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

[felicemastronzo]

Yeah - I would assume a third party or two will have something to say on the matter. Like Derek who neither the MC or Maya will want to hurt but might not approve of the scenario going forward. Maybe even one of the dads? Mayas father might be all abord idea of Maya with MC given his views on homosexuality and thus drive Maya even further into it to spite him (MC after all has been her only straight interest) meaning MC has to go all in on making Maya choose him over Josey or lose them both. I dunno, seems a lot of open ended and organic ways they can create drama with this relationship here that dont end well on the sharing front especially as Pinkcake seems to approaching this with a view to being at least semi realistic storytelling and despite what people think a NON harem game (bang all you want but i doubt this will end well - hes already teased tension with MC trying to stick his thumb in all the pies even between siblings like Derek/Maya or BFFs like Bella/Jill which will only continue to grow as nobody wants anyone else to get hurt by MC if not just themselves).

Will Josey/Maya be able to differentiate their feelings for one another to be on equal footing with those towards MC?
Will Bella/Jill friendship survive when they go all the way with MC or indeed if it can survive with him still a fixture in their lives?
Will being a fuckbuddy really suffice for Sage when her feelings continue to grow, her Jealous possessive tendencies re-emerge and she actually sees first hand MC with other girls besides from her?

Im telling ya folks, this is not a harem game despite what people think. Its been given far too many layers and character depth for this to be a realistic ending. Hell even the literal morality of Dik vs Chick clearly states decisions have to be made which are final and each one closes doors permanently going further down the line so by games end your gonna have to be one, the other or decidedly neutral and thatll be your ending with ideally the girl of your choice (or more likely the girl most suited for your morality choices as Jill aint going off into sunset with no Dik nor Sage some goody two shoes Chick).

are we sure Maya can truly fall in love with a man? because the big question is that, her words are not at all reassuring in this.
Josy, on the other hand, has shown us that she can love both.

in the other triangle, much less plausible, it all depends on Bella's future, which is currently unclear

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.

perfectly agree with you on the Bella / Jill / MC triangle.

the most natural solution is for Bella to step aside if the relationship between MC and Jill becomes serious, or on the contrary she comes forward if that relationship break up without MC's particular fault

 

[Cokebaths]

jill josy maya for me. don't know why, i love jill in this game. i always take chick side because of jill. lol

I'm with you on that brother. I always find myself simping for Jill lol. Kinda hard not to

I’ve always been suspicious of the “more than friends” route with Maya/Josy. It came about too soon. We’re not gonna spend the next 10-15 episodes treading water with them living a life of happiness and rainbows with our two girlfriends waiting for all the other routes to catch up. It has to blow up.

Ontop of the reasons you said both girls have shown negative personality traits that hinder this whole thruple thing. They’re both happy to lie, they both handle relationship problems with childish behaviour. Josy ghosted Maya at various times and Maya sent spiteful, escalating, messages Josy just ignored. I can’t see them having the emotional skills to handle jealousy. If MC starts publicly dating Maya to appease her father how would Josy feel? Going from girlfriend to a couples dirty secret?

They’re 18 and barely had a functional monogamous relationship. Both ended up cheating. As much as I’ve come around on Maya/Josy as characters I still think the whole thruple thing is a false start destined to fail. I think it will branch into individual routes and someone will be left heartbroken. Doubly so if you choose the thruple and someone is left losing both.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

I'm certainly hoping we can make the MC/Maya/Josy triangle work. I know there's no guarantee, but I would really hate having to break them up to get any ending with one of them.

Like Josy, I'm trying to be optimistic. I currently give it about 60% there will be a way to end up with both of them, but even if that happens there is likely a lot of drama still to come.

The only thing that has me believing a happy ending with those 2 and the MC will definitely happen is what happened in AL; a promising throuple relationship literally burned down and the massive shitstorm that followed. People wanted that to happen so much and DPC literally killed it, so having this relationship end well would be giving the fans what they were denied in AL.

It's also the reason why I think we could see something like that with Bella and Jill as well because it gives players options about which throuple they want just in case some people don't like M&J, which we have seen a lot.

Like Derek who neither the MC or Maya will want to hurt but might not approve of the scenario going forward.

He approves of it now and he's a very simple guy so he probably doesn't really care so long as Maya's happy.

Maybe even one of the dads? Mayas father might be all abord idea of Maya with MC given his views on homosexuality and thus drive Maya even further into it to spite him (MC after all has been her only straight interest) meaning MC has to go all in on making Maya choose him over Josey or lose them both.

I reckon both Neil and Josy's Dad could be fine with it as they seem like very good, understanding parents, but Maya's Dad can get to fuck. She doesn't need him and he doesn't deserve her.

I dunno, seems a lot of open ended and organic ways they can create drama with this relationship here that dont end well on the sharing front especially as Pinkcake seems to approaching this with a view to being at least semi realistic storytelling and despite what people think a NON harem game (bang all you want but i doubt this will end well - hes already teased tension with MC trying to stick his thumb in all the pies even between siblings like Derek/Maya or BFFs like Bella/Jill which will only continue to grow as nobody wants anyone else to get hurt by MC if not just themselves).

Throuple relationships do exist in the real world, although they are rare, so it wouldn't be unrealistic to see it happen here. Plus, attitudes among young people are changing and polyamory is becoming a thing these days, so the game could reflect this by having this happen.

are we sure Maya can truly fall in love with a man?

Absolutely. If not, she wouldn't be a LI. All LIs will have endings with the MC which means she most definitely can and will fall in love with him. Hell, she may already feel some of those feelings now which is why she wants to keep things casual for now because she wants to take some time to get her head around these feelings and explore them without any pressure to totally embrace them until she's sure.

Bella has engaged in threesomes with Jade

She hasn't. They tried but she turned them down.

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.

I can see her being OK with it because Jill, Bella, and this situation reminds me of Megan and Melissa from AL; 2 friends, one who is very innocent and sweet, and the other is emotionally damaged, both falling for the same guy. The innocent, sweet girl (Megan/Jill) sees just how much the MC means to her friend (Melissa/Bella) in terms of getting her to emotionally open up and be happy, so she approves of them exploring their feelings for each other whilst also continuing her relationship with the MC and leaving it up to him to decide. In the end he chooses both and because they're such good friends, they accept and there's no jealousy between them

Furthermore, if Jill and Bella did indeed have a moment of intimacy between them as seems to be hinted at in ep 5, then perhaps this could make them more open to being part of a throuple if there are still some lingering feelings and tension there, as also seemed to be the case in ep 5. Such a thing could make them feel more at ease with both of them being in a relationship with the MC and each other because aside from being good friends, they liked what happened between them that one time more than they were willing to admit.

Maya's talk at the picnic isn't reassuring for MC. Maya lets MC continue to meet with other girls, as if to put him in a position to change his mind and get out...

MC is a very good guy but when he speaks he tends to get into trouble on his own

 

[imzahai]

Was that quote from Acting Lessons? I can't remember it from the game.

those are the MC's thoughts while kissing Bella in the library

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.

 

[assrekt]

I'm betting the room that Bella keeps locked is actually a sex dungeon. Its the only plausible explanation given her wild past and the game's lack of BDSM material since the dev is basing this game from sex comedy films.

 

[Alfagrem]

My canon walkthrough resulted in;

Isabella: Didn't pursue as she scared me.

Quinn: Just not interested.

Maya: Found out she was Derek's sister and I couldn't do that to a potential Bro - Then the girl got me hot and tasered!

Jill: Went cold on her after she went behind my back on the Chad fight

Josey: I was all in on her until forced to choose both or neither in the DIK library. Dunno if I can still win her back

Sage: My girl from the moment we met, although I do still cast the occasional glance at Sarah where I can.


Special shoutout to Arleith (even though I'm not going down that path) as she's funny as.

I thought about it too

last episode


Bella: THE DREAM. Bella is like a dream, gorgeous but unclear, difficult to understand and remember. everything she does or says is acceptable only on the basis of the great mystery that surrounds her: her missing husband.
her relationship with MC starts uphill, rightly since one of the first times she sees him he is naked hidden in a bush ...

but after this difficult departure, their relationship proceeds with sudden and also quite unexpected shots, practically every time they are alone a great passion breaks out, a passion that is immediately hidden and denied.

second Bella's mistery is the closed room, that could be connected to the husband (the room of an unborn child?)

the third one her relationship, sisterly, with Jill

aesthetically she is my favorite, it even seems to me that it has a greater graphic definition than the other LI (Josy maybe is at the same level)...
from a realistic point of view her one is the most complicated route for MC, there are many objective obstacles. but apart from Jill's one, her route can survive relationships with all the other characters until the end of the game


My fan fiction about her is that Bella is a nymphomaniac under medical supervision, and that Jill is always close to her to make sure she takes her medicine. her husband exasperated by her behavior took a break. in the locked room there are sex toys and BDSM stuff...

i don't know she is a great mistery... a mistery that i want to solve

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.

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.

 

[Deleted member 581764]

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.
