The hype is real now boys.

As long as 2020 doesn't end with a big bang and we live long enough to play .7, all the main girls with an extra long animation sounds absolutely delicious.

Lengthy post incoming. It's spoiler-free.

Please, don't post spoilers in the comment section. Many haven't played the latest episode yet.

General information
For you who have played the update, I hope you enjoyed it! It feels great to finally be able to release episode 6 to you.

A warm thank you to everyone for reporting bugs/typos that slipped through to release! It truly helps to improve the game. There was a patch (v0.6.1) for fixing some minor issues with the initial release, but nothing was game-breaking. Since the patch, multiple new typos and minor issues have been reported, but I'm waiting to see if anything worth patching comes up. If not, any additional changes will be included in the next major update (v0.7.0) instead.

Many of you are asking for an updated walkthrough and it will be available sometime after the $5 tier has gotten access to the patch.

For those of you in the $5 tier, or planning to pledge to get the patch, please note that the patch requires the Patreon base game to play the update. If you don't have Patreon version v0.5.0/v0.5.1/v0.5.2, you won't be able to patch your game. The Steam version does not work with the patch.

After every tier has gotten access to the game, new polls will start for episode 7. But I do have a new type of poll for you starting this weekend.



Episode 7 news
Development on episode 7 started during beta testing. The progress so far is:

575 static renders and 23 animations completed. The animation queue has an additional 19 animations waiting to render.

I've written about 30% of the content compared to Episode 6. I've yet to decide the scope of the episode. I'll keep you updated as always.



9000 patrons = Upgraded hardware
During release, I reached 9000 patrons. It's a huge milestone and I couldn't take time to celebrate it until recently. Thank you so much for your contribution!

Since I reached 9000 patrons I decided to do something big for the game and was very lucky to do so considering the circulating supply of GPUs.

All thanks to you, I've upgraded my hardware to the next-gen of GPU cards and I'm ecstatic about the gain in render speed.

I've measured up to a 173% increase in render times per PC. I see how my static render queue gets obliterated overnight and it's simply amazing. This will likely shift the bottleneck from rendering to manual labor. But to fully use the power of the new cards, I will use this gain to increase the overall render quality and animation length in future updates.

I will make sure that every main girl gets at least one extra-long animation in episode 7. You deserve it!

These cards have opened up new possibilities for me and for the game.

This wouldn't have been possible without your support and I'm happy to take any risks of this investment for all of you.

I've yet to see how this will impact my development cycle, but I can already tell it's going to be a fantastic improvement of the content in the game.

Once again, thank you!



2021 Patreon changes
With the new year, I will carry out some changes to the Patreon tiers, to improve the value for you as well as making my work easier.

Starting 2021, custom render orders will be selected from submissions from patrons in the unlimited $75 tier. Each month, there will be a post for the $75 tier where you can submit your wish for a custom render order.

At the end of each month, I will handpick 4 orders from this post to produce and publish them next month. Please note that there's no guarantee that your submission will get picked. However, the benefits of this are that more patrons will have a chance of getting an order made, I will have work waiting for me on day one each month and the custom renders will have a bigger variety.

The drawback of this is, of course, that the President patrons will lose the benefit they pledged for and it's not been a decision I've made lightly. But a lot of things have changed during the year I've been producing custom renders. My Patreon page has grown with ~7000 patrons since and it's clear that there are many out there who are waiting and deserve a chance to see their dream render come true.

I've been in contact with Patreon, to make sure that the tier reward is ok to do, and they have given me a green light for it.

I hope this will excite you about 2021 as much as it excites me.

I'll be posting the first post where you can submit your ideas in December, and President tier patrons will have their final custom render order in December as well.

Starting December, the President tier will be unlocked to become unlimited and it will, for the moment being, only exist as a tier for patrons wanting to show additional support.

I will open a tier for $150 as an additional support tier, too, since I've had patrons wanting to donate this amount and Patreon's current tier reward system doesn't allow for them to see the posts without having a proper tier.

Furthermore, I will be removing the Acting Lessons Lewd render sets rewards from the $15 and $75 tiers. When I offered them as rewards, I was being optimistic about the time I have available for extra activities. It feels bad to put a reward in a tier when it's not something that happens that frequently. I might still get around to producing these sets in the future, but I want to put that extra energy into the Being a DIK development.

To sum up, these are the tier changes, starting January 1st, 2021, at the latest.

$15 tier:


  • Removed reward: Access to small lewd sets of characters from Acting Lessons, 3 weeks after release.
$75 tier:

  • Removed reward: 3 weeks early access to small lewd render sets of characters from Acting Lessons
  • New reward: Each month, participate in entering suggestions for custom renders. 4 out of all entries are handpicked and produced for the following month.
$100 tier:

  • Removed reward: You can order one render per month from Being A DIK or Acting Lessons.
  • Tier becomes an Additional support tier, with all rewards from lower tiers.
  • DIK President Discord role
$150 tier (New tier):

  • An additional support tier, with all rewards from lower tiers.
  • DIK President II Discord role


I'll be posting the first preview of episode 7 before the end of the month.

Best regards, have a nice weekend, a huge thanks for the support during the release, and thank you for reading!

Honestly everything about this status update is amazing;

Already some renders&animations completed,
Insane increase to development speed by upgraded hardware,
Longer extra animation promise for each main girl at EP7, and much more.

I hope this will excite you about 2021 as much as it excites me.
It's very exciting news. I will bite the bullet and join in by pledging on December 1 it looks like. This really hyped me up. Micro DIK status here I come.

Brothers, the increase reported by DPC is massive, and when I read it I couldn't help but getting really excited about the development regarding the time between releases...In a development update some time ago, DPC said he learned some new things that will make things faster on that front...

What I'm trying to say is.....somebody do the math and estimate the ETA for the next release lol

I even forgot for a moment of the massive disappointment of having to choose between Sage and Jill for a moment... =P
Nah it won't be too significant. Still got to wait at least 4 months. But that's the cynic in me. He needs to gather a team.

am i the only one weirded out by MC's mother's tits? kind of unnecessary imo
Nah, I was a bit irritated by that as well and I recall quite a few people commenting on how weird that was as well. At least it didn't go any further than that.

In the next episodes We’ll se mc dad banging his mom hajaha
tbh. if that happened in an actual flashback, I wouldn't really have problems with that. In the EP6 scene it was just a teenager reading his dead mothers diary and probably trying to visualize what she must have looked like writing it. Made it really weird when her tits were just randomly out :ROFLMAO: For me it was more about the context being really weird and not really about it happening in general.

I'm gonna go with it was a flashback for the audience's benefit and my mc was oblivious to the extra skin on display - all he could see were words on the page. Either that, or missing a mother figure in his life has warped him a bit...

I'm almost, not quite, but almost caught up with the Dev on this game. Been playing a bit each time I get a chance to, and only have one more chapter left of what's available. However, just wanted to stop by say, this game surprised me, and in a good way. Didn't expect to see so much character development on this game. Just really started playing it with the 0.6.1 version, and I'm liking it so far. And my guess is Derek is the comedy relief, does crack me up at time. So, want to say incase they see this, well done Dev, and keep up the good work.

You're gonna have to go back to episode 3 where you spent the night with Maya, and then don't spend the night with her (since you do the handjob, thigh job etc with her, you don't repeat it with M&J). Personally I don't see why the three of them didn't just do it all anyway, just for good measure.

So you're saying you didn't just sit there and binge it like 10 hours straight?

a doubt that came to me replaying BADIK from the beginning: after the visit of Josy's father (proposal accepted by the girls), is it possible that by going to Maya we don't earn RP with her?

from walkthrough it would seem that by going with Maya we earn at most an RP but with Josy when she discovers them at the end, while going with Josy we can also earn 2 RP always with Josy

Good info from DPC, but I was hoping he would say no more D&G bull crap.
