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

[legend_shon]

Very unlikely with the amount of work he's completed so far. Let's look at the Status Update from two weeks ago:

The overall progress of episode 12 development at the moment is the following.

• Static renders are probably around 30-35% done for the episode.
• Posed animations are higher and estimated at 40-45%.
• I have barely started with music and sound effects work; it will wait for later.

The good thing is that almost half of the animations are done. Since those seem to be more time-consuming, catching up with static renders should technically be faster + he just upgraded another slave rig. As long as he doesn't use those upgraded PCs to just chuck out filler content, maaaybe we could see a Summer 2026 update. Some of the music will surely be reused and it's probably not gonna take considerably long to select and implement OST/effects into the scenes.

At this point, if nothing goes (horribly) wrong, I think June-August Patreon release is possible, even if a little overly optimistic. There's a lot of opinions that since approximately 1/3rd of content was completed in 6 months, the rest will take another 12 months. What we don't take into account is the complexity of the scenes/renders. There will be different posing/rendering times for:

Spoiler: simple scenes like this

and

Spoiler: bloated scenes such as this one

So, as always, we can only speculate with limited amount of information we get from Pink, but I remember him mentioning in a couple of Status Updates for E12 that he focused quite a bit on more complicated/longer scenes already, so the amount of work (not just pure % of renders completed) he has already done might not be at 33%, but maybe 40 or even 50. If he already managed to tackle a big part of longer/crowded scenes, the rest should be faster to pose and render.

Now I'm not sure why I included the graph if I didn't even refer to it

 

[Better Cock Spock]

For those interested, MOST of the questions are ready so I will give a tentative release date of Wednesday 1 October for my 5th (and possibly final) poll!

Obviously this date is subject to change if I am unsatisfied with any of my questions but I will still be keeping an eye on the thread for ideas to steal

For those not interested, here's a Sage pic

Here's a question no one but me cares about: will we learn Bella's maiden name?

Philip refers to her as Mrs. Roberts, so unless she didn't take James' surname, it's gotta be something else. I'm leaning towards one that is Italian-sounding but that's just me.

Somehow, I don't think that's it

Isabella "Better Cock" Roberts? Isabella Sofia Brigida Roberts?
...Rupert? I'm just messing with ya!

I like that second one, since that's the comparison I usually make.

 

[HOBGTG]

Could her last name related to her eyes? Sky, sea or ocean? Her last name could be in Spanish or Italian if not in English.

 

[Sick Bubblegum]

The name Brigida means "exalted one" or "strength" and has both Irish and Latin origins, derived from the Celtic goddess Brigid.
Brígida" is the Spanish spelling for the name Bridget.

Did you get through happy banana time? I’m just now starting on chapter 3 “100%” on my rebuild run. I’m playing slow and rereading this time. There have been a couple things so far that I didn’t remember, at all!

No not yet, busy cleaning and shit. Technically I already have a Jill run in the can, it just happens to be a Jill/Bella one

Not to be confused with the Bella/Jill run!

 

[Redds667]

Can I be considered an asshole for not being the least bit surprised to find out that Riona didn't have a father present in her life?

Or ice?

I have zero understanding of Italian and Spanish so I have no idea if these are actual last names, but just translated by google:

Italian:

Isabella Ghiaccio (Ice)
Isabella Nevicare (Snow)
Isabella Cielo (Sky)
Isabella Mare (Sea)
Isabella Oceano (Ocean)

Spanish:

Isabella Hielo (Ice)
Isabella Nieve (Snow)
Isabella Cielo (Sky)
Isabella Mar (Sea)
Isabella Océano (Ocean)

Some of them do roll off the tongue, but I got my favourite when I reversed my thinking:

Isabella Caliente

Caliente: adjective, Spanish

hot, warm, heated, horny, randy, spirited

I swear it's not because of the double intender!

I mean, it doesn't have to be the literal words, could be names that mean said words, or invoke them. And as much as she is caliente, Isabella Caliente sounds like a Sims pre-made character

I think names invoking those things require more than zero understanding of the languages so I can't really contribute there.

How about Isabella D'Amore, while obvious but still nice

I actually had a similar thought process and gave her, in my own head at least, a maiden name. Isabella Neve, though before the introduction of Bianca, it was Isabella Blanca(with an L), but that got too confusing after episode 7. Notice the names I chose have a relation to her ice queen demeanor

 

[EEMNHMQI]

Spanish:

Isabella Hielo (Ice)
Isabella Nieve (Snow)
Isabella Cielo (Sky)
Isabella Mar (Sea)
Isabella Océano (Ocean)

Only "Nieve" might work, although I've only seen "Nievas" as a surname. Like, I don't think it exists. Only "variants" or "a variant" if you could call it that.
