I mean updates coming to steam is it ? on steam game called season 1 only and i thought game includes only 4 part? which means i have to buy again or wait coz paying a game one time can be but his patrons are paying him month to month is it unfair for his patrons ? or they are playing the game way early than steam version like 10 days or less
He will most likely have a season pass in place so that you can purchase them all and when updates release on steam you'll be able to download them as DLC.

So, the Steam will be most likely supported from the get go then, hmm...

That makes sense. I thought it might have been legitimate, because its like rule 3 I think were you cant talk about this website or any other piracy sites.

*Rule 3 on the Badik discord. They dont like this site haha
Yeah, by all accounts DPC seems to have developed a virulent hatred for this place, so I can understand why they might be trying to find ways to stop people from playing it who aren't patrons or Steam players, but I have a hard time seeing how it would be possible.

Also, DPC has previously said this about the Steam version:


Steam
Will Season 2 be automatically added to the existing base game or are you going to make Season 2 a separate thing from Season 1?


This is explained on my Steam store page. New seasons will be released and sold separately as DLC. New content will be added to the Season 1 base game, meaning that there will only be one single executable file for the entire game.

I do have some news on this for Patreon versions as well, but this isn't a suitable post to explain this with. There will be an announcement on this later. Don't delete the Patreon version of Season 1, yet.
So, according to them, each season (the complete set of several episodes) will be released as DLC, not that each individual episode will be released. They also said this about the Ren'py version:

Forgot to post this


I have some important information regarding the future of the Patreon version of Being a DIK.

The best way to go forward with the game is by uploading patches as well as a full game, including all episodes. The old idea of keeping multiple binaries on Patreon will make my workload much bigger since it makes it too different from how the Steam version is being handled.

Patches are still small files and they will enable faster download of new content, which was problem I wanted to solve to begin with.

An example of how it would work
When episode 5 is released I will release the following:

1. One big game file with Episodes 1-5 (v0.5.0), approximately 8 GB

2. One smaller patch with just Episode 5 (v0.5.0), approximately 2 GB

If you have the previous version installed (v0.4.0, v0.4.1 or v0.4.2), you can just download option number 2 and patch the game.

If you don't have the previous version, you'll need to download option number 1.

What do you need to do now?
Nothing!
Absolutely nothing.

Your saves from episode 4 will work without any extra steps required on your end.

Please note, Steam saves aren't compatible with the Patreon version.

Patch v0.4.2
If you want the latest bug fixes, today I have uploaded:

1. One big game file with Episodes 1-4 (v0.4.2)

2. One smaller patch that can be used on v0.4.0 or v0.4.1 to upgrade your game to v0.4.2. Until episode 5 is released, as thanks for reaching 4000 patrons this patch will be available for free to all patrons.

The upside to all of this is that you can keep all content in one single game and patches will be fast to download.

The biggest con to this is that I can only release patches to the $5 tier, because the big file with all episodes must be kept in the $10 tier because of the Steam release. You will still be able to play the new updates with the patch. But you do have to save the previous version between updates to make this work.

Another con is that if you have modified the game or used a software to extract images, scripts etc., you need to delete those extra folders for the patch to work.

I'm deeply sorry for backpeddling on this and I'm sorry for all the confusion. It's better to make this change early on, than realizing that I screwed this up in a bigger way later. If you have any questions about this, please post a comment and I will answer as best as I can.

Best regards

So from what's been said previously, DPC clearly indicated that Patrons will continue to get the Ren'py version and that the Steam version will only be released as complete seasons. Maybe they've talked and thought about exploring ways to protect the game from the piracy of this and other sites since then, but I think it would be hard to achieve.

I tried getting a few of my RL friend's to play this game because they like games with choices and etc, when I proposed this game to them they immediately said its a sex game and I had to keep telling them it wasn't just a 'sex' game so they finally loaded it up and closed it down after the shower scene with Josy lol.

It wasn't the killjoy on here, was it? Sees a fun game and is dead set against it you should have told them to stick to it a bit more.

This would be most welcome.
It would make the most sense would hate to buy each episode separately.

I can see their point. That scene is both gratuitous and rather uninteresting. Josy is quite literally just a doll for us to gawk at (if one is being polite).

If you've played more of the game it's obvious that the daydream is a blatant fantasy intended to contrast how well developed the 'real' characters in the game are. Sort of a spoof on bad adult games. But for newbies already skeptical of the genre, the game might never get a chance to show the contrast.

I'd say if you want to talk a skeptic into the game, tell them up front that there is a lot of gratuitous adult content and that the real story and character work takes a little time to develop. If they make it through the end of the first day of college, that would at least be a better indication of how the game will unfold. If they can make it all the way through Episode 1, I think they'd have a fair sample to judge the game on (even if a lot of the best bits come later).

Not sure how easy a sell that would be, but I think that's the way to approach it.

Well, normal friends would wait a bit longer even if they didn't like the genre just because you were so enthusiastic about it. Their loss :WeSmart:

one of the early scenes of this game has a scene that mc's father reading a newspaper. and on the newspaper there was aguy pointing towards mc saying "be someone". for some reason, this really made me think, because in these type of games i generally dont have a personality, i just try to reply to people however they want to get more points or whatever. so i was never gonna be someone. but in this game, i will try to "be someone" if possible. i doubt it, tho. becuz even tho i am in early game, i pretty much selected some options that i didnt personally want to select, but the girl judy or whatever wanted me to select, if that makes sense.

I hope they really make the new updates available out of Steam. I'd love to buy the game, honestly, but the only thing I can imagine is my gf "discovering" it on my Library. She would break up with me, definitely.

Please dev take this into consideration for the next updates, haha.

Well, according to DPC, the next Steam release would be the complete Season 2. For now, the Ren'py Patreon version will be receiving the individual episode updates every few months.

Has anyone else ever wondered why there is a wheelchair on the roof of the DIK mansion, how it got there and what is its purpose?

Also has anyone ever wondered why the Alpha's couch is covered in bloodstains?

I'm sure we will get an idea with one of the flashbacks or it's just random. And the bloodstains was the result of someone telling a terrible joke or the last person to snitch on them. :p
