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

[Cabin Fever]

Yeah, I like to bitch about it whenever occasion comes. And this argument is the dumbest thing you can say, if that's the case then oh boy, how stupid these all software companies are employing so many people... Even here we got many devs working on games in teams, we should tell them that it would be more efficient to just work alone lol.

How about you actually do some math first? DPC's output quantity is not lower than other devs. The issue here is he lumps all of that into a single release instead of doing multiple releases of smaller chunks.

Seriously, you don't know what project management is about. Project managers in all those s/w company are, when you boil it down, just a hired gun to move things along, and not a true stakeholder. As long as it's decent enough that's all fine and the PM can pass the buck. Being the owner with the entire stake, and a project manager is a whole different ball game.

I'm not saying DPC shouldn't look for ways to have quicker releases (by chopping things up into smaller chunks), but no, having someone else do the art work is not gonna be a good way to do it. There's a reason why most top AVN devs are solo developers.

You mean that you used a software tool to check the frame rate, am I right?

I mean... Do you think that the difference from an animation at 60fps and the same animation as 30fps is noticeable by the human eye?

Uhm, because 60fps animations are made to please the robot crowd?

Hell yes the human eye can tell the difference. Nobody would bother if we couldn't.

 

[Ekzou]

No, because he never use it to shorten the development time, but to keep add more stuff. if he could the final episode would be fully animated like the Playstation Games that are rather an interactive movies than games

Ah ha!
I'm running out of reactions but I found your answer amusing
More seriously, I don't have the perspective to see the development cycle from year to year since I discovered the game only a few months ago but I was thinking more about a release in September or October thanks to its new equipment .
Obviously I'm wrong, but I'm still hopeful!

Quinn apologizing to Tommy doesn't symbolize a redemption arc. She should apologize to Maya so we can consider a redemption arc. Tommy is just a junkie who is no good at anything and who envies the MC in every way.

It's just a start or a hint that it will happen soon. Consider the fact that she didn't apologize to Tommy because of Tommy, but because she genuinely reflected on her mistakes when it comes to the DIKs. She did it after learning that Vinny threatened MC with a gun. At that moment it occured to her that it was her stubborness and unwillingness to apologize earlier that drove Tommy into buying from Vinny, giving Vinny leverage over him and inviting his appearance at the DIK party. It's not about Tommy, but about Quinn learning from her mistakes.

And maybe she will apologize to Maya in the future. Right now it's still a long way, but you can't negate the fact that her personality begun to change.

tl;dr. All that furious typing the wall of text and Quinn is still a side girl, no matter how hard it makes you cry.

It was far from furious. Writing about things like this makes it easy to organize one's own thoughts But if you ever decide that a viewpoint different from yours has a right to exist, I'll appreciate your reply to my arguments.

 

[ffive]

Can't you tell if an animation is 60 fps just by looking at it? WTF?!

There's this common misconception that because it only takes some 24 fps to fool human eye into thinking it's continuous motion, that humans can't perceive difference between 24 and more fps.

Which is obviously false to anyone who saw animation rendered at faster rate...

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Every new episode I go and count how many lewd scenes there will be to unlock. The first I unlocked was Madame's 3rd lewd scene, I knew the first two were also Madame scenes and was so pissed.

I feel you That was easier for me, someone spoiled about her scene. That moment, whrn you just Ctrl lewds and doing quick load after watching.

True but that isn't a job for MC to solve unless we going to play cops. Of course that will be a big part or part of the story but honestly I think it just the start and it gets even worse but I could be wrong

Vinny has already become part of the MCs and DIKs storyline, he is the main antagonist in Season 3, so somehow these stories will be intertwined.

 

[Dark Silence]

False.

I checked all the 13 (of course unlucky) animations that feature Madame in this Episode.

Not a single one of them are 60fps.

You mean that you used a software tool to check the frame rate, am I right?

He's talkin out his ass.

Yes, 60fps vs 30fps can be demonstrably and objectively noticeable. But whether 60fps is preferred, that's a whole different can of worms that I'll stay away from.

Ok newbie, allow me to pour cold water on this hope. DPC has said time and again that whenever he upgrades his equipment and/or get more equipment, it's for doing more, not going faster.

are you sure it's not fluffy?

 

[Dark Silence]

Ah. Yeah. Those are 30fps. Same with most of the scenes.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same. And her name is Fluffy

Anyone who does gaming with a good monitor of 144 refresh or above knows well that you can easily distinguish up to around 150 fps and lower in 30 fps increments.

From 30 to 60, it's literally a double increment, so very noticeable.

But it requires you to have a good monitor with minimal ghosting.

Well, fortunately there are big games that should make me spend a good part of the coming year and “forget” Being a Dik until next year.
I'm especially thinking of Cities Skyline 2 and Baldur's Gate 3, which I haven't had time to do yet. I should be able to wait until next summer, at least.
That said, thank you for destroying the meager hope I had! Ahaha

Come on, I wish everyone a good night/day.

But is he the main antagonist a antagonist for sure

 

[FutureHNDXXX]

Does anybody now how to get this scene, where the MC kisses Josy's forehead?

Lots of people here have PTSD from waiting for DPC expect a December release that way if it comes sooner you get a nice surprise. But as Josy once said we totally going to make it!

What? You are so wrong... You are mixing apples and rocks my dude. You are also mixing other things when you are watching an animated already rendered sequence. It's not the same as playing at "144 fps" where the difference is actually minimal.
