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.

Dr PinkCake Season 2 is 75% finished!Apr 28, 2021 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36058373/a47c98060ec390132c8d7dfad0db8162107eba7c.jpg The development of the second season of Being a DIK just hit 75% completion. The second season will be bigger than Season 1 and include four brand new episodes. So far, with one episode left to develop before I can release it on Steam, 566 animated scenes and over 9700 images have been produced for the second season. This means that Season 2 is already bigger than Season 1, so you can expect plenty of content. Before release, there will be a store page for the DLC where you can wishlist the game. I don't have any ETA when the Steam release is. The timeframe depends on how the development of the final episode of the season fares. I have uploaded a patch for Being a DIK - Season 1 to Steam. Here are the patch notes: During free roam events, any progress made in phone apps will be saved when saving the game. Fixed a bug that caused a conflict between entering save names, pet names and other inputs. Any illegal characters typed for your save name will be removed immediately to avoid getting a blank save name. Lowered the volume of the intro splash screen and made its sound level controlled by the SFX channel. Set the power save option to be disabled by default to favor performance over energy settings. Updated the money system backend. Replaced the animations for the main girl episode report and updated the design. Added a presplash loading image. Added a skip 5 pages at the time button for the Save/Load screen. Disabled right-clicking the Skip button to skip to the next choice. The middle-mouse button now brings up the in-game phone and can be used to close any children menu of the phone. The quick menu will be hidden when using the phone and restored when closing the phone. The save/load menu will be hidden when using the phone and restored when closing the phone. Fixed an issue with autosaving, causing a lag spike during choices during animations. To reduce lag, autosaving is now less frequent. There's an option in the Preferences menu to remove Autosaving and thus remove lag spikes. Fixed a rare bug with Shuffle. Fixed a bug in episode 3 where Quinn's text message would cause an error if you entered and exited Jill's chat first. Corrected typos in episodes 1-4 Thank you for your support! Yours, Dr PinkCakeHappy Holidays!Dec 23, 2020 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36058373/10b9dbd9fcaf5b052d99b665066b3e49207b3963.jpg It's been a very weird and possibly dark year for all of us. But even when things are dark in our lives, we should appreciate the things that aren't and find something that keeps us going. For me, creating this game has been a way to get through 2020. It's brought me a lot of joy through all the ups and downs. Thank you all for the support you've shown me since the release of Being a DIK - Season 1! I'm working hard on bringing you the continuation. Cheers to all of you maggot brothers and HOT sisters! Merry Christmas, Happy holidays and have a wonderful new year! Dr PinkCakeSeason 2 is 50% finished!Nov 27, 2020 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36058373/5992a7e36f977d5eb311644ab1d78e27d1dcdf8b.jpg I'm working daily on the Being a DIK - Season 2 DLC and today I'm happy to announce that it is 50% complete. Currently, Season 2 has 5793 images and 319 animations. Meaning that Season 2 will be bigger than Season 1, when it's fully developed. Furthermore, a patch for Being a DIK - Season 1 has been uploaded to Steam. Here are the patch notes: Updated code for affinity and DIK status calculations. Added an optional text box mode with an opacity slider to the preferences menu. Text legibility is improved by enabling this mode, but you will get centered text and a low opacity black text box when playing the game. Removed the option Rollback side from preferences, due to redundancy. Fixed bad variable names, overriding a python library. Your affinity will now be displayed in conjunction with major choices. Revamped the episode title and ending overlays for episodes 1-4. Made cosmetic changes to the episode stat report for episodes 1-4. Revamped the Reward app. Revamped the Scenes app. When unlocking a special render, the character you unlocked a render for will have an exclamation mark in the Rewards app. Corrected typos Thank you for playing! Yours, Dr PinkCakeBeing a DIK - Season 1: Patch notesJun 9, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsToday a patch launched for Being a DIK - Season 1. I don't want to update the game too often since there's a risk that some old saves become incompatible with every patch. That's sadly how the RenPy engine works with save files. I hope that too many aren't affected by this and if you experience any issue loading an old save, try clicking Ignore or Rollback a few times and see if it pops back into gear. This patch brings fixes and improvements to the game. The most noteworthy fix is that the Gallery counter, which in some cases made players miss the gallery achievement, has been fixed. Let me know in the discussion forum if you need any assistance. On a further note, the development of Season 2 is approximately 25% completed. A huge thanks for your support! Best regards Dr PinkCake Changelog Corrected typos Fixed a bug with the Bios app where notifications didn't show for new messages. Fixed a bug that occasionally caused cheating in English mini-games to fail. Added timers that hide the money and special render banners that pop-up and occasionally didn't disappear during the game. Added an icon to indicate if a Cluck in Rooster is new. Fixed a bug where you could repeatedly play guitar in Isabella's home during her free-roam event in Episode 4. You can now use whitespace (space) in the save names. Updated the Chat and Swyper apps chat interface. When you unlock new gallery pictures in Swyper, the main menu of Swyper will show indicators for it. Changed the backend calculation of unlocked renders. Achievements should unlock for gallery scenes now. Fixed a bug where a wrong render would show when buying from Derek, during his free-roam event in episode 4. Four whole sexy games made Steam's top new releases in FebruaryMar 20, 2020 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunRight out of the oven, here are the hottest new games on Steam from February and boy they are hot indeed. Put those games on the cooling rack and open a window, will you? Games with “sexual content,” (in the parlance of professional business speak) do occasionally crack the list of top selling new games but four is quite a feat. There are other trends to note as well: nearly half of the list are newly in Early Access or have just graduated from EA to a complete release. It was a big month for small and sexy games! (more…) Trading cards and community items are now available!Feb 16, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsI'm happy to announce that community items such as trading cards, badges etc. are now available! Cheers Dr PinkCakePatch notes, February 16, 2020Feb 16, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsThank you all for reporting bugs to me. I'm monitoring the threads and trying to fix everything that gets reported. This is a list of bugs that I have fixed since release. Restart Steam and you should get an update with the latest changes. Fixed a bug in episode 1 where the chat with Josy wouldn't trigger a dialogue prompt during the date in certain cases. Adjusted the difficulty setting for Brawler. It should feel easier to play Brawler on Easy/Normal. Hard difficulty setting will feel slightly easier. Two animations were added to a lewd scene (episode 4). Fixed a bug that caused cheating to fail on the English test in episode 4. Fixed a cosmetic bug with Brawler with text messages after winning a fight multiple times and getting no reward. Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash at the Save/Load screen if special characters were used to comment the save. Corrected typos If you encounter any issues with the game, please try verifying your game cache as the first step. Sometimes your download is corrupt and may be missing files. Use the following steps to see if your game files are valid or not: Right-click the game in the library and select properties. Click Local files > Verify integrity of game cache Wait until the process is complete and Steam will download any missing files. Thank you all for your support! And please, continue to report any bugs you find and I will try my utmost to assist you. Best regards Dr PinkCakeBeing a DIK - Season 1 is now available!Feb 13, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHello! I'm happy to announce that, after almost 1.5 years of development, the first season of Being a DIK is now live on Steam! I have big plans for this game in the future and what you can play today is a lengthy start of a long adventure. It couldn't have been achieved without the support I've received from patrons and fans. The support I've received during development of this game made it possible for me to start working as a full-time indie developer and that has been a dream come true. Trading cards and community items will be activated as soon as possible; the artwork is ready to go, all that's missing is a player base on Steam. I hope that this game will bring you lots of joy! Please, enjoy this labor of love! Cheers Dr PinkCakeBeing a DIK: Season 1 releaseJan 7, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsAfter working hard on the Steam build for Being a DIK: Season 1, I can now announce that the release date on Steam will be Valentine's day, February 14th, for PC and Linux systems. Due to Apple's new forced notarization policy, a macOS version won't be supported on Steam, for now. Add the game to your watchlist and you'll get a message when it's released. Cheers Dr PinkCake
