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

[Chalk boss]

Not too long ago, Nvidia made an announcement of the 50 series. If someone hopes that it will give a boost to performance, I want to disappoint you: it will not happen. It's not just because of DPC itself, it's because of the Nvidia Iray engine itself.
The thing is that Irey is a single-threaded engine, that is, lighting, shadows, materials, geometry are rendered one by one, and not simultaneously, as for example in the engine V-Ray.
If I were you, I wouldn't get my hopes up so much for the 50th series.

Exactly, and not only that but even the Developer himself not know, so much so that unlike some, he not even give an estimate like so many do with their assumption. what if he actually say tomorrow , that he add an another 60 fps SFW animation becasue he realized he need it.
so indeed the correct answer ,
WE DON'T KNOW

it is also true that it is tiresome to keep respond to these once a year barfing in the topic type of persons , " Hello, Update ? "


I can'T wait for the next era of : Full save anyone ? , Gallery unlock ? Wy my game crashes ? after 1 minute when the update is dropped

You do realize DPC is not gonna kill Riona. In that case, the choice at the end of ep9 to kiss Riona or not makes no sense, especially on the LI branches.
To kiss Riona or not to kiss Riona is a direct hint of сheating.
I can already see a situation where Riona is released and she comes to MC as the one she trusts the most and MC can have sex with her if he kissed her in ep9.

No you just assumed he'd take it seriously, when a quick look at his patron page, would say that to not be true. It could also be a tongue in cheek reference to the fact the guy said DPK, who is technically not making games. But either way, you, as you always do came to defend DPC and answer. (and you know you do this because you mentioned it the other day)

Sure, I jumped to his defense by saying the update will be released in a couple of months.

Roll the messages back, I'm not giving you a hard time at all. You said you gave the dude a real answer, I was just pointing out you gave him a guess answer.

No, you were picking at words to look like a smartass.

I'm done with this bullshit.

 

[Lagunavii]

Okay, let's look at this logically for a moment.
Bella is a main girl, he can't kill her off. So the whole thing wouldn't have weight to it. We'd already have our answer, we'd know she isn't dead. Ofc, Rio isn't dead either, quite obvious, but still, she's a side girl, at least this way there is some... Merit(?) to it? I guess?
You know what I mean...

Then again, it's DPC, you never know... But I don't think he has the balls to do it.

It's definately not going in the same way as Al so I think all the main girls are safe. The others, there's only really Quinn or Rinoa who can die in a way that's plot driven I think. It's possible Zoey could top herself after rejection from the MC but any of the rest dying don't really do anything for plot.

Someone's definitely dying though. As someone's already pointed out, you don't introduce a gun in chapter 10 if you don't plan on using it later

NVDIA stopped caring about actual GPUs 1 (now 2) series ago if you ask me, and sorry for the OT.

Vinnie most likely?

 

[ChipLecsap]

I honestly don't see it. Rio has never really clicked with me. She comes across as more naive and stupid than cute to me.

are you sure you not confusing her with an another character ?

Mate love your signatures, almsot to the point of convincing me to use one (I never do), if I have to say which one I prefer... so far it's Quinn's.

Thanks for your kind words my friend Always love experimenting with new designs/effects/visuals, etc.

So expect some more BaDIK GIF banners from me for sure in the coming days/weeks ahead. Cheers

Was ready to let rip then. Had to scroll down to see Jill. Thought that was a dig at the goddess

You already had a whole Date and Sex with her in ep10. so by that logic your choice to kiss her in ep9 already paid off

 

[Bazsa4]

and Yeah someone definitely gonna die, you don't show Vinny's gun, setting up the stage that it was not even real, only to not use it and kill someone with it
chekhov's gun

Alright, but if Chekhov's gun, I think the weaker narrative is still Maya's loan. I mean, Rio is involved with Quinn, whose story ties into the whole Stephen thing, and HOT-DIK-ααα-Preps, Tommy, Rusty, Vinny, Nick, Lily and the strippers, I could go on...

The point is, You can't just focus on the so-called "Main girls", and tell ~50% of the players to go fuck themselves.

Obviously Maya's loan, however dumb of a storyline I think it is, is very important, and with Burke these 2 are connected.

 

[Lagunavii]

Vinnie most likely?

That would be who I'd put my money on. I can't see a redemption arc coming for him, so death seems the natural end.

oh when it's come to " dig" at Bella, I am way more gentle

I'm not from the US (only worked there for some years), so I have no real idea of how many college students are proficient with guns, but if I had to lay out a possibility I'd add that

Is not even going to be intentional, guns can be fickle things if one doesn't know how to use them.

 

[Better Cock Spock]

Guys guys guys, can't we all just get along?

 

[L_M94]

Sorry if this has been asked before, gents, but does Season3 include everything from Ep9?
There are so many episodes links that's just too much for me to understand.

 

[Lagunavii]

Maya's loan may not be that important. Remember you can fail to get the paperwork..

The plots got to go on with or with out it

I mean Derek could come up trumps and get it otherways or similar it and the whole point of the scooby gang's heist was just to get in Maya's house and see her real father.

We all have moments when we walk the wrong path.

Salvation will find you

 

[Bazsa4]

You already had a whole Date and Sex with her in ep10

**on the others path
You can kiss her in ep9 if you're in a relationship as well, as long as you're a DIK. +2 Cheating points I believe?

And, just my 2 cents here, but umm... having sex is one thing. Kissing is way more imo.

 

[iamcomming]

as important is might be, how you execute it, is way more important. What has not been the strongest suit of DPC writing.
He certainly can shine during comedic scenes, or lewd scenes, or scenes that lead to lewd. like the whole scene with Rio and MC in Rio room, where MC is messing with her stuff, it is a well crafted and build up scene, the same way as it has a nice build up to an eventual Sally sex scenes

However, when it's come to drama, think about the whole Josy/maya thing. In the whole episode MC constantly bitching about how he was " betrayed ". .Literally the whole narrative tells you it is better for him to stay away from them.

Even before you get the choice to decide what as a player you want, HE ranting about, how dating with others was good for him, and need to focus on himself etc etc, and Derek was there for him and opened his eye etc, it's kind of a whole mess of a speech, and then " HEy I want more with both of you "

and then we get the tip of iceberg with the shity affinity system, because uh-huh , all the major decision you made up until this point that has nothing to do with the girls, will gonna determine whether you succed or not.

I would gladly like to talk about all of this with DPC in a serious conversation, but we know how that goes

i dont have problem with the affinity system. it fit in my logic. you do things. things form your personality. girls like or hate your personality.
when i went to the school. i made opinion about my schoolmates. pretty sure, i am not alone with this.
by their look, by their way to speak, by their first impression. so, in my head, the girls dont have magic affinity detectors.

tragedy to who ? if you not on others path , why would MC even care about it ?!

to me.
if he kill my girl, this game will be dead to me. hear dpc? DEAD!!!!
mc have to care about her, because he has feelings and chick stuff.

I don't give too shits about Rio to be honest, that girls dismembered body could be delivered to the frat house and it wouldn't add or take anything from the story for me.

Now if it was Bella's life at stake. That's a different story...

you are heartless like me. i wouldnt mind if army guy come home, see Balla cheated on him and shoot down her like a dog.
oh wait, i would feel sorry. because the funeral is expensive.

DPC can ask Huang to generate fake DAZ samples by using AI..ah yeah, it doesn't work like that here.

The only advantage of 5090 is 32GB of memory instead of 24 like 4090, which can help DPC in large scenes with many characters. It will slightly reduce the time with scene management. But nothing more. There may be some boost in rendering speed, but DPC will figure out how to kill it.
