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

[vogelbeest]

How about Jade?
Does she have something to do with Cathy's downfall?
I remember seeing her in the teacher's room with her colleagues talking about Cathy leaving and she seems shady/satisfied
When she drops the cup in the sink looks like a "drop the mike" thing
There's also the scene with her and Cathy talking in a pub. And when shit hit the fan Cathy goes to Bella looking for some comfort.
Why not Jade who was supposedly her best friend?
Don't know why or how she is involved but maybe she created or exploited the situation to get rid of her
I can't remember reading a theory involving Jade

Jade and Cathy are friends, iirc that scene when talking to the elder teacher was about a farewell gift for Cathy and then the elder teacher offered Jade she could talk with her or something like that.... Think Jade's reaction was more that she wasn't really interested in talking about gardening and knitting or sowing tips but genuinely will be missing Cathy.

About Cathy going to Bella, yeah that might have hurt, but that's because she dislikes Bella because Stephen wants Bella and ignores Jade, and if that's not the reason she dislikes Bella, it's certainly not helping. Most important is if Jade was to take action against anyone it would make alot more sense if it was against Bella.

Bella is less likely to sit at the same table for lunch as Jade and Stephen now Cathy is gone, but at what cost?

There is tension between Cathy and Jade. Jade is jealous when Stephen agreed with Cathy when they talked about the Chad stuff. Jade also suspects or perhaps knows that Stephen and Cathy are fucking.

Definitely a motive.

Seems to me there's tension between Jade and Stephen, nothing more. Unless she is literally batshit crazy and goes after any female that Stephen looks at, but that's just a school shooting waiting to happen. Stephen wants Bella, has already scored 3 female students and whatever else he does or who he looks at, he's certainly ignoring Jade...

It's a clear explanation why she acts like she does with MC, it's a reason to cheat, perhaps it's even a reason to accidently run over Stephen with her car 5 or 6 times, but i don't see much reason for her to expose Cathy when there's no proof she even did anything with Stephen.

Ok but what if it's Stephen who use his connection to the dik laptop to post the photo ? (in order to separate Cathy and Jade)

Wholesome SFW moment. Jacob and Friend

View attachment 1733523

You think Jacob stumbling on MC's encounters is a running joke, or an alibi for when he is eventually exposed as the big bad traitor? 'See he was always there, thats how he knows stuff'.

I would hate if that was the case, him and Rusty. With JB it would be extremally hard to pull of a good twist, Tommy being the impostor doesn't add anything positive to his story, so to my mind it has to be between Nick, Jamie, or Leon.

Unless the traitor is just a blissfully ignorant pawn in someone else's endgame.

 

[NebulousShooter]

What is wrong with "(You cheating bastard!)" to understand?

Did you play Interlude? Emma also posted the revenge cluck without evidence and she's not even Bret in a relationship.

Women!!!

 

[vogelbeest]

Ok but what if it's Stephen who use his connection to the dik laptop to post the photo ? (in order to separate Cathy and Jade)

Stephen ends up with the Jade vid too, so he is a party in alot of the events on campus. But we never see what exactly is his role so it's alot speculation. Why would he do it? To isolate Jade? Or to get Bella on the disciplinary committee? Could be, but it's not like he really gets anything from it as far we can see now. But it would mean there is a possible link between the Cathy cluck and the Jade vid but since that Jade vid only happens due to MC decisions it seems alot more logical the Cathy cluck is connected to the Jock blackmail...

What is wrong with "(You cheating bastard!)" to understand?

Nothing, but knowing Jade doesn't get any, Cathy doesn't get any (she's on swiper for exactly that reason) and knowing Stephen gets of somewhere (atleast 3 students plus whatever else) there's just not any proof Jade even suspects Stephen is cheating with Cathy, she just expects him to cheat every chance he gets... That's no reason to push Cathy in front of a bus, that's reason to push Stephen.

Nah, from that Scene, the winner is definitely this View attachment 1733340

And this from another moment , because I have been waiting for something like this for so long.

Still, would have been better if it's MC's hand mark that is on Josy's ass

Well I can't disagree with anything from that scene one of the best non sex moments in the game Second if Mc going to leave his mark on Josy the best girl's ass it should be at the Halloween party so everyone knows that she My girl

Questions and Theories.

Bret, Emma, and Isabella were friends, maybe friends+, during high school.

Emma has a tattoo of Isabella on her right arm and something that could represent Bret on her left arm. You don't get tattoos like that for no reason. I'm also curious what the old man's tattoo is all about.

Bret might also have something to do with the locked door in Isabella's house. He has a keyhole tattoo on his right thumb. The MC only looks through a keyhole twice in the entire game. In EP2, when he is in Isabella's house, and in EP5, when Jill and Isabella are changing for yoga. In addition, Bret might also know what's behind the locked door. And why? There is a key tattooed on the thumb of his right hand. A key opens doors.

That's the universal sign of the international order of peeping Toms....

I hope everyone's excited about the weekend. To kick it off, I have an announcement to make.

I've been working on a side project lately since last year's survey showed me who you wanted to see more of.

And today, I can proudly announce a new project named Being a Dawe, with a story centered around the jocks' struggle on campus.



You'll see some familiar lovable faces like Dawe, Chad, and Anthony, and not to mention popular girls like Arieth and background character #2.

There will also be a new character named April, last name Fools.

Haha, I hope I got some of you with that, but I doubt it.

Development news
This week I worked mainly on static renders. I've focused on Josy/Maya, Others, and Jill branches. Sage and Bella already got similar treatment before this.

The current progress is ~800 static renders and 40 animations.

We're still very early on in development, yet ironically we have surpassed the produced content of the Interlude now.

I've almost reached a point where I will focus on free-roam events and lewd scenes for several weeks. I have many, oh so many, planned animations to pose. So, I hope you'll be ok with hearing me ramble about that for a while.

But first, I will isolate myself and write as much dialogue as possible this next week. I need more written material to continue creating art.

Poll news
Josy was the winner in the last week's poll. She will receive a Special render set in episode 9.

She hasn't gotten a Special render set since Episode 1, so I'm very excited about making a new one for her; it's been long overdue, and I will do my best.

Have a nice weekend

Being a Dawe is the game that I didn't want, but never knew I needed.

Poor Dawe! Been to the hair dresser, got a clean set of clothes, he even shaved his legs and took his annual shower...

But too bad for me i'm to old for this disney's love story

Think this would've been a cute SFW moment if they weren't practically naked
View attachment 1733361

Cute moments with Bella are kind of hard to come by. The most eligible one I found for that was:
View attachment 1733358 View attachment 1733359

They're hard to come by because Bella is not "cute."

I had no idea Sweet Caroline was a thing at sporting events across the pond. I've seen that singalong over the years mostly during Red Sox games.

Wait a gotdang second

Is that a HOLE in the watermelon?

Why? What would compel some evil bastard to put this fruit desecration in the game?

Why are you so surprised? It's in the tags:

Nothing, but knowing Jade doesn't get any, Cathy doesn't get any (she's on swiper for exactly that reason) and knowing Stephen gets of somewhere (atleast 3 students plus whatever else) there's just not any proof Jade even suspects Stephen is cheating with Cathy, she just expects him to cheat every chance he gets... That's no reason to push Cathy in front of a bus, that's reason to push Stephen.

Jade laid it out when she told the story of Stephen coming home drunk one night. Here are some excerpts:
