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

do you think all LIs will accompany MC until the end of the game?

I don't think, sooner or later drastic choices will come, then of course we can cross them around in college, but without interacting in an important way

especially for the two paired Maya / Josy and Jill / Bella, in my opinion it is likely that at some point to try to get to one we will have to greet the other

I think they will. No matter how strongly some people may dislike one significant girl or the other. They have to accept the fact that they're a part of the games (MC's) story. The only major difference being what their relationship with MC is.

Sage in episode 5 is a good example of this, MC explains why he rejected her back in Episode 3 to which Sage accepts and states that they should hang out more, and thus creating a route in game where you're only friends with her not "looks like I'm ever gonna see/speak to Sage again because I told her I wasn't interested in her"

for now the story is proceeding very slowly.

MC can only consider himself in a relationship with Maya & Josy, and not in all games
everything is suspended with the other 3 girls.

sooner or later the circle will have to tighten.
in AL (but equally in most games) there is no reverse, at some point the inside or outside is triggered.

then I repeat: they are all in college so they will meet often, but as friends, as fellow students, nothing more

I think it all depends on how much in-game time we get with this. So far the MC has spent all of 2 weeks at college so it's still too early to be tying him to down to anyone, and if this story will just cover the first few months of his time at college, there's no reason why he can't still be seeing/dating all the main LIs. If, however, the story takes place over the course of the entire 1st year, then the MC can't really be expected to continue seeing/dating the 5 main LIs for 9-10 months without some or all the them expecting more of a committed, exclusive relationship.

 

[xsssssssss]

It's funny, I'll often say that "DPC won't repeat what they did in AL", but yet I do sometimes think they'll repeat certain things, like if you're pursuing all LIs you'll be able to hold on to them all until near the end of the game. I also see the Bella/Jill situation possibly going the same way as the Melissa/Megan situation in that Jill will accept Bella and the MC doing things together because she can see that he is a good influence on her and is bringing her out of shell. Of course, that's also wishful thinking because I'm still hurting from that game.

I don’t see it being Melissa/Megan, I expect drama if Jill finds out about Bella on that route.

what does it matter if we like them or not?

a LI is interesting as long as there are "happy ending" possibilities, then it becomes a supporting actor like any other

after Sage has been refused, if MC meets her or Camilla or the feminist with purple hair is similar

This also kind of gets into that issue of "catering for different players". Some players might not want Sage, and that's fine, a friendship path can be available for them from ep 5 onwards. Some players might want to pursue all LIs for as long as possible, and that's fine too, so there should be way for them to do that.

So all LIs will likely still be there as friends if players reject romantic relationships, but I also think they'll be there as romanitc relationships as well and then it will come down to variable checks, player choice, or a combination of both.

I don’t see it being Melissa/Megan, I expect drama if Jill finds out about Bella on that route.

Most likely not, but it does feel the same in some ways.

I was super excited to see the MC with the DIKs jacket from the beginning of the chapter hahahaha but well we will see it for the next chapter ... And I don't know if it was just me but this chapter seemed a bit shorter than the others! ?

Yeah, it's a fairly common consensus around these parts that it felt short. Seems to be mainly due to the fact that thie episode has a very long free-roam in just one location and spans the shortest amount of in-game so far. But the next episode promises to be "the longest episode to date" so that should certainly make up for it.

that's means it will be release in November.

I still think that the MC has a deeper relationship with Sage than with any other LI, even if it's not defined at the moment. Considering the best relationship possible in all routes.

if she stopped considering herself committed to Chad ...

both she and Jill would take very little to change their status

I'd still say October. They've done 1320 renders and 60 animations in about 1 month of work, and they've also been coding and testing too. Two more months like that and they could be almost finished by the end of September and ready for a mid-October release.

I'm actually waiting to see how everything plays out once one of the girls ask for girlfriend status. My guess is that it will be Jill.

 

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

I think she already is, she just needs to realize the obvious. But the relationship has going steadily forward. M&J's... I think it's going backwards a bit, even if they are "officialy" a threeway relationship I don't think it's going that well... Jill's is also going slowly but steadily, but as for now it's far behind (There's a chance Jill will ask for a formal relationship before having sex, though.) And I don't think anyone knows in which stage Bella and the MC are .

Would be kinda shocking if it was Bella who got girlfriend status. Imagine her telling the MC she would date him but he would have to stop with all the other girls then after going steady for awhile BOOM the husband comes back, MAN OH MAN talk about the drama.

 

[Jacob the Third]

It took 133 days or 4 months and 12 to release ep 5. It took 147 days or 4 months 25 days to release ep 4. My best Guest it would take 154 days or 5 months. I think Ep 6 will be release at October 23 or 30.

 

[flippityflop]

Yes and ask MC to accept Jesus into his heart.

That's why she's my favorite. Even their interactions are well done, Sage always imparts some knowledge in the MC, about how things work in campus, how to run a fraternity/sorority, etc...
She at the moment is the LI that is always honest with the MC, for better or worse. The only "lie" in their relationship at the moment is that she's still with Chad.

Anyway, i also see Jill being the first girl to ask for commitment. Maya and Josy were weird in episode 5, at the end of 4, i thought there was already something like that, after the library scene for the guys on their routes. Anyway, Sage i see being one of the last, because i can see her next episode trying to get back with Chad or something like that.

No more throuples, please .

And she's mostly lying to herself at this point.

I think maybe end of september o mid of october comes out the next episode.

I don't really get all the MC hate that seems to be spreading on these forums. We have seen how the story is portrayed that the MC actually wants to be in a "real" relationship its just that all the girls/women have their own problems. He would have already been in a relationship with Maya if it wasn't for Josy and he will more then likely start a relationship soon with Jill as that's the next stage in their relationship.

Of course all of this depends on how your own playthrough went because like its been said before no two playthroughs are the same.
