if you are referring to the face, little to do you are absolutely right

Carolyn has said many times that he/she(?) likes Maya's second hair better than the normal one she wears.

the hair definitely helps, but the second is really a better face

in the first one, okay it's hard to notice because we're looking at the butt, but it's really so much "man in a wig"

You mean the future Netorare scene DrPinkCake has planned for Isabella, in which she has sex with James while we watch from the closet?

(it's a joke of course)

Wellllllllllllllll
For that, DPC's balls would adorn my wall as an ugly reminder of an ugly encounter that was well deserved....
I was actually going for something like she holds a gun or an axe or something to someone's head and yeah, no, fuck it...
She can murder whomever.
James' cock gets shown, it better be with fuckface's kung fu death grip style of death blow.
Peace

Why you gotta do her like that

 

[Arigon]

Why you gotta do her like that

Call me old fashioned, but I kinda like laying the bitch slap on Zoey!
I really don't care much for her. I do think she might murder Quinn, who as much as she annoyed me, I would rather keep around and fuck a lot more... But Quinn is gonna catch a bullet from someone... just hope it is a drug dealer bullet and not Bella's axe!!!

Maya's father definitely seems to have double standards. Not only does he treat Derek and Maya differently, but we also know that Derek reads Patrick's secret magazines. Ergo, the porn magazines are Patrick's.

I wonder if Patrick saw a woman in his porn magazines that caused Patrick to tell Maya not to bother with Josy?

This is not to say that Josy is pictured in such a porno magazine, but what if it was Josy's mother?

well that would totaly be a funny turn of events. his daughter may not date her daughter, but he is alowed to date Josy's mother? think tommy will still have a word or two to say and do about that.
hell Tommy is opening up to me (after being a lousy father sabotaging all my efforts to become a member), maybe tommy will also open up to Josy, and then learns what a douchebag the father of her love is like and force a condom down his throath, and if ya ask me a dildo up his arse

 

[Sephiroth_85]

Wellllllllllllll
Per questo, le palle di DPC avrebbero adornato il mio muro come un brutto ricordo di un brutto incontro che era ben meritato....
In realtà stavo cercando qualcosa come se puntasse una pistola o un'ascia o qualcosa del genere alla testa di qualcuno e sì, no, fanculo...
Può uccidere chiunque.
Il cazzo di James viene mostrato, è meglio che lo sia con lo stile del colpo mortale kung fu di fuckface.
Pace

Zoey has a disproportionately big ass. She's just fat. Apparently she ate a lot of pies therefore she got a big and ugly ass. Just compare it to other asses.

Look at that waist, how can she be fat? You need glasses my dear friend

Camila and Zoey's asses are big and fat and that's how I like them and Melanie has a small ass but it's one of the best in the game because it looks more realistic than other asses here

Camilla's ass has a clear outline and texture.


Zoey's ass was just inflated up by jack handle like a flat tire or a balloon. She's just...big and shapeless.

Sometimes the patrons are stuck with poor choices, and sometimes they simply make poor choices (IMHO). BUT WHO THE FUCK ARE THE 118 PEOPLE THAT WOULD RATHER SEE RENDERS OF GUYS???

Me, actually. Granted, I did vote for girls too, but I have no problem with guy-centric preview pics as long as they're interesting. It's not like I'm looking at previews to leer at girls in lewd positions; I've got plenty of games for that. I just want some idea of what DPC's working on. The guys are a big part of the game, so no reason they shouldn't get previews. As I recall the pic of Rox and Buddy back before Episode 6 sparked some good discussion.

It is all up to DPC's talent to see if his work is accepted into mainstream or not. My assertion is simply that DPC wants to give it a try after BaDIK. I am not advocating the theory that he will be as wildly successful in the endeavour as he is in porn games. Lucky for him, he is set for life (unless his wife is spending the money as fast as it is arriving). He can afford to take a shot at mainstream without losing that much and without having to get a day job. Like I previously stated, Patreon/steam income won't disappear if he moves in a new direction. People will be playing AL & BaDIK 15 years from now, after the game is done. Every year, a new batch of horny 13 year olds comes of age and discovers F95. I still play and enjoy games from when I was a kid, like KOTORs, which have outdated graphics, so barring another house fire, I don't think BaDIK will be obsolete for a long time.

My personal preference is that DPC retains some lewds in his work. I would happy if he continues in AVNs, but I certainly would not mind if he does a Mass Effect style game. Again, not the same story or even genre, but a story-focused rpg accented with R rating type lewds would be quite fun to play. I actually think there is a market for a good game with softcore elements. The trend in Hollywood and increasingly in games is for less not more female nudity. We need a champion in mainstream to...#FreeTheNipple !

Like a few others, I vaguely recall DPC mentioning that he hopes XXX games will become less stigmatized, but I can't find the reference at the moment. Personally, I think it's likely he'll stick with explicit sexual content if and when he moves on from BaDIK, but that's a long way from now and he's certainly ambitious enough that he might decide to try swimming in a bigger pond.

If he does so I think he'd probably be less financially successful just because he'll be a smaller fish competing in an arena where dynamic 3D graphics seem to be the dominant force (graphics beyond his present capabilities). But who knows. Markets change and technology does increase. And DPC does have some very real strengths as a writer, many of which would translate perfectly well to 'Hollywood' style sex scenes, so maybe he'd be able to catch lightning in a bottle again.

Either way it's not something I'm going to worry about for years.

We could have also been treated to Zoey flashbacks throughout S1 and S2 so as to not need one big exposition dump to justify her presence, but then again that would have needed this whole thing not to be a retcon for cheap drama

It's certainly cheap drama, but it's no retcon. Zoey didn't get an animated flashback sex scene just to remain forever off-camera.

In this never ending debate on DPC hiring staff to speed up production:

One major factor that doesn't get discussed enough (or maybe it does and I'm just not paying attention) is there is still the main bottleneck in the rendering of images and animations.

DPC provided a critical comment in his May 13 status update:

So 26 (lengthy) animations are gonna take two weeks?

Once again, referencing mpa71's BigTable™ for the data, episode 8 had 358 animations. So if you take two weeks for 26 animations, extrapolate that out for 358 animations, and guess how many weeks you have? Just over 6 months worth!

Now it's not a perfect science, the run time of each animation is obviously a key factor in determining rendering times, but regardless, DPC (last I heard) has 8 x RTX 3090 GPUs at his disposal. He is a rendering machine!

So while all that shit is rendering away (and I've only talked about the animations, there were also 4158 images rendered for the last episode too) he's working on other things (and sleeping occasionally I presume).

From most of his reports, DPC has renders (images and/or animations) queued up and processing pretty much all the time. He has 8 of the most powerful GPUs money can buy, and I presume he doesn't have 7 of them idling away while he presses "Next to Continue" on the one rendering PC for each item; obviously he'd be utilising the shit out of them all.

What good would employing more people do? Why not just buy more and more GPUs; every time someone whines things aren't coming out fast enough, just buy another GPU. Obviously I'm getting facetious now...

Based on some data that ename144 has provided for CoBD, Phillygames is averaging 55 renders and 2.8 animations per week (since chapter 11).

ename144 again has summarised some data on previous releases of Pale Carnations, at the time the episode averaged 82.4 static and 4.5 animation renders per week.

I understand Pale Carnations is done by a two-man band. I'm not sure if Phillygames is a solo artist or if he has people on the books.

DPC has been churning out on average 138 renders and 8 animations per week since episode 1 was released. While the image render rate hasn't changed much over the years, the animation render rate just keep going up (and they are getting bigger), last episode averaged almost 12 per week.

So I could hunt through all the other games out there that people consider good quality, and try to find the details on each one of them, but what would I be achieving? Proving that on his own, DPC's output is 2-3 times faster than other developers who already have teams? I think that's what we'd find.

Employing people would just prove to be a headache with very little positive impact on delivery time since DPC is doing all the work himself in parallel to the rendering process.

And anyway, knowing DPC, if he did employ people and magically streamlined shit so productions was even faster, he'd just decide to deliver more over the same time frame. Eventually the whole game would be animated with no static renders.

TL;DR?

• DPC churns out a lot more images and animations per week than other developers.
• DPC queues up the images and animations and has them running 24/7 on 8 RTX3090 GPUs.
• DPC works on everything else while these renders are processing.
• People are whining he should get others involved to make it a faster process.
• People don't get that the payoff would be little if he did that.
• DPC would just make the game bigger if things got faster.

Reasonable analysis, though one thing that has changed is that DPC used to have a static render queue back in the day. When he got his god-tier rendering setup for Episode 7 that more or less dried up. He can very nearly render static images as fast as he can pose them. Personally, I think that's a big part of why he stopped giving weekly art numbers, because he realized he needed to pace out his efforts a little more deliberately and didn't want to explain away the occasional week without numerical progress. Very frustrating from my point of view, though he's not necessarily wrong about how humans on the internet act.

At any rate, to me this does strongly suggest that DPC *could* benefit from hiring underlings because he himself is very much the bottleneck in certain key areas. But as we've covered, that's a nonstarter because at the end of the day DPC is happy to wait out those bottlenecks. He'd rather spend an extra month or two enjoying the hell out of life (and being paid for the privilege!) than have constant headaches from herding cats just to get the game out sooner.

As someone who dislikes management I can't really blame him for staying solo and frankly, I think we're better off this way. He's not going to abandon the game while he loves working on it so why risk undermining that enjoyment? It's not like the updates we eventually get are undersized relative to their development time (the Interlude excepted).

Carolyn has said many times that he/she(?) likes Maya's second hair better than the normal one she wears.

That's okay, Carolyn can make a mistake once in a while. Maya looks good with the straighter hairstyle too, but the flared bangs are much more her style.

Not that I really care as long as they sit on my face I'm happy

 

[sixart]

The typical death threats and threats of bodily harm that come up from time to time are clearly just jokes though.

I know some jokes... strangely none of them has anything to do with harming someone... I know what you mean though... but I'm not saying it's an okay thing to do... ignore 'em long enough and you will not recognize a real threat when it arises

Ask @sixart , he is always happy to help!

Oh really ?!?

@sixart is there any new link for 0.8.2 Android? The old one isn't working

I don't know of any new links... I just tried them a couple of hours ago... wonder if you find them

Can we apreciate the advantage of the classic waifu wars, but this time with pictures of asses. Aren't they so much better than long text blocks over loan legislation or about teenage fidelity moral codes?
Isn't better a world with huge asses all around?

I mean it has sense... But still...
