Yeahs it is the proportions. The model itself looks fine. The thing that is disconcerting is that the average bed height is 24 inches. Looking at the render it looks like she s roughly 120 inches tall (using the average 24 inches in height for a bed) which, in turn, makes the character model 10 feet in height.

Perhaps that is what is scratching at your mind.

I can't take credit for it, but here's one:

She's saying it because she's just met Nojiko and she thinks Nojiko is his biological mother.

As far as I could understand, characters' names are some sort of "literary" homage by the Author: they don't tell characters' ethnic origins.

I don't think that's the problem. Objects closer to the "camera" would appear proportionally larger than objects farther away.

My biggest issues with that render are 1) the lack of field of depth until you get to beyond the window; and 2) even though she's supposed to be standing on her toes, somehow it feels like she's levitated off the floor.

Of course you are correct on perspective. I had whole semesters on camera perspectives of a lens whilst an University. However, that is all negated by the (I assume to be) Wardrobe to the right. Average height of a wardrobe is roughly 210 cms using the lintel height of the doors. Also the bed looks to be no more than a couple of feet away.Basically what I am saying is. The size of the objects in the scene are not correct, at all, making the character seem larger. Even with perspective in mind. The whole thing is just ... Off.

What I think they may have done (looking at the lighting of the character) is Render out the background and then rendered the character using a different lighting set up with a transparent background. Then combined the images.Which would also account for th levitating look you mentioned. But yes, even a slight DoF would help to bring focus to the object of the render. Her!.

I don't think I've seen anyone mentioning it.
MC's nickname is Raven and in the WiAB MC's old room there is a picture of raven.

Thoughts?
Phoenix and Raven are often portrayed together. (the former symbolizes immortality while the latter symbolizes death and the afterlife)

Now few theories pop up:
  • It indicates their hair colours, Nami - Redhead & MC - Dark Blue Shade. (This one #192841 )
  • Nami is lively and cheerful like a Phoenix while Mc is gloomy and creepy like a Raven.
  • No hidden meaning, simply sounds cool and is a popular duo.
So why Nami calls MC 'Raven' specifically and not anything else makes sense.


Finding a relationship b/w both MCs through a mere photo and a random nickname feels far too stretched in my opinion.

Feels like Dallix moment :HideThePain:

Agreed on all counts. I only posted that for a chuckle. :HideThePain:

My thoughts? You read WAY TOO MUCH into things! :cool:
That seems to be a common thing. Being a Dik Reddit is notorious for people reading too much into things. Even though DPC explicitly stated it won't be dark as Acting Lessons was... People still, constantly, spew out all the dark theories. I think people forget they are just games with a loose narrative and bewbs. Mostly bewbs.

Bewbs? Tell me more about these... bewbs... I am intrigued! ;)

I agree, although to be honest, I was really pissed at the ending of Acting Lessons... I don't play these games to see that sort of ending. BUT, the fact that so many were upset about that is a testament to how well the Dev told the story as I really loved it and really liked the characters in it. I hope i don't see a repeat of such an ending. It may happen in real life, as he said, but this is not real life and I play these to get away from real life... but I digress. On a positive note, we have seen some great humour that references Acting Lessons in other games that gave me a chuckle.

A very pretty woman with very pretty little "bewbs", and impressive abdominals :) About the rest I don't follow, no idea of what "Acting Lessons" is :confused:

It's an older VN. I enjoyed it even though it's a bit of a gut puncher. not everyone's cup o' tea. But I enjoyed it thoroughly.
As for it's ending, I'll agree it wasn't the best, but I was ok with it.

it was a well made and very emotional ending... I understand why some people didn't like it, but I personally don't have a problem with it

I believe Ocean likes associating certain animals to some characters and raven would fit really well for SG's MC, even if a nickname told once in passing is not much to build a case.

Just for comparison, the Zane family (WiAB) is very tied to snakes:
  • William Zane (WiAB MC) has a pet snake, Gefritzel
  • Leia Zane's whole aesthetic is snakes
  • ZPR (SG's school, "Z" stands for Zane) symbol is a snake and it's everywhere
  • ZPR team is called the Sovereign Vipers
  • Ayua Zane drives a Dodge Viper
And probably others that I can't recall at this moment.

But that on the wall? Yeah, that's just a picture lol.
