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

[mindern]

I am leaning towards the idea that Porn Games could also be useful in terms of giving some knowledge at basic level. For example, in Melody, the MC taught Melody a history of music, and for me it was very cognitive. As of MC being an engineer student, there could be a Visual Design/Rendering classes, where DPC could share his own personal experience in such areas. Some simple things, without digging into more hardcore specifics.

Problem is the “hardcore specifics” is 99% of CAD/CAE software. Knowing how to use the various restrictions the software has to make the maths it does possible and still make what you need is the bit you learn. It’s why people specialise because different software does things slightly differently.

Without the nonsense that comes with facilitating the maths you’re just using Microsoft Paint.

Don’t get me wrong he could make more interesting engineering mini games but modern design software is weird in that is such bespoke software nothing of value comes from imitating it. You wouldn’t learn anything.

total side note... if you’re actually interested in this kinda shit the software is largely free. Hobby licenses exist for all major programs and it’s easy to learn to the point engineers don’t really do their own CAD work (at least in my field). I haven’t in years, we hire technicians who need no qualifications just experience.

DPC still post status update in beta testing it will take time.

This week I've been coding and polishing the episode while the PCs render animations and static renders.

Approximately 50 static renders and 25 animations remain in the render queue.

Some of the animations are more demanding to render than others, meaning that the number of frames per animation and render speed per frame vary.

It's too early to try and predict the remaining time accurately, I have a few demanding animations left in the queue and also some faster ones to render.

I estimate that we're waiting for something like 2000-3000 animation frames to render in total.

I have plenty of things to do while waiting. This week I've been putting together the remaining free roam events and they are now playable.

The next week will be spent on playtesting the episode thoroughly, making sure everything I want in the episode is there and that the content is polished.

I have a bit of content left to produce for the phone and the free roam events, but not a lot.

The final few percent of every update, or any project really, are the ones that take the longest time. But rest assured that every day we're one day closer to the release of "Episode 6 - Damage control".

Have a nice weekend

Damage control....

From the looks of this I'd say Nov 6th is probably looking most likely now. If we take the fact that it sounds like they'll be playtesting the game before all renders and animations are included, then they'll surely have to playtest again after they've added them, and then they've also set aside 2 weeks for the beta testers after which they'll have to polish and correct anything they find. So all-in-all, that could be probably take another 4 weeks.

Agreed, either the interns, recent graduates or the CAD technicians do the computer assisted drafting and linework.

When it comes to the game, I guess he could always look up generic floorpans for the mini games, but I personally don't think it's worth the hassle, even though, if done correctly, it could be kinda interesting. Depends of how original the mini-game turns out to be.

This episode better be good.

a game of D&G, at least 2 free roams ... there is just a nice flashback to make sure nothing important happens ...

Yep, at least it's comforting to know that the update will bring several days worth of content, and tons of replay value! But I am amongst the people that'd rather wait 3 months for a slightly smaller update.

Nice one

 

[PookieSage]

With the upcoming update in sight, I need to refresh my memory on all the routes I have :/ To the people with more than 3 routes, how do y'all manage to do it?

Very easily, and if F95 allowed me to upload excel sheets and I'd show you heh. (unless someone knows a way).

With the upcoming update in sight, I need to refresh my memory on all the routes I have :/ To the people with more than 3 routes, how do y'all manage to do it?

I had played it for the first time with the last chapter, and in the end I made a single route exploring only the possibilities such as the triple choice at the end of the third chapter.

now both to re-enter the atmosphere of the game and for the sake of completeness I think I will start over in practice, carrying out 8 routes, the "free" route from roleplay, one for each LI, one for Maya + Josy, and a bad boy (in theory for Quinn)

I agree with you. I also think it will take a while, after all these testers do a thorough job. I've personally encountered very few to no bugs in the past updates.

Damn thats some dedication right there ^^ I'd have done it from the beginning if I knew that I would be so invested in this game
