Episode 11 - Special Render Preview: Maya #1

View attachment 3409749
Known for his perfectionism bordering on genius, DPС has again made mistakes with lighting.
I don't really know if it's a lighting artifact or post-processing errors, but the genius DPC, who redid the render because of a wrong glow on the bottle neck, didn't redo a much more obvious render.

What with the lines around Maya's eyes yikes
Shadows of her hair, obviously. Which makes me think that the render could be potentially improved by changing the lighting from hard directional lighting to a more diffused kind.

Taste is entirely subjective of course, but more often than not it seems to come from the "my ego is so fragile that you must voluntarily tell me 100% of your history as soon as we meet or else you're cut off" crowd. I mean, nobody has any right to keep their own private life just that - private, from others that they've just met, right? Right? RIGHT?
Uhmm, who was it that was demanding 100% honesty for an unknown question? And this same girl was the one who had just trashed every Frat/Sorority house on campus for their private actions. Seems to me she doesn't respect anyone's privacy.

Am I the only one who doesn't notice or care about these tiny details? Especially when looking for them could mean even more waiting between updates?

the reflection on the bottle? no one would have noticed it. I still now struggle to tell the difference


Well he may have really put a lot of effort into it. We don't know that for sure.
Everything is done professionally and we have a good picture. Except that for some reason the center figure in the frame came out the worst. :p
it came out fantastic
not simple effort, but effort repaid by a fantastic result, do not belittle his work

There is a difference, but it's far more inconsequential than in this special render.
DPC contradicts itself. In fact, maybe the bottle incident is just an excuse to delay development.

No you both, did it's Josy. not Josie not Jozie, not even Josey, but Josy :love: :love:
You really need a new joke. It's either the spelling one or that dumb screenshot you've posted a hundred times. At least Joshy is original with his simping. You've got to level up your simpery

also I was romancing Sage, Jill, Josy and Maya and is the Sage, Josy and Maya ones connected? because when I chose Maya & Josy it showed Sage and the MC walking through the forest and when I choose sage it was the same thing

Also half her problems are just because it's in her head, she can simply fool her father and complete her tuition, like Chad has fooled everyone. She keeps on lying, be fooled by stupid rumours, lack of critical thinking, that Quinn always wanted her into prostitution despite warnings by MC and Subtle warnings by Quinn herself. Even Sage later told her why didn't she simply asked. Too much mental investment for so less reward. Plus locking Josy in a throuple. Hence, Maya is the least favourite main girl.

Lily is what Maya would be with actual balls, she is actually fighting her family, trying to get into healthcare without any support from family.
Don't blame Maya for DPC's writing ... written characters in a story have no free will ...
Even the player can only make decisions for mc in a scene if DPC wrote different options for that scene ...

Uhhmmm, how do I put this?

People criticize Maya because she's a poorly written character, and not only that but she's poorly written and then awkwardly wedged into the center of the story. Her plot is so bad it makes not only Maya look stupid but does the same to every other character drawn into her drama.

The whole point to Maya plot is she didn't read the loan papers and others try to help she whines and whines Maya is truly an awful girlfriend to Josy to the point Chad is actually a better boyfriend to Sage then Maya girlfriend to Josy if she should even be called her girlfriend. This doesn't bring Josy down but show just how good a person and girlfriend Josy is Maya should be ashamed of herself for what she done to Josy but Maya can't see what she is doing because of her focus on the loan. MC said it best in ep2 Maya doesn't realize what she got

Honestly Josy is such an angel to put up with the toxic edgelord Maya, Maya keeps on insulting Josy for her decision to move to HOTs, which she did just for her and even kept paying Dorm fees, no she outright insulted her. Maya has a very holier than thou and entitled attitude.

I know she is going through some rough patch but she lacks critical thinking and how to subtly say things. If Maya was a boy she would be even bigger loser character than most of the tri betas.

Where as Josy is nothing but helpful, she brought in Jill to help her. Never speaks lies unlike Maya. I'm honestly looking forward to conclusion of Loan Saga just to do a Solo Josy run.

Chad is really a good character other than him using Sage as beard, he is considerate for Troy, and keeps working hard for their relationship. Maya should learn a thing from him. No but she needs to be pampered. Like keeping their relationship a secret, it's not like Patrick is against her tuition.

Or may be she can learn from Lily who is actually fighting on her own against her family to get into healthcare. This entire Maya story line made me into a Josy and Lily fan.

If it weren't for Derek I would have ghosted Maya after all this bullshit in game, though we don't have an option to do so.
