I've seen this asked a few times but no answers, are there some renders not unlocking? I've done all routes now start to finish and still have 10 Jill renders and 1 Josy render missing. They all say story so not sure how I could have missed them?
Those are all during story sections, not during the free roam. The last Josy one is almost certainly the one during the morning after montage - I think it's the folks who slept in the basement. There are walk-throughs showing them all, but they are all there and working.

And it actually annoys the shit out of me. Your friends is sick, you tell Jill "Sorry, I made a promise" but she all of a sudden gets upset and that's the pinpont of a whole thing.
I don't know how many time DPC is gonna need to beat people over the head with "its not that you helped a friend. It's that you MISSED having a turning point moment with Jill" but clearly that bench conversation where she explicitly says that isn't enough ;)

Seems like an easy choice for me. The answer is to not pick up the phone and then to go on the date with Jill! :cool:

people would be fine with it if it wasnt such a ridiculously contrived dilemma that only exists because MC cant communicate, just like all the other forced drama moments where MC forgets how to speak words to resolve a problem/misunderstanding.

i understand at this point its something we just have to roll with to continue the story, like Maya and her ludicrous tuition plot line, but people wouldnt make a big deal about it if DPC tried a little harder to make a believable scenario for these things to occur.

like why shouldnt he be criticized for making the fundamental Jill path decision so idiotic? why not just have a legit "Crossroads" moment in that episode and have Jill ask MC out on a picnic date with a very clear yes or no answer with the appropriate consequences for each response?

Have yourself a very merry SanchoMod Christmas

Good evening DIKs,

Happy holidays from the Sancho family to you and yours, sincerely.

Since we're not listed in the VN's OP for any of the fine products and fixes available for "Being a DIK", here's some for you to unwrap at your leisure:
  • Season 1/2/3 SanchoMod: Grab it here
  • Season 3 JoiPlay fix (only works unmodded, don't get cute): Grab it here
  • Season 3 music revert (get the old music back): Grab it here
  • Season 3 Sancho's personal import file (all Branches): Grab it here
Note: The import file will fix your fuckup when you previously used another mod or tampering with shit that the VN dev (PinkCake) deemed appropriate to sabotage your experience. It is NOT needed nor required if you previously played and saved either unmodded or used SanchoMod exclusively but feel free to use them if you want to regardless. Just remember to change the MC's name via SanchoCheats as appropriate.

Stay warm, stay safe, and we wish all the best to you and yours.

Regards and be well,
- Sancho

Turning down a girl in dating VN always has clear and appropriate consequences. It's not rocket science.

eh, thats debatable

but this whole scenario reeks of DPC forced drama laziness as opposed to writing an actual believable situation or just being straightforward like in Crossroads. can anybody explain WHY the Jill date has to be handled this way, for reasons other than "drama"?

there is literally nothing stopping IRL MC just calling Jill and explaining the situation and having the picnic the next day or sometime in the next few days or whatever. Jill is very understanding and kind hearted and would likely have zero problems with such an occurrence. its literally just another example of MC being unable to communicate appropriately whenever DPC needs him to keep his mouth shut

you are allowed to be okay with it happening the way DPC decided and people who think its dumb will have to accept it, but they are still allowed to criticize it

Well, yes, but it's seriously pretty normal convention for dating games. If you're presented with choice between two or more events, you'll always want to pick the event with the girl you pursue, otherwise you risk the game will treat it as opting out of her route. Now, some games are gracious enough they won't require *all* of girl's events for successful outcome, but you shouldn't really count on it.

They also pretty much never bother with this sort of window dressing like "put in extra content and complicate things more than needed just to allow both/all events instead of one". In a way having to choose is the entire point, so there's little sense in adding ways to circumvent that.

im not sure i agree that there is little sense in having a more believable story when possible. but we can just agree to disagree if thats the case (y)

also this isnt a dating game, for what its worth. so im not sure you can use logic from dating sims and apply it to BaDIK

Just tried Episode 9. On the fence about the party planner. It feels very extra and unnecessary, mechanics of it are also really 'simple' made complicated which I don't get. Hopefully there's gonna either be a guide or mod. Its not the worst thing in the world but its definitely is a huge waste of time.
