VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Chillout1984]

I wonder why he's doling out 4K previews now (not that I'm complaining). Maybe he decided it was pointless to only have the special renders be 4K and in-game renders at a measly HD resolution?

I only wonder what this will do to the game size if all ingame renders (including animations) are in 4k, especially considering a 4k image is about 4 times the size in MB.

Start saving up your $$$ boys and girls! Soon to be taking pre-orders: special dedicated BaDIK 30 TB external hard drives specially engraved and embossed with your favorite characters from the game. Formatted specifically for storing and playing Being A DIK! When fully complete, will comfortably contain all 27 TB of BaDIK goodness (including all special 4K renders and never before seen work file images and character design posters). Don’t be a dick, get yours today!
This is complete parody and satire and not to be taken seriously. Even if it does sound mildly awesome or plausible.

Derek is a Grinch.

So we can agree that a severed finger will teach Derek not to be so frivolous and to turn on his brain before doing something... Who am I kidding? Of course not.

This is the DPC universe, the only characters that have evolution and development arcs are the main girls and some secondary ones.

The more sex, the more character development Unless you're Cammy, Sarah or Mel

The average 4k renders I made are around 3mb, the 1080p variations (with light post processing) are around 400kb, so using linear interpretation (which isn't the best method admittedly), Episode 11's renders which are around 3.78gb would be roughly 28gb

He's probably sharing raw renders from the renderfarm. As far as I'm aware, most devs render at 4k, then downsample to 1080p as 4k downsampling retains better quality than native 1080p

The best thing about Camila, Sarah and Mel is the absence of drama.

Wow, that is a lot smaller than the answers I get from Google, that say the average 4k size in 3840x2160 pixel is about 24 MB, and that 1 minute of animation in 4k for consumer use will be around 375 MB.

I really hope DPC will get about the same renders as you, otherwise I'm afraid episode 12 will be at least 40 gb lol.That would be no problem on Steam, but a lot more difficult through filesharing websites.

Lol... I wonder if Camila will become a "soldier" for Riona xD
But I do agree, although they have some drama in this franchise, it is currently much less than most of the other characters we've met so far.

I know, but he's traditionally shared the in-game previews at 1080 before now. Just curious what changed his mind. Having the entire game be 4K is insane, one would be stupid for thinking so

Not for long

And the time development, it is evolved too

Don't expect 4k renders in the final release, I personally can't remember one VN that's actually done it. It's not worth it when most users will be on 1080p monitors or laptops or so on.

For photography, yeah the file size will be a lot more, for digital image, file formats such as png or jpg have compression that massively condenses the files down

Ahh fair enough. If he ends up putting our 4k renders, I think it'd up going down worse than the 60fps animations lmao

4K 60FPS minute long cutscene of Zoey running through the forest

I would be fine with seeing that, as long as she's hunted and in the end brought down by a murderer

For some people, 'stupid' is their comfort zone.

I don't know, but we probably won't see that until season 4.

Why ruin the best side hoes in the game?

Comfort zone? I was thinking birthplace

 

[Better Cock Spock]

Why ruin the best side hoes in the game?

I've been wanting to date Cammy for forever goddamn it And Mel is getting sweeter and sweeter on MC, gotta get into that

Sarah could remain a pure fuckbuddy, but I wouldn't complain if she got some more too

 

[MiltonPowers]

Mel is so much more than a side hoe.
