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

[funkymonkeyjedi]

I'm taking the piss out of the people who cry when a girl gets fuck by someone who is not the MC.

My bad, I'm usually pretty decent with sarcasm. But that one flew under my radar.

 

[ZenoMod]

wouldn't that be NTR?

Well... Since the anti-NTR jihadists are so identified in the MC to consider a "cuck" who doesn't want the MC to be the only male to have sex in the game, I guess that a sex scene with Lynette & Neil would cause a "Why you degenerate made me watch MY parents having sex!?!" reaction...

We finally get to see Lynette lose her virginity to Neil!

Or if Lynette is actually still alive, we'll get to fuck her.

Here's a sample... DPC cannot wait to put this AI voice acting into the whole game:

That's terrible, they sound like people in their middle-age.

"Special Announcement" next Friday.

He realizes he's about to get a ton of shit for going a whole calendar year without any sort of new Chapter, so he's trying to get in front of it.

I mean, honestly, the thin skinned prick deserves to get shit on here.

He should have NEVER done the Interlude, and he should be releasing this new chapter in chunks if it's going to take this long to get out a new Chapter.

Interlude was so damn pointless imo. I didn't feel like I learned anything about Zoey tbh. I "learned" way more in ep10 and only at that point I started to care about her at all. I feel like it would make zero difference if interlude never happened (or if he just did like short recap of her trip in episode 9 instead, to how I'd feel interacting with her in ep10.

Also, if it was up to me, the only minigames I'd keep are the mansion and party planner one. The rest are so annoying and provide 0 replay-ability and he even went to rework fighting minigame lol. It makes replaying game so annoying and so much dev time wasted.

It was a very productive week. I finished all the remaining writing. Yep, all of it, as previously stated - is written.

Moreover, I added new patrons since episode 10 to the credits, added the Vault digits to the episode, double-checked that they worked, and ensured that all special renders were added.

I've now started working on the remaining art.

Here's an updated checklist and my current thoughts.

Unfinished writing

• Analyze if any branch needs more writing during polishing. Other than that, all scenes should be written and ready for art and polishing.

Unfinished art

• I haven't counted the exact number of scenes that need art, but it's ~20 scenes of varied length.
• Static renders and animations for a small lewd scene

SFX & Music

• SFX & Music for the scenes mentioned in the art section; the rest of the episode should be close to completion.

Coding & other tasks

• Rooster needs 1-2 more clucks.
• Analyze how much more the phone gallery needs. It's near completion.
• Phone chats are near completion.
• Add Bios to the entire episode. It's a couple of hours worth of work.
• The end of the episode report needs to be written.
• Add Discord rich presence functionality for Episode 11.

After the above comes the polishing, proofreading and beta-testing process.

My thoughts on all of this
Creating the remaining static renders and animations will be fun and not pose any greater difficulties. I will have to design some new environments for the remaining scenes. I expect big progress with the unfinished art over the upcoming weeks.

There are two big remaining hurdles before beta testing and proofreading - one labor-intensive and one limited by hardware.

Rendering the remaining animations is one of the hurdles, but I'm seeing a decent speed on what's rendering. 60 animation files are currently in the queue.

Polishing the episode is the labor-intensive hurdle. I'll have to play it many times in different ways and make changes where needed. During this development cycle, I have only played the entire episode two or three times, with some gaps along the way.

I scrutinize the episode during the polishing phase and adjust art/code/writing accordingly. This is one of my favorite parts of the development cycle because it shows all the hard work since the last episode. It's when the episode starts to feel complete.

I plan on working on art until I'm done posing every written scene. I might do a coding task or two along the way, but the primary focus will be completing the art now.

If he's got a single working brain cell left from licking all that oil off of Mdame he invested the patreon money long ago in the S&P 500 and is just living off the interest at this point...

For the sake of replayability, once a player has succeeded in the mansion repair and in the party planner, they should be skippable retaining the same result.

I mean: they can be fun ONCE but we have so many branches, and most of us want to explore if not all of them at least a few... being forced to repeat those looong minigames is a boring waste of time. It's no surprise people resort to cheating.

The same goes with the looong free roams that make impossible to skip already seen content and concentrate only on the differences between branches.

Who the Hell uses CST over EST or PST???

Pretty much anyone who can read an analog clock and who have a life larger than their immediate surroundings.
EST, CST and PST aren't going anywhere.

First of all, a couple of serious questions I have

1) The next month, I will use a new computer. If I want to play BaDIK in the new computer with my current full gallery and my saves, what archives do I need to backup?

On Windows, if you go to C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy (or equivalent if changed), you should find folders for all the Ren'Py games you've played, unless you've been in there before and deleted them. This is the backup location for save and persistent files. If you copy this folder over to the same location on the new PC, you'll be golden, even if you haven't yet installed the games themselves. Once you install the games, your save files and settings will be there waiting for you.
