Final Status update Episode 10

All right, here we go. It's time for the final status update for episode 10.

Special Announcement

Today, I'm pleased to announce a collaboration with a punk rock band named Dirty Toy Company.

Dirty Toy Company has graciously provided songs for Being a DIK, and their song "Over the Horizon" will be the title song of Being a DIK - Season 3 going forward.

With a punk rock sound, full of heavy and melodic riffs with attitude, I'm proud to shine a spotlight on them in the game and have them elevate it with their music.

On top of "Over the Horizon", you will also hear their songs "Stand and Fight" and "Burn You Down" in the game - starting Episode 10.

Please show our new Maggot brothers a warm welcome to the DIK family.

You can support them by giving them a follow or stream on Spotify - all their social media links can be found here.

Beta testing

Beta testing started this week. Testers and proofreader are hard at work.

Bugs and typos are being found and fixed, and they have an extensive checklist of things to test.

It's too early to say how things are going, as they've only had their hands on the episode for a couple of days and have just scratched the surface.

Patch information

The full game .zip file (v0.10.0) will be roughly 12 GB and the patch hovers around 5 GB.

The patch will only work on v0.9.0/v0.9.1 releases - meaning that if you only have episode Interlude, you must download the full version.

If you don't know how to patch or if this will be your first Patreon release, I'd recommend downloading the full version, with episode 10, when it releases.

If you are patching, make backup copies of your game before patching. Never patch Season 1 & 2 with Season 3 files. Doing this will corrupt your game. Treat Season 3 as a separate game, and you will avoid these problems.

Preliminary Changelog v0.10.0

I only listed the new content in this section. The full changelog will be included in the release.

-- Changelog v0.10.0 --

Added Episode 10 that includes

5868 renders

335 animations

8 2D-art pieces

4 2D-art animations

31 songs

65 sound effects

Regarding the release date announcement

As this was the final status update for episode 10, my next communication with you will be the release date announcement. It will be a December release, and I will be able to announce the date sometime this month, so stay tuned for it.

Thanks for your tremendous support and interest during this development cycle!

Big or small donations, you guys who stick with me throughout these development cycles are the MVPs.

I hope you will enjoy the upcoming episode.

Love

Dr PinkCake

Comments

This was an ABSOLUTE MONSTER OF EPISODE! It took me an entire week to only do one playthrough.I enjoyed playing episode 10 and the quality of renders and especially animations is just INSANE! I really liked all the animations especially the BBQ opening animation. I'm so excited for the future animations. There were so many great scenes and a true rollercoaster of emotions. Of course I can't mention everything in a single post, but I just wanted to say you did a great job once again DPC! Happy new year

Arta

Boys sage was absolutely stunning on our date who agrees?

Enzo

Yea I finally started getting better but you really have to try even on normal mode. I'm not as young as I used to be but I'd like to think i'm still farily quick with my reflexes and I do play actual video games quite often still but I just felt like there needed to be a chill mode. In case anyone is interested their is a fix for it if you seach certain places.

Dleep

lol git gud, I’m kidding man it took me a bit to get used to it, but it’s not bad just each fight is a lot longer also and the directional keys look makes me take half a second longer to register sometimes. I recommend putting more into power to end fight faster and I think it’s speed or move for longer duration of looking at combinations.

Hiroshi

Is there any chance you will be making the full picture set from the Halloween photoshoot available to players in game? I think that would be amazeballs

C3NTUR10N

Can we get an Easy difficulty for the new brawler game please?!! I really like the new way its done and overall the entire new Episode is great but goodness this new brawler is so difficult even on the easy setting that I am getting frustrated. I get that some really enjoy that grind but I much preferred the timing/ease of the old easy mode. I want to play and not turn of the mini games but I've gone thru 9 seasons feeling like a badass and now Troy keeps kicking my ass. lol

Dleep

Yeah... I have not had any issues with the game. Runs perfect on all paths.

Geekbone

I'm deleting comments that spoil the game for other users. I'm disabling comments on my page when I take naps as some link pirate sites to ruin my release. I'm more than happy to assist with bugs and crashes, but mods are out of my responsibility. You can always ask questions on my Discord server 24/7.

DrPinkCake

Why are you disabling comments for the crash in episode 10? Why are you deleting comments? Why are you leaving the people who have supported this game so long in the dark?

disc0llama

Started from the episode 1 witha fresh and new download of the game, deleted old version, still crash at the beginning of ep 10...

PSCL ART

i'm so exciting. i dont want to wait anymore!!

Batuhan Cüre

just take all my money, i live for your amazing games!

Koii

awsome cant wait!.. oh and can i say what a fine piece of cake!

Luis Meza

If you read the status updates, you would know the answer to that.

Targonis

Talk about the best Christmas!

Rellik6801

heard that cant wait to play the game<3

Twiisted Jack

December upgrade already scheduled :-)

Nordwolf

That F-ing G cord, eh? I guess all those guitar lessons paid off in the end. ∆IK 🍺

Calhoun28

I hope this signals perhaps MC comes across an amp/electric guitar and performs something rockish that even the Alphas have to admit bangs...love the classical guitar but one can hope his rockstar status isn't limited to pachelbel's canon and am radio...secret weapon=Z chord!

C3NTUR10N

Check rewards tiers, there should be info, from which tier you can download guilde.

Kudlak

stoked for it!

Chris Port

I feel that I should unlock a special render for that spot. ;D

Sinner

when will we be able to access it with a high subscription ?

Alexander Schöpf

Sweeet, can't wait!

Jonathan Karlsson

My body is ready

This or That

looking forward to it. Keep up the good work and are happy to support going forward

Lars Klüssendorf

If you ever need an extra set of eyes for proof reading, I would be more than happy to help. Looking forward to seeing the next episode/update!

Ryan Ebneter

I'm looking forward to seeing how things go with Quin and Lily. Threesome?

Scott

Will S3 10.0 come with an official walkthrough like other episodes? If so will it be free or an additional fee? (Doesn't matter to me either way, if it's available I'll pay for it, happily) I usually stay low on monthly subs to keep up to date with info, then increase my sub amount on release. Then when it becomes available buy it on steam (along with the official walkthrough) I just can't remember if your Patreon releases also have one.

NSFWpro

Sounds great! You definitely deserve to enjoy Christmas with your family, especially after all the hard work. Whenever you start working on the guide and have an idea on when it could be ready (no rush at all), I would really appreciate if you could share the timeline with us :D

Andy

Can't wait! This has been a fantastic game so far, eagerly anticipating what comes next!

John Anderson

follow your heart

Schobbob .

Two things that impact the release of the guide this time around is 1) Christmas, I'd like to spend some time with my family and 2) Ep10 needs several new sections to explain mini-games, on top of the big episode walkthrough section needed for all branches. I'll start working on it sometime after release, but as with everything else it's released when it's ready.

DrPinkCake

When could we expect the guide for this episode?

Andy

Ok, thank for info 🤣 then I made it up

Kudlak

This is Lewd GOTY sharing number one with BG3 GOTY - so freakin excited

Vanditao

If you befriend me 5 years ago lol. Sorry, but that's how my testers came to be. I need to have full trust in people who test my games ahead of time due to their popularity. I don't trust people without good reason and my team of testers and proofreader won't change by much.

DrPinkCake

DIK tier for current S3 if you want to play it now: Here is the post for it https://www.patreon.com/posts/75906459

DrPinkCake

When it's ready is always the answer.

DrPinkCake

Nice catch ;)

DrPinkCake

Dude, your patch is the size of most AVN full downloads...and I freaking love that! Looking forward to it. But now the ultimate question... which path do I playthrough first?

Blacklabyrinth

Lets goooooo

ohhavoc

Yay

Morgan

how does one become a tester i would love to help out if i can

Twiisted Jack

very excited to see the final result!

Simon08

I was honestly expecting Riona in the band since she's a semi metal head

Thomas Howard

i am from belgium and if you love rock then you should check them out. I heve seen them live and they are fantastic!! love your game Dr. lots of love from Belgium.

Kay

Niiiice, let's go! I'm very happy for you Pink. and damn, their music is really good, nice choice

Aeoyn

I'm not DPC obviously but from my understanding Steam/GOG releases are made possible only after the full season had been released on Patreon

Jacek Wiśniewski

Hi, I started following you on Patreon just a few days ago, and I guess this is a good way to ask a few questions. How can I play the episode 9 that has already been released? Do I need to upgrade to a higher tier to download the game? Question number 2: Will the Season 3 be released on Steam only when it's complete?

Jan Šerý

I think, I read (for previous release) that walkthrough should be ready/ update around mini dick release or did I made this up? Anybody?

Kudlak

This is so exciting! Can't wait to play!

sinema

Looks like Sage has abandoned open G for the barre G.

Sinner

I wonder if on the Bella route with Nora path open there will be rivalry between the two teachers?

Sinner

I doubt story will go for that long considering core of the story (parties and choosing the girl) and in a way you've already chosen a girl early on (somewhat forced to do it) no spoilers. But that would be cool if there could be an entire college experience. MC would've to mature and his relationships would have to mature and therefore become a bit "boring" though

Jacek Wiśniewski

Do we get a sneak peek on the new minigame or are we going to get that on release? :)

Filip

I'm listening to Dirty Toy Co. now. Love the new theme song! I'm digging their sound. Looking forward to playing ep10. So fucking psyched! Good stuff DPC. In honor of this post I'm going hard tonight on a Dirty Dik playthrough. Love ya DPC. Have a great weekend. Diks, rejoice, the end is near! Have a great weekend as well. I raise my Sam Adams to everyone else who supports this amazing game along side me. Cheers!

Scott

We've finally made it boys! 😭

Yang

Yooo nice cake DrPinkCake ! 😂 Very eager to play this episode, I already know it'll be a banger 🔥

Maxyoo28

You don't say, dude! I know what can be done in Settings as per Ep.9, but I'm asking DPC what exactly does he mean with: "and their song "Over the Horizon" will be the title song of Being a DIK - Season 3 going forward", and you are obviously not DPC ;)

roseopium

Gonna have to wait to listen to DTC music :(...I may find that I like it right now if I listened, but I have learned I will LOVE it when I hear it in context of gameplay visuals like every other track in the game. From classical guitar/piano to the hardest rock/metal...So many memorable moments in the game and the music is a huge part of what I feel and remember in every scene.....I can't believe how many TV commercials I have seen lately using tracks that I first heard in BaDIK, and too bad for those companies using them because I can only think of Being a DIK

C3NTUR10N

Thanks Doc! Not entirely related, but has anyone else here thought about how cool it would be if the story spanned multiple years at B&R and you get to experience being a maggot father to a pledge alongside Derek? Especially if your actions can influence what kind of brother they end up being? :D

Sean

Great news! Now the hardest part of waiting begins, close to the finish line 😬😬😬

Flover

What about Maya (that is Maya in the middle, right)? Rocking a new hairstyle just for this occasion, looking badass 😎

Flover

That's awesome news. Wishing you a great release in Dec!

Aerdan

Best time of the year, this: Release getting closer! Also, Checked out the new song on Spotify. Surprisingly good listening!

Neopherus

what a nice christmas gift. can't wait to play it and see how all the routes progress. thanks for this update you made my week hehe you and your family have a great week end Doc. 🤘

Galaaz

No kidding. The Doc told us the ep will be big, but holy s*it ,5 GB alone for episode 10? First two seasons was around 20 GB, the third alone may surpass that. I have to think about prioritizing my porn from now on.

Flover

Nice one DPC. It was always great to read your status updates and your passion has always been inspirational. 💯🍁

Arta

It can, and always could be changed in the settings ;)

Geo Ryd

Thx

A10forthewin

I didn't see such question in previous comments and sorry in advance if I am repeating it: DrPinkCake, is 'Over the Horizon' going to be the title song with no option for change from now on or is it only the default one and player can change it according to their own taste? (I heard the song and honestly it's not the tune that i imagine listening everytime I launch the game, haha)

roseopium

ok So im gonna break out the christmas music early and wait for the release date announcement. lemme go get the eggnog as well. have a good weekend DOC!! YES THE PROMISED LAND IS HERE!!!!!

Jdog

Generous offer and mad respect for it! Welcome guys! On the changelog... Doc, you outdid yourself again. Will EP11 be over 6k? 😀

AfterLife

Agree!

AfterLife

Christmas starts early this year, fellas!

Jonathan Hang

That all sounds great. Yeah

ZeroOne

DPC has his small group of beta testers and proofreaders set. There is nothing to apply for or to be notified about.

Thor von Fiddle

I love the band collaboration news. We gotta get their listens up fam. Bombard the streaming services.

Bamfzilla

Happy to hear the return of the punk sound

Blue

DPC has a fixed team of beta testers, it's not a Patreon perk. :)

SirBlack

A10forthewin

Welcome - really really excited - can't wait

A10forthewin

That's a great news ! I mean the release, the DTC group is not really my cup of tea...

La-bulle

Welcome maggot brothers^^

DolphLundGrenGun

Hell yeah

BlackFish

Had a listen to a few other songs from Dirty Toy Company and they fit in excellently. Welcome to the DIK family. Can't wait to get into the new chapter as well.

Lee Wallis

Oh December get here soon! :D

Sirloki

RMZ

Jono Say

yannick el manssouri

Time to for some deep stretching and revisit/warm up my playthroughs. Seriously guys, don't try and jump into ch10 cold, you will definitely pull a hammy. From ch1 opening theme music to waking up the day after Halloween bash, its been a hell of a ride so far Doc. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You should notice a large bump in subscription income as I elevate my tier again in gratitude!! :)

C3NTUR10N

This update is music to my ears. Thanks for all your work.

R2D2TS

The Hype is real! Only a couple more weeks for the next episode of this masterpiece. Exciting news as well about the collab with the Dirty Toy Company. I'm not familiar with them yet, but will definitely give them a listen. If they want to be DIKs and the Doc approves, they must have something about them. Welcome Maggot brothers!

Chillhelm

Some folks have compiled chapter playlists on SoundCloud if that is helpful to you at all....I listen to them quite often when I am driving

C3NTUR10N

GAY PORN HARD

Martyn Thomson

I see, and thanks for answering me, doc. 😊

29Sheryl

So so hyped for the next chapter on this epic story!!! Thanks Doc for all the effort and can’t wait to see where you take us next! 🍻

Cortez

Listening to Dirty Toy Company now, and yeah if you told me these songs were already in the game I'd believe you. They perfectly match the Dik soundtrack.

Lonald Howard

Thanks for the update as always DPC 👍🏻😊🍻

Matthew Flynn

Sorry, but that's not my call. Licensing doesn't work that way.

DrPinkCake

Cant wait 🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Omar Hashem

I want to ask: Is there a chance that every song in the game will be available to listen to on the Spotify app? I know some songs are already available on Spotify, but most songs in the game are not, so if you can make it possible for every song in the game to be able to be listened to through Spotify, it would be great.

29Sheryl

Beautiful

Stephen Birdsong

Much excite and slight trepidation as to where the story will go! Ch 10, here we come!

Mangetsu

Merry Fucking Christmas! You Rock DPC! 🤘🖤🤘 Time to begin all my new playthroughs!
