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.

Quick question, i was trying for an all "others" playthough, the hardest one to avoid was sage but at the ep7 hots party i am given the chance to "persue" her again, if i jump in at this point, am i still forced into the whole date her or dump her scenario?

 

[JamieSadistic]

I'd really like to see MC and Liam from Acting Lessons make an appearance eventually. I know Acting Lessons takes place years after but still, I think it'd be a pretty cool nod to all the older fans of DPC.

 

[StupidRabbit]

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.

 

[PBS666]

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.

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

I would love to play as Derek.

You either need to put the beers away or make a booking with an optometrist forthwith, they look nothing alike?

Amelia is an elegant, attractive woman, while Madame is... neither of those.

you know those pics are 10 years apart!

what if daddy Royce blamed Amelia for the shit with Lana and divorced her leaving her without any financial support and she used all she had left of her previous job (in this case a massive boobjob) to get herself some financial security?

And Jill going through puberty without a mother to teach her the ropes might be the reason why she is always so insecure because daddy´s are not meant to talk to daughters about periods and protection!

I'd really like to see MC and Liam from Acting Lessons make an appearance eventually. I know Acting Lessons takes place years after but still, I think it'd be a pretty cool nod to all the older fans of DPC.

well why not as junior highs visiting college to get the feeling and being mesmerised by the dik´s?

We are learning more and more about Sage.

Initially she came across as the bad girl, ready to fuck at a moments notice, anywhere, anytime. But it became obvious enough that she was hurting and the mc was just helping her to cope (sexually).

She's making mistakes as the President of the HOTs, trusting the self-serving Quinn too much, and too preoccupied with her own problems to see what is going on around her.

When she's finally out of the relationship with Chad, she's virtually throwing herself at the mc, even if he's shown no interest in her all along.

It seems Sage needs to be in a relationship to feel good about herself. Even a shitty relationship like the one with Chad, to her, was better than no relationship at all (hence why she stuck with him even when it was empty).

We find out she's not just some dumb bimbo but actually a hard working student, she just doesn't have the best of reputations (students and staff alike are surprised to see she's actually got brains - I guess when you prance around all day in a skirt that can never hide your underwear and your tits virtually hanging out of your top, people are gonna make some assumptions).

Then we find out she's not as kinky as we thought, and she doesn't know Quinn as well as she thought. The blindfold, the strappon, the ball gag, these all take Sage by surprise (while we didn't bat an eyelid).

And what do you know, the super sexy, guys would walk across burning coals to eat her shit, president of the HOTs, hasn't even had a threesome.

So Sage not being aware of Chad's gayness, Quinn's dodgy deals, her father's infidelity (and association with a campus prostitution ring), seems to be part of who she is. It's not that she's as naïve as Jill, it's just that she trusts those around her, and she's too caught up in her own shit to see warning signs (panties in Chad's gym bag was too much to miss though).

Regarding her never mentioning Tybalt as her brother, would you be telling people if he was yours?

What you're basically saying Sage is fucking autistic. Which would be alright if she wasn't, I don't know, a president of sorority for quite a while?

What a cool scene. Riona is walking alone down the corridor in the mansion, and her friends are building love around her. There is so much sadness in this picture.

There's none. Zero. She's a top slut which in this context essentially means to each their own. On the contrary, she's free from tiresome drama like Ashley's having rn. If we'd replace Rio with someone like non-routed Maya, then - perhaps.

By the way, it seems that you and I are in minority regarding turning annoying (seemed a bit bugged) quick menu off. It's rather odd, does anyone actually using it, I wonder? Sure, less clicks in theory sometimes but it does take space and a fraction of "immershun" away.

What's up with the teeth in this update? The renders in this update seem to have taken a step backwards. Wasn't this noticed during production? This is the only game that I still play and look forward to. But it's been a disappointment both render and story-wise.

Yeah that's unfortunate but issues with them were noticable across the whole game (like that shot of MC in the train for instance) so I assume it's enormous pain in the ass to make them reflection free, most probably via postprocessing only? So regarding ep 8 issues - that's just probably due to pressure of time/crazy amount of work overall.

That's great because pointless speculations are fun only for so long. Also the dude showed his balls yet another time: "tier changes" may indicate only one direction - UP. God fucking bless f95.

Urgently needed some scenes like this with no talking with sage

we got something like this in end of episode 5 with sage but after that nothing

But you can't have the same type of chemistry or relationship with everyone, otherwise all relationships would be copies except for the different personalities. To me this scene with Josy told me a lot and I like it a lot, I think we can expect great things from her.

 

[Ilhares]

need to know if pregnancy test is still in Maya/Josy friendship route

Shows up constantly. Will say with 99% certainly it has nothing to do with the MC at all, but quite likely his maggot brother.

2 Questions:

1) Was it ever made clear if the images that we saw during Maya's "kliq tour" in Episode 1 were actually happening as Maya and MC walked around the campus? Even by this game's logic, I find the idea that Quinn, Sage, and Camila were all sunbathing topless in the front yard of the HOT House, which is supposedly on the main campus, VERY hard to believe.

The clique tour was fine. While unusual in the US, in Canada (or at least some of its provinces) it's perfectly fine for women to go around topless. Here they're merely sunbathing on their sorority lawn, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Remember, DPC isn't a prude like most US normies, so he may not even have given it much thought.

guys, a question.. is Madame Rose's true identity Amelia [Jill's Mom] ? she seems similar

Fuck no. It's much more likely that it's an older Miranda. Facial structure is almost identical, like her daughter Bianca.

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

I didn't see him say anybody died. Mourning a tragic family event. Could be a cancer diagnosis, or any number of things. I could be blind, though.

 

[Escanor89]

After playing through a couple of times, I'm beginning to think that Chad will actually step up and help MC if you've been nice to him even when he's been an asshole. Like, he almost looks thoughtful every time MC sticks up for him, and not telling Sage that Chad is gay (because it's not his secret to tell) probably furthers that.

And MC is clearly being set up to replace Tommy in the frat.

He's being setup to take over frat.

No, it's not.

Unless you are some sort of stalker you wouldn't know about such personal issues... that he shared it now is on his own terms... If DPC ever reads this : cheer up mate ! Life is a bitch ! But we gotta push through it...

I kinda wish it were so... this whole family wrecking MC idea is great !

There's story inconsistencies then. Liam and MC from AL are at LEAST 30+.. Tommy and Rusty started the DIK fraternity... if that's the case, then where are Liam and MC from AL?... Plus, MC says he cashed out his investments in 2017 which would probably mean he's telling a story from 2017 hence he'd be older now and it would have to be after the year 2017.

Yeah, give them an end cameo as the next generation.

I meant in the more immediate future. Tommy seems like he's one problem away from losing his shit in a bad way.

Jill also graduates next year sadly.

well i really dont like jill she aint for me

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

Yes, dude.

DrPinkCake's words are the best answer to the huge big morons who started writing that he's tired, he had enough with the game, that he's gonna end the game in the near future, and so on.

BaDIK is alive & kicking and it's gonna rock for a long long time.

I Can't wait for the next news from Dr PinkCake. Yep
