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

[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 .

 

[Blue Milk]

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.

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.

Have you considered that those moments you listed are exactly there just for give you the option for the solo path, and so the player could feel special about himself?
Its serv their porpuse in a way that shown the player that the chosen girl will love him " better "
But in the end of the day it is enterly up to the player how this will play out .

Even the love confession has various way it can be played out. If you have too much Cheat point, its not even come up, if you not have enough rp point , they not say it back ,and even if you have all the options , you as player you still have the option to not say it to them , possibly leaving it for future to a scene where MC say the I love you to both of them.

Blue Milk,
does have a point , you a bit narrow minded, and hyper focusing on details that favor toward the solo path, because that is your priority, and it's almost feel like you are afraid you wont get it, so as comfort you focus on only these little things , that are litellary there for this reason, to give you comfort .

Its seem like it's not the " throuple fans " who are insecure , but rather you , that is why you want to convince yourself they are doomed to fail no matter what

It serves a purpose to show the player what his girl wants if she has the same feelings, that part of why Josy just says she glad Maya isn't there and doesn't say more about it which plays into why the girls forget each other so fast after there talk. I focus on those details because the game makes you.

Going into ep11 I will admit to being worried that my dreams of solo Josy could come to a end the 3some was worrisome for me but ep11 ended up being the best thing i could ever hope for shot of the actual breakup happening, I went in worried I came out without a single fear about if it going to happen. So i must disagree with you Blue Milk doesn't have a point if anything i have to much confidence in it happening and I go over broad about it.

Since the beginning of the game, I've always followed the Maya+Josy path. But now I'm giving up on both. From now on, the only way is "Hot Milf" Iris

That's my point, If you would not have those moment where Josy / Maya say they prefer the player, you will not feel so positive about a possible solo path.

But because you get those scenes does not automatically means, the throuple has no chance and a break up will come . In order to achieve a solo path you will have to work for it, the same way as a throuple fans will have to work for their desired outcomes , neither of it is writen in stone yet, we literally playing and influencing the outcomes.

and that is what you try to deny by being narrow minded , and I think this is what Blue Milk , try to tell you.

It's kind of a similar way, as you believe that as even if we are not on their path you convinced yourself they gonna break up, despite it's shown the opposite by the game itself.


but if the narrow minded is a bit too hurtful to you and that is you main problem, than let me use a different definition:

but if the narrow minded is a bit too hurtful to you and that is you main problem, than let me use a different definition.

Wishful thinking

Wishful thinking is the formation of beliefs based on what one wants to be true, rather than on evidence or reality. It is a cognitive bias where a desire for a certain outcome overrides rational judgment, leading to the assumption that something is true or possible simply because one wishes it to be so.

That’s it! DPC is done with all of this nonsense and all of you. The ending you all get is the MC having a lonely jerk off of the DIK mansion rooftop while watching the feminists down below. Why do people have to ruin it for all of us?

 

[robrize2169]

i think the conversation mc has with Zoey at the cookout should have been choice driven. to tell her she was his first love or not to. and have it affect whether or not Zoey realized she was in love with Fuckface too. would have made the next episode more interesting and less dramatic. which i prefer. i have always preferred the light hearted fun mc to the introspective, dramatic mc. just my opinion.
