You sure about this?Man I don't even care about animations
I just want more Josy & Maya scenes there aren't enought throuple scenes imo
Looks like I'll have to console MayaYou sure about this?
Joshy Nightmare
You have a point.I don't think they know about the prostiturtion, but considering they both get high with John Boy and Tommy I'm gonna say they know about the drugs. The only ones that probably don't are Arieth, Ashley, Maya and Josy.
What do you expect ? It will be the same as always.Uh, is there a patreon in here that could share what the guys think about it?
They think he is just eating popcorn and watching movies while at the same time googling about 60 fps rendering and laughing all the way to the bank.I don't get why people are freaking out over him upgrading to 60 fps animations or why it's considered a bad thing.
Well, in short. At this point we gonna wait most likely circa a decade to get the game completed and if he keeps adding unnecessary stuff it can be even more.I don't get why people are freaking out over him upgrading to 60 fps animations or why it's considered a bad thing.
Well I'm not his patreon but from what i heard and know i bet there's only one reaction...Happy one. The rest is bannedI wonder what the reactions are from the patreons. All that money spent just to join a discord server.
Now I almost want to join just to get a good laugh from the comments on the updateWell I'm not his patreon but from what i heard and know i bet there's only one reaction...Happy one. The rest is banned![]()
ThanksLooks like I'll have to console Maya
Also damn that is a hot picture
Because this is completely unnecessary in AVN and this is its stupidest decision at the moment.I don't get why people are freaking out over him upgrading to 60 fps animations or why it's considered a bad thing.
For me, and a lot of other people, 60 FPS animations in Renpy are very laggy. Renpy sucks when handling them and use a lot of extra CPU. So this means that I probably won't be able to play them if I dont transcode the videos to like VP8 and 30 fps. Or using a custom lib like the one gojira667 made for Ripples that I've succesullfy used for some other games.I don't get why people are freaking out over him upgrading to 60 fps animations or why it's considered a bad thing.
Please, the intervention should be about that DPC needs more PCs!I think we should have staged it when he told us he had like 9 PCs with 4090s in them! Madness!
I feel ya Bro.I want to take this oppurtunity to share some numbers with everyone.
Episode 7 Frames per Day
During the Episode 7 development DPC shared animations frames developed. 85 days into development he stated 25620 were rendered.
Now that's 301 animation frames rendered per day without full resource allocation
Episode 9 Frames per Day
Now lets compare that to Episode 10 when he took his vacation and allocated all resources to animation rendering. He produced 311 animation frames per day. Now obviously the animations are higher quality in Episode 10.
Comparing to Episode 7
From a numbers point of view with the 4090s upgrade he can only barely beat episode 7s animation frames per day speeds.
That is if he is reporting the correct numbers in his status updates. The other important note is The episode 7 animation frames per day aren't even with full 100% resource allocation to animations while episode 10 was.
Comparing to Episode 9
Between the 5th of November 2022 and the 25th of November 2022 DPC reported animations numbers without developing static renders. So we have a three week period of Animations without split resources. Three weeks also provides a large-ish sample group so we can assume the average duration is close to the overall episode 9 average.
From this we know DPC produced 27 animations in a three week period. This results in DPC producing 00:08 seconds of animation per day or 240 frames.
We know Episode 10 during his vacation produced 10.36 seconds of animation per day or 311 frames. A 23% Increase in efficiency, this is pityful when you take into consideration he now has 4090s...
Of course those 27 animations could have wildly differed from the average animation duration but because he never reports duration but count we cannot know for sure.
Conclusion
The numbers he uses to report animations are difficult to record as he very rarely will report frames or length but prefers to use count which he has further preverted with splicing animations together. His decision doesn't make sense from a number point of view unless he has omitted numbers from his status updates. Given he cannot even reach episode 7 frames per day speeds...
But overall,

Because animations were always a bottleneck because they took too long to render. And now, he decided to increase his workload even more by making some animations take twice as long to render for no tangible good.I don't get why people are freaking out over him upgrading to 60 fps animations or why it's considered a bad thing.
Couldn't agree with you more. That's why a while back when he made that decision, my only comment was "for this 1 time only, I'd love to know DPC personally just so I could reach over to him and smack him across the head a few times asking "DAFUK are you smoking you dipshit!?""I approve of the visual improvements, but this kind of ridiculous perfectionism does more harm than good.
I'm a very soft critic of him, so if DPC managed to piss me off, it means he did some real shit. He needs to be smacked with a double drop on Patreon to bring him back to reality.Couldn't agree with you more.

But if I recall many didn't like my comment about that at that time. Earned a few "face palms" for it if I'm not mistaken. Now it seems the sentiment is close to being a mainstream sentiment. Except for those without a clue what it actually means to bump animations up to 60fps just for a fucking VN.
Now I just want to reach over to him and smack him across the head that much more. But this time I'll be using my dick.

I think the only way he'll understand how dumb that is would be if somehow he ended up on an old 12 yr old laptop unable to even launch the opening scene of his own game. Then made to understand that over 60% of users are stuck with such equipment whether for lapptops or PCs.I'm a very soft critic of him, so if DPC managed to piss me off, it means he did some real shit.

I think he will sleep well tonight with 13k patreon subs and like hundreds of thousands units sold of season 1 and 2 on steam lol.I hope those animations will get him the money back and more because if it does not well tough luck for us i guess.
Because they want the content and they want it now, so they can consume it and move on to the next thing in the instant gratification cycle. They don't understand the triangle of good, fast, cheap.I don't get why people are freaking out over him upgrading to 60 fps animations or why it's considered a bad thing.
