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

[Takkatakka]

Because now we are stuck with rendering of last animations, while we learned that about half of them done in 60 fps, which doubles time needeed to render the same animation in compare to 30 fps ones.

Yeah, that is the core problem here. Animations were already the bottleneck here, so how about we just double the amount that has to get through that bottleneck?

If writing would be what defines the pace and the rendering stations had times where they just weren't doing anything...okay, fair enough. But making the thing that mainly prevents you from releasing the update take even longer...that is just a very bad decision, no matter if it slightly improves the overall quality. Never mind the fact that it also has considerable downsides for people with weaker system or low dl quotas and/or bandwith etc.

Because now we are stuck with rendering of last animations, while we learned that about half of them done in 60 fps, which doubles time needeed to render the same animation in compare to 30 fps ones. Perhaps he started this experiments after moving to 4090. But anyway, that took a lot of time. And I doubt that he wanted to end up and end all his work and then just write in one of updates "sorry guys, I decided to test 60 fps animations and they have to render for 2-3 month, but the rest content is ready". He obviously prolonged and made his work in a way to be able to complete it together or closer to rendering the last animations. Otherwise his patrons may not understand it correctly.

When you put everyone in front of the fact about the reasons and why it happened, but you are already close to the release, it's one thing, and it's quite another thing to say that you are experimenting with 60fps animations in this episode, and therefore everyone needs to relax and wait 2-3 months because of that.

That's how I see it.

And how would that have moved the release to August, when he still isn’t done with the keyboard work.

You’ve explained why the rendering will take a bunch of extra time after the keyboard work is done (which is still a pretty naive understanding of creative work), but that still doesn’t change the fact he still isn’t done with the actual manual labor involved, which has nothing to do with the 60 fps animations.

And your just making shit up about him prolonging the work to match the render time. There is nothing to indicate anything if the sort, and it just doesn’t fit his MO as a developer. He keeps pushing himself. The quality and complexity of the renders keeps going up, and the branching in this game is getting massive. It is going to take time. And he is still going to have 4-6 weeks of rendering after he is “done” with the art, so your premise doesn’t hold up.

It's why I stopped backing, 5-10 years is an excessively long time to support someone, at least for me. I have kids already, I don't need another virtual one to keep throwing money at for years on end.

Totally. And no one should feel compelled to give any developers hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year. I supported DPC for over two years, but now just do $25 in the months he drops a new episode. It's akin to buying a DLC, which I feel is more than generous at this point. But I still do money each month for a handful of other devs that don't have the revenue streams Pinkcake has. There are probably better uses for my money (I also have kids), but I enjoy the work those devs do and want to help ensure they can continue.

Sage is shiny again... Well, we have 60 fps with Sage's boob job!
P.S. This isn't Sage's room. The sheets in her room are lighter in color. Although maybe it's the lighting.

Look on the bright side guys now I won't be skipping 30fps animations
I'll be skipping 60fps animations
Animations certainly are a great allocation of DPC's time and effort

By the time this game is finished it will be 1T big the way DPC is going. Instead of doubling production speed, he goes ima make the animations 60fps for no god damn reason and increase the file size tenfold.

Hey guys, it's been a while since i've checked this game (and f95 too). The last update for Being a DIK happened almost a year ago, really? Is there any real news about episode 4 and S3 episode 10?
Thx in advance!

plenty of news. DPC writes up a weekly report. Episode 10 is theorized to drop late october to mid november time!

 

[Joshy92]

I wonder if there will be a Christmas episode eventually?
If so the mc needs to buy some nice romantic jewellery for Josy & Maya
Something that symbolises his eternal love for them

The news is not very good. Our author lost control of himself and started making animations at 60FPS, which doubled the framerate and the new RTX4090 were used for this improvement "that everyone was waiting for" (No). 61 animations are currently in the queue, of which 10 will be combined into one, and a small number of animations will be prepared for posing within 1-2 weeks. In short: we're screwed. The release window could be November, but I wouldn't be surprised that with this amount of data it could be December.

I love it. Utmost respectful "good day sir" gentleman simp here. But in other threads? A complete and utter horndog of a womanizer!

Thx mate. Well, i'll wait then. I'm sure it's worth it. Played this game 2 years ago and was really excited back there.

I hope this game is as brilliant as Acting Lessons

Hey now I'm only really a perverted horn dog in one thread lol
In the rest I'm the kind of guy a girl could take home to meet her parents
Basically a true gentleman

well at this point DPC is more ego than a man.

I said it before. DPC has the ego of ten men. Probably why people think he has a team - to spread it out.
