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

[AchedCroissant]

Oh god here we go again

 

[TrainHardnett]

Somehow I doubt it's that big. If there were ten PCs just for rendering videos the updates wouldn't take half a year, give or take.

I think you are underestimating the length of time it takes for a 1 second of animation to be rendered. Even professional VFX studios with massive render farms take months to animate a scene and they have hundreds of PCs doing them.

 

[sixart]

Three and a half months wasted only to deliver half of the content that we can find in Episode 3 with the same time of developement invested

???

Seems like folks nowadays assume the role of DPC and tell it straight it was a waste of time... and I stupid fuck thought this was DPC-s story to tell and the way he saw it fit... Ehh I was wrong before... what's one or two more ?

And now he should add more personel to his own project !!! Randos nowadays...

 

[thorin0815]

MMF threesome with Sage please.

Sage+MC+Chad train?

 

[Bendover885]

Sage+MC+Chad train?

In whom would Chad show more interest in this scenario? Yeah, no thanks.

 

[lipe2410]

In whom would Chad so more interest in this scenario?

Sage with a strap-on

 

[Bendover885]

Sage with a strap-on

Yeah, not for me. You do you though.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Threesome scene is MC+Elena+JB. Possibly

Threesome scene is MC+Elena+JB. Possibly

Would be nice but I don't think there's gonna be a scene where you " co-operate " with someone in copulation process

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Would be nice but I don't there's gonna be a scene where you " co-operate " with someone in copulation process

May be. It would be nice to break this system and add an MFM threesome.

 

[Laport Deminis]

MMF threesome with Sage please.

Come on Megaclawe, don't go vanilla. MHF better. MC-Horse-Sage.

Jokes aside, a lot of people seems to like the idea of having sex with JB. Nice to see so many open minds. Personally I think it's going to be two MFF. From most probable to less here are my guesse:

-Mel-Sarah
-Two vixens
-1 vixen plus 1 of the already done of the Becky group.
-Maya-Josy
-Lily-Envy

 

[Blueray]

Well thy be doing a new Update this month or next month ?

 

[sixart]

Well thy be doing a new Update this month or next month ?

In a couple of hours dude...

 

[Darkwen]

In a couple of hours dude...

I thought it was tomorrow

 

[sixart]

I thought it was tomorrow

Which will be in a couple of hours !

I've been working on static renders and free roam events all week; I also did some environment design for a scene.

I'm currently working on a scene with 8+ characters that's taking quite a bit of time to pose. But the renders are coming out looking good, leaving me feeling it was worth the effort.

What I like about this episode, in general, are the renders that have many characters in them. They bring a lot of life to the scenes, and despite the scenes being tricky to create and render, I'm having a blast making them.

One PC renders static renders whenever I'm not using it for work; the PC slaves are all rendering animations.

The animation queue is still fairly big 30-40 animations waiting to render.

I think I have 80-150 animations left to pose. Those animations are split over 4-5 lewd scenes (including another threesome) and some SFW animations.

I realize that 80-150 is a rather big interval for a ballpark number, but it's the best I can estimate now.

Including what's in the render queue, the current render count is just over 2200.

I will continue working on static renders in the upcoming week.

Have a nice weekend

Hey everybody, it's time to play forensic statistician again!

DPC has completed something on the order of just over 180 static renders this week. Alas, animation counts are a rare so we don't know those, but we know we were at 150 last week and we've been averaging 9-10 for the last month, so we're probably around 160 animations now. Assuming those numbers are correct, DPC is currently averaging roughly 122 statics and 8.9 animations per week overall since the Interlude launched. More interestingly, we learned the animation queue is 30-40 animations and DPC estimates there are approximately 80-150 animations left to pose. That suggests there are ~110-190 animations to go, which in turn implies there will be 260-350 animations total in Episode 9. This is significant because it's roughly a 20% increase over our previous total animation estimates.

Everybody follow that? Good, here are the charts:

Spoiler: Another Chart Down, Many More to Go

As you can see, this jump in expected animations is adding ~5 weeks to the production time. As of right now, I'd say we're looking at a late October release, though we could be a month early or late based purely on the uncertainty in DPC's animation estimates. In other words, expect Episode 8 in the October-December timeframe.

This is all very speculative, obviously, so take it with plenty of salt. Still, animation render rate is fairly consistent (since DPC nearly always has a queue to churn through), so I think it really will come down to how many animations DPC needs. I'm reluctant to bet on DPC restraining himself, but I still think DPC will eventually cut bait when he realizes how long this is taking. So my guess is we're more likely to hit October than December, but I'm not putting any money on October vs November. One way or another, we're definitely still a long way off.

Well, one minor positive, last week he said 45 animations were queued. With 30-40 left i'll presume he made 10 again, as with the last few weeks. What's positive you ask? He's finally crossed the episode 5 total of 157. That said episode 5 was made before the 30 series Nvidea cards so he's massivly behind the more recent episodes.



As for stills a worse picture. He's beind all of the season two episodes. At this point in production Episode 8 had 2870, Ep 7 had 3660, Ep 6 had 3105 and 5 had 2456, a total it reached a week earlier. Episode 9 only has 2200 (and some of them are still in the queue )



Compared with episode 8 at the same point of production he is making 36 stills less a week and exactly 4 animations a week fewer (8.42105263 to 12.42105263).

With somewhere between 115 and 185 animations to make and render at the current average that would take anywhere between 14 weeks and 22 weeks. That's the 14th October to the 9th December. Presuming a total of stills between episode 7 and 8 of 4000, that's 1800 left and on the current average, that's 16 weeks or 28th October.

If he somehow manges to produce the remaining content with an average production speed that matches epsode 8's overall average we're talking 9 weeks for low end animation count or 9th September, or 14th October for high end animation estimate. Stills could be done around September 30th (Once animations are rendered stills production could go faster).

So release estimations after beta testing go all the way from late September to Christmas. Chance of a summer release is gone IMO. Slim chance of September with October and November now being the most likely time frames. Not sure what has slowed him down so much this time, but something has.

 

[sixart]

Jesus Fucking Christ I must be some goddamn genius ! I dropped October 28 on the 25th of February without any of this ^

 

[Deleted member 1838060]

My first pick for a threesome that the MC has not had yet, of course would be Jill and Bella. DPC already has a preview in Mixed Rewards

or Jade/Sage

of course MC has already had quiet a few threesomes with the hots and strippers.
maya/Josey -- Quinn/Riona -- Riona/Camila -- Sage/Quinn -- Camila/Mona -- Envy/Sandy

prob. missing a few.

I'm curious what slowed it as well. Usually when you find a workflow that works for you, you tend to stick with it. Taking that and the fact that it seems like the episodes are getting bigger, it has me worried about the long term effects it will have on the development time. I'm a patient man but if it turns into something like one episode a year I personally don't think I'll stick with this one. I would lose almost all interest in what's happening being so far apart. It's unlikely now but trends are going up is all I'm saying.
