Jill has progression, just not physical progression.

Emotionally he's further along on her path than the other girls.

He likes Maya but he's falling for Jill.

To me, accelerated physical progression would cheapen Jill’s character.

I think Jill’s progression rate is pretty on-track if I’m being honest. Yeah it’s a ‘porn game’, but DPC wanted to ‘break the mold’ and he seems to be doing that with Jill.

That's why i've never once played the game worrying about routes or paths, i play how i would if it was me in real life just like i experienced in college 10 years ago and yea sure i may want my mc to end up with a specific girl but i think thats everybody at this point.

And yea i punched Tybalt too just like i would of if a dude like that existed when i was at college. :ROFLMAO:

That’s definitely the way this is meant to be played. No walkthroughs or cheat sheets - just choices and the results of them. That’s probably why I get a bit irritated when things like the “go see Bella” choices come up - I have to compromise on ‘what I would do’ for the story...

replays are fun as well, but the first run is always TTL for me...

in short, apart from the sixth chapter all this progression is not seen

in the sixth a sudden acceleration

Yes, that's quite true. When MC said that I was all hold up a second, that's not how I feel. And then further on at the bar giving up on those 3 lovely ladies, I was like nope, right click delete all the saves leading up to the Jill/Sage choice, chose Sage and never looked back.

I don't know if I can get back on the Jill train at a later point or not yet but up to chapter 6 that trade off is too big.

" Access to new updates (Season 2) "
And apparently there is a season 1 of Being a DIK

Not really hating on the drama. Just feel that much drama needs a proper disclosure...

AL is a game I played once, and I’m perfectly content never picking it up again. I respect it for what it is, but I don’t see the value in revisiting the story/characters again.

I’m fully aware people feel differently though.




My point there was when the MC is given the option to “go see Bella” after asking Jill out. Personally, I would “go see Bella” every time - to thank her for her vote of confidence in me. The problem is that, while that scene starts as expected, it transforms into the make out session without any option for the MC to stop it.

A simple “it’s moving to fast for me” option would’ve been very welcome here. That way players who want to genuinely thank Bella can do so without fear of it evolving into something else.

The entire scene is skippable, yes. I still feel like an asshole for not even properly thanking Bella though, and that really should have been an option - especially for a CHICK MC.

Remember in this situation we are thanking her for trusting us to ask Jill out...

As for the staying with her, I feel that route isn’t too “romantic” to be prohibitive, but since the library scene is a requirement for that option DPC had different ideas there.

The drunk scene I can forgive - we were drunk...

excuse me which library scene did you mention about? is the make-out scene? also i read your replies and I wanna say I'm a little bit nervous about bella's path. I'm not sure about is mc just a ''lust'' object for bella and does she just want to fill the gap of her husband with us or is there real intimate emotion between these two? what do you think about it?

by the way I'm curious about how will jill affect bella-mc path too.

It's Steam releases.

They get everything in 4 episode bundles, so season 1 is 1-4, season 2 is 5-8 season 3 is 9-12 and so on.

There I have to speak to you again. DPC has basically packed 2 games into one.

The DIK path, and I agree with you, is a porn game.

The Chick Path, not just the Jill Path, is more of an adult game. All the main girls are more about feelings, conscience, loyalty, friendship, etc.

Jill is cool, no question, but other people may feel differently.

That's not fair and i would go further and say some of the best "moments" in the game are on the DIK path. Jade and Sage both have some amazing moments with the MC. Hell my favorite scene in the game is when Jade and the MC are relaxing in the bathtub talking about life.

Just because your character is a DIK doesn't mean you have to be in the bathroom banging the HoTs or having sex with every random girl you see.

so what's that point? does not his patreons share the link? i mean isn there any pay&play situation? is game free for all?
Click to expand...
Not sure what's your point but yeah, that's how piracy works. No in-game benefits for paying players - but ideally you shouldn't play the game at all if you haven't payed for it, so the game is the actual benefit. Then the Steam release is anoter way for him to get some extra bucks and exposure

I LOVE this game. Figured I would try Acting Lessons while I wait for updates. Now I'm shitting my pants that something is gonna happen to Jill.

The only bad thing that's going to happen to Jill is when she asks the MC to sign the prenup
Click to expand...
LOL very funny but seeing how the rich are with the poor, the worst that can happen with Jill is her family, imagine a rich person dating a poor person and these people will do the impossible to destroy the relationship that Jill could have with the MC

A prenuptial agreement would be the least to fear

The library scene I was referring to was immediately following setting up the “date” with Jill. You’re presented with an option to “go see Bella”, and the scene starts.

I agree with your points, but I must not have made myself clear. In that quote I was specifically speaking to Jill’s path, not to be implied that Jill’s path is by any means “THE” path for this game. Quite the contrary in fact.

As I stated previously I can see paths that were actually closed down (IE Sage) starting to open back up going into E7. You can verify this at the chapter summary screens.

Edit: Malicre’s post below really helps sum that up... This is not really a “2-path” game - at least not that black and white if that makes sense... :LOL:

i mean there are many links for game in this thread. and dpc knows it. so i think he probably doesn't care. so i wonder when he released the new season for her patreons, is he gonna drop it on steam at same time? or will these links drop here meanwhile? it's piracy. doesn't he do anything against this? don't his patreons have any privilege about ''reach the game''?
