This last week was insane in so many ways. It was the most hectic and fun release so far. There are always going to be problems during releases, but it went relatively smoothly despite some hiccups. The game has gotten too big, both in popularity and file size, to distribute to patrons effectively. It's a wonderful problem to have.

Each server used was struggling all week long, and it was exhausting trying to deliver the update in a timely fashion. I apologize to everyone affected by the slow download speeds, file corruption, and waiting time; I truly did the best I could. The current download links are stable, and the server load has cooled down over the week.

It's comforting to know that Season 3 will be like pushing the reset button on the file size. So, the next download will be significantly smaller, and I will provide patches again in the future.

Make sure that you keep the game on your PC since Season 1 and Season 2 are considered complete now. If you want to replay episodes 1-8 in the future, you will need the 0.8.x version. There are still some bugs in the current version that I'm fixing, so a v0.8.2 will come out at some point, both as a smaller patch and a full download.

Thanks to everyone for staying patient before and during the release week! And a special thanks to patrons helping each other figure things out when I had to sleep. The beta testers, proofreader, admins, and moderators, also deserve huge thanks for their efforts.

Amidst the network issues and bug fixes, I haven't fully appreciated the feedback and overwhelming response you've sent my way. I've been feeling like a robot trying to put out fires as they started, but the impact of the release is starting to dawn on me.

All of your comments and praise humble me, making me very emotional to read your words. I poured my heart and soul into this episode - and I did so while mourning a tragic family event, but developing this game provided me with a distraction and kept me sane and healthy. And if that doesn't prove how much this game means to me, nothing will.

It's been wonderful to deliver the full second season to you, and I truly wish that all of you thought that the wait was worthwhile. Thank you for supporting and trusting me during the development months of episode 8 and for the incredible support during release. Not only did we become 15000 DIKs, but even 17000 in a matter of 4 days! That's nuts! You are amazing!

I want to celebrate these patron count milestones with you. I have something special planned for this occasion that I will share at a better moment.

In general, I have plenty of exciting news to share with you soon about everything that's coming up for Being a DIK, both in the near future and long-term.

You can look forward to posts including this and more:

  • What I'm working on
  • The upcoming Steam release
  • Season 2 patch information
  • The episode 8 walkthrough
  • Information about the Interlude
  • Patron milestone celebration
  • A new Q&A post where you can submit questions
  • Patreon tier changes
Posts may come somewhat irregularly as soon as I have something exciting to share, not just on Fridays, at least for a while.

Fun times lie ahead of us, and I'm so damned excited to start working on Season 3 - where both big questions will be asked and answered!

Right now, I'm going to power on with work.

Love,
Dr PinkCake
God, we didn't even know that one of his relatives had died. And he continued to work.

I hope this stops the "Season 3 will be the last" talks.
not really, cause he is always telling this, and sometime later other things ^^ Nothing is for certain. But its a mood boost to read this.

And hopefully it stays that way and we will get the next big update pretty quick...

But iam not very interested in the interlude so far, regarding that i think it will be just a short episode with Zoey being the main focus... cause i just dont care for her, and i think this interlude is meant to be to change that... just so she "deserves" a big part in the next episodes... but for me i am sure, this will not gonna work... i just dont want her in the game. and no matter waht, she will be a big distraction for all the other relationships that i really not want to have.

But anyways, its nice to read that DPC is enjoying the release and is excited to work on season 3 and even wants to dig in now... wouldnt be a surprise though if we will hear something like "hm iam thinking of doing something different" in about half a year :D

He said he would talk about Dik's future in the short and long term. I may be wrong, but maybe this is a hint that there will be spin-offs in this universe with other characters? For example, with Derek

Thanks for the link... but unfortunately it didn't work for me. :( ... "The folder can't be found".

I'm on a Mac if that makes a difference.
All Ren'Py games on Mac keep their save files at ~/Library/Renpy/(name of game)
Fastest way to go there is the Go to folder command in Finder.: shift-command-G and paste ~/Library/Renpy in the window and click Go.

Guys, after the part about telling the Diks about the Halloween party, the game keeps replaying the scene of the date with Bella and then goes back to the part about telling about the party. It keeps repeating. Is there any way to correct this? Thanks.

I don't see a help thread, so I have to post it over here but please remove this if it's not appropriate to ask for help here. I'm using MAC. I did use the unarchiver to extract the file, but I could not open the game file. It also says this when I tried it again too. Can someone please help! Thank you!

Check if you got enough free space on the disk.
When you first unzipped the archive, did you get an app ?
And for some nitpicking: you're not using MAC, but a Mac.
