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

[AchedCroissant]

The developer himself admits that the interlude was a way for him to catch his breath and take a break from the game that he has been making for three years. He practically burned down on episode 8, a loved one died, it's hard to expect and demand something from him. Interlude is a sweet story, it has a lot of interesting play mechanics (like Zoey's diary), but Zoey is not interesting to anyone.
If he had made a similar Interlude about Riona or Quinn, he would not have been so condemned here

They banned your main account and you created this one to repeat the same old thing?

What if Burke refuses to help Maya, she curls up and cries, Josy begins hulking up, rips her letter jacket and leg drops Maya, into the biggest face turn in history of BAD. What are you gonna do then, huh?

That would happen in a world where my homie is not a homie

But seriously if that happens we won't have a preview of Maya with the MC

Yeah, PashafromRussia didn't do a good job at being sneaky
Repeating the same claims from before? (The developer said that, the developer said this,....) And ranting about the Interlude? With that new account name (which is an abbreviation of an old one)?
Yeah, my guy isn't even trying

All the ensuing intrigue about a deal for sexual favors within the Burgmeister&Royce institution hangs on the meeting between the counselor and Maya, so I can't see him refusing to help this girl who is willing to do anything to study here.

I have a question Jill's sister [confirmed dead] or [just gone?]

 

[Traitus]

DPC does not care about antiNTR complaints, he cares about patreons' money and he is not going to risk a penny on the issue

but the problems of the interlude go a bit beyond the triangle that isn't there, which in the end is just an additional (tendentially pointless) reason for Zoey to leave San Diego (besides the fact that she has no more money of course, who knows why she doesn't have as many fans...)

would like to be an extended story, instead it proceeds in jumps not covering any issue satisfactorily

Zoey goes from wanting to let MC go in her new life (ghosting him) to wanting to be a part of it again by listening to the chatter of a group of uninformed people, who are clearly not sentimentally mature, in a way that is useful to the narrative, but very unnatural

it's all an ups and downs of emotions, at least for me, not very engaging and the Zoey who returns from San Diego is exactly the one who left, the evolution is really minimal, or do you think she now knows what she wants?

Objection!!!
The interlude its just a big justification of why Zoey didn't fuck anyone in her time away from MC and now wants to jump on his cock again.

EXACTLY if DPC hadn't of coddled the sensabilities of the readers so much and made Zoey out to be a manipulated love sick puppy which seems so out of character from the bad ass she looks like as well as the detention underage drinking trouble maker we were led to believe from the flashback it would have been great.

But for the sake of the FANS alone he gave us Jill mache two instead of Quinn Josy hybrid we deserved.

Doesn't seem like something Jill would make up. And I don't see DPC pulling the 'I thought you were dead' stunt, as he already has so many unresolved plot lines right now. So confirmed.

Game development is always risky. It is impossible to please everyone, there will be a dissatisfied whiner who will complain about the decisions of the developer. He took a risk with the controversial Interlude, which turned the whole script upside down, but not completely. Unsubscribing from Patreon a dozen donators is not a problem. There will always be the new subscribers
The best way is to make the game the way you want and not to adapt to the wishes of others.

I have a crazy theory. The Royces hid her in a mental hospital and pass her off as dead/missing. This is a very conservative, closed "royal" family that is obsessed with their reputation. Remember what Jill said? In our family, if you don't act like Royce, it's easy to become an outcast. They do not want the white crow to dishonor their family. They got tired of enduring Lana's rebellious punk antics and sent her into isolation in a madhouse. Rich and powerful people can arrange this. Perhaps Jill knows what is really happening with Lana and she is preparing for a support campaign, looking for influential allies. "Campaign for Lana" - with a lot of complex preparation, we can still see the materials on her desk during the penetration. I don't think such an effort is just to honor a dead sister, Jill wants to go against her family.
Just a theory, we'll see about that.

"Royce family, but you can also call them The Kennedy's"

No one. It's a different game. Acting Lessons was a psychological thriller, baDIK is a college American pie-style comedy with drama elements
