I'm gonna mention 1 cool thing a girl has done in this game in my opinion because why not:

Quinn - gave MC a 'Quest' to keep his dick in his pants during a party
Sage - invited MC to sexiest movie time ever
Josy - put on lingerie for a chill pillow fort time
Maya - interrogated MC about kinks and shared her whisper secrets
Isabella - bail Jill out of Tybalt's dates
Jill - let MC crash at her place during Chad incident
Nicole - said "Maybe it's not a work thing" to Tommy while sitting in MC's lap
Lily - helped Quinn with Vinny during Halloween party
Elena - the special shot during dorm party
Heather - told MC she will rat him out to Tommy, but didn't
Sarah - pulled MC out of gender studies class
Melanie - flashed her tits to try and persuade Halloween costume judge
Camila - called MC "ass man" on Rooster
Sally - asked MC for help during Halloween party
Karen - laughed at MC teasing Sally with her glasses
Ashley - helped Derek with spycam investigation
Arieth - helped Maya&Josy for their Scavenger Hunt approval
Riona - indulged MC and his "feline better" dad joke during Halloween party
Tara - gave MC a kiss for holding her costume during Halloween party
Zoey - tripped the fuck out of Tommy with her demon act on roof during Halloween party
Rose (not madame) - told MC what he did during his blackout at Pink Rose
Sandy - brought buttplug to threesome with Nicole
Mona - snitched on Camila spying on MC during the Scavenger Hunt underwear task
Becky - organized cool dorm party
Penny - helped Jacob with haunted mansion activity during Halloween party
Danny - tried her best to behave during Halloween party for Jamie
Cathy - told Rusty that it's not his fault about the Rooster incident
Jade - pinched MC's butt in class

Ok that's about it. If someone is not included that does not mean they have not done anything cool in the game. This is just random on top of my head kinda thing with SOME cool things done in this game in random order and does not mean it's the coolest thing any given girl has done. Cheers!

For anyone who gives a shit about math or wants to check mine with context, I am hopefully optimistic.

DPC's lowest animation per day since last release is 0.9/day with a 1.3/day average in total for season 2

If we take this into account then if he meets this record lowest animation per days since last release of 0.9/day, then that places the estimated amount of days till next release at around 438

Which gives us a feb 19th release date for Episode 11.

It could def could end up taking longer but considering he's been averaging 1.1/day until recently and currently has a 0.88/day average while focusing on the finals static renders.

He should hopefully see an uptick in average animations per day and should hopefully reach a mid feb release date.

 

[Mr.SmithZhang]

What really worries me is that it’s been three weeks without a new preview release. When was the last time we had such a long gap?

 

[Mordreut]

Good morning, coffee time

DPC be like:
View attachment 4382210

The "post recital" time. When some like Heather, and in part Elena, starts to be nicer to the MC. Not that Elena was ever mean before that, just a bit suspicious.

If you give the correct drink and talk with Heather during the HOTs party, she will start to be nicer with you after that (she sends you a msg)

I mean...dude, that was two years ago. All this time and Tommy has done nothing.

It's just time dilation, 2 years for us, 1 month in BaDIK time (from Hallowenn to Thanksgiving)

It's hard to say when I jumped on the Sage train, it happened gradually. I've been with the game since the very beginning, back in the pre-Covid era, when I knew nothing about F95. After nothing worked out with M/J because of DIK affinity, I became more and more interested in Sage and she began to win my attention back in Ep.4, first with her wildness and audacity, but in the second season she grew a lot as a person and finally secured herself as the best girl by Ep. 6-7.
But back then, I looked at the game differently, having only one fucked up save file with a leaked Jade video. It's since 2022 that I've been exploring the game so deeply, Sometimes I even forget that this is a damn porn game.
And then I wasn't interested in Bella as LI at all, now she's great to me and second on the MGs list

My first run was almost the same. Without using MODs, I was rejected by Maya/Josy at the end of episode 4 and after failing to get a second chance, Sage was the chose one. As you say, Sage grows on you, at some point in season 2 you start to think she can be more than your fuckybuddy and the ending of episode 8 and season 3 confirms that.

This is arguably Bella's most notable flaw (she's a shitty friend). Bella claims that Jill is not only her best friend, but also a special person to her, however, Bella's actions contradict this statement. Bella sees MC for the first time, feels a strong attraction to him, arranges a date with MC trying to convince herself that she is just looking out for Jill, and an unexpected kiss between her and MC occurs.

After learning a little more about MC, Bella (recognizing her interest in MC) tries to throw MC into Jill's arms as a way to rid herself of the temptation of getting romantically involved with MC. Flattered by Bella's "noble sacrifice" of getting to know MC a little better to see if he could socialize with the Royce Princess, Jill feels comfortable going on a date with MC. Obviously, seeing from the perspective where MC chose to date Bella in EP8, we see that Bella's plan to get rid of MC failed miserably.

Jill has reason to be upset with Bella, even though the MC only went on one date with Jill. What Bella did was wrong. Not only did she encourage Jill to date the guy she was already interested in, but she also shared several hot/sexy moments with the MC without letting Jill know. What happened to "Jill is special to me"? Is Jill not special enough for Bella to admit to Jill that she was attracted to the MC and wanted the MC for herself? #MeTrashtalkingBellaAgain

All the history between Bella, Jill and the MC is sad. If the MC starts something with both of them (an asshole move) you will end hurt one of them. Both reactions are reasonable. Jill is younger and too inexpert, so her reaction is more emotional (being very justified). Bella's reaction is more mature and logical. She is hurt, really hurt, but deep down she understands she encouraged Jill to date with the MC and there are many reasons to break up with the MC: the age gap, being MC's teacher, she is still technically married... Both options are too sad, so I prefer to choice one of them as soon as possible in my almost all of runs.

I am so gonna do Stifler's mom. I mean Tommy's mom.

Tommy's Mom, has got it goin' on!

Just can't describe how much I love this scene, absolutely beautiful

 

[Chalk boss]

I agree that his budget is not comparable with the rest of AVN developers, but DPC's rendering quality is totally average. Because budget does not influence rendering quality that much. Quality is not related to the quantity of GPUs you have. In fact there is plenty of developers with a single card that make better quality renderings, just look at other VNs, fan art or sites like DeviantArt. The aspect probably nobody can compete with him is quantity. Nobody outputs so much in the same time.
To achieve better quality he should pose more carefully, deal with problems, choose better lights and so on. That's independent of the number of cards and depends on human work (time and skills). Obviously a 4060 forces some limits and a 4090 facilitates a lot, but a single 4090 is also what DPC uses to pose and render static images. So the other developers are not in disadvantage regarding image quality, that's why DPC's renderings are often plagued with errors (most people do not even care about them, BTW).
While his skills on storytelling are better than average and do not depend on the hardware. Writing scenes and minigames also takes a lot of time and GPUs are not helping him in that.

I mean that he can create and render a scene with complex geometry and large number of polygons, while others can't afford it because of limited budget. Can developer A afford to create a scene like large as the voting scene for best costume in Ep9?
He can also enhance the image quality in various ways. Increase the number of samples, place more light sources which will affect noise, increase resolution, increase the level of subdivision which will increase the number of polygons, etc.
If I want to develop a game, I will not be able to create the same large-scale scenes with all my desire. I will be forced to create chamber games with a small number of characters and thus compensate for the lack of performance.

Sancho is not on F95 anymore anyway, so using his mods on past versions will mean you have to remove it and fix your saves with the next update. Unless he returns, it wouldn't be smart to use them now.

I never used Sanchomod, but does it also create new variables like Scrappy? Do the saves need fixing too?

DPC still poses and renders statics with a single 4090. Because you cannot Nvlink two 4090s. If you have two on a PC there is no real benefit. Also he doesn't use RT heavy scenes, his scenes still have basic lighting setup compared to what you can see around. He doesn't look for cinema photography and his priority is to produce fast a lot of images.
Setting up a scene takes almost the same time with a 4070 or 4090 (4090 is faster at previews and has more VRAM that helps a lot in complex scenes, as you wrote).
Many developers have got a single 4090, so they are not at real disadvantage for static renderings.
You are right to say that he's facilitated a lot overall, because he can fully do animation rendering with his other PCs. That's his unmatched hardware strength.
I also think his success is not for CGI but for the writing and the ideas he got (he's also good at coding). And he's really among the best at project management.

For the voting scene (ep 9) DPC fused a few separate renderings because he was using a 3090 at that time (I have not checked the timing). Even a 4090 24GB I doubt would fit that much.

I just don't want people to be discouraged into thinking you need DPC's setup to obtain very good renderings because as we can see in the fan art threads there are people with limited hardware that are doing marvellous stuff. I also browse some CGI communities once in a while and there are so many talented and unknown artists with cheaper graphic cards.

Sancho mod is a masterpiece. It basically works as a very detailed guide and does not interfere with the game directly and the modder made it his priority to make sure saves don't fuck it up for future versions of the game. You will need the mod remover on new update, but that's a simply process and your saves look just like non-mod saves. There are even some cheats for minigames that do not break your saves apparently, but I use Sancho mod simply for +Dik +Chick and +Relationship guides, as well as notification when money or special render is on screen. This is excellent mod for this game!

 

[MiltonPowers]

I don't know about Scrappy's I've never used it. I've never used Sancho's either, but I know he did provide a save fixer that you could drop in the folder and your saves could be used in future versions. Without it, it would crash the game.

I use URM because i know it doesn't change any variables and you don't have to wait for the mod to be updated to use it.

Better Cock Spock, would you happen to know when the thread's rooster friend is due to return? I really miss his style.

Omen

Idk why you're asking me
But I have no idea. He's still on the site, just not in this thread, according to his profile.

I assume this was about me. Yes, I know it was two months ago. Real life got hectic and I needed to immerse myself a bit more thoroughly in games to cope. So thoroughly I couldn't keep up with the thread. I've tried to catch up here and there, but then real life got more hectic and now I'm almost 10K posts behind. There have been quite a few things I wanted respond to, but... too far behind.

This however seems to need a response even if it is two months late. So what I'm going to try to do now is keep up with where the thread is currently while catching up on what I missed.

It's nice to know that I was missed.



Or you meant someone else and this is embarrassing as f*ck.

I assumed he meant you, but it's possible he was referring to someone else. Doubt it though.

Welcome back.
