Thank you all for your support!

It's been overwhelming and I feel that I haven't taken the time to thank all of you enough for helping me reach this milestone.

So, to celebrate I've prepared a reward that I will release daily until it's completely distributed.

It's a special render series I call "Beach fun".

Today's wallpaper is of Josy. I have attached a 4k and Full HD version of the render to this post.

I hope you enjoy this series! See you tomorrow with another wallpaper.

Love

Dr PinkCake
Don't let Tommy see this... Eager to see the other ones, yessssssss

The problem I see with the game design is that his story starts at A and has to go all the way to Z. However to get there he needs certain things to happen. So even though we come to crossroad B and C. He needs us to go to C in order to reach D, following? So lets say we choose C, right? All good no changes needed. However if we choose B, as we start to go down that road his "force" takes place and something blocks the road so we have to backtrack and take C anyway or it bypasses C but ends up at D anyway. The scenery may fluctuate a little but no matter what, in order for his story to work, we have to go along his route. That is not "poor game design" it is plain and simple a linear story that has the illusion of choice and content put in or blocked depending on our little choices but no matter what it's just window dressing. Unfortunately that is what is breaking this game. The fact that however we "design" our character and his personality we are forced to do things that run contradictory to who the MC is as a person based upon our choices and that is why I say this is bad writing.
on many occasions it would have been enough to remove some choices to eliminate this "hijacking" effect. no player would have complained

Tybalt, son of Jade ?!
(beginning of episode 3, Why does she have a photo of Tybalt next to a photo with her husband? and in episode 5 she says to Tybalt "Mommy is thirsty")
Isn't that just her fetish? She does the same thing with the MC. They don't look alike anyway.

The story has to be somewhat linear, as it is no one likes waiting 3-5 months for an update if he made a separate path in the game for every decision each story would only get an episode every few years and each episode would add even more paths slowing development further.

Even in sandbox games you usually can only get to a result by following a specific path set up by the developer, I like this format better since I don't have to go searching for trigger events. An open world game might be nice, but that would require a huge design team and still would have limited options (Cyberpunk 2077 has been in development for a decade with a huge team and still keeps getting delayed).

I realize there are a lot more people on here who want more choices, but I actually would prefer a more linear path to keep production up and see more of the content in a single play through (I played episode 4 through 5 times to get the 3 paths with some variation in positive and negative results, but would have liked to get the content in one or two plays).

As for the character not sticking to your choices a better way to think of the game is you are following the developer's character, but as the player you get to sway some of his minor decisions rather than seeing him as your character who then acts in ways you don't approve of (I think the main characters in all these games have moments a player wouldn't choose any of the options for their own story).

Yeah, I know that. That's not my point. The point is why mention her name so much if she's not going to appear in the game or be relevant? She could have just said "step-mom", no reason to add another for us to remember if it's not relevant.
Not entirely true. Even when I'm doing edits/ghostwriting for authors, and we collab, a lot of people in these books that are mentioned are there to add some depth to the story. They don't all need to be relevant to be memorable.

If Monica never comes up in the game, it won't hurt the storyline -- (at the same time, she can always be added in later via a presage) -- at least you have that idea that she is a "real" person with a "name." But if none of them were ever mentioned, the pace of the story would feel rushed, despite many parts feeling rushed. But again, he just doesn't know how to write. There are snippets of good writing, and then it's as if he falls into a mood and barrels through some of his ideas and cuts them out completely.

It is not an easy thing to write a story. I've written over a million words before I got the idea of it

Seriously, its pretty crazy how popular this game is now. I wonder how many patreons he will have when its last episode releases
Ya it'll be interesting to see if they drop off when "shit starts to hit the fan" - if people start having certain meaningful characters check out or they're forced to make emotionally devastating choices some people may become disenfranchised to a degree.

I am a big fan of Being a DIK and I truly think that I have found a perfect song that would fit the game... It's called "Jesus can't save you" by DC The Don and I still think that DrPinkcake should hear it.

Other songs from the same artist that might fit somewhere: &

That's a concern for a number of players and part of the reason a number of people won't give this game a chance (afraid it will turn into another Acting Lessons). I don't really expect that to happen. I felt the developer was trying to make a statement with Acting Lessons, with the statement made there's no reason to repeat it (basically it won't be like other porn games). Also, going back to the large number of Patrons, people are giving the developer a chance and he's making a successful career based on that trust, if he betrays his supporters a good portion of them would leave while if he completes a good game many of these supporters will follow him into future projects and he can recapture some lost with the last game.

Granted, I could be reading it wrong and he may go Game of Thrones and start killing off major characters just to see how much abuse the fans will endure (there are masochists who may be looking for just that sort of thing).

Meh. Have you played "Leap of Faith", "Sisterly Lust", "Tales from the Unending Void", "Parental Love", all of those have actual choices that negatively affect you, even the "minor" ones? DPA could have easily made the options to make choices that impact your path without changing the ending. Yet we see the MC on the same trajectory as regardless of DIK or CHIK. The point of this is it's "Your Choice", and if you take that away, there isn't really a choice. There's just this fate-like-story that DPA has chosen regardless.
