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

[MilesEdgeworth]

The sad truth is:

1. everybody thinks that the new episode 10-11 minigames are really annoying except DrPinkCake - they are a fucking chore;

2. Main Love Interests paths in episodes 9-11 are too short. Too damn short.

IMHO, the Biggest problem in episode 11 - storywise - is that the Main Girls party at Bella's (Josy, Maya, Sage and Jill at Bella's) SHOULD have been much more different according to the path you chose.

Most of all, Jill's and Bella's behaviour should have radically changed if you were on their paths (either Jill's or Bella's). It doesn't, and it doesn't make sense, in my opinion.

So, instead of wasting time on pointless animations - like the one with Sage in the getting your nails done scene - he should have worked more on the story, for chrissake!

Honestly feels like Sage and Jill would've been at the underwear party if they were dating Tremolo. But I get it, the process was long enough without adding more screens. Probs the same reason that the behavior doesn't wildly vary.

Im assuming his patron must love those games. Otherwise DPC would be wasting a huge chunk of time trolling his paying customers

Careful speaking for everyone. I for one actually enjoy them. Do I suck at the party planning? Yeah kinda, but I think it's fun. But yes this game balances a bit more on the game side than the porn side. But you can choose to not do minigames right?

Lily felt a little like a main girl this episode, it was great, her guard being let down since as early as episode 7 I think
Huge advancements this episode with her

It was at this moment, the rolling wheels flew straight off into the abyss

i'm intrigued to see where this goes. I kinda suspect that fucking her gently will lead to MC chasing her, while telling Sage you don't want more, will lead to her chasing MC

 

[Akkarin69]

Yeah. I have one playthrough with minigames on and then I skip through it on all the others, but they aren't all that bad and I enjoyed some of them.

 

[osculim]

Would be extremely out of character for her. Nothing about her character as written could be interpreted as vindictive in anyway.

Wouldnt shock me though.

Nah I think if she is capable of telling MC that she does not care he is in a relationship she is perfectly capable of doing that to make him jealous.

 

[osculim]

After I was embarrassed with that stupid brawler minigame. I had to resort to cheating. No alpha will be taking my 2 dollars.

 

[Lagunavii]

There is a Bianca path variable for ep11 which is not modified at all? Is this a bug or just an unused variable but effective from next episode?

Ive looked at this. There's nothing in the code that actually flags it from False to True so it's not a bug. An unused variable that getting used next episode is unlikely. Id imagine in that case it would be called ep_12_bianca_path. It's possible that it should have been flagged to true in Tommy's room and DPC just forgot, but that also seems unlikely. Overall we don't know what that variable is and it's fucking annoying.

 

[Lagunavii]

My biggest complaint is that it feels like Zoey choice has inexplicably robbed the player of their agency. I like Zoey as a character. I like her design and her backstory and her connection to Tremolo. But DPC has forced her relationship on the character and there doesnt seem to be an option to just be friends

To be fair if you get the Zoey choice the MC hasn't exactly jumped through hoops to get it, but you have made choices that do bring you closer to her. My only complaint is that even if the only wrong choice you make is Jacob. You'll still meet the requirements... Hang on he's told a friend to make a move, he's clearly not interested like that.

Still you're right. It's either accept her or reject her...and if you didn't make the points it's reject her default. There's no middle ground. That is a little sucky.

We tie up Magnar and cuck him

I don't mind the minigames, but my god the science one does not like my laptop at all. The maths on is very tedious and I preferred the season1/2 one

It's the freeroams I can do without. They're getting long and drawn out. Like the Xmas decorating one,i understand why it's there, but there has to be a better way to get that across than bouncing round the Dik Mansion and Hot House

 

[kirikirifan]

why do many think the game has gotten worse with ep10&11?
havent got time to play the update yet but I dont even remember ep10 very well to be honest.

Come on, you start to hate them after a few gameplays.

You can choose to not do minigames, BUT it isn't wise because it punishes you in terms of the story narrative. Just think about what happens if you don't play the mansion minigame.

The mansion game is just one. I highly doubt we would see another minigame with any real impact on the game

1. everybody thinks that the new episode 10-11 minigames are really annoying except DrPinkCake - they are a fucking chore;

They are a fucking chore indeed, especially when you are forced to play them again and again when exploring different branches.

That's why I just modify the code to have te maximum result by just one click.
Seriously. It's the only thing to do.
It's a game, it should entertain me - not bore me to death!

Yeah. I know they can be turned off... But:

1) Without cheating you can turn them off only by starting a new game. No way I'm going to redo all from scratch for the 1024th time.

2) if you play with mini games turned off, then some possibilities become dependent on some apparently unrelated choices or become random or hard coded by DPC.
It has happened with Rusty's car. With no mini games the only way to save it is turning down the VIP pass. WTF?
So I don't want to risk to lock me out of some content in the future because of similar questionable design choices.

Well as we established last night getting good results in exams, parties etc is the key to finally getting balls deep in Nikita. A reward for the minigames is coming

Yeah, but you cannot turn them off individually.

So...

 

[Ottoeight]

I might argue that the new episode 10-11 brawler game in the gym is part and parcel of the main storyline...

Worth it.
FUCKING WORTH IT
