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

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.

Well, he changed the animation rendering strategy just as it is now after episode 8, because of the unhealthy work shedule and because he couldnt do stuff he wanted to do because of the stress he was getting into.

Of course its easy to say "well duh, take some breaks idiot" but DPC is not somebody who can do that i think. If there is work to do, he is working.

Before episode 8 he was constantly jumping around like the duracel-commercial-bunny. with a improvised workshedule that took about 12 hours a day. (he talked about it on discord WAAAAAAY back in the days). It took him some time to figure out that he needs a timekeeper like most people have at work, clock in at 8 in morning, clock out at 5 in the evening, and so on... and he figured out, his timekeeper could be the animationqueue... its running out? Pose more, while its running he can work on everything else like he wants to and can plan the work around that queue... it works for him now better than before episode 8.

And he found new fields of development he likes... creating music for example. His "change" of animation strategy gave him the space to do that, and he as fun creating music. So he will not give up in that, more like the opposite. More and more stuff was added to the game which DPC has fun creating. And more and more of that sutff look to us like unnecessary stuff... but DPC doesnt care as long as he has fun creating those things... for example, 60 fps animations, or minigames, or music and so on... is it needed? No. But its needed that DPC has fun creating his game, otherwise he wouldnt do it, and thats something everybody should understand at least. Could he have completed episode 11 in lets say... 9-11 months? Yep for sure... would it have been fun to him? Nope.

If we all could decide how to make our work "more" fun, we all would do it. He is in a position that he can do it... i cant blame him for that. BUT... i can decide to just pay for the release of the episode, not the whole procress until the release (or even get it for free here, but this time i payed, for episode 10 i didnt because episode 9 was not good in my book). And thats fine by me.

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.




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

Yeah, I can't be arsed to play with mini-games turned on, too repetitive and time consuming, each season already takes hours and hours to complete without the mini-games.

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

Yeah agree about the preps thing. With all the reruns of my paths I am letting them in. The scene where one of them see Beth making out with another guy will play a roll. As it is basically forced on us. Whether we let them in or not.

Only Tybalt got a letter, the rest didn't so I doubt a truce or not with them will make a difference, I think people mainly hate the preps because of Tybalt, the others seem ok.

The letters goes to the leaders or shall I say main characters of the Frats. So still might.

Yeah I think so as well, they clearly like seeing Tybalt's misfortunes and are disappointed in their mundane Frat, I tell the diks they're not so bad and take a bit of shit from them but it's for the greater good

I make amends with the dorm girls as well, I don't kick Penny and Kylie out, Penny seems to be over it and will probably convince Kylie as well, Tara is fully on board, who gives a shit about burger Beth and Avery

Most of the dorm girls like the DIKs and this whole thing has probably put an end to the walk of shame since nobody is doing it after the party

 

[BigTTiger]

I hope that there will come an episode where there's a huge fucking party with all the frats involved diks, preps, jocks, hots, and all the dormies and hell even the teachers make it one helluva blowout party.

hm yeah i wondered about that scene too, its Oscar seeing Beth there...

The whole "mimimi the DIKs were mean to us so we post the pictures on each wall" is so.... i dont know... its just *rolleyes* especially Beth leading that. She is at every party with the DIKs and fucking around like a horny rabbit... *shrugs*

So Oscar seeing that, and considered that the preps dont have a role in this "frat war", or not that much of a role so far i should say, i think what Beth does will come back at her maybe through some preps too, and MAYBE, if you let them in and have a truce with them, that could help out the DIKs in the long run.

The cathy cluck was handled by Cathy alone, but it was mentioned that if she wouldnt have demanded to handle it alone, it would have been discussed in a councel (like the Chad incident in episode 3 or something like that)...

The things Beth and her witch-circle did could lead to a councel, and Oscar might play a role in that for example... like "woah Beth, you are one to talk about being humilated" or so.

Gordon is the prep who catches Beth making out with someone, not Oscar. Idk where you're getting Oscar from, unless you're mixing it up with Oscar making out with Gina earlier in the same room.

 

[BigTTiger]

Yeah the dude beth is making out with was the sunglass wearing flattop dude oscar is the boyfriend of the white haired chick that was the ghost at the party

Lucas is just about done with Tybalt's shit as well, steals his clothes and starts giving nods to MC in scenes

Yeah that was a nice touch.

But it only happens if you let the preps into the mansion.

He will be the first out the door, he's always arguing with Tybalt on Rooster

 

[Joshua Sanders]

I don't play Jill path so I need a spoiler. Does Bianca find out about Matthew cheating on her on the skiing date? It happens before the xmas party, the reason I ask is because I want to know if she already knows something about her guy when she flirts with mc at the party, that is me playing on the others path, not on jill's, or she doesn't find out if MC isn't on Jills path?

Right Pure speculation time here.

But.

DPC has been showing a lot past decisions matter. Heck that Jade one burned lots. Now you're right, given that ending with Tybalt walking a lot of them do seem to at least not like him, but this is not about liking Tybalt or not. This is about the DIKs being framed and while the other preps probably do not care what is in that letter either way, not letting them stay in your party wont look good against you.

Plus this is DPC we are talking about. the frat war will drop and you know full well its going to be a massive e real-time strategy mini game and the more frats you have on your side the better - this is obviously a joke, but I do find it kinda weird that in one season alone we have a chance to be good with the preps, a chance to forgive a certain member of the dorm girls, a chance to then humiliate some of them dorm girls. Allegiances are gonna matter

Bianca finds out about Matthew way back in chapter 10. But only if you choose to tell Jill

So she can be very much single or very much take at the party - she still flirts either way

I remember someone once saying that Lucas could leave the preps and join the DIKs in the future, and honestly I can see that, especially after he's begun trolling Tyballs
