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

[ProxyGist]

I think most of your complaints are BS. Daz has particle effects now and your claim about fully customizing materials is vague but strange when the app supports custom shaders. Not sure why you wouldn't be able to do a dancing animation, just open up the timeline and start moving limbs - no sane person would start doing it in a game based primarily on still render, though (which of course means that DPC will do it for season 11).

It's a poorly documented and definitely, in its core, aging piece of software, but it is surprisingly robust when you start working with it.

Are you sure you want me to keep going?
DAZ sucks and it will lose to any 3D program.

I don't understand why you would react the way you did. DAZ is probably a good program for a narrow set of tasks like simple posing, but that's where its advantages end. And besides, where did I say anything wrong? Well, by the way, I didn't know that DAZ has particles, but it doesn't change anything because in any program simulations are more complex and progressive.
Besides, it's obvious to everyone that the program is not evolving. Blender every year adds a lot of new features and capabilities, there is an opportunity to add quality addons that simplify the development process, but none of this is in DAZ. This program lives thanks to a huge store.

did Riona also have a change in her hairstyle? i hadn't noticed that to be honest. from chapter 7 onward (apart from the scene where with Quinn they catch Sage and MC) she seemed greatly improved in her face and expressiveness, before she had always seemed rather "basic" to me

Ok bro, let's play nostradamus. Which of the 4 things will happen in Episode 10.

1. Tommy finds out about the MC & Josy.
2. Maya's Tuition storyline finishes.
3. Quinn will say "I really like you" to the MC.
4. Bella gets in trouble for dating the MC.

Im gonna go nuts and predict.

1. No
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. No

Have I missed something or 1. already happened ?

4. No

1. Yes. If you're on her path.
2. No. Probably ep12 for that.
3. No. If on her path she'll say some dumb shit like: "You know how I feel, so fuck off."
4. No. Dpc will stretch that out until ep14.

I'm not Nostradamus and don't hold me to any of these predictions, even if I'm right.

 

[TimHawk]

Are you referring to the "cliffhanger" with Maya and Josy coming out of the hallway that leads to the MC's room ?

If yes, then maybe you missed that Tommy asked the MC at the start of the party to look after Josy, so DPC disarmed that bomb right at the start. Tommy also doesn't know that Josy and Maya are an item and so far none of the cliffhangers have lead to something big happening (Jade being Sage's mom, Chad being gay and so on and on).

It's why I don't believe anything will happen, it's a twofer, not only would Tommy find out about the MC banging Josy, Josy and Maya would also come out as being bi.

If something does come of it, I would be a) surprised and b) impressed that DPC upped his cliffhanger game.

At first glance I didn't recognize her as Sage

Really, my eyes went straight to her rack. So instant recognision for me.

Yeah, I’m waiting for the part where you show me it can’t do it, not some Maya showreel.

I mean...the cliffhanger from ep. 9 could be a red herring but hasn't the 1st one already essentially happened? There aren't exactly that many rooms they could have come from walking through that door and Josy is naked as well, so 1st should be a definite yes.

2nd: no
3rd: could be...the others ending of ep. 9 really went pretty far with her, so I go with a reluctant "yes" for this one.
4th: Hard to tell...so far only Nick fully knows, even if some of the others might suspect something. There could be happening something in ep. 10, but I think it's a bit too early for that, so I go with a "no".

 

[ProxyGist]

Can you do a rain or smoke simulation in DAZ? Or make a procedural simulation of snowflake formation like in some Houdini?
Animation, posing, rendering can be done in DAZ. I don't know what you're arguing with me about.

Just explained why I said no to 1. a few posts up. Logically you are right, but it's ... DPC.

if MC manages to hide his relationship with Josy from Tommy after she has left his room (for the second time, but the first time it was witnessed by the reliable DIKs who would never let it slip away...) I will stop worrying about any possible twist

 

[funkymonkeyjedi]

Ada? Only Ada I know is ResEvil Ada.

LMAO
My bad I keep calling her Ada, but it's Ida...

Well to be fair, they came out of a hallway that leads to more than just the MC's room, the cinema for example and they could claim they didn't wanna go home and just crashed there. What really hurts that story is that the MC comes out of the hallway right after.

I don't know...could he do that? Yes, but why would he? If he puts a bunch of cliffhangers into the episodes that lead nowhere, people will just start to ignore them. So this should have ramifications and why shouldn't have them? It would be a good opener to the episode for that path.

1) aside from considering it already happened, I still don't see the problem, Tommy has been annoying from l first day to BR, assuming he gets a little more annoying I don't see it as a big deal

2) the only situation in which I see the loan issue closing in the next chapter is for the solution to be mending the relationship between Maya and Patrick, it would seem likely a move to Maya and family's house might solve something. but I see it more likely that it will only serve to underscore how Patrick is evil evil, and how Maya is a victim victim

3) it could be, in the end it wouldn't be anything earth-shattering but it would move the story forward. already Quinn making an issue of how many MC girls he's banging during the party is a step in that direction

4) I would be shocked that somehow we would already learn that the BR regulations include some difficulty in teacher/student relationships. something that could be discovered in 10 seconds with a smartphone. I always hope for it, but I always put off disappointed

I'll add a few points of my own

5) real beginning of the discovery of Lynette's true story. the picture is from two chapters ago, if not Jill that Bianca or someone says something, you can't go on like this.

6) twist on Madame, she has been too long hidden under the rug

7) final consequences for those who coiffed on the exam, including MC in the case

8) Diks finally begin to think that someone has it in for them, and not just the Jocks (the micro cameras etc.)

Volumetric smoke, yes. The vdb engine also has some rain stuff, but I haven’t seen that in use so can’t comment on its flexibility.

 

[TimHawk]

I don't know...could he do that? Yes, but why would he? If he puts a bunch of cliffhangers into the episodes that lead nowhere, people will just start to ignore them. So this should have ramifications and why shouldn't have them? It would be a good opener to the episode for that path.

If Tommy hadn't asked the MC to look after Josy, I would be with you and felice that it's a no brainer, but I can't help myself to think why on god's green earth did he put that in there ? Just for that Oscar scene ?

And yea, thats exactly what's happening, people do disregard his cliffhangers, since they have never, at least as far as I can remember, led to anything big.

I really wish that an episode would start with a bang, but so far DPC hasn't touched anything regarding Josy/Tommy. Tommy didn't confess that he's in love with Josy, Josy hasn't talked with the MC how to tackle the Tommy obstacle, Josy and Maya haven't come out as bi yet.

Maybe it's just been one to many DPC-Cliffhangers for me, but I feel like first scene in Episode 10 it's gonna be resolved without any big blow up.

 

[MundaneYeti]

anyone knows in what platforms DPC provides the download link for each episode? (e.g mega, mediafire...)

Honestly I don't think it will be a big bang, but it has to be...something. In the end Tommy can't really do much. Josy is a grown-up and he can hardly expect her to be single for the rest of her live. And the repercussions can't be that massive anyway, since that would deviate that path too much from the other paths. So in the end Tommy might get angry but he will be reigned in and then the rest of the ep. will continue.

Of course there could only be some form of time skip between episodes and we just get told that Tommy knows everything and was a bit angry but ultimately couldn't do anything.
