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

60 fps were a stupid idea then, now and forever more.

I guess 60 fps is more of an excuse. While the animations are rendering he can be busy scripting, coding, creating art, drinking, hunting, fishing, buying trinkets on amazon....
The second thing I'm more interested in. Will he risk splitting ep12 into two parts. This episode has been in development for a year and a half, he said earlier he was thinking about it. Will he start planning the next episode with a 2-part split in mind or will he use polls as the best way to manipulate public opinion?

Not so fun fact, if you look at the data from the 13/09 report and today's report we can observe that DPC only rendered 56 animations in 90ish days.

Now sure, that number doesn't account for duration nor if any were merged, but that is still a depressing number considering his hardware.

Most animations should be on the shorter end being from lewd scenes.

The statics should be rendered in a week at worst, then it will be a full on struggle for the animations.

I really hope my march estimate is wrong and the EP comes out in Febreaury, but I don't think it will happen unfortunally.



Yeah, who doesn't want to share that you are playing a porn game with their friends lol


Beta took 2,5 weeks last time, it won't take less than 3 with a update this huge.


Even if all animations are quite short I doubt a January release would be possible considering thw Beta periodo.

DPC average is already quite lower than 1 animation per day considering he started EP 11 animation work while EP10 was still on Beta.

The render queue should only finish by very late january, anything faster would be a miracle.

Being a DIK fans don't get those...

You are so demoralizing

Note that not all his PCs are dedicated to animations as of today. Once he finished rendering still renders (which will be done rather quickly), he'll probably use mutliple PCs to render animations (let me cope ok?)

I could just assume a threesome between Maya and Josy was a Christmas present for MC.
Josy writes that they have a present for him, he comes in and gets this scene.
This scene is more about fetishes than logic. There's not a single reason why Maya, who was devout and raised in a family with a strict religious father, suddenly became an anal slut.
It's just AVN logic.

Do you know the kind of repressed shit people raised under strict households hide?

DPC: "I'm not showing you a preview because I want to avoid spoilers. I don't know what to show you. I'll try to find renders that won't spoil anything and that will be difficult" - early in the development of Ep.11

Spoiler: Also DPC:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Fuck me, I can't wait for that throuple scene.

Suspicious as Magnar's acting, he's not a freshman. He isn't taking the same exams as the MC, and if he'd been cheating for years (i.e. if we had somehow found his leftover notes) he wouldn't have needed to buy answers off the MC in the first place. Magnar being the cheater would make no sense - though that wouldn't necessarily stop DPC from doing it anyway.

A more plausible explanation would be that Magnar IS a longtime cheat, but he's found another freshman to help him compile cheat sheets and the MC is now unnecessary.

Maybe it's the tribetas doing it and not just Magnar.

Being a DIK: Season 4 will be the final season that concludes the story. It will be released and sold separately as DLC.

Now I get it. Given that the development timeline is now 15-18 weeks, I think episode 12 will be the final episode that will finalize all the major lines and conflicts.
Season four:
1) Either will be incomplete and consist of 2 episodes and therefore will be sold as a DLC
2) It will be an epilogue to the main game. MC has chosen his girlfriend and defeated all the enemies, the remaining 2 episodes will focus on MC's life after the main story ends.

It says what it says. Episode 12 would end season 3 and there would be a fourth season sold separately, as 2 and 3 were.

S2 and S3 are already counted as DLC on Steam, that's how he calls them. S4 will be a full season

It had a patch.

Can you link me the 13/09 status update. I can't find it nor do I remember that he said "x animations are done"

Found it. He said "306 (39 of which are in the render queue. The count is not exact as some animation files may be merged)".

Correction : Only the Name was Revealed.

Well than then it's obviously Lily Anderson

although some of us assume it's Magnar . . .

How did I miss this? Or did I forget? Not that we know who's Anderson. But "shame" seems to point to someone not expected to cheat.

A lot of people assumed it was Derek since he didn't even have to check to know he passed the test, but I personally think it means that he's actually a genius, like some have speculated. That's why he doesn't have to study as hard.

I've been working on canon scenes all week, some with branch-related content.

I've posed a handful of scenes of varied lengths and am currently halfway through a longer (120+ renders) scene.

To give you a sense of how much of the episode's development remains, here's a summary of what I can state after glancing through my files for episode 11.

• Eleven canon scenes need art. Most of them have completed or partial writing.
• Two big free-roam events are almost complete. Both are lacking scenes with writing/art.
• A smaller free-roam event is needed. It's only planned at the moment.
• Three lewd scenes for main girls remain to create from scratch.
• Phone content needs plenty of work. It's rather bare-bones at the moment.
• The branches have remained mostly unchanged since last week. Except for Jill's branch, the other four branches need plenty of work. I cannot estimate how much, but this is the biggest remaining area.
• Music/SFX needs a lot of work.
• Mini-games are implemented and only need testing.
• Rewards, Scenes, and Pack Quest are implemented and only need testing. Some special renders need to be placed in canon story scenes.
• I have yet to play the majority of the episode, and things may increase the size of this to-do list. Depending on how I feel after playing the episode, more canon scenes or branched scenes may be needed.

Posed renders: 5269 (277 of which are in the render queue)

Posed animations: 306 (39 of which are in the render queue. The count is not exact as some animation files may be merged)

Have a nice weekend

Happy Friday, DIKs.

This week, I've continued to work on art.

I'm up to 6995 posed static renders - of which 308 are in the render queue.

I'm up to 389 posed animations - of which 66 animation files are in the render queue.

I also added Discord rich presence functionality for Episode 11 this week—I'm almost done with it.

I only have two scenes left to pose, and I estimate I need to pose a maximum of 150 renders before I'm done. I aim to complete this remaining art next week and continue working with Music/SFX and other coding tasks.

I can start polishing the episode within the next two weeks if all goes well.

Have a nice weekend

Holding out for a January release, but there's still a room for disappointment

 

[Crusader of Romance]

I'm assuming Anthony says he passes in both cases as well?

How the fuck did that dude pass. He is a troglodyte and people were going on and on about the test being very difficult iirc.

I think Ashley helped him study. Before meeting her, he didn't care thanks to a certain best friend.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

Hello March, here we come. Late February if we lucky. 66 animations, it's 7-8 weeks of render time and beta-test for two weeks at minimum.

He seems to be convinced it will be done in a couple of weeks.

 

[BorgiaBou]

F'in' hell man one year passed since last update and dis mofo still has over 13k patreons c'mon dpc you can go for two years per update and probably gain more support

 

[Ottoeight]

It had a patch.

Sure, the walkthrough patch.

Dream on.

Hello March, here we come. Late February if we lucky. 66 animations, it's 7-8 weeks of render time and beta-test for two weeks at minimum.

He has started beta testing before the final animations were finished in the past, iirc. My recollection is the final animations were inserted the week of the last release, or maybe the week before. Still you are probably correct about the 7-8 weeks part, so mid-February seems likely.
