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

[gamingdevil800]

well, idk im leaning much more towards 1 update per calendar year will be the norm now. i wont mind being wrong, but i dont see him being able to get around the production bottleneck as he makes every episode bigger than the last and will never hire a team.

im pretty sure this is the future, fellas

Writing was on the wall when he decided to split the game into different paths at the end of episode 8

Whoa, hold on now, buddy. I respect you, but annual updates are not "the norm". This is a massive deviation from his previous production cycle on this game. An outlier. If it becomes "the norm" for BaDIK I can't help but anticipate significant drop-off in his support base.

If Episode 9 comes out in November... Episode 10 wont be out till June or July 2023 then Episode 11 February 2024.
This is all assuming he takes 7 months per episode it could get worse like 8 or 9 months.
"Don't worry guys DPC doesn't need a team"

I'm heartbroken! I've been playing for Bella this whole time on my first play through and I get to the post tennis scene and she breaks it off with me because she found Cathy's panties! Omg! That was so long ago story wise. I don't have the heart to reload from that long ago to try to get back on her path. Ugh. This sucks! Is it really over with her?

this was me last year
YE, YE, WE'RE GONNA GET EP 8 WITH THE HALLOWEEN PARTY BY NOVEMBER AND THEN EP 9 IN SPRING
abandon all hope, 9 months per release will be a really optimistic expectation

Honestly that would be a dream scenario, but I really don't see DPC making that investiment since he already has some 3090s.

I wouldn't be so sure. With the kind of income he's got flowing in, he could easily triple up without suffering when you look at his monthly profits. If preliminary reports about them are accurate, the raw rendering power should be at least 2x what he has now (per card), possibly in the 3-4x range. That's absolutely worth it as an investment, and he could still rake in good bucks selling off his older cards to the second-hand market. Based on what they claim it needs for power, he shouldn't have to replace any power supplies or anything else, just swap, update drivers, and go. if he's truly intent on making longer/more complex animations he'd be an absolute fool to not upgrade them if he doesn't want to totally fuck his production schedule.

dude, you let her friend and coworker take off her panties and suck you off in her car. did you really foresee no consequences?

I still can't imagine a scenario where a woman would put in that much effort to take off her panties, blow the guy, and NOT have sex. Granted, I'm not a woman, but how the fuck do you forget your underwear like that? That's one of those little scene details I have to call 'bad writing'.

 

[Mr. Muscles]

Does Bella get super mad at the MC if she finds Cathy's panties even when not on the former's path?

My assumption has always been that DPC meant the scene to be full sex in the car however he couldn't get the renders/animation to look good so changed it to the BJ instead. He couldn't think of another way to get Bella to know about the assignation without the panties in the car though so never changed it.

this game was most awesome,great story,great render,nice character build,and most of everyone like it,but.........it really not worth waiting 7month per episode for 2hours play..sorry just be honestly assumption.

What's that game in your second sig called, I can't read it

Seems to be Leap Of Faith !!!

Serious question:
How would hiring a team speed things up for DPC? I don't mean that sarcastically. I'm asking what parts do you think DPC could delegate to others to speed things up? *This question, this question right here.*
Edit:
And by "speed things up", I mean strictly speeding up the production time. Not talking about improving quality. Since ... why the hell would you be talking about quality when the main argument here is how a team would make the development time shorter vs DPC alone. Yea, quality could be improved with a team but for the sake of the *question*, it should be complementary to a faster dev cycle.

It actually has to do with driving Cathy home and fooling around with her in Episode 5.
Save right at the end of the tennis match or when you enter Bella's car. Upload your save to save editor.
Scroll down. You only have to change 1 parameter: ep5_cathy_lewd 1/0 (1)
Change green number in parenthesis from 1 to 0 (true to false).
Download modified save and you are ready to go. It literately takes a minute to do it.

Thanks. This will save me much time. Back to Bella banging I go!

Ok, so I just got to Episode 4, and I have to say...our MC is an absolute d-bag! And a whiny one at that. If I could reach through the screen and smack him, I'd have done so multiple times already. The nerve of this wanker to get to so butthurt over
