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

[rocopc]

On that note, which paths are you guys most eager to see first?

For me its
1- Sage
2- Others (Quinn Cami Envy and Lilly)
3- M&J
4- Bella
5- Jill (sorry but its the most boring path so far for me...)


Dont count Zoey just yet.... not so clear to be a path at least for me

 

[Lostanddamned]

An hour each run? Are you suggesting that as an average after skipping through seen text on subsequent runs? I’m guessing the first run will be close to 6-10 hours!

If you’re gonna skip through seen text for the rest then they take minutes, but given how long the wait will be until the next episode, why not play each path correctly, and pace yourself?

I know I’m gonna play the first run pretty quickly, after which there’s no mad rush to get through all the other paths.

On that note, which paths are you guys most eager to see first?

Mine would be:

1. Quinn
2. Jill
3. M&J
4. Sage
5. Bella

That’s not necessarily my preference for LI, but the order that I’m curious to see where things are headed.

1. Bella, obviously - The Goddess
2. Sage
3. Others (Camila, Riona, Nicole, Nora, hopefully Bianca)
4. M&J
5. Jill

reflecting in general

I see that many have put Quinn, but what do you expect might happen for her story?

I agree that the absence from the previews is not significant, but other than her involvement in organizing the Halloween party there are no elements that bring her up in any significant way.

on the other hand i understand those who talk about M&J, assuming the meeting with Burke is somehow significant (i don't believe it at all) it could mark the beginning of the solo routes. beyond that there will still be the moment of MC's declaration of them and hopefully the real beginning of the trouple.

I'm most excited for my M&J/throuple run. I spent all of season 2 waiting for a genuine threesome and if it doesn't happen in episode 9, I'm gonna blubber like a baby. After that, probably most interested in my Quinn/others run, then Sage, followed by Bella and Jill. I really love all the love interests, so my order is based more on fappability than anything else.

 

[ffive]

I like to keep things simple.

(for other paths, can live vicariously through inevitable gnashing of teeth in this thread once the next episode gets released)

 

[dalli_x]

My list.

1. Josy and Maya
2. Josy and Maya with Zoey
3. Josy and Maya with Zoey and Sage
4. Josy and Maya with Zoey and Sage, plus Melanie
5. Josy and Maya with Zoey and Sage, plus Melanie with Elena and John
6. Josy and Maya with Zoey and Sage, plus Melanie with Elena and John, but without Derek because he has to impregnate Wendy

Hots and Sides

Sage, Hots and Sides (i chose sage at the end of EP 8)

Sage

Josy and Maya

Bella

Jill

Jill and Bella (just to see the result of the "betrayal")

Josy

Maya

Zoey, hots and sides

Zoey

Tybalt, Jade+Video (I did everything bad for tybalt, I fucked sage, I fucked jade. I chose "other girls=Jade" at the end of EP 8, and the video leaked)

Tybalt, Sage+Video (I did everything bad for tybalt, I fucked sage, I fucked jade. I chose Sage at the end of EP 8, and the video leaked)

Some of these paths are just to see specific things that might be funny, or might turn out to be some shit. And it's not in order of preference for girls, just in order of "fun"

Here's an attempt at a status update to give you some stats as I wanted for Friday.
Work completed:

• 3652 renders (3569 produced and 83 in the render queue)
• 211 animations (201 animations produced, 10 in the render queue)
• 22 songs

Work that remains:

• 8 scenes left to write
• 50 scenes left to pose art for (~1000 more static renders)
• 3-4 lewd scenes to make animations for (<100 animations)
• Make some missing GUI for the new mini-game.
• Write some code needed for other mini-games.
• Add music (almost done)
• Add SFX (almost done)
• Rooster (90% done)
• Other phone content (Phone chats/Calls, Bios, Stats, Pack Quest, Vault)
• Collectibles (special renders/2D art/scenes) - Only testing remains
• Playtest and polish
• Verify bug fixes from the Interlude.

Overall completion:
My best shot at estimating a completion % right now is:
Static renders: 79%
Animations: 70% (based on animation count, not duration. The longest animations are almost done, so this number should increase faster from now on.)
Writing/Coding: 95%
Render and animation numbers are based on a target of ~4652 renders and 300 animations; subject to change if needed.
The writing/coding percentage is my gut feeling.
Further insight:
Lately, I've done most of Rooster, the main menu art, Jill's special render set, and placement of magazines/unlockables. These tasks require a lot from me, and I'm happy I'm close to done with all of them.
Long animations have been rendering for the last month, and I haven't been animating a lot which is why this count isn't much bigger than the last report I did.
The longest animation I've done to date has almost been completely rendered. It's currently 1 minute 16 seconds (2281 renders) long. It needs a few more hundreds of renders before PCs are freed up for other animations; this should happen before next Friday.
Threesome animations are still in the render queue and have been there for the last two months. They take a very long time to render but are worth it.
I will have a split focus on renders and animations in the upcoming weeks.
I hope you had a nice weekend! I'm still a bit tired, but I've rested and am fit to work again.
Thanks again for your amazing support. I couldn't ask for a better community.

Sheesh, I stop paying attention to this thread to play CoBD and DPC releases an out-of-schedule update on me! And it has numbers! So my much for my cynically assuming I had a whole week to prepare.

Anyway, we got a lot of info. DPC has completed 496 static renders in the last 23 days (an average of ~151 renders per week), and 16 animations in the last 30 days, an average of ~3.7 animations per week. Overall, DPC is now averaging roughly 136 statics and 7.6 animations per week since the Interlude launched. We also have new target numbers: 4652 statics (up by ~500 since last estimate) and 300 animations (nearly even with the last estimate). We even learned that DPC's animations apparently run at 30 frames per second, though that tidbit is not especially informative at the moment. Anyway, let's plug all of this into our charts (and normalize them for the sneaky non-Friday release) and see what we get:

Spoiler: Numbers Dead Ahead! Chart! Chart!! Chart!!!

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

As you can see, the bad news is that we're still waiting for the slow animations to clear the queue; until that happens our trendlines are going to be hopeless pessimistic. The good news is that should change next week (assuming we get new numbers), though with the threesomes animations queued it's not clear how big a bump that would give us. So we'll have to estimate: if we assume DPC will resume his overall average rate of ~7.6/week starting next Friday, he'd hit the target around November 30; if we assume he'll match his highest speed from this cycle (10/week), he'd finish around November 9; if he pulls out all the stops and matches his highest confirmed rate (17/week during Episode 7) then he should be finished with animations by mid-October. The actual results should fall somewhere within that zone.

Personally, I don't think 17/week is plausible if there are still complex renders in the queue, so we're probably looking more in the 9-13/week range. That translates between lateish-October and mid-November. That would synch up with the time needed to hit the new static render targets, and I suspect also give DPC enough time to finish all the writing/programming tasks as well. If we add two weeks for beta testing, I'd expect to see the launch in somewhere between the middle and end of November. DPC might be able to shave that back to early November is things break our way, but I think it would take a miracle to get things finished in time for an October release (unless DPC trims back on the targets, of course).

So we are finally seeing signs of the finish line, but we're definitely not in the home stretch yet.

I see that many have put Quinn, but what do you expect might happen for her story?

I'm just doing my diligent study to have more points to thrash her in the main thread, as usual

For me it's M&J by a mile. They're not only my favorites, but they were the ones left hanging the most at the end of Episode 8 - the MC still hasn't actually told them he wants to be exclusive!

I feel like the throuple was stuck in limbo for Season 2; we get some timid threesomes and some excellent scenes with the individual girls, but the actual relationship is somehow less developed than it appeared to be when it began in Episode 4. If Episode 9 doesn't finally develop the relationship between the three of them I really will lose my mind, Halloween party be damned.

So yeah, Maya/Josy first. After that it will probably depend on what seems like it will be the most interesting content based on the initial run.

 

[Lightaces]

They have no creativity. They should ask me for ideas. Custom render number one for me would be....

Location: Tyballz room
People: MC, Jill and Tyballz
What's happening?: MC is fucking Jill doggy style on Tyballz bed while eating his watermelon. Tyballz enters the room with a shocked look on his face.

I wish some of these people are as fucked in the head as I am....

Or pulling a reverse train with Jade, Sage, and Jill on Tyballs' bed, and when Ty comes in the room you pull out of his mom's ass and cum on all his liquor bottles (from the bed, because our boy can shoot for distance AND accuracy), and then invite the ladies back to Jill's room for round two! On your way out, you make sure to lean in and let Gap-Tooth-Boy know he's gonna have a new brother and a new nephew, in 9 months, but you'll see if Jill is OK with him being "godfather to our daughter!"

Most hated minigame, anyone? For me, it's fucking pancakes. My ass is burning from this. No matter how much I try - 600 points for achievement in Steam seems impossible. This is crap, and also a stupid puzzle. Are there mini-games that annoy you?

This is fan dedication taken to an entirely different level. My man is out here calculating projections, and making charts. I bow before you.

not so much annoyed with the minigame itself but rather pissed about the whole ordeal of spending the night at bella's and being forced to sit by the pool, have breakfast, talk about dumb shit with jill and bella I don't really care about
oh and yoga. just why :|
as if it's not enough I had to play shitty tennis with them

now that I think about it... this might be why I don't really like jill

Yes, this line in Episode 5 is for fans of Jill or Bella, because for the whole event you can earn several +RP for each of them. Everyone has their own tastes, but for me, after the preps party this part is rather boring.

I have a better one

Quinn, MC and some ramdon guy

Quinn fucking the random guy while the MC looks at her with teary eyes and Quinn says "You thought you were special? So lame are you? lol"

Who's with me? I know everyone but there are no balls to accept it

This is a rather strange fantasy, considering that you told how you yourself suffered from a cheating girl.
