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

[Mordreut]

I would like to thank Liza.S for sharing the status update. Thank you very much for keeping us informed!

That said, I find the DPC status update aberrant, we are more or less 1 year since the last chapter. And according to his latest information, we still have +/- 3 months, I think, before the next chapter.
How can we tolerate such a wait and above all pay for it, when, whatever the quality of writing and acting, he has ample financial means to get help by hiring talented people to help him develop further? quickly its chapters.
This man is shameful and selfish!
As far as I'm concerned, the financial aid that I had planned for him will go towards other developers, who deserve much more help!

The explanation is:

- Badik is his game and nobody can't touch it (the same reason he hates MODs)
- Hiring people means spends more money and less time milking patreons in the future

So DPC is basically a stingy diva

I think you're lying. No one would wait three years for one episode. Not to mention 3 years to develop one episode is a tremendous amount of stress. He's under a lot of stress and pressure right now according to him, and imagine an episode being 2 years in development.
He's just gonna burn out. I think if he keeps this up it will be inevitable.

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. )) But I'll wait three years. Why not?

I've been working hard on a big lewd scene all week - pun intended. It has mostly been animation work, with some static renders posed along the way.

I'm very close to the end of this big lewd scene, and the animation queue has grown to 77 files.

The big cutscene animation is almost completed now; it's at 2861 out of 3360 frames, and roughly three days of render time remain. After that, all PCs will render lewd animations—half of my systems already do.

I will complete the art for the lewd scene I'm working on within a day or two, and after that, I will move on to something else. I haven't decided what that will be yet, as I've been focusing solely on posing animations for the last couple of weeks. But I want to work on static renders for the eight scenes I have written before continuing to write what's left.

Only one small lewd scene remains to create, meaning the manual aspect of the animation work is nearing completion.

Have a nice weekend

I give up man, at least I know that tomorrow someone will deliver what they promised.

I don't think so. Seasons 1 and 2 are a different game than Season 3.

Tomorrow? What happens then?

Steam saves work differently, I believe, but if they come with persistent file saves you might be able to transfer them. Just download seasons 1 and 2 off here and transfer the saves and hopefully, it'll work but if not, you may have to start fresh.

If to look for a positive in this news, it is in the fact that according to him only half of his PCs render animation and that explains the slow rendering speed. I don't remember how many animation files he renders per week, but if that number doubles with all the power it's good news. KaiserST will do the math and tell you for sure.
But even if we assume that he renders for example 10 animations per week, it means that 40 per month and so in the best case rendering will end in 2 months, just in mid to late January. Again a lot depends on when he starts rendering on all PC's and from that time you can count.
Then it will be necessary to give time for beta testing. He can hurry up and finish it by a week and ep11 will be out in early february.
Either way waiting 2 months for rendering to finish is just so...familiar.
It feels like his PC's are rendering animations 24/7, but he still hasn't gotten it done in a year. I have no idea what kind of animations he has there that he hasn't managed to render them in a year.

About that, if we assume his PCs were rendering at half speed in the last week, that should equal around 5 animations rendered in the time.

With that in mind we can say DPC posed around 32 animations this week and he is still not done with the 2nd to last scene, but almost.

Let's assume he still needs 8 animations to finish it plus 15 for the last one.

That makes the final animation queue around 110 animations, with 23 of them still needing to be posed.

At full speed he could render 10 per week, but that still would take 10 weeks all the way up to 17/24 of january. Add in a week or 2 for the remaining statics that still need to be posed and the beta and we are probably on March.

So yeah, my prediction hasn't changed and unless the render speed is better than I predicted the update won't come any sooner.

Won't the new scenes he's writing mean that he'll need to pose new renders and possibly animations?

Tomorrow? What happens then?

The second season of a serie I have been waiting for.

 

[KaiserST]

Won't the new scenes he's writing mean that he'll need to pose new renders and possibly animations?

The scenes he will write will defininently add quite a bit of static renders, but if you take a look at the last phrase of today's report it does suggest the only animations left are from lewd scenes, so the remaining scenes yet to be written won't need any.

Last time he mentioned his static number was 6K in the 25/10 report, yet he still had had to write a lot of scenes, so I wouldn't be surprised if the final number reaches 7K.

But the statics were never the issue and those can be posed/rendered in 2 weeks at worst

I could be wrong of course, but at this point I'm pretty confident in the march release window even if he adds a few random (short) animations.

Also, I must say my 5/10 averages guess isn't rock solid either, DPC already showed much worse numbers and even some better ones.

For example if you look at the reports from 04/10 and 25/10 he managed a 13 animations rendered per week despite using only half of his PCs apparently.

Now of course, all of those could be very short animations, but he could surprise us.

The opposite is also true and much more likely to happen.

Either way, no need to rush, we still got a few more months in the maddening wait.

How many pages of saves do you have? I’m at 111. I usually delete everything when the new update release is announced and restart

I thought I had a lot at 18 but 111 holy shit . You making sure you don't miss anything.

Spoiler: Didn't make this many for Mass Effect

B-but... One of the previews had Christmas party.... so that means it has to come out in December!

Is it at all possible to come out in December given that maybe developer exaggerates stats to give himself more time, gets a super productive creative process going and technology has no setbacks and everything runs smoothly as intended? Or am I just the most delusional man on the planet..

Judging by what that signature implies about your proclivities, my boy, I'd say the latter

I swear when I first looked at Macky's comment I thought the number was 11 and I thought it was respectable.. I didn't even know the page count could go above 100... The most I've ever had was 28 but after pruning it I got 12 now

 

[redbone89]

has there been any talks about having vocie actors in the future? i mean if subverse can do it then obviously badik can too
