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

[shazba]

What do you mean by that? Just because you dont like them doesn't mean they are bad games and most people would agree. Just look at NLT who has around the same number of patreons like drpinkcake.

I get what you are saying but its about finding the right people for the job or teach them what they are doing wrong. Sure from the start it would slow down development of badik but in the long run it would be a massive improvement.
Drpinkcake is very good at writting(sometimes getting to dark) so he could outsource codding, rendering and animating.

I don't see any incentive for him to outsource.

• Given the quality and quantity of the releases, having the readers know he did all the work (other than those shit drawings he commissioned for Jacob's art) gives him a high level of prestige.
• He gets to keep all the earning for himself. If he starts having to pay full-time wages for assistants, it could cost him anywhere between 50K to 100K a year (per person). People speculate that he's earning 50K a month from Patreon, but I'd wager it's less than that. The bulk (like probably more than half) of his subscribers would be on the lower tiers for sure.
• If he isn't intending to create another game after this (he might want to retire on his earnings), if it takes longer, he earns more money (due to the Patreon flawed model).
• It's a headache trying to find the right person for the job. Why go through that when there's no incentive?

Like I've said before, the only reason for him to go through all of that is so we get the game faster. How does that benefit him? I don't think it does.

I don't say they are bad games, each their own. I just said you used two of the worst example.
I tried both, and I won't hide that Fashion Business, I absolutely don't like , and the only good thing about it is the render of Monica.

But putting aside the personal feelings. Fashion Business is a SandBox game, each update, 3-4 month is focusing on one specific element. Remind me how long people waiting for the Continuation of Marcus storyline in ? 8-9 month? oh, right it was Ep. 2 v0.13 - version. Hmm, that was 2020 summer, A year ago.

The renders and the animations numbers nowhere near close to what DPC is provided , not to mention the quality of the animation. and just because the size of the game is the same, in gigabytes, does not mean it has the same amount of content.

and Nadia give you every two week a 3-8% update. This usually contain, collecting medals, wich give you the actual gameplay time. A Nadia update, takes you about 15-20 minute to finish. But mostly becasue you walking around doing annoying mini games.
If you wait 5-6 month, you may have the same amount of content as DPC's one single episode, so you have to wait for the same amount of time.

Nadia is the definition of the " Milking the Patreon money ". DPC could easily do the same things. Think of Episode 4. There is Three different starting point, He could have released each of them separately.

First he release, the Derek path, that lead us until the beginning of the Tennis date with Jill.
2 month later, He does the same with Sage, and then after another 2 month , the Bella path. and finally another 2 month and he release the final part from Jill tennis date until the end of game.

We would have to wait for the same time for a complete episode, in fact we would be in worst position, we would be not waiting for Episode 8, but Episode 5 .

so all in all, these two game, while updating a little bit more frequently, to have the same amount of content that DPC single episode contain, - " Not to Mention the quality " - You do have to wait, 5-6 month or even more.

And they Work alone right ? , I mean if they work in team, they are actually worse than DPC, just saying

I don't get the hate towards the drawings, they're pretty cool. I mean, storywise it's weird that it's Jacob drawing lewd pictures of girls he barely know, but the art is nice

Its clear that didnt play update of treasure of nadia because 15-20 minutes is not even close. Each update is around 40 minutes of gameplay. Most of it is not even the mini games but sex and dialogue. If we could compare all the updates of ToN to one update of badik made in the time. Ton would dwarf badik.
You were also wrong about Fashion Business while i agree that animations are not great and sometimes even bad but the renders are amazing. Not to mention the its much bigger. While badik is 17337 render Fashion Business is 26 300 renders and that is only the first 2 episodes. Not to mention the 1225 animations.

Taken separately and as standalone images, they're not bad. Some of them I would say are pretty hot.

However, these are supposed to be 2D representations of 3D characters whose physical features have allured every single one of us. Their looks are so highly regarded that in this thread they metaphorically have launched ships, started wars, and brought peace. And if you're going to create a set of sexy and non-comical caricatures of them, you better know what the fuck you're doing.

At their very foundation, the 2D renders have stripped away almost every aspect of what makes the girls unique. I would say that if you gave them all the same hair and complexion, then you would have a very difficult time telling most of them apart.

Plus, every one of them have thunder thighs. I like thunder thighs, but not on my beloved Nicole. And how do you justify giving the likes of Sarah, Lily, and Riona phat bodies?

Unlike some, I have enjoyed almost every single aspect of BaDIK that is considered "extra" beyond the actual storyline - the phone games, D&G, hidden renders, Rooster and Swyper. So, I appreciate that DPC added another facet to the game by trying something new. I just wish the 2Ds didn't insult my senses by fucking up my girls' unique and beautiful qualities.

I agree 100%.

I enjoy everything this game has to offer, but as caricatures "Jacob's" art really misses the mark. Instead of accentuating or exaggerating the key features of each girl, they've mostly lost their defining features and converged into a single shape that obviously appeals to the artist but pretty much has fuck all else going for it.

Strike #1 for outsourcing.

Well, F.B Started in 2018, badik started a year later. I compared recent update. The latest F.B. update did not contain numbers but the one before did.
Here is F.B Ep.2.2 v0.18 : This update includes 1090 new pictures and 65 cool animations!

and here is Badik episode 7
v0.7.0
Added Episode 7 that includes
3722 renders
836 GUI elements
34 2D-art pieces
250 animations
22 songs
20 sound effects

The release window, for FB, is 3 month usually. and as I said, Sandbox game, focusing on one specific element. but even this you can see, 3 month for 1090 render, vs 5 for 3722 renders.

But if we really want to bitch , lets see, F.B first full season, aka the Full Episode 1. Has : 4300 pieces of art and 225 animation .

Badik, first full season, aka season 1 Has : 7831 render and 361 animation.

and DPC started this in 2019, Monkey started in 2018.
In 2018 DPC started and finished His First Full game Acting Lesson
5000 renders, 217 animations, 61 songs and 30 sound effects.

I respect your opinion but I don't Share. . let's agree to disagree .

 

[ChipLecsap]

.
But yeah, I agree . with the ones before me
It is interesting, becasue Derek looks "majestic "

and the first version of the pictures was kind of good. Well, Josy at least, but then later all of them end up with the same body type


Speaking of, who you draw now, Jacob, ? Josy, Sage ?

 

[Dynamite20]

I wonder what his next game will be like....

This is not Derek, even if he had himself painted. Derek has brown eyes. This is the MC.

one of the best game that I ever played

DPC has done this on purpose to convince us that any external collaboration is harmful....

the first one that came out, Maya's, didn't look bad, the later ones have been really insignificant, if not for a matter of completism I really don't see why they should be of interest.

but maybe I don't fit the bill, even special renders leave me completely indifferent

I know everyone has their own tastes. I just don't understand how it's humanly possible to be indifferent to this:

 

[Kellermann]

This is not Derek, even if he had himself painted. Derek has brown eyes. This is the MC.

Derek's eyes change from blue to brown to blue and back again many times over the episodes. Most people say it is just the particular DAZ lighting that DPC uses, but regardless the eye colour difference is quite noticeable.

the later ones have been really insignificant, if not for a matter of completism I really don't see why they should be of interest.

yes, and as an often completionist myself I say I ignore all of the 2D art. If I happen to get one while playing, so be it, but if I miss a lot of them, I don't care at all. Chubby Josy art is
Sorry Jacob, but now I see why the mansion raiders destroyed your artwork and supplies.

beautiful, gorgeous, but there are also a lot of negligible ones... like the 10,000 wallpapers

but however I see images of that level among the fan art, if I have to look for the book put slightly askew in the half-light to unlock it, patience...
