VN Ren'Py Light of My Life [Ch.8 v0.8.2] [Naughty Road]

[naughtyroad]

(...) and I'm only counting the writing, that must be about 30% of all the work (...)

You're not far off, I'd say I spend a third or so on writing, post work and putting the images into the scene and adding transforms/animating them, so on it's slightly less, but the creating (not rendering out) of the scenes in daz is the biggest timesink by far.

I wonder...Do the loading times for toons bug you as much as rendering times? My 3070 does pretty well painting up a scene, but the more products I buy from Daz the slower it gets.
Almost wants me to build a PC with Daz studio and only load in the toons I always use. Daz Studio could use a boost!

Yeah. One of the things is that every property slider that gets added to your genesis figure by a product ends up being saved on it, and that can add up, especially as there's conflicts or errors in there I guess, that might be clogging up your log file with hundreds of lines for a character, which you'll never see or notice.
But I found one of the biggest time sinks in loading is LIE (layered image editor) stuff, where for instance you have tattoos added to a skin, or makeup. In daz, they end up as a layered image, and for some reason, those characters tend to load a lot slower (the LIE editor window itself is also pretty slow to load usually, so I guess that's related).

Forte is an italian word which means strong. If you use the speakers on google translate on the italian side on the left, it will tell you how to pronounce it.

You must be registered to see the links

In french, we don't say Fort, we say Force. It's not my strength would be "Ce n'est pas ma force", which is pronounced like in english. Fort in french is an adjective and we are using it as a noun in english, so it would be force. But we use Forte, ultimately.

There is no case of Forte which is pronounced Fort.

As italian I would like to add: "forte" is used also like the english meaning of "cool", when something is exciting or amazing.

LOL, some additions to the ignore list are such no-brainers. For some reason I feel compelled to re-share this wallpaper for the amusement of you all.

Ah i remember this one. Still holds value to this day. Thats kinda awesome but also sad. But more awesome than sad.

Also what is this "chill bruh" thing? Feels like every toddler says that now or everyone from new jersey. Irritating as fuck.

Am I on the ignore list?

 

[polycentric]

sensitive

No, we're just tired of people parachuting into a thread about a VN that we love, made by a great developer, that don't bother learning anything about it or reading the first page before posting.

Am I on the ignore list?

You certainly are on mine, but I was stupid enough to click the link: "You are ignoring this member, show hidden message?". Why did I even do that? What's wrong with me? Why go to the bother of blocking a troll and then clicking on the hidden messages? I'm actually disgusted by my own behaviour. Anyway, don't bother replying as you are, as previously stated, blocked by me and likely by most other regular contributors in here.

dude, I deleted the post literally after the first person complained!
You're still upset?! at this point you're the one upsetting yourself, not me!

 

[Whiteleaf Studio]

This game is the greatest for me. It hits all the sweet spots...
I would put it close to DMD but it's better written I guess.

The problem was not your post per se....probably these dudes have been dealing with a few less polite complainers before and that's why they are so hasty to jump with the snarky comments, they didn't respond to you as a person but as the embodiment of all the people who just whines about the LIs not being conventionally hot... Is nice you decided to delete it when saw that's a touchy subject

I'm not upset at all. But we kinda start ridiculing and shitposting ppl who (like you did) can't read the OP and talk about stuff that will lead to the banhammer of Doom by the mods again. Including our awesome meme posts.

It is frustrating and annoying. But no one gets upset anymore. We ready a catapult and deal with the bears instead.
And before you start. All trebuchets are catapults. But not all catapults are trebuchets. Yes to us that makes perfect sense.

A few = hundreds.
less polite = absolute a...holes.
complainers = understatement of the century.

Your analazys is 100% accurate. I might add to that explanation also the fact that some of us even faced some problems with the mods when talking to those "certain individuals" cause it reached the point of some of us getting really angry with them by the sheer amount of Bullshit they talked.
Out of my head my favorite top 5.

1. Dev bad. Game bad. No fucky fucky or sucky sucky game trash 1 star review. (skippers mad cause can't read)
2. Dev milking game cause long updates. (Yeah Milk a Free game. How the f would that work?)
3. Women ugly. (Literally tons of pictures of real life macy and denise got posted in this thread and they all hot af)
4. Story is not exactly how i want it to be. (Dear Dev redo the game so its exactly how i want it.)
5. ..... the dev for not having my kink in this game (no words for this one..)

We had our fair share of (newbies) in here that got their acc banned faster than any of us could reply and we got some (newbies) in here who started shit posting, insulting the dev, implying illegal stuff etc. So the mods made clear we report and maybe are allowed some jokes and shit posts in between but thats it.

So we can discuss about story stuff or future elements of the game etc. but when a certain kind of individuals join the thread some of us go instantly ballistic in a funny way to deal with the issue at hand before we press the infamous report button who summons the balrog of morgoth.......

PS: Dear mods...... oh cmon you can't tell me that aint funny......

Any e.t.a. on next update? And to all the haters screw those trolls they can go somewhere else

The problem is the mods made this comment in the OP about delting posts made about the girls looks

a year ago because at that time everyone else was sick of the idiots.

It was clear the dev isn't going to change the looks and he gives zero fucks about peoples complaints. We don't want the looks changing and give zero fucks about peoples complaints.

So when someone turns up, 2 years after the game launches, and starts prattling on about bollocks we were done with a year ago, it tends to get pounced on.

What were they expecting to happen, have a string of people agree with them and point out what an awesome post they made?

Who do they think they are, me?



High key ego....

Being unique is a big part of what attracted me to this game. The fact that the Dev has made them so lovable is a huge bonus.
