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

[redbone89]

I started replaying the whole game again for good measure, it's been a while and I wanted to refresh my memories a bit about choices and whatnot, seen a lot of "forshadowing", things that get important way later
And,

This scene was completly memoryholed for me, or should I say I wasn't paying much attention to it back then. But now reading this, it's unironically made me feel uneasy. A feeling of impending DOOM, escpecialy since I'm on the Bella path with my main save...

JUST WHAT THE FUCK IS IN THAT CLOSET?!?

Tom Cruise is in the closet ^^

 

[AvgVAEnjoyer]

They're just horrified at the clothes she used to wear back in the 80's, Leg warmers, lots of fluro tracksuits, that type of stuff.

Google horrible 80's fashion and you'll have the exact same look on your face as Maya.

Must've been horrible leg warmers if MC freaked out this hard lmao

 

[Lagunavii]

It starts perfectly but once i skip the recap to start the new episode, the whole game would close, if anybody been having this issue and know how to fix it let me know, i didn't install any cheats.

Oh there's been loads of people having this issue and you most definitely have installed cheats at some point. Or at least downloaded someone's saves who has.

 

[MiltonPowers]

I'd love to see Bella wear leg warmers, have her hair all done

 

[Lagunavii]

Neither of them are long term relationship material to be honest.

Well that's not fair, in a game with both Bianca and Nikita how can anyone else measure up

oh okay that conforms it then, thank you.

Given the update patch alone for this chapter was fucking 8gigs. You can see the sort of contact he makes. there are some games out there now that have been out for a long time not even anywhere near to touching 8gig of content. Yeah he took his time doing it. but still. that's quite impressive for one man.

Yeah, though iam one of the people who whishes he would cut out some unnecessary stuff so we could get the episodes faster... but thats just not how DPC works. We have to deal with that, otherwise he wouldnt develop the game in the first place.

The peisode would be nearly the same if it would contain lets say... 5000 renders instead of 7000, which could be easy to obtain if he would just recylce more renders than he does... and of course he could do just, lets say... 300 animations instead of 400, and just like that, the DEV cycle would be shorter than 12 months. And nobody would relaly notice the difference to the peisode we see now, excpet... DPC himself. And thats the problem. DPCs doesnt want to "please" the audience, he wants to please himself with his work. Just read his last report on patreon and see how he "bloats" about the achievement of this episode and how proud he is of the way that lays behind him... thats everything he wants. Be proud of his work done. And thats his main motivation. So yeah... he will do just as he likes, and he likes to do all the stuff he does, even if we want to scream "fuck those 60 fps animation, 30 fps is totally fine" to him its not fine at all... he saw how 60 fps look compared to 30 fps, and to him its like day and night... so he wanted to create all the animations at 60 fps, and that was the main reaosn why he upgraded his rigs with RTX4090. So he could do those animations in a reasonable timeframe... not to please "us" just to please himself... thats how DPC ticks.

filling up the animation rending queue for his PC slaves and build the overall work shedule around this queue. The PC slaves NEVER idle, they are rendering non stop.

Right. I understand that a 50% speedup in rendering time is not going to equate to a 50% shorter development cycle, because he's doing other dev work while the queue is running.
Rendering at 30fps would likely invert things such that HE is the bottleneck, which might lead to increased stress. However, it may also lead to the elimination of unnecessary development effort.

If he's just waiting on the queue, he might invent unnecessary work for himself just to feel "productive".

But yes, he is probably--by far--the most productive game dev, and his work is among the highest quality in terms of production. Even so, the stubbornness in sticking to 60fps RENDERING as opposed to 30fps rendering -> 60fps animations with AI interpolation is frankly absurd, given the quality comparisons I showed.

But he will do as he wills. I'm not a hater, I just wish we could experience more of his work, and I think the changing the strategy in animation rendering could be a solution.

That's a smidge bigger than I was picturing

 

[4Zero9Zero]

Oh... C'mon... Amazing fashion... But Bella ain't that old. If she's around 36 and the game seems to take place in the late 2010s (2018?), she was born in the early 90's and a teen in the mid-to-later Y2Ks. Maybe it's this... She has a Britney Spears's sanctuary in that room.

She might be a Christina fan

They had more than enough time to evolve a bit. Too little to late for em. Now Bianca and Nikita is taking their spots.

Well all know you find that super sexy. You can't hide from us.

When she was a 0-1 years old you mean?

I said something similar to this the other day: I'd quite happily play the game without most of the animations, even though I do appreciate them and some of them are great. the cum dripping out of Josy or Mya for example, yeah was hot but not overly needed. would it get the game out any faster, the way DPC works who fucking knows but dropping some of the animations and reader count Id probably bet it would shave a few months off

How dare you not appreciate the preps walking by a brick wall

By your numbers that would mean she was born in the early 80's, not the 90's.

Im just upset that DPC didn't mix that with the fine FPS game he was designing for Rionas date

Let's not forget the emotionally powerful scene of Zoey running in the woods

 

[ZenoMod]

What save do I use to get the Madam scene and Elena scene?

To have the scene with Elena you have to NOT having had a BJ from Eather (and, of course, you have to positive answer to all the allusion made by both Elena and John Boy about it).
Or at least that's what I've read here. I still haven't had those scenes myself, so I still haven't inspected the code to look for all the involved variables.
EDIT: It's also necessary being on the "others" branch (branchAlone == True)

Think you have to accept the Pink Rose pass instead of using the money for it put towards fixing the mansion, and that's just to get the chance to meet Madame Rose.

Since the saves are with minigames on, I think that it's possible to both accept the Pink Rose VIP pass AND save Rusty's car if you succeed in the Mansion Restoration minigame thus making enough "mansion money".

Saving Rusty's car is needed to have a chance of a lewd scene with Quinn

How dare you not appreciate the preps walking by a brick wall

You know I was thinking about the preps before, and while we have sorta made peace with the Jocks or at least Chad (we shall see if he can talk sense into them in regards to the blackmail letters) Im starting to think that not letting the preps into the party at Halloween may come back and bite us with the impending Frat war that's building
