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

[funkymonkeyjedi]

How about a 5 minute detailed animation with Madame Rose?

Oh GAWD no!
She's got worse looking skin than Maya has...

 

[TangerineTango]

whatever the release date is, one thing is certain. This update will be out first unlike the fabled update for summer time saga XD

 

[bratkoratko]

whatever the release date is, one thing is certain. This update will be out first versus whenever the fabled update for summer time saga comes XD

The fact those two were basically started at the same time is crazy lol, years later ocean still didn't even finish season 1 while dr cake gonna be 50% at season 3 in few months

 

[buggs]

I think you guys are being too pessimist, the new hardware is doing wonders on the renders/animations rendering as the last update has shown.

For me the update is coming late july at best and mid august at worst.

Pessimism never fails lol. DPC has had hardware upgrades before, but he has never shortened development time by more than a week. Literally. No exaggeration. His largest shortening was 6 days between episode 4 and 5. If the update were to come out in July that would be 2 whole months shorter. Can't really blame anyone for not expecting unprecedented advancements. August is the optimistic position.

Also, did the last update show the new hardware doing wonders on animation rendering? Last week the animation queue was 16 animations, this week it is 13...

It's been 5 months and 10 days in development and DPC has already done 3657 renders, that's 73% of the Ep.9 size, so that's too pessimistic. I see August as the most realistic scenario.

That is only 3657 posed. At this point in Episode 9 dev in had 2823 rendered. So he is probably ahead by several hundred or 2-3 weeks.

He should have crossed 200 animations rendered now, but that is a bit speculative. That probably puts him about a month ahead in terms of animations for episode 9.

That all said I do tend to agree there is a good chance of it coming out in August. Artwork should come along more quickly in the second half of the dev period due to the new cards. Hopefully that can reduce the time by another few weeks. To get a release in August he needs to be 6 weeks quicker than episode 8. Which I think should be possible. Especially since the last episode had several development interuptions.

This week marks the same point in development that episode 7 released, and next week will match episode 6. To be the same timeframe as episode 8 we'd get a release on July 14th. If it's the same as episode 9 it would be October 6th. Without completed render numbers it's hard to made a forecast. I think August is more likely than October, but September is more likely that July.

July is generally extremely unlikely, I bet on new hardware in rendering speed, I think that it will not have a queue of static renders at all. Perhaps the queue of animations will also catch up with the speed of posing.

Also, did the last update show the new hardware doing wonders on animation rendering? Last week the animation queue was 16 animations, this week it is 13...

That count means the machines are rendering much faster, usually, he'd have upwards of 2 dozen (24+) in the queue. The fact that the number is smaller means the machines are rendering faster than he's creating them, which means far less of a wait time for animations unlike episodes 8 and 9. He doesn't have to worry about waiting to put the animations in the game anymore.

I think late July is a truly optimistic release date, with mid-September being the latest realistic release date. Any longer and DPC himself will become annoyed with how long he's taking to put it out.

Oh GAWD no!

I haven't met her in any of my plathroughs. And I stopped playing the game entirely weeks ago. I'm thinking that when I start new games to refresh my memory the weeks before the release of episode 10, I'm gonna take advantage of the hype and my appetite for the game and I'm gonna meet the madame at last. It can't be that bad... Right?

No, it's not bad. In fact, she's actually a really hot milf, in my opinion. I think she's just a unexpected insert into this game, as she is a character we see or hear about in no other context and you have to shell out even more money to do anything with

Honestly, I don't know why everyone hates the madame. I dislike her simply because she's a character that seems unnecessary to interact with when we already have such a wide assortment of established characters, but I don't have the passionate hate that most of this thread has for her. I would prefer her scenes go to girls like Rose or Brandi though.

Depends on your tastes in women, but 95% of audience hate her.
Personally, I find her ugly because of her looks, plus from a story standpoint she's useless and her scenes took weeks to render.
It would be better if DPC did more scenes with SGs than this. This is my few criticisms of the game's structure.

I'm forced to agree.
She doesn't realy serve a meaningful purpose other than unlocking extra renders. Unless down the road DPC uses her as some form of 'informant' on other club visitors. But I doubt it'll go that direction.

Ocean is the dev of summer gone
For some reason the game stuck at 4.5 or 3.5 for a very long time although the story is good he's wasting time with the other game and that rendering thing

Not gonna lie but the game is alittle bit overrated but obviously better than half of the game here lmfao. Also, off -topic

I know, and that's exactly what I meant. he progressed to a point where readers absolutely want more story, but instead he went back to the drawing board to redo earlier chapters' renders. Specially when it wasn't even necessary as far as the story content was concerned. It's a shame because SG has an amazing story to it initially, but it's not moving forward while he's more preoccupied with redoing earlier scenes no one had issues with.

It's his story to tell and his creation to do what he wishes with. But if he's playing with details no one cared for, by the time he's done there will be other great novels to get busy on when that happens. Ocean got stuck on perfecting shit no one cared about, over the pragmatism of just following through with his story.

This is why Creators like DPC will most often be more popular because he's more efficient and pragmatic.

And I'm not trying to take a dump on Ocean, I'm just pointing out why he lost my interest.

I'm praying this update comes this year, cuz it doesnt look like it yet.

It will, but will be the only release in this year

It's funny, really. I think she is the hottest out of all the women available to the MC. Big breasts. Beautiful eyes and sugary words. I just can't see why people dislike her. She is, essentially, an approachable version of Bella aha. But, hey, to each their own!

TBH I was starting to think I was the only one that noticed how Maya's skin is like.... off... I think its supposed to be like that. The first scene I thought she just had razor bumps but then I noticed in the throuple threesome scene her whole body has a skin issue of some sort. Seeing her displayed right next to Josy made it so noticable.

I know her skin is almost like it's textured with a lunar surface-like texture and a **deadite skin tone.
