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

[felicemastronzo]

You're presuming that freeing Maya from Patrick's ultimatum would wrap up Maya's family story. The way Maya broke down at the sight of Josy's reconciliation with Pete in Episode 5 suggests otherwise. Maya must be free to live her own life , but that's just the first step. Her family is still important to her and that won't be as easily solved.

That's my guess, anyway. BaDIK is clearly committed to long-term story development. It sucks when we have to wait 7 months between updates and there's no guarantee it will eventually stick the landing. But to paraphrase Maya, it would be pretty fucking awesome if it does work out.

I wasn't assuming anything, I was talking about how Maya's problem is dealt with, a reconciliation with her father is not even mentioned.

Their problem is the loan, not Patrick, the distance with him is constantly increasing.
even Sage's intervention, if it's going to lead to anything, it will be about the loan.

then i still believe that the only way out for Maya is for Patrick to understand her, but what the characters do doesn't go in that direction

Ah yes, the Princess is even more mad. Apparently had a problem with her eyesight too, can't properly spell names too. Well, at least she can spam facepalms to every comment including Jill.

 

[Zirael Q]

And your post totally isn't toxic at all, huh? There's more insults than anything else in your pathetic hate post, yet you call others toxic? Having a meltdown over something so meaningless is what I'd expect from a 15 year old boy driven by his hormones, not from a grown man.

Everyone has their favourite LI, and seeing people hate on theirs obviously wouldn't make anyone happy, but holy crap...grow up. I personally don't have anything against Jill or any of the other LI's currently available in the game. I do have my favourite, but does that make me act like a pubescent Baboon over it? No, because in the end this is just a freaking game. I would understand if it were your actual girlfriend or wife people are talking about, but I'm sure we can all agree that these are just pixels here, yes?

Get your shit together, buddy.

Edit: Well, seems like you've completely reworked your entire post, but oh well. Basically the same with a bunch of quotes inbetween your insults.

Maybe telling him Jill doesn't exist was a bit too much, no idea. He lost it

maya - damsel in distress? let me go fetch my horse and my shining armor!

DPC: "Interrupts the story to make a whole monologue to explain the audience that Maya's problem is that she keep things for herself instead of asking help..."


BADIK audience responde: "She is such a damsel in distress...."

Like, really guys, how can you misunderstand so bad a stor... you know what.... still better than Maya the rapist.... yeah wathever... she is a damsel in distress.

 

[drpavelcia]

I kind of wish Lily were an LI, I can't stop rewatching her last sex scene

 

[PashafromRussia]

I understand that these are just special renders, but I would like to see group sex with Maya and Quinn! That would be hot!

You forgot a few points:
6 She is incredible at hand holding, hugging, and being a virgin
7 She has an amazing jawline, nearly as masculine as Chad's
8 She is an expert in blueballing and indecision

If you look at the relationship with Jill in the long term, then you can't find a better one then Jill. She running after MC like a dog. I think if there was a scenario in the game when you become a husband of Jill and fuck on the side of other bitches, it would be ideal.

If we look at it from a somewhat realistic angle, marrying into the Royce family would be the logical best path for the MC. Getting him and his dad out of the poverty spiral at the very least and I assume Jill would be a very good wife to him.
Women have done it and still are doing it for as long as wealth is around in human civilization so why not reverse the roles.
It's literally the choice of thinking with your head as opposed to thinking with your dick.
The rest of her family and especially her parents would be a wildcard here though as I can't imagine that Jill bringing home some random low life as a potential husband would go over particularly well in a wealthy family that is concerned about keeping that status.

 

[ChipLecsap]

something like this would be totally fine for me for the next episode.
Maya looks hot as a Sexy dirty Cop. and I knew Josy would slay in a Catsuit. .

I hope DPC thinks the same way, and give Josy something like this for Halloween Party, if we get any at all of course

she's still troubled and you still can do whatever you can to help her. at some point MC even mentions giving her his 5k$. can't completely rule out the damsel-in-distress angle, at least in a sarcastic way as I took shazba's comment I agreed with and proceeded to comment on.

 

[Coinzell]

Love Gingers. I hope the also bring Ashely in the mix; another Ginger.

...Well. Yeah. Love gingers...
Yeah...
But i think i'll pass on Ashley...
You know... since you put the dibs on her...
Yeah. Because of that.
She's all yours.
Just leave Sage to me and we alright.

That's not bad, though with the color of the eyes I'm assuming the intent was to resemble Kate Beckinsale from the Underworld series, which certainly wouldn't be a deal breaker in almost any context. Not sure who Maya's supposed to look like, though.

As much as i enjoy this game the period between updates is becoming ridiculous at this point, i think he should find a way to do this between 3-4 months...

Why would he ? It's not like he's getting paid for content delivered. In fact the more he prolongs it, the more cash he's likely to get total.
Having a huge hit of a game like this doesn't happen every day and DPC knows it. Especially judging by the unnecessary padding in a game which has a huge cast and scope already.
