After last week's big report, I haven't got much to add this week.

I've been writing and working on static renders for a couple of tricky scenes with many characters in them. I'm closing in on 3000 renders, and it should be another day or two before I hit that milestone.

I'm currently working on the last free-roam event of the episode. I thought that it wouldn't be the biggest free-roam event of the episode, but comparing the writing to the current biggest one (>1000 renders), they are of similar size. Meaning I'm expecting ~1000 renders in this free-roam event as well, and I'm roughly 200 renders into it.

After I'm done with that event, I have other scenes here and there to make, including lewd scenes, but most of the remaining artwork lies within the free roam event I'm working on.

PC slaves are all rendering animations. 20 animations are in the queue, meaning 6 have been produced since last Friday. This speed is below standard speed because the animations are threesome animations and require a longer time to render.

Since I still have time before I need to make new animations for the render queue, I will continue with static renders next week. I've reached some parts of the episode that I'm particularly excited about creating.

Have a nice weekend

Dr PinkCake

Finally, now we have answer why animations are made so slow?
dalli_x was right, the number of animations done means nothing, as well as their production speed. It all depends on the size of the animation. Threesomes take up more space, are heavier, more complex and take longer to produce. If the last animations are light, then their speed will increase. Moreover, it looks like the DPC will finish static renders earlier in this cycle. This means that it will free up production capacity in September and it will grow even more (assumption).
I still believe in October.

The location at B&R is still a mystery. The "fictional location" (according to the DPC) is New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Seattle, Wisconsin and even Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

on the side note,
is it me or does it occur to everyone.
that no matter when you reject jade she will always end up pissed off and jealous, even if you do that at the first possible choice?

Somehow it give's me creep thinking back to dpc previous installment...
that jade is the bad one...

Its pretty obvious to me that Jade is not a nice woman.

This doesnt mean that she is "bad" though.

If you pursue her, later on there will be the Sex-vid which Stephen Burke is watching. And if i remember correctly, it isnt the one the MC was recording with his phone, its another camera installed in the room... it wouldnt surprise me if Jade knows about that camera.

But nevermind, it doesnt matter if you pursue Jade or not... the outcome will be the same for Maya/Sage/Josy/MC, if i learned one thing about the game, we dont have any real influence on the plot (yet). Only the "reactions" of the people are different. So yeah, maybe it will make a little difference how the scene at the Burkes will play out if you was with Jade or rejected her, but overall, the outcome will be the same... and iam pretty sure, Jade will have the reins in hand here.

If this will be good or bad for Maya... we will see... but yeah, the foreshadowing is not good.

We know that Stephen Burke gives sholarships out for sex. Mona refused, Monas sholarship was erased and she is gone. Quinn, Rio and camilla are in. Sarah and Melanie maybe too (not so sure about that, maybe they are just fucking a little for money). Quinn is the one running the show for Burke. Sage knows shit about that, and yeah she doesnt know anything important... Sage to me is a very very weak president... it sure needs very poor eyes to not notice what Quinn is doing with all the girls.
And the MC doesnt know that either... he knows of the "restaurant" of course, but to the MC its pretty much just money for sex, not some big thing with Burke included, we know more than the MC so far. That he doesnt adress this with Sage is a big upfuck for me... even more so at the end of EP8 when the mc starts a serious relationship with her. My oh my... open your fucking mouth and talk about issues.

Jades role in all this remains to be seen. She knows that Stephen is fucking students... does she know that he is giving sholarships for that too? Dont think so...

Is she using the MC to get back at Stephen? For sure, and thats why i think that she is absolutley aware of the camera, maybe installed it herself to make the vid.

So many times it was questioned why the MC freaked so out at the end with "fuck fuck fuck fuck..." if you not pursue Jade, whats the big deal? Well come on, even the not fully aware MC knows, the Burkes mean bad business... Tybalt alone is a porblem big enough to freak out... seaking out for help from Tybalts family... yeah... thats a damn "fuck" in the making. Jade here or there. There is know way this will go smooth and Maya is happy without any problems... the MC is imediatly aware of that when he sees the pictures of course its a pretty damn big "fuck"

And yeah, Jade is a psycho to me too... and how she treats Tybalt... ugh... we have the option to call her mommy during sex... wouldnt surprise me if she will ask the MC sometime in the future if she can call him tybalt oO

either way, Jade is not a nice person, and a psycho too and she knows some things at least, which she hides but could destroy Stephen with it. Maybe she doesnt do it cause of Tybalt (would have consequences for him too obviously) or yeah... her role in all of this might be bigger than we know.

 

[Darkwen]

hen the MC fucks Josy for the first time in EP7, Josy has applied a cream that runs off easily due to the sperm.

Josy didn't put on cream other then MC cum, that is her sweat besides the lighting in MC room will chance the way they look

 

[icloutshit]

So it finally seems we can start hyping it again what is the collective estimated release date? Late or Early October?

It eluded my attention for a long time and I do not understand how I was blind. Fuck.... Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck....... Fuck
Look at the waiter's eyes. They're completely black, and it's a sinister smile.
There are few goblins, crabs, vampires in the game... And now there is also a demon.



The MC needs a task force of inquisitors, or at least silver. A full-fledged brood of monsters of all kinds in the game.

With its ash stake, it should be quite safe....

Poor Sally. Being used as a human shield every time or being spanked.

 

[Gato21]

Poor Sally. Being used as a human shield every time or being spanked.

The spanking part she might even enjoy. DPC not using that as an exposé that she is, in fact, a masochist? I don't think so.

 

[Darkwen]

This has nothing to do with lighting and a dark room.

It does matter in the in sex scene 1 for EP7 because of the way the light hits the sweat on Josy. I don't know what the sweater pic's have to do with Josy using some kind of cream she got from a brainless slut

Case and point Josy is clearly sweating and look at how the light hits it

 

[Sasanid]

Sally, to me, is kind of 'tongue-in-cheek' character, not a joke like Arieth/Dawe, but more like the kinky intellectual with a near loli body. But yeah, she may be a masochist too, or at the very least very kinky, and absolutely frustrated with Magnar who doesn't seem to care about going physical with her.

She's got an oily sunscreen, that's all.

Maybe Sally has a BDSM set in her closet? We'll see

Why do you got to do me like this? I got to go take a cold shower.

I believe you are mistaken about the video. Burke never gets the video unless you tell/show Derek you banged Jade, which gets your video added to the DIK's laptop collection. As demonstrated earlier, the laptop is not secured adequately. They have a mole.

The laptop being found in the old library, and seeing someone lurking behind the tarp later when the MC is sleeping, wonder if it's Vinny who's taking liberties around the mansion, would fit with the whole HOTs prostitution/drugs/Burkes thing going on.

Yes, Josy is sweating. Nevertheless, her skin tone is much lighter than later. Sweating does not make the skin darker, but rather lighter, because the little light would be reflected even more.

In my example, the sweater makes it clear that Josy has two faces. These two images are one and the same scene with two different Josys. One lighter Josy and one darker Josy. Ergo, it was decided that we see either the lighter Josy or the darker Josy.

The same thing happens in the whole sex scene of EP7 that you show us. The MC can fuck Josy whether he is in the throuple relationship or not. Ergo, the decision of EP4 is important because the MC either fucks the Josy from the friendship path or the one from the throuple. Since there is one and the same scene for both paths, DPC took the trouble to give us some clues. That we can have Josy in two different paths and alternate between the light and dark Josy during the sex scene.

To make it more understandable for you, here are two more pictures. Picture 1 shows a normal light Josy and picture 2 shows us an artificially tanned Josy. Now I don't want to start talking about exposure, sweating or anything like that, because Josy's legs are right next to each other and exposed to the same light coming from above, as you can see from the reflections of the legs. So there would be approximately the same shadow as well.

DPC has left itself or us a clue as to what game decisions can do when it comes to relationships.

Light Josy = group of three
Dark Josy = solo or friendship path.

And these two different paths also have different effects, which could result in a Crabs infested Josy because the MC is only friends with her and thus there is then no NTR.

Just to have said it... I always had the gut feeling that the MC will die at the end of the game
The start of the game already gave me that vibe.... kinda like the movie "American Beauty"

When the protagonist starts to tell the story with lines like this : "Even if you lose your family or if your family loses you..."
and than... "As for now? Let me tell you what happened"

It is really like in these movies or books where the protagonist tells the story but its like a look back on his life which is now ending...

And i dont know... yeah BeingADik is completely different to Acting Lesson AND way more lighthearted and funny overall. DPC himself made it clear that this will not go THAT dark like AL... but... well... i dont trust him one bit

Just a gut feeling... but in some years we maybe come back and my gut feeling was right about that

Just to add to this, currently replaying and got to Ep3 scene with Bella...

"At the time I couldn't understand Bella.
The attraction was there, but for her it felt so wrong.
I remember feeling bad about kissing a married woman.
I figured she felt the same since she was being unfaithful to her husband...
...which, of course, is a very big deal.
But if I had known the real reasons to her tears...
...and to her persona...
I wouldn't have kissed her that night.
I would have called for help."

Never really paid attention to all of that, to be honest.

But yeah, it's clearly in the past.

(and now Bella scares me even more)

Sally, to me, is kind of 'tongue-in-cheek' character, not a joke like Arieth/Dawe, but more like the kinky intellectual with a near loli body. But yeah, she may be a masochist too, or at the very least very kinky, and absolutely frustrated with Magnar who doesn't seem to care about going physical with her.

The Arieth/Dawe stuff always makes me laugh. I saw someone post in the past that Dawe is actually the name of a 3D artist who is a friend/supporter of DPC and is the person who created Arieth model and allowed DPC to use her in game. If all of that is true then damn. What does DPC do to return the favour? He creates an annoying, stupid, small penised, closet homosexual Dawe who is getting cucked by almost every dude at B&R and makes the artist's beloved 3D creation, Arieth, an imbecilic whore with one of the nastiest STIs. If this is how DPC treats friends, what does he do to enemies (who share his renders and 'hurt his business' )? That shit is cold-blooded. Funny as hell but cold-blooded.

I'm just surprised DPC hasn't had Dawe's mom (got to be the gym receptionist) spread her legs for the MC yet to really twist the knife into his "friend."

I believe you are mistaken about the video. Burke never gets the video unless you tell/show Derek you banged Jade, which gets your video added to the DIK's laptop collection. As demonstrated earlier, the laptop is not secured adequately. They have a mole.

ok have to play that again... if its the same camera angle like on the phone, than its obviously the same vid. But i think the angle of the vid that Stephen watches is way higher and not possible to do with the phone in hand. But yeah, i will replay that...

For the mole... i always thaught it was one of the DIKs or an ex-DIK with the cathy cluck. So yeah, Vinny is a good guess here, or i would go with Nick, they were maggot brothers and so on... and of course its no coincidence that the laptop was in the library. My bet? Nick left it there for vinny, nick saw the cluck, wanted to return the laptop before anyone else found it, but wasnt fast enough cause Rusty got it before him... and thats why nick was in the library as the MC walked in. But learing from the game so far... its maybe TOO obvious

Regarding the sex-vid, the timing doesnt fit... the cathy cluck was in episode 4, BEFORE the sex with Jade, after the cluck Rusty secured the laptop, and no DIK besides MC, Tommy and Rusty have access anymore to the overall DIK files and dont know the password for the files... (and please, dont say anything about hacking ect... the game will not go that deep that there is anyone able to hack the files) The DIKs now can only see their personal files... Only Rusty, Tommy and MC can see more... so if somebody has given the video to Burke... it has to be either tommy or Rusty, and nah i dont think so.

Well nothing is for sure... we have to wait until its revealed what happened...

Either way, the sex-video will not be that important, cause its a variable thing in the game... events that will influence the mainplots will not be a variable thing, cause this would be way too much branching ahead.
