Release date announcement

The release dates for Episode 7 - True Colors are as follows:

+$25 tiers: Friday, April 23

+$10 tiers: Monday, April 26

$5 tier: Friday, May 7 (Patch only. Requires v0.6.0 or v0.6.1.)


DIKs! The wait is almost over!

Beta testing has yielded great results and helped the episode get more polished than it was.

There are still some kinks to work out, and after that, there's the general preparation for release left on my end; but today, I'm feeling confident that I can deliver on this release date.

If you plan to play the game on the release day, I advise you to download the full game before release and then download the smaller patch during release day.

This will get you playing the game faster as servers will be stressed during this time.

The estimated download size for v0.7.0 is 14.5 GB for the full game and 4.1 GB for the patch.

I've tried my best only to include what's necessary for the patch, and, as always, my content is compressed and lossless.

You can only patch versions v0.6.0 and v0.6.1 from my Patreon page. As always, the Patreon version isn't compatible with Steam.

If you're unsure about how to patch the game, you can save yourself the headache and download the full game at release.

I hope you will enjoy this release, and a thank you to all for sticking with me through the development.

Your patience and the trust you put in me make me stay focused and healthy.

This project is only possible because of your support.

Let the countdown begin!

Love

Dr PinkCake

Comments

Excellent as always! Can't wait for the next Episode.

Andy Lockhart

It's usually updated once all tiers have access

Does anyone has problem with upgrading to 15$ tear, using credit card. Never had issue, but today for past 10 hours, I'm getting payment declined. :(

Luksa

Any update for the full-guide of ep7?

Book Natthaphorn

A few of them definitely needs some attention. +1

AfterLife

I think in future updates there should be a "Doctor's Choice" where DPC picks a girl for a small special render set in additional to the polled ones. This would help balance out the numbers a bit and might lead to great renders of girls who never/ would never get picked in the polls.

JasonG

It's live now for the $10 tier! Enjoy!

DrPinkCake

It's live now for the $10 tier! Enjoy!

Lectiuss

Christian

Invincible season 1 so far might be my fav season of a superhero show ever

darkkeg .

I've been meaning to watch it actaully

Christian

yeah. Just got done watching invincible. Highly Recommend

darkkeg .

In all seriousness, I cant wait to see more of what Tremolo and Derek get up to

Con Pantazidis

so uh.. change of topic but anyone else waiting for the new episode of FATWS also while we wait for ep.7 ? lmao

Christian

you'll be waiting for sometime

Jamison

I'm just waiting to see that patch link now!!!

Robert Wolfe

@Xan You also have to take into account the multiple paths for the main girls. DPC has to create scenes for Sage, Josy/Maya, Jill and Bella. Granted there will most likely be a lot of scenes that overlap, but as the game progresses, so do the paths as well as the ep size.

Jamison

its says 4.1 GB in the post so prob take 1-2 hours with all routes

RedZer

how big

Jayden

My man always delivery

HJZero Gaming

Biggest update yet, so I’d say longer than any other previous one

Xan

How long is this Episode going to be I wonder I hope long.

HJZero Gaming

Yes

Xan

well said

gk22

Yes, b ut have you seen her husband? *no spoilers* but, hey, she wants it the same way he does, so well see.

xGamblex

Yes indeed, without giving away spoilers, I think its about time, their dynamic went further

xGamblex

She's married, you DIKs :D

The Exception

Um... yeah? :D Dude, check the wardrobe in the room with some moon globe)

The Exception

Well that's just sort of the dynamic there with her so yeah. Without saying much more, it's by design (I'm assuming.) I'm betting though in EP 7, we're getting more xD.

jakethesnake3333

I love this game so much, for the story and for the adult content, it actually feels like you are inside the game, you are drawn into it. HAVING SAID THAT, I would love a longer and more passionate scene with Isabelle, the teasing is just not enough. Love the game.

xGamblex

Ok am I the only one that can’t find the suit in episode 6???

Robert Wolfe

ep 5 released about 6am CST (U.S.), and ep 6 released about 7am CST. If those two eps can be any indication.

Jamison

Unlikely. DPC didn't specifically choose the time, but he plans to release it on the mentioned date.

Waiter

I'm wondering if it will release once midnight hits anyone knows??

Merky

Is it Friday yet?

Martin Gilchrist

No release time specified. It will drop when I'm ready to post it.

DrPinkCake

Quick question: What is the standard time of the release date? Is it the pacific time zone?

Waiter

I didn't think I'd find a post this touching on this forum, to be honest. I feel for you and have been through things like that too so I can relate. I hope everything turns out to be ok. Take care of yourself, too. You said your thoughts are not healthy, and that's understandable. I just hope they do get better, though, and you don't let yourself drown in those thoughts. I have hope, since the rest of your message shows positivity towards this community and the world. I wish everybody thought like that, and that those who do, like myself, would talk about it more. Let's be nice to each other, even if we don't always agree or understand each other. I hope you have time to play this game this week-end, or do anything else you like to distract you a little. I sincerely hope you and your family get better. Take care.

Reboot

you'll have precise instructions together with all the needed files in a winrar/7zip patch archive. If I remember correctly (it's been a while..) you just copy the files from the patch archive to BaDIK game folder and overwrite everything. It's very easy to do. (correct me if I misremember..)

Lectiuss

hey quick question what files to i need too replace too install the newest patch?

rogghuggcogg

Minimum tier for the download of the patch is 5$ and you need to already have patreon version of the game in order to patch it, steam version is separate version and CANNOT be patched Edit: with tier 10$ you can download the patreon version of BaDIK so that you can keep it on the drive to apply the patch when new episode releases

Lectiuss

So, I can only afford to pay 1$ per month, will I have access to the patch? Thanks anyway, the game is really nice.

Pablo Prieto Rodriguez

I haven't started working on the walkthrough, and there's no date or ETA for it. Managing the release and any bugs take priority for me.

DrPinkCake

Agreed been wanting that

IamaStone

it might there is no date on it im thinking it might take longer this time around. I think there are more paths in this episode than others kinda like ep4

Ruthless

Just a quick question DPC, Im guessing the Walk through will be coming within the next couple of weeks? Anyways, thanks for all the amazing work I cant wait to play on the 23rd Have great one!

Alexander Pires

Man oh man

Xan

OMG that would be so awesome, she really does need a dick slap!!!

Phillip

I'm hoping we get something with h Heather, y'all

Jonez Lee

hope there will be a lewd scene with Lily. My fav girl.

gk22

I can't wait to see episode 7

Eren

I cannot wait to see Episode 7!

fwy1991

So glad to see this today! Thanks so much for all your hard work, Doc. I cannot wait to see what you've done in Episode 7!

OriginalKJak

Thanks

So... long post, tangentially related to the game... and that tangent starts with me sitting here on the music menu, listening to a handful of specific tracks because, oddly enough, they merge well when I'm in a thinking mood. Odd, really, listening to the soundtrack of a pr0n game, for the sake of thinking about things that aren't pr0n related. Still, point being, my father has spent all but three days of the last three weeks in the hospital with what they're calling cluster migraines (not cluster headaches), and wild swings in blood pressure that has caused multiple strokes. He was released last week but ended up going right back a few hours later thanks to me catching that his BP had spiked. He could've died, probably would've died if I hadn't been there. My mom figured it was aftermath from the hospital stuff, not its return. And so... I've become really contemplative the last few days. We're not out of the woods yet, after all, even if things have been better. There are a lot of things you think you know, or you'd think you'd seen enough to get it at a gut-level. Things like the ephemeral nature of life, how nothing is permanent. Dr. PinkCake has a few tracks on here that really seem to reinforce thinking about that shit for me. There are huge number of things spinning around in my head right now, not all of them healthy, none of them fun, and I haven't been able to disentangle any of them to deal with them at all. I guess there's a few things I can say though. Tell your loved ones you love them. You never know when your last opportunity to speak to a person will be and you'll spend the rest of your life regretting the words you should've said but didn't. And... I know, since we're all here because we shared only a single point, a desire to see an adult game that didn't suck get made, then there's a *WIDE* variety of opinions and beliefs represented here. I can't help but be happy that people have been respectful, or at the very least I've missed those moments when people haven't been. This place is like a minuscule island of sanity for me sometimes, given how utterly crazy everyone on every side seems to have become lately, which is, itself, kinda crazy when you think about it. Anyway, I don't care how much we might disagree if we met in real life, I hope folks here stay safe and can find a place where they can be happy... and I hope we can find a way to stop being assholes to each other in the bigger world we're all averting our eyes from when we're playing this game... because if we can't... well... tell your loved ones you love them while you can.

Jason

Alright! Thx boss!

Alexandre Desrochers

Yeah, I bet, but for me, the week will fly as I work with the preparations and all. And when release comes, it's the busiest time for me with helping players with any issues and whatnot. I'll squeeze in a rest sometime after that. :)

DrPinkCake

You can check the current release for v0.6.1 for patch information. It's the same but with a different patch.

DrPinkCake

Noob question, but where do you put the patch to add it to the game? :) im new here, btw it is one of my favorite game 👌👌 thx drpink for everything you've done for us 😁

Alexandre Desrochers

The first, longest week of this year. Second one going to be the week before EP8 release. Have a long rest on the next weekend Doc!

AfterLife

Weirdly I am more excited for this episode than I am for RE8 and ME trilogy. I cannot wait to play it :D

anthony curtis

Then you're going to have to wait until a while after Episode 8 is out

BananaMan

Great work! I can't wait to continue the story, looking at the size of the update I get the idea that this will probably be the biggest and best episode in the game so far

Adrijus

I'm excited really, but I'm waiting for the Steam full release 😄

Oleg Daev

Great work, I really enjoy your game. Each character had a good depth and background. Game play are fun and story are kept interesting throughout all the season. Most games I'd probably played once and not bother finding out other paths I missed but definitely will try to unlock all the scenes and story.

Lau Kong Chee

Just upgraded my membership because I can't wait extra 3 days XD

Waiter

I appreciate it!

DrPinkCake

Salute!

GolamZ

I love the excitement from this community, I’m hyped af!!

GH0STD3LTA

Finally, we can get beck to our second life's. :D and don't worry DOC it's worth waiting you give us awesome experience. :)

Giedrius

OMG YES!!!!

Bunduru

usually it's a couple weeks after the last tier gets the patch, so 3rd or last week of May...probably

Jamison

There's no ETA for a Steam release. You can't patch the Steam version and the saves are treated as two different games. You don't have to worry about keeping both versions as long as you don't actively try to modify the games with code and/or saves.

DrPinkCake

Just thinking outload. I try to find patterns in occurrences, and develop assumptions (and see how those assumptions play out in time) with stories I get interested in. You would have to admit that seeing Josy living in the HOT house now, Maya (probably) still in her dorm might cause some tension, thusly create a small schism, which could develop into a larger one throughout the course of the game. I'll be curious how the story unfolds in time.

Jamison

You don't even need to delete anything. I have both, it's fine.

The Exception

it's a copy & paste operation in the /game directory. Overwrite all.

Jamison

I think you may be reading too much into this. If DPC compiled a promo banner with Tybalt, Rusty, Chad, and Magnar instead of the girls what would that imply?

Thor von Fiddle

I am the king of new games. Up to 300 with FO4. So I could just download DIK from here and delete my file in Steam without conflict?

Michael Newton

@michael Newton same here, I bought it on Steam, then became a Patreon after finding the Steam version was only up to episode 4 while the one here was up to 6. I'd rather support the dev directly anyway, and there are extras here like the renders and walkthroughs.

Dave Davidson

Awesome, great news.

Blacklabyrinth

Well if you are subscriber , i suggest that you download the game again( from patreon) .But, you probably gonna have to start from scratch, because i don't think your steam saves are compatible with the patreon version.

Mitsuru

I am a Patron but got on board only after finding DIK and downloading from Steam..

Michael Newton

Sorry to say, but for adult VN, patreon or subscribestar are really the best options. Unless you fancy japanese anime girls.

Mitsuru

Well, it's gonna take a while. It's not like it happens before ep. 8, wich is about 4 months from now, so... Try to stay patient, I guess..? Or you can become a patron, cause it's cool and helpful for DrPInkCake, wich is cool and helpful for everyone here in return of course)

The Exception

Well i turn 39 on that day so increasing my pledge to 25$. Thanks for the great story Dr PinkCake. Also will be hungover the next morning.

Alpha Protagonist

And I can almost guarantee it will be less buggy.

Bobscratch

I have the Steam version. How long after a Patreon release do we Steamheads get it? Thanks..

Michael Newton

Well i got 4 saves all ready and waiting. Great story and artwork mate, came for the tits, stayed for the story..... and Isabella's ass.

Pyrforos

holy shit tits

Taylor Geary

Should be a good timeline anyway - Gives time to run through all the various playthroughs/save games and try to find things on your own - normally just need the walkthrough to catch the couple things I somehow miss.

Furrow

Awesome! It's finally the weekend and now I have something to look forward to for next weekend. So stoked about this update and ready to jump back into it.

Ardor

Bella’s looking awfully sus here...

Brian West

Excellent news, so I’m guessing by the timeline for this release we won’t be seeing the walkthrough for episode 7 until June at the earliest?

Phillip

Yes! YES!!

Gn753

You shouldn't have to worry about starting from the beginning if you don't patch. Saves are stored in 2 places, so once you boot up a fresh install, it should pick up your saves automatically.

BoxerB

I see what you did there)

The Exception

BELLA .... OMG!

ICE-QUEEN

Man you're awesome i cant wait

a3zs

Awesome! :)

Alexander Hochbaum

You made my day) YES)

The Exception

Probably, because this is way better than "Cyberpunk 2077" if you ask me.

The Exception

Great news, can't wait!

goodtimes710

Excited to play it :) looking forward to it :) Keep up the good work.

Fonzy

Michael LuPayne

You're doing the Lord's work, Doc!

T'Gran

Thanks!! Lady Isabella here we go :D

Machina4K

Fuck yes!

RiffRaff

The hype is bigger than it was for cyberpunk 2077

rasberry

thank you!!

DC251

You don't have to worry about losing any saves whether you choose to patch or download the full game. Patching just makes the download size smaller but you will end up with the same files after you copy-paste the patch content into v0.6.0 or v0.6.1. If you want patch instructions, check the current release thread for information on it.

DrPinkCake

How do you "patch" the game? I became a patron after 6 was already released so i downloaded full game, but how do you actually patch the game so i dont have to go waste my 20+ playthroughs lol

DC251

FINALLY!!!!! THE BEST DOCTOR EVER IN THE WORLD....

Ryo Akashi

Can't wait, its my early day at work to so I'm so happy 👏

Chicken

It’s the final countdown!!!! BA DA DO DO! BA DA DO DO DO! BA DA- crap. Gotta pay royalties now. 😖

captain_click_track

Oh my god, i wait such a long time

Ivan

Cant wait to start another playthrough and see the new stuff!

Hamish Callander

Hell yeah.. I can't wait

Martyn Romaine

He's doing the steam releases in season blocks. Season 1 was chapters 1-4 so the next steam release won't be until after chapter 8 at the earliest I believe.

Fyrtue

So I guess the whole Maya father thing is a massive thing, since Maya isn't even in the banner.

Jamison

Can’t wait!!!!’

Michael Anders

For me it's her resting bitch face that puts me off, don't hate her but not interested either.

John Lyon

Can’t wait😫

Callum Burton

I'm so thrilled to finaly get to play this new chapter! Based on what you have delivered to us before, this will be fantastic! Thank you :)

Like this if your jizz is ready for the following Friday

Jayden

Nice doc!!! Thank u

RedBaron

I know there is light at the end of the tunnel, for my MC it's probably a diesel engine.

hisstoryman

Yessssssss!

NeilatLarge

lets hope I can patch the game im always terrible at these things. If not I don't mind downloading the full game and playing from the beginning. Thanks for the amazing news.

Gray

She's not my favourite but I don't hate her.

Echo CT-1409

whoa 4.1 GB for a single patch? Damn, can't wait! Thanks for all your hard work again DPC!

Qayen

I really don't get why so many in the community dislike her lol, she's my fav main girl alongside Sage, they're both tied behind Quinn for my overall fav xD

Qayen

Horray! Fantastic news!

Angus Stormwind

Every main girl but Maya in the picture, she was also absent in the previews too...

Echo CT-1409

I was literally just thinking about when you announce this, I’m so hyped congrats bro

Drousin

Looks like time to take a couple of days off work next week. Woooo!!!

Andres Reyes

*canceling weekend plans for next week* Legit question, is there an expected time for the release? (preferably with timezone so us Europeans can figure out when it is :) )

Nighteyes

4.1GB just for the patch! Oh My Lanta. This is going to be fucking awesome.

Sean

YES

Xan

Time to bump up my package, baby😩
