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

[Kpyna]

Hold up, do you know him personally or something ? or you referring to the same knowledge as everyone has of him?!
you don't know the guy, all you know is what he say, how trustworthy is that, well, that is up to you to decide. There are folks who eat every word he say as some kind of bible, and there are some of us, who are way more skeptical of him, based on his actions rather than his words .

I can see that the project he started developing is still alive, he is still working hard, giving out tons of content, and if you compare it with any other developer, then especially. Yes, it has been taking longer lately, but it would only be a problem if the amount of content was the same or less than before, but the amount of content is also growing.

Example 60-70% depends on how you feel about this %, if we are talking about completed scenes and other content, then the remaining 30-40% may be more complex and lengthy than the rest completed. This way he could spend the same amount of time rendering and completing fewer %

As long as he releases new episodes and provides content moving the game to finale, I'm fine, no matter what he tells. I am always positive, I find it better and more productive than taking everything or most with negative or pessimistic attitude.

I remember, countless time when he said, for example how this and that will speed up his development time, like he no longer does, monthly special renders , so he can focus more on the game, well, we didnt see any improvment at all.

in his latest development cycle during episode 10, he come out and said, that he is around 60-70% around in may, and then somehow he was able to drag out the remaining thing around 7 more mouth coming out with an exuse that now he makes 60 fps animations.

there is only one thing he is honest about, when he admitted, take everything he say with a grain of salt

If there are no improvements, then how the bigger number of renders, animations (60 fps = x2 now), etc fits in the same release times? I'm not even talking about other content like mini-games, whole branching thing and other minor parts.

Let's see how the last 2 episodes of Season 3 will go. If he will stick with 1 year release times then we could say that the hardware improvements used mostly to compensate his growing ambitions. If we will see faster release this time, then we could say that it also helped to shorten release time as well. Even 9-10 months release would be a good speed this time, since we reached the 6000 renders and 300+ (now with 60 fps) animations border.

 

[ChipLecsap]

Do you know what you're admitting? That you always want to be right, even when you're not right.

well, it is not too hard to be right , when you are my opponent

 

[Crosis]

Stuck in an endless loop in the Halloween party. Anyone else have this and or know how to get out?

Same here. Bella talks in mummy suit then resets to Jill meeting her. Did you resolve the problem?

 

[Lethal Flourish]

I like to go in completely blind.

I bet you do

 

[ChipLecsap]

And again you are perpetuating your character flaws. It's somehow boring to read how you try to participate but can't. You're missing something for that.

considering that you can't properly analyse even fictional characters, I'm not sure you are qualified to talk about my " Character Flaws"
not to mention instead of proving my statement wrong, what you can't, you started to attack my personality, not my point, my personality. Thats say more about you than me.

Now, let's try this again, just for fun, and to entertain the topic. Tell me, this image alone all by itself, what is considered a Spoiler about this ?

Not an Implication, not a theory that kicks in to your head by just looking at, but what this Exactly reveals as a Spoiler, what plot or storyline this gives away, directly gives away.?!

Go on, enlighten me ! , But Remember, you not allowed to create a Theory, just purely tell me what is going on this scene, that is considered a Spoiler that reveal or ruin a potential plot

 

[ChipLecsap]

You're so... and you're still not right.

This image is a pure cliché. Woman, dark, something bad is happening. Seeing this in so many films.

The cliché is already the spoiler.

That Is an Assumption, Not a Spoiler !!!!!!.

You don't know what is going to Happen here, You make an assumption. A Spoiler is a Direct confirmation.

so once again, you proved that you don't even know what a spoiler is
I'm done with this conversation

Nothing is really a spoiler, Pinkcakes just wants to not make previews.

Most of his previews are just boring anyways, that some people read too much in to.

that's one way to look at it.
and this is true

 

[ChipLecsap]

And again you don't understand.

This assumption becomes a spoiler because it is a cliché. Who was out alone at night and was attacked? Quinn. DPC has used this cliche as already in the game. Many thread members would consider such a preview. Through this cliché, thread members would also speculate that something bad could happen to Riona.

The thread members would do the reading and it doesn't matter whether there is advanced evidence or not. The thread members reading this assumption would have been sensitized (prepared) for a bad scene with Riona and thus DPC would not have achieved its goal of shocking the players. The gaming experience would have been diminished to a certain extent, which is called a spoiler.

A spoiler is an element of a disseminated summary or description of a media

elements, with the implication that the experience of discovering the plot naturally, as the creator intended it, has been robbed of its full effect. Typically, the conclusion of a plot, including the

are also prone to spoilers. Any narrative medium can produce spoilers, although they are usually associated with movies and television shows. Some people attempt to avoid being "spoiled" while others seek out spoilers to learn as much as possible about a narrative before experiencing it. Spoilers have become more common in the present day with the rise of

, which provides an outlet for people to spread spoilers.

There are three types of spoilers: short spoilers, long spoilers, and thematic spoilers. Short spoilers reveal the plot ending in a very brief and less detailed manner, without any summary or explanation of themes in the story, typically spanning one to three sentences. Long spoilers usually provide more context and range between two and five sentences. They provide a summary and reveal the ending of a story. Lastly, thematic spoilers reveal a story's unifying theme as well as providing a synopsis of the plot and revealing the ending. They range from three to six sentences in length. The general consensus is that there are only negative effects of spoilers. However, research shows that it is short and long spoilers that can cause negative effects, while thematic spoilers generally have a positive effect.

This image of Sage he used as a preview was actually a Spoiler, because it Revealed a plot element,namingly the Date with her, what we assumed is gonna happen at one point, but this Image itself confirmed that it will happen in this episode. so this is actually a spoiler

So Many Spoiler

 

[f96zonetrooper]

It is possible that Josy commuted, as she only commuted to high school at the time. If the high school is right in the middle of the distance from where Iris and Pete live, then it would be possible. But that is not the point.

The crucial factor is that Josy is living with her father in her last year of high school. Maya said yes in EP5, so she visited Josy and met Monica and Tommy. Maya was with Josy who lives in her father's house and this house is near the MC and his father's house.

Not only Josy, but also Maya could have raved about the MC earlier. Maybe you saw him, maybe even the MC on his bike with Zoey in tow. Maybe only Josy or maybe only Maya saw him when she was waiting for the bus because she was going home after the bush at Josy's. Maybe he took the train and blurred out the picture of the MC that Zoey drew on the train. How has the picture on the train changed? The MC's picture has a beard. Somehow the MC manages to denigrate Steve's image with a beard.

The question is which came first, the chicken or the egg. The question is more about who had the beard first, Steve's picture or the MC's picture. Hahaha. Wait..., no, hahaha. Did I come across something there?

In EP9, Josy tells the MC not to be Steve (no beard). Steve was Maya's beard. This allowed Maya to visit Josy. Their lesbian relationship was still secret. Maya kept Steve away by using her religious father and making it clear to Steve that there is no sex before marriage and that's why she sleeps with her high school girlfriend, Josy. But Patrick wanted to get to know Steve and Steve probably said that Maya would always sleep with Josy because Patrick was religious. Patrick confronted Maya and Maya told the truth. Josy tells the MC not to be Steve because the MC called Josy Josephine. Too formal. The MC shouldn't be too formal with Patrick like Steve used to be. Before visiting her parents, Maya told the MC to do it himself, but Derek said, but also a completely different person.

You should stick to content of the game.
Theories are best proved by providing screenshots or part of the dialog copied from the script so that people can find and play those scenes by themselves.

I played Ep1-10 100% recently and I cannot remember a scene where "Steve was Maya's beard." ???

in fact to be a spoiler it must reveal something extraordinary and unexpected, not simply something that will happen in the chapter.

if it reveals something highly predictable, "normal" it is simply a preview, otherwise what would be the point of previews? to see how much PDC, from chapter to chapter, deforms the girls' facial expressions?

and with this we kind of get back to the origin of this whole story, namely that MR cake not posted any preview because according to him they are all spoilers, but unless in the past 2 month all he did was working exclusively on Rio content - something that I heavily doubt in - then he simply either lying or just to lazy to bother with it becasue he reached the point long time ago where he not even need promote the game anymore, or even give something to the audience to keep them engaged during the development time, because that would lead to the question " when is the next update ? " , and he doesn't like that at all.

I did not mean images of "beards" in the game.
(The first one actually can only be seen if you pick the option : draw funny face. (Other options : Draw dicks and Don't draw))

I meant dialogues like this in Ep5 :

mc "Do you know her dad well?"
my "Pete? I wouldn't say well. I used to visit her before my dad found out about us."
my "I met Tommy and his mom Monica a few times back then, too."
my "But none of them knew about us. I mean...about our relationship."
my "As far as they are concerned, we were just friends."
my "And given how it worked out for me with my parents, Josy didn't plan on telling either of hers."

is that the case? She has a bunch of the DIK pictures, but the Cathy flyer? My hypothesis is that she rather posts those DIK photos as a revenge for Cathy, blaming them that she had to quit?!



Granted one could argue that she would take that picture down first and then post the DIK pictures if that would be the case.
