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!

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.

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

Well, the most improtant thing is that show is going on, imho. I'd be really upset if saw the tag "Abandoned" for this project.
I can undertand the anger of DPC's patrons, because they pay, but for me - slow progress is better than no progress at all. So i won't complain if the next updtate happen even in next year.

thx for the reply, anyway

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.

Thankfully that isn't my problem, but I am very much aware that not many can invest as much as I have on a system. Most people are stuck on "hand me downs" or second hand rigs or a Dell.

I personally don't use my work PCs for porn VNs. I have an old laptop PC for those and animations really make the PC fan becoming noisy because everything gets hotter. It seems absurd that it does not happen when playing a shooter game, but it happens with animations on RenPy. I don't know what will happen with 60fps.

The absurd thing is that DPC's animations are not that good so they need better fps to be perfect. They are quite bad actually, compared to current state of the art on rule24video. So people talking about "perfectionism" really make me laugh. Increasing fps is not perfectionism, it's wasting resources and time. And the total weight of the game will suffer too. Most films are still shot at 24fps and are totally fine. Why he thinks that fps is the issue in his animations is beyond my understanding. He's not producing an action game.

It's nothing but ego. And this wont stop, trust me. At this point people should just accept that we are getting 6-7 hours of content every 11-12 months and that is it.

He is very talented and his workrate is great, but he is also very very insecure. I got banned on discord following episode 9 fiasco because I dared to criticize his work. So I am going to pirate his shit like everyone else.
