Sage's path is bit weird in general to me in that it's basically forced on you without any question. Like, the MC just decides for himself to throw a hissy fit he wants to be more than fuckbuddies, and through the entire scene i was sitting there and going "uhh you know, i was actually fine with this arrangement; where's my option to just keep it this way."
I don't even know why MC was mad about Maya and Josie being together. It seemed awesome to me.

A completionist doesn't care how he does it, only just he does it.

Also I know now how much work it'd take. I already talked to Sancho about it and I did indeed underestimate how convoluted the script for this game is. It's not that hard for the dev to do it, pretty sure there's a whole team behind the game after all. It's just grunt work. Some problems might indeed arise later on in the game depending on how the dev chooses to advance the story but at that point(if he chooses to make a harem route) he can adapt the code going forward plus he can just make an event later on(preferably towards the end) making you choose between the girls instead of making it so abrupt.
The game is a one person job, DPC refuses to work with a team. He's deliberately set the game up that to see all the scenes you need multiple playthroughs, it's actually set up pretty quickly in that way, albeit with renders rather than whole scenes: you can only see certain things as a CHICK or a DIK, you can't see everything in the first two episodes no matter what your affinity.

For example you can only ask Sage about her g-string if you're a DIK and you can only check Maya out in her dorm if you're a CHICK. There's also a choice on the Josy date that can't be got through neutral, you have to be one or the other.

Pretty sure? Based on what? DPC has said time and again he doesn't have a team, and will never have a team. He doesn't write the music, and there's a hired gun for the 2D art. And there are beta-testers. But that's about it. DPC does all the rest himself. Are you calling DPC a liar?

Excuse me for having a life and not researching every word or statement by the dev..

It's a shame the common sense choices make you a DIK. To become a Chick you have to go out of your way to be one.

Ah the old "having a life" excuse when being called out on making wild assumptions with no basis of fact. Carry on then.

If you don't know, don't make a "pretty sure" statement.
Except it's not a wild assumption. It's a 20GB game with some of the best writing and art I've ever seen in a porn game. Lesser games have dev teams - it only makes sense this one does too. And you weren't just calling me out - you went full incel there earlier.

Question: If you are on the Sage path, but don't sleep with her after the movie night, does MC still nail her at the prep party on Tybalt's bed?

Has there been any hint as to what MC did after he returned to Maya's room after the first Pink Rose visit?

In her letter, Maya writes that she hopes MC doesn't remember what he did.
No, not so far.

Question: If you are on the Sage path, but don't sleep with her after the movie night, does MC still nail her at the prep party on Tybalt's bed?
Yes. The prep party scene is only dependent on being Sage's FB. You can refuse her after movie night but remain on that path.

Right. I mute every Renpy game before playing it.
Really don't understand why people do that.

Especially for a game like Badik were the music just adds an extra dimension to the scene. True most games just put in generic music but DPC makes it a true art to find the best music which makes the scene... complete. Not only the mood of most songs but also the lyrics which in alot of cases just fits that specific scene.
Not many VN's have this and that makes it, imho, one of the best if not the best VN currently online.

I hope there will be an option to break up MJ relationship in later episodes, if you're on DIK path and were rejected by them. You can hit on Josy and she has feelings for MC afterall.

By the way, the first time she has a "kind and positive" smile:
Speaking of which, I always really liked this shot of her from the last episode. I think you can really see the affection she has for the MC in her expression - eyes, smile and slight tilt of her head (and you only see this if you've had the bench scene earlier). Sure she's telling him to shut up, but the context is friendly.
