Is there an update when it's arriving and not "Coming soon"?

Brett Satterwhite

I know if you're using at least one episode from here, but probably the others too, you can just import from wherever you want to in the loader.

Scott

Possible. They know about Chad's secret, and we never find out what was in Chad's envelope only what was in Dawe's

Malathus

Good thinking, interesting take. I could see both those possibilities. I do think Sarah and Mel are involved somehow. I think they dropped the gift off on Chad's doorstep.

Scott

There is a chance, at least on GOG. Just use an VPN, buy the game on GOG for your german account and after that you can access the game in your library even without an VPN. But to buy the game on GOG you have to use the VPN.

RustyCohle

Add in the absolute fire she shows when she finally gets fed up with Tybalt, plus she is finally getting to know Sage and Josy who I think will be good for her openness.

Malathus

Same folks that like the Tsundere in Anime Jacek

Malathus

I have the first couple of seasons from Steam, would buying Season 3 from GOG be compatible, or am I locked into Steam now (unless I buy 1-3 from GOG)?

Richard

I thought about that too actually

Malathus

Aerith is the true mastemind pretending to be stupid this whole time

Agigagiblah

I think its Becky. She is at every party and just wants attention. She also is targeting Derek to get at Maya. That may just be me. Could also be Sarah or Mel to get back at the DIKs because she thinks the MC went after Chad.

Agigagiblah

No, you don't have to betray your principles. it's quite the contrary.

Philippe D.R.

The only ones I am sure it isnt are Rusty, Jacob, Derek and MC, but misdirects are always possible

Malathus

Seems like you have to sell out to be with Jill.

Scott

It is his story to tell.

Scott

I think Tommy is into the brotherhood. I don't think it's him.

Scott

I actually could see Jamie being in cahoots with his master Dany....but he seems to kind hearted so I will stick with my suspicions of Leon Nick and Tommy

Malathus

Yeah, lmao!, the dick pic, that was hilarious. I loved when Sage saw it. I'm smiling just thinking about it. Honestly, I don't see anyone else in the Diks with an actual motive, Jaime is Jaime, John Boy is wrapped up in his world with Elena, Jacob was surprised, Rusty was bummed out. Leon just doesn't seem like he has any reason to screw anyone over. Derek obviously wouldn't do it and MC, well, I know he didn't do it. Another thing that gets me about Nick, his feelings for Heather, he wants what he can't have as long as Tommy is in the picture.

Scott

I even had a Chick playthrough where noone realized it was my dickpick until I came clean about it to Josy. A real covert DiK moment

Malathus

What I noticed first after a dozen playthroughs is, that Jamie lost his phone in the first (or second?) episode where he should take a picture during Hell Week. I have the feeling that this may be one piece of the puzzle as well. Although I have no real clue how exactly this fits into the picture... regarding Tybalt; yes it is always tempting. But I have some playthroughs where I was as nice as possible to him (which means more or less ignoring him). I just want to find out if this will change something in the future. But my biggest surprise was with Jill when you are on her branch and still take a dick pic with Tybalts phone... I thought she will be mad about it as she doesn't like bullying at all... but it was the complete opposite :-D @Scott: Interesting. Never crossed my mind until now.

Nordwolf

Yeah him saying "Vinnie was always hotheaded" is a flag for me....no Vinnie is a douchebag

Malathus

I never did and still don't trust Nick, he's butt hurt about Vinnie leaving the Diks. I can't get past that.

Scott

Still trying to sort my feeling on who I think is behind the pics other than Beth as well. Some hints like the power going out, Avery saying "We Got something" when talking to who she believes is Tara under the sheet, and what may be a misdirect with Leon approaching Beth. I also have my suspicions about Tommy after he disappears right before the Cluck about Cathy goes out, and Nicks previous close association with Vinnie......so way too many leads to be "spoilers" I hope :) We still also have that panel van that seems to follow Rio around from the beginning that then is there when she gets abducted.

Malathus

I don't like it myself, Jason. That's just how it goes. I wanna as many update a year as possible but DPC being one man show and a perfectionist in the same time, that's the result. When it drops at least it's big and of great quality

Jacek Wiśniewski

Nag you're definitely not the only one. The only scumbag I don't like besides Vinny. Seriously hope Tybalt can get the punishment he truly deserves.

Jeffrey Pantaleon

Am I the only one DiK or Chick that feels the need to find as many ways as possible to punish Tybalt? I really hate the creepy scumbag.

Malathus

Scott

Can’t find the guide on here 😭

Jonathan Masiel

You can also get it here from the Patreon

Tony Warren

is the season 3 guide only on steam?

Jonathan Masiel

I guess I look at Sally as the "girl I can't have", and that makes me want to do things to her that I shouldn't be able to if the circumstances were real. In this Universe almost any girl is attainable so I like the chase and the hope for the catch. If that makes sense. Her off putting personality is just another thing that makes me want her more I guess. Maybe my MC character is a glutton for punishment to some degree. In the real world I wouldn't give a girl like that a second look. So it's just part of the fun of the game for me. Also with Quinn being the person she is she has started to soften a bit at times so why couldn't Sally. Just my opinion. I love Quinn too and my early playthroughs were mainly with her as a Dik.

Scott

My favorite is Jill, but Sage is absolutely fantastic. I love her personality, enthusiasm, attitude about life and she's really smart. Her generosity toward Maya is really touching. The scenes that she has with the MC are often really cute and full of affection. She's a fascinating character.

Philippe D.R.

Man I am so excited about this episode

Flamingo0213

Followed by several dozen more playthroughts...

Malathus

I can't wrap my head around this Sally "cult", I mean you do you, DPC once said that every girl has fans, and it's fine by me. I'm not gonna say no to ONS with her on others path, other than that I'm not diggin' it, she's legitimately mean and looks down on people while being an ordinary girl who just wants to be the best by any means necessary (including doing drugs) or at least be perceived as the best. I'm saying that as the biggest Quinn fan there is knowing she's manipulative and mean herself. Just different past and circumstances to those two or maybe I'm just biased (I definitely am) towards Quinn. All I'm gonna say, I have a feeling that if Sally had similar relationship with MC like Quinn she'd abandon him in a heartbeat and pretend she doesn't know him anyway and I don't think Quinn would/will do that. Maybe it'll age bad, we'll see.

Jacek Wiśniewski

DPC gave us an idea of how long ep10 was when he was doing his polishing play throughs. I'm guessing with mini games enabled it may take longer than 10 did to play through.

Scott

The waiting is always the hardest part so says Tom Petty. It is always well worth the wait though.

Scott

Yeah, DPC only releases full season's on Steam and Gog. If you want to play episodes as they become available you can get them here.

Scott

Everyone, including myself, has been clamoring for more Sally interaction. I'm guessing after the Halloween party it's somewhat inevitable, At least I'm hoping so. I plan on torturing myself by taking a JM playthrough and starting at 9 when I download 11. That way I get the continuity from 9-11 in one shot.

Scott

🙏🏻

Matthew

How many hours of total playtime will be in ep11

Nashy

The blind run is the very first playthrough, there you did not know anything of the upcoming choices and possible consequences. With every playthrough after the first one, I have some paths in my head (I have to do this to achieve that or I want to try this because I have never done this, etc.).

Nordwolf

Judging by the preview pics there'll definitely be more interaction with Sally in ep11

Tony Warren

Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by blind run and I think I'll just flip a coin but hopefully no Targaryen is born haha.

Tony Warren

I get your point and can partly understand it. It really has been a long time since the last release. But partial releases were dicussed already; I think it was even in one of the Q&As. Due to the structure of the game, where branching, results of past choices and canon scenes are woven into each other, it is not simple to release a part of the branches, even if they are finished. In my opinion, the needed extra development effort is better spent on actual content than on making the episode work in a splitted version. And the good thing is... every buck payed in the meantime is completely voluntary :-)

Nordwolf

I always start with my blind run, so I can continue one pt without knowing what is coming... after that... I think, I throw a dice or close my eyes and click on one save file :-D

Nordwolf

This game is absolutely great! Love it and super excited for this episode! I'm not sure if this is the place to say this.. but I really hope there's more added with Sally. A lewd scene or just more involvement with her in general.

Sorrow

My only gripe is I can't decide who's pt I'm going to start on in ep11 lol

Tony Warren

Sage is a smokeshow and in alot of ways feels like the most natural progression of a soulmate to me.

Malathus

elt=let in typo

Malathus

That is correct not till ep 12 is released

Tony Warren

Am I correct in understanding that Season 3 on Steam will only be available for purchase after the release of Episode 12, not Episode 11?

Alex Romanov

Looks like you have nothing else to do. Quality is everything and this game is just too good for DPC go rushing everything in the name of your anxiety. I prefer a thousand times over something of high quality even if takes too long to get it done than something fast but poorly maden. Regular games with poor quality, internet is full of them, just look for another one if you don't want to wait.

MAAN

I don't like that answer Jacek, because I'm excited to continue the story and waiting sucks as does ambiguity! That said... you're probably rightish.

Jason P

I've had "patience" for a whole calendar year. Just release whichever routes are finished, like EvaKiss and Neon Ghosts do with their Vans.

Mr. Nobody

When it's ready, like DPC always says. My guess Feb 2025 at the earliest

Jacek Wiśniewski

Happy Birthday 🥳

Lilatentakel

When's episode 11 dropping on patreon

Steve

"elt" him cook???

Mr. Nobody

Chances are our choices will have an impact on what happens with Zoey. I liked Interlude, it put some skin on her bones as far as a character in the story. I wouldn't mind a path with her in the course of future events.

Scott

Yeah, I like Interlude. It gave nice context to the whole MC/Zoey relationship and it was nice change from the usual BAD setting. Still can't put my finger on Zoey to be honest. Depends on what's gonna happen in future episodes with story and other characters. It's possible she'll be "the only" choice for MC (in case of a big tragedy) or they'll be friends. Personally I'd like to see Zoey (depending on your choices) figures her feelings for MC and fights for him (spice things up start some competition for his heart) with other Li's.

Jacek Wiśniewski

Even though we are supporting his production we still get a gift once a year. The continuation of one hell of a story borne from a guy doing everything by himself. Patience. I would hate to make this anything but a labor of love for DPC. I have seen other games like this and they don't come close depth wise to the story he is telling here. We are nearing the finish line on ep11 and I am just as anxious as anyone but I always come back to the question. Have I ever been disappointed before? And I answer with a resounding no.

Scott

all i want for Christmas is this <3

Jordan Trizisky

Exactly, the level of detail and dedication from DPC, the amount of content, plus free roams and mini games. I mean there's everything in BAD and DPC is a one man show. I'll admit I'd prefer smaller updates but maybe twice a year, instead of a one big but that's the way DPC is doing things for BAD. We all should be cool with it by now. I'm always saying that the only thing missing from BAD (by today's standards) is DAZ/UE5/Blender graphics (just imagine that). Maybe if/when DPC takes on another project he'll do things differently in terms of updates calendar but for now it is what it is

Jacek Wiśniewski

Yeah, that's what I was thinkin'. Probably you'll get E12 as free if you buy S3 DLC, not sure. I was just wondering anyway, not planing to buy it on Steam. Seeing how long people on Steam/GOG had to wait on any new content it's quite obvious DPC want to put it out there even if it's a season yet to be completed both from financial perspective and fan base wise

Jacek Wiśniewski

I'm pretty sure the Interlude would not have been written if its content wasn't relevant to furthering the main story at some point.

Lady Linni

jacksonianmckee I dont think enough of us are supporting him for him to hire assistance :) Taking into account his time and needed to live Im sure he could use more supporters on Patreon!

Malathus

No, Season 3's final episode will be episode 12. So, we can suppose that there will be yet another year development cycle until season 3 is released on Steam and GoG.

Philippe D.R.

Personally, I love the Interlude and despite being allowed to skip it, I still play through it in every games. The Interlude adds a lot of background to the main character and to Zoey and it makes her return way more impactful than just her being the ex who ditched him and was kind of portrayed somewhat negatively until then. We now know that she's a good person who was, much like the MC, still searching for her true self and isn't coming back just to start trouble in the MC life and be a bad influence. They had a great relationship, but neither of them realized how important they were to each other.

Philippe D.R.

🙏🏻

Matthew

I keep saying this time and time again. People do not seem to understand the guy is doing this himself. Y’all knew what you were signing up for. I get impatient too but it’s with corporations, not with a dude single-handedly creating a game from scratch by himself.

jacksonianmckee

Im also not sold on the Steam model of me not actually owning my games....Thus GOG.

Malathus

I agree CST1992, before she was nothing but the ex that ditched us. Its always nice to get more context in the story if shes returning.

Malathus

WOW! Have patience, dude! Quality takes time, and DPC works alone. Episode 11 will be ready when it's ready, and it probably isn't too far off, anyway. Why not check out other games while you wait? There's even a site where you can demo several of them.

Colt J Huddleston

just elt him cook bro

ben healey

Happy birthday!

CST1992

Speak for yourself. Zoey deserved her own chapter. It added so much more weight to her character.

CST1992

I have bought every release of this game through the years, let’s go!!!!

Χρίστος Νικολάου

I'm sorry dude, but a whole calendar year without a new Chapter? You really should not have done The Interlude. It set back development of the main game and could have been told in a simple flashback. And you really should have released the first chunk of Chapter 11 today, if the whole Chapter isn't ready yet.

Mr. Nobody

I can't wait to see the next season epilogue. One last season to go! great job as always DPC!! Love you!

PewPwePew

Congrats DPK! What an awesome milestone, I wish you a Merry Christmas and look forward to playing Ep 11 in the new year. You work so hard working on this stellar project, please make sure to take time for yourself in the holidays, you deserve it 100 times over.

Confuzoled

Epic winning

Lucky Strike

Great news on my bday LMAO

Matthew

i love you game

Raul Musat

Probably, maybe. It's done when it's done really.

Scott

Wow! Sage is such a smokeshow, especially in that picture! I see sparks in those beautiful eyes as she's clearly deeply in love! That's good news indeed and have already added it in my wishlist. That must mean that episode 11 release is not too far away and that makes me rejoice. Thank you for your work Dr. and for adding a little bit of joy in our difficult lives.

Philippe D.R.

@Targonis, I didn't find this statement in the main store page(And rechecked), but seems like it's hidden in the 'Wishlist Season 3 today' post inside of it. So it seems that S3 will have EP12. Thanks for pointing into this statement.

vityan

You think the next episode will be done by end of year

john blanks

Raise your hand if you thought he was gonna give us a early release date 😂😂

Jdog

O.k. So I figured it wouldn't have much to do with me or how I play or download the game but I will purchase all future seasons on Steam just for my library and a fresh play through. Maybe then Gog but for now I'm digging the page on Gog. That Quinn pic, which may have been a render here on Patreon at one time, she looks about as close to crying as I have ever seen her. Always good stuff DPC. Have a great weekend.

Scott

Was thinking that alot was going on for 12 to be the last.

Malathus

Not the last, steam page says there will be a Season 4, so Episode 16 will be the last.

John Smith

Season 3 will be Interlude+episodes 9 through 12. There is no official post about season 4 yet, so anything about season 4 would be pure guesswork.

Targonis

Saddened that Episode 12 will be the last, but hoping it wont mean you stop making content entirely

Malathus

It has been close to two years since Episode 9 was completed(it was under News and Announcements). From the news postings on Steam: UPCOMING RELEASE POSTED Thu, January 6, 2022 Being a DIK - Season 2: Release date! Being a DIK - Season 2 is coming to Steam on January 6, 2022. Then: NEWS POSTED Sat, December 3, 2022 Happy Holidays, DIKs and HOTs! Season 3 is now 33% complete With Episode 9 completed in December, Season 3 is now 33% complete. Love Dr PinkCake Then: NEWS POSTED Sat, November 18, 2023 Season 3 news Season 3 is ~60% complete! Today, I can announce that the Episode 10 development is complete and the episode is being beta tested. With the completion of Episode 10, Season 3 now stands at ~60% total completion. Currently, Season 3 consists of Episode Interlude, Episodes 9 and 10. Episodes 11 & 12 remain to be developed before Season 3 is complete. Season 3 is roughly 12 GB today, including 12,000 images, 700 animated scenes, and 80 new songs. Season 3 is already comparable to Season 2 in size and content, even when two episodes remain to be developed. Among the improvements you'll discover in Season 3, you'll find an overall higher image and animation quality. I've also developed new exciting mini-games for this season. Thanks for your support and patience while I'm putting all my efforts into developing the best game I can create. Love Dr PinkCake That post from November 18th, 2023 was the last official post prior to the Season 3 available to be wishlisted post from today. So, we have the next post, which should be when Episode 11 is completed, then the post after that for when Episode 12 is completed.

Targonis

That is due to the laws in Germany, not because of anything DPC can control.

Targonis

Season 3 is Interlude plus episodes 9-12. From the store page: "After I conclude the development of Episode 11, only one more episode remains to be developed before I can bring Season 3 to you on Steam." So, even though you can wishlist season 3, we still need to wait for episode 11 to be completed(no announcement on that yet), and then for episode 12 to be developed. We are at over the one year mark for episode 11 since the announcement that 10 was done.

Targonis

Episodes 11 and 12 will come to Patreon as each get completed. This just sets it up so people can wishlist the season for those who are not on Patreon yet.

Targonis

From the actual store page on Steam: "After I conclude the development of Episode 11, only one more episode remains to be developed before I can bring Season 3 to you on Steam." That's not in my own words, so no confusion that Episode 12 still needs to be done before it comes to Steam. There are things that would be considered a spoiler, so I won't say them here, and that is a good reason to go at least the $1/month tier to discuss this stuff on the Discord spoilers channel where you know you aren't breaking any rules by talking about stuff that is in season 3. I do expect another official news post once Episode 11 is completed.

Targonis

Felicidades, I'm pretty sure it is an amazing work!

Jose

Germany banned the game because you see nudity... but killing people in video games is OK... no further comment. But use a VPN and enter from a different country or use TOR browser.

Nordwolf

No, include the Interlude in your logic. It is the dividing split between two equal parts :-D

Nordwolf

Not sure how it on Steam, but on GOG it works with VPN entering from a different country. Or use TOR browser.

Nordwolf

I have to say the video that's on steam is brilliant. Wish listed on both.

Lee Wallis

Me, too. Same on GoG. Use a VPN and enter from a different country. Or TOR browser.

Nordwolf

Congrats! Will definitely buy it from GoG again when it is out. If you sometimes find the time to include achievements for GoG, too, this would be great. The perfect opportunity to play it all from scratch again :-D Just read the teaser for the upcoming episode... and my first thought was simply: "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck." ("Winter has come. A fight breaks out and you're left wondering who you can trust. While some grow closer than before, others may never return to what they once were. ")

Nordwolf

@Jeffrey Pantaleon Thats a confusing part. EP11 isn't out yet(But can be almost ready) and EP12 shall take another 1y+(Even 1.5y+). So, announce of Steam version seems unlikely to be such, long time in advance, but quite matching the EP11 upcoming release. DPC didn't release WIP seasons before on Steam, if I remember correctly(As this would compete with Patreon tiers among other reasons). We are speculating anyway. Maybe, indeed Doc prepared the pages in advance for EP12, as I saw devs announcing games even 2y in advance in some cases. If it was to be close, Steam would mark it as 'Available 2025', instead of 'Available soon'...

vityan

Thank you soooo much for listing it on GoG too! It went straight to my wishlist and will be bought the MINUTE it comes out!

Ben

Actually it would be awesome (for us Germans) if we could buy the Steamkey somehow - with a key we are at least able to add games and play them via steam...

Demetos

That's great news! All ready wish listed. thank you for all your hard work Doc!

Darren Robinson

This is awesome. Already on my Wishlist on Steam for both of them. Edit: Sage looks so hot on the promo logo. +1000 on that alone

Etienne Rosel

Nah looks like after episode 12, if you scroll down on the Steam page it says it'll include episodes 9-12 but I'm not sure if it's going to be available to buy before episode 12 or not since it's 11 that's he's currently working on.

Jeffrey Pantaleon

Really?

Víctor

That’s great stuff Doc! Thanks for everything.

Kenny

Congrats!!!

Kurmblog

@DPC, Just to be sure, Does it mean you'll close the S3 with EP11, or S3 will be released after and including EP12? The Sage's park(From end of S2) logo is so romantic :) Dreaming of Sage,JoJo,Jill quadrupple path xDDD

vityan

I am german so Steam wont let ne even Look at the page.

Till Jagodzinski

Sage looks absolutely fire, ive wish listed everything on GOG, Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do Dr Pink, i hope you have a good rest of the week.

Tim Anderson

Congrats Doc, already wishlisted! The preview screenshots look... promising. Have a great weekend!

AfterLife

Nice! So, is Season 3 going to be on a separate launcher ? I thought I've read something along those lines a few months ago.

TheFalcon44

Wishlisted on both Steam and GOG. ✅

Calhoun28

i have been waiting 2 years for this i’m so excited

mauricio vargas

So are you saving 11 and 12 for release or are they coming out on patreon as well?

Frosty

I gotta ask this. So Season 3 is include ep 9 - 11 and interlude right? *Guys, In steam page it say that Ss3 is include ep 9-12 and Interlude.

29Sheryl

Grats on the support on Steam and GoG. I dont like Steam personally, but definately check out new content on GoG frequently.

Malathus

I already wish listed both season 3 and the guide on steam before I came here!!!

Nightpopcorn456

Being in Germany - I don't have access :-(... But other than that congrats!

Demetos

Hello Doc, I'm really happy for you and I hope that the new season will be a total success for you again. You and BaD deserve it. Thank you again for your commitment. We really appreciate it and are really looking forward to the next episode. And Sage looks fantastic as always. We love her to bits and she's the best cast for such great news. Have a great weekend and stay healthy to you and everyone else.

Lilatentakel

what the hell steam does not sell this in Germany

Roger Ruesch

On my wishlist and ready to buy as soon as it drops.

Stuart Chapman

I didn't even think all of season two was out on steam yet... But this is great news! Excited to see what season 3 brings. Apparently, I have some catching up to do on season 2 lol

R1Hokage

Yes there is no chance for Germans to buy these games or see these sites...

Oliver Segelhorst

The only true way to finish is to have 4 EPs finishing with 16, 4 per Season Perfectly balanced, as all things should be* *Forget the S3 interlude exist in my logic 🤣🤣

GalaxyXYZ

Dang, some of these new preview pics are incredible! Looking forward to some of these scenes so badly in Ep11

Buckeyerard

Does it mean Ep 11 is Season 3 Finale?

Jacek Wiśniewski

Will season 4 be multiple episodes like Season 3 or is Ep12 that it?

Jotohl

I don't get access to the GOG page - is this the same issue as with steam (no access in Germany)?

Admiral von Schneider

Woot grats DPC I'm hoping that you were in time for the steam awards

Alex

Awesome news! We got a beautiful image of our Sage 😍! Excellent cover girl 🥰! Steam and GOG players are in for a treat (unless they're already Patreon supporters 😅). Edited I won't be able to make it on Discord. Someone couldn't make it to work. Now, I'll have to cover for them last minute 😮‍💨.

Jonathan Hang

It is around 9 Central, this must be the special announcement

Robbie Abalos

Wow, I honestly wasn't expecting this kind of announcement. Very cool.

ZackNero03

Oh yeah! That's a good news!

Ichiban Kasuga

Unexpected news! Awesome🖤

batyoxide

Was that the special announcement? Thats cool

Just Random Man

Awesome

Nightwing

Awesome news!

Have the Mac version from here, but I notice the Steam version isn't listed. Is that an option in the future?
