After working hard on the Steam build for Being a DIK: Season 1, I can now announce that the release date on Steam will be Valentine's day, February 14th, for PC and Linux systems.

Sadly, I have some bad news I must communicate. I had to remove macOS support for the Steam version due to a new Apple policy of forced notarization of all apps. Steam is doing their job of following the new guidelines.
It's a ridiculous policy from Apple's side and instead of jumping through the hoops, making Steam development unfeasible for indie developers such as myself, who cross-compile and don't even own a macOS system, I've decided to drop support for macOS on Steam for now.
Please note that you can still get macOS versions on Patreon, but be advised that once you upgrade to newer versions of Catalina, Apple may disable the app for you (and you'll have to override some security settings to make the game playable, if that's even possible).
This change is something that all Ren'Py developers will have to adapt to in the future.
Other than that, I'm really happy for both the Patreon and Steam release of Season 1 of Being a DIK.
To celebrate the release, I'm giving away 50 Steam keys to patrons.
Since there's no way for me to do this in a fair way I have decided to hold a lottery for them.
Before February 14th, I will randomly choose 50 patrons, who have commented on this post that you're reading, to receive one Steam Key each for Being a DIK: Season 1. You can comment anything and you'll get a chance to receive a key.
If you don't win this time there are more giveaways to come in the future.
Cheers
