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

[Darkwen]

I only know one thing so that my MC could tell both of them based on their scores, and receive an ILY from each of them in return. Maya has 54 points and Josy 50 points.

We know from Episode 9 that the MC waits for the right moment to tell Josy and Maya that he wants to be with them. I think the same applies to the ILY in Episode 11. It doesn't matter whether he tells Maya or Josy, as both options are simply ideal to not leave unused. I even think that the ILY with Josy is more important because it's the only way for Josy to introduce the MC as her boyfriend to one of her parents.

You don't necessarily have to tell people in a three-way relationship at the same time to love them. That would mean they could only have sex at the same time, and we'd know they could all have sex just the two of them without the third person.

Many people think that the conversation between Maya and Josy in Episode 11 means the end of the three-way relationship. It doesn't. Josy and Maya talked, they didn't argue. On the contrary, the more I think about it, it was an important conversation because Maya clearly told Josy that Josy is important to her. That it's time for her to support Josy now. I believe that's what Josy wanted and needed to hear from Maya.

Considering mc being able say it is based on who he has more scenes with and or rp's if scenes within 2 and when you do it locks you into sleeping with that girl at Bella's i would expect that to keep going in 12. Since mine said it to Josy i don't expect a change to say it Maya in 12.

Which leads me to something interesting what if MC goes to Josy no matter what on throuple. We know Josy is getting a lewd scene at Iris's but is that scene even if you tell Maya you love her/ or choose not to say it yet, will he be given change there to say it or what if you only get the lewd scene if you tell josy in 11 you love her. The conversation in 11 looks like there last chance even more so since they throw all that away at the end but i won't put people through having to hear about that again
i seen in another place throuple fans are getting pretty nervous about where things are going and good reason 11 puts it in a bad place and the previews are doing nothing to help that if anything make it worse and that from people that want it to last. what ever happens at least ep12 will have the last word

 

[Blue Milk]

The decisive factor for a breakup will be the protagonist's response to Maya in episode 10, when she asks him if their relationships are similar to Melanie's with her friends or if theirs are different.

I find it amusing that people always cite this variable from the respective EP to explain something. Variables can also be added later. But I don't want to elaborate on this topic any further.

First of all, that moment in Ep 10 only grants + or - RP with Maya, nothing else. The choice of what you say there is not remembered in the game.

Secondly, even if he did add a variable to that moment when Ep 12 is released, it won't do anything for players who've already done Ep 10 because it doesn't retroactively get activated if you chose the more reassuring response way back when you last played Ep 10. The game doesn't know you did it if the variable is added retroactively. You'd have to go back and play Ep 10 again or cheese it by editing the save but only if you're made aware a variable was added. Also, to my knowledge, DPC never has never retroactively added a variable.

So only things with variables matter as the game remembers these and calls back to them later. If there's no variable then it doesn't which means that choice of what to to say to Maya there doesn't matter at all.

You wanted proof, and I delivered. The heart is considered the ultimate symbol of love.

You have got to be joking with this.

The emojis in her messages are proof of absolutely nothing when it comes to be any sort of determinative factor about the future of the throuple. She's doing it because she likes him but the game doesn't track or remember this in any potentially meaningful way, it's just a visual aesthetic for the text exchanges.

I personally think the throuple and the solo routes were part of the plan from the start and that moment isn't tracked because it just isn't significant beyond Maya's relationship points.

Well, if DPC had always intended for there be a way to solo relationships then he clearly didn't plan on making them a significant part of the game. It's 11 episodes in and they still haven't started and who knows if anything will even happen with them in Ep 12. I sincerely doubt that anything's going to happen in the episode such that a solo relationship has begun by the time it gets to the NYE party and even if there is some sort of rift, I doubt we're seeing them break up and then openly get with the MC solo in the short space of time this episode likely covers.

So if anything is happening on that front it may still not be unti S4 before there's any real movement on it and it probably won't get much in the way of content with the few episodes it will have.

My guess of the ILY leading to a solo route with the girl and the throuple breaking up is based on the fact that if MC says it he has to then go to Bella's party and sleep next to the girl he said it to. If he doesn't say it he can choose who he sleeps next to. I simply expect that in ep 12 every choice between Josy and Maya will be forced to match the ILY and eventually the other girl will feel too much like the third wheel. If MC doesn't say the ILY, you get to try to keep the throuple balanced. It may lead to MC saying the words to both of them.

So if MC said ILY you get the girl's solo scene. If he didn't say it you get a threesome scene.

Alternatively, perhaps it could be that the MC still has a chance to say it to the other girl. After all, they still want to talk more about the things that have been bothering Josy and they said the MC should be included in that, so it's possible that him saying ILY to one of them gets brought up and you have the opportunity to say it to the other girl there and then. If you haven't said it then this would be the chance to say it to both and maybe there could even some RP attached to it, like if you say it to both at the same time you get +5 and if you say it to the girl you haven't said it to then you get +1 for each.

Ultimately, the MC saying it to one girl first doesn't have to be a be-all-end-all choice because it can just be chalked up to the MC taking the opportunity with that girl when it presented itself and feeling the same for the other girl but just not having had the right moment for it yet.

I would argue quantity vs quality is the biggest problem with BaD.

• We love the quality of certain events, but there are too many other events, literally Other characters, free-roams, and pointless, redundant mini-games.
• We love the quality of characterization and drama, but it's fleeing and just a series of sub plots with no weight on anything.
• The story gets thrown about with no focus or goal; same with characters (why are they studying? Is life just parties and sex?)

So when we get a character like Sage who seems to want to be both the party animal/sex machine and the best girlfriend/wife to be, we call her "best girl".

Throw in Interlude, yet another Other in the form of Zoey, and destroyer of all that came before...

The creator is just scaling up, without considering quality. Time to release increases. Again, quantity over quality.

However:

• We love the quality of the music, their quantity, and their pairing. Those are pretty much excellent.

So BaD has it's highs, and lots of lows via quantity. If only the creator focused purely on plot, MG and characterization that goes somewhere, nothing would compare.

Well guys, I agree for the most part, but I must add that storytelling isn’t just about excitement. To truly enjoy the best scenes, you actually need time to 'chill' in between – like on a roller coaster. A coaster doesn't throw you around like crazy at every turn; it has elements of speed, recovery, and climbing up just to fall down again. Most of that applies to storytelling, too. Whether we want to admit it or not, we need time away from the things we love to enjoy them even more when we have them.

can' anyone explain why i don't like this game even
my explanation would be
mid character
mid story vast world too many things happening
not beautiful enough of character parts or body
not seductive enough as avn
not very much emotion
annoying tasks sometime nlt- media level
fuck around found out type thing
character doesn't bond with anybody



OR maybe i played too many games

and also i did't like summertime saga

OK, let's take these one at a time.

1. If you're referring to the MC, not sure what you think is "mid". The man has an elephant trunk for a cock which, whilst outlandish, is certainly not "mid". He's not the worst looking MC and he may not be an adonis of a male model, but he's still probably better looking than most guys and certainly moreso than the guys who frequent this site. About the only real complaint I think that can be had is how dense he often can be, but other than that he's by no means "mid".
2. The story is anything but "mid". The depth and breadth of it coupled with the intrigue and just he general emotional response that both the story and the characters get out of people is precisely why it's one of the most consistently popular AVNs out there. People literally say all the time they "came for the sex, stayed for the story" and people have a lot to say about this story with their theories, analyses, and just expressing their general enjoyment of it.
3. On this part you're just flat-out wrong. Thinking these girls aren't "beautiful enough" is the most L take of all L takes.
4. This just feels like you want the game to be in constant "horny mode" and can't appreciate not just how gripping the story is but also how gripping the characters are, especially the girls, and how they draw you in to really liking them because of how well written they are. So this game is seductive as it seduces you with good characters and good story.
5. Kinda linked to point #2 but this game is filled to the brim with emotion and emotional moments. You saying there isn't makes me think you haven't played it fully or are just can't even recognise the emotional moments.
6. The minigames are nowhere close to NLT level gameplay. His games are so frustrating they're not even worth playing. Here, the minigames are more like interesting distractions and they can also be turned off if you don't like them so they're not that much of an imposition.
7. Yeah, the "FAFO" aspect of choices actually having consequences is a good thing because they should. This isn't supposed be a low-grade, harem, "do whoever I want and get away with it" game, it's a slice-of-life game where choices and relationships matter and that's what makes it a good game.
8. Now you are really joking with this one, MC "doesn't bond with anybody". You obviously haven't played this game or if you did then haven't reallly played it to be able to understand or comprehend what it is you're playing because the MC bonds with so many people over the course of the game. He's literally the epitome of "Mr Popularity" and is forming bonds left, right, and center from the minute he walks and these are a major part of his character and this game.

Honestly, I don't think your problem is that you played "too many" games, it's either that you didn't really play this game or the games you have played were utter garbage slop such that you can't recognise a good game when it slaps you in the face with its massive cock

I think it's so the MC can confess his love to the other person in Episode 12. But it will be like in Episode 11. He can confess his love, but he doesn't have to. I also believe it's so that if the MC confesses his love to each of them separately, he tells them both at the same time on New Year's Eve, so that he loves them both.

As I've already written, in a three-person relationship, it shouldn't be a problem to have sex or say "I love you" just the two of them.

The conversation in Episode 11 isn't the last chance. Again, it's a conversation, not an argument. Josy's problem stems from two people: Oscar and Neil. The MC informed Josy about his conversation with his father. Josy admits it herself, so that it made her think. But I think this problem will resolve itself, and Neil will change his mind. Neil is a kind-hearted person, and he will welcome Maya and Josy with open arms.

Oscar, on the other hand, made Josy reconsider her hobbies, and Josy has found a new one. A hobby she enjoys. Josy realizes that in the past, she prioritized others over her interests, including her father and Maya. Therefore, it's good that Maya told Josy she cares and supports her now. That's how a relationship should be, with mutual support. It's a bit different with her father. Josy realizes she's only taking her finance course to make him proud, and that she doesn't enjoy it as much as she thought she would; she's only mediocre at it. Josy is growing up and becoming more independent. I can easily imagine her changing her major. Just look in the spoiler and wonder who else is coming to B&R.

It shouldn't be a issue to say it to both, but there to much well I can only see one not both with DPC. 11 makes me think I won't be getting the chance to say it to Maya even if I have the points since I said it to Josy. I think it going to be very telling what happens at Christmas. If it ends up being a date depend on choices 11 that not good sing for throuple if Josy ends up being who you go home with regardless it could go a couple of ways but if lewd scene is depended on ep11 that also isn't a good sing for throuple unless there second chance

Such a great answer. Just YES. Big times!

can' anyone explain why i don't like this game even

What motivates you to come to a game thread and say/ask this?
What are you expecting to hear in replies?
Legit curious, and this is for any forum member or any game, I'm very picky in games, I only legit like 10 games on this forum or around that, most I tried I thought were garbage, especially the writing, but what never crossed my mind was going to said games threads and ask that game fans what they think about I don't liking their mid game.
It's really fucking weird to me

The consensus is September '26, though some say August or October '26.

Next time do reply in English, unless you want to get nerfed to oblivion.

This is done so you can tell the other person in Episode 12. What if the MC doesn't tell the girl on the date in Episode 11 so he can show he loves her? If that means there's no date for the other girl in Episode 12, then the MJ branch would be pointless.

In Episode 12, you'll have the chance to confess your love to the other girl or reject her.

Also, here was the latest Status report.

This week, I focused on creating art for some special scenes in the big free-roam event. One of which required a lot of work because I was working with 50+ characters in the same scene - at one point, I stopped counting them and just worked through the scene. I completed that scene two days ago and have since been working on other, easier scenes.

I have 15 scenes left to create in the free roam event - about half of them need writing. There are some lewd scenes in the mix, too, and those won't be as fast to create as the rest. But I feel I'm close to completing the free roam, and I'm starting to plan what content to work on next.

When it's time to move on from the free roam event, I'll try to summarize what branches and kinds of content I have left to create for the episode.

The long cutscene animation I've been talking about in the recent updates is now 95% finished. Only two PCs are rendering the remaining two animations, so the last 5% of frames will take longer to render because fewer PCs are working on them. Still, the cutscene should finish rendering soon. The other PCs are working on other animations and static renders.

234 static renders and 14 animations are in the render queue. The animation count is running low, and I will animate some more in the upcoming weeks. I still have lewd scenes left to create and plenty of other planned animations that I'm excited to pose.

Freaking Christmas sneaked up on us, and it's now around the corner. I have scheduled some time off with my family. I'll be off on December 24, 26, and 31, and will work as usual the rest of the time. I plan to update you on the development progress as usual on Fridays.

I wish all of you who celebrate happy holidays! Stay safe and cherish the time you spend with your loved ones.

Love

Maybe it's just not your type of game, try something else.
