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

[ProxyGist]

The problem with trouple in my opinion is that the idea is not new right now. There are so many games in the genre where with endings with two girls and that's why the ending of Acting Lessons was so fresh and original. It could be called a deconstruction of the genre. I'm willing to accept the trouple, but MC has to go a long way and do a lot of relationship work for me to believe it. Otherwise if it comes down to the usual balancing of scenes I will be disappointed.
Also despite the Halloween ending I don't believe in any serious drama. This is contradicted by the concept of season 3. The main idea of season 3 is partying. MC becomes a party organizer and constant partying and fun doesn't mix well with any serious drama. I don't deny that there will be drama involving Quinn, Sage, Bella but it's unlikely to last more than one episode.
Either the drama will be fragmented like it was in episode 9. Just otherwise we will see the "NLT problem". In Genesis Order, the rather lewd sex scenes don't mix with the generally complex and convoluted plot. Being A Dik strikes a very successful balance between lewdness, fun, and drama. There is drama, but it lasts for a few scenes and then the fun comes back on. I'm guessing this season will be something similar when MC has to decide who he wants to be with. But all the important stuff will be decided in the season 4 finale.

Right, there's going to be drama and yeah as always it comes down to choices. MC is more willing to tell family about Josy and Maya and there relationship but Maya not so much. Josy doesn't want to hide it the only question is if she will to go all out that said the way EP9 ended what point is there to hide it. Ep 10 will likely be the first test for the throuple or at least up the first test

I loved the throuple ending to episode 9
I hope episode in 10 they make it public

I mean the cat is kind of out the bag they should go ahead and come out with it

 

[Joshy92]

Sorry guys that sentence probably didnt make much sense but im typing on my tablet not my laptop so its harder lol
But anyway i will do whatever it takes to keep the throuple alive
After all its the best one in gaming imo
Plus i refuse to see Maya suffer more

 

[Joshy92]

I mean the cat is kind of out the bag they should go ahead and come out with it

Exactly its time to make it official
Next step is telling the parents

 

[ffive]

I doubt DPC would add pegging to the game, I'm sure most of his patreons wouldnt want it.

Oh, i'd say since most of DPC's patrons love getting pegged by the good doctor, they'd be thrilled to get some in game, too.

 

[SlapE]

Yeah, I hope a lot of the relationships become public/more public in episode 10, the only one it would likely be too soon for is Bella. Though with what happened at the end of Bella's route in episode 9 it will be interesting to see what will end up happening with everything regarding their relationship.

This and the fact that the next generation of cards (RTX 5000) isnt expect to release before

means that DPC wont have any significant path to a upgrade in GPU power for quite a while

You say that like he can't use just a normal 4090's (non TI) to render with in new machines which he stated he would be doing. And if 4090TI aren't available when he builds new rendering rigs, so what if he rolls back to non TI 4090's? Having new boxes to render with whether or not they're equipped with TI's, it'll still increase the production. Specially if he builds more than 1 extra box. Who cares if they'll be 5-10 renders/day slower than the rigs with the TI's...

And I thought I was the cynical one.

Some interesting rumors from NVDIA today. (yes this will be relevant to the thread, more than most recent posts lol)

Apparently the RTX 4090 TI is no longer going to be

So, his only option for the next 2-3 years to increase his render speed will be more PCs.

That or AMD/Intel releasing a better GPU than NVIDIA...

Yeah, that's not happening lol


So, expect updates to take even longer, because I dont see future episodes getting any smaller. Honestly, considering the recent trends, I expect them to increase in size and complexity.

I just hope this game doesnt get abandoned, I'd rather have this be done in the distant future then getting abandoned.




True, while I personally loved ep 9 it was a bit of a chore replaying it for all my routes, specially in a short amount of time.


I dont expect ep 10 to be the same, maybe it will happen again in another big party like spring break, such event could justify the same type of episode.

No matter how many PCs with new hardware he buys, DPC will not be able to jump above his head. Before you can set the scene to render, you need to create it and the most difficult part is posing. Even if his computers are very powerful and the render queue is empty due to this, DPC will spend time preparing renders and animations. In the case of a further increase in new episodes, the development time will increase. It's easier to deal with it.

So far, I don't see any prerequisites for the game to be abandoned. Typical symptoms are writer's block, lack of feedback with subscribers. Seriously, all this guy did was take a two-week vacation once in 5 years.

And ofc AMD cards not suitable for DAZ, because rendering on the Iray engine, this is Nvidia technology. Well, Intel cards ... it's a pity to even joke about them.

Another aspect is that he renders alternate versions of the same scene (e.g. Josy with red sweater, Josy without red sweater because she isn't in relationship with MC, or slight changes to hand position depending on intimacy, etc.) which adds to the number of renders. Parallel paths due to LI relationships and CHICK/DIK affinity also causes more splits in the rendering process.

you have to go see Josy and have sex in ep 7 then she will wear red sweater

Yeah it's been ages since I did the MJ path so the specifics are kind of foggy. Banging Rio all night will do that to you...

That a long time to be with a women that didn't cum but Rio is worth it

Considering how powerful the hardware is I don't see this as a problem. Over many years of development he has learned fast posing( although DAZ has terrible posing tools). I think the main problem is DAZ itself, namely the very slow viewport and overall terrible interface by 2023 standards. It's like playing a 15-20 fps shooter or action RPG. You can work and even enjoy the process, but you're going to suffer . I hate DAZ and I think most DAZ artists, fan artists hate it just as much.

 

[hakuna-matata]

could have the best personality in existence, no way in hell is Quinn, Camilla nor any of the pink rose girls is ever going near him with that micro sausage.

Although I suppose being sheilded from Arieth is a massive up side to that..

I am pretty sure the micro penis would be forgiven. That's why you need to replace MC scrawny ass with Tyballz body, not including the dick. The MC would be the ultimate MC. I was shocked when I saw Tyballz body for the first time. "Did DPC just give the worst character in this game a dumpster truck ass, godly quads and calves!?! Even his upper body is great"

Agreed that posing and other setup is time-consuming, and faster hardware helps with rendering but doesn't get over the fundamental problem where the number of potential changes requires more renders, sometimes exponentially more. To make up an example, you have Josy red sweater vs Josy white top depending on which event happened earlier. There are 10 renders with her dressed each way for a scene (posing is the same, just swapping wardrobe). But then let's say DPC has now has added two different hair styles for her based on some other plot element so now he has 40 renders for the scene, red top with hair style 1, red top with hair style 2, white top with hair style 1, white top with hair style 2, with 10 renders each. Maybe MC stands with his arm around her or not around her depending on his LI path, so that doubles again to 80 renders.

Add to that if DPC can do more he tends to do more because he wants to have the best quality product, so instead of a pair of the static renders for each condition he makes a 5 second animation in their place because he now has the computing power to do it. Now he has 40 seconds of animation (5 seconds for each top, each hair style, and each hug/not hug version) to render instead of 16 stills, though really just 8 since he has to render the last animation frame as a static to land on at the end of the animation. Look at his last status post about how he's adding more things to render because of the extra capacity and you will see that his update production time might actually get longer with the new hardware.

1- I stand by my statement
and
2- Chad!

I'm not having this convo beyond saying those 2 things.

If you wish to drool over needle dick Tybalt , knock yourself out,
but you're going to do it without me in that convo.

Though with what happened at the end of Bella's route in episode 9 it will be interesting to see what will end up happening with everything regarding their relationship.

Interesting how everyone seems to have forgotten an obvious solution (albeit temporary) for Bella's path. Hell, it's ironic cause we got it revealed to us in episode 5 and now it will probably come into use again in episode 10; the DIK secret code.

Either Nick calls it or Fuckface calls it. As far as we know, both still haven't used it so far. Of course, if Nick calls it that will only make him seem more suspicious as his motives for doing anything are still unclear, but that's another post entirely.

However, I don't believe it will last, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we see the secret code completely broken in episode 15 just to complete the pattern. Episode 15 possible titles: "Codebreak", "Secrets", "Broken", or to really go off the deep end in references, "Enigma"

Knowing how vain and fake Tybalt is, his body is strange at first. At first, I believed they were implants, to go with his fake British accent (as mentioned by Rusty in the ep 5 flashback), fake tan, and whatever the hell he's doing with his hair to look like mummy dearest. Now, I realize Tybalt is in the same vein (hehe get it? "Vain" and "vein"? *ba dum tss*) as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.

He probably fucks that watermelon while watching himself in the mirror, too. *Shudder*

I never included Tyballz micro dick. I said his body, not including his dick.

I'm Canadian bub, Remember you asked me to make a render that humiliated Tommy, to dress him up in women's clothes? I remembered it, though it was hard to understand that you are no longer bs77.
But I came up with something better. "Mother of renders" has came:
Josy continues to make Tommy's life hell.
