DIKs!
Right now, I'm mostly working on Steam beta testing, bug fixing, etc.
But I'm also using my PCs by posing and rendering animations for the next update.
I'm polishing the walkthrough and releasing it to the Major DIK tiers and above this weekend.
Today, I want to talk about what's coming up in Season 3.
If you haven't played episode 8 yet. Please, stop reading right now, as you will get spoiled.
I would even advise you not to read my future posts until you have played and finished episode 8.
Spoilers are incoming below this sentence.
So, what is the plan for Season 3?
As you saw from reaching the end of Season 2, Episode 9 is not the next update that I will release.
Right now, we have reached an approximate midpoint of the main story.
Where we are right now, I have planned for a special part of the game that I have chosen to call "Interlude - Riding the Waves".
An interlude is a short story in the middle of an ongoing story, and that's what's next for Being a DIK.
Season 3 will start with this shorter interlude, and after that, Episode 9 will continue where you left off.
I will release the interlude before episode 9. This gives you some more Being a DIK content faster, and it also gives a perfect opportunity to make sure that the save transfers from Season 2 to Season 3 works for all of your games.
I wanted to manage your expectations for what the next release means in terms of development and content by telling you this.
The interlude won't be as long as the previous episodes have been, and it will primarily be focused on story events, not lewd content.
It's a shorter piece of the story that's too big to be handled within an episode and focused on story events that I want to tell in a certain way.
I hope that this will come to mean that the upcoming development cycle will be shorter as well. Both the planned animation and render count won't be near what you've seen recently from me.
That said, I know that the interlude will speak for itself and be both satisfying and worth playing for any fan of the game.
I will have more information about the interlude later and tease it more with previews and status updates.
After the interlude has been released on Patreon, it will be full speed ahead with episode 9 development.
Season 3 as a whole will feel fresh and fun; I have big plans for it.
I appreciate your support, and I hope you will enjoy the journey ahead on your chosen roads.
Have a nice weekend!

1) It is obvious that Zoey's story was planned as part of episode 9. But apparently this backstory was so big that the DPC decided to release it as a separate episode. Thus, DPC reduces the waiting time and splits episode 9 into two parts. The only concern is the timing. We do not know how long the interlude will be developed. But we know that there will be a bit of animation and a lot of renderings, that is, the development should not take much time. I would put the interludes on the way out by January.
2) DPC said that season 3 will be fun. I guess he'll be more focused on the plot and the party. I predict that it will be released in the middle of summer. I think that both the interlude about Zoey and episode 9 should be considered as two acts. If he hadn't released the Interlude, he would have included her story as a prologue.
