What does everyone think the time span of this game will end up being? Whether it’s twelve episodes or twenty or whatever, by the end of the story, how much time will have passed? DPC has made a few allusions to second semester classes, so I feel like we’ll need a time skip at some point at the rate we’re going. Feels like a missed opportunity to skip out on a spring break trip, too.
My personal guess is the first year of school (two semesters). I originally thought it would be just a single semester, but since the mention that Bella teaches a class MC will be in next semester I can't see that being introduced and not used.

You're assuming Bella can handle the inner conflict long enough to be the mc's teacher and not just snap, and then stalk from classroom to classroom with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into teachers and students. We may never get that far...

The answer to life the universe and everything - the OP (first post).

Scroll down a bit to that giant, bold Extras: section where you'll find the Official (1-5) & fan (1-6) walkthroughs, Special Render Guide(EP5), EP6 Free roam locations etc. to sate inquiring minds.


Hard to say without knowing what your exception message is... First guess would be you tried to patch an unpacked or modded 5.x version, despite all DPCs warnings that's a no-go.

Not all samples are normally distributed? I think I'll stick with a skewed distribution with a bunch of snarky feminists & others I find unattractive firmly at the bottom of the pack thanks.
I've never mod the game. Btw this is the error... Untitled.png

Anyone figure out the signifigance of the scene of MC lying in bed, right before the final free roam? Two of the lawn lights fade in and out, is that supposed to indicate that someone is walking around outside, spying on MC?
i thought that too i had to replay that part at least 4 times the first light went out the middle light stayed on and the last light went out i think someone did walk by it might be Quinn or Tommy who knows

I replayed this game and noticed that Jill said she has an order-sister who passed away when she was young.It's possible that Jill is Mc's aunt.Sorry for asking this question.
There is a lot of evidence in the game to debunk this theory, age difference being the most obvious one. But on top of that, DPC has already said that there would be no incest in the game. And considering the things that have happened so far( Jill grinding on MC's hand, that raunchy make out session on Bella's couch, the shower scene etc), these things wouldn't have taken place if she was MC's aunt.

That's good, but you didn't address the unpacked part.

From your error message I can see you're trying to patch 0.5.2? If that came from here, it was probably unpacked (has a bunch of *.rpyc files in the game folder). The patch does not work with the unpacked version.

If you have copies of 0.5.0 or 0.5.1 which aren't unpacked (have *.rpa files in the game folder), then the patch will work fine.

If not, then I'm afraid you may need to download the full 0.6 at this point.

I really hope Quinn will be an actual Li but she doesn't have any points tied to her so I guess it's just hope :confused:

For anyone still wanting Quinn on MC more ... Did any of you actually play the latest game version?
She has officially the most kinks and lewds with the MC of the entire cast.
NO pressure, no prejudice, no holding back ... just bare back with the MC.
it's just hope

Possible interesting theory about Sage's relationship route, but what if, even after the break-up, she continues to mope and beat herself up over it, never fully recovering from it. On the FWB route, she and the MC maintain this status and grow closer, the MC even thinks they might start formally dating, but she resists going that far. She likes him, but she's been scarred by her relationship with Chad that she's afraid to go further with the MC than just FWB. She also knows that she's in her final year and likely to move away from B&R at the end of the academic year, so she feels like she doesn't want to start anything because of this, as it would either mean a long distance relationship or breaking up so they don't have to go through that.

Could this be how her relationship route goes? Because, let's face, this would be painful to have to deal with, having a girl you really like but who's now afraid of committment, and this seems like it would be right up DPC's alley to do this by not making it as easy as, "boyfriend gone, now she's mine". Maybe the MC might have to speak to Chad and try to get him to tell Sage the truth so she can move on, which is where sticking up for him in Ep 3 could come into play, and perhaps there may be a decision to stay at B&R or go with Sage when she graduates.
It could be like that during lots of episodes... Chad and MC should become friend to get Chad telling the truth to Sage. Or maybe the truth will come from another way.
Sage and Chad were together for 3 years at least, so it's totally normal she has hard time after the breaking up because she struggled a lot to keep it before knowing Chad's cheating. Lots of people needs time to have faith and confidence to another person and fall in love again after a bad breaking up.
And if Quinn's business become a problem for MC, he could always leave B&R with Sage, but only in the 11th episode in 2022.

I don't just want Quinn on Mc more, I want Quinn to be an actual Li but like I said, you don't gain any points with her so i guess she's just "fuck" interest. I hope I'm wrong though.

An association with Chad is probably in the cards, but could be influenced by whether the mc tried to defend him in the school office that time.

Just got me thinking, if Jill didn't interfere and report on Chad jumping the mc, the story could be quite different.

I compare the Quinn case with the Chandra case in CoBD. They both are side characters that transcend to LIs if you do their storys right. Chandra even got put in the tab with other LIs if you do her path right.

Just because the RP points for Quinn arent showing, doesnt mean that they are not counting. For example, for you to help Quinn in ep6, you have to make specific choices that influence her (+RP) that she should accept your help.

Quinn is already a main character no matter what because she drives the bigger picture story. LI just for those who do her path (just like Chandra).

PS: Im not comparing BaD to CoBD or saying that one is better than the other. It just seemed right because of the similarity of the characters.

Lengthy post incoming. It's spoiler-free.

Please, don't post spoilers in the comment section. Many haven't played the latest episode yet.

General information
For you who have played the update, I hope you enjoyed it! It feels great to finally be able to release episode 6 to you.

A warm thank you to everyone for reporting bugs/typos that slipped through to release! It truly helps to improve the game. There was a patch (v0.6.1) for fixing some minor issues with the initial release, but nothing was game-breaking. Since the patch, multiple new typos and minor issues have been reported, but I'm waiting to see if anything worth patching comes up. If not, any additional changes will be included in the next major update (v0.7.0) instead.

Many of you are asking for an updated walkthrough and it will be available sometime after the $5 tier has gotten access to the patch.

For those of you in the $5 tier, or planning to pledge to get the patch, please note that the patch requires the Patreon base game to play the update. If you don't have Patreon version v0.5.0/v0.5.1/v0.5.2, you won't be able to patch your game. The Steam version does not work with the patch.

After every tier has gotten access to the game, new polls will start for episode 7. But I do have a new type of poll for you starting this weekend.



Episode 7 news
Development on episode 7 started during beta testing. The progress so far is:

575 static renders and 23 animations completed. The animation queue has an additional 19 animations waiting to render.

I've written about 30% of the content compared to Episode 6. I've yet to decide the scope of the episode. I'll keep you updated as always.



9000 patrons = Upgraded hardware
During release, I reached 9000 patrons. It's a huge milestone and I couldn't take time to celebrate it until recently. Thank you so much for your contribution!

Since I reached 9000 patrons I decided to do something big for the game and was very lucky to do so considering the circulating supply of GPUs.

All thanks to you, I've upgraded my hardware to the next-gen of GPU cards and I'm ecstatic about the gain in render speed.

I've measured up to a 173% increase in render times per PC. I see how my static render queue gets obliterated overnight and it's simply amazing. This will likely shift the bottleneck from rendering to manual labor. But to fully use the power of the new cards, I will use this gain to increase the overall render quality and animation length in future updates.

I will make sure that every main girl gets at least one extra-long animation in episode 7. You deserve it!

These cards have opened up new possibilities for me and for the game.

This wouldn't have been possible without your support and I'm happy to take any risks of this investment for all of you.

I've yet to see how this will impact my development cycle, but I can already tell it's going to be a fantastic improvement of the content in the game.

Once again, thank you!



2021 Patreon changes
With the new year, I will carry out some changes to the Patreon tiers, to improve the value for you as well as making my work easier.

Starting 2021, custom render orders will be selected from submissions from patrons in the unlimited $75 tier. Each month, there will be a post for the $75 tier where you can submit your wish for a custom render order.

At the end of each month, I will handpick 4 orders from this post to produce and publish them next month. Please note that there's no guarantee that your submission will get picked. However, the benefits of this are that more patrons will have a chance of getting an order made, I will have work waiting for me on day one each month and the custom renders will have a bigger variety.

The drawback of this is, of course, that the President patrons will lose the benefit they pledged for and it's not been a decision I've made lightly. But a lot of things have changed during the year I've been producing custom renders. My Patreon page has grown with ~7000 patrons since and it's clear that there are many out there who are waiting and deserve a chance to see their dream render come true.

I've been in contact with Patreon, to make sure that the tier reward is ok to do, and they have given me a green light for it.

I hope this will excite you about 2021 as much as it excites me.

I'll be posting the first post where you can submit your ideas in December, and President tier patrons will have their final custom render order in December as well.

Starting December, the President tier will be unlocked to become unlimited and it will, for the moment being, only exist as a tier for patrons wanting to show additional support.

I will open a tier for $150 as an additional support tier, too, since I've had patrons wanting to donate this amount and Patreon's current tier reward system doesn't allow for them to see the posts without having a proper tier.

Furthermore, I will be removing the Acting Lessons Lewd render sets rewards from the $15 and $75 tiers. When I offered them as rewards, I was being optimistic about the time I have available for extra activities. It feels bad to put a reward in a tier when it's not something that happens that frequently. I might still get around to producing these sets in the future, but I want to put that extra energy into the Being a DIK development.

To sum up, these are the tier changes, starting January 1st, 2021, at the latest.

$15 tier:


  • Removed reward: Access to small lewd sets of characters from Acting Lessons, 3 weeks after release.
$75 tier:

  • Removed reward: 3 weeks early access to small lewd render sets of characters from Acting Lessons
  • New reward: Each month, participate in entering suggestions for custom renders. 4 out of all entries are handpicked and produced for the following month.
$100 tier:

  • Removed reward: You can order one render per month from Being A DIK or Acting Lessons.
  • Tier becomes an Additional support tier, with all rewards from lower tiers.
  • DIK President Discord role
$150 tier (New tier):

  • An additional support tier, with all rewards from lower tiers.
  • DIK President II Discord role


I'll be posting the first preview of episode 7 before the end of the month.

Best regards, have a nice weekend, a huge thanks for the support during the release, and thank you for reading!
