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

[-Hex-]

This would honestly put a much more interesting spin on things than if the husband were the usual inattentive, loveless type we see all the time because it would cast doubt on the LI and could make things very interesting if James were to come back and Bella is torn between patching things up with him or pursuing something that could damage her marriage completely.

might be me, but i personally think that when a marriage is at a point where one or both of them has to go away because they can't deal with the other party anymore there is not much left to save
and the distance only adds to the problems, since it's not hard to meet someone else and fall for them (as we can see happening with Bella and Mc), especially if the initial spark is dwindling

Probably, but there's always the chance of reconciliation if one or both parties have grown during their separation and they feel that there is a spark that can be rekindled. This is what could make Bella's story so interesting because it would be a much greater internal struggle for her than if the husband were a typical asshole as she would be fighting between re-starting what may have once been a happy marriage and could be again, or risking it all for a guy who's probably about half her age and who a close friend also has feelings for.

If Bella's husband is a good guy? Why do we care? Unless we're forced to, like how your forced to get upset when you find out about M&J, but seriously is that going to stop us Bella fans from going after her? Not this one.

 

[Isaneclownposey]

Bella's husband is dead.

 

[phill_leotardo]

Bella's husband is dead.

My theory is that Bella's husband is waiting milfy's city update, thats why she cries when she thinks about him

 

[SPACE_BOOOOOST]

In that case we don't have to worry about him ever returning at least.

why do you think the room is closed and lights are out?

 

[SPACE_BOOOOOST]

As long as he stays in there and faps in silence it's cool with me.

Regarding Bella's mysterious hubby who may or may not return? He is an asshole.

He has to be. Because if he is not. If he is a sort of victim well that would put us Bella pursuers in an impossible position, or i should say in a position that is pure guilt tripping. Imagine if Tybalt would be an absolutely blast of a cool kid. A nice, smooth, funny, loving caring individual who really would want the best for Jill and all. How would that feel. It would suck.

One way or the other, the competition has to be easily dislikable. Otherwise its a very uncomfortable, awkard situation. Not something you necessarily want your players to endure extensively. It kills the fun. Japanese level of drama about absolute hopelesness with an unavoidable bad ending. It would suck.

So in my mind, Bella's side of competition whom we believe to be her mysterious James.. simply must be someone who we can easily condemn and with good reasons. He cannot be a hero. If he is.. he has to die or be dead already.

Not really, they could easily make him a soldier who's just MIA, with the assumption to be KIA and i get the feeling that's the route the dev is planning for Bella's husband, especially since we've seen the military boots in the locked room. I expect these forums to explode once he returns and Bella starts neglecting the MC.

..and how do you think that would end, hmm?

Once Bella gets to use MC's third leg she'll forget all about her husband.

 

[Malicre]

Bella is going to have AL levels of drama but at this point i'm pretty sure most Bella fans already know that and are preparing for some sort of heartbreak to happen sooner rather then later.

Stuck in version 5.0.2 at "I wanna check out the Cluck that Jill posted." I go look at the post and I am still stuck with the same statement repeating. Is some variable supposed to flip to let me get beyond that point?

Nevermind. I had to click on the Cluck then post a response. Once I did that I could get past that screen

 

[Dr9i5]

to all the experts out there, when we can expect the next update roughly ?

Probably mid-late October

I take it for granted that it happens. and if it happens towards the end of the game I also doubt that it's a solvable problem.
I don't see a happy ending with Bella without forcing the plot

and if that were the case it would be the same, if not worse, than letting her die in a fire

normally yes, it is

but already in BADIK, whoever is interested in Josy or Maya, individually, must compete with a "good person", who somehow will have to throw out of a relationship, for now, happy.

for DPC the more drama the better.

Lol, so true. Dev even posted a warning before playing the game that there might be some sad things going to happen. Knowing his desire to crush his fans' heart in AL, I am scare what will happen at the end of DIK.
