VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Chillout1984]

Dead wrong on several accounts for Jill.

She definitely comes out of her shell BIG TIME in Episode 11. It was probably her largest steps in coming out of her more introverted and naive personality. She starts to take the initiative, in particular on the the skiing trip; and the change room at the mall when shopping for clothes.

She also takes you to see Lana's grave for a more somber and personal scene.

It even starts imo in season 1, when Jill is willing to share the showers with MC if you have CHICK affinity.

The shower scene was a huge leap thinking about it, she just stands there and lets you have a fondle

Can you only go ice-skating with Maya ? I haven't had any one-on-one with Joey.

For sure! To have her open up from zero to 100 would just have been unbelievable. I like that it took her a bit to open up. After her tennis date talk about how people were after her for her last name, status, or money, she'd rightly be nervous.

She starts to see someone worth investing in over additional scenes. From being honest with her questions about the DIK Tybalt raid, her panty getting stolen, the "fire" that started, texting her about the Cathy cluck when it was released, etc. to him going up on stage to ensure she gets to do her recital she progressively gets more into the relationship. Once she starts to open up, it progresses steadily until chapter 11, when it's a small crack in the floodgates.

I'll be curious to see if she ever wears the clothes I suggested she buy (the ones that looked like Lana's which she noted they did).

You need to prioritize her a bit more throughout your run, pick her for hangouts in EP 7, 10 etc

I do wonder much drama Rusty will create in the future when on Jill's route, even though he currently has Micha now (unless she returns back to her on again/off again boy friend, which is pretty likely). It's unlikely, but it might even give special dialogue for even more drama if you have low RP with the DIKs/be a dick to every other DIK.

Probably only if MC fucks up their relationship thanks with Bianca/Zoey, there is no chance Jill gives shit about someone else when being with a Loyal MC.

I'd like to believe Rusty has taken the L graciously, but this is B&R where Arieth exists so anything can happen

Agreed with 4Zero9Zero. If you want to see "all" the throuple content, you'll need two saves. One that favors Josy and the other that favors Maya. Anytime you must do single events, choose the one that's favored for that save.

It'll affects a number of conversations in several chapters including Episode 11, as well as single moments/scenes.

So far there's only one scene I've found that favors balancing both. That's when they compare the MC's bodycount with them after the Halloween party. There is a change in the conversation and RP points if it's perfectly equal (yes it is doable!), or more/less lopsided to one or the other.

The release will be delay on Christmas 2026 to match the season in the game

Jill wouldn't care, but it might cause friction among the DIKs to the point that MC wants to either leave or let Rusty move down if he doesn't come to terms with himself.

I guess it has already been commented, but there must be a bug in the game, even though you choose to go to the gym competition you send messages to jill telling her that you will go to the concert.

Are you trying to get me to break 100?

 

[FalconLover420]

While I have respect for neil, I have to disagree on his takes for the throuple and Bella especially trying to convince the MC that well its not going to work out. It can work out, it just needs some things to iron out especially with josy and Maya. Maya had her whole fiasco of the loan that dictated whether she can be free from her father and Josy is experiencing some dilemma regarding her personality due to some asshole named oscar telling her she is basic. The same guy whose girlfriend you bang btw.

Bella while older has this going for her, she has no children (doesn't require the MC to start working to provide).
Independent and can give some sound advice.

Throuple route review. A story about untapped potential.
​

This brunch caused very conflicting emotions. On the one hand, there were funny moments that I laughed at like a retard, there were several emotional moments, there was a very hot lewd scene, some things didn't cause any emotions and, in general, there was a feeling of doom for this path. I runned three Throuple saves - with a focus on Maya, Josy and a balanced path where I paid equal attention to both girls. (In all my options, Patrick's documents were successfully stolen). Let's go.
First, I want to mention the Neil thing, where DPC couldn't without his favorite drama - he created a conflict between a father and a son. Neil is slightly conservative and doesn't understand polyamorous relationships and expressed skepticism, Tremolo turned Karen mode and was butthurt. Our guy cannot react sensibly to criticism and began to aggressively defend himself. Neil just needs time to understand the situation and he was as polite as possible. But this is part of the conflict of this relationship - the fear that "Our parents will never understand us"
Structure. This path is the poorest in terms of events. Two short dates with Maya or Josy - game choose itself, depending on which girl was given more attention/more RP points and a funny scene in the classroom. One LEWD scene (but a banger). In terms of content, this is of course a disappointment with a consolation prize. The other routes are much richer and emotionally stronger.

Dates and interactions, characters development. I'll start with Maya.
Maya can finally gain freedom after resolving the loan issue and reconciling with Patrick. I see Maya as a more mature person. She has a dream and a goal in life that she wants to achieve. Family problems inspired her to become a social worker to help troubled families. Maya prefers to look at these situations from both sides, not admitting that situations are only black and white. She admits that she often pushes buttons on Patrick and was not always right. This speaks of emotional maturity. At the same time, she is ready to defend herself, giving an ultimatum that if he doesn't acknowledge her as she is, he may not consider her his daughter. Maya takes out a student loan to become independent. She is no longer a “Damsel in distress”. It is amazing how the characters change throughout the story
The ice skating date was great. This is a powerful emotional moment when Maya shares her fears that she might inherit her mother's genetic disease. She is afraid that MC will repeat Patrick's fate with an unhappy life and doesn't want this. DPC even attributed her skin condition to this. Okay Doc, you got it out of this. This was the most powerful moment of the entire Throuple route and Maya's sub-route is my favorite. Amazing scene:

Josy. Here is not all that great. DPC tried to give her development, to gave her depth, came up with a fashion blog for her as a hobby, made her a little bolder - she started talking to Maya about the problems in their relationship, starting the communication that they lacked so much. But she still has huge problems with self-doubt and doesn't know what she wants. Still doesn't have her own storyline. I just don't understand Josy's purpose now that Maya's problems have been solved. But now it seems like Josy herself is the source of new problems. She is not sure what she wants from life, and not even sure about their relationship, not knowing what feelings she has for Maya. Even if we have a successful, stable Throuple - Josy feels down. It's like Josy now will be the next drama starter in throuple.
What led to her being the way she is?
On a date with Josy, we learned about her mother, Iris. The date itself was very ordinary and didn't cause me any strong emotions, only the video call with her mom was memorable. Iris is a very unpleasant, toxic person. A typical corporate bitch from a glass skyscraper - I had the impression that I was talking to Hanako Arasaka. And she treats her daughter badly, like a business project:

Maybe she suffered because there were always high expectations for her from her mom. But it's all pretty boring. DPC failed to make her an interesting character - even her hobby is basic AF. "Josy feels lost" is a weak line to interest the player. But overall, fashion as a hobby suits her, Josy has always been able to dress well, better than most Lis. Stop... wait a minute!

What's wrong with the students at B&R? Bananas, and now ducks... Everyone's kind of gone nuts at this place, but okay...

There is only one Lewd scene and it is the cherry on the cake of this path - a hot threesome with BDSM elements and at the same time it is funny when the girls because of inexperience, try to understand what sex toys are for. Arieth should have given instructions how to use it Without a doubts, this is the best Lewd in the update.

Also amused by the scene with the remote controller in the classroom, it was funny, specially Josy version :

And now about the dark things. No matter how hard I try, can't play the balance - the game finds an advantage in favor of one of the girls and sends them along the path automatically, without giving the opportunity for a manual choice. Everything is heading towards the Throuple crisis, where they will have to test their relationship - it seems that this is a fixed point in time. We can tell one of the girls that we love her, the second one will find out about it. After Bella's party, we get a symbolic scene on the couch about what awaits us:

Can you smell this drama coming? Maybe, The Throuple is doomed?

I'd just like to say your reviews are really well done, I appreciate them and nice Cyberpunk reference.

Josy comes up with the BDSM anal idea, but is too chicken to go first, "graciously" has Maya do it so Josy knows what to do.
Josy can't handle the vibrator in class, but Maya goes all the way

Maya supremacy

Josy needs to step up her game, she backed out of getting her tongue pierced after she pushed for them to get it done together.

Maya supremacy indeed!

MC also didn't do the best job explaining it

MC did a bad job explaining the Zoey situation to both Sage and Jill too. A nice simple "She was the only friend I had for most of my life" would have gone a long way to help them better understand.

Updating to 11.1 fixed this for me

Maya is slowly but surely getting her shit together, but Josy is unraveling, and is now the biggest threat to the throuple's success. So even if MC did manage to convince Neil, I don't think Josy's problems would go away.

As for Bella, there's still the small details of her being married on paper and being MC's teacher. I think for Neil, that would unfortunately override his usual advice of "follow your heart" (like on the throuple path). And you meant "has no children yet

Sage was right though, Zoey was lying in wait and ready to pounce. She didn't want to be "just friends" anymore. Sage and Jill trust MC, but like Sage said, "she doesn't trust her."

That is why I think DPC should keep the throuple alive and all of this, they will break up idea is bleh.
Now the one that needs the help is Josy after helping maya.

I think MC can convince Neil but the MC unfortunately is an idiot in important moments. Again its doable, it just needs some work.

If only her husband had been missing for 7+ years, than just about every jurisdiction would consider him presumed dead and she'd no longer be married. But I'm guessing it's only been a few years for a specific reason, story-wise.

The teacher thing is a whole different ball game. But once he's done English and the other optional course he has with her (research methodologies?) then she's no longer his teacher again and just a librarian.

Odd she's the only one that can teach the course though, and Cathy was the only English teacher at the school. If she was unavailable for whatever reason then the required English course and optional research course would have been scrapped?
