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

[Holy Bacchus]

It's not just a crazy idea, it's one of the central problems of the story. All these fan theories treat Josey as some kind of asset or follower of Maya, just like DPC does, there to do things to solve Maya's endless problems with absolutely no story or path of her own. There's supposed to be five LI's in this story, not four and a plus one.

They're in a relationship. Part of being in a relationship is sharing the load of your partner's problems because they're also your problems since this is someone you care about and you are sharing your life with. So Josy having a supportive role when it comes to Maya is precisely what she should have, the question is whether or not she has the willingness to be able to endure it and this is what their drama will likely deal with.

Just had a question regarding the game. First of all I find it amazing and super interesting. I got it on this site not expecting to love it (no exp with these games) and have completed a few playthroughs to ep 6 for the diff girls as well as collecting all the renders and scenes I was able to. When an update comes out, will I be able to keep all of this, or will I need to get the game on steam/patreon in order to continue my progress easily?

The updates come from Patreon so you'll be able to keep all your progress by getting the update from here for the game you currently have (unless you've installed mods or unpacked the contents, in which case the update file will not work).

If you get the Steam version, however, you will have to play the game from scratch as save files are not compatible between the Patreon and Steam versions.

Josey is the shake to my main dish that is Maya. We'd watch movies all day.
I just pray Chip doesn't see this.
ChipLecsap Is the 'Hey there' reaction like a slap?

if you don't use MOD you can continue from your saves without any problem

Alright thanks, dont think I have any Mods just the base game but I will check to confirm that. Cant wait for more!

 

[Noelle Silva]

in a game that had the kink of corruption, Maya could have ended up in the clutches of Quinn, at the limit Maya and Josy, but only Josy wouldn't have made any sense anyway

but BADIK is not this game, maybe there will be indecent proposals but they will not be accepted

This. Realistically Maya really could have ended up in her clutches. No other LI would even consider this proposal, not even Josy, I don't see her going that far for Maya she must have some integrity. But DPC wouldn't go that far so everyone sighs in relief

 

[akdomino]

In first place for me is Josy, followed by Maya. I am on the path of both. I would prefer the three of them to be on cloud number 7 and have no problems.

But that's not the way the game is, so I deal with it controversially.

Always assume the worst and be positively surprised.

That's one of my concerns. I would like a solo route with Josy so we can shift her away from Maya's drama. But what would even happen in her route? Like you said - she doesn't really have a story of her own, the issues with her father is resolved, now there's no conflict or anything else interesting to learn about her. She truly feels like a plus one.

 

[Casmyr]

I remember reading somebody's suggestion that this causes a split between Maya and Josey. That Josey stays with the HOTs because her being there annoys Tommy and she in general likes having fun.
I don't see Maya staying with the HOTs because as we know in episode 1, her opinion of them is low and if there's no free tuition then yeah.
Which is why I find Becky to be interesting when she says frats are over and co eds are where its at.
But then again its 8.46am my time and I havent had my coffee.

I agree completely. But, i want to add, Maya is the mayor secret in Josy´s life, no body knows about her relationship. However in fact, for accident or any other reason, in Maya´s life, her parents knows, her brother knows, it not open, but barely. I think there are love plus guilty, Josy needs do much more for Maya, to appease that guilt.

the relationship between the Hots and the Diks, like the one between Tommy and Quinn, I think will be interrupted for a while, so if Josy goes to the HOts it will be for other reasons, I think for the need to quickly find a bed that isn't in Maya's room

Maya can stay where she is, at most they will assign another girl as her roommate.

A lot of people have suggested that, including myself, although I'd say it's a "split" in the sense that staying with the HOTs is Josy's easiest option to avoid being discovered by Maya's Dad but it doesn't mean that Josy and Maya have split up.

I don't see Maya staying with the HOTs because as we know in episode 1, her opinion of them is low and if there's no free tuition then yeah.

The Quinn slap certainly seems to make it clear that Maya is officially out of of the HOTs.

Which is why I find Becky to be interesting when she says frats are over and co eds are where its at.

Co-eds certainly do sound like a better idea.

what?

Is Josy supposed to feel guilty because Maya has to hide her and their relationship? it should be the other way around...?

 

[sorco2003]

Because Josy hide their relationship even more.

 

[felicemastronzo]

Because Josy hide their relationship even more.

but what does that have to do with it?

if Josy had made her relationship with Maya official (which they both believed was over for different reasons) with her parents, what would have changed? what would have changed for Maya?

Maya has a problem, and Josy as well as all the rest of the people who hang out with Maya need to take charge of that problem and be understanding.

Now that they have to feel guilty seems exaggerated to me.

I agree with most of that. But you have the third sentence backwards, Maya need's to take charge of her problems and stop dumping them on everyone she hangs out with.

Think about the implications of Josey or MC working for Maya's tuition. What kind of person does it make Maya if she let's her girlfriend degrade herself to bail her out of her personal problems. Especially if Maya isn't doing whatever Josey does to make money. And how can she accept money from the MC? He's sleeping in a room without a window.

I doubt that I will be able to be clear in this thought

Maya has to face her father "alone", MC and Josy can support her but that is a mission that only she can face. but it is not said that facing him is enough to solve the problem, at least not immediately.

if we talk about finding the money, that is a problem that Maya alone simply cannot face, in my opinion not even by working all 3 of them can solve it in time.

we are talking about a real job, not the pink rose that has other complications.

but when i say that those who are close to her must take charge of her problem, i'm not even talking about free tuition itself, i'm talking about her condition as a disowned daughter. and it's clearly a situation that maya has not yet come to terms with, and those who are close to her must either help her in this, or stay away. i don't see a middle ground.

 

[Warscared]

Adinho brought up a very good point!

If Josy spills the beans all over Jill , sorry i mean spills the beans to Jill the MC is fucked as a whore using, stripclub vip member, drug user, Jill path man... you can find quite a few masochist games in here but at least in those other games they are honest!

Also Jill and Bella has been hinted as having had something... Josy and Maya and all their problems... i think Josy is going to hit that ass (Jill) before the MC... i so wanna see that!

Anyway Maya needs to find a job and guess who as a job at the library that makes $2 orange bucks a week maybe even more now that Cathy is quiting and Bella is the best choice for English gen. ed.

i mean its been shown that the MC will take the pink rose job so making 2 jobs for the fraternity seems too much imho so...

from my perspective 2 orange bucks = 200 * 20 weeks = 4.000 so 80% of the 5000 tuiton per semester

its hard to define how much she needs for books but there must be plenty of students like Sarah who take shit classes and therefore are willing to sell the shit classes books for cheap! also living expenses (and lets forget they are girls where new clothes every week is considered a living expense...) as Josy pointed out they can save 80% in food if they cook it themselves!

we do not know if that is the case but cafeteria lady seems to be working her way trough college so why not Maya if the betas and the MC can work as assistant and there is already Brian as head librarian or even Bella work hours get cut in half the other half going over to Brian!

so Maya would be $10 orange bucks short on the tuition and perhaps $1 orange bucks per week for living expenses and maybe 5 orange bucks for books depending on the courses she is taking so she would require an additional 35 orange bucks (3500 dollars)! Not easy but if Josy Derek and the MC chip in her tuition could be covered! actually with the library job she can earn money while she studies and then the MC 50 orange bucks would cover whats left for the tuition's assuming they are payed every semester! All she had to do was to get a summer job for the 12 weeks of vacation they get to cover for the books and living expenses!

Also derek is a great worker when he chooses to so i`m sure he can find a work in no time he as proven himself a chameleon!

The MC and Josy have worked in convenience stores so they have "work experience" which is an advantage!

What i mean is that it can be done if the person most interested in the outcome actually gets a freaking job, maybe even as a Gym receptionist... all those willing to help her are valuable assets the only one who seems frozen and paralyzed is...

Another solution is if she denounces the loan and get a new loan! the loan must be a student loan so when not used to pay tuition it can be denounced and the father must answer for fraud if she provides a statement of honor as she never had access to the money which becomes an affidavit once that is processed she can have her credit score and her good name restored and apply for a new student loan! seriously nobody knows any attorneys?

in real life in my country the problem would be that shit can take years to fix... i used it to my advantage to rack up debt and then declared bankruptcy, my bankruptcy clock runned out before my loan problem was fixed but since they where from before the bankruptcy... up yours stupid bankers!

too much?

On that, I very much agree.

It seems some people continually conflate "help" with "financially support" when it comes Maya, and that's not it at all. The mere suggestion that the MC or Josy will work to earn money just so they can give it to Maya is preposterous and those who think that something like this is even a legitimate theory are even more preposterous. The "help" that Josy and the MC would provide is more on the emotionally supportive side, to be there for her during these difficult times and to help her cope with the stresses and strains of self-sufficiency, exactly how friends and romantic partners do so in real life.

The only possible financial assistance she might get is if the MC were to selflessly offer his 5K to Maya to at least assist her in the short term whilst she and they work out what to do in the long term, but that's the only instance where she may receive such support from the MC and/or Josy.
