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

[Holy Bacchus]

It was AVI,

It think that's where you went wrong. AVI sucks balls as a video format as it's extremely low quality, you'd want to render it out as either MP4 or MKV which are the best qualities. After Effects should have options for higher qualities than AVI and at least have the MP4 format which I believe may be classed as H.264 in the format settings when you're exporting.

Look into it on Google, but I'm sure you should be able to do a higher format than that, then you can either use

Not all heroes wear capes.

Thanks bro haha, was waiting for it myself, then I thought the community on F95 has already done so much for me in terms of walkthroughs and games, it's my turn to give back.

Yes, I know AVI encoding is shit but as I stated later in the post that After Effects doesn't allow exporting to MP4, Mkv, WebM, etc. Though I converted it to WebM with a very insignificant loss in quality, converting it to GIF was the issue. Ezgif has some serious FPS restrictions, 5 FPS for a 60-sec clip, that just ruined the animation while using some other sites converted the 9MB video file to 50MB gif.
Gifs, in simple words, are basically like a flipbook, more FPS = more pages = more size. A GIF with the exact same quality, FPS, etc will always have a bigger size than its video counterpart. That's why most Gifs are usually 5 - 10 sec long with poor quality.
Here's the 1 min 9MB 30FPS 450x250 WebM file of the same for comparison -

Correct. Never use online converter though, do it in Photoshop.

TBH Ezgif is a great tool to quickly convert photos or even smaller videos if one wants to make a gif without leaving the browser. I used it quite a lot but it sucks that it doesn't allow 25+ FPS for a clip over 10 seconds.

& I think we should leave this topic of compression & conversion before the mods hit .

coming to a more relevant topic -
Am I the only one who realized today that there's a scene where Maya (with her ugly hairstyle) & Josy (looking beautiful as ever) helps the MC with library cleaning!

After Effects does allow for exporting in MP4 format but it involves a few extra steps and can be done in one of 2 ways; either use the Media Encoder app to do it, or install Quicktime then export it as a Quicktime file and change the format to H.264.

 

[Maviarab]

No one should ever install Qt...for any purpose...except to set your pc on fire afterwards for the feel good factor of burning it.

Just use Davinci guys....cheaper after 6 months too

Can anyone actually help me to get this to work on Mac?????

I'm beginning to feel like a broken record. Oh well, long live copy and paste...

The problem: during unzipping, the executable files in the game package lost their execute permission, so the app won't run.
Solution: if you still have the zip file, try unzipping it with The Unarchiver instead of the default archive utility. The Unarchiver tends to be better in preserving these execute permissions.
If you've already deleted the zip and don't want to download the 11 GB again, you can fix the permissions yourself in Terminal.

In Terminal, type 'chmod a+x ' without the quotes and drag the first executable in the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path to the executable file. Hit enter. Repeat for the second file.

To find the executables, right click on the game and choose Show package contents. Then go to Contents/MacOS. The file you are looking for is called BeinADIK. The second one (same name) is in Contents/MacOS/lib/darwinx86-64.

Indeed, I too used the open-source Handbrake for the same. What I am trying to say is that encoding is not the issue here, how GIF handles a large no. of frames is -

A GIF with the exact same quality, FPS, etc will always have a bigger size than its video counterpart. That's why most Gifs are usually 5 - 10 sec long with poor quality.

Also, I'm very new to After effects so it's very much possible I might be fucking something up. So let's just leave it at that . I don't want to get too off-topic here lol .

It's like a baby's arm

I still have my PS4 but I don't have money but the console version sucks I would play the game like Yuno Gasai Gif Edition

 

[zhicai]

Don't mind me. I'm just here to say that this game is an absolute masterpiece. I can't quite put into words how beautiful and masterfully-written it is. All hail DrPinkCake and such.

Apologies. I ended up figuring it out, the Mac's Archive Utility removes the executable files so I used Unarchiver to unzip it and it ended up working. Just seen you've repeated this a ton of times, my bad.

And maybe the visor is doing it for me, Katie always has those cool glasses.

She never takes those goofy specs off...I've even seen her sleeping with them on. That annoys the hell out of me. How am I supposed to give her a proper facial if she won't remove them? Without the potential for an eyeshot where a blasting of potent, salty goo burns out her retina then what's the point? The entire process is thusly diminished. When you slap your salami on a lady's face, you want to hear and feel it smack against skin not polycarbonate or whatever.

Glasses would have ruined Jill's bedroom scene with the DIK helmet. I'm glad most of the BaDIK girls either don't wear them or take them off prior to the moment of truth. KRJ gets a pass because she's KRJ, but I'm still going to make her at least lift them up at the end. If she doesn't, I'll stick it in her ear. Relax, it will be under 44dB.

Skull fucking through the eye socket doesn't really do it for me, but each to their own.

Am I the only one who realized today that there's a scene where Maya (with her ugly hairstyle) & Josy (looking beautiful as ever) helps the MC with library cleaning!

It has been mentioned in passing before, but given how poorly it compares with the Bella cleaning scene, there was nothing really to talk about (except just how disappointing it was that nothing happened). Imagine in real life cleaning your new dorm room with two beautiful girls who you're sleeping with, you've finally finished for the day, everyone's hot and sweaty and then you're all like, "OK, bye!" WTF!? I don't think there was any shenanigans at all during the whole scene! Surely he'd cop a feel from time-to-time to keep the motivation up... Definitely opportunity missed.

It should because boy does Bella have just the skull for you in her locked room.
James has been cleaned and polished.

While I agree it was a missed opportunity, I think it kind of makes sense in universe. I mean Tommy is make an effort to be less of prick and Derek is well Derek. so hooking up with both their sisters in the DIK house would be a risky business especially given that all the DIKs are around trying to clean the place.

where as Bella doesn't have such immeadiete issues, (also she is much harder to say no to. )

Hoes before bros man, especially when there's two of them! Plus the MC already took Tommy down, so he can just sit there and watch Josy's ass get torn to pieces, and Derek... OK, I feel sorry for Derek... poor guy, he fucks up and loses Ashley only to find out the MC's already had a taste of that... Maybe it was better that the decision was made for me, I might not have been able to look myself in the mirror afterwards...

When you put it like that, I kinda feel like its a shame dpc didn't give a us a choice we could partly regret for that scene

I think it has more to do with how he sees each of the relationships. With Bella it is more carnal in nature as she started thinking in the library and the MC even admitted to himself it's hard for him to talk with her afterwards as if they really have nothing in common with each other. With Josy and Maya I think it's more emotional/friendship oriented. Now that they are trying to make it work with the three of them they might want to take it slow to see if it works at all, especially considering they are good friends now and don't want to ruin that friendship.

Bella wants to think it's just carnal but is starting to admit her genuine feelings towards him.
