no right of parole will have to suficie. That way some psychologist will have all the time in the world to talk about how his fucked up childhood lead him to brutally beat three women to death.

I periodically get notifications that a special render has been uncovered. But when I check the "renders" under the "extras" on the main menu, there isn't anything new. Just the 4 renders for that episode. Where do I find these new renders I get notified about? Or are they all pre-loaded by the mod?

 

[John972]

We were even shown the empty appartment (if you knock), Clay wasnt there. The covid stuff was just the excuse Clay made up to the hospital about why he wont be around.

I suspect he simply went into hiding mode as Andras and Red Cobra are aware of him being alive now for his own safety (or for colleen's?) orrr he's up for vengance again (but i doubt it).

I joke that Clay somehow faked the DNA test result.

After all, he's been forced from his relatively normal life into hiding because Rockford mindlessly outed his identity to the very people who once tried to kill him.

With sons like that, who needs enemies.

You're using a mod which presumably already unlocks the renders. The notification is part of the base game for players who haven't unlocked the renders yet.

um…I literally created a just Jamie route, and she still didn’t kiss me when I tried. Is there anyway for that to change? I’m honestly confused lol

Afaik she will never kiss you until the end of episode 4.

Ok good. Because I finished my other routes and finished episode 4. When she didn’t kiss me, I thought I fucked up somewhere haha

You technically don't "find" these renders. Unlocking them triggers automatically when you complete specific scenes on specific LI paths - one special render per LI per episode. Also, I don't think the triggers are persistent. If you replay the game or start playing from an earlier save, you will still receive new notifications for previously unlocked special renders.

 

[John972]

Yeah shes like the picture-perfect wifey for this kind of idyll



Lmao, dont forget Malena being pissed at him and telling him to fuck off for no reason from his pov

Even more "funny" if you were on the Emmeline and Jamie route at the same time.

But im sure Cassie will manage that Jamie drops her reasoning and rationale/mature decision i feel like 50% of the reason of cassie's existance is to show how jealous and possessive jamie is lol. As soon as rockford calls Cassie, harvard can go fuck themselfes

Yeah, the points you make remind me how incredibly important it is to pay attention to the title cards that appear at the start of each fresh day, otherwise subtle context can be lost.

Ep 4 ends on the evening of day 51 after skipping several days - something easily missed. That means Malena has remained pissed at Rockford for quite a while, since she hasn't made contact.

With Jamie, the deadline to accept the job offer came and went during the time skip in the story. That means Jamie having a sudden change of heart before accepting the new job is now out of the question.

With Jamie's apparent jealousy of Cassie, there's a cool line from a TV show that kinda explains Jamie's current conflicted attitude to a tee...

Jamie "dwants" Rockford - that is, she doesn't want Rockford herself but also doesn't want anyone else to have him either.

She may not consciously realize this, but it comes out when her expressions betray her emotions while watching Rockford/Cassie together.

All this may seem like fluff, but that's part of the pleasure in reflecting on a well-written story with believable characters.

Um... where on earth did you get the impression that Jamie didn't want Rockford?

 

[Chillout1984]

Somehow I got the feeling we could have a sex scene with Cassie already considering the way she spoke and was dress, just as her way to persuade/blackmail Rockfort into running as senator.

I'm glad the dev didn't go this cheap and "easy" route (yet), although it might be in his character while being on the dick route, as he also had no problems having sex with the students.

They should be persistent. If you do get the new notifications again for the renders, please let me know.

 

[Rayadito]

i don't remember if i've ever cried with a game here before, this is the first one, it's a really good game, very good story, i know it's used to have a considerable amount of lewd scenes in the games here but this is for me what they should all be like, a good story and the rest is just extra

 

[John972]

OK. I know for sure that the bonus scene notification at the end of Ep 4 is not persistent because I've had it come up several times on subsequent playthroughs, especially on different paths. Assume the special render notifications are persistent unless confirmed otherwise. I had notifications pop up on subsequent playthroughs but didn't take much notice of them, so I don't know for sure if any were already unlocked.

 

[John972]

Um, she chose advancing her career over Rockford by the end of Ep 4. Yes, she is conflicted about it but she clearly made her choice. If you look at the things she said previously, she kinda spent a year hoping Rockford would both open up his emotions and see her more than just a friend. She gives the impression she was happy to stay as a "lowly" assistant DA for a while longer in the hope Rockford would come around. Then, a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity came up, forcing her to make a choice.

I have to disagree with you here. Jamie loves our MC more than anything, but our stupid MC doesn't see it. He's the problem, not her! Trevor puts it so succinctly to her: "Why do you let him treat you like a little sister?" She has to go because otherwise she would destroy herself. His reaction to her revelation that she's leaving is not what she would have expected. He was really happy about her great job offer. There was no sign that he would miss her. He doesn't see her as a woman to love yet. At some point he will also realize that there is someone missing in his life. The question is: "When will he realize it???"

It's clear Rockfort is just putting up a front about that he's so happy for her, and you can be damn sure Jamie knows it (at least if you're on the Jamie route). There was a sign that he would miss her: that he needed to think about how best to react.
Jamie is just sad that Rockfort put his walls back up again after she blocked him, and not trying to convince even a little for her to stay.
