Strange that DPС has not yet made it mandatory to link to patreon's account or his discord to keep the game from being pirated...Well he will probably spend extra time during ep12 development for that.

Another very popular developer with many games out and in development just put out their latest update and you had to be linked to their Patreon to play it to stop piracy. It was cracked within an hour and a patch available here in about 3 hours to get around it.

I wonder how much time they spent setting up this great idea to combat piracy, that someone cracked immediately.

DPC would just be wasting his time.

reminds me of the playstation 1 time.
the copy protection was so great, that i just copied it along the line.
in 9 out of 10 games it worked just fine.

I completed posing all scenes this week, and after that, it felt like a whole new world of steps in development opened up, which means I've reached the polishing stage.

I have coding tasks left here and there, but all the scenes (story + lewd + branches) have been posed and written, so I can finally start playing the episode for real and polish the rough areas.

Before playing, I quality-tested the special renders and lewd scenes. I ensured I could reach 100% collectibles on a mini-game playthrough and unlocked all lewd scenes. I then tested that all rewards and lewd scenes were viewable and playable - this step usually results in many bugs, and it was a bit buggy this time, too.

After finishing with that, I started playing Jill's branch. Most of the static renders in the render queue are in other branches or late game, so there weren't a lot of missing content areas.

I reached a part of the episode I knew wasn't coded properly - a big free roam - and fixed all the code to make it playable and work as intended.

While playing, I found issues here and there, be it renders that need to be touched up or re-rendered, code that needs to be fixed, or dialogue that can be trimmed/altered. I don't stop to fix that while playing, as I don't want to lose immersion. Instead, I keep playing and make notes in the code for all these spots. Once I reach the end of the episode, I fix all the issues immediately before playing another playthrough. Rinse repeat.

I just finished my first full playthrough of Jill's branch, and I overall think it was a long and eventful episode. I have made over 100 notes on issues to fix, and I'm currently fixing them before I continue playing.

I also worked some on Episode 12 planning to ensure that I had all the story I needed in Episode 11 in preparation for the season finale. Checking the plan ahead of schedule is a great way to ensure all planned content is considered. And from my plan, I could tell that I don't need more story content in episode 11, which is great.

99 static renders and 61 animations are currently in the queue. It will mostly deplete from now on, except for any renders/animations that need to be re-rendered.

This is how my days will look like from now on until beta testing. I will play, make notes, and fix issues. I have the following tasks left to complete:

SFX & Music
  • Some scenes still miss SFX & Music, and I want to expand the song selections in some areas after playing the episode.
Coding & Other tasks
  • Rooster needs 1-2 more clucks.
  • The phone gallery most likely needs a few more images for some branches.
  • Phone chats are near completion, but I don't want to remove this bullet point until I've played all branches.
  • Add Bios to the entire episode. It's a couple of hours worth of work.
  • Add girls and their lewd events to the Stats app. It's less than an hour's worth of work.
  • The end of the episode report needs to be written.
  • The "Previously on Being a DIK" section needs to be written. It's in the planning stages and will take a couple of hours to complete.
  • Discord rich presence functionality needs to be quality tested before being considered complete.
Polishing
Play through all branches and all conceivable variations to quality test the episode.

Play the episode with a focus on

  • Overall story
  • Continuity
  • Spelling/grammar/words/dialogue
  • Inspecting images and animations
  • Music & SFX analysis
  • Checking that phone apps/stats update accordingly
  • Mini-games (winning/losing)
  • Mini-games disabled mode
Fix all issues encountered during playtesting.

Add any content that I feel is missing.

My thoughts on all this
Now it's time to cross the t's and dot the i's and ensure that the hard work pays off for me and you. I hope you understand what I'll be doing daily from now on, and I'll try my best to report this process throughout. Polishing the episode will require time, as will the 61 animations in the queue. Once all static renders have been rendered, all my systems will work on animations, and the speed should see an uptick.

This year, I'll be taking December 23-24 and 31 off and work as normal as possible other than that.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you!

Love

The first times I used the search function here I ended searching in google adding f95zone :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: (Until i found out the advanced options)

For some purposes using Google adding "inurl:f95zone" is still the best option, even after one learns how to sort chronologically the search results in the F95 internal search engine... :rolleyes:

(Or there's still something I am missing about how to tweak and use the F95 internal search engine :HideThePain: )

it's normal. development is not a linear process, i'm a dev myself. DPC is not a dev studio he's a guy working on his project, he's not asking for your money, there are people who donate to him, some people donate to girls' OF, ask yourself which is better, supporting the guy who spends his time on something that clearly is his passion, and he does it damn well, or "supporting" some retarded sluts that do nothing. Everybody choose what they do with their money.

I'm good waiting whatever it takes, he doesn't owe me anything.

Btw i paid nothing for this game.
You make it sound like he is a saint and not an asshole who bans people who donate money for his "project".
I'm not new in this rodeo. I've said before and I will say it again: the combination of adult gaming developing and patreon has become a scam scheme. Development times increase just to milk people as much as possible without any purpose of delivering a finished product in a reasonable amount of time.

Unless you could make a link good for only one download or one click there no way to stop it, and even that wouldn't stop once it download someone can just post that

My BS alert just tingled.

It's going to be 15 months, not 24.

Your spidey sense is broken. :ROFLMAO: We've known for a few months it wouldn't be out this year.
True, I think people have been calling it since september.

While I do despise a few of DPC actions, calling this game a scam is too far.

He always delivers, even if he is taking longer & longer for it.

Also, remember, you don't need to pay anything, but without the people who do this game wouldn't exist.

Me too buddy...

For some reason it seems people just love to overexaggerate the next update times. Some people are so damn pessimistic. I've seen estimates for episode 11 to be released in August 2025.
lol people are really bad at guessing.

Late march is the current worst case scenario, most likely it will drop in early march.

actually first semester isn't over yet but by the end of ep11 it will be
Can't wait for new year's eve in EP 12! (Which will probably release in september 2026 lol)

At least the Steam release for Season 3 will be quite close to hallowen, making EP 9 finally properly placed lol.
