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

[palmtrees89]

I've been one of DPC's staunchest defenders in the past (especially in the build up to ep 9), however this cycle has clearly had DPC extending the wait. Back in August/September he spent a week doing nothing except polishing a playthrough he had just tested. That's something he usually leaves to the end of development as he waits for animations to complete (which is exactly what he is doing now), so there was absolutely no reason to take a week out of development to polish that playthrough that early (he made no mention of rendering, coding or posing happening that week). And of course there's the switch to 60 FPS which offers a minimal improvement to the game, but could actually cause a lot of people with poor equipment to be unable to play the animations properly.

Meanwhile, my ass over here following developers who release 300 renders in 11 months compared to the 2 months they needed for that exact same amount of content 5 years ago.

A week doing nothing, oh hell no! I'm sorry, not trying to meme on your post, but y'all have no idea how good you have it with DPC if you ask me. lol

Doesn't mean I disagree with the 60fps animations. That one certainly is a waste of time.

This is precisely the consequence of his confusion with the script, which I've already mentioned several times. He spent 2 weeks after his vacation trying to figure out his flowchart, which probably has so many variables, choices and consequences that it took him so long to understand. Also by DPС's own admission it was only when he reached about 70-80% of development that he was able to figure out what he wanted.
This guy has a completely wrong and chaotic approach to scripting. I would suggest him to use classical script writing instead of chaotic flowchart and follow it only, it will firstly help him to avoid plot bloopers and inconsistencies and secondly it will save him a lot of time.

Derek as my veep? Fuck that. I'd take Jam Jam over him.

 

[Orgitas]

I love ma boi, Derek. But hell no to the Veep position for him. If I were Prez i'd want some one who was competent and trustworthy.

Jam Jam being as stupid as he is, is a better choice. I'd probably end up kicking Derek out. Nah. Not really.

Going from Tommy to Derek as Vice



Jacob would be my choice. Maya doesn't fit as President for the HOTs, has to be Josy with Camila

Agreed. As it stands, Jacob is the only real choice for VP. He's the most mature and levelheaded of the bunch and the only one shown in game thinking about long-term consequences. On multiple occasions, in fact: stopping MC from banging Sage on the couch at the party, using his one and only secret code to either keep the Jade sex tape from getting out or to protect Derek's reputation. Pretty sure there was another thing too, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

True. But if he ends up with Zoey, I'd be an even bigger DiK and toss him out. Sorry, Jacob.

Jar Jar Binks was a general that helped defeat the trade federation but when he was promoted to the position of Senator for Naboo... He helped hand emergency powers to Palpatine effectively starting his dictatorship. Derek is Jar Jar Binks

No! Derek is nothing like Jar Jar Binks, people actually like Derek, no one likes Jar Jar Binks.

 

[gamingdevil800]

Jar Jar Binks is a loved character especially among children. His stupidity does not detract from his general love from the fanbase. Much like Derek who is loveable idiot... With the sequel trilogy too Jar Jar's prominence was only raised further thanks to darth Jar Jar memes raising his profile and general love for the character

Jar Jar was a representative not a Senator so really he more like the guy following Rio

I guess I'm a child. Jar Jar was the only redeeming part in those "Wish I was a Star Wars movies". Yeah. I'm old and the only Star Wars movies was the original 3. Can't change my mind on that.

after Padme death he did, Derek is what you get if Jar Jar and Yoda had a baby
