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

[Geralt From Rivia]

Nah I don't think they asked for 50-100k, especially considering the band has broken up now. Like WCW used to pay 100k a year to the Jimi Hendrix Estate to use Voodoo Child for Hulk Hogan and that was a good deal because Eric was smart about it. You know how much does it cost to use 30 seconds of Voodoo Child today? Something in the 5 million range.

30 seconds for $5 million is definitely overpriced. It may be a very popular song, but this deal will not be profitable even for Rockstar Games or Activision

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Well, hoping these updated numbers gonna be impressive because it will be 4 weeks Friday without an update on them.
For a Mid-End October release we are about 80% done today with that estimate.

Hell yeah, he's back! I think we're golden

For the same reason you don't hear Michael Jackson songs on the radio that much anymore, licensing them for use is ridiculously expensive and not profitable in any way.

But Eric was smart with Voodoo Child, one wrestling hasn't reached it's peak yet, so the Jimi Hendrix Estate had no idea who Eric Bischoff or WCW was, so they agreed to 100k/year, and two - at that point Eric had 300-350 shows a year, so he just pays the 100k upfront and can play the song on every show and PPV. The result? In 1997 WCW turned in a profit of 50-70 million $ range.

"Compressed" is the key word which explains your problems.

Odd that it took up to the end of E7 to be an issue. I sure as hell can't waste 20GB of space on my tablet for one VN. Sounds like it's an issue in the Android build too for a couple other people too.

Try using It.

Sadly, that just breaks the game completely. I get a duplicate line error, or something. I pasted it in that fixes thread found in his sig.

The most frustrating thing is that the prices for copyright tracks are exorbitant for indie developers. For example, the Offspring songs are just perfect for the BaDIK vibe. But PinkCake will be forced to pay an annual income for their use.

DIKs, i have a question,
is there any way to cheat in the game or use console commands to get the 2 points necessary from practicing Jill's song and be able to help her at the recital?
I would start from episode 6 but going through the mansion repair again? man, what a chore.

You can use the attached editor to this post (just unzip and run it). Save the game right at the point where Jill says, "(Oh my God... There are so many people in there... It's almost full...)".

Then run the Save Game Editor and open the latest save file, uncheck "Hide Ren'py Dialogs" and search for the following variables:

• ep4_playedGuitar
• ep6_diks_guitar_event
• ep8_diks_guitar_event

and set them to "True" (you only actually need to set 2 of them).

Then choose "Apply Changes" in the editor and then reload your save in the game and you should be good to go.

Alternatively, if you can access the console, at the same point where Jill is freaking out, open the console and type:

• ep4_playedGuitar = True
• ep6_diks_guitar_event = True
• ep8_diks_guitar_event = True

Then continue the game.

Personally, I let her fail, for publicly dumping the mc in the future.

People seem to misunderstand my post, it seems to have snowballed into something else. It was strictly about income and what happened with the Prophets.

If I recall correctly from reading the post DPC himself had on this, he had written them to get the OK and they took 4 years to respond, at which point they simply said 'no', even though under the terms the songs are licensed, DPC has every right to actually use them. But they said no, and he's respecting that. Probably because they also come from his country, and maybe there's legal worries he wants to avoid.

Odd that it took up to the end of E7 to be an issue. I sure as hell can't waste 20GB of space on my tablet for one VN. Sounds like it's an issue in the Android build too for a couple other people too.

DPC doesn't code his VN to work on Android. He intended it specifically for the PC platform.

Personally, I let her fail, for publicly dumping the mc in the future.

But Shazba, if you help her, then Bianca and Amelia will see you being a badass, even if you get dumped. BRANCHING PATHS, BABY!

You told us that you merged the 0.8.x patch into the compressed version: this is the problem.

You can't, of course.

Anyway, mods, android and compressed versions aren't made by the Author, therefore as any OP post tells:

* This unofficial port/version is not released by developer, download at your own risk.

Yeah, I get that. I'm gonna futz around with this a bit longer. Was hoping there was some knowledge floating around out there regarding a fix. If worse comes to worst, I'll put it on my PC and connect to it via the remote desktop.

Jill: I have a present for you hehehe
AchedCroissant: Yes? Wich is the gift? (Oh my god, she will finally give me her butthole after 8 episodes of jerking me off thinking about Zoey, it was worth it)
Jill: Here ... I hope you like it

AchedCroissant: Oh Jill hehe I love it when you make that face (DAMN HOW I HATE WHEN YOU MAKE THAT FACE)

AchedCroissant: I'm glad you're my girlfriend I don't think there won't be any blue problems in the future and that I cheat on you with her BTW how is your friend Bianca?

Jill has one advantage over Zoey. You won't have to read a paid advertisement about a dead granny when you tit fuck her.

 

[NebulousShooter]

But no, the post he made said nothing about the Friday Prophets asking him for money - he has paid for plenty of songs.

Premiumbeats offer 5 free licensed songs per month at $65 subscription, he is definitely not breaking his wallet with the music so far. On the other hand is less insane than Drifty that was in talks for 10k for someone to make music for his next game, so there's that.

 

[BorgiaBou]

so something like $800,000 a year. Which is still just fine

Listen to this guy 800k is "just fine"...Jesus H on what freakin' planet you live where 800k is "just fine" and not screaming very RICH... he's making big ass CEO money and this guy says is "just fine"...

Why is she superior to every other LI?

Why is she the other top tier LI?

 

[znar25]

Wow, AchedCroissant , N7 , Himself Burned you , I dont even remember seeing him posting anything beside his usual, Status update post, or Renders, or updates. That's a Big deal, I'm envy of your privilege, the power of being a Zoey simp, huh?

 

[nyrek]

Listen to this guy 800k is "just fine"...Jesus H on what freakin' planet you live where 800k is "just fine" and not screaming very RICH... he's making big ass CEO money and this guy says is "just fine"...

what if the guy makes double that every year? maybe he just finds that sum sufficient enough to say it's "just fine", you can live with that

I make much less, but I can still say having 800k per year would be "just fine". a decent amount to fuel my everyday needs.

Why is she the other top tier LI?

2 wrong guesses already

 

[NebulousShooter]

2 wrong guesses already

Well my 3rd girl is Zoey, so I guess theres no winning with you.

 

[znar25]

Nah Sombo... sharing a crappy $30 picture of Jill you paid for is a far far 'graver' sin. DPC was your brother SOMBO! and you broke his heart this fake DPC is a nobody compared to your personal betrayal

I keep getting these subliminal messages that somehow, I want to go watch strippers after reading your posts.

 

[nyrek]

there's no winning with me ever
BUT
as I said earlier, this scene
definitely playing a zoey run after M&J

Your words speak of envy or hatred for successful people. Are you some sort of marxist?
