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

[Trojaner]

Among the excessive meming and Jill hate of late, I'm curious: For those who've walked the straight and narrow path that is "The Path of Jill", was the (to put it daintily) "Jill fucking scene" everything you wanted it to be?

Well, the scene was ok but as most things not really something Special at all. The more i played through BADIK and looking at her Char she just got more and more boring for me. Last time i wanted to play her path again (same as Maya&Josie Path) i just shut down BADIK and haven't played it anymore since then. Interlude was atleast something fresh.

Status Update Episode 9


This week consisted of posing static renders, making most art for Rooster + writing several Rooster posts, coding, writing a few scenes, polishing dialogue, and PC maintenance.

Regarding Rooster posts, several of them are ok for posting on Twitter. It was a previous concern that they would spoil too much, and I won't post the ones that do. You can look forward to more Twitter content

Since my static render queue has been pretty big lately, I made a PC slave render some of it this week instead of animations. Because of this, I'll likely spend some time next week play-testing parts of the episode and getting a feel for it.

I'm still working on free-roam event renders and will do so for several more weeks.

To put the content of the free-roam events into perspective, the biggest one in the episode currently has more than 900 renders and will go over 1000. Making it at least 100-200 renders bigger than the biggest one in Season 1/2 (Episode 7, HOTs party).

I will work on the final free-roam event of the episode next week. I've still got work to do in the others, but I feel I get the most momentum if I push on with this. Plenty of art remains to be produced.

I'll try to make an updated and detailed progress report for next week's status update to show you what work remains in percentages and estimates. It would also benefit me to grasp how far along the development is.

Have a nice weekend

As Dr PinkCake gives details about the rendering process of his game, I wonder why he doesn't pay for an online server specifically for this task. Cloud rendering is more efficient and, I suppose, less expensive than keeping a computer running 24/7, not to mention the frequent replacement of the graphic card. Sweden is one of the most expensive countries in Europe for electricity but has a decent internet speed; So many reasons to work online.

Well, i would actually prefer it that way too and work on my own Servers. Fuck the Cloud. Cheaper yes, Security (No Comment) , Connection Problems from Providers and and and.

 

[felicemastronzo]

Well, not much to see here but perhaps we'll get a proper sense of what's left next week.



Jill's big scene wasn't perfect, but I thought it delivered where it needed to. I'd certainly have preferred if the MC spent a little more time getting some enthusiasm going with Jill, but the awkward passivism made sense for the girl who clearly had some hang-ups to work through. More importantly, it gives us plenty of room to grow in future episodes. Also, while I'm none too keen on Jill's destiny fixation, I very much appreciated the way she verified she and the MC *are* an item now. It made the situation clear for her in a way the other girls just lack.

Indeed, most of the appeal of Jill's first sex scene is that the rest of the LI scenes in Episode 8 are pretty lackluster. The Maya/Josy threesome at the water park is good, but very short and it's hamstrung by the way their branch is left hanging at the end of the episode. Individually, Josy just gets a quicky in a restroom and Maya gets a drunken romp that would have worked if her high spirits didn't evaporate the next time we see her. Sage has to timeshare with Quinn for (hopefully) the worst threesome in the game. Bella's scene is the only one that really lives up to its potential (plus she gets an encore), but I'm just not into her. I can't take her romance seriously when the MC refuses to ask WTF happened to her marriage.

Jill's scene may have been unambitious, but it did at least stick the landing.

You extol Maya and Josy's threesome at the water park and call Sage and Quinn's the worst of all ?


It was nice to meet you, but you deserve two interludes per chapter

TBH, I lost that fight in my first playthrough. I'm traumatized now. Pls send help

Yeah, Tommy and Sage are a lot tougher than the rest, so it's weird that Chad has any defense against her blows. She had to destroy him.

 

[shazba]

Seriously though. I do like Jill. I was expecting more. She was so passive it was a bit of a buzz-kill. Total 1 out of 5.

1 outta 5!?! That's harsh. I think your pizza treatment was nicer!

Having said that, if it wasn't for Sage confusing the rankings, I'd have said Jill was a 3 outta 5 lay, but Sage throwing around 3s for some marathon fucking (starting in the garden and working around the building back to her room), I don't really know how to score anymore.

From what I've heard, he's got like 8 RTX 3090 graphics cards, so he's not afraid to fork out when he needs it. Electricity costs would be substantial, but maybe he's got 1 system doing the renders and the other 7 are bitcoin mining!

it was her first time, she looked frightened
I don't like the ogre-goblin hybrid either but taking those things into consideration (not that she's an ogre-goblin hybrid) I thought the scene was in line with her character and experience and well done as such

TBH from my work perspective if you plan to consume a lot of cloud resources, on premises option is much cheaper. Cloud is (in almost all cases) easier to manage but definately not cheaper if utilized a lot.

 

[OFT]

Man, you got all that just from the pic?!

All I could think about was WHAT THE HELL IS DPC DOING TO SAGE'S TEETH???????!!!!!!!

Solution: DPC should stop rendering characters with open mouths.

As paranoid as DPC is about peopel "stealing" his renders and "hurting his business" there is no way he will ever Cloud with BaDIK assets. He would gladly fork over half his patreon monies to keep buying new hardware as necessary. He is making more than enough to maintain his PC farm regardless of how expensive electricity and everything else is in Sweden. Here is the breakdown of DPC expenses and where this patreon/steam money is really going:

15% Custom Hentai porn
50% Wife Shopping Trips
20% Hush money to Stockholm stripper with his bastard child
5% Consultation fees to Shazba about how to quietly handle said bastard child
5% Computer hardware & Miscellaneous BaDIK development costs
5% Everything else

 

[Trojaner]

Solution: DPC should stop rendering characters with open mouths.

Better Option: If they open there Mouth just fill em up with an Dick. All would be happy.

or, if he has to, with cocks inside to conceal them
/that pic with a hige black cock inside bella's mouth

 

[LizaS]

Fixed.

My god. I never thought it could be worse!
She looks like a troll now or... Joker with that smile.

The goblin smile add-on is perfectly aligned too! It feels like they're made by the same person.

 

[Rubbishcoder]

What update had the Bella flashback to being in school stuff in it?

 

[shazba]

...5% Consultation fees to Shazba about how to quietly handle said bastard child...

I wish, the stingy fuck pays me in high tier renders... Reckons their worth more than real money.

 

[Skeltom]

Episode 5 after the DIK mansion incident.

Anybody who wants to make money off Bitcoin mining hasn't been using GPUs for at least 5 years now, it's all custom ASIC. A lot of the other fluff coins continue to use them, though, hence the shortages pre-COVID.

If DPC handles things even remotely like I do, it'd be all connected to the same LAN with one central box storing all his posed still/scene setups, and then he'd set up a queue on each of the workstations to render a number of scenes out and let them fly.

So the first misstep, when Jill starts to remove her clothing, the fucking idiot mc is like:

mc: "(What's going on?)"

What's going on with your brain, dickwad? His response should have been (like it was in the mind of every cunt playing this game right then and there):

mc: "(Oh fuck yes!!)"

The mc then, white knight moron that he is, checks to see if Jill is ok going forward. You trying to cockblock yourself or what, Fuckface?! If she had responded, "On second thoughts, maybe this is rushing into things, sorry to interrupt your evening, I'll be going now", there wouldn't be anyone left on this forum to defend Jill, because they all would have killed themselves!

Then the mc is all like:

mc: "Wanna go to bed? "

As cliched a move that it is, it's still a good move.

But her response was funny:

Jill: "Ok."

This moment killed me. It's easy to explain, in Jill's path our Tremolo is a CHICK, an insecure pussy and a soyboy. He can only be like that, otherwise you won't see Jill's cunt. No wonder he reacts so shyly.
In my opinion, Jill's canon path is a romantic story in which MC falls in love with Jill and doesn't see other girls on the way with her. That is, Zoey remains his only sexual partner before Jill. MC looks shocked and doesn't believe this is actually happening. Really CHICK path.
This scene always seems...boring and a little cringy.
