This reminds me of that Monkey Jesus thing in Spain that a Lady "Improved". Where is the bleach for my eyes....

Other than the botched eyebrows, I can see a little bit of Bella in that. I can appreciate a little bit of abstract art now and again. But I'll admit, it's like the artist ran out of paint trying to finish her eyebrows though.

 

[Better Cock Spock]

Funny, I see her more as an Orian, except she's not the slave... If you get my drift.

Bro's never heard of the popular holonovel series, "Vulcan Love Slave"
But I can see her as an Orion too. She's certainly got the seductive moves that bewitches men


Who would win in a dance off, Bella or Sage?

Bella, hands down.
Sage just looks like a grasshopper on its hind legs having a stroke.

I think I have to give my vote to Camila. I do love 'happy endings'.

Hmmmm Bella, she has the experience.

However in DIK overall, Camila wins the dirty dancing category.

Josy however, is quite the adorable dancer. Would be funny if she get into singing and dancing as hobby
(would be fine if she pulled of some french Alice moves though)

 

[DarkKiller]

Grace Mesa is a woman apparently?
Didnt know it was her song.
Cant believe someone like her can have such powerful voice in that ep 10.
Imma just keep pretending its a man, sounds so much better lol

Nah... you're trolling... How the fuck can you hear songs like run run runnin in earlier episodes and think it's a man singing?

Only man I could imagine singing other than Grace Mesa for her song selected in the game (Run run runnin') would be Tom Jones. Other than that, Grace sings it amazingly. Her voice is so sultry and sensual. Tom Jones would be able to pull off a good remake of it undoubtedly. But it would be weird though.

Sage just looks like a grasshopper on its hind legs having a stroke.

Don't be disrespecting Sage Even if her legs were hella long in the first few episodes

I don't remember mentioning Cammy But she's certainly got the ass for all that dirty dancing

How many men do you know named Grace? Stage name or not?

Nah, sure I don't like how she looks in general even if in some scenes I'm forced to admit she looks sweet and so forth. But what killed it for me is when she used the MC by means of his guitar. She damn well knew it wasn't a legit gift and after seeing how the MC reacted she took advantage of him like it was nothing. Didn't give a shit he was wronged and added insult to injury by manipulating him.

And that's not even touching the fact that her temper just gets the MC in trouble. I've done paths where I completely ignore her. And I have to admit that this bit in DPC's writing is extremely weak, as in piss fucking poor, by constantly shoving her path down your throat.

So even if Sage's character is by far, light years better than Maya's. She sort of falls into that same 'annoying characters' category for me.

DPC has created so many character paths that I honestly cannot understand the absolute need to fucking annoy players who don't want to have anything to do with some LIs, to be constantly forced to deal with them. That is such piss poor writing abilities on his part.

Sorry, I sort of went off the deep end there. Some people hate mini games, others it's the free roams. For me it's shitty-ass writing. I don't think anything can get under my skin more than that, other than shitheads that can't type "you" and just say "u". The latter typically earns himself an instant block list position.

Yeah sorry, they are different categories. Sage & Bella are in 'Bust a Move', Cammy is in 'Bust a Nut'.

u r entitled to ur opinion on sage, but u r wrong

 

[funkymonkeyjedi]

YOU ARE entitled to YOUR opinion on sage, but YOU ARE wrong

You fucking asshole!


You're a dick you know that right?

Well, I think that's implied in his name.

It physically hurt to write that poorly

But on a serious note, I've never ever understood people's complaints about Main Girls "being shoved down their throats." Stories with branching still adhere to a basic framework, and that includes mainstay characters. The only time the branching is super prominent is Episode 4, depending on who you stay with means some girls are virtually absent.

Like take Fallout: New Vegas. Popular game often praised for the story and great variety of choice. But no matter how you play the game, any advancement in the story requires interacting with the paths you are ignoring: the NCR, Caesar and Mr. House. Even Yes Man has you deal with the others in some fashion.

Well okay, I reject all the Main Girls and stick to the Others path. But I'm still friends with everyone, as every relationship was built up for the past 2 seasons, regardless of romantic pursuit. MC is still invested in Maya's happiness and well-being, and that includes helping with the loan plot. And so on and so on.

Ok, I get your point of view, and frankly to some extent I can also accept it. But my main argument stems from the point of view that DPC is spending so much time being meticulous about details and hidden clues. That's not to mention all the side girls he's spending time on (some might argue, wasting time on) that, he could have spent that extra time and resources on polishing the main paths more.

I won't even get into the Josy and Maya debacle, but to keep this one short, it's like he's trying to tease the Harem genre without going actual harem. It's like "Fuck off already and get it done". But instead it is seriously starting to feel like, he'll find any excuse to add more useless shit just to prolong the entire project just to milk even more cash out of doorknobs with more money than brains.

In my mind that felt like it was supposed to be shorter than that.


*Edit*
If only I could post that on his Discord.
I'd give anything to see what shitshow would ensue after that.

I can get that. He's certainly self-indulgent, and that absolutely shows in how much goddamn time he takes. But on the flip side, it makes me more appreciative of what we do get. But obviously that can be subjective. For example, Bella blinking in this animation.

Someone responded to me last time I used it, saying they didn't notice her eyelashes flutter to indicate she's blinking. And I can't blame them. But it's such a nice detail, despite being very small and honestly 100% unnecessary.
Of course, contrast that with 60 FPS animations. Or Madame scenes. Or the preps walking/Zoey running.

As for focusing more heavily on the side characters, I honestly can't hate on that. Like I'm surprised how many people actually liked Stephen's extended flashback sequence in the middle of Episode 10, I would've thought bitching and moaning about how pointless it was would be more prevalent. But no, it was a good scene, fleshed him out a hell of a lot more, some people even find him sympathetic now. Sounds like time well spent on DPC's part.

He is taking way too long though, there's a point where enough is enough, and he can't seem to see that. He thought about splitting the last episode, that should be a clear sign.

Every time I see that render, I start wondering when Tremolo broke his arm. That looks way more like a cast than a shirt sleeve.

It's just how stiff his sleeve is, the cuff doesn't naturally droop from gravity. Or maybe it's the angle.

Bella can sign my cast anytime

I agree, it's a nice detail. But the fact it just looks fake also kills it for me. I mean who the fuck blinks that slow?

Hey DPC! If you're going to add small details like "blinking" in your animations, how about you make them look natural at the very fucking least!? Seriously? Who the fuck blinks that slow? But then again why am I complaining about that, when the rest of the animations are also kinda crap. lol

Seems you had that impression as well.
