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

[ffive]

Charging 30$ for a 'Preview' of an image of EP 9 is laughable

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

I'm sorry to shit on your gay optimistic outlook brother, but his statement implies no upper limit on animations, live in fear.

So I just wrote that I will refrain from optimism ...
We know him. He can come up with something and add at the last moment.
Ironic. Most developers cut content before release rather than adding it.

It was an ironic statement, since I implied that your lack of optimism, was still overly optimistic.

"All renders for Episode 10 need to be redone 6 additional times, to account for all possible variations of Jill's new outfit."

For the time being, I will refrain from blind optimism.
"I know it will definitely be over 200 animations in total" is a very undefined number, it can be either 210 or 299.
In addition, there are very few static renders done so far, he said that he will try to make the episodes smaller, but I doubt that there will be less than 4000 renders.

There is good reason to be optimistic right now, but if starts milking and mother fucking and being a lazy ass we get him

Nah it's going to be October or something... All the branching has just added to the development time while shrinking the size of a single playthrough.

So he can cover the branching and single playthroughs in more detail, lets just all agree that it's best if he released 1 episode every 2 years

If it works - it works. Why fix something that ain't broken

This week I wrote dialogue for several scenes. Lately, I've had a good flow when it comes to writing. I have written long canon scenes and important branching scenes with ease. When glancing over the scenes I haven't written yet for the episode, I'm feeling excited.
When it comes to art, I focused on a couple of lengthier scenes. I also wrote and completely posed the renders and animations for another lewd scene.
For the last few days, I've been writing yet another lewd scene and a large portion of the surrounding bonding moment. I will continue and make the art for it early next week.
Based on what I've planned for the episode regarding lewd content, I'm roughly 45% done with the art posing and writing for them. I don't know how that ties in with the planned total number of animations yet. I know it definitely will be over 200 animations in total. Some of the remaining lewd scenes are shorter and some are longer.
874 static renders have been posed, some of which are in the render queue. 138 animations have been posed (74 completed and 64 waiting to render).

Because I've made a good batch of fresh renders this week, I'll post another preview soon. I will continue to work on a scene-by-scene basis, with a mix of writing and creating art, next week.
Have a nice weekend

Date with Nicole should be fully or nearly done. God, i'm nervous.

Some of the minigames need a serious overhaul, because they just don't work the way they're supposed to. Half the time on the Brawler game when I press on something, nothing happens, which makes it virtually impossible to win. I've given up trying at this point. It also means it's very difficult to win any of the in-game fights, without making multiple repetitions, until the game responds as it should.

Also all the games where you have to navigate courses with the mouse cursor ( such as the mini game when the MC paints Bella's fence), you move the cursor over a particular area and it doesn't fill up, so you have to go back over the same area again, which means you end up running out of time. And that means you can't get the special renders, which are a reward for completing these games successfully.

Many of these issues have been around for a while, and so far the Dev has done nothing to correct them. Brawler for instance is just a waste of time as things stand, and I just ignore it completely. That means I've got no chance of earning the renders that you can only get by playing this mini game

I play this game on PC, and have never had any of these problems, are you running the game on an android or something?

Just out of curiosity. What version of the game do you play? I play the Windows version on a pretty powerful hardware and have zero problems with the mini-games, including Brawler, whatsoever.

He is talking about the scenes that happen in every branch.

I think he means the scenes that all paths have in common, regardless of any affinity, status, or chosen path.

Best Girl Tournament

What all some of you have been waiting for is here. Time to see who this thread picked as best girl of badik. Because of vote tampering miscounting I had to change some things to make it fair. Before that the tournament was elimination style, except you can't have a draw in elimination. Which is what happened when Sage and Quinn went head to head. So the plan I talked about is that I turned the last rounds from elimination to round robin. The four girls in this round of course were Cammy, Quinn, Rio, and Sage. Each of them had a match vs everyone else. The result of each round of this stage is the following:

Round 1
View attachment 2361357

Here we had the infamous Sage vs Quinn draw, and Rio beating her best friend.
The exact numbers are:
Quinn 21 - 21 Sage
Cammy 12 - 30 Rio

Round 2
View attachment 2361383

Aka the fake final and bronze match. Rio and Cammy put up some fight, but ultimately had no chance.
Rio 12 - 22 Sage
Cammy 8 - 26 Quinn

Round 3
View attachment 2361388

You heartless bastards declared that you are ok with Rio abuse ...Oh yeah and Sage also won.
Cammy 6 - 24 Sage
Rio 11 - 19 Quinn

Round Robin Table

	Win	Draw	Loss	Total Votes
Cammy	-	-	3	26
Quinn	2	1	-	66
Rio	1	-	2	53
Sage	2	1	-	67

Since there were no underdog upsets after the 2 titans faced off in the first round it was a tie again between Sage and Quinn. So ultimately it came down to how well they did vs Cammy and Rio. Which was as close as it possibly could be without a tie (thank fuck for no tie ).

Closing statement
Thanks everyone who voted, without engagement the tournament would've sucked. It was fun to see how split we are on best girls, we had three ties and the final winner came down to a difference of one vote. It started out as a one-off post so I wasn't properly prepared for this, so apologies about the Quinn mishap. If I do this again after Episode 10 I'll be more experienced, and hopefully this won't happen again

What? Quinn over Rio? Fuck, sure people are evil.

I missed the 3rd round, I didn't see the post even when I entered the site everyday, my fault. Certainly unfair the abuser gets silver...

What the fuck are you talking about, dude? The canon scenes always existed in all episodes regardless of the existence of branches or not. The canon scenes mentioned by the DPC must be the events that happen in the plot that are not connected with the LI (for example, the Jocks destroying the DIK's mansion).

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

He will read ChipLecsap comments and will add 10 more Madame scenes to extend development time.
Jokes aside, when i read Q&A, I got the impression that he was reading the Reddit fan page and F95.

 

[saynotoNTR]

I got the impression that he was reading the Reddit fan page and F95.

When he mentioned fan theories, Dalli came to mind. I'm sure the DPC has read some of the shit Dalli writes, God wouldn't just let us F95 members be forced to read all of Dalli's preposterous theories while DPC gets away with it.
