Another angle to voice acting is that its beyond awful when the voices changes due to inevitable recasting, forced or not. And for the moment ignore subjective things like voices that dont match for whatever reason (age/accent/feel etc). It only works for games released in full, where the actor(s) actually know the whole script and have read it in full and act it all out so its consistent. Like a professional would, in a sane proper work environment. It doesnt work for games on patreon that drops small releases throughout multiple years. Its an awful state of the business really but what can you do?

Common interjection are amusing to me if used sparingly, kinda like sound effects (yay, ugh, ow, ouch, boo, yuck, woo, cheers etc). Sound effects like grunts, moans and background range from meh to pretty good. But full voices, F that. I only see fully voiced games work if they were Kickstarteted, games thats released in full after a complete and thorough development. You need the industry and a fully funded game behind you to make good voice acting to fit a game.

I wonder if there was a bunch of DIK fans swamping that punk rock band to appeal their decision to not allow their music anymore. Like did anybody really give a shit about that band? Being a dik made them more popular I would assume

The youtube comments for punk rock flu is filled with fans of being a dik. So I guess they will take the free publicity. Not very punk rock. fucking posers

Do you know if DPC has any system that detects modded files when transferring saves to the Interlude/Season 3? I know it's a problem with each new episode, but since it's a new Ren'Py game I'm wondering if the mod trigger transfers too.

Just asking since I plan to redo all my playthroughs and organise them properly. If there is a system in place I'll play without the mod (as much as I love it), so I can play episode 9 without waiting for the mod to update.

I would fully expect episode 9 imports to be checking if there are incompatible states, e.g. somebody's game who shows them on multiple paths, which is impossible in an unmodded game. Wouldn't surprise me even remotely if he used that as a condition to purge all other exported saves as punishment, like how he was wiping out gallery collections, etc.

What I wanted to say is that most people would not like an scene of MMF with one of the female characters, the MC and another guy, because most players are men, and most men doesn´t feel turned on by a MMF scene. And also, because it would be too close to NTR, a fetish that most of the people dislike because of the people play this kind of games to feel good, not to feel cheated by the writer and gets angry with.
It's not NTR if you're not dating them. Ergo, #1 likelihood for any MMF is going to be MC+JB+Elena, or characters entirely not related to MC, like Carolyn and her 2 men in the dorm party of Episode 8.

And it's easy to avoid that, don't take them up on it if the offer is extended. I'm not into dudes (Sorry, Troy!), but just due to wondering how the scene would play out, I'd go for the devil's threesome with Elena. I don't find her physically appealing, but I do like her personality.

Not into MMF myself but I was pretty much ready to go with Derek and Penny. But then Derek was being Derek :LOL:

There's elements of NTR with Isabella considering we don't know what happened to her husband. You are technically cucking him IF he shows back up.

Other than that I don't think Elena counts as NTR cause JB seems into it? Like he's not jealous and it's not behind his back or anything. She's not cheating on him cause she'll go back after you do anything. They're just swingers which isn't NTR.

Edit: I'm not even sure Isabella counts as NTR though because she has a lot of regret and takes a lot of (weird and kinda rapey) effort on MC's part to even see her titties on purpose.

I've been thinking about one major plot slip if you're on Bella's path. If you have both Jill's and Bella's paths active at the same time, then it's looks like Bella doesn't care. She just asks "what is your relationship with Jill?" and "you should talk to her." And that's it. It seems that she does not care about her friend and that she will regard this as a betrayal. But throughout the story, we are shown how important Jill is to her, how she tries to protect her, but when Bella starts dating Tremolo, it seems to become unimportant.
It is not clear if the DPC did this on purpose to show that Bella is not so highly moral and is ready to take the guy away from her best friend, or just a plot flaw. In my opinion, it would be wise to make a block on Bella's path in which she rejects MC if he started dating Jill.


Yes, I know that we get this scene with any plot confluence:

But the consequences if you've dated Jill before can be disastrous.

I think it’s a consequence of Bella being too attracted/ emotionally invested in the MC to turn him down even though she knows it’s a horrible thing to do to Jill. If you put yourself into her shoes it kinda makes sense.

If you began to fall in love with someone who was only just beginning to date your friend, you might also end up going for it. Not because you wanna hurt your friend, but because it’s incredibly hard to resist acting upon those emotions when they’re returned. It’s not unusual for romantic love to be the cause of death of friendships.

Bella, if romanced, constantly does not care about the possible relationship between mc and Jill (and in case it is going well she knows it).

There is no jump, Bella's behaviour towards Jill is terrible but constant

Nah, you are overthinking it, everything will be fine.

If that were to happen, then it should've happened by EP7 when Bella is starting to seriously think about dating MC and rejects him for messing with Cathy but doesn't even mention Jill.
Now I'm really curious how DPC'll handle it, I think 2 of those 10 saves DPC mentioned are for when MC dates Jill & Bella vs Bella only. But I'm also wondering if DPC will create unique instances for a DIK MC since Jill obviously falls for the CHICK one but rejects a DIK.

It won't, because the affinity can't be changed after the second season, we've reached a permanent point, when the MC personality is fully formed. That is, there will be no DIK path for Jill, he will remain who he was.

It's generally very strange that an adult woman at 36 falls in love with a student who is half her age and she doesn't give a damn that she will harm her friend. I always had a creepy feeling in Bella's way. I hope we will be given an explanation for her behavior in future episodes. For me, Bella is very interesting and I like her character, but looking at her actions, and especially if you look closely, then a mental diagnosis suggests itself.
