Frequently asked questions
Added 2020-10-22 09:57:40 +0000 UTCMy inbox gets swamped easily these days, and I have no way of answering all messages.
Most questions that you send me are of a nature that can be answered with a FAQ post and I will try to answer and refer to this FAQ in the future.
Furthermore, I ask that you don't message me unless it's urgent. While I appreciate your message, it clogs up my inbox, and I have a hard time finding urgent messages regarding payment and things that aren't working properly.
I'm more likely to answer your question in public if you comment on my recent posts. That way, more people will see the answer, and if I'm not answering, many who know the answer will.
That said, here are some frequently asked questions and answers to them. I will add to this post when there are new questions.
Q: Can I use the Steam version with the Patreon patch?
A: No. They are two separate versions. You will need the base Patreon game to use the patch.
Q: Where do I download your games on Patreon?
A: Check the welcome message for all links. Alternatively, sort my posts using the tag "Release". The pinned post is always the latest update of Being a DIK.
Q: How often do you release updates?
A: When they are ready. I have no schedule. I work as hard and as fast as possible every day.
Q: Can I work for you/help you out with anything?
A: No, thank you. I'm not looking to hire staff and want to do everything alone.
Q: Can I beta-test for you?
A: No, thank you. I have a full team of trusted testers and am currently not looking for more.
Q: Can I translate the game for you into my language?
A: No, thank you. I'm not looking to hire or collaborate with translators. I tried that in the past, and it wasted too much time without anything to show for it.
Q: I didn't get a role when joining your discord server. How do I get one?
A: First, make sure that your discord account is connected here. Disconnect and reconnect using that page if you are using another discord account. Early month, every month, the Discord bot has a lot of work to do. It can take 2-3 days for your role to register. Have patience during this time and try to reconnect if it didn't help.
Q: Are you going to make a sequel to Acting Lessons or work on more content for it?
A: It's not in any current plans or near-future ones. I'm not shutting the door to it, but I have other things on my plate I want to do before I even consider such a project.
Q: Are you planning to make merch for your games?
A: It's not in any current plans or near-future ones, and I'm not interested in offers to help me with this.
Q: Are Acting Lessons and Being a DIK connected?
A: Acting Lessons and Being A DIK are separate games without any connection. Being A DIK was originally intended to be a prequel to Acting Lessons, but the idea was scrapped since it would force me to write the story in a certain way. You can still see common names and references in Being A DIK that were mentioned in Acting Lessons, i.e. DIKs, HOTs, Roy = Troy.

Any plans down the road to have this to be available for IOS or Android? I understand it won't be a priority anytime soon as the game on it's current platform takes priority. I couldn't find anything regarding this which is why I ask.

2022-08-28 19:25:36 +0000 UTCI just noticed there is no more update about the SWYPER after change into the new smartphone. Why is that? Do you have any plan about newthings of SWYPER (or story about Ellie) in the future?

2021-11-26 16:05:29 +0000 UTCI don't think you need to worry. I don't get any sense that there will be something between Bella and Jill. There may have been some relationship between Bella and Jill's sister, and after Jill's sister died Bella took over that sister roll, but I just don't see any sexual relationship happening with Bella and Jill. But who knows?

2020-10-31 17:59:33 +0000 UTCI have at least be able to afford to pay 40 dollars to become a Patreon, I just ask you please try not to introduce more lesbianism or bisexuality between the main girls apart from Josy and Maya of course. I mean the revelation of their relationship was a major turning point in the story and after viewing their true love background story and all the problems they have faced, also realizing they didn't want to betray anyone and truly love each other and Mc, you find yourself loving them even though you normally don't like polyamory relationships at all. But when can I say your girls are special but please more of that will get old and don't feel right so try not to introduce it between Jill and Isabella, please. Leave whatever they have that drunk night as just a simple mistake and not develop it further, please. Well it's just a wish and a suggestion, you are the creator and I love your game, It changed my life since I played it 2 months ago, Its the best and most amazing story I've seen in a game so far. I can't wait for the next update <3

2020-10-31 03:03:24 +0000 UTCIt's hard to manage the pool of subscribers you have XD, I think you are the most successful adult game developer, good luck and keep the amazing work, your games are the best and the only ones who take drama, story and romance seriously, beside of course character and relationship development and fucking amazing music.

2020-10-31 02:56:34 +0000 UTCMy issues with the choice dilemma are not a criticism of DPC's talent or mastery of craft, simply a personal preference.

2020-10-25 10:13:16 +0000 UTCI actually commend Dr Pink for forcing the choice in AL. It was a brave decision to force the player to make an impossible choice.

2020-10-25 00:49:43 +0000 UTCimagine sporting one for a Halloween party and somebody comes up to you and knows what that jacket is from <3

2020-10-24 00:10:26 +0000 UTCYeah, I absolutely hated that, then when it got into the emotional trauma segment, I walked away from the game for weeks! eventually came back an finished it, but I found it tough.
Paul Cormier
2020-10-23 23:06:24 +0000 UTCI agree with AL and DIK being separated. I almost had a freaking stroke when in AL I couldn't rescue both girls from the fire.

2020-10-23 12:21:52 +0000 UTCI have to admit buy a DIK jacket would be cool merchandise . :)

2020-10-22 12:53:50 +0000 UTCI just read the post as 'leave me alone untill I contact you' keep up the good work😀

2020-10-22 10:54:48 +0000 UTCWow I honestly did not know you do EVERYTHING by yourself. Damn I support some people on here but you are by far the most talented all around. Much deserved :)
Andrew
2020-10-22 10:53:56 +0000 UTCAbout the translation, what if fans do it for free so you dont need to add hire anyone?

2020-10-22 10:48:23 +0000 UTC* but please focus on the release... ;-p
Doug Bliss
2020-10-22 10:15:38 +0000 UTCYeah, as pricey as a DIK jacket would need to be, it would be a good product, but even if you don't have plans for it now, it might be worth seeking a TM on the design.
Doug Bliss
2020-10-22 10:15:15 +0000 UTCActing Lessons in my view is perfect and should be left as is. I know people love more content in a world they enjoy but some things are best left perfectly formed. Leave them wanting more!
