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

[Blue Milk]

And we see how nothing has changed since the MC. Just as the solution to Patrick's problem didn't change the situation. Especially for Josy, where her chemistry with Maya ended. They can communicate as well as they want, but it won't work if one of the partners cools off with feelings.

If by that you mean not being on their path didn't improve things between them, that's because they were still going through the same issue with the Patrick wedge as they do when on the path and it's not until that cloud has passed that they see clear to how they've drifted apart. The resolution of the Patrick situation therefore did change the situation because it made them awaken to the issue they have even if they only reckoned with it in their minds, but then it gets vocalised soon after in Ep 11 and they both want to make it better by opening up more, communicating more, and making more time for each other which is what they will do. If either truly felt like it had ended they wouldn't have done that, but they did, because they still feel that they want this. Whether they are successful remains to be seen but there's no reason it can't be possible.

But,but.but you DEAR SIR,they'll need you.
I'm sick of all those conspiracies like Sasha is Summer and Nika's sister isn't Nami anymore

i've haven't played that game before.. is there a girl that looks close to Josy?

 

[DarkOs31]

i wouldn't want to cause a melt down in 3 places i have to pace myself

Man i'm sooooo dissapointed,i hinted it so much but you never asked "who's the girl from your sig"

Ironically, I think it was Patrick's problem that allowed them to unite against it. And they looked much closer together when this problem existed. Now I see the void.

 

[Blue Milk]

You are making up shit, how i'm i the one gaslighting your saying i don't understand. It is a branch that has both Josy and Maya in it to think that means your promise a ending with both is the height of entitlement

It's not entitlement it's logic because as I've said before, each of the other MGs will get an ending with them on their paths because that's what they are for, and the Josy & Maya branch is a branch for both because the MC got into this relationship to be with both just like he got into those other MG relationship to be with them. If solo endings come from that it will just be a variation but not the default.

Adding to that logic is the other thing I've said before which is that in AL, there was no Megan & Melissa path, it was a fakeout that literally died before it even began. The only main paths were Megan, Melissa, or Rena and they each got their endings. So DPC following that logic means there's endings for Sage, Jill, Bella, and Josy & Maya together because those are the main branches.

now that the problem of Patrick is gone what do they do, kind of like the couple that breaks up after the kids leave the house

It's a good game. Kinda has a similar dynamic going on with the throuple. The girls have way different personalities than maya & Josy. Don't know how Athena relates to Josy though? You should check it out its a good ride. Good thing is that it is complete so you get to read the whole thing. I hope they get what they want from M&J ending but I am with you on it being unlikely.

Patrick certainly was a unifying force in terms of finding a way out of the predicament, and yes, there is a little bit of uncertainty in terms of "what now?", but that's what they're going to figure out. They're no longer who they were before it, coasting along and just content to be with each other because they were with each other. Now they have a real opportunity to develop this into a more mature relationship having gone through all that and gained that experience and there's no reason why they can't.

Dont get me started how great this game is,i'll talk your ear off for weeks
The best girls are Nami (his "in former releases his bloodrelated sister but nowadays not anymore") a red head,BUT MY personal best girl is Bella,if you know anime/manga you would call her a tsundere!
She is a feisty beast,always top notch,talks back and even try to outsmart you.BUT she's also vulnerable,sweet and kind IF you try to understand her.
You see it,right?I'm fanboying her cuz she's what i would call "my Dreamgirl" in real life...

Doesn't look like "They lived happily ever after."It's not end of the game and their arc still need more story, but that's kinda lame from DPC with writing that Josy just feel off.

 

[DarkOs31]

ok who the girl from your sig

Alice,a CUTE vampire from the manhwa "Solo max level newbie",she's a pure blood,the most powerfull vampire ever existed but got betrayed from her own fam/clan and was imprisoned in a dungeon,MC freed her via a pact.
BUT step by step she's falling hard for him,is confused about her own feelings,so she keps up with beeing a tsundere and MC is clueless like in most manhwas

But your logic is turning Josy and Maya into one LI they aren't one they two sharing a branch, is there a place for them to get a ending together maybe. Who is to say the throuple isn't another fakeout and you only get solo endings with the girls. The throule only been here since ep9 so it very well could only been a season 3 thing, season one your doing things with Josy and Maya but they don't know about the other girl, season two you agree to see where things go but most of the time your with just one of them. So your logic isn't actually adding up with what is happening in game. MC said he onboard with where every it goes that does mean even if it without one of them. a ending with both is no where close to a promise

ohh that who she is .. so she bites

 

[NewGuy2022]

Wait, MC found out what happened to Rio? I tought he still thinks she's sick? I might be misremembering though

It depends upon which track you're on. Some tracks you find out the truth; most of them you don't.

 

[Darkwen]

while i like Josy story i will admit it wouldn't had hurt to started things with blog sooner, that said still happy. 12 will be big ep

 

[NewGuy2022]

I'm not sugarcoating it cuz i DON'T know how their relationship is after 0.9 ,cuz i stopped after this update.
What i'm questioning is would they have this bad relationship IF MC never got involved with them in a romantic/flirty way?

Yes. As I believe an earlier commenter mentioned; their relationship was in trouble during the summer and this was *before* either of them started seeing MC (other than Josy working with him at the store). He met them both *while* they were having a break.

 

[DarkOs31]

ohh that who she is .. so she bites

nope cuz the MC is to powerfull.
It's every guys power fantasy.
You/MC promise Alice to take revenge ,BUT after a while the purpose of revenge is falling back,and she's confused why she has feelings for her "contractor" ...
She's just so cute

 

[DarkOs31]

Yes. As I believe an earlier commenter mentioned; their relationship was in trouble during the summer and this was *before* either of them started seeing MC (other than Josy working with him at the store). He met them both *while* they were having a break.

Yeah josy and MC are almost dating,he's even visiting her in her parents bedroom...
BUT what IF they never got this far?
Would josies and maya's relationship would be this bad if they never met the mc?
smeone said yes it would,so i just accept it and wait for my beloved Rio,which will be a rollercoaster i heard...

It's one path with 2 MGs, and they're MGs because this is a main branch relationship to be with both. Pretty simple explanation. That doesn't make them "1 LI", they're still 2, you can just get both on the same path. If there's zero chance of an ending with them then this wouldn't be considered a main branch just like how Megan & Melissa was not a main branch because it was non-existent. If DPC was going to make the path to them end in solos then he would have just made solos instead of having a main branch where the main reason you even do it is the promise of a relationship with both girls. By contrast, AL never promised a relationship with both girls it promised a relationshp with one and the choice for both was a surprise that ultimately went nowhere.

Yes, Season 2 is about beginning to explore this new relationship dynamic, but the MC always making those choices could be seen as him messing things up because this isn't how it's supposed to be done, he's supposed to make sure he gives both of them his time and attention, and it could be part of the learning curve that he's also confronted with his mistakes and can endeavor to do better. None of them are experienced at this sort of this thing and how to handle a throuple relationship, and this could be the point, that they have to grow and mature in order to make it work, that's why if you make the right choices it will and that's the promise of the path, that in doing so you get both as was the goal in the first place. In this, DPC would be treating this sort of relationship far more seriously overall by depicting the complexities and hurdles involved in it but showing they can be overcome.
