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

[Darkwen]

Status update Episode 12

I've been working on a long scene for the entire week. And it's one of those scenes that I've wanted to create since day one, so I'm having a very good time with it. It's a bit surreal seeing it come to life after all these years. The scene I'm working on has a variety of environments and characters, meaning that it takes quite a while to create each render.

In recent Q&As, I discussed how the environment can take quite a while to set up. This has been evident this week when I've bounced between several environments and wardrobes. At times, it feels like I'm stomping in place instead of moving forward, but it's going well, and the effort will be worth it. PCs have plenty of files to render while I do this scene justice.

I also posed another minute-long cutscene animation.

I want to finish this long scene soon and continue posing more static renders, and that's what I'll be focusing on.

well not much there, wonder what that scene is

I would imagine a series of flashbacks regarding Bella, James, and the room. Thus, the various environments and characters. Since its multiple moments of their lives.
I can't think of what else will pay off in ep12 that requires multiple environments/characters in one scene. Unless its a Nerds keikaku scene, I guess. Flashbacking to the various moments of Magnar's scheme while he gloats and monologues, maybe?

Unless it got to do with breakups or the breakup I been waiting for

 

[NadaMucho]

Well you either use a criteria, or you're making stuff up and not telling us.

It's basic understanding of an evaluation.

I don't see your metrics or methodology anywhere. I'd be happy to entertain your thoughts on your Sally rant not being 100% subjective. Since you seem to want to mix it up I'll go ahead and hit back. I mean it's not hypocritical at all to have that sort of a rant on a character you think doesn't matter while flying that Nora avatar!

Things that WILL NOT be said if Nora falls off the face of the earth

Oh no they got rid of Nora! I quit!
Nora was dropped?! No more Patreon money for you!
Nora was so important the the story! How can she be dropped?!
Nora was such a delicate and well rendered model there is no way we can continue!

Who's Nora?

Hopefully it will be a scene of worshipping Divine Quinn's feet.

 

[UncleFappy]

Actually, yeah, that might work too. Multiple moments in Maya and Josy's past.

Although. If thats true, kinda funny that DPC has been chomping at the bit to get to this point to break them up from day 1.

For a guy with Pink in his name he sure does like pain

Good looking out SteveyP!

well not much there, wonder what that scene is

I remember a while back we were theorising how the next episode will start and I said we could see a Bella flashback that leads to her opening the door (in the past) and then it will cut back to the present for the reveal.

I'm imagining the contrast of a brightly lit child's bedroom contrasting with what it looks like now. Would be a great use of a minute cutscene I suppose.

 

[El_Magnifico]

Flashbacking to the various moments of Magnar's scheme while he gloats and monologues, maybe?

We need a huge flashback with Magnar's perspective in all the big moments in season 1 to season 3. How he has screwed over the DIKs and the alphas since the very beginning.

Imagine how smart he'd feel with another "Do you see ?" Maya moment. He's gonna pretend there were a shitload of foreshadowings. "I don't do lazy writing see ?"

Just cause you don't see it, don't mean it's not there. I think that whole discussion between Tremolo and Magnar about the hazing showed some foreshadowing of the Beta resentment about the other frats.

That could be the case but would that need more then one environment?

 

[Craysser]

In-game, it hasn't even been half a year, let alone a full year. We haven't even reached Christmas Day yet.

didnt MC arrive at B&R around february or something and its now almost new year?

Spoiler: Sally - Tier S

based list.

Your list looks random and subjective.

like everyones list is supposed to be. (subjective, not random)

 

[-d2d-]

That could be the case but would that need more then one environment?

Obviously we have no idea but could be many things that would need different locations:

1. Bella finding out she's pregnant somewhere
2. Buying stuff for the baby
3. Something happens to the baby
4. Something to do with her husband leaving (maybe even finding out that he is MIA and she has a miscarriage or something?)

Who's Nora?

UMM AWCTUALLY(Just want to correct about people dropping) on the things that will not be said, its basically universal thing.

DPC doesn't give a rat's ass if someone says they are dropping for X reason, heck we even had a counter by Ray where people came in and said story sucks and will drop and etc.

Thats it

Another scene where MC overreacts. "OMG there's a baby room! I won't be able sleep for 3 and half days!" Runs like a pussy to Jade's, Nora's or Philippe's house. You get the multiple scenes, hospital, Bella's house and the teacher's house.

 

[Bazsa4]

An upside down pineapple is code for swinging...

And you know this how?

 

[NadaMucho]

Sally in the stable

 

[FalconLover420]

It might be either the concert or the fight arena cutscene render

He is excited about the scene tho, so I am concerned at what it is.
