| Season 2 is 75% finished! | 2021-04-28 | 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 upload |
| Happy Holidays! | 2020-12-23 | 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 PinkCake |
| Season 2 is 50% finished! | 2020-11-27 | 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 sid |
| Being a DIK - Season 1: Patch notes | 2020-06-09 | Today 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 assist |
| Trading cards and community items are now available! | 2020-02-16 | I'm happy to announce that community items such as trading cards, badges etc. are now available! Cheers Dr PinkCake |
| Patch notes, February 16, 2020 | 2020-02-16 | Thank 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 cos |
| Being a DIK - Season 1 is now available! | 2020-02-14 | Hello! 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 |
| Being a DIK: Season 1 release | 2020-01-07 | After 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 |
