Isn't that because they are fuck buddies then? She was pissed off when she heard the recording of Chad having phone sex with another girl. I think she would expect MC to be monogamous if they were to enter a genuine relationship.
I think it was in episode 6 in the library that Sage tells the MC that she isn't looking for anything relationship wise, she just gets horny and wants someone to ride every now and then.
I don't think it would seem forced.
usually when scandals like this come to light, rumours about possible clients start to circulate, no need for special evidence, just clues and confessions.
Yeah, the overarching 'bad guy' pulling the strings on everything has always seemed like an overestimation to me. As you say, it's more likely to just be different people doing different things that invariably end up coming back on the MC because he's the focal point of the game.
Most likely, which is why she shouldn't really be pissed if she were to learn he's humped and pumped his way through 2/3 of her HOT sisters before being a genuine couple, if they do become one.

I've been very focused this week, working on the episode in chronological order. I played the episode, filling in blanks and improving the scenes as I went. This means I've been working on static renders, animations, phone content, dialogue, and music/sound effects.
I spent an afternoon taking an online course to get some fresh insight and ideas in cinematography as well. As a direct result of this, I added close to 100 static renders to improve episode 7.
The episode's layout is starting to come fully together, and I more or less know which scenes remain to write and pose.
I don't have many animations left to pose in total; I might add a few here and there as I develop the rest of the episode, but we're definitely close to the end in this area.
The most significant tasks left in the development are free roam events, static renders, and phone content.
2457 static renders and 212 animations have been produced. I have animations rendering right now and bring the total animation count to 222 animations when they are entirely produced. I don't have an estimation on how many static renders are left to pose, but I know it's plenty.
I didn't expect the animated content to be this much, and I went with the flow as I posed the animations, and I loved every second of it. It's definitely a next level episode in this regard, as I've focused on NSFW animations and made plenty of SFW animations to enhance the scenes.
Next week, I will continue to work in chronological order on the episode, so there will be progress in all areas in the next week's status update as well.
For the total progress so far, I estimate that I'm approximately 60-75% complete with the episode.
Poll News
In poll news, option number 3 won the cosmetic poll for Maya, with more than 50% of the total number of votes.
It will be featured in episode 7.

As everyone has already noted, DPC skipped an update on the static renders even though they're the big outstanding item. Sigh. Well, I've updated the charts as best I can.You must be registered to see the links
The planned animations are fully rendered (222/222), but this count may increase before release if I want to add something for any scene.
Animations aren't the focus anymore, which frees up time for the rest of the development.
This week I mainly worked on the phone and special content for the episode.
Special content includes collectibles, galleries, and more, and I've been focusing on the Rooster and chat apps this week when it comes to phone content.
I completed the Special render series for Jill, an adventure theme this time around, and the series tells a short story if viewed from start to finish. I have a similar concept for Riona's special render series this episode.
I've implemented the Special renders and the 2D art in the galleries, and the lewd scene galleries are in place as well. I need to add some of the Special renders to the free roams that are left to create.
I've been ordering 2D art for a long time, and it feels great to be able to add it to the game as extra content. I went back and forth in the design of how to display the 2D art in the gallery, but I believe that I've found the best way for it with the current design. I'll be pleased to hear feedback on the 2D art implementation after the episode is released, as it's a bit different from other special renders.
I can't spoil what will be in the episode regarding mini-games, but I have worked on several of them this week, and I have a few left in need of content.
I need to work more on sound effects and music soon. Several scenes haven't gotten audio yet, so adding this is a near-future goal.
Other than that, I will be powering on with writing and art production.
Reporting on computer maintenance isn't that fun, as it doesn't bring direct value to the game development, but I had to do something this week as my main PC was running out of disc space. I have now upgraded my SSD discs, made proper backups, and did some overall PC cleaning and maintenance.
With this upgrade, I'd be shocked if I had to worry about disc space for the remainder of the creation of Being a DIK.
I'll be posting a preview of Jill's special render series this weekend, and there will also be a poll for 2D art.

I bet that many of you wonder how many wallpapers remain in this series, and the answer is 8. So, you can expect four more weeks of wallpapers.
Enjoy and have a nice weekend!

I'm sure she's heard her HOT sister's being pumped and dumped, especially Melanie in the showers.
it's one thing to have sex with other girls, it's another to pay Sage's HOTs for sex.
I agree with you
Count me in,
I've long thought this was an indication that Bella used to be a lot more libertine back in the day. The extremely repressed persona we know and love is a result of whatever happened to her marriage. The question is what happens if we break through it: is Bella happy to be her old self, or are we reopening old wounds?I'm curious what exactly Tommy meant here, saying that he has heard that she likes it dirty.

That makes sense, though I'd bet on a group shot for the finale. DPC seems to like those. No idea how it will work in this style, though.
It's a very solid speculation. The biggest problem I see with it is that Troy is ALSO the best suspect for Chad's secret lover (part of the popular Gay Chad theory), but I can't see a way to mesh Troy being Chad's lover with Troy also being the blackmailer. He's a perfect fit for either, but not both. Since I think he solves more issues as Chad's lover, I tend to favor that theory.
Yes. Especially because that raccoon showed me her house and I pictured myself grilling burgers on the back porch so I told Jill that Derek started the fire.
I've always assumed she was into butt stuff. In fact she'll probably give up the rear before we get the minge. What concerns me more is where/how Tommy heard this. Bella is rarely discussed and often avoided by the students (the first part is bizarre to me, the second is understandable), so how did this rumour start?I'm curious what exactly Tommy meant here, saying that he has heard that she likes it dirty.

Clearly no one on campus other than James and MC have sampled the goods, so did James kiss and tell?That's always pissed me off. We have no control over that and it just seems out of character for both (MC to do it and Bella to allow it). Even if she doesn't know about it at the time, she should have found out eventually and yelled at MC, but nope, nothing.
Agreed, however at the time MC took Quinn's number for the restaurant, he wasn't in full manwhore mode yet. He had just arrived on campus and wasn't slaying puss left and right. Had he even gotten his first conquest yet at that point? Not counting Zoey?
No, at least not yet. It's possible there could be solo routes later on if M&J break up on the non-throuple path, and it may also happen on the throuple path since there is a mention of the 'Josy centric' and 'Maya centric' routes in the walkthrough, but right now you're only options are stay friends or be in the throuple.
Rusty posted a picture of it before on his Rooster but it never got a response from Tybalt. It would be funny if it did get a response this time and if one of those Tybalt trolling accounts is in there too, but we'll just have to wait and see.
generally it seems that Roster is made for a laugh and has no relevance to the story.
That completely slipped my mind. I don't think there will be consequences, because Derek already posted a rooster of that deer and nothing happened. Rooster is just a bonus for comedic relief.
That is true, but by taking the number MC basically admits he doesn't believe he'll be able to get the pussy by himself. That he need help and that he need to pay for it. To me, such lack of confidence is exact opposite of what a DIK character would be.
And also that somehow doesn't get circulated round B&R and ruins Bella's reputation just because it's optional based on one path.
A DIK character would happily accept that number. It's not about "confidence" (and who says a CHICK character can't be confident?), it's about getting easy access to puss, even if you have to shill out a few bucks for it. DIK characters perfectly fit that M.O.
