All right, here we go. It's time for the final status update for episode 10.

Special Announcement
Today, I'm pleased to announce a collaboration with a punk rock band named Dirty Toy Company.

Dirty Toy Company has graciously provided songs for Being a DIK, and their song "Over the Horizon" will be the title song of Being a DIK - Season 3 going forward.

With a punk rock sound, full of heavy and melodic riffs with attitude, I'm proud to shine a spotlight on them in the game and have them elevate it with their music.

On top of "Over the Horizon", you will also hear their songs "Stand and Fight" and "Burn You Down" in the game - starting Episode 10.

Please show our new Maggot brothers a warm welcome to the DIK family.

You can support them by giving them a follow or stream on Spotify - all their social media links can be found

Beta testing
Beta testing started this week. Testers and proofreader are hard at work.

Bugs and typos are being found and fixed, and they have an extensive checklist of things to test.

It's too early to say how things are going, as they've only had their hands on the episode for a couple of days and have just scratched the surface.

Patch information
The full game .zip file (v0.10.0) will be roughly 12 GB and the patch hovers around 5 GB.

The patch will only work on v0.9.0/v0.9.1 releases - meaning that if you only have episode Interlude, you must download the full version.

If you don't know how to patch or if this will be your first Patreon release, I'd recommend downloading the full version, with episode 10, when it releases.

If you are patching, make backup copies of your game before patching. Never patch Season 1 & 2 with Season 3 files. Doing this will corrupt your game. Treat Season 3 as a separate game, and you will avoid these problems.

Preliminary Changelog v0.10.0
I only listed the new content in this section. The full changelog will be included in the release.

-- Changelog v0.10.0 --

Added Episode 10 that includes

5868 renders

335 animations

8 2D-art pieces

4 2D-art animations

31 songs

65 sound effects

Regarding the release date announcement
As this was the final status update for episode 10, my next communication with you will be the release date announcement. It will be a December release, and I will be able to announce the date sometime this month, so stay tuned for it.

Thanks for your tremendous support and interest during this development cycle!

Big or small donations, you guys who stick with me throughout these development cycles are the MVPs.

I hope you will enjoy the upcoming episode.

Love

New Music WooHoo!

 

[zackwilltop]

Really hope it's 1/12, just take a deep breath, we're so close right now

 

[19Castiel23]

A 12 GB episode from the 2nd episode of the 3rd season. The file size is terrible

 

[aykarin]

If DPC says it will be a December release and doesn't want to give the exact date even now, two weeks away from month's end, it means that it probably won't release on December 1st, unfortunately. I'd say that December 7th is the most probable date.

New Music WooHoo!

“Now when I say December, it means December 2025 by which time I will have finished the DJ minigame to better celebrate the new music.”

Nothing amazing, but sounds OK

Dude...

Look again at the numbers.

5868 renders

335 animations

8 2D-art pieces

4 2D-art animations

31 songs

65 sound effects

Its a shit ton of content, it's worth the download size.


I really hope you are wrong lol

I will definitely download and play the episode. If the file size is like this from the 10th episode, it will be around 40-45 GB by the end of the season.

I am surprised he didn't say "It's the best one yet" Like the last episode.

 

[DJviny]

Almost a year later lol, but hey, I've been following since 2020 but 0.9 and "1.0" both updates took so long

It turns out that December 01/08 will be a release.

New music is just dope.
New main title theme:


Two other songs:

 

[katzenstreu]

nice sound

 

[DarkKiller]

It will be a December release

Night Hacker, I'm still hurt with you facepalming this post of mine! Who's laughing now?

 

[Ottoeight]

For the love of everything sacred please let this be a 01/12 release.

As expected the animations were all rendered a few days ago and beta testing has already started,

Lets all hope it goes smootly.

Either way we are almost there brothers, this is going to be awesome!

I thought you were going to say "I'm optimistic for a november release!" once again.

A 12 GB episode from the 2nd episode of the 3rd season. The file size is terrible

It’s a 5GB episode, as that’s the size of the “patch” for the previous version.

 

[JosephH151]

I actually expect it to be bigger if DPC does more 60fps animations, lets remember the current number of them is <50%.

Not like it matters anyway, what is a few hours downloading after almost a year of waiting.


Agreed, I actually prefer the current start song. Lucklying we can set the music ourselves.



Here's hoping for 01/12, that extra week would be torture.


Unfortunally true and the future is grim, 12 months is the base for new updates now.

If nearly half of this update has got 60fps anims, I fear the next update will be all 60fps, drawing out development time even further...

 

[NebulousShooter]

If you're expecting it before December you're delusional

Night Hacker, care to retract your facepalm?

He learned that lesson.

December, who would have thought it?

A 12 GB episode from the 2nd episode of the 3rd season. The file size is terrible

EP10 is 5Gb actually. 12Gb is the whole unfinished S3 (Interlude + EP9 + EP10), which is quite ok according to number of renders and animations in S3 episodes and further.
