Today there are 10,000 patrons supporting the creation of Being a DIK and it's absolutely wonderful seeing how many of you enjoy the game.
Thank you so much for your support! No matter what you pledge, you're helping the game both get made and get better.
I've been working hard on the next episode, but in anticipation of this day, I've started producing something special to celebrate this huge milestone together with you.
Starting today, and then two times per week (Wednesdays/Saturdays, starting next week) until I run out of material to post, I will post wallpapers that I've meticulously created for you.
To start off here's the first wallpaper of Sage. You can find high-resolution versions attached to this post, including full HD, 4k, and 3440x1440, for you ultrawide monitor lovers.

Status update
Lately, I've been working on, what feels like, everything at once. The biggest focus has been producing one big free roam event.
The free roam event is close to being completed, but it needs polishing and content in a few more areas.
I've started writing phone conversations and the new phone feels like a nice improvement when it comes to texting.
I've also been working on adding more animations.
I'm starting to get a grasp of how much there's left in terms of animations, and I think that ~200 total seems like a good ballpark number.
159 animations are completed and I have a small queue with a few animations in it. I have a few lewd scenes left to write and pose for.
Currently, 1937 static renders are produced. I can't accurately estimate the progress in this area.
I will spend next week focusing mainly on writing and likely posing static renders.
In poll news, Jill won the special render poll for episode 7 and will get a special render set dedicated to her.
Have a nice weekend

Sage looks gorgeous and a decent amount of renders and animations done, episode 7 is looking quite heavy already.You must be registered to see the links

I use the term cash cow, but I'd say it again, its not to be seen in a bad light like 99% of the cases. Its is his cash cow but DPC deserves every penny he milks from it, unlike tons of devs. My point is, DPC has a good thing going on with BaDIK, I dont see him rushing things just because he can fast pace it, so I'd say we're always going to get the 4-6 month gap between episodes, he had more than enough resources to speed up the process by outsourcing a bunch of stuff but he chose not to.I don't remember any special reason to think DPC is a cashcow dude, compared to Milfy City (lol).
If he want to cash more, he should plan more seasons instead of slowing down development on purpose and I guess everyone would love than too, with the amont of good side characters this could go on a little bit more if he delay the main story arc.
Oh, not again.So am I right in assuming the narrative undercurrent is a variant of the Jon+Daenerys thing from GoT?
Wait, really, this is a regular thing?Oh, not again.
As regular as the day is long.Wait, really, this is a regular thing?
Man of CultureNo. Doesn't matter what age you are or what you're doing, it's just about the fantasy.
Now that can make a lot of people have aMeans she'd probably be the first one to die, too
While everyone here is kinda paranoid something soul destroying is pending, my understanding is this game is meant to be a little more on the lighter side than Acting Lessons. So while drama abounds, killing off one of the main love interests is hopefully not in the cards. That's not to say any of the side chicks are off the hook.
So, for the record, I definitely did not mean that I expected BADIK to retread the same ground as AL. However, it does have that vaguely bait-y intro screen where it says that the game "isn't for those going through a hard time" or something like that. So, it's pretty obvious to me that (unless this is a bait and switch) that the intention is for things to get much heavier and rougher later on. And my concern was that the deliberate intention of introducing very heavy drama might at some point kill the game for me.I think setting this game to the same standard as AL is a bit unfair to DPC. It may be the same guy but I don't think he'll take it to that level, for the simple fact that it seems that he has a lot of pride in his work and repeating storylines is one of the worst things a writer can do. His writing isn't perfect, but I like to hold on to hope that he won't use the "copy and change a few words around" method
Ahhhh... 5XP per 1000 points actually makes sense. I was hitting around 24K per session, and felt like I was somehow missing out on points.I believe it's 5 XP per 1000 points, but there are a lot of other things to keep track of, too.
Other than the dreadfully clunky interface, I really like the mansion mini-game (though "mini" is pushing it). If you want to dive into the details, you can find a lot of good information here, here, or here.
IIRC he only added it to AL after the facts, it wasn't there in the first versions of the gameSo, for the record, I definitely did not mean that I expected BADIK to retread the same ground as AL.

That actually makes a degree of sense... Potentially just covering his bases.IIRC he only added it to AL after the facts, it wasn't there in the first versions of the game
so i guess he put it just in BADIK to be sure
Yep all rewards are thereHello Guys , I just want to confirm one thing that all special renders (till ep6) are in the game under rewards , right?
I mean to ask that does the dev upload some on his/her patreon? Are there more Special renders other than those in the
game? I am kind of new to these things , so i would appreciate someone's help on this. Thanks in Advance.
Time will tell, yes, and I'm sure we all hope nothing like what happened in AL will happen again, but we can't really say for sure, especially since DPC vigorously defends that ending and doesn't see a problem with it.So, for the record, I definitely did not mean that I expected BADIK to retread the same ground as AL.

However, Shazba has sort of reassured me there. If there is drama and tough decisions, they at least won't be as depressing as in AL... Either way, only time will tell.
The difference here is that GRRM always planned on that happening and DPC does not plan on making the MC and Jill related. DPC may not have put a specific pin in this "theory" yet, but they have said they're not interested in the incest kink, unlike GRRM who had incest right from the very start, so there was no reason to believe this was not possible with Jon and Dany.Your first sentence explains why he won't; also why it almost definitely will happen even if not initially planned. Think about it this way, even pre-HBO Georgie boy never put a pin in any of those thesis-length essays explaining why J+D.
All the Special Renders are in the game, yes, and some will be previewed on their Patreon page before an update is released.Hello Guys , I just want to confirm one thing that all special renders (till ep6) are in the game under rewards , right?

Well, so tybalt (Batman) defeat the MC(Bane) and Jill (Catwoman) escape with Tybalt in the end
