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

[f96zonetrooper]

Also on a side not, I have NO IDEA why but you cannot progress with Camilla if you told Derek that you fucked Jade in ep4. I didn't really investigate why but that's the case. Any clarifications would be appriciated.

The script line for Camila is :

if (branchAlone or branchSage) and not ep4_toldDerekAboutJade:

On first glance this does not make sense since Camila is not involved in the story about Jade's divorce and the sex tape.

However if you look at the scenes before the Camila scene in class, then "ep4_toldDerekAboutJade" triggers the event with Jade before class where she tells mc about the sex tape, the divorce and slaps him several times in the face. I suppose that the shock of this event causes mc to skip dialog and possible flirt with Camila so that mc misses the lewd scene with Camila.

mc "It's not you... You just caught me on a bad day. Let's study."

Without crowdfunding what did you do in thanksgiving party?
I remeber it's a pain in the ass because the sum of the activities is 12$ and with only 8$ it's difficult to make everyone happy

This was my Thanksgiving board. Perks at the time were Pink WeiB and DIK Party.

I wasn't able to max out all the activities, but that doesn't matter that much. There's no difference between New Alcohol and Leftover Alcohol in terms of how it directly affects your score (you get 1,000 base points for each); the only difference is a few more DIKs get a small happiness boost. The same is actually true for all Activities that cost money. If it costs money, you get 1,000 points; if it's free you get 0 points. So it pays to spent at least some in each Activity category.

There's some luck involved also though. Your 4 pieces of starting inventory is randomized and at this point I was able to have 1 Drug, 1 Keg, 2 Liquor, and 2 Speakers due to having a good starting inventory set at Episode 9.

Bro no jokes Amelia needs to happen, she can replace the next Madame scene

Madame won't get another scene next episode....right???

Amelia wouldn't happen at any point, I don't think. I mean think about it...She's already married and she's in the stage of her life where she doesn't quite care about carnal pleasures anymore. She's a businesswoman and mother.

Not every attractive character you meet - mature or young - is there for the MC to sleep with, or for lewd content to exist for them.

 

[SWRD]

At this point, realistically i think Cinderella's route is shaping up to be the best route for MC where he's genuinely happy.

- Maya/Josy: Whoever he ends up choosing, he'll always live with the doubt that they might still be in love with the other.
- Bella: Married teacher with possible mental issues.
- Jill: She's a sweet girl, but being too rich might present family issues and feelings of inferiority.
- Sage: Depends on the situation with Jade. Would had been perfect if there was no drama with her mom.
- Quinn: Drug dealer.
- Zoey: Ex girlfriend who ran off and caused him mental anguish.

Bottom line is, bring Cinderella home and make Neil proud.

how do you trigger the pack quest in josy maya route?

 

[Lagunavii]

There was nothing wrong with sancho's mod. The dude just vanished. The same cannot be said for scrappy. I have nothing against the dude. His other mods are fine. But his BADIK mod is a mess. I had a look at it. Points you to wrong things etc. URM is great I must agree with you. The fact that it leaves no footprint is big plus.

I've no issues with mods at all, at the end of the day if you want to ruin the experience by getting told what choices to make all power to you, (even if with Scrappy you're pointed to the wrong one) but if youre just sick of the minigames, want a bit of extra caah... There's better ways out there. And while the state of this place with the "my game crashes here" after x moment do not annoy methey do become tiresome. I just think we should be discouraging the use of scrappy at every opportunity

 

[d2dacameron]

Oh it definitely impacts conversations and scenes. And can cut off some side routes (Elena being an obvious one) depending on how you handled what happened.

I know the BJ is negative for the DIKs but do you think that it will also be negative for future Heather content?

Don't say that, I haven't gave up hope yet

I can feel it, any episode now we're going back to MacAllens to meet her

I really like her to but whats up with this hyperbole about her here lol? we heard her talk like 3 sentences so far

Bella path: good, but short. We deserve more!​

Even though Bella's unique scenes were given much less attention compared to Sage and Jill's paths: her route in the update feels shorter - Bella was given a lot of attention in the main storyline.
It's cool to see Bella become a friend and mentor to the whole gang of MGs and MC with Derek. And you know, it feels so natural that it doesn't feel like a far-fetched plot when Maya and her problems brought them all together. Bella goes from being a shadow recluse with death glare, remembering her past self, enjoying to relaxing and feeling great in the company of new friends. Her house even becomes a kind of headquarters for gathering together and parties. In this update, the "wild Bella" is fully revealed and we see her party side. Bella's party is no worse than DIKs, and if you're on the main Lis paths, it's even more fun. Almost naked party with all MGs together? Thank you, Bella. It was an unforgettable experience.
Look at her having fun! She's completely different person now.

What I was disappointed with was that Bella's unique scenes were short, if you take out the trip with Jill (which is Bella and Jill's shared content) there's not much content left. So far MC and Bella's relationship hasn't made a huge leap from Ep10, but our guy is finally not afraid to ask her questions and is more comfortable with her. We learn a little about Bella's past, her parents dying in a car accident, we get some sweet and heartfelt scenes, we see MC becoming more comfortable with Bella and not feeling weird. The chemistry between them is funny and they constantly poke fun at each other.
I love her sense of humor and have collected the best moments. Always laugh at her jokes, they are making the game more fun, impossible to disagree that Bella's lines/pranks are the best:

Their relationship contrasts interestingly between sweet and warm, with a key moment when Bella zips up his jacket, showing concern, and a kinky side with the same moment where she whispers to him in hot tube what she should do with him. Lewd scenes with her are some of the best in the update, as in previous updates - I don't know what it's connected with, but DPC gets inspired when doing Bella's scenes - they are dynamic, passionate and don't look like his typical sleeping DAZ slo-mo.

They're still trying to figure out how they work together and it's too early for "I love you" considering their maturity difference and pressure their illegal relationship is under. And the potential for disaster: Josy overheard Bella and Jill talking about their relationship and blabbing to Sage, and Nick the rat snitching on MC that "he's fucking the librarian" in front of the whole frat. Sooner or later, it will be revealed. Trying to hope for the best, Bella is a wonderful woman and I didn't want it to end in disaster, which is possible because the tone of the game has changed to dark. Their relationship will be tested in Episode 12, we will learn the main secret Bella has been hiding because the door has finally been opened. I'm guessing the season finale will be Bella-centric and we will get a lot of unique content with her, and finally will hear the main three words. In 18 months...

Hope you will enjoy the review, Better Cock Spock

You're the only one capable of writing a good review.

 

[Lagunavii]

the lab girl might get together with MC

Which Lab girl are you referring too here, there is at least 3 you could be referring too.
Nora
Sally
Hot Yoga Girl/Thirsty Ghoul/Cinderella/Nikita

 

[Yellowie The Goldie]

I really like her to but whats up with this hyperbole about her here lol? we heard her talk like 3 sentences so far

People are just smitten with her lol. She comes across as nice, fun, and doesn't take things too seriously. She doesn't sleep around (or so it's implied) like other people do and that elevates her status as a potential girl to date.

To summarise: she is Josy if Josy didn't have all of the baggage that she carried around.

I just think we should be discouraging the use of scrappy at every opportunity

I don't use the mods except URM for small things like that stupid brawler minigame. When I talk about the other two mods I am more talking about quality. 99% of the problems skips and jumps and crashes are because of scrappy's mod. I can't in good faith recommend that mod to anyone that likes to use mods. The fact that he charges people for it is pretty sus.

This probably depends on the paths you play and your taste for girls.

If you are dating Jill or Bella, the love quadruple mc - Jill - Bella - Bianca seems possible ...
Currently (after playing the ski resort event) I rate Bianca > Cinderella ...

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Honestly, I think the main "problem" is that it's the penultimate episode, DPC loves drama (especially leading into a Season finale), and without the loan issue there wasn't a ton of drama remaining in the throuple other than Maya and Josy's personal issues. It would not surprise me at all if the JM drama this episode was to keep things from getting "boring", but it does also make sense from a development and narrative perspective to focus on it now that the loan is resolved. How many of the other main girl paths had some drama this episode? I've not played them all, but I know at least a few did.

From a development branching perspective, having one "path" in this Episode for multiple different outcomes in future Episodes is efficient. It's easier to just have one path this Episode where issues arise and then perhaps split into branches later on depending on the resolution than it is to have multiple branches already where on one path everything's sunshine and rainbows and on the other path there's trouble brewing. This is particularly true since there's so much other branching already in the game.

It also make sense narratively to show the issues this episode no matter what. Regardless of if the throuple can be saved or not, the issues that could lead to a breakup have been there this entire time. If it can be saved, it makes sense to show the problems and then how they are "solved" rather than to just gloss over their issues entirely. Assuming the throuple can be saved, showing issues to resolve essentially shows the reader the "bullet" they dodged. Seeing problems and then saving the relationship can lead to a feeling of accomplishment in the reader, whereas not seeing any problems in the first place would not as much.

Of course, this is the same dev that made AL, so who knows. Maybe he'll doom the throuple path no matter what again. I've already expressed my feelings on that here though, so won't repeat myself.

Thanks for the notes. I'm planning to write a review of Throuple soon and your notes are very good.

You're the only one capable of writing a good review.

I noticed this a year ago Sometimes they are putting the thread on fire.
Thank you Hakuna.

If she ends up being a Trojan Horse there's going to be a lot of tears being shed round here

Well, he releases his mods a day earlier for patrons and his lowest tier is 2$, after that one day the mod goes public for everyone.
