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

[Takkatakka]

I also feel that animations in BaD are (moslty) a waste of developing time and I fear that in the next episode we'll see panoramic camera movements of street or dudes walking in slow motion like in the opening of some 90's teen fiction. In an AVN I expect that the limited animations are all in the sex scenes or to convey eroticism, because you can make just a few of them, so you have to made decisions according to priorities. If your priority is emulating the camera movements of Sergio Leone maybe you're a bit off the track.
Any time I woud prefer the rendering time dedicated to laggy and bad animations (compared to the current state of the art in that field) to be used for extra lewd renderings, extra scenes, some funny crap by Derek or even Tybalt being publicly ridiculed.

Good animations during the sex scenes are nice, but yeah...that weird animation that moves around and through the DiK mansion was pretty much a waste.

[...] I always notice something new. Among them is the reason why Vinny threw the books from the MC off the shelf. Because the MC is canonically a motherfucker, even if he didn't fuck Jade. But the MC definitely makes out with Isabella in EP2. [...]

Sorry man, you are so into details and yet you do not notice that those boots do not touch ground? I know DPC does not really care about posing accurately, but that would be an unacceptable compositional error even by his very loose approach. Contrary to what perspective would have it if the boots rested on the floor, the toes of the shoes are lower than the heels. There are at least 10cm from the boots to the floor. That cannot be a posing error, it's just too big. That is an hanging corpse, someone hanged himself on a rope in that room.
That's Bella's dark secret that makes MC say that if at the time he knew, he would have asked for help.
Isabella's husband never left the home, his dead body is hidden there.

...

That would explain why she has a mummy "costume" readily available.

And what do you think about it ? Will it be September ?
View attachment 2772040

It's hard to say, for this we need to know what this guy has in his head. Given the latest data, the most optimistic scenario is mid-September, but we don't know how many animations DPC will decide to make.
What he said in yesterday's status update: he can run through the whole episode, but there is still a lot of work and new scenes.
I'm considering September, but things can change.

I agree

his dead body is hidden there

Hmm... Not a fact...

Damn that makes sense. I mean Bella branch was too convenient, wasn't it? Sage branch had Tybalt and Jade, Maya and Josy branch had Maya's dad and Tommy and Jill branch had her family and friends. In comparison to them Bella has a drama free and convenient route that no one is going to trouble mc. That's not DPC style. I thought in Bella branch mc had to deal with James but Vinny and Zoey? That's really something else.

DPC has spread breadcrumbs throughout the game and the only thing you have to do is follow those breadcrumbs. In EP2, Maya shows the MC some pictures on her phone. In one picture she says the following.

"l have so many fond memories of the wildlife."

Christ, I really wish he hadn't done that stupid Interlude.

Blame his Patrons he released that unnecessary interlude which could've easily been a 5 min flashback then one giant free roam event but his supporters keep simping him
DPC:

DPC hyped the hell out of episode 9. You would have thought a new season of GOT was being released with the amount of hype he was spewing. It ended up being a colossal disappointment. I was sitting there thinking "This is it? This is what I waited over a year for? I took a day off from work for this?"

You took a day off from work just to grab Bianca's ass?

It's all the extra branching he created for himself at the end of episode 8... If he didn't force a choice at the end of season 2 then he probably could've finished Episode 9 in roughly 5 months, it was just a free roam event after all. It will only get worse if he forces more major choices that split the game into different routes

Dear God... Dude, how much time do you spend on these investigations ?!

And yes, it's not necessary (not at all necessary) to constantly mention how Vinny fucked Quinn.

I still think he did that interlude more for himself. After years of working at the same game he probably wanted to do something at least slightly different with different characters in a different setting that doesn't have huge repercussions on the main story.

I don't spend much time on it. I recognized the patterns more than a year ago. Actually, writing and collecting the images takes up most of my time.

The key question is why DPC does it. In one of his Q&A he once wrote so that his biggest fear is so that he could lose his work by burning down his PC. So also his backups. Technology can fail.

But if he himself hides his history in the finished EPs, he can reconstruct it himself if necessary, because Being a DIK has spread on the Internet. The ultimate backup.

Yes, sorry so I had to mention about Quinn and Vinny. There's a little compensation from me for that.

putting both Jill and Sage in the same rank is wild

in parallel universe i have a life of tremolo

 

[Malmo_Bjorn]

putting both Jill and Sage in the same rank is wild

why? they can be equally desirable but different/for different reasons without necessarily one being better than the other. i like pizza and pasta, but i wouldn't really say one is better than the other always. they're both equally favorable to me, but they are different.

 

[Jamez999]

My ranking of the girls is like this :

S: Quinn

Actually yngve has already provided a sneak peak as to what's going on in that room. Sometimes it's better off not knowing things:

Spoiler: Don't look mc, just walk away...

The funniest and most terrible thing at the same time is that the DPC himself most likely never put any sense into these pictures and other "hints". For the most part, a large number of all these "coincidences" and other seemingly important references and discoveries are a banal shortage of assets in DAZ and their reuse here and there without any intent or secret meaning.

I don't spend much time on it. I recognized the patterns more than a year ago. Actually, writing and collecting the images takes up most of my time.

The key question is why DPC does it. In one of his Q&A he once wrote so that his biggest fear is so that he could lose his work by burning down his PC. So also his backups. Technology can fail.

Yes, sorry so I had to mention about Quinn and Vinny. There's a little compensation from me for that.

Let's go.




DPC did and do his best to use different books, etc in different places, but it's just impossible. There are not so much suitable assets, which could be used and never repeat. And I doubt that he would like to create himself some custom ones, just to avoid such repetition.


You can't avoid it. You will find the similar assets and their reuse here and there periodically. It doesn't mean anything. It's a DAZ artists limitations.

Why you investigate and trying to find all that coincidences, "signes" in one paintings and pictures, while igroring the others?
Selective evidence? Do you decide where there is a secret meaning and where there is not?





So what?

While we are here to find coincidences, some "signes" and other shit, I would like to offer to think about the following:

Spoiler: 1. Who is this women?

This scene and flashback itself suspective as shit. First time, when I read the theory that Bella here talk with herself, being alone, I laughed a lot. But later... It really seems like she is alone here and talk to herself. She NEVER touch James. Even when it doesn't have any sense to NOT touch him. The librarian reaction (Bella's boss) is more like her surprise and wish to Bella to go to rest and recover, rather than a reaction to an innocent kiss. When James and Bella walking on the street near the road, they doesn't hold their hands. They walk exactly in the same place, where Bella panicked and run off at the end of first date with MC. Is she reacted so much to such innocent case in her past with James or it was something more significant?

Spoiler: 3. Look at Bella's hairstyle and outfit during both flashbacks.

I forgot about this scene. So one more here. Again only 1 frame, as before with Maya lewd scene in classes and with Bella (again) during blowjob in MCs room.
