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

[ChipLecsap]

I feel like for them to have a chance, Josy and Maya should come as a package deal in these polls instead of separate options. That's kind of how they are in the game anyways (for now at least), it would make sense for these render sets to follow suit. Just a thought.

it is just matter of time before the drama reach Sage, Jill, Bella, and then the " favorite " will be changed once again for many peoples.

Sage dump you the moment Chad show any interest in her again.
Jill, just want to upset her rich family by dating with someone they might despise, a lower level class person.
Bella has mental illness
and then the world will be back to its natural order, where the insecure hot blonde, is not the worst person in the world, and your summer love is the hottest chick, and you have a perfect polygamy relationship with them. and all three of you rule the school, with your best friend Derek as you vice president.
Happy Ending.

These main girl polls are basically a 3 way cycle between Jill/Bella/Sage. DPC might as well not even bother including Maya and Josy.

Or maybe not do polls and just do one main girl render set per episode. We had Josy in ep 1, Jill in ep 2, Bella in ep 3, and Sage in ep 4, leaving Maya for ep 5, which we got, but then we also got Jill when they could have just left it as Maya and then had Josy in ep 6, Jill in ep 7, Bella in ep 8, etc.

Just repeat the cycle every 5 episodes and that way every main girl gets equal treatment. The polls could have then been used for just the side girls and maybe what combo of characters people would like to see in the mixed renders.

it is just matter of time before the drama reach Sage, Jill, Bella, and then the " favorite " will be changed once again for many peoples.

Yep. DPC's going to find a way to put (some) people off these girls while Josy and Maya start to rise again in popularity.

Nah, since the special Renders things is just a bonus for those who are willing to give DPC 20, 40 or even more dollar. I don't really care , it is not affecting the story, so i don't mind. in fact im more than happy this way, than letting peoples to choose what the content would be.
and eventually every girl gets special renders, who care if some has more than the others, its just bonus, that does not effect anything in the game.

Is this you ragging on Maya and Josy or DPC's poll system?

DPC for making those 2 so unpopular that they never win any polls.

I have to say since the first episode was just released all the way towards this episode ...

I have never changed sides i always was and will be a Sage fan And i know quite a few people who would never change sides with Jill ... And know two someones that would never change sides with Jade... and a certain someone who would never leave Quinn...

So there are alot that stay true towards their favorites tbh

Its just The Maya fans that changed sides mostly since that drama / meltdown ... With Josy & Maya happend

He did not make them unpopular, people just react differently for situations, and have their own favorite regardless. and despite what they might tell you, peoples do like cliche characters like Jill, or the traditional red head wild girl like Sage. where as complex characters with flaws and mistakes are less popular becasue it's ruin some kind of illusion peopels may have about them.

DPC didn't make them unpopular. Their storyline is a sad and sympathetic one, and they made some foolish mistakes, but people judge them too harshly and that's not DPC's fault if some people who play this game are very unforgiving and aren't very empathetic

It wasn't the drama that made people dislike M&J but the lies, half truths (which can arguably be worse than lies) and hypocrisy that made people lose interest in them my self included. I guarantee you no one is gonna care about their favorite girl's drama as long as DPC doesn't pull another M&J on their route.

Hold the fucking phone. There's hypocrisy now too? What did I miss?

Maya making MC promise to be 100% honest with her when she herself knew she wouldn't do the same in return.

And none of that is unforgivable when you actually consider what each of them were going through and that they are still young girls who make these kinds of errors in judgement. Maya even realises she made such an error in the scene in ep 4 when she tells him how she should have let him in more and not kept things from him because she realises now just how important he is to her.

If people want to turn them down because they're more attracted to other girls, fine, but for people who liked them to turn them down on the grounds that what they did constitutes some sort of massive, irredeemable betrayal is ridiculous.

NAh, if anyone really hypocrites those are the players and the MC. but the story is written in the way its written, but yeah, if this small obstacle so much problem for peoples, where as, as you might say, others dramas would not care the players, yeah then they are hypocrite .

quinn basically leading a prostitution net, but hey it's okay,y she is cool. Jill, goes behind your back, despite you ask her multiple times to not do , but it's cool, she know what is best for you.
but an insecure confused girl, who is not telling you right from the beginning every secret of her, while in the meantime she opens up more and more, and ready to tell everything, but the timing is fucked up, that mean she is a horrible person. okay
and it's not like the MC was honest , for example he still did not have the conversation with Maya and Josy, that hey girl you might want to rethink joining the Hots, because they don't give away free money, you have to sell yourself for it.
and He could have been open about Jojo from the beginning, but he become honest with Jill, and Sage after he was burned by the Maya Josy situation. but this is what we call flaws, and character progression. something he the MC are now showing, and so does the 2 other girl .

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Maya making MC promise to be 100% honest with her when she herself knew she wouldn't do the same in return.

He had to earn her trust before she felt comfortable telling him about herself, most likely because trusting people with the truth about herself too soon hasn't worked out well for her. How is that so hard to comprehend, let alone judge so harshly?

 

[flippityflop]

Maya making MC promise to be 100% honest with her when she herself knew she wouldn't do the same in return.

So you're just gonna ignore the fact that she tells MC she's only 99% honest with him. Which should've been an indication that she's withholding some info about herself. That's on you.

 

[michael1984]

Lets be honest all characters have their flaws and imperfections storywise ... The only reason i dislike the M&J situation i didnt like the build up....

And not just the Maya and Josy situation ... Was never into Maya in the first place... So for me its whatever tbh

But i can understand when fans of both Maya and Josy wanted a single path and now they forced to take a threeway path with them... That they say well we not like that anymore so byee

And people say women are too sensitive.

The MC also still hasn't been entirely honest with them because although he tells them that he was "cheating" with each of them, he forgot to mention the possible stuff with Sage and Bella, and that he arranged to go on a date with Jill.

Yeah, he's really the peak of honesty and Maya's the one who's a lying whore. Puh-lease.

lemme pull a reverse card you, can MC trust Maya? he's just met her and she wants him to open up to her to which he gambles and does even though he has his reasons not to as well. It's great that Maya realized and acknowledged that she should have opened up to him more, but it was a little too late the damage has already been dealt.

Social pressures around homosexuality are still serious, and particularly given the way Maya’s father reacted. And she did say she wasn’t ready to tell him everything. I mean, she has known him, what, a week? Two? Pretty early to be telling deeply held secrets.

So if MC has to earn her trust, doesn't that mean she has to earn his? Personally i don't care about that situation too much because at the end of the day neither of them are completely honest and that's fine by me. It's her specific request for honesty that bothers me, it's unreasonable.

Why not? He's attracted to her and if being 100% honest means getting into her pants, then that's what he'll do and does do.
