VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [Dr PinkCake]

[KaiserST]

There is a possibility the third system could improve things. I’ll happily be wrong.

52 days takes us to the week between 17th and 24th November, Which would probably mean 1st December release.

While the 70-80% improvement might be great. It hasn’t translated into a noticeable increase in animation production this cycle and that’s because DPC in all his ‘wisdumb‘ decided to double his animation work load with the 60 fps increase.

We can see that 2 systems on the 4090s were making around 6.5 a week. So presuming the third system was working on statics and has now been upgraded, it could add 3.25. So 9.75 a week. That still takes you to November 10th plus beta testing. 17th November is about as optimistic as I can be, but I’d happily be wrong.

The main frustration is one way or another it’s going to of taken 11-12 months. Which is 6-10 weeks longer than the last episode. Which was already a big increase on the one before that. The 4090 system upgrades should have been about bringing production back into a sensible time frame, rather than an animation upgrade that 95% of the audience won’t even notice.



We presume.

It really is frustrating seeing the updates taking this long.

Sure there are bigger than ever, but in this update cycle there were no abnormal events like before such as the thing with the band, the copycat selling the game or other things that made DPC unable to develop the game.

I wont count his vacation since the PCs kept working through animations.

About the remaining animations, another factor is that the static renders could have been taking some of his time. Now that there are done, we should see his PC focusing all their attention on the remaming animations. (I hope)

Furthemore, DPC had said that not all animations are 60fps (at least for now...). He didnt specify any number, but informed that roughly half of the animations would be 60fps.

If we assume 45% of the animations are 60fps the total number of frames to render would drop from our estimate of around 16K to aroudn 11K frames.

Of course, those number rely on a optimistic average duration of 4s. If the real average duration is just slightly longer at 5s, that would increase the number of frames by 25%. However, I dont expect that to be the case since lewd animations are mostly very short.

Hopefully next report wil give us data on how many animations were rendered in a week.

In another subject, I seen comments here saying DPC only has 3 PCs? If that's true that would be quite dissapointing, he makes way too much money and could easily build another for a considerable boost in his render farm

About DPC's age, we cant know for sure, but I bet it's less than 40, so we have no reasons to worry.

I guess he wants to announce that because of the size, beta testing will increase in time( up to 3 weeks). Because of the huge number of variables I don't think his testers will be able to do it in two weeks, the time frame should increase.

I find that hard to happen. The only good part of DPC waiting around for the backlog of animations to render is that he can already test a lot of things in the meantime.

Sure, some bugs can and will happen, but it wont affect the testing duration.

My school never had a gender studies class
I wonder if I would have passed it?
If a girl Like Maya was in the same class, I probably would have been too distracted to get any work done.

She ticks all the boxes for what I think makes a girl awesome

Dude. If you had a mentally unstable chihuahua, they'd make a cartoon about the two of you called Ren & Simpy. And so this doesn't get tagged as offtopic at the risk of accusations of hypocrisy, SAGE! Thanksgiving is looming and this turkey needs SAGE!

They use the Secret Code but don't delete the video knowing that no one should've know about?! Dumb asf. I didn't choose to tell, so I don't know if the video is in the MC folder, but, even there, just three has access anytime to the laptop and technically only the MC and Derek(maybe Rusty) can see.

Sorry for bothering you again but the game has been crashing after episode 7 ending and I can't start episode 8. Thanks again for your time hope you have a good day!

Sorry it took so long for me to get to this, I found the issue and resolved it. I've updated the link for my Android port here with a fix: https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-v0-9-1-dr-pinkcake.25332/post-11543919

Fellow DIKs,
I'm sure this question was asked a million times, but what are the requirements to get Jill as an option in episode 8?
During my first blind playthrough she was an option, but I chose Isabella.
Long story short, I lost the saves and now I can't get her...
Thanks!

1.you need CHICK or NEUTRAL affinity for Jill.
2.you need to go to her birthday picnic
3.you need to fight for he in ep.7
4.get the lewd scene.

I thought I was the only one that started gravitating more towards the Others characters. When did this thread start getting chill?

I was never into any of the main-stream chicks. They never floated my boat.

Think I got saves for all the girls plus the others route.

Think my first play-through I went the Bella route, but not knowing anything, I was doing all the girls until the time you had to choose and the look on Jill's face when she sees the MC through the window kissing Bella killed me, I felt so bad, that every other route after that I decided to just stick to the choice I wanted to carry on with and not take any other relationships too far, just felt too heart wrenching having to break up certain relationships.

My first play through, 3 years ago, people were drooling over Josy. I thought she was annoying af. But then, I saw... an angel(Rio) and a demon(Quinn) coming out of the bathroom in the dorms. I was hooked on Rio ever since.

If you tell Derek you fucked Jade are there consequences?

Everything has consequences. But: Fuck Burke. Butt fuck Burke? Doesn't matter. Fuck him.

 

[TomUK]

The only consequence that I see in the future is because Burke somehow got hold of the video of MC fucking Jade, so that leads me to think he has access to Rusty's Laptop remotely.

So does that mean if you don't share Jade's video Burke gets to see Derek's video with the teacher?

 

[NebulousShooter]

is dalli banned, or just concocting the father of all theories ?

There is the fact that the MCs phone was a used phone and we don't know where Rusty got the phones from, they might have spyware on them and they did have all the HOTs numbers already saved in it.

You guys wanna bet he will start the post tomorrow talking about how the 60 fps shit was overwhelmly positively received?

Survey results.

Well, there's your problem.

Self fellatio is his modus operandi in most of his status updates, but it feels lately he really treats his playerbase like drooling mor0ns.
As recently blocked Lostanddamned would say, DPC is a mark for himself!

Guys I have a story to tell you.

I met DPC at a restaurant once - we’d accidentally been given his table. Apparently he was fond of the restaurant and had a specific table he liked, and the management had messed up and gotten their days wrong, (it was Tuesday and they thought he was coming on Thursday or something like that). Anyway, the manager, completely embarrassed (this is a pretty nice restaurant) comes by and says “I’m so sorry, but we’d like to move you to another table if you could be troubled, and we’ll gladly compensate you for the cost of the meal and any other meal you’d like while you’re in town.” My cousins were both like “Yeah that’s cool.” and I kind of played the asshole a bit. “I’m sorry, I just don’t understand. We’ve been here for 15 minutes - we’ve just ordered. Can’t we finish our meal here?” Then out of nowhere DPC shows up next to the manager and says “Paul, these guys can finish. We’ll be at the bar. I got some time, the animations are still in queue rendering anyway.” (I recognized him because he had a DIK jacket on and his wife constantly talked about feminism to him). And I (being a big Being a DIK fan) said “Oh wow, uh… I had no idea. Please feel free to give them the table.” DPC was grateful, shook my hand and said thanks, then gave me a card with his Patreon page and phone number on it and told me to give him a call later. After working up the nerve, I gave him a call that night, and to make a long story short, we had a glorious 11 month love affair, man on man, that I shall never forget. Our bodies intertwined as one, and from the beauty of Morocco, to the French Riviera, to the snorkeling in the Galopagos, DPC and I made glorious gay love to each other on six of the seven continents.

You get the new phone a lot later than when the video gets leaked. It's not the MC's phone what's compromised, it must be the laptop.

Umm No. That phone came after. The video was on Tremolo's original phone. I think. I might be wrong here. But the video was uploaded to Rusty's laptop, which is what was compromised.

 

[Manoman13]

The wait for the release of episode 10 is killing me, we are at 1 update per year, I hope that with all the improved PCs, it will be able to release updates as well provided but a little more quickly.

 

[Joshy92]

I have been wondering for a while when are our affinity choices going to negatively affect our chosen path

For example, I have seen some people say the throuple will only survive if you play neutral
But I play as a massive chick
When is that going to come back and bite me in the arse?
