It is my absolute pleasure to announce the Patreon release dates for:
View attachment 2215028
Being a DIK - Episode 9: Vixens (v0.9.0)
  • Huge DIK ($25+) tiers: Friday, December 16th
  • DIK ($10+) tiers: Monday, December 19th
  • Mini DIK ($5) tier: Friday, December 30th (Patch only, needs Season 3 base game to play)
Beta testers are currently testing the new version and are working hard to ensure that the release is a smooth experience for every player. And my proofreader is combatting typos in the episode.

There will be a patch with a file size of ~4.95 GB.

And there will be a full version, including the Interlude, with a file size of ~7.26 GB.

If you don't know how to patch your game, I recommend downloading the full version.

There will be clear instructions in the .zip file telling you how to patch your game.

Due to this highly anticipated release, my time to aid with installations and issues will be extremely limited.

Please, join my Discord server to get faster help with any problems during the release.

Make sure you treat Season 3 as a stand-alone game and don't merge it with Season 1 or Season 2 data.

Merging the game with Seasons 1 and 2 will corrupt both games.

I will not assist with errors and re-downloads due to faulty patching.

So, please make backup copies of your games before you attempt to patch them.

This is the preliminary changelog for v0.9.0.

Changelog v0.9.0
Added Episode 9, which includes:

  • 5036 renders
  • 303 animations
  • 12 2D-art pieces
  • 5 2D-art animations
  • 30 songs
  • 13 sound effects
  • Fixed an issue where the setting to only show the close button in the rewards app when hovering caused a traceback error.
  • Corrected typos
  • Added Rollback Side option to Dialogue tab in Preferences.
  • Removed 6 songs due to a band's wishes. Favorite lists are reset as a result.
  • Overhauled the main menu music player
Let the countdown begin.

Love

I think its more than a couple of days its something over a week till scrappy makes his mod, tho i don't care cuz i play the unmodded version and i only mod my game so i can unlock the gallery... i only need the hack that allows me to play with my modded saves:sneaky:
9 months between them... :KEK:
I think I remember scrappy only taking a few days for the initial mod update for ep 8. Also only a few hours for the hot fix. Gonna be busy up until that weekend but it's going to be worth it when I have the 16th - 18th wide open.

I like it. Quite a possible explanation. But even so it also doesn't mean that Envy is not a druggie. She can be regardless. We simply do not know for whom exactly(from Pink Rose's girls) Lily is buying drugs.
Isn't Lily just buying weed in the game? There was maybe one scene with a syringe but that was Tommy and Quinn. I mean, yea weed is still a drug but I don't think it's enough to consider someone a druggie. They'd have to be doing some pretty hardcore shit to make me think that.

Huzzzah! Our long night is finally drawing to a close.

For the record - assuming DPC has now completed the last of the artwork - he finished 162 static renders in the last 31 days (an average of ~37/week), and 9 animations in the last week. Overall, he averaged roughly 128 statics and 7.7 animations per week between the launch of the Interlude and today (though it will drop to 123/7.4 per week by the time Episode 9 is actually released). Here are the usual charts:

It's been real, bro. I've enjoyed following your updates along this long, long-ass journey. (I even managed to understand what the hell I was even looking at around July lol)
I'm sure you'll like it. Even if the gripes I had with the previous episode remain, it's still a continuation to the main game after over a year after all. LOL.

i thought about doing a fresh playthrough before the new episode, as i thought it would be fun to see everything fresh again. but damn there is almost too much to actually get through lol (even with minigames off). i just got through the CUM-petition and im not thrilled about how much more i'll have to go through just to make the limited major decisions that influence future content.

i kinda wish DPC would implement something like Genesis in Mass Effect 2 did where you are given a template where you can choose all the major decisions your MC made previously and just jump ahead in the story gameplay wise. like how much more convenient would that be?

i already have my save files ready so i dont need to actually finish this new playthrough, but im kinda surprised how tedious it is starting from the beginning. decades from now when the game is 100% complete, i cant imagine plaything from the very beginning. its honestly almost too much stuff to get through if you are actually interested in the story itself
Yeah, I was tempted too, then I remembered what a slog it is.

Don't get me wrong, the game is a masterpiece. But the problem with every detail and decision mattering is that on subsequent runthroughs are a punishing waste of a player's time.
I did a complete play through earlier on in the year, minigames, maxed out wallet, made sure to respond to all the optional messages, checked out all the rooster posts, responded to them all, swyped the shit outta everyone, found all the renders (including the pixel hunt), unlocked all the scenes, and yeah, while I still found it fun, it took up a lot of time; I don't know how many hours, I probably should have timed it, but I think it took me over a week to get through it.

Couldn't do that too regularly, but even with the novelty of playing for the first time gone, I didn't find myself getting bored. This is where I disagree with people saying DPC's writing is not that good. The "story" may be nothing special, but the "writing", i.e. the words, the character interaction etc., make it so easy to get absorbed into.

The only thing I avoid like the plague is the plague infested Madame. Imagine if, instead of creating a highly detailed festering old cum bag, DPC created an absolute goddess of an 18 year old, and even allowed the mc to build up a rapport with her. He should have made the VIP pass decision difficult.

I really don't understand this guy and his dictator ways.....
I get him hating on F95, it's a pirate site with downloadable mods and shit, but reddit? Reddit actively discourages piracy of the game. But anyway, I'd rather just play his game and not give a fuck about him. I was gonna invite him to Christmas dinner, but I'll just invite his wife instead. :sneaky:

i definitely dont have it in me to do all that lol again. i definitely agree the writing is good and i do enjoy the world he has made, but i just kinda wish there were some available shortcuts for people who would want to see all outcomes (or just dip their feet back into the world without diving all the way into the deep end) without literally replaying the entire game from scratch when the game is just so massive.

i genuinely cant imagine playing it from the start with the intention of seeing everything the game has to offer after another few years of content. id only have that kind of time if i was back in highschool or college with no other real responsibilities or obligations lmao. i wouldnt want it to take months on end for me to get through what amounts to a well realized porn game; it would be like watching American Pie for 5 min per week until its over and thinking it was overall a good way to experience that kind of story :Kappa:

is this the very fist instance in the game where the illusion of choice is made known? (for the obvious reason of future drama)

"Tell her what you know" is a total non-answer and MC does not actually implement the player's choice.
may I offer you some world famous cupcakes-of-choice to ease the pain? :HideThePain:

I do agree, however, I was always pissed that fuckface gives maya half an answer
"she's bad"
oh wow no shit fuckface, I didn't see that for myself

This is the first reveal that MC is truly Neil's son - can't remember shit for his life.

It wouldn't be impossible to create a standalone tool that builds your export from the end of Season 2, the only problem is there are over 600 variables that are exported, and having to answer them all would be boring as fuck. I'd rather just play the game again! :ROFLMAO:

I dunno, I seem to recall thinking that mc said fuck all when I first chose that option, however what he says, while a little vague, does sound alarming:

mc "Don't trust Quinn, Maya."​
my "What?"​
mc "She's evil!"​
my "Evil? Come on, she's just a bit...rough around the edges."​
mc "Nope. EVIL. I know what she does with her girls."​
mc "She uses them to earn money."​
my "Uses them how?"​
mc "Just...don't trust her, Maya. Please!"​
my "Maybe I could talk to Sage, instead?"​
my "She seems kind of cool."​
mc "Yes! Sage! Do that!"​
mc "Just not Quinn!"​

I mean when the mc says, "She uses them to earn money", and Maya is like, "Uses them how?" The mc should have said, "Who are you, Jill? What the fuck do you think? I just told you she was evil and she's using the girls to make money, do I need to spell it out for you, you dozy cunt?"

Finally, I could see the reaction of jade when she heard that mc was Sage's new boyfriend ( step-daughter). And, the previous situation was that the relationship between Jade and MC was break up partially, which makes her upset. So there is a possible opportunity for Jade to convince Sage to allow her to be included into the relationship between Sage and MC.

What are you going to do about it at this point?
I already have a steam review on this game that states it is quality, but update speed crawled to a near halt. It's not recommended.

That's about all I can do, and I already did it.
Anything else you can think of doing is simply post 2010s twitter-rage bullshit. Pointless.

If the doctor looks like this in real life with a cake head and a body like that

I forgive him everything
Really? I don't see any blue hair. Or is that minty-green cake close enough? :p


I'm not here to brag about how much I love this game. I'm just posting this to make sure I'm not crazy.
View attachment 2214958
This is the PT's which I have now. and also several other branch saves. ( The season saves named MAIN is- CHase after every girl and choosing the named path. only means dedicated path.)

I started playing BAD when the EP7 dropped. This was my 3rd AVN (After Milfy shitty and AOA Academy). I liked it so much that I played the Modded version on my phone. Only 3 saves ( Dik, Chick and Neutral).
Then EP8 dropped
in EP8 we can choose a path so I decided to play dedicated PT's for the main girls.
and I bought a PC for just to play this game. and I played from the start and had 6 PT's.
but I did that using Walkthrough mod. The Mod messed up my saves and I decided to delete all the saves (again) which I had then and started fresh again by re-installing the game.
and I reached where I'm now.

So. My question is, The people here is like me?
I never get bored by doing it. I have planned to play it again right before playing EP9.
I discussed this with my friend and he called me crazy.
I just want to know That I'm not the only one
Season_2_export_save_screen.png
I don't get bored replaying the game, but I do get weary. I really didn't like the way Season 2 ended. I had a 'chase all the LIs' run that I'd planned to import once for each branch, but in the end it didn't seem worth the effort. I'd worked hard to see just about everything prior to that, but not only is it getting harder to track all the variations, I'm skeptical they're really going to matter as anything more than curiosities. On some level it's cool the way the new math teacher can be beaten up or not depending on our past decisions, but that's no a substitute for the invariant "Fuck. Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck. Fuck" at the cliffhanger. :mad:

Unless Episode 9 really hits it out of the park, I suspect I'll treat BaDIK like most of the other games I play: stick to the content that interests me and ignore the rest. Maybe I'll fill in the rest during the long development time, but that's not something to be enthusiastic about IMHO. :(


In honor of having a release date, what's everyone's favorite episode so far? I've always been partial to 3 and 7. Episode 3 has always been one of me favorites because it was the last episode we had with Maya alone, ever since then I've had to share her with Josy.

And 7 because it felt like the most inclusive to every character.
Best to worst, I'd rank them as follows: 2, 3, 7, 4, 1, 6, 5, 8. (The Interlude isn't really comparable, but I suppose it would be dead last if I had to place it).

In general I disliked Season 2 because it felt like we were spinning our wheels for most of it; we got lots of sex scenes, but the story stalled and the character notes were either repetitive (Maya/Josy or Bella) or nonsensical (Sage or Jill). The early episodes did a much better job mixing story and character development while also providing plenty of lewd material.

Another one bites the dust(30$ a month). I just found this on Reddit. Poor guy/girl. lol

View attachment 2216003
Yeah well, what should i say, iam one of those "victims". Posted on discord some walkthrough for episode 7 shortly after release, cause the official one wasnt made back than. But it wasnt the official one... so, yeah... boot met ass, and thats it. (at least thats the reason for the ban i think... DPC doesnt give you a reason, so dunno exactly)

DPC sure has a very short fuse kicking sups out of patreon... mention anything DPC has not done himself? Obviously a bad thing. Talking about other sites to get maybe other download links than the one from patreon, even if you are a sup, bad thing... and so on. Sometimes i think, the effort he put behind it to kick many people for something like that should be more used due to development... but, yeah... being a dik is a great game, DPC is making a really good job developing this game. But as a person... i think... well, he is a dik ^^

but i have a second patreon account, he lost me as a sup during development though. dont like this kind of short fuse and behaivior, whats the point? There wasnt any harm done? Dont get him sometimes *shrug*. Now i just pledge when a update is coming out and cancel again after downloading it. To be fair, i didnt do that for the interlude, cause it wasnt worth it.

For the user in the reddit posting. Well, obviously DPC doesnt care for the money (he has more than enough income anyways) luckily there are sites like F95... its not like that DPC can prevent others to play his game by just shut them out of patreon, he should know that... the only thing happening? DPC loses some money. But nevermind... DPC sure is a strange fellow as a person, no doubt about that.

I'm in the same boat. I really hated how MC handled breaking up with Jade via phone (felt too out of character). While I'd love the threesome option, I'm pretty sure Jade will use the awkwardness of the situation to get with the MC one last time or possibly through some stat convo checks, you might be able to do some damage control.

Either way, you know she's gonna put her hands on MC during that dinner and make a 'son' joke to mess with his head.
