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

No words needed.

I wonder what he means by "canon content"? Stuff that's in all branches?

Exactly, all the basic content of the general story, including all the inevitable events. A 60, maximum 70 percent of the total

 

[TonyMurray]

Also, that's 80% written, not 80% completed, for that one particular branch's canon story. Does that mean actual completion though, or just so far as what we will see in Ep11? Not that I feel it necessarily means anything either way - if it's full, that would just mean he's ahead of the game in writing Jill's story, but on (or around) target for some of the others.

Whelp, there goes december, also my post didnt age as well as I hoped. 100 animations left...

But, doom posting aside, last year when DPC said he needed to pose over 100 animations was in the middle of august, so progress?

Eh, fuck it, January it is.

Also, 11 animations rendered in a week, very nice.

EDIT:

Not as bad as I thought, here is some data from the 25/08/23 report for ep 10. (The cycle also started in january of that year, so the comparision for this cycle is accurate)


Art
Based on the scenes above, I estimate I must pose an additional ~600 static renders and 70-100 animations.

Current static render count: 4892 produced. 220 posed renders in the render queue. 5112 renders total.

Current animation count: 237 produced. 28 posed animations in the render queue. 265 animations total.



DPC is behind last year by over 1200 static renders, but those really dont matter that much, meanwhile he is slightly ahead on animations, but with a month less in development.

So, maybe december? lol

Eh, it’s mid July, they’ve got barely any lewd scenes left to do, 100 animations isn’t that bad given they just chug away in the background, and this last free-roam to do will no doubt eat up hundreds of those statics.

I’d say we’re at least a month ahead of where it was last year.

UM why not this year ?

Happy blue screen day! I'm not affected by the global outage (so far). PCs are rendering and I'm working.

I've been writing a lot this week. I focused on writing scenes for the general story and Jill's branch. I've written the broad strokes for Jill's content now. There are a few areas left to fill in for her, but she's the branch closest to completion in terms of writing. The canon story is closing in on completion, too; it's ~80% written.

You might wonder about the rest of the branches, and I'd say the order of most to least completed goes Jill > Others > Bella >> Josy & Maya = Sage. The latter two branches need the most work, and I have plans to get to them eventually.

I think it's safe to say that most of the remaining work is branch-related.

The canon content has received much attention so far during this development cycle. While I'm somewhere around 3600-3700 renders into the development, I still have much left to do for the episode.

I currently estimate that I need four, potentially five, more lewd scenes - if you've kept up with my Status updates, you'll realize I've added a few more along the way.

The current animation count is 272 animations (228 completed + 44 in the render queue).

Episode 10 had 335 animations, meaning I'd need a maximum of 16 animations per remaining lewd scene to get the same amount for episode 11, and that's not going to happen. Given my ambition for the remaining lewd scenes and SFW animations, I can safely say that the animation count will be higher for episode 11.

We'll see how that affects the development cycle in time. This is the first development cycle in which I'm rendering everything @60fps. I can see a need for ~100 more animations to finish the remaining animation work.

I don't have a similar estimate for the remaining static render count; thousands of static renders remain.

I've started writing and working on what I assume to be the biggest free-roam event of the episode. This week, I planned the flow of it, started planning events, wrote parts of it, and dressed 60 characters.

Currently, I'm working on the environment, placing characters in their positions, and setting everything up so that I can continue writing the events. Thanks to these preparation steps, I can hammer out the art swiftly when everything is set up and written.

I'm feeling very creative with the ideas I get as I work on this free-roam event. Since the episode development started, I've had big ambitions for this free-roam event, and I've been looking forward to creating it. I aim to make it one of the highlights of the episode.

Have a nice weekend

100 + 44 in the queue animations left, he already has done 237 animations in ~7months now. So its realistic to say he needs another ~ 4 months for the rest. On the 21 of june the animation rendered were 190, so roughly 47 animations in 4 weeks rendered, thats neat.

Everything else doesnt matter, producing the still-renders is not time consuming at all. The writing part is something that DPC can do fast too because he is always planning most of the episode ahead... the animations alone are setting the timetable everything else goes around that. For another 100 + the 44 left in the queue, it is most likely that he can finish them in 13 weeks. Lets add another 2 week buffer here... so... about 15 weeks for the animations, everything else will already be done when the animations are finished. A little polish time and testing time added... hm, 18 weeks from now could be the release. Looks like december.

Too long for my taste, but on the other side the episode will once again be a good amount bigger than the last, and episode 10 was huge and the biggest so far by a mile. So yeah, i can live with that... barely.

Perfectly fine
Also voting for end of Jan as my earliest possible release.

 

[felicemastronzo]

Thats true, last cycle, he mentioned he needed to pose 100 animations with one more month of development than now, it really seems he focused on animations early on this time around, props to DPC.


He actually posed 272 alr, with 44 in the queue, btw his PCs rendered 11 in week, which is amazing.


Only in a AVN lol.

Also, here hoping this is the panty party.


If I were you I would only trust his posed/rendered numbers, anything else is not trustworthy.

Back in 19/01, DPC mentioned that the writing of 2/5 routes were roughly done, yet today he mentioned none of them are still concluded, so yeah...


I would argue its a bit less after EP 10.

In my opinion we are well above 50%, I would be surprised if the canon content did not reach 60% at least

There are many canon scenes that differ in the various branches for some lines of dialogue and a few renders. In the single run the "non-canon" portion is really low

 

[Sthr ▚ nix]

But I rarely see a Sage simp around.

I always around. Geralt always around.

 

[KАRАMBA]

the ep11 wont come before march-april next year...mark my words, im a daffy duck from the future

Don't panic.
Put aside pessimism.
It is time to offer a prayer to the Divine Quinn.

Do not underestimate the power of prayer.

 

[shazba jnr]

Episode 10 had 335 animations, meaning I'd need a maximum of 16 animations per remaining lewd scene to get the same amount for episode 11, and that's not going to happen. Given my ambition for the remaining lewd scenes and SFW animations, I can safely say that the animation count will be higher for episode 11.

And I can safely say that episode 12 will have more than episode 11, and episode 13 will have more than episode 12, and episode 14 will have more than episode 13 and episode... FUCK ME!

80% of one path, the path with the most content so far, he then states that another path (others) has less content, another path has less than content than that (Bella) and two other paths have even less content again (Sage and throuple), with a double less than symbol suggesting Sage and throuple paths are a lot further back in completion. My guess is probably around 50% completed.

Also, that's 80% written, not 80% completed, for that one particular branch's canon story. Does that mean actual completion though, or just so far as what we will see in Ep11? Not that I feel it necessarily means anything either way - if it's full, that would just mean he's ahead of the game in writing Jill's story, but on (or around) target for some of the others.

The canon content is the common content that you will see regardless of which path you're on. That could be 30% of the entire episode for all we know...

 

[NebulousShooter]

And I can safely say that episode 12 will have more than episode 11, and episode 13 will have more than episode 12, and episode 14 will have more than episode 13 and episode... FUCK ME!

The conditions for Quinn to accept that threesome are pretty borderline, then okay, it's a porn game so we're okay with it being harmless sex.

But absolutely a mc who knows what Quinn is doing and "romantically" in love with Sage would stay away from her

You can have the threesome without accepting the restaurant. the conditions are:
1. being Sage fuck buddy or fucked her in ep7
2. not being in MJ relationship
3. do not have CHICK affinity
4. cannot be rejected by Quinn before, for this one you only need NOT to try sexy things during the blindfolded game

Then they will ask you if you want a threesome and Sage will convince Quinn to do it.

So you're clean, you haven't done anything with Quinn and her restaurant before.

 

[jd8097619]

Back in 19/01, DPC mentioned that the writing of 2/5 routes were roughly done, yet today he mentioned none of them are still concluded, so yeah...

IIRC that was around the general throughline as in knowing where they wanted it to go, now we’re at the point where they’re actually mostly written in full. So that would be substantial progress.

 

[hakuna-matata]

Let's be honest, do we really need all those animations? I'd rather have more story renders than useless animations. You know.... my life changed when I saw the Preps walking, spinning wheels, Zoey running in the forest, etc...

I said it before and I'll say it again. We're all going to be dead by the time this game is fully developed.

Its not about that, the MC already knows enough about Quinn and the restaurant(& drugs if he is friendly with Riona) to stay away from her on Sage's route, if he is serious about her. He is doing Sage(and Maya) dirty by not actually talking about what he knows, but its more convenient writing to keep the MC a moron until the epic end of season twist when he goes 'fuck fuck fuck' again

I don't know, do we even need this game? can't we just imagine the whole storyline and be done with it now?

And without them we'd have lost Ant's amaaaaazing dance!

I personally don't care too much about animations, some are good, some needed and some others just an extra, but this is their VN and:

1. They can do what they want with it, as every creator
2. I imagine it's also a process of learning how to do somehting else and improve

if we have to wait some more weeks, we wait and good riddance.
