Happy New Year!
I hope you had a great end to 2024 and a good start to 2025.
This week, I started by parsing the document with the dialogue I discussed in the last update. It took quite some time but was well worth it.
It is always baffling how many spelling and grammatical errors slip through the cracks during development. I haven't parsed any dialogue from phone apps or mini-games yet, but that's fast work compared to what is done.
I continued to fix a list of 50+ to-dos, some bigger than others.
I wrote, implemented, and tested the "Previously on Being a DIK" section.
I completed the remaining SFX work and will only add more if I spot an area where I missed something while playing.
After that, I worked on the Bios app. For episode 11, I wrote 260+ bios entries, more than I thought there would be. Coding all of that took me roughly a day.
I continued to play the game, focusing on the game economy, and I worked to balance it for mini-game enabled/disabled playthroughs. This episode was a bit tricky to balance, but I think I was successful - beta testing will tell if any tweaking is needed.
I playtested Bella's branch, and it was good. It gave me a new set of to-dos to fix.
I have also played and focused on mini-games disabled runs and checking that the phone behaves as expected during the entire episode - it's a very niche playthrough that's faster to play than the ones focusing on the story.
I have just finished working on the ending screens for the episode. It involved artwork and coding while recapping the important events of the episode in a report template. I have to test these while playing all branches, but they should be complete.
So, the list of remaining tasks isn't very big right now.
I'll focus on playtesting, fixing issues, and maybe even completing some remaining tasks in the upcoming week. There is still a lot of playtesting left on my end, and there are still animations left to render.
- Playtest the episode and fix any new issues
- Add 1-2 more clucks
- Analyze and add more art for the phone gallery
- Analyze and add any more needed chats.
I usually have a Q&A early each year, but I figured it's best to postpone this until after Episode 11 has been released. That way, more topical questions can be asked and answered, and I can focus on polishing the episode now instead.
Have a nice weekend

I've been waiting for a Sage signature that I could use for some time now, so thanks from me as well.
Ahh...Sexually Tantalizing Sage...Truly, she is music to my ears

I hecking love 60 fps. IMHO 60 looks worse than 30 in a movie type of game where you just watch. It's more natural

Someone said that the original assets were indeed made to look fake and even had it in the description. Not sure why DPC used them. Could be that he originally bought them for some other character but felt they didn't fit well with the body or maybe Maya's personality was planned to be completely different when he bought them, who knows?
Yeah, I also agree. I would make no sense and since it's never been mentioned I suspect they are not supposed to be fake in Maya's case. But like you said, it was a weird decision by DPC to use them on her.
Don't. He's watching.Now imagine if we could download being a dik on the in game phone and play it but the characters are different
mc "Oh fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.\n{w}Fuck."
Let me rephrase my post. I'm still hoping and praying for a January 2025 update. Say no to gambling peopleyou don't defeat gambling alone, you seek help
