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

[dalli_x]

I don't recall her saying anything about going back to her Mom, she was talking about moving to the east coast, her Mom lives in the same town as B&R.

Unlikely or very contradictory. Either it's a mistake in DPC's narration or there are Josy twins.

In EP2, Josy Date tells Josy that her mother lives several hours away by car. But the MC gave Josy a ride home in EP1. I mean, the MC is strong, but he's no Superman.

But when Josy arrived at B&R, before she went to the bathroom, she said it was a long ride. But the MC didn't take that long to get to his birthday. He took the train there and back in one day. Things get weird in the EP4 Josy and Maya flashback. It seems that Josy lived in the town where B&R is located.

Reminds me a bit of the race between the rabbit and the hedgehog.

Unless we add another component. She has relatives in the town of B&R. Josy seems to know Tybalt well (we learn this in EP8) and Tybalt knew that Josy and Maya had a relationship. Accordingly, the relatives would have to have a close relationship with the Burke's or the Burke's are part of the relatives.

Josy doesn't like Monica because according to her she was the cause of her parents' divorce, So... How did Josy's father gain custody of her? in a court her father would never have custody over the mother

I doubt that she would have been 18 when that happened the time of the events would not make sense her being a minor the court would appeal in favor of the mother and give custody to her unless she cannot take care of Josy's child due to financial problems and mental or both but Josy's father would have to give support to the mother as long as Josy's mother does not get married so what has he done DPC with Josy's mother because there is still no sign of her in the 8 chapters

Yeah I mixed up some lines from the episode 4 flashback . Its seems during the Flashback, Josy was living with her mother, and saying she will not comeback for nothing, and she has friend where her Dad lives too.

But who cares anyway, surely not Me

That's not true.

Anyways, if you are old enough you can decide with whom you want to live with.

 

[AchedCroissant]

Questionable comment, because she always wants to be accepted by her dad. Sure their relationship isn't good and she's not really on his good side, but to go as for to say that Maya wouldn't care if Patrick died is outrageous. Keep calm and keep the Dalli out of yourself.

In general, I don't wish him death, I only speak for cases where it usually happens... I just hope that DPC makes the MC visit Maya's parents at Sunday lunch and see that Nora is Maya's mother

 

[AchedCroissant]

That's not true.

Did you read what I wrote or did you just skip the lines I said very well if she was 18 she could easily tell but the time would not make sense because if he divorced Josy's mother I doubt that everything would happen in the same year that Josy would be 18

Divorces generally take time to materialize, it is not something that happens from one day to the next.

DPC still has to explain this case

Yeah, and Madam is Tommy's mother, Monica . Maybe that's how Tommy get the job in the pink Rose , thanks to his mom connections

 

[AchedCroissant]

Nah, you know when Josy's father arrive and Maya gets sad, and jealous of their relationship that's not someone who would not give a shit if her father dies, at least not yet. But that's just my opinion

It is normal, she saw something that she has never had or that she has lost. DPC only uses the fathers issues because the girls love the fathers more than the mothers in the case of men it is the opposite they feel more love for their mother than for their father SO CLICHE

 

[ChipLecsap]

DPC still has to explain this case

No he doesn't, unless it's became important, he does not have to explain, that never lead to any good thing. He tried to explain already too many thing that should have just leave it to be as it was.
Maya's money problem , Mc's mother , Zoey.

Your first line was " in a court her father would never have custody over the mother ". That's what I am mainly responding to. It's not entirely true.

I am very aware divorces can take time because I am the child of divorced parents.

DPC still has to explain this case

No, because who cares. There are other story line that need to be further explained. I want know more about Bella's Crypto Mining Farm she keeps in her locked room.

CLICHE is CLICHE for a reason. Because it's often true, it is stereotypical that, Boy like their mothers more , and girls love their dad more. Becasue of this I can understand where DavDR came from, except, Josy is not stereotypical . He just want to force this stereotypical on her.
Whereas Maya is stereotypical. It does not mean it's bad or good it's just the way it is. Maya wants her father's approval, and love. He just not worth it, and thats what she need to learn,

 

[AchedCroissant]

No he doesn't, unless it's became important, he does not have to explain, that never lead to any good thing. He tried to explain already too many thing that should have just leave it to be as it was.
Maya's money problem , Mc's mother , Zoey.

DPC needs to close several problems and there are still many problems in history but the problem is that how would you cover those problems? Maya's problems are from the beginning but if he decides to close that problem what will be the next "arc"?

The problem that I see here is that DPC had to make different plots according to the route that the player chooses because making problems with Isabella when a player is not on her route or branch like you for example would not make sense

I hope he doesn't but he will continue to stretch this Maya thing for many chapters I just hope that with the arrival of Zoey it will be something to change the story and create another conflict

 

[Killerwhale5678]

I wouldn't expect much to happen, at least not in the short term. I mean if it's *really* bad, sure, that could provoke a crisis, but we're talking "pyromaniac redheaded ghost!" bad. Short of that, I think we'd just see increased polarization of the fan base. The wait for Episode 9 would have more frequent and more caustic arguments than usual. Zoey would probably be the new Maya. And maybe DPC's Patreon numbers would level off (rather than slowly grow), but I think that would be the extent of it. At the end of the day, the Interlude is just a side dish; my guess is most people will wait for the main course before they demand to speak to the chef.

That said, if the Interlude goes over badly it would definitely raise the stakes for Episode 9 (and for Zoey in particular). DPC would need to keep the focus closer to the existing main girls, which in turn could make it harder to get Zoey up to speed. If DPC still manages to deliver, the Interlude's problems should fade into the background. It would be like the poor resolution to the M&J crisis in Episode 4; it's not forgotten, but most people are content not to pick at old wounds. If the problems with the Interlude continue into Episode 9, however, I think that's when you'd start to see people losing interest in the game in large enough numbers to matter. Even then it would be a slow process unless DPC really screws the pooch.



I take your point and generally agree. As much as I'd like new Episodes sooner, I'm okay with DPC taking his time to get them right.

It seems as so the DPC in the middle of writing episode 8 abruptly decided to add Zoey back in the game.Which fine but when you decide to take time off from the main story so you can write about a character most people won't care about anyway looks selfish and won't do anyone any good.

 

[NoNameNeeded]

OK, here's a question for everyone. If you had known before you ever played BaDIK that it could take nine to eleven years to complete, would you have still played the game?

If it does it does.
I'll treat this as the rest of the games I DL from here.
If there's an update and I like the game then I'll DL and play it.
If not?
Well, there are tons of games to give a shot. It's not like I pay for them I don't get upset about it.
Sure it'd be nice with a quicker update cycle for good games but it's not that big of a pain.

What can get to me is if there are several games I follow release updates at the same time. Then waiting can become a bit much.
Not to mention I'll have to hunt for other games to tide me over.

 

[AchedCroissant]

"Fucking a Milf" in this game doesn't bring anything good... At least Isabella can't screw up her own route... Or so I hope.

Josy was having trouble with her relation with Maya because she moved to live with her father, after that she is working at the same store the MC works and they're both awaiting acceptance for college... Maya and Josy hooked up in that backflash Derek also hooked up with the other girl because they all were going to another school.... (was his last chance to do so or whatever)
So most likely Josy has only been living with her father for a few months.

 

[dalli_x]

I've got something to show you guys. Derek is talking about the twins at his high school. Becky has a crush on Rick.

Becky=B
Rick=R

Who is Derek pointing at? Is the MC maybe Rick and has a twin brother named Paulie?

I'll just give you a like to end that conversation (Omicron has me with a fever and I need to rest for a while)

Some people just want to watch the world burn.
