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

[Geralt From Rivia]

As expected animations are biggest bottleneck at the moment. I dont know why he has such a boner for sfw animations, because 90 % of players dont really care. We know you are great producer PinkCake, but whatever really.

He needs to deliver with this one, because he overhyped episode 9 so much, and reviews were mostly negative.

By 2025 nvidia will release 5000 series, so I fully expect cutscenes and development will take 18 months. He cant help himself.

I hope no one gives him the idea to buy a couple of professional Ada RTX 6000 GPUs.

So with luck he'll be done with static renders next week? And will only do animations? Sounds too good to be true. If that's the case, an October release is more than likely.

Problem is, static renders doesnt mean anything for the release... the bottleneck are the animations, and only them.

With 3 Lewd scenes left (and we know that DPC adds the most complex animations in lewd scenes) there is a good possibility that it will take about 8 weeks to get them finished. If i remember correctly (to lazy to check it now) he meant that there are about 70-100 animations left. It all depends on how complex they are, but dont be mistaken, this is a huge number he has to finish. Depending on the complexity it does take one week to get about 5-10 animations done. Worst case? Another 12 weeks until the animatiuons are done. Best outcome? About 4-6 weeks. October release is my guess too... but more at the end of october. I would settle with a release-window between 20th october and 31th. Earlier would be a surprise (not a good one, this update already takes about 2 months too long considering the shedule before episode 9), november is a realistic possibility too iam afraid... but not later than that, if its not coming in october, november is the latest timeframe.

People really exagerate the number of non-nsfw animations, they are actually uncommon, just big.

I am aware of that. This is what most players dislike - filler content that adds zero value to the story.

Hi bros I am newbie what's the game genre is it female domination men slave game or what kind of game is this someone briefly explain please...

No, female domination is in the tag, but it's not really present in the game.

 

[keltboy]

Only female on female domination

, not worth it, specially not at 4x the price.

Building another PC with a 4090 is probably cheaper and a much better investiment.

I know. Ada renders slower than RTX4090. Posted this earlier to the Ocean's SG thread.
Its only plus is 48GB of memory, and DAZ Studio loves to eat memory. This GPU is needed for very large scenes with dozens of characters in a large, highly detailed environment, and I recently read that the 4090 really can't dual-mode and not share memory (it has 24 GB). That is, either use 2xRTX3090, which could do it, or buy a super-expensive Ada if you have high requests for renders. Nvidia in a Nutshell.
Good that DPC can handle it on a single RTX 4090 rigs...for now.

I am aware of that. This is what most players dislike - filler content that adds zero value to the story.

Come on, Derek throwing a paper plane and Jamie flipping Leon off animations were crucial to the plot

Watermelon domination, banana monsters and bee stinging every pussy.
And with all these obstacles, the MC needs to avoid strap-on attacks to become finally a DIK !

 

[ffive]

Note that this does not include the phone content.

DPC: Good news, everyone! I have decided to add a freeroam minigame to MC's phone. It'll require some 5000 new renders, but it'll be so worth it!

Guess you missed out on Jade, Quinn, and Bella's scene at the end of Ep 8.. Granted it's not your typical "FemDom" scene with whips and leather latex overalls and ballgags but the genre is still in there.

I think he just sees it more than just a porn game for people to masturbate. And as a guy who doesn't do it either I can see it that way. This game has a lot more focus on building the story and character arcs in a believable way (as much believable as you can do student fucking a teacher, or 5 girls in one night).

It is really frustrating for fans following the production more closely but I think it's gonna be received well when everything is finished. I have the same opinion about episode 9. Tragic episode to be the last one before "no more content" screen but it's gonna be a great change of pace once further episodes get released.

It's also the topic filled with many shades of gray. DPC does everything because of huge support from the community but the community isn't a game developer that created this IMO great game, DPC is. How much should their opinions influence the dev process? Wouldn't it make it worse?

I, for one, believe that SFW animations is one of the parts that make this VN stand out from the rest and feel more, professional, let's say.

I also believe that sometimes we humans only think we know what we want or need. And even thought sometimes there are excellent ideas here or on Reddit, I don't think it should be the best course of actions if the mind and the vision of one guy led us here, with this quality that we have.

As the saying goes: Too many cooks spoil the broth

Seriously hope none of these free-roams are DnG again. To each their own but the absolute low point of the whole game so far for me and Dr P got me worried having Jill DnG on his Discord banner.

DPC is very cyclical in his work. we have seen D&G in chapter 2 and 6, it seems to me very likely it will be in chapter 10

 

[Hahn1900]

Yeah every episode after episode 6 i was afraid to encounter a D&G scenario again.

Perosnally, i like Pen and Paper a lot, played it myself with a group for over 10 years. But this is being a dik. I dont want to see that shit here, especially not if its just a "parody" and distraction. I dont need that, the game already has more than enough distractions. Yeah most of those distractions are creating more "depth" to the game, and most of the times i like them. D&G on the other hand was a huge annoyance, and mostly because it was made so big. Just a short funny encounter like the first time is more than enough i think.

But DPC was kinda in "awe" about the D&G session in episode 6 and wanted to create something like that again... only "bigger". Iam afraid we will see this in episode 10 too. And maybe he is going overboard again with it and MC and his "girlfriends" will join in on magnars group for good and we will see a D&G session in every episode from now on... wouldnt surprise me. Please... never ever D&G again. Would be very much appreciated.

I didn't like it at first when episode 6 came out but I liked it a lot more while playing through EP 1 to 9. Great change of pace and also it's D&D hype because of Baldur's Gate 3. I love the fact he put such a love letter to this game. Also multiple endings are fun!

Well, if he wants to piss of his fanbase, he will create D&G freeroam event. Something short, that will push plot with Sally is welcome, but 800+ renders ? I really hope he is not that insane.

At this point we have main arc, + 10 or so arcs with LI's. Fans want to see pace picking up and plot moving forward.

 

[Darkwen]

Damn animations left

Seems like I heard this somewhere before but at least the scenes are close to being finish

1. I disagree with you. Take BADIK for what is it. Adult visual novel with decent story.
2. This point I actually agree. I think ep9 will age well when looked at when season 3 is done. It felt short but it did plant seeds for future conflicts.
3. I mean he wouldnt be where he is without fanbase and patrons. I respect his vision for main story and plot, but in the end you need to give your fanbase what they want.There is a reason good guy always win at the end of action movie.
4. Once again we go back to point 1.Your average consumer doesnt really care about that.They bought the game to see some porn and thats it. Decent story is a bonus.

I don't like D&G, I find only Lynette's diary more boring than it. But despite this I expect it in the next chapter

Episode 9 indicated that DPC's lost the plot as regards to what feels right. The dude's long-ass animations were just pointless. He even had an animation of the preps coming to the Halloween party in their whatever-the-fuck-they-were-wearing costumes. No one gives a fuck about the preps, why include them in an animation that probably took a day to do?

If episode 10 turns out to be a DPC vanity-project (which is the direction this game seems to have started to take), I'll have pretty much lost interest. Sure it's polished and looks better than most games, but it's becoming bloated the way all good products go once they forget what they are doing...

Totally hope to be proven wrong!

Seriously hope none of these free-roams are DnG again. To each their own but the absolute low point of the whole game so far for me and DR P got me worried having Jill DnG on his Discord banner.

I loved DnG! It's long overdue for another one!

DPC is very cyclical in his work. we have seen D&G in chapter 2 and 6, it seems to me very likely it will be in chapter 10

I must concur! Which is obviously a safer way to suggest I agree!

I bet if the next DnG game results in Sally being "nicer" to the mc, and Magnar wondering what the fuck is going on (or just being nerdishly oblivious), people are gonna start changing their tune about the DnG game. It could lead to some "progression" after all, know what I mean?
