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?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
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!
I loved DnG! It's long overdue for another one!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 must concur! Which is obviously a safer way to suggest I agree!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 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?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.
