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

[Deleted member 1949107]

admit it, you bang lily on your every playthrough



both need to like you to get in either's panties. but if you pick jill, you have a conversation where you gently put bella down and if you pick bella, jill catches you banging bella and runs off shocked. so... you can't have them both

You gently put her down? Gently? GENTLY?
I don't know if you can tell but she got emotionally nuked and there's nothing gentle about that. Also, MC is a bitch for having the breakup conversation through the phone .

Spoiler: GENTLY

Hey if you put down Bella like this you deserve to have her take out the hatchet from her BDSM sex dungeon and gently bury it into your skull.
Much rather watch Jill getting cucked and put on her angry raccoon face than ever betray the Ice Queen

Spoiler: get cucked

Backgrounds are just a disaster and a problem for all independent developers. Almost everyone uses ordinary photos for backgrounds and therefore there is a discrepancy between the environment and the model of the characters, as for example here


And now let's look at the backgrounds in the Interlude



It's just a small detail showing Pink's progress as an artist. He stopped just taking stock photos and using them as backgrounds, as it was in the first season, and began to make an environment in a Blender from scratch.

But there's something left that Pink still hasn't fixed.

Naw..
I am pretty sold. Too many signs out there of a change in the wind. DPC wants to write a fantasy AVN. He will cash this in, or rather do a quick finish as his branching is too complex and then POOF it is over....

You mentioned a few answers in your post about the value of recruiting:

• Offer a better quality game;
• increase the frequency of the release;
• thus, gain more contributors on Patreon;
• finally free up more time for himself, for his family, or to devote to the task he enjoys the most.

Many popular game on this forum have taken this step. I'm not saying teamworking is effortless or risk-free, but the challenge is achievable. There are even projects that have survived thanks to this move.

The problem i have with this forced mentality, because of personal impatient. Yes, it might be achievable what you say, but it's not Risk free right? You admit yourself. and thats alone enough to not risk it, because if it's not work, he end up in a worst position.
The blame is on him no matter what, so why he should rely on other people's. Instead of developing the game in his own pace, he would spend time overseeing the other peoples, to do the things the way he want them to do, and even then its not gonna be they way he would done it.

Cristiano ronaldo can be the greatest player all time, but if the other 10 is not on his level, than the team is weak. Tiger woods don't need to rely on anybody.

by doing the things the way DPC doing, he does not have to rely on anybody , the failure and the success are both his. But it is his failure if he has a team too, however the succes would be considered " Team effort " .
Yeah I would not need this either. and the truth is it has way more chance that the game would suffer, if DPC hired a team. The risk is to big to take it , it is obvious so its not gonna happen.
and no matter how many times people try to force this idea it's not worth it. If it would he would already done it.

Not entirely true.
DPC is a control freak. He is clearly not a perfectionist. One only needs to breeze through BaDIK or AL without paying too much attention to see shit tons of mistakes and clear breaks of logic in his writing. He HIMSELF has said writing is his weakest link. He clearly should come up with the over arching ideas, and then let better writers write, and let the proof reading and editing team actually do what they need to do, instead of tread around his huge ego.

Peace.

This and the fact that he is an author is enought to say that working in a team will not work.

I love how ever since he said, that he considering writing as his weakest talent, everyone one of you DPC hater always use this as some kind of self validation, like : " Haha I told you so, See, he is a shit writer, he said it himself, I was right, haha shit writer , everything he write is shit, he should hire other to write for him, because he can write to save his life. I was Right haha
" Did I miss anything ?

meanwhile in other games : " You just a cheap 20 dollar whore who look like Monica buckfett so shut up and suck my dick " - But somehow, these masterpiece writing style never encourage people to say, may be the creator should just stick to the render making , and let others do the writing for him,I wonder why

Oh, you would never find me calling those a masterpiece.
I call shit, shit.... I call excellent writing, excellent writing.
DPC is not excellent writing.
And I don't hate him.
He is arrogant.
He is a control freak.
He is a hugely talented artist.
He is a mediocre or worse writer.

 

[ChipLecsap]

DPC is not excellent writing.

Nobody said that, but he far from as bad as some might make it to be. He is good, and good is more than enough, because it's entertaining. Why some folks have problem with this to admit and let it go is weird to me.

Come on DPC with a team of 300 workers can fix that face in 4 years of development

You can't enroll in a University after the academic year has started. And you MUST submit a few months before the academic year starts.

Different universities in different countries have different admission rules.

Whatever actual university policies might be, B&R allows 'rejects' to enter if there are 'no shows' or 'quitters'. We are told that Quinn and Riona were both 'rejects' and we see (in Episode 3) Lily and Caleb being led in by Cathy during the 'March of the Rejects'. That is also how Josy gets in.

So, it would seem to me that all we need is for a student to leave during the semester for there to be an opening for Zoey. Let's see now, has anyone left? Like maybe Mona? Or perhaps even a student who is pregnant? Has anyone gotten pregnant? Hmm...

 

[nyrek]

You gently put her down? Gently? GENTLY?

yes. you talk like grown ups. better than a screaming match. or the axe from bella's garage into your skull.

This week I wrote dialogue, planned more of what I needed to write, and coded almost every day.

I got into a good flow and managed to create a lot of content for the episode.

I wrote entire scenes and the shell of other scenes that I will continue working on.

Looking only at the amount of code written so far (scenes, free roam, branches, etc.) and comparing it to Episode 8, the longest episode in the game, I'm at 54% completion of dialogue if I was aiming to match episode 8 size.

We'll see where we end up in terms of size.

Next week will be a mix of posing animations and writing. I feel I want to continue writing before I work on static renders to be sure of how much I'm putting in the episode.

All PCs are rendering at full speed throughout all of this. 70 animations are completed so far.

You can look forward to a fresh preview next week.

Have a nice weekend

Dr PinkCake

Didn't get round to posting this on Friday.

Since we got a new animation update I have updated my chart.



Animations have averaged 10 a week since the last update, however only 8.75 since Week 1. Episode 8 had (an estimated) 104 completed and an average of 13 at the same time in production.

The last update on stills was week 5 and there were an average of 160 compared to episode 8 which only had an average 60 at the same point.

If the average of animations continues to be about 10 as the last few weeks, then he won't reach the episode 7 total of 250 until August 28th pushing the release into late September.

In my last update I predicted an August release. I'm still hopeful for that, as the early numbers can be a bit a bit misleading, but honestly, i'd say from a visuals production side he is behind schedule, and looking more and more likly there will only be 1 proper chapter this year. (Though that does open the door for 3 next year)

When people say something like that, they don't even have an idea what is a good or bad letter. The story of DPC is simple, but it works as it should. And that's the main thing. Excessive attention to detail would complicate and confuse the narrative (which is what many games on this site do). All that people consider bad writing is gameplay assumptions without which some elements of the game would not work. Of course, I have complaints about the narrative of DPC, but it is not so terrible (at least by the standards of games on this site) as you think.

Peace.

Has he ever said that beside that one time when he was discussing exposition in erotic scenes, because if not, you are just taking him out of context to enforce your bias?

Not going to comment on his personality as I don't engage on his patreon or discord, all I know of him is from this thread. But surely he deserves the money he makes, which is what matters the most. Theres quite a few people in this forum who holds a game developer tag but can't even boot a PC. There is also game devs who are lazy and take advantage of people's support. This pinkcake guy, you can tell by the gameplay itself he was working hard to drop an update, whenever it comes out.

One of the few good devs in adult games today.

Everything is somewhat simpler. Pink said that BAD would be his last game after which he would retire. It makes no sense to hire a team for a game that can be done in 2 years with a team.
