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

[L1m1tl3ss]

I don't know how much but there’s definitely some DPC all up in Fuckface. All the talk about ma emoshuns and every woman except Quinn fawning over him for it is very DPC, guy loves his emotions. No one has told him been over emotional can be just as off putting and unhealthy as a lack of it. Women also aren't all just gagging to have every feeling you feel expressed, been turned into drama or analyzed 24/7 because that can just become exhausting. You can also tell he is an older guy writing teenagers, the barbecue for example in the modern age a bunch of young people aren't going to a party and handing out anti drugs warnings over mushrooms and weed At.A.PARTY, that's pure Dad energy. I'm not even sure that'd have happened often in the 70s or 80s.

I don't think a creator taking from themselves for characters is necessarily bad it can in fact add a realness to that character. However, taking your own real thoughts and views and putting them on characters can also lead to that "this is not how someone would talk, react, think or feel in this situation" vibe and BAD strays into that territory at times. I mostly like the MC but he has flaws in how he is written.

To be fair I think that's an unavoidable part of writing, some that read are just going to view things wildly different from the author.

Most of my own problems with the MC come from how inconsistent his behavior is at times and I think that's just partly because of how much DPC writes his own traits into the character of the MC. This is also oftentimes highlighted by the Affinity and Status of the MC which are supposed to shape his personality, but regardless of whether the MC is a 'DIK' or 'CHICK', he'll still regularly make decisions where you as the player are given no choice and DPC just goes with what he thinks is best for the situation. There's no problem with that at all, it's inevitable that the game will have moments like that, but when most of those moments happen to be overdramatized often awfully cringey scenes where the MC is continuously apologizing to the extent of other characters noting it, it just feels very forced and is in my opinion one of the biggest flaws in the writing of Tremolo.

Tremolo as a character is extremely unbalanced. In one scene he behaves like an ordinary teenager who is only interested in sex and alcohol, and in another scene he behaves like an adult 30-year-old man. If DPС wants to present Being a DIK as a novel about growing up, something like Over the Tale in the Rye, but it unfortunately doesn't work that way. I don't see the character's reasons or motivations for behaving one way or the other.
For example, why did MC reject Sage in ep6? That's what a 30-40 year old man would do who wants to go from “fuck buddies” status and putting the girl in front of a choice of “either this or nothing”. It's a position of strength, but he is incapable of it because he's never acted that way before. It's not clear why he decided to go to the next level so suddenly, he didn't have any thoughts or conversations with his father or Derek about it, he just suddenly decided.

MC canonically always acts like a CHICK, before every fight he reflects on how his father did not teach him to fight for that reason, then it is our decisions that force this contrast to which the branching and writing of DPC does not always allow to develop.

MC is written as a good child who always thinks about what is right to do and always feels responsible for whatever happens

Honestly i was expecting for the story to focus more on quinn and her dark past but guess not yet?

 

[felicemastronzo]

That's not true. MC remembers his father only selectively and when he needs to back up his own actions.
Did he remember his father when he was smoking pot on the roof? Did he remember his father when he fucked a teacher and subconsciously knew it was wrong? Did he remember his father when he bought himself a prostitute?
He only remembers him when he needs to deal with his hearts problems (follow your heart). Apparently it was his heart that told him to do drugs and get mixed up with Quinn, the pimp and junkie.

in fact I didn't write that
as an example of MC being a chick I wrote that before fights he thinks of his father and to what he taught them

For "follow your heart" he calls it right back to Neil, it's not like it's a memory of him

 

[strangelandQQ]

get mixed up with Quinn, the pimp and junkie.

any downsides?

Hey all,

I made some chat bots with the 5 main girls here:

Please let me know if you have any feedback

 

[hakuna-matata]

I'm not being self righteous at all, just explaining what I had to do when I had the same problem with the episode 10 update. What you do after is your own choice, but why bother with the mods when DPC is just gonna put blocks in every update to try and stop people using mods.

It gets moded a few days after every episode is released. You just need patients. DPC doesn't want people to use mods for whatever reason. It doesn't mean it can't moded.

[KiwamiLorenzo]

Hey, anyone's got a Torrent for the latest version? Been ages since I played this VN.

 

[Ayaya5578]

do you mean that ep10 somehow banned all the mods or?

ok so i downloaded the game again with nothing installed, just the save files from the first page, and it still force quit just right after the first line of ep10 D:

Alady Boys: Civil War.

Sounds like a porn name

 

[Woketard]

For a perfect Sage path, should I tell her Chad's secret in EP8 or not?

 

[Better Cock Spock]

If you don't tell her, she'll give you a bj, but remain utterly clueless.
If you tell her, she'll appreciate that you came through for her, and try to figure out what to do now, but otherwise there's no lewd.

I always tell her, but besides a later scene with her and Chad, there isn't really any consequence.

 

[Tserriednich'sNen]

For a perfect Sage path, should I tell her Chad's secret in EP8 or not?

I would definitely recommend telling her Chad's secret. Keeping something like that a secret from someone you end up getting serious with probably isn't a good idea. Plus if there's one person who seriously deserves to know it'd be her.

 

[Better Cock Spock]

In the 4 months since Episode 10 released, I don't think I've ever seen this mentioned. But then again, this entire thread is like the horny fever dream of a madman, so maybe I missed it amongst all the theories, memes, and Joshy's cummy kisses.

If you have sex with Maya during the dorm party in Episode 8, you leave behind the bottle of booze next to the teacher's desk/podium/whatever it is, and Dr. Dick's syllabus from the board. Then alllllllll the way in Episode 10, it turns out absolutely no one noticed either piece of evidence of your fun sexy time with Princess Vicky until Bella needed to write something on the board. Like even if you are as generous as possible with the timeline, there's no fucking way no else stumbled on this shit in the meantime.

Let's cheat and compress as much as possible, to see if any of it makes sense (it really won't):

1. Day after the party, Fuckface gets a haircut, then the gender studies final, and later is planning the Halloween party with Sage and Quinn, plus a threesome if you're awesome enough. Let's say this is Thursday (maybe it actually is Thursday, but who cares), to utilize the weekend and stall for time. 1 DAY.
2. Friday. The math and English exams are not in the classroom you fucked Maya in. If you're dating Bella she invites you over on Saturday, which is tomorrow (it really isn't, but bear with me). Tonight is the recital, and if you didn't help Jill then you're a monster. 2 DAYS.
3. Saturday. After seeing just about everyone you boned all in one place last night, the MC decides on his dream girl/s. You talk to Sage, later that evening is the date with Bella/running to Jill. 3 DAYS.
4. Sunday. So far the days are lined up. If you chose Bella yesterday, this morning Jill will get a free show. There's the last free roam of Season 2, the windows are finally being installed. Later tonight, the Maya Squad goes to see Sage's parents, turns out you potentially boned Jade (nice), and at the same time we find out Zoey has returned from San Diego. 4 DAYS.
5. Monday. Fuckface reunites with Zoey, he goes costume shopping with MJ/gets his dick tested/talks to Bella about Halloween and Jill/thinks about Tybalt while fucking Sage/hits up his various lovers, and plans the party with Tommy's sage advice. 5 DAYS.
6. Tuesday. It's Halloween I guess. The entire day is presumably setting up the DIK mansion, everyone getting their costumes ready, and then the party lasts all night. You break Josy's heart if you didn't choose her and Maya, as well as miss out on that hot threesome. That's a war crime. In any case, I hope you got some pussy that night, otherwise your dick goes unsucked despite having three girls in your room. 6 DAYS.
7. Wednesday. It's November 1st, no question about it. The morning is spent interacting with the various girls, playing with the stupid fucking puzzle box, cleaning the mansion, smacking Elena's ass, feeding the stupid fucking fish, and finally, we get to English class again. THE 7TH DAY.

So after a whole week, the janitor never entered this room and saw the bottle. No teacher used that classroom, or needed to write on that particular board, or looked at the floor. There wasn't even another horny couple sneaking in at night to have sex, with their own bottle and stupid sex name like Professor Cock. Thursday and Friday you can write off as examinations requiring specific rooms, so this one went unused after fucking Maya there. But Monday and Tuesday? Does Fuckface and the gang have the only class in that room? And remember, this is an incorrect timeline focused solely on trying to have as little time as possible between these two events. There is most definitely additional time that makes this otherwise funny joke even more improbable.

I demand DPC stop development on Episode 11, and go back to the last 3 episodes and correct this egregious error! I can't get wrapped up in the story or have a good fap if this one detail is always in the back of my mind. The added months of dev time will be so worth it you guys, this is more important than that one render of a bottle. I beseech you, DPC!

TL;DR

 

[felicemastronzo]

For a perfect Sage path, should I tell her Chad's secret in EP8 or not?

Why shouldn't you do that? Especially if you are interested in Sage

 

[Lethal Flourish]

For a perfect Sage path, should I tell her Chad's secret in EP8 or not?

Yes . Unless you want be in the throuple path with Chad & Troy on the next update

 

[Flynn95]

So what would the possibility be that Josy and Maya break up in the next episode?
