You're definitely not the only one. I have a playthrough for all the main love interests. I have MJ playthroughs with a balanced approach, plus a Maya-focused and a Josy-focused one. And I have a few others-focused playthroughs, making different choices at different points (for example, Nicole vs. Lily vs. Sandy at the Pink Rose). I would not do it if there weren't a skip button, but I love how much variety there is in each episode. For people who do one and only one playthrough, they don't know what they're missing.

I have 3 routes: Others(Jade only), Bella, and Sage

 

[JETracktor]

Me checking if the good old interlude saves is ok

Players who modded the game including myself...

I'm not too concerned. My 'final' save copy was after I completely re-coded the game to experience all content in a single playthrough. Most of his mod-checking so far has been easily disabled.

Does anybody know if saves from Episode 8 will work? Or do we have to go through the interlude with all our saves?

Thank you

It will get modded in a couple of days. Don't worry.

Thank you

Pretty sure the Interlude is considered the "Prologue" of season 3 so it is part of Season 3 already. So safe to say, yes, Season 2 saves will likely only import into the Interlude.

Okay, time to made my saves ready. I've several saves. Is there anything I've forgotten?

1. Jill only (no humpty bumpty with any other girl)
2. Jill after canceling date with Bella (no didgeridooing beside those both)
3. Bella only (never touched other maids)
4. Bella after deciding between Bella and Jill in Ep. 8 (no lewdarounds)
5. Josy & Maya only without doing other girls
6. Josy & Maya but also fuckbuddy of Sage
7. Josy & Maya, fuckbuddy of Sage and gone the Jade route till the end where MC stand her up
8. Sage only (no fucketyfuck around)
9. Sage and Jade (this better should be good, DPC)
10. Others only - all HOTs, Pink Roses, Becky and also Jade and Cathy but never ever anything with Josy, Maya, Jill, Bella or Sage
11. Others route but gone the Josy/Maya route full with Josy and rejecting them (telling Derek MC have the hots for Josy)
12. same as 11 but gone full with Maya instead of Josy
13. completely celibate (no sex allowed, MC waits for the return of his one and only Zoey)

In the branches with Jill, Bella and the others I fucked up Tybalt (dick pic, lost teeth and maximum triggering) and in the JosyMaya and Sage branches I was always nice to poshybear. In saves 10 - 13 I cheated at the midterms, in the others I flushed the papers. No save included anything with Mme Rose. I've standards, pals.

There's a 14th save where I gone all possible paths and fuckedaround. This save point is at the moment I've to decide between the girls so I can continue this way on all four branches.

I can't help myself but to think I've missed something. MC rejected by Jill and MC rejected by JosyMaya shouldn't be the problem. I've no ideas how this could affect anything in the future so I don't care about these two options.

It is my absolute pleasure to announce the Patreon release dates for:
View attachment 2215028
Being a DIK - Episode 9: Vixens (v0.9.0)

• Huge DIK ($25+) tiers: Friday, December 16th
• DIK ($10+) tiers: Monday, December 19th
• Mini DIK ($5) tier: Friday, December 30th (Patch only, needs Season 3 base game to play)

Beta testers are currently testing the new version and are working hard to ensure that the release is a smooth experience for every player. And my proofreader is combatting typos in the episode.

There will be a patch with a file size of ~4.95 GB.

And there will be a full version, including the Interlude, with a file size of ~7.26 GB.

If you don't know how to patch your game, I recommend downloading the full version.

There will be clear instructions in the .zip file telling you how to patch your game.

Due to this highly anticipated release, my time to aid with installations and issues will be extremely limited.

Please, join my Discord server to get faster help with any problems during the release.

Make sure you treat Season 3 as a stand-alone game and don't merge it with Season 1 or Season 2 data.

Merging the game with Seasons 1 and 2 will corrupt both games.

I will not assist with errors and re-downloads due to faulty patching.

So, please make backup copies of your games before you attempt to patch them.

This is the preliminary changelog for v0.9.0.

Changelog v0.9.0
Added Episode 9, which includes:

• 5036 renders
• 303 animations
• 12 2D-art pieces
• 5 2D-art animations
• 30 songs
• 13 sound effects
• Fixed an issue where the setting to only show the close button in the rewards app when hovering caused a traceback error.
• Corrected typos
• Added Rollback Side option to Dialogue tab in Preferences.
• Removed 6 songs due to a band's wishes. Favorite lists are reset as a result.
• Overhauled the main menu music player

Let the countdown begin.

Love

Dr PinkCake

So, just over 10 days to go. The time just flew by, it feels like just yesterday I was exporting my Quinn save and starting the wait for the Interlude.

 

[Ukghar]

Well regarding Nicole (...) If she gets rude remarks thrown at her, she bites back - I like that. (...)

About Envy being able to bites back at rude remarks:

Envy reacts by slapping MC, when he says that her name is old boobs. It doesn't matter if he was respectful till that moment, if he paid her a lot or if he was mocking her from the start. During a much later scene with Lily one of the customers yells: show your tits whore. If MC intervenes, Lily tells him that some customers behave that way, that's normal and he shouldn’t intervene (when she is taking care of him).

And that opens a question. Was Derek so lucky to find an excellent trigger in case of Envy or Envy has a temper problem? If she has a temper problem, why is that? Is that her personality or drug problem? It may be a drug problem, because Lily is buying drugs for the girls. We don’t know if Envy is a druggie for sure, but it's possible.

If she would be a druggie, would you still claim that:

(...) clearly Nicole (Envy) is the best girl

or not?

I don’t like to defend girls in this game, but for the sake of discussion:

(...) In a nutshell Jill lacks confidence and snitched on MC. (...)

Yeap, Jill clearly lacks confidence. However, thanks to that MC can guide her. She has her first time with MC and depending on his preference she can be shaped, because she trusts MC. Lack of confidence is a bad thing. However it doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing for MC.

“Snitched on MC”- Do you mean that she said that Chad assaulted MC or something else? If Chad assault, I do not see it as snitching on MC. It’s more like biting back the person who attacked the person dear to you. She uses her power to protect MC in a way that she knows. She is not aware that it may not be the best way to do that. MC “enlightened” her and she reflected on that. Btw I think that MC isn’t playing his cards right, especially after knowing how important Jill’s family is.

I am not worried. I do half and half too.

To me it looked simply like Derek's assholish behavior wearing Nicole's patience thin and to the point where MC joining the act was what broke the camel's back. It was well deserved, tbh.

I like it. Quite a possible explanation. But even so it also doesn't mean that Envy is not a druggie. She can be regardless. We simply do not know for whom exactly(from Pink Rose's girls) Lily is buying drugs.

 

[MyFirstPornAcc]

I want to see you when you see Derek's animations as Bartender

No need to see that. I want some real action like opening doors in Resident Evil, sun rising on the beach or some nice animated word art from PowerPoint. Btw did anyone post saves grouped by paths for end of last episode?

 

[Ukghar]

Nicole>Sage>Jill

Could you tell me why do you think so?

 

[Ir0n Ma1den]

This christmes looks good already.

 

[Tremonia]

To all of them. She said it herself in one scene and it's also clear after her talk with the girls about her new source.

13. completely celibate (no sex allowed, MC waits for the return of his one and only Zoey)

They should give a blue balls achievement on steam for this
