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

[shazba jnr]

I don't think it's cherrypicking, I think it's choosing episodes that are closer to his experience level and hardware. I know I've repeated this a bajillion times but again, all of my numbers only give slack to Episode 10 (and Episode 11) considering it was supposed to be using better hardware, so you really can't compare Episode 7 and 8 to it 1:1, yet even in a losing battle episode 7 is VASTLY more efficient.

That's not true tho, Episode 10 has a lower rate of renders than both Episode 4 and 5. If you include animations it becomes a bit more even, but again I just think animations end up contributing very little to the enjoyment of the episode. The ratio for Seconds Animated/week for Episodes 4, 5, and 7 is 22.6, 25.6, and 29.6 respectively. Pretty close imo, but in the end what that oftentimes contributes to anyway is just scenes like an animation showing the Mansion decorated for Halloween or Zoey running... Things that I personally would have been fine just seeing a still image for.

Of course this is just my personal opinion, and more power to you if you're a big fan of those animations, but I just don't think they're worth the extra time the game has taken.

But... This is the exact thing I'm criticizing... He's investing more time into an animation that for all intents and purposes is the exact same as if he... didn't do that. Not sure what you think my argument is, it's not that the machines are rendering the stills and animations slower, it's that DPC is deliberately making decisions that lengthen the development time with little impact to the overall enjoyment of the game, like I said in my original comment:

Just realised I was fucking up my inclusion of animations, I was calculating 30 frames per minute, not per second... I was wondering why it wasn't having that much of an impact...

So yeah, very different graph:



Here's the data:

Episode​	Static Renders​	Seconds Animation​	Total Renders​	Dev Days​	Renders/Day​
2​	1709​	216​	8189​	87​	94.13​
3​	2289​	282​	10749​	105​	102.37​
4​	2532​	477​	16842​	148​	113.80​
5​	2456​	515​	17906​	141​	126.99​
6​	3336​	513​	18726​	169​	110.80​
7​	3723​	1094​	36543​	162​	225.57​
8​	4158​	1581​	51588​	211​	244.49​
9​	5037​	1568​	52077​	287​	181.45​
10​	5868​	1510​	73818​	336​	219.70​

Total renders are static + anim * 30. Episode 10 is anim * 45 since half the duration of renders are at 60 fps.

So yeah, episodes 7 & 8 were killing it. 10 isn't too bad comparatively speaking, and 7, 8 & 10 shit over all the other episodes.

Totally agree that the excessive and unnecessary animations are the main problem with dragging on each new episode. But everyone's been saying that all along.

The only problem is that Tommy would ruin everyone's party.

The only problem is that Tommy would ruin everyone's party.

Like how he ruined the party in Episode 4, and forced Josy to stop playing Spin the Dildo?

Tommy's not going to do shit. On top of looking even more like a bitch, he'd never try to ruin one of the sexiest parties of the year with tons of opportunities to hook up, especially after Heather dumps his ass.

Some people just like spreading BS...

I swear most people who play this don't read any dialogue at all.

I'm pretty sure he was joking, especially with how over the top he got

If that were true, all nuns would be having anal sex.....
My point is that if Maya really had a strict religious father, the very idea of having sex would be repulsive to her, she would consider it sinful and immoral.
Basically, Maya's no different from Sage and the other girls. She is outgoing, although she considers herself an introvert( why?).
She dresses boldly for someone who lived in a strict family. She easily makes contact with strangers.


I played episode 10. In episode 10, Patrick is not presented as a religious fanatic. He is shown as an unhappy father.
If Patrick really was a religious fanatic, Maya would dress like Jill, be afraid to talk to a stranger, and definitely be heterosexual.
As I said I don't see any pressure from Patrick if first of all Maya can dress as she wants, secondly she is too outgoing for the withdrawn and under constant pressure daughter of a tyrant father, thirdly we hardly see any complexes about her appearance.

Her development as a character is an exploration of her heterosexuality, not a rebellion against her father. We haven't seen her complexes, her constant doubts about her appearance, her behavior, or her reflections on moral compasses.
But this is just an AVN game. And a porn game has a lot of forgiveness.


Jill, even in the summer, dresses modestly and doesn't wear shorts.

I don't understand how you come to these conclusions at all.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

that was my theory for the quick resolution.. long term quinn might not have a choice but to keep quiet and cover if she is having her hand forced by Vinny.. as for everyone else thats more tricky to work around but the whole no signal in her home area could work via quinn.. i havent seen much of quinn either in scenes so there story could be told away from the main mc tracked plot

You might be right. Personally, I hope the MC finds out and you get a chance to be really pissed about it. I'm also hoping this will be the final nail in the coffin when it comes to the Rio-Quinn relationship since she promised Rio that she was completely safe and even mocked her for feeling unsafe. I'm still super annoyed that Quinn managed to fix it after Rio found out she was blamed for the money problems.

If that were true, all nuns would be having anal sex.....

That would falsify my sentece IF I said "ALL girls who received strict religious upbringing turn into woman practicing extreme sexual behavior" but I didn't say that, did I?

I said that OFTEN (and not always) a strict religious upbringing doesn't cause the intended effect but a rebellion instead.
It's different.

My point is that if Maya really had a strict religious father, the very idea of having sex would be repulsive to her, she would consider it sinful and immoral.

Nope. That's one possible outcome, but not the only possible outcome of having a strict religious father.


You are describing the psyche of a woman who has internalized her father’s moral values, and therefore, here and now, it is she herself who represses her own sexuality.

Sometimes, it happens like this—I acknowledge that. Perhaps even most of the time.

But more often than you seem to consider possible, the opposite happens: if the girl has a strong personality, an excessively strict upbringing leads her to reject the father’s authority within herself.
As long as she lives with her parents, she is forced to comply.
As soon as she has the chance to live on her own, she takes the opportunity to engage in rebellious behavior.

I have seen that happen IRL.

Also IRL I have seen the daughter of atheist parents to volountarily become a nun.

---

Therefore, sometimes parental upbringing achieves the desired effect, and sometimes it doesn’t.

There's nothing unbelievable about that .

I have an idea.

If update doesn't come out this year you lot get to laugh at few copium addicts, but if it comes out this year we get to laugh at millions! We are not the same.

Editing look fine to me. Outstanding work.

agreed on the divorcing quinn/rio connection.. id recently gone back through after losing my save files so a whole seasons 1-3 episode run was needed setting out the paths once again but knowing how things pan out on Rio's story this time i was able to set her and camilla their own save page, much like sarah/mel even tho im doubtful we will ever see anything significant on that one even if you choose sarah as best ass, as quinns freebie and as your entry to the best outfit.. only minor dialogues are changed.. Rio however has slowly been becoming more of a front runner side chick for the Others route

 

[Macky009]

Strange. Maybe the persistent file in %APPDADA% is the only one the game looks to decide if the gallery should be unlocked or not?

You could try to copy the persistent file you have in your "game\saves" folder into the "appdata\roaming\renpy\beingadik..." folder too, just to try... But mine is just a wild guess.

Didn't think about that, but it's worth a try the worst thing that could happen is that the gallery is still locked

Do Madame Rose

Do Madame Rose

If it can't pick up female faces, I doubt it's capabilities to pick up sea mammals.

 

[VaderExMachina]

Do Madame Rose

weirdly enough somehow she was the only female face the app managed to detect

Still entertaining but I think it's a better fit for the DIKs since they're more fun-loving than the Tri-Hards-Alphas

Yeah I know everyone's already been saying that, I wouldn't have mentioned it if the guy I was originally replying to didn't say "people act like hes not doing work" lol. Just don't like when people act like the grumblers have no reason to grumble.

I guess I'm cursed now. I pissed myself laughing at that.
