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

[LiuXuande]

In fact I think he'll sooner or later come around to the idea of releasing a two-part episode every six months. Ocean has long since moved to this model, which allows for relatively stable releases. On the other hand it's unclear how he'll separate it, given the huge number of variables, but I think it's inevitable. He goes to a release once a calendar year or more. I don't know how patient his fans are.

Ocean is definitely not a model for update/release. It's been what? 5 years since he started his games? Along with their "remake"... I would take Episode 9 of BAD over any of this BS.

 

[Tauro Thurius]

Do they have to state "I'm taking things slow so I can milk this a bit more"? Isn't it obvious why he's taking his time? Why some people act dumbfounded as if this never happens in this fucking genre?

We need to learn to take the bitter with the sweet. I've come to peace with the fact that developers do this to skim as much $$$ as possible ( YES, even your favorite dev... ).

 

[KАRАMBA]

OK, Well, maybe it's too early to despair, after all, he says he has a good flow, he work very methodically, feel motivated, and he making good progress daily. Perhaps we should believe in the best ? Good...

 

[Jamez999]

There are 7 episodes left (to achieve the 16), at this pace, it will take 5–7 years at least... considering that the first release was in February 2019 (9 episodes + interlude in 4 years and 5–6 months), the quality is increasing, the amount of renders too, so yes, if nothing changes, it will be in 2030... MORE THAN A DECADE.

Let's not think about the numbers, because they hurt

 

[Darkwen]

Can it be done? Maybe. Will it be done? Nope.

DPC has slow down a great deal could he get it up and running again sure. DPC treats this as a big AAA game so until his cock suckers riot and keep rioting nothing will chance

 

[hakuna-matata]

This is why I only pay for a game when it's completed. DPC and all the developers who use Patreon have zero incentives to work faster, better, etc.... because there are suckers out there. You have retards still giving money to that scammer, whatever his name is, who hasn't produced a game in over 2 years.

 

[ProxyGist]

Honestly 1000 renders isn't that much. A render is essentially any action. For example, in episode 9 there were scenes where characters had different reactions and facial expressions depending on your words/variables. Sage reacted differently to whether you called Zoey a friend or an ex-girlfriend. Or for example one scene shot from different angles is also different renders. We don't know how he counts the number of renders. The hardest part is the rigging/posing. In Daz it's incredibly awkward and wooden, the same goes for lighting. I haven't seen such slow gizmos as in Daz anywhere. Dr. Pink once said in a Q&A that he agonized over needing MC to carry a sword around with him at all times. Daz doesn't have fucking snap like Maya or Blender.

It's just 1 human being, not a team.
Most VN's releasee small 10 minutes updates, created over couple of months.
while this VN gets a much bigger update.
Depending on how you process you could enjoy it for a few hours instead.
unless you rush wanking through the VN.

If you're a 1 man army then think like it, don't just put all your ideas into 1 episode, alot of people actually doesn't care about minigames but he's working hard on them. I don't care that much about animations & using same render or super high quality renders.
I've been playing S1-S2 for different routes and all but hell they came in what max 6-7 months ? They're fucking good and long enough and renders are good like i said i don't care that much about quality or quantity as long as they're not that bad.
I just want an episode like 7(which is best in my view) i don't want some big freeroam or 8K renders.

If you want to make big episodes with BIG NUMBERS just make yourself a team or buy more render machines we all know he has the money to do that.

 

[hamod]

Her tits are just the right size and shape, and natural. Just yummy.


I don't agree with this. The man could love his daughter (she surely seems to believe it), I won't argue that point. But we still haven't seen enough flashbacks of Quinn's past to actually support the point you are trying to make in the part I've marked in bold.


It's not the first time I state this. But WTF does "being inherently evil" mean anyway? You actually believe that kind of cheap bs? There's no such thing. Or do you actually believe that when we are born into this world our future deeds and our fate are already written and set for us? Come on, dalli, don't say that kind of nonsense.

Absolutely. Isn't it attractive? The challenge, the idea of bringing down the walls that they (the tsundere LIs) put between themselves and you.

The game is under active development. And you can follow its updates here. In the OP, you'll find links to download the game and play it.

This week I started by working on some time-consuming art I had postponed but wanted to complete soon.

I updated my planning and flowcharts, played and polished parts of the episode, and wrote much of the missing content.

I have a handful of scenes left to write and a handful of lewd scenes that need animations. 20 scenes of varying length, including two free-roam events, need static renders. The range per scene is likely 20-200 static renders, so it's hard to tell how many renders are left to make. In my mind, it's at least 1000 more.

I have some important scenes left to create, and they will get the attention they deserve. There are other tasks I won't list left too. I'm considering making a checklist of what's left when we get closer.

The static render count is at 4267, and next week I will focus on it again - hopefully giving it a good bump. I'll have another preview ready for you soon. The animation queue is solid enough to last at least another week before I need to work on animations again.

I have a good flow, work very methodically, feel motivated, and am making good progress daily.

Have a nice weekend.
Dr PinkCake

My guess we are all waiting for some spinning wheel animation or panning the living room or bus going down the road animation.

While I get your point and follow a similar philosophy as yours for the most part, the truth is that in the end the platform used to sell and promote your work is not as important, because it's actually in his patrons' hands that he or any other developer who rely on that platform start being more practical and delivering on a more regular basis. It's as simple as canceling your subscription and putting pressure on the dev by doing so.

Well... you may be right about the mini games, personally not my favorite either.
Simple Free roam like before is okay tho. not like the halloween party episode.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

We're getting something, at least. Ocean is just delivering us the remaking of the remaking of the remaking of a sack of blueballs.

And also talk about German bureaucracy and how his $5000 Ada RTX 6000 with 48GB of memory can't handle rendering in every status update.

It doesn't matter because We are Proud Pirates, at least I'm .
but that 13.000 Patreon willing to stand and give him money for a whole year, without receiving anything, but this offensive Status updates, is suprising. You can bet, that if he returned from his vacation and notices that his Patreon went belove 10.000, there would not be 1000 more render in the pipe line
it's not even a question let alone a Joke anymore, that he is a Lazy Milker MotherFucker

Chip at first months of development: DPC doing great things, everything is okay.

Chip at late development: DPC is Lazy Milker Motherfucker

Seriously though, I stopped worrying about development timelines because I can't influence them. Will be ready earlier - ok, a month later - ok. This guy can't be influenced by anyone, so I put up with it. If I lose interest in this game sooner or later, the world will not stop there.

OH i literally dig those they give nice pacing and all but BIG freeroams like EP5-9(when in M&J path liked 8 dorm party but without that route it was shit in my taste) i hate em

No, I didn't said, he did great, don't mischaracterized my comment. I said if something major happened he would make an emergency status update..
Even then he was a LMMF

Emergency, do you mean something like scammer dev case year ago?

 

[Jamez999]

I never played mini-games, but i can understand the point of making them.

Free-roams and mini-games make BAD a choice based game +++. There are a lot of branches to open and so, more ending to complete. In the end, i won't be surprised if there will be more than 30–40 endings. It's the choice of the dev.

BAD is like GTA games, the 5 is out from 2013, it's more than 10 years and the 6 isn't out yet. Rockstar Games did choose quality (like the 900 millions budget for RDR2)

So like GTA6, BAD is a high quality game, very focused on the details, and as much as possible "an open world" game (i'm talking about the increasing amount of Free roams, mini-games and branches)

It's very annoying for the players, but, what can we do, other than waiting ?

Agree, as much as we whine and bitch about DPC, he's going to have it his way we can't do anything but wait, us whining isn't going to speed up the game. His patrons aren't going to pressure him as much as people want them too, they wont. Just have to wait, some things in this world are out of your control.

Emergency, do you mean something like scammer dev case year ago?

Yes, He was not able to work, properly for days, from the emotional stress that thing caused him.
