I'm with you. But I'll have to halt at the gates of the Great Empire of Josy. I sadly cannot join.
At first I read it as the Great Empire of Joshy92.:ROFLMAO:

My main exclusive route is between Maya and Jill. I'm not ready to choose.
I'm but a wandering ronin.:whistle:

I agree. He's entitled to his opinion and can develop his creation however he wants.
We're also free to have our own opinions and voice them.
Paying customers are especially entitled to their opinions.
Absolutely right. But what bothers me is that opinions often turn into hate posts. Being a DIK is basically fun for all of us and we owe that to DPC, which is why he doesn't deserve various hate posts. Opinions yes, hate posts no.

I agree. If it gets really toxic, it's not fun.
But being blindly submissive doesn't help either.

Healthy criticism is good. As is poking fun at an ego if it gets out of control.

I have respect and appreciation for DPC's work.
BADIK is one of the best western-styled AVNs.

Bella's fans right now myself included...
View attachment 3359649
See you guys in 2026...
I take solace in the fact that her set will look better quality-wise than if he released it with Ep11. But it's a pretty pathetic cope, anyway.
Yeahhh.... Bella is my fave. This episode, her path was garbage.
I feel like DPC has overdone it with drama on her path. There's so many obstacles, but the biggest one is her husband. It would have been so much, much easier if Bella was just a widow who couldn't move on after her husband's death. Instead, with him being missing, she is living in a limbo-like state. She can't move on because she wants to stay loyal to him. And she can't be happy with him either because, you know, he's missing. As a Bella fan, I'll keep pursuing her regardless, but I fully understand people who are put off by this.

I ended up working on art all week. I've been working on new environments and chugging on with renders for bigger scenes. A handful of SFW animations have been posed in the process.

The scene I started working on yesterday will need ~400-600 renders to complete - it's massive. It's always hard to estimate the render count for a scene because sometimes renders are used multiple times in dialogue.

I believe I have decided on the first preview for this episode and will publish it in the upcoming week.

The render queue is lasting well throughout February, as I hoped. At the moment, I'm feeling inspired to focus on art and will continue doing that until I feel like writing again. I'm also planning which lewd scene to create next to refill the animation queue when needed.

Depending on the final animation count, I estimate that I've already posed 40-45% of the needed animations for episode 11. It's clear that I've been focusing on this up until recent weeks.

Poll news
Maya won the special render poll that ended today, and she will get a dedicated special render set in episode 11. I'm looking forward to creating it and must decide what I want. It's always hard trying to top the recent episode's special render sets, but I will do my best. Also decided by this poll, Isabella will get her special render set in episode 12. Thanks for voting!

One special render set poll remains for episode 11, but that will be saved for later. Instead, there will be another cosmetic poll starting later this month for Sage.

Have a great weekend.

Maya won something, ep 10 really did a lot of good for her wounder how it will be handle if it turns out most of Maya loan problems comes from the fact she didn't read it

Similar to the "loan" enough is enough. It's dragging on for far too long now and it's now worse than before. "He's missing" Missing where!?! Did he get abducted by aliens? Did he leave you to start his new life as Madame Rose? Did you kill him and are now playing the sad wife card? I watch too much true crime.

These two storylines need be brought behind the barn.

It's difficult enough trying to balance time and attention between two children.
I couldn't imagine balancing time and attention between two lineages of children with two different mothers.

A man only has so much time. Two wives with two sets of children is too much.
It's an unhealthy family model. Not to mention the resources needed if one is not wealthy.

The MC comes from a humble background, as does Maya and Josy.
Two wives, two sets of children... Not to mention when MC/Maya/Josy are elderly and need more care.
Not a sustainable model amongst the masses and it's fringe for a reason.

It's also important for children to have a traditional, stable, and sustainable family model, that is well tested over many generations, to pattern themselves after.

Models that haven't been tested thoroughly are an experiment.
Models that existed but are now fringe, are fringe because they don't work on a mass scale.

This character type would be overdone in the story, if Caleb is another beefy gay jock like Chad and Troy.
I think DPC is smart enough to have more contrast than that.

You can't blame Caleb for avoiding Arieth.
To his credit, it doesn't seem like he would sleep with his bro's girlfriend.
He didn't understand what was so special about the HOTs, and had a "more fish in the sea" attitude.

Dawe is almost in awe of Chad.
I could see him initially having a "yuck" gut reaction, but accepting Chad despite his sexual preferences later.
Caleb is a hothead and more of a genuine bully. Dawe is a poser.

I'm not seeing anything deeper regarding the pumpkin costume.
The MC wouldn't raise the children alone. It would also have practical advantages. For example with work. Two go to work and in the meantime the third looks after the children. They have two mothers, but only one father. The question that then arises is, would there really be two lineages (Josy and Maya) or just one lineage (MC). But as long as the children are small there shouldn't be a problem and when they get older you have to talk openly with the children about it. Despite everything, the children are siblings and nothing changes. Imagine the MC marries Josy, has a child, separates from Josy and marries Maya. Josy and the MC's child then lives with Maya and the MC, who also has a child from the MC. At some point, almost the same situation that you are worried about will arise. But this also works IRL.

Every person, not just a man, has limited time. But even here, a threesome relationship is actually perfect. In a relationship, you should give your partner space, time to spend alone and do what they want. With two mothers, the MC can take this time. But the same goes for Josy and Maya. Resources should be the least of their problems, even if none of them are rich. But then in the family there are 3 adults of working age. Instead of two incomes, there are three incomes. There are families with only 2 adults and 2+ children and they can do it too.

Maya and Josy do not come from simple backgrounds. Iris Moore, Josy's mother, has her own business. Pete, Josy's father, won't make too much money in his job, he works in the financial sector. With Patrick, we also know that there are no financial problems for the Baileys. Patrick may not agree to Maya being in an unconventional and non-traditional relationship, but he would be happy about the grandchild/angel children. I got Patrick in the mood so that he just needed a push to be able to think clearly again. Patrick would also give peace of mind if Helen agreed to Maya's three-way relationship. A stable and sustainable family model has been clarified for me. Let's come to the traditions, every generation breaks with traditions that they no longer consider to be up to date. Just think about gay marriages. This would have been unthinkable a generation ago, but times have changed.

I don't see a relationship as a model or experiment. This is the completely wrong prerequisite for a relationship, no matter what kind. A good relationship works when 7 prerequisites are met.
1. Emotional closeness (trust, love, security)
2. Communication.
3. Honesty.
4. Respect.
5. Independence.
6. Common goals.
7. Sexuality.
This is important for a relationship and it doesn't matter how many people are in the relationship. In my playthrough, every point of these requirements is met in the three-way relationship.

I didn't write so that Caleb is or might be gay. He's just not interested in the HOTs. No, I think it's more so that Caleb doesn't care whether someone is gay or not gay. For Caleb, it will be about who performs in sports and who doesn't. With Caleb I see that he could already have a girlfriend, which is not a HOT girl. Caleb's hatred of the DIKs could come from the fact that a DIK flirted with Caleb's girlfriend. But that's just my feeling and nothing more.

Dawe may be in awe of Chad right now, but that could change if Dawe found out Chad was gay. When Dawe saw the MC for the first time, when the MC hugged his father, a derogatory homosexual comment came from Dawe. The guy is homophobic. Caleb is a hothead, I agree with you. But a tyrant? No, I would think so. Dawe is the tyrant, but makes himself into a joke because there is nothing wrong with him. Rather, Caleb is socially awkward, only recognizes the authority of the jocks and he lets others feel that. Once the MC should fight Caleb and win, not a draw like in EP5, then Caleb will respect the MC. Dawe will never respect the MC.

You don't have to see anything deeper in the pumpkin costume either. I will write more about this when the consequences of two decisions may become apparent in later EPs of the game.

If Maya & Josy each had a baby
I would consider them both the mother and the mc the father.

The babies would have three parents imo

You say that as though Bella's house won't be a big free roam, with variations depending on whether you got the contract and snippets for each girl's path. I agree that wouldn't be a great use of time, but DPC is well past gilding lilies at this point: he's gilding silverware. Anything is possible.
Yes, this makes perfect sense. MC and his friends returned in the late evening. First, they will discuss the stolen contract, then they will dine and spend the night together. The free time will be available either in the late evening, when the MC will roam the room and converse with the girls, or the early morning, as soon as everyone has woken up.
