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

[mindern]

I'm definitely not supporting Maya or Josy. They are both childish when it come to how they react to their own relationship. However, Josy didn't ignore Maya's text's, her dad had taken her phone remember? Granted they are both cheaters, like the majority of LI's and the MC in this game so not sure if there is hope for any of the relationships. DPC couldn't have designed a better system for self destructing relationships if he had tried, unless that's what he did and we don't comprehend that yet. Who knows.

She did clarify she at least wouldn’t have responded. She got the texts and saw how they got meaner and explained how she didn’t have any way to respond.

She also contacted the MC long before Maya. Maya had no idea she got into B&R and that was after she got her phone back.

She might not have ghosted her for long but after she did get her phone back her response was to ignore the messages, not tell her partner she was coming to her university and make plans to live with MC. It wasn’t exactly a mature, communicative, response to the problems they were having.

 

[Tserriednich'sNen]

Its a fair question to ask, after all her being with MC in first place was as much circumstance as organic as she openly asked him not to all for her, was emotionally weak from Josey drama and all whilst under incredible pressure from her fathers views and of course needing the HOTs funding (and the things she didn't want to do to obtain that).

Im not sure there can be Jill/Bella triangle at end of the day... on Jills side more so than Bella. Bella has engaged in threesomes with Jade, was pro supporting Jill/MC romance and has shown great tolerance of the MCs action already even before he grew on her romantically speaking but I cant see Jill from what weve seen of her be into the idea of sharing as her views on relationships are already at an all time low after past experiences never mind one where shes weirdly not the princess in her story and shes cited clearly she gave up on love as people acted different around others vs when they were just with her. She wont want an MC she loves so much to be anything but that and yet can be be that if he loves Bella too and in full sight of Jill. Unlike the other triangle there isnt romantic interest between them either - itd have to be a pure sharing the MC path and that doesnt fit the Chick sentiments of Jill what so ever. She will accept him going with Bella over her im sure even if it hurts her but not both of them IMO.

Bella never engaged in any threesome with Jade you need to re read that scene in Episode 3 again.

It seems pretty clear that following the intervention of Maya's father, the Maya/Josy relationship was headed for a breakup.

It seems equally likely that the MC/Maya/Josy relationship could likewise crash and burn if the three parties involved don't do enough to keep it stable: they more or less say so themselves in the picnic. The question is if we (the player) make the correct choices, will that be enough to make a go of the polyamorous relationship?

As I said, I'm giving 60% at the moment. While the three clearly have issues with the relationship they need to work out, they do seem to be aware of that and are trying to address the problems. I take that as a positive sign, as far as that goes.

When you get right down to it, Jill is the only one of the LIs who is on track for a 'healthy' relationship with the MC, and that's because she's flat out insisted on taking it slow and steady. Otherwise, M&J are tangled, Sage is living in denial, and Bella is a total mess.

Since I presume it will be possible to get a happy ending with each LI, I take these the problems as an indication we have a lot of game left to go, not that the relationships are doomed. So I'm not going to panic over the bad start M&J got off to. Not yet, anyway.

Probably assumed it would be easier to have the conversation in person rather than over the phone. I can see her point. I don't think any of the relationships are what I would consider healthy, neither are the people IMO. Most of them are a little extreme as far as their standing on the spectrum but it is a game so.....

I agree with ename144 From the perspective of "healthy" Jill's is about the closest one and that's only from Jill's side of it. The MC is a total cad and IRL I would end up digging a hole if I caught him near my daughter.

Quinn? With her inclusion in the games header I have to wonder if she's a legitimate LI as well. Or maybe just the evil black widow? "Leah"

I gotta say too this game has more replay value than any I've played, by far. Fucking AdDIKtive!

 

[FlipFish]

I think you'll have to eventually choose between Maya and Josy if you're doing the threesome stuff. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it seems like both of them want the protagonist more than they want each other and this might lead to some jealousy depending on which one you spend more time with.

What happened to LisaRepacks's android version v0.5.0 ? I know it was here some time ago but now I can't seem to find it.Why did it get removed ?

Also is there any uncompressed port v0.5.1 for android ?

 

[Templar Knight]

I don't even think it will be possible to carry on the triangle with Maya and Josy ... but hope is lawful


I don't think a harem ending will be possible, the doubt is whether it will be possible to carry on all the stories (the main 5) to the end and then choose, or if cuts will be made very soon

yes, i think you can have sex/love relationship with all main until near the end of the game,there you have to choose who you will stay,in my play i choose sage because i think is the best option for me.

 

[OhTheLove]

I just finished Chapter 3... Still recovering from the shock, I honestly did not expect that to be the situation. Now where do I go? Derek, Sage, or Bella... Mmmmm, let's do this. This VN is freaking awesome, did not expect this level of drama, I'm loving it.

 

[OhTheLove]

So, let's rather say GF !

I just discovered this today friend, still trying to get my bearings since it shocked me so much that the two girls I like are dating... This was well played.

It seems equally likely that the MC/Maya/Josy relationship could likewise crash and burn if the three parties involved don't do enough to keep it stable: they more or less say so themselves in the picnic. The question is if we (the player) make the correct choices, will that be enough to make a go of the polyamorous relationship?

If we get more of those choices between doing a Maya or Josy event, I reckon that it will come down to that; doing more with one or the other will deepen their feelings for the MC and isolate the other one, but doing an equal number with each will make both of their feelings deepen for him and strengthen the throuple.

As for M & J, they'll probably rediscover their feelings for each other and grow closer by sharing the same room and probably by doing things without the MC, which hopefully we won't have to see because that flashback scene was hard to watch. Maybe some drama will come their way that they'll have to deal with, and this could open up solo paths if the MC has done more events with one than the other and they look to him for help/comfort/reassurance. On the flip side of that, if he's done an equal amount with both then they might both come to him and it strengthens the throuple path.

I think you'll have to eventually choose between Maya and Josy if you're doing the threesome stuff. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it seems like both of them want the protagonist more than they want each other and this might lead to some jealousy depending on which one you spend more time with.

My read of it is that they both want him and they want each other too, especially Josy given her reaction to what Maya proposes in the "hangout" scene. Maya just needs some time to get her head straight and figure out if what she's feeling for the MC is real because it's so new to her, as is this idea of being with both him and Josy at the same time. So she wants to be casual because she's probably worried about committing too soon and being hurt if it doesn't work, and she wants them all to take spend more time together without "strings" to be sure it's what they all want.

Josy, on the other hand, seems to be fine with it already because she's just so happy to have both of them, but I think she understands what Maya is getting at because if they all jump in to a committed relationship with each other now and later Josy and the MC want to be with each other more than with Maya, then that'll hurt Maya later. So it's better to take time and figure out what and who they want before committing to anything.

Wait a second, you played through 7??

I suppose better change that to 5. Was recently looking at City of Broken Dreamers which is up to 7, must have got my wires crossed.

 

[mizilic]

I don't know how other people feel about this, but by all respect for the need to create a "dramatic" situation at the very beginning of this novel and for the way that situation was created and developed, that situation was in fact artificial, had not much to do with reality! On my book a lesbian relationship of my girl with another girl is NOT CHEATING!

I used to be very jealous as I was young but I would have never seen a lesbian relationship of my girl as cheating or as a threat for me. Coz there's no other DICK involved! And it is NOT MY PLACE in the heart of the girl that is taken by another girl either. A BI sexual girl can love a girl AND a man at the same time, because these are different parts of her persona. They are not "either/or" by nature! There is no "competition" in her heart between a man and a woman. They can naturally coexist!

I would have never had the denial reaction that the MC had when he found out that both girls he dates and kinda loves also date and kinda love each other. My reaction in that moment would have been in fact: YAHOOOOO, i'm a fuckin' lucky bastard! Very much like Derek's reaction when he first heard it In fact, for me this "combination" would have been PERFECT!

And the same goes for each of the 2 girls, if they are both really BI sexual (which I bet they both are, even if Maya may need some more time to agree to that fact). Their love for each other is one thing and their love for a man is another (and the fact that it's the SAME man makes things even nicer). There should be no conflict here and no need to chose one over the other. Feelings for a man and feelings for a woman do not compete, they co-exist in a BI sexual person!

As for the MC, which man in his right mind would prefer to have only ONE woman when he could have TWO? Comeon now.. really! And if all 3 participants in such a relationship are able and willing to accept the truth about it and if all have the strong wish to take care about this special relationship among them and to develop it, then it can really become PERFECT for all!

Use paragraphs pal, it's difficult to read a long wall of text

I did use paragraphs, but without a space between them. Now, for your convenience i added spaces

Agreed because beds like that slide apart and you end up slipping in between them or get mattress edges in your shoulder blade....

I guess I'm not in my right mind then. I wouldn't want either of them. Sure, I'd sleep with them but a relationship... nah, neither together or individually. Hard pass.

They're liars. I don't care if someone cheats with a man, a woman or a fucking sentient pot plant. It's cheating, and cheating is a betrayal of trust and a real, adult, relationship doesn't work without trust. I would never trust Maya/Josy. They're still lying to each other as of Ep5. Monogamy doesn't exist because of some biological imperative all cocks have a vagina that's exclusively theirs. This is about two people agreeing to exclusively be together and the genders involved are irrelevant if someone decides to operate outside of that agreement. They didn't even have a good fucking reason beyond physically being separated. Call me old fashioned but if you start going on dates with guys you barely know from work just because your partner left for University you're not "perfect".

This is just personal morality (something I know is not shared by all) but I don't trust cheaters. Same reason I don't leave my valuables with a thief or my niece around sex offenders. Past behaviour informs future behaviour. Josy may have feelings for the MC now but that kiss on that date in EP1 was off the back of nothing more than him making googly eyes at her over a few months. They barely even talked by her own admission. I wouldn't want to be with someone who's word is broken by the same level of seduction my blind dog gives the fucking washing machine because the bearings squeak and she likes to stare at it.

Josy & Maya have hurt MC before with their lying and deceitful secrecy, and if a persons hurt you once then they can do it again. I'm not sure I could make the decision to be with someone whose hurt me before.

Josy & Maya have hurt MC before with they're lying and deceitful secrecy, and if a persons hurt you once then they can do it again. I'm not sure I could make the decision to be with someone whose hurt me before.

Im all of my playthroughs I ended up with both, Josy and Maya, there is a way to choose between them?
