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

[always86]

4K renders, he is doing a job for 4.83% of gamer audience according to Steam statistics who have 4K monitors.
2K would be enough, it is more mainstream now with 20% of users, 4K is still for the elites. But DPC being DPC.

I think 4k is a bit of a waste, however it does future proof him. 4K will probably be where things are in a decade. When Lucas re-released Star Wars he did all the effects in 1080P, which limited them for the future. (not to compare the two)

I imagine Maya's skin will look awful in 4K

I'm not surprised this is what he was doing. It's the only thing that really explains the really slow dev cycle.

If he's at 60% content then he could be targeting 350 animations (40 less than episode 11). Could be content complete by July next year.

If he's 60% in terms of production time then he could be compelete in June.

I think Both events can take place in the same location: the college gymnasium. One event is organized by B&R, for alumni, directors, staff, investors and some invited students who have stood out for one reason or another (like MC and Jill, who were invited to play at the event).

The MMA/kickboxing championship can take place in the same location, as I said before, only needing to set up the ring/octagon in the middle of the court.

If the university organized a New Year's Eve party where both professors and some students are invited, it's only natural that at least the fraternity presidents are present and in the same space, even if they're gritting their teeth. And this, in my opinion, is the ideal moment for the smoke and subsequent fire - although this title can also refer to the characters' choices and their consequences.
I have a feeling that many of Magnar's plan moves will culminate in an avalanche during one or both events, depending on which branch you choose.

It's just a theory, of course...

You can't smooth things over if neither side wants to.

Because they'll be made to. Either it will be someone like Sage who offers up the compromise as a "take it or leave it" or it could even be the MC and Chad being the ones to get in the middle of it and arrange the compromise, perhaps even with Sage also helping. Either way, it's going to be a singular party with both in attendance to try and calm the tensions.

Your argument doesn't quite hold water when you consider that in Episode 7, JB, Jacob, and the MC were at the HOTs party with the Alphas.

Things are a lot different now than they were then, most notably the fact that Chad and the MC are on the same side now and they know someone's trying to pit the frats against each other. Also, that situation in Ep 7 was because they had been told to keep their distance from the Jocks because of recent events but that's like 3 months in the past now and they "made peace" in Ep 10.

Furthermore, remember that the Thanksgiving event in Episode 10 was also two separate parties that then merged.

Because this was a trick the DIKs and HOTs played so they could party together with it just seeming like coincidence. Completely different to this.

I wonder where the other 81 people are?

In other rooms, obviously. How is this a hard concept to understand?

So far, so good. But Dawe clearly stated in Episode 11 that he wants the HOTs at the Alpha New Year's Eve party. He's planning a separate party just for the Alphas. The MC said he wants the HOTs with him for New Year's Eve.

Only for this season - not sure who will be the poster girl next time

 

[Roger-a-Dale]

Only for this season - not sure who will be the poster girl next time

Since it was Jill for S1 and Josy and Maya for S2, I'd expect Bella for S4.

DPC saving the best for last - what a hero

 

[KaiserST]

I expected quite a bit more previews, but I will take what I can, EP 11 drop from last year really got me spoiled.

Nothing groundbreaking here, the best preview is easily Josy's, she really is looking good in that lingerie

I will have fun updating my

4K is a waste, but its nothing new.

DPC already stated back in the past he rendered his art in 4K and downscaled later, so this isn't a new thing.

I doubt the 60% mark he mentioned, DPC is notoriously bad at stating his actual progress.

Since it was Jill for S1 and Josy and Maya for S2, I'd expect Bella for S4.

It would be only logical...

So it will be Madame instead

DPC's perfectionism. Evidence.

The best bottles of all AVNs, and I challenge anyone to say otherwise.

 

[felicemastronzo]

If you don't know the reference, the % has no meaning. 60% of the scenes, of the various paths, of the renders?

This assumes that dpc knows what 100% really is....

 

[Blue Milk]

The MMA/kickboxing championship can take place in the same location, as I said before, only needing to set up the ring/octagon in the middle of the court.

It's not the same location though. We've been to the boxing gym already and that's not it in that shot with the very pregnant Arieth.

If the university organized a New Year's Eve party where both professors and some students are invited, it's only natural that at least the fraternity presidents are present and in the same space, even if they're gritting their teeth.

We the players do the party planning though, not the college. So it will be a party put on with player input just as the other ones were, only this time it will be a party that includes the Jocks and maybe the party board this time wll be a mix of DIKs and Jocks to reflect that.

So far, so good. But Dawe clearly stated in Episode 11 that he wants the HOTs at the Alpha New Year's Eve party. He's planning a separate party just for the Alphas. The MC said he wants the HOTs with him for New Year's Eve.

Which is why we're getting a party with both as the compromise, that way there will be no fighting over who gets the HOTs.

Well at least now we know for sure why the dev time has increased so much ever since S2 ended... one more idiotic DPC self-indulgence... but hey, enjoy your shitty 4K 60fps madame animations everyone!!!

Ugh, seriously, I think I'm done with this bullshit... fuck DPC...

Ahem. *Clears throat* I got this. *Cracks knuckles*
The reason Bella isn't shown yet is that she is an arsonist. This is discovered with her locked room reveal. While everyone is distracted with the cop/detective drug den bust, thanks to Quinn's meddling, Bella is busy planning her revenge/cover up. Where better a time than a big New Year's eve party with everyone gathered in one place?
The remaining group has to form an impromptu rock band on the spot to play a guitar hero inspired minigame. After successfully completing a run of Through the Fire and the Flames, the group is able to extinguish the flames and save everyone (except one) from Bella's BBQ .
It is revealed that Madame Rose is an undercover detective. She arrests James accomplice, Bella, after years of gathering proof (with the now unlocked room providing her everything she needs). It turns out the MC's grandfather owns the college (and the whole town) which the MC inherits with his grandfathers sudden death during the fire. The MC's life is about to take on even greater responsibilities...
TL;DR

 

[Better Cock Spock]

Four new screenshots have been added

More like 3 and a reused preview, but hey I won't complain that Cindy was chosen for Steam

Such a goddamn shame though, what a meager amount of new previews. But I guess the bulk of new stuff was in the trailer. I can't believe he's bringing back Swyper

I'm roughly 60% done with Episode 12 development today.

Season 3 on Steam will have an optional 4K mode.

It was pretty funny seeing the "Now in 4K!" pop up in the trailer, alongside his slow and jerky animations

Episode 12 - Smoke and Fire

I could see him not using that exact title, but something that gets the same point across. "Cause and Effect" would be a classier version, kinda like "Paradigm Shift".

Close enough
