Well seeing as both her parents work at the school it's no like you can't see each other off campus.. I don't think either of them go to work by helicopter though i dont know that for sure.
I mean i assume she'll stay with them until she can find a job and save up money sense she wants to be independent of them and not ask for handouts.

Why do you immagine nobody tells her off on the prostitution + drug ring her HOTS are into?

She also "currently" loves them so I don't think she would try to move across the world from them her dad and mom are on a pretty high pedestal atm in her mind.

As it should be with everybody ... a boy”s love for his mommy is how MC mirrors that.

Do not get me started on his dad being MMa specialist ... whaaAAaaat???

I'm not assuming they won't haha im just saying it's a possibility And even if it does happen she doesn't have to get a job on the other side of the world to get away from them though to be honest i'd be disappointed if i was her. I couldn't hate them. If my real mom came home after killing like 7 hitchhikers and told me about in gruesome detail. Sure i'd be upset unnerved and sad but i know she loves me. I'd still love her and something tells me from the way Sage speaks it could end up being a thing of fixing her dad rather then abandoning him.

This last week was insane in so many ways. It was the most hectic and fun release so far. There are always going to be problems during releases, but it went relatively smoothly despite some hiccups. The game has gotten too big, both in popularity and file size, to distribute to patrons effectively. It's a wonderful problem to have.

Each server used was struggling all week long, and it was exhausting trying to deliver the update in a timely fashion. I apologize to everyone affected by the slow download speeds, file corruption, and waiting time; I truly did the best I could. The current download links are stable, and the server load has cooled down over the week.

It's comforting to know that Season 3 will be like pushing the reset button on the file size. So, the next download will be significantly smaller, and I will provide patches again in the future.

Make sure that you keep the game on your PC since Season 1 and Season 2 are considered complete now. If you want to replay episodes 1-8 in the future, you will need the 0.8.x version. There are still some bugs in the current version that I'm fixing, so a v0.8.2 will come out at some point, both as a smaller patch and a full download.

Thanks to everyone for staying patient before and during the release week! And a special thanks to patrons helping each other figure things out when I had to sleep. The beta testers, proofreader, admins, and moderators, also deserve huge thanks for their efforts.

Amidst the network issues and bug fixes, I haven't fully appreciated the feedback and overwhelming response you've sent my way. I've been feeling like a robot trying to put out fires as they started, but the impact of the release is starting to dawn on me.

All of your comments and praise humble me, making me very emotional to read your words. I poured my heart and soul into this episode - and I did so while mourning a tragic family event, but developing this game provided me with a distraction and kept me sane and healthy. And if that doesn't prove how much this game means to me, nothing will.

It's been wonderful to deliver the full second season to you, and I truly wish that all of you thought that the wait was worthwhile. Thank you for supporting and trusting me during the development months of episode 8 and for the incredible support during release. Not only did we become 15000 DIKs, but even 17000 in a matter of 4 days! That's nuts! You are amazing!

I want to celebrate these patron count milestones with you. I have something special planned for this occasion that I will share at a better moment.

In general, I have plenty of exciting news to share with you soon about everything that's coming up for Being a DIK, both in the near future and long-term.

You can look forward to posts including this and more:

  • What I'm working on
  • The upcoming Steam release
  • Season 2 patch information
  • The episode 8 walkthrough
  • Information about the Interlude
  • Patron milestone celebration
  • A new Q&A post where you can submit questions
  • Patreon tier changes
Posts may come somewhat irregularly as soon as I have something exciting to share, not just on Fridays, at least for a while.

Fun times lie ahead of us, and I'm so damned excited to start working on Season 3 - where both big questions will be asked and answered!

Right now, I'm going to power on with work.

Love,
Dr PinkCake

God, we didn't even know that one of his relatives had died. And he continued to work.

I hope this stops the "Season 3 will be the last" talks.
not really, cause he is always telling this, and sometime later other things ^^ Nothing is for certain. But its a mood boost to read this.

And hopefully it stays that way and we will get the next big update pretty quick...

But iam not very interested in the interlude so far, regarding that i think it will be just a short episode with Zoey being the main focus... cause i just dont care for her, and i think this interlude is meant to be to change that... just so she "deserves" a big part in the next episodes... but for me i am sure, this will not gonna work... i just dont want her in the game. and no matter waht, she will be a big distraction for all the other relationships that i really not want to have.

But anyways, its nice to read that DPC is enjoying the release and is excited to work on season 3 and even wants to dig in now... wouldnt be a surprise though if we will hear something like "hm iam thinking of doing something different" in about half a year :D

He said he would talk about Dik's future in the short and long term. I may be wrong, but maybe this is a hint that there will be spin-offs in this universe with other characters? For example, with Derek
