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

[TimHawk]

Damn it I chose Maya.
Looks like I'll be doing another playthrough before the next episode.

I think you did the right thing, buddy.

In, I think it was Episode 7, when you have to decide between visiting eiter Maya or Josy, Josy is a no brainer.

Maya just stayed in the same dorm room she has occupied all semester, whereas Josy has to move again into a new environment, she still has to pay for half of Maya's dorm room and has to cope with Patrick still being a threat.

Josy clearly needs the MC way more and if you visit Maya, all you do is watch a movie, but with Josy you have some interaction with other HoT's and more of a personal talk with Josy.

On the other hand, in Episode 10 everything points to Maya. She has the much harder time accepting the lie the MC had to come up with to protect the girls secret. It's also Maya who learns about Mel's throuple relationship and the MC has to go to Maya's home to get the contract, so again an absolute no brainer.

It also may be very important for the MC to hear from Maya about how she never felt as comfortable with Josy as she does with the MC, so that he can adress it, and make sure it doesn't get out of hand and become a run-away problem.

This decision is probably important for the solo routes, but wrong for the three-way relationship.

Very simple reason. If the MC is on the throuple path, then he will have sex with Maya in EP7. However, the crucial thing is for the MC to give Maya a TV. Why?

In EP10, we find out what the DIKs are doing this Friday. A movie night. If Maya got the TV from the MC, she will not attend this movie night. This generates 2 possibilities for Maya in EP10. Either she is in her dorm watching TV or she has gone home to clean the Bailey house for Thanksgiving. It's even possible that Derek went home with her because he brought clothes in a garbage bag. Derek said that the garbage bag was used to transport the clothes.

Also, Josy doesn't need the MC in EP7 anymore than Maya does. That's totally wrong. In EP7, Maya needs the MC more because she is alone and not Josy. Josy makes friends with the HOTs. In EP10, the whole thing is reversed. Why? Oscar the idiot has made Josy doubt herself and the MC clearly shows Josy in EP10 that he loves her for who she is.

What Maya says in EP8 is also interesting. Her hand belongs to a princess and a prince. What are Josy and the MC building? A pillow fortress. Who lives in castles, palaces and fortresses? Princesses and princes.

It is important for the three-way relationship that the MC goes to Josy in EP5, to Maya in EP7 and back to Josy in EP10. If you don't want the three-way relationship, don't do it.

 

[Cervixpunch]

The MC can say to Maya to get Quinn to use the girls to make money. That's obviously enough information to not trust Quinn. The MC doesn't explicitly say that it's prostitution and/or drug dealing, but he clearly says that Quinn is using the girls. This using is clear enough not to trust Quinn.

Doesn't it work as well? It's what causes Maya to go to Sage because she stops trusting Quinn. Ages since I played that part though don't fully remember.

Honestly Maya should've clicked it was something sexual. Quinn spread Maya's legs in the pool talking about tips when talking to her. Between the MC, Quinn and Mona's there is no such thing as "free" Maya really should've had enough to realize Quinn wanted to sell that ass.

It’s enough information, but it still doesn’t get into how Quinn makes money off the girls. They could be escorts or camgirls—both of which are totally legal, although good luck getting a job teaching high school English once the school board finds out there’s an internet video of you rubbing your asshole with a dildo. Or even something wholly legal but unethical, like mutli-level marketing. “Okay bitches, this weekend we’re doing a Pampered Chef party at Cathy’s house!” We gotta know that it’s illegal, and how.

And sometimes knowing you’re selling ass isn’t quite enough information. Mona was totally okay with it until she found out she’d occasionally have to suck old dick.

Wait; I had the MC bring Maya a TV for their movie night in ep 7, then had him invite Maya over for a movie night in ep 10. One didn’t cancel out the other.

It doesn't matter whether it's prostitution, drug dealing, escorts or camgirls. It doesn't matter at all.

"Use" is the word that is important.

 

[TimHawk]

It is important for the three-way relationship that the MC goes to Josy in EP5, to Maya in EP7 and back to Josy in EP10. If you don't want the three-way relationship, don't do it.

Disagree with everything.

I don't think there is any doubt that Episode 7 Josy is a no brainer. She has to pay for a dorm room she doesn't use, just so her girlfriends psycho father doesn't use her access to higher education as a tool to control her. She is also the one that has to move again. Maya clearly said to the MC, that she considers not having to share her dorm room as being super lucky, so she is just fine.

As a boyfriend Josy is the only choice here, you wanna make sure she adapts okay, is not bitter about having to pay money because of Patrick and that she can move on.

In Episode 10 it's even more obvious, getting the contract is the main arch for everything related to Maya and Josy, it's THE main event, and since Josy doesn't even go with them, as her boyfriend, checking up on Maya and making sure she can handle the pressure is paramount.

 

[Canner]

Is it possible to go with other characters besides Isabella, Maya and Josie, Jill, and Sage at the end of 8.3? Can you keep your relationship with Jade?

 

[lipe2410]

Is it possible to go with other characters besides Isabella, Maya and Josie, Jill, and Sage at the end of 8.3? Can you keep your relationship with Jade?

Yes, by choosing "others" instead of one of the main LIs. To get this option avaiable you can't be on Jill's and/or Maya/Josy's path

 

[TimHawk]

You're not seeing the bigger picture. Josy is not alone in EP7, she has the HOTs sisters and as we learn from Elena in EP8, she had a good conversation with them. Maya, on the other hand, is in the more emotionally difficult situation. She's alone in the Dorm and thoughts go down dangerous paths when you have her alone. Also, you get less scenes with Maya when the MC isn't with her in EP7.

I wonder what you want with Josy continuing to pay for her bed? That's just money and nothing more. That bed could still play an important role, that's why DPC wrote it that way. The HOTs house is full. If one or the other HOT girl needs another place to sleep, there is one in Maya's dorm. Patrick would certainly rather see Maya sleep with the MC than live in the dorm with another girl. That's just one example.

That's friends ! We are talking love and supporting your girlfriend and most of all making sure she is okay. Like remove the throuple for a moment, what would have to happen, that you don't check up on Josy, as her boyfriend, after what she has just been through ?

She has to run from her OWN dorm room and hide at the MC's place, then she has to move and none of it is even remotely her fault.

And money is VERY important, josy herself said so "free tuition ? do you know how much money that is?". And who in their right mind would be okay paying thousends of bucks for something they can't even use ?

In Episode 7, Josy clearly needs the support, just as clearly as Maya needs it in Episode 10. Both are moments of change for the throuple, 7 for Josy and 10 for Maya, so of course as a boyfriend you support them.

 

[Canner]

Yes, by choosing "others" instead of one of the main LIs. To get this option avaiable you can't be on Jill's and/or Maya/Josy's path

Thanks, looks like it's another playthrough required

 

[Kpyna]

If you want the three-way relationship, you shouldn't choose Maya in EP10. Why? Because the MC then has to decide on the Josy's & Maya's Branch which girl to focus on. This is basically the same decision we have in EP4. Which bed does the MC want to sleep in? Josy's or Maya's bed.

But we can have a third choice in EP4. The MC lies down on the floor and JM gets into bed together. Let's apply that to the Josy decision in EP10. Josy tells the MC to do whatever it takes for Maya and the MC responds to do it for both of them. Three-way relationship.
View attachment 3258499

Both naive and wrong

About the similar choice was in the EP9, when Maya approached MC in the hall near his room. You can decide to go with her or mention Josy. Knowing DPC and thinking that avoiding Maya just like this and one time will "save" you... haha, good luck. Because next time you have to choice to hang out with her anyway (to keep things balanced) and she will ask something like this again. If you ignore her again - you are stepping on a Josy sided playthrough and that's all. There were no good options in EP5 & EP7, too. Just more or less "right" ones.

But for me it's becomming more and more obvious that DPC will probably drag us as far as possible just to force us and make the toughest choice later at the end. I would very like the 4 outcomes and options: Throuple, solo Josy/Maya or left them both to save their own relationship. But I doubt that all of them will be available. I would like to be wrong. But DPC previously did much worse things for the sake of the drama before. So...

And after all, why do you think it's bad to spend time with Maya, but just let her know that Josy is also important? So she will be convinced that MC is interested in Josy in the same way as in her. With Josy there are no such choice, because it's already known fact about how they feel. But Maya have a bonus "balance" option. It's bad to stay silent and not speak up - isn't the lesson is not learned?

This week, I wrote normal scenes and worked on a big lewd scene. I had to work on the environment and cosmetics to create this lewd scene, which took quite a while, but the result was worth it.

It's a fairly long lewd scene; I estimate I need roughly 200 renders for it alone, and the animation count will be above 50. I will likely spend a couple more weeks to get this scene done right.
​

The big lewd scene will be MC, Madame Rose, and Stanley wearing sailor hats in a hot tub/jacuzzi filled with pepto bismol. They clip their toe nails and shave their buttholes.

Josy also had a hard time when she had to flee from Patrick. Wait, what was hard was the MC's cock and the morning after, which made Josy happy again. That was a very hard lot for Josy. Maya lay alone in bed and mourned.

Oh how hard it was for Josy to move into HOT's house. Wait a minute. In EP4 Josy already said so she wants the college sisterhood experience. So with the decision in EP7, the MC shouldn't control Josy what she does in the HOTs house but respect her wish. Josy starts to build more intense friendships with the HOTs girls, which she wouldn't be able to do if the MC is there. Let Josy gain her experience and don't control her. Maya, on the other hand, is alone in her dorm.

Of course Josy said that. But her financial loss is limited. Why? If Josy had stayed in the dorm, she would have to pay the money too. But she is in the HOTs house. The upkeep is very cheap, as you can read. So Josy's losses are limited. Besides, Josy is paying for it because she loves Maya and it's a way of keeping Maya safe from Patrick. If you love someone, you're happy to make such sacrifices and don't ask for money.

You can play however you want. But one thing is a fact. In EP7 Maya needs the emotional help and in EP10 Josy. Have you forgotten what Oscar did to Josy in EP9? The MC clearly shows Josy in EP10 so she's not boring to him, so he loves her for who she is. That is love. Maya, for example, gives the MC (The porn player among BaDIK fans) what they want to see. In EP10, what the MC says and does during the Thanksgiving stay at the Baileys is what matters to Maya and the threesome relationship. Does he stand by Maya or not.

Remember, for Josy to want Maya and the MC? That Josy mentions several times. Josy says in EP10 for the MC to do whatever necessary for Maya and the MC responds to do it for both (Josy and Maya). Again, Josy wants Maya and the MC. If the MC is with Maya, then he doesn't hear what is necessary for the three-way relationship.

 

[RoccaLumera]

hi curiosity, I wanted to play the game again after a long time but I can no longer find the links to the old translation versions and scrappy mods in Italian, because while reading I noticed that there are errors in the overlapping of the translations, do you have the mod files or old translations 0.8.3 in Italian?

It's again the exact opposite. What matters in Episode 10 is that the MC learns that Maya was never as comfortable with Josy as she is with the MC, because that's a feeling and if they don't get adressed they grow and grow untill it's too late.

And the MC is even given an instant choice to adress it, when he chooses "focus on Josy" it ends with him saying "Then you can put all those bad feelings away and feel comfortable with Josy, too." to Maya and that seems crucial for the survival of the throuple.

You can play however you want, but don't get frustrated when you have to go back all the way to Episode 7 to make the throuple survive, because the choices are laid out in a very obvious way.

 

[noahsombrero]

Don't you start too. I'm not DPC.

The important thing to notice is that this is by far the most interesting forum for bad. And you dalli_x, I hear, were instrumental in getting things started here in the early days. This forum then is useful to dpc in maintaining interest in bad over the long dry spells. Surely a smart guy like him/you must know that. Some of us don't ever pay for bad, but, I suspect many do, even sign up for patreon. Just cause we love the game so much. And this forum is a big part of getting us hooked.

The hypocritical thing, then I think, mr dpc, is that a person can get banned from bad discord and patreon at the the same time for mentioning being in possession of a version that is under release restriction at patreon before it should have been available to that person. Among other ways mentioned here lately. Shame dpc. UB creep.

 

[KАRАMBA]

Both naive and wrong

 

[ReallyNotTimmy]

The way I usually go through the Josy/Maya path is like so:

1. Get Maya to like the MC, by being neutral and going back to her after the DIK body shots party; that way you get the fingering scene.
2. Have the MC go home and fuck Josy. (If you don’t, your points with the girls might not be equal enough for them to push the beds together later.)
3. Have the MC offer to help Maya do HOT scavenger hunt stuff; then when the time comes, he can thigh-fuck her.
4. Again, be neutral by the time the MC has the conversation with them in the DIK library, which activates the throuple.
5. Make em push the beds together.
6. Have him fuck Maya at the preps party. Yes the Josy scene is hotter, but Maya needs consoling more. Josy will be jealous, but don’t tell her “we’ll try” to include her in stuff; girl’s gotta learn sometimes Maya’s gonna get some one-on-one loving too.
7. Maya goes first when they film the threeway.
8. Have him fuck Josy when she’s hiding out from Patrick. (Of course. What, is he gonna turn down easy sex?)
9. Have him do a movie night with Maya—she’ll cum from his cock for the first time. Yes he can go visit Josy, but the sex won’t be as good.
10. Threeway in the hot tub.
11. Have him fuck Josy after the HOTs party. (Again, easy sex.)
12. Have him fuck Maya at the dorm party. (Also easy sex—and Maya’s come to really enjoy sex with him.)
13. Have him fuck Josy in the gym bathroom.
14. Have him fingerbang Maya behind the green screen.
15. Threeway in the MC’s room.
16. I’m still up in the air about whether he should fuck Maya in his room, or Josy in hers. I’m figuring there will be a scene in ep 11 in which he has no choice but one girl or the other, so the ep 10 scene should be whatever balances the ep 11 scene out. If we do get a choice in ep 11, go with Maya in one and Josy in the other; pick whichever option is hottest.
17. Threeway behind the porta-potties.

As you can see, it’s fairly balanced between both girls. If I’m forced to eventually choose between one or the other, it won’t be for any lack of balance. My hope is, obviously, we’ll get eight options:

1. Josy option.
2. Maya option.
3. Throuple option.
4. Throuple-circumventing Josy option.
5. Throuple-circumventing Maya option.
6. Josy & Sage option.
7. Maya & Sage option.
8. All five LIs harem/dogpile option.

Not holding my breath for those last three.

I have yet to do a run in which the MC minimally fucks Josy, or Maya, so as to make the girl he chooses in the throuple breakup inevitable. That feels like I’d be torturing whichever girl he’s depriving. Kinda like Chad was torturing Sage by never putting out. Not cool.

 

[TimHawk]

And again you are wrong. What Maya says is important for a solo path. Why? After sex in EP9, Maya said it was so great because it was with both of them. So with Josy and the MC. Ergo, Maya would have lied in EP9 if Maya goes to the MC in EP10.

So you really think that if Maya doesn't feel so comfortable with Josy, it's a good three-way relationship? If Maya has to share the MC with someone she's not so comfortable with. Well then, have fun on your path.

Yes of course ! I don't know how you think relationships work, but the number one thing is communication ! How else do you solve those problems and feelings ? Wait for the relationship fairy to wave her wand and magically fix shit ?

Do you really think, that it's a coincidence that in Episode 7 Josy complains about Maya saying she doesn't try hard enough to make it work, just for the MC to adress it and make sure they stay tight as a throuple ?

The exact thing happens in Episode 10 with Maya, who is there and can instantly reassure her and fix it ? The MC !

1 on 1 relationships are difficult enough already, but if you add a third person it becomes infinitely more difficult. You have to adress problems right as they appear and be open and honest with eachother.

It almost seems like your solution to keeping 3 people in a relationship happy, is to pretend they don't have any problems and just stick your fingers into your ears and sing "lalalala".

Honesty is the only way the throuple has a shot, otherwise those problems will magnify and then one day it all explodes into one big mess and it's game over.

And DPC not just hints that that is the way, he makes it perfectly clear, when the MC lets Maya and Josy have his room to spend time alone to work shit out.

You solve problems, you don't run away from them or pretend they don't exist.

Only one week? I expected 1 month penalty, at least

My MC always goes to his room with Maya. What's more important is what's written at the end of the threesome and what the player chooses. I always choose so that there is no competition between Josy, Maya and the MC. This is crucial for the threesome relationship. Why?

Do you get that your response in this particular dialogue is not remembered by the game? It's an RP +- moment and nothing more. No variables saved. So it's just more for your internal satisfaction, but the game moves on after that and not giving a fuck of your choice.

DPC clearly wrote that AL should not be compared to BaDIK. But I understand what you mean. But we have a clue and a decision for that in EP10. Melanie is the clue. She had a three-way relationship in high school. She was just in it for the fun of it. And here's the decision. Maya asks the MC if it's the same as Melanie's or different. I always choose so my MC wants the feelings too and that makes Maya happy. The next important decision is with Becky. Is it more important for BaDIK's player to be a celebrity or is the MC happy with Josy and Maya. Symbolism. Josy, Maya and the MC hold hands. Princesses and the Prince (EP8)

I haven't checked the EP10 game script so far, because I still have saves with permutations I'l willing to enjoy w/o spoilers, but something tells me that this is only +-RP moment again. At least the official guide says so (off guide hides a tons of shit as well, but really important things are always marked there as "character will remember your choice").

Now I will try to convey the meaning of what I mean.

In the Throuple branch, Mel warns them that it was a cool experience, but it ended quite quickly and advises them to enjoy every moment while it lasts. The dialogue with Maya and, in general, the moral of this branch is that if they don't want to "burn out" in a months and end in the same way as Mel did, then they need to talk, communicate and give their best - discuss their feelings, discuss their plans for the future, fight obstacles they have or may meet, and not hush them up or just not talk about them. Both Josy & Maya hide things. Well, we learned a tons of stuff about Maya, While Josy keeps a lot of things to herself and not sharing.

In case of Throuple break up scenario Josy (and Maya too) starts to express their feelings when it's too late. Josy even says that she haven't got a chance to show MC the real her in a relationship. If they will forget about feelings and concentrate on having fun and fooling around, Throuple is doomed, it's just a question of time. They need to discuss things, how they feel, what they afraid of, etc, etc, etc. Sage branch get a good clue how it should be done.

DPC using this duality things and spreading valuable puzzle pieces through the whole game.

We'll see where it will go with Throuple in EP11 and EP12.
