VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[`Ray`]

Plenty of people, when a full compressed release is smaller than the update.

Not to be rude, but that's just stupid. One would still wait for a day or two for the new mod update. Why waste your time, deleting the whole game and downloading it again?

I remember reading comments in the Scrappy mod thread that said that the game breaks if you update the game and you have the mod as well, that you need to download the whole game from start.

I don't know if that's a lie but I don't want to risk it

Yes, I read those too But it didn't happen with me, maybe because I read the instructions carefully

...What the-

If you are going to download the mod again, then just wait for 2-3 days for the mod to be updated and update it....Who the hell would delete the whole modded game and download it again, just to mod it again?!

fappybeard is this your second account or did you ask him to troll here?

You need to download the entire game again, you cannot use the update only for a modded game, something to do with the mod's extra files. Modding the game is always done on a "clean/fresh" game if you want to avoid as many headaches as possible. A clean "install" would let you use your saves too if you are that impatient for the mod.

I really hope me being bored as hell these last months dont screw me over. I downloaded the gallery mod and I am scared shitless it will break my future saves, I didnt knew stuff like that was problematic and didnt back up any of them. As much as I like BADIK, doing another 10 hour playthrough is not on my to do list.

copy game to another folder, use the mod on that one. create a completely different save, don't touch the original game folder.

I'm talking about a new update (i.e. chapter) to the game. I assumed that was what everyone was talking about, since a new chapter would necessitate a new version of the mod.

Well that's true, it makes it a little easier

Can't give reactions so

 

[CHAD-MAN]

Gonna grab my saves, DL the game again (why there's not a freaking torrent file in here!?!?), copy my saves back and see if I still have the gallery unlocked. If not, sigh... I pray I have some saves from at least episode 5 around. I might actually do it again since I kinda of fucked a bit fixing the mansion anyway. Its just so many hours just to get to that point.

EDIT: Found some saves I have here, not sure if its from episode 5 or 6 tho. In any case, its at least something if I have to re-do some stuff

 

[Oliver Wendell Homely]

It's been a while. Has DPC given any date for the release yet, or is probably going to be around november? Where's the guy with the very high IQ, that was the last time I was in this thread Lol

As today is Friday, DPC will soon send out his weekly update. It's possible that today he might drop at least a ballpark completion date for the episode, though I suspect we have one more week before that happens. If DPC also includes render and animation numbers in this week's status update, then the number crunchers will plug that data in and see if the previous estimate of November 5 gets adjusted.

 

[Kellermann]

The days with much less content and play time too. Also a much lower scope and choice branches.

And I've got no problem with that. To me, season 1 had the perfect mixture of content vs dev time. Four months is the sweet spot. I know it's never going back to that, but I look back on that time fondly. 6+ months is it from here on out. The wait for ep. 9 (even longer wait due to steam) will be painful indeed, especially if ep. 8 is particularly good with a killer (no pun intended Bella) cliffhanger.

This week I finished posing all lewd animations, and that's a significant milestone!

I will still add any desired SFW (Safe for work) animations when developing the rest of the episode, but I consider the animations task to be virtually finished now.

I don't have the exact final count of animations yet, but we are talking about the 350-360 animations range for this episode.

The final animation queue is now rendering, and I have shifted my focus to other tasks.

This week, I also coded the gallery functionality, implemented all special renders and new 2D art, implemented the pack quest, wrote a bit more story, worked on the final free roam event, and posed static renders for a couple of scenes.

Next week I plan to focus on producing art and work on coding tasks that remain.

The static render count right now is 3605. I don't have an estimate for the number of renders left to pose.

Have a nice weekend

I guess we can still expect a Halloween release! His animation task is almost over and He is working on the last free roam event for this episode. Summon Charts!

I am still going with December.

Great progress on statics. Only 120 shy of episode 7 now, though probably around 4 weeks behind.



No confirmed animation update, however if we guess he finished 18 again...

 

[Byczer]

DEV works really hard and does a really great job. I'm looking forward to episode 8.

So much for mid-Nov release being "delusional".

 

[CHAD-MAN]

I am still going with December.

I seriously doubt it, it will be THAT long. At worst, mid November

 

[Jazzmatazz]

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it......all together now

 

[DeFuZe]

I spoke to DPC, he will release the update on my b-day which is 11st November. You are welcome !

 

[PashafromRussia]

The October update of the game looks quite realistic. But the developer is still writing a script for the game along with programming and creating renderers, so I can't say for sure. I can say this for sure. DPC has greatly increased its productivity in recent weeks. This means that he wants to release the game before Halloween.

 

[despelote]

weren't there allusions to halloween in episode 7? :-/
i could imagine it coming out in that time frame.
