VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Cabin Fever]

I'm not sure how well-received Ep 9 was on Patreon because I'd usually just grab it from there then peace out but if some of the opinions on here were also reflected on Patreon, I kind of doubt DPC would do all of that again if people didn't like it. Unless he's a masochist.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but dating back all the way to AL, DPC's M.O. is "It's my game. It's my vision. I do what I want. If you don't like it, then sucks to be you." So if DPC likes that giant free roam of an episode format, you bet your ass that it just might happen again, whether the rest of us like it or not.

many also forget that there are plenty of people who enjoyed ep9. they are just far less vocal than those who hate it

 

[Cabin Fever]

this is just not true, maya would fit the roles of kazoo player, slide whistle enthusiast, and dumbshit we gave a tambourine so they felt included.

 

[katzenstreu]

i dont get the hate.
i love the free roam partys. ♥
the HoT's party is my fav.

 

[funkymonkeyjedi]

I'm not known for patience, so I'm going to give it a go right now.

It's a trap! Funky is a Bella fan, which means he's used to snarky comments, and bitch slaps. Trying to get him upset here is like trying to get him to understand that her build was designed for blow-up doll enthusiasts and sunken ship survivours.

I'm not quite certain what you were trying to achieve, but the lack of proper punctuation and spelling irritated me more than the message itself. So I applied the proper corrections for you. You simply brought out my 'inner' grammar nazi, that's about all I can say about it.

 

[RCDL]

6k renders in any other game would seem like a LOT of content for each LI to me, but here I feel like it won't be enough, there are 5 LI, there's the OTHER route (like at least 6 girls), there's the pointless drama of Zoey's return , the subplots of the preps not liking Tybalt's fraternity, Jill's friends cheating on their partners, new girls that have been appearing a lot recently like Oscar's blonde girlfriend, the one you take body shots at the party, the alphas+ Troy and Chad drama, other than that we have to evolve in the main story with Burke (hidden camera), the MC's mother, Quinn and Vinny's drug trafficking, etc. 6k seems so little in my head, I'm going crazy.

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

Dr PinkCake​

that is very good news indeed.

With two weeks to go until the release of ep10....

I actually don’t look this websites or any other websites that pirate this game, but I do see a positive side to it. The BADIK is getting more recognition and popularity, which could lead to the people considering supporting me in this project. This would help me continue to improve my skills and develop even better

 

[buggs]

He learned that lesson.

December, who would have thought it?

I have a hard time believing DPC learns any lessons about that sort of thing. He will proudly stand there in the face of 1,000 impatient players and tell them the game NEEDS 60 fps animations. I don't think he's worried about people being annoyed if he calls his not-best-episode-yet the best episode yet

 

[felicemastronzo]

sure. but let's not forget, he was not so transparent with his status updates . Before he went on vacation he was throwing around information about 70-75% , etc etc . And spend 3 weeks braging about the speed of his new 4090's.

DPC had started earlier, when after the ninth chapter he brought up that the third season was already 33%, because he counted the interlude as half a chapter.

and but in the meantime he's already put a lot of work ahead on the minigames....

 

[bloodyasura]

Man you guys are completely stupid... You're missing the most important point of this reveal! I thought some of you had taste? DPC has not only revealed that she's actually a woman but DPC has shown us that she has double the cakes of an average person. She doesn't just have cake down below... When DPC gives you head it probably feels very soft and tastes good too at the same time!

Honestly, that would explain the Santa Barbara that’s going on in the game.

DPC learned, he learned.

meanwhile, he made the 60 FPS announcement later in retrospect, when he told us that half of the animations will already be that way, not before he started making them

and then one way or another he always holds out hope that the times will be reduced.

there is no doubt, however, that there is no reason to believe him

 

[Ray_D]

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

DPC is like todd sweet little lies howard, he tells you that his new episode is going to be the best and with 16 times the details and then we end up with chapter 9 and the interlude lol.

 

[Ray_D]

Bella's husband James is currently in prison for murder. He's up for parole and will be lurking around. Since MC is too retarded to ask about the husband... James waits to bash his head with a baseball bat once he exits Bella's home.

Tremolo: I'm sorry dear fans DPC wrote me this way, because if I start asking logical questions and using common sense the game would be over in the second season.

I'll shudder when he decides to make 240fps animations

 

[bloodyasura]

Okay. I spent three fucking hours on these pictures.
And most of it went not to shitty image editing, but to a fucking search for the right positions in the render game.
Today, I decided to please not just Quinn’s fans.
So. Is there anything we don’t know about the girls from HOTs?










Oh and yes, absolutely all the images, originally there were women, just uniforms and body armor hiding, all beautiful.

 

[Dolorem0317]

Not an expert but after 21 years of have to wear them as part of my uniform they look a lot like combat boots not to many shoes meant for children have speed-lace eyelets for the shoe laces.

 

[TheBigWater]

Well.. After a year.. its time to make a new saves

 

[JosephH151]

Well.. After a year.. its time to make a new saves

Yeah... I still need to make Isabella and Others saves

His patrons are 'Yes People'. Everything he does, they say it's great. There's been a few people on here that have said things that point to him reusing that code for 9. I'm not throwing in the towel yet. Going to wait and see what happens.

Yea, admittedly I haven't looked at the scripts for Ep 9 yet. That's also a new piece of information that I feel lik

I love Karen too. But... Am I crazy or there's also a scene where Sage wears glasses? (It's been a long time...)

I think that's just a special render set. The one where Jill and Sage sort of switch personalities but to an extreme degree.
