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

[Darkwen]

You're literally talking in circles right now because what I said was a deep-dive into how the Megan/Melissa thing in AL is in fact entirely different to how the Josy/Maya relationship is explored in this game. All you're doing is ignoring it and just being like, "Nah bro, because I don't wanna see it that way".

You've glossed over single actual fact I mentioned about their differences which does in fact make you willfully ignorant as does you thinking that a creator/writer is just going to repeat themselves and can never do anything different.

How am I talking in circles? there was nothing deep in to what you said just a lot of words. Megan and Missy are the bases for Josy and Maya that isn't even debate it doesn't even a little that Megan and Missy wasn't dating they still the relationships things center around just like Josy and Maya. And while there are differences between them it is not entirely different you could still go after both girls only difference before there could be a throuple you have to kill one at least DPC give you a throuple before having to pick one or who knows maybe give you both thought i wouldn't feel good about that but maybe there hope.

This has nothing to do with me trying to see things the way I want to im not ignoring anything i don't have any reason to that, clearly your very defensed and trying to will your point of view to be right

there was nothing deep in to what you said just a lot of words

The fact that you put it that way just shows your ignorance.

Megan and Missy are the bases for Josy and Maya that isn't even debate it doesn't even a little that Megan and Missy wasn't dating they still the relationships things center around just like Josy and Maya

You are incredibly narrow-minded to think that it's a like-for-like. All you see is "possible throuple that never was" and "actual throuple that is" as the same when they are not because of that obvious distinction.

Like I said, where you are with Josy & Maya in Ep 4 is where you were with Megan & Melissa when choosing both of them. BaDIK has gone way beyond anything AL did with Megan & Melissa which means they are incomparable now as a result because one ended before it began and the other has you navigating an actual throuple relationship and getting time with both in a way you never did with Megan & Melissa.

That is just straight-up fact.

maybe give you both thought i wouldn't feel good about that

Who cares about whether you don't feel good about there being a path for both? You obviously don't like it or want it but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be possible especially when, and I emphasise this again, it is a main branch of this game to be in a relationship with both in a throuple and it was never a main branch in AL to be with Megan & Melissa in a throuple. AL was a fakeout, a subversion of what people thought would happen. Doing that again when you've made such a thing an actual main branch in your game would just be a complete waste by having done that because since he's put this in the same category as paths for Sage, Jill, and Bella, it seems a clear signal that these are the most important paths with guaranteed endings precisely because of their status as main branches. By contrast, AL promoted Megan, Melissa, and Rena as the main girls/branches but never promoted Megan & Melissa as a main branch which is why it was able to be ended.

I personally do not care if there's a path to be able to get each of the girls solo, whether that is through the throuple path or from the Others path. DPC giving such an option is just another branch in an already heavily branching game and it's no skin off my nose if it happens. I won't play such a path, but if it's there for those that want it, more power to you. But all I seem to see from the throuple doubters are either that they just don't want it or they cling to this notion of "realism" in a fictional story (even though throuples do exist in the real world).

Folks like this also seem to latch on tightly to that sole example of a near-throuple that was never even a main branch in a very different game as somehow being a precedent despite the obvious differences to how this actual throuple path in BaDIK is, how much deeper things go than AL did, and how the prominence of this relationship branch in BaDIK is totally different. It's essentially like that Office meme, only instead of looking at 2 things that actually are the same picture, people are looking at a square and M.C. Escher's "stairs" artwork and saying they're the same. Some have a very simplistic view of it, and others see it for the obviously different and more complex thing it actually is.

Do you have anything better to do then just call me narrow minded and ignorant if not then just stop because it just makes you look stupid, if I didn't know any better i would think you this jackass from discord no one likes.

You have proven yourself wrong. I want solo Josy and by the way things going I feel very safe in saying it looks very good that I will get it. I actually do have a balance throuple path back when I like Maya back in ep 10. You are doing a lot of assuming and doing a great job of making yourself look like the first letters so well done

I want solo Josy i don't hide that also im not against there being a path to save the throuple I simply do not think there will be based on what the game shows and if you can't accept that then that got nothing to do with me but everything to do with you.

if you had real facts which clearly you do not you would stick to them instead of attacking someone whats -a- matter mr err there a Josy and maya path there for you have to get both DPC owes me err I write long ass essays there for I know everything whats wrong scared your wrong about everything?

 

[ChipLecsap]

OMG, after all this years there is still "throuple talk " ?!
Yes, there will be solo ending for them, and threeway ending for them, and if you decide to go back to Zoey that is another outcome.
It's really not that complicated

 

[Blue Milk]

Do you have anything better to do then just call me narrow minded and ignorant

Well, if you make a statement that "lots of words" means there's nothing factual in them, that just does seem a little ignorant to me, so I'm just calling a spade a spade.

And yes, saying that you think because something was done once means it just has to happen again despite the clear differences does indeed make you a little narrow-minded to not even consider that things can be done differently.

You have proven yourself wrong. I want solo Josy

And this disproves the notion that your want of a solo path is your reasoning for why you don't think a throuple ending happens how?

This post right here was literally full of facts about the clear and obvious differences between these relationships in their respective games. I literally am sticking to these and others about how this relationship is not the same thing as what we saw in AL and that it does not set a precedent because it is one very different situation in a very different game. I'm just saying that since you don't want seem to want to acknowledge any of the legitimate points being made and that you continually brush them off as just "too many words" and stick purely to your own desired perception, that it does make you seem a tad obtuse.

A succinct and sane assessment that is much appreciated

Also, forgive me if this has been covered too much. I'm not here very often

Some throuple fans can't handle that

 

[ChipLecsap]

Some throuple fans can't handle that

I don't know what they can't handle, those who want a throuple ending, will get one . I really don't get this back and forth between you and Blue Milk , you will both get what you want, what is the problem ?!

You know what , I don't care

I take it you didn't read what i said. I have never said I don't want a throuple ending it just isn't a path im interested in playing anymore because I do not think DPC is going to give a throuple ending which has nothing to do with my desire for solo Josy. The fact DPC never lets you pick both girls and plus the very poor state of there relationship all through the game leads me to believe what i do which is based not on what i want but what the game shows over and over again

I have said a million times there could be a throuple ending and solo endings clearly you are ignoring that fact I wouldn't call someone ignorant when your the one guilty of it bad throuple fan

 

[Darkwen]

I don't know what they can't handle, those who want a throuple ending, will get one . I really don't get this back and forth between you and Blue Milk , you will both get what you want, what is the problem ?!

You know what , I don't care

Im ok with throuple fans getting there ending even if i don't think it going to happen i accept it if it does
since as you said solo and throuple can get what they want. He has a massive issue if that or has Darkwen Derangement Syndrome maybe both lol

Are u BooBMan or AssMan ??

 

[glaslow]

To be fair, while I don't think the other guy's pessimism is warranted I do think if any dev is willing to give a huge middle finger to genre expectations it's DPC. He already does it pretty regularly and continues to include elements many of his players hate simply because they fit his vision of the game, not because they build to the "best" narrative. And in some ways, that willingness to go outside the box and do what no one else does is part of what makes this game so great, but it can also be infuriating at times. See the sudden erectile dysfunction last episode, the puzzle box, or every discussion ever about minigames.

I can totally see some of the relationships simply not working out. The throuple does seem pretty doomed, and while with most devs I would expect some tightrope walk to get that perfect outcome I don't think any conversation about it will ever escape the shadow of the house fire. Bella's route is obviously a ticking time bomb, Sage is leaving at the end of the year, and Jill has her own shit going on. That isn't to say they'll all fail - in any other game I'd expect success to be the default for each - but I can see any one of them ending on a "just friends" note.

Of course, we still have a whole nother season ahead of us to solve some of this drama and further strengthen our relationships, so I think a lot of this stuff will go away once we're closer to the finish line. I don't think most of the routes are doomed to fail, and it could very well be that none of them are. I could see them ending up as super specific win conditions, but knowing how unhinged some people in this forum are I would dread the reaction if any of them are forced bad ends. But I can't quite shake the idea that at least one of these relationships just isn't meant to work out, no matter what.

I don't think most of them are doomed to failure either. People just seem to be just taking the idea of exploring the possibility of it personally and lashing out at me. The only one I know won't make it is the throuple and one guy listed games like leap of faith as happy ending, but the throuple fails there too. The one game that isn't really a harem (at least from what I have played.) where the throuple seemed to make it was Bare Witness and that ending feels super forced in my opinion. Even the chasing Sunsets one fails if you don't get one condition correct, which I guess this guy gets his pigeon hole happy ending kinda. Also in chasing sunsets the Lisa relationship fails. So it isn't like stuff like this hasn't happened at all before. I agree the DPC will do what he likes best and usurp expectations in some ways. We will find out in 5 years how it all ends .

The fact DPC never lets you pick both girls and plus the very poor state of there relationship all through the game leads me to believe what i do which is based not on what i want but what the game shows over and over again

And this is where I see the narrow-mindedness because you only see the complexities of the relationship and you hyper focus on those and the roadblocks they've faced along the way whilst not only ignoring all the parts where it's made clear the girls have a strong connection to each other with their shared feelings, but also ignore the good and happy moments not just between Josy & Maya but also with all 3 of them together.

I don't deny that choices could lead in either direction, but that's the important point; choices. It will be the choices of the player that decide what will happen because even if you think a relationship is in a rough spot, there is nothing to say it can't be worked on and made better. It's perfectly feasible that this path is about this, that it's not meant to be easy and you could fail at it, but that you could also succeed at it if you are able to overcome the obstacles and the issues. Only seeing the negatives which just so happen to align with your wants just feels like an unwillingness to see the other side.

is there a file for translating this game into spanish? the mega file dont exist... is down

I don't really think im ignoring any part of the relationship but some reason you feel the need to call me narrow minded what ever i rather this not get heated, though would be nice if you could cut it out unless i earn it . I admit there very well could be a happy end for the 3 of them my faith in it is very low when you have Josy being happy Maya isn't around and even telling Maya she can't say she loves her like she does MC, Maya even admit they have to figure out where they headed your hopeful they will finally figure out after 12 eps i don't have any faith they will but will admit it could happen and if it does im ok with it since there will be path where you can get one of them.

This is amazing. Everybody so happy with a preview. The cum is up to the ceiling. That coming from a dev who is freeloading on all of his sponsors.

Taking so much time to produce an update. This is crazy, seeing how much money he makes. Every month an amazing amount of money is flowing in there. And for what?

I really love this game. But seeing how this dev is handling his sponsors makes me puke. Sorry for this and keep on paying. I am sure that I will love the update. When it finally arrives in july 2026. FOR FREE!

Have a look at his stats now. It is insane for doing little!

This is why we pay. To help you poor people enjoy games for free. It feels good to give back.

I LOVE YOU! But I am not poor. Money enough. But not for this kind of devs.

This is Darkwen reading a wall of text: ha-ha, how did you get through this neural network nonsense?

I wouldn't compare M+J to a game about actors, if only because no one in their right mind would choose Megan when they could have Melissa.
M+J would be interesting in any combination. They had the best threesome scene, and I'm sure there will be more. Josie has a lot of fans, and Maya is a friendly version of Quinn.
Both have a sense of humor and like to tease the MC. Maya is sweeter, more playful, and more innocent in her jokes than Quinn.
