It's pretty much down to them still being in the story so no matter what you do you can't get away from them only opting out of a relationship with them is possible. But I guess there could be options in the future on the friendship route of how much we help them.
Of course he can charge whatever he wants, i didn't say otherwise. However, fact is a fact right?
I kind mean the MC being more "rude" towards them than actual being friends. I think in a role-playing view fits much better the story if the MC gets rejected than back being just friends.
Of course, seems quite expensive. Although, in a way I get why... its more work to be done for DPC, setting his schedule behind. Its an "acceptable" amount for the people crazy enough to buy it and an "acceptable" amount for DPC to waste time on it.
I guess it will be possible on the Dik route makes sense that would be the case I wonder if the ruder we get the less they will want to do with the MC, I'm really not sure how it will play out.

To be fair, considering it's on Patreon it's an investment and not really a purchase. And if this is his full-time job I understand why he asks those kinds of rates.
You're really underestimating the amount of work that goes into these. Think: if you have a novel with 2 choices, you have 2 divergent paths. if each of those routes that have a set of choices, now you have 4 variables to track. this is exponential growth for every "free choice". The only way to reign that in is by setting up some fixed events, or else you're looking at massive work. if it was all truly free choice and giving everyone the set events for any variable, even a short game would take years to make, and this one is a large project. I'm not saying you can't be unhappy or bored, but I want you to realize just how much has to go into each choice that pops up, its one thing to manipulate events a bit and alter dialogue, but what you're asking is really, really difficult.
It's been his full-time job since the end of last year so he has to make his money. And of course, it's up to his Patrons as well how they are spending that money even if it is a lot.
I dunno, but on my chick path, I locked out sage, like permanently, I didn't even have her as an option to...do the thing that happens when you choose
my point is, it is possible to close off some routes forever, that may be something that happens with josie and maya over time. It probably involves the main character having to live in the DIK mansion, and then many routes that have been open can probably close permanently and likewise, some people that go zero to no real screen time, may get a chance to have routes made for them. Having a room and not tied exclusively to interaction with a character you're depending on will change a lot of things. Plus we're already getting hints at alternative classes in the futureTo be with Josy, Maya needs:
ai... At the risk of sounding super crass, but they say you are what you eat, in my game, I'm a massive chick and I'm drowning between maya and josie, so yeah! sometimes you get rewarded for being in tune with your friends and not being a dik.
Next month for the latest update. Don't know what date exactly.
Well I intend to find out. I've recently gone back and started a new alternate route (not finished yet) which, while having decent RP, pushes Maya away at key points (e.g. not forgiving the tase, not offering to help with the HoT tasks etc.) I name saves on that path "go n git"
If you have a story with too many choices, the content you need to move the story quickly diverges. You won't get anywhere in the end. A few such “generous” approaches to games can be found and they are mostly abandoned projects.
Can honestly see those questions keep popping up even when the game would have the Completed tag smashed in front of it.
