The truth is always hard to swallow. It was a meaningless think no one except him wanted and I will stand by this decision XD

7-10% is a big thing, didnt expect that those renders took that long.

Either way, really happy about this news.

Nah, I meant if that's actually true. He has no reason to lie and I don't believe he is a liar. I just think he tends to "embellish" things sometimes.
Still, no matter what I'm just saying that ANY cuts he makes to superfluous content is a plus. You picking up what I'm laying down, good sir?

 

[allanl9020142]

he's about to meet a teacher who has molested him in the past,

Jade could tickle my balls with her feet any day of the week.

The point has been made hundreds of times though, there's no point making it again.

The simple fact is that at the moment it does seem the interlude has been a waste of time but that can't be known for sure until Zoey comes into the main story and we see how the choices made for Zoey change how she influences Fuckface (and potentially the other girls too) within the story.

Zoey is filler and only there to cause conflict where there is almost none anymore. I compared this before with a JDRAMA. At first you get to knw eachother than you are in love and everything is fine until the EX shows up for one of these people. Sometimes it is even both of them one in the middle and the last on during the climax.

WE have 2 Seasons of established characters with a lot of conflict potential. We have the drug stuff, We have BEklla and Jill, Maya and family and so on. Who really is intersted in another girl that was potrayed as narcisttic selfish and egoisticial and only comes back because she fucked up

If DIK Zoey doesn't get into a cat fight with a Main LI, I'm going bananas.

I've said this before to other people in a similar situation and I'll say this again to you.

Are you so arrogant that you presume nobody can think differently and actually finds the interlude not a waste of time? Or are you so narcissistic that you presume your subjective opinion is the objective truth and that you speak for everyone and no one could have thought differently?

I mean there are people out there drinking bleach as a challenge and shit so I wouldn't be surprised...
Interlude was a waste of time though. It could have been redeemed imo, if DrPrickC*nt had included say, a house fire scene, where we can have the chance of saving Jill, Zoey or Bella from burning to a crisp or just leaving all 3 of them there to die a slow, painful death. As I did for the abhorrent ME3 ending, I would pick option 4 and go about my day, happy and fullfilled.

 

[LMMFAO]

I can't say that I was a huge fan of the Interlude. But I can also say that I didn't hate it either.

 

[crabsinthekitchen]

if we nver had the interlude we would have been playing this episode already

more like if we never had the interlude, we'd have an hour long flashback scene of everything that happened there and the development time would still be the same

I'm interested. So, there. You'll have to live with the knowledge an episode of porn game is getting released later because DPC has catered to my interests over yours.

Every year around this time, I review my Patreon page and make changes to my tiers. This year, I have no changes to any tiers below $75, but I've made a tough decision regarding the $75, $100, and $150 tiers.

If you're not pledging or planning to pledge those tiers, there's no relevant information below.

I have decided to discontinue the monthly Custom render reward starting January 2023. This means that the orders requested in November will be created and posted in December, and that will be the end of this reward.

The changes will be reflected as follows:

DIK Vice President (and above)

• Added: This is an additional support tier for those who would like to contribute extra.
• Rewards from previous tiers
• Removed: Access to recent Custom renders
• Removed: Each month, participate in entering suggestions for custom renders. 4 out of all entries are handpicked and produced for the following month. There's a chance that the produced renders will appear in the game.
• DIK Vice President role on the DrPinkCake Discord server.

To further explain my reasoning behind this decision, creating 12-16 high-quality renders per month has become a considerable task.

Creating new environments for one-time use, buying assets, posing the renders, rendering, and distribution are eating up 7-10% of development time every month.

36 months of custom orders have yielded 513 unique custom renders, meaning I have way more than enough Custom renders to last the remaining Pack Quests of Being a DIK.

Going forward, I want to put that time back into game development.

I hope that those affected understand my reasoning behind this decision.

I understand if any Vice President or DIK President tier 1/2 would now want to lower their pledge unless you feel you still want to contribute extra to the game development.

The final chance to order Custom renders for December is

t; I'll treat this last order with even more respect than usual. If you're sitting on ideas that are too good not to be made, throw them in there now. Since it's the last time, you may submit more than one request.

Thank you to everyone who has submitted an order in these tiers during these last three years, and I hope you have enjoyed the custom renders.

All the best

Credit where it's due, canning the customs is a sensible move. They're great for those that get them every month, I'm sure, but clearly in the nice to have category (except for the Quinn ones, which are of course essential).

That he's looking for ways to free up more of his time to focus on the meat of game development is definitely encouraging. It hints at someone who's probably been a tad more bothered by the length of the development cycle this time than his "it takes as long as it takes" comments have sometimes suggested. I hope he goes further and really asks himself some tough questions about time and resources in episode 10, but for now this is a step in the right direction.

 

[PleaseBih]

Quick question, has there been any updates since the interlude?

some bugfixes, some music change

nothing important

I'm glad Zoey is back. I'm not interested in any of the main girls, so if it wasn't for her, I'd just fuck every side girl I like for the entire game. And with her, at least there's a choice. There are side girls with relationship potential like Quinn and Lily, but it's unclear if anything serious will come of it.

I can kind of see a relationship potential with Riona for a couple reasons:
Talking to her at HOT place on Sage path in Ep.4
Telling her about DIK Cathy drama if you tell her the truth, in ep.5 she will tell that the truth about Quinn needing money.
Helping out her with money
trusting MC with her being followed
Kissing him after helping her out
Hell, I can see her maybe telling him about Quinn's side business in the future if she trusts you.

Then the funny moments when MC teases her for having thing in order and then her getting back at MC at the end of #8 was fucking funny.

Quinn, Lily, Riona and Nicole (the most likely ones). 5 main girls and Zoey. I think it's too complicated, but I'm all for it.

I know you've explained it several times, you go on and on about it like a broken record. There are hours and hours of things to talk about in this game, some great, some less so, but you are so fixated on 3 little words.

What's wrong with him reacting the same?. If I stub my toe, I go, "Fuck!". If I forget my mobile and have to turn the car around and get it, I go, "Fuck!". If a car rear ends me while I'm waiting to turn a corner, I go, "Fuck!" If I go outside the lines in the BaDIK drinking game for the third time in a row, I go, "Fuck!"

See what I mean about the versitility of that one word? Now the mc, like many people, is more dramatic than me, so when he's panicking, he goes, "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck." regardless of the severity of the situation. Big. Fucking. Deal. Get the fuck over it. "Fuck!"

You may manage to cow Felice with your linguistical mastery, but I'm not so easily mollified and assure you I can complain about the ending just as loudly.

First, because you're wrong. The MC gives no less than 6 fucks in a row in that sequence. That's not the way the word is used to express surprise or relief, which are the responses an MC who ignored Jade *should* have in this situation. That's the response to a Very Bad Situation(tm), which this is nowhere close to being.

Second, because as we inexplicably need to keep saying, the MC's response doesn't change *AT ALL* when he just dumped Jade to date her daughter. You say "fuck" is a versatile word, but that versatility is supposed to be accompanied by a change in tone or emphasis. DPC has already demonstrated he's capable of conveying that sort of nuance in this game so he could have done that here. Instead he thought everyone would be so wowed by his shocking twist [sic] that they wouldn't notice him cutting corners (no doubt to save time for that extra Madame animation). Well fuck that noise: I noticed.

Incidentally, I'm afraid I'm going to have to revoke your fuck license until you can brush up on the basics.

Not really a major change, but count me in the camp that approves of any indication DPC is trying to trim the fat from the production process. It's just a shame this couldn't happen before the King got banned.

Is Riona getting a pass just because shes not in charge? Or just because she is more fuckable?

Yes.

I don't see Nicole but like a friends-with-benefits type of situation.
