hello everyone, I'm working on improving stability, uncached full files will take a while to load and imports are a bit backlogged both due to bandwidth. Thank you.

Content

This will be the next-to-last status update for episode 11. After beta testing has started, I'll post the final status update on episode 11.

I won't have much more to report on Episode 11 until then, and I'll let you know the status as soon as I have something to share. I am playtesting the episode but also working on episode 12 development. I won't report on that until after v0.11.0 is released.

The estimate for the animation queue remains unchanged as it's steadily shrinking. Lately, the daily average render count has been somewhat higher than normal. I'd still say February 7-9 holds as the completion date for the render queue, and beta testing will start shortly thereafter.

Episode 11 pre-release details

Episode 11 will be somewhere around ~18.5 GB in size for the full download (likely slightly less; it depends on the remaining animations).

The patch will be somewhere around ~6.3 GB in size. This means the MEGA host won't work without a subscription, but there will be other free hosts for downloading everything upon release, as always.

If you want to patch the game instead of downloading the full v0.11.0 at release, make sure you have an unmodified version of the game downloaded. You can only patch v0.10.0 and v0.10.1. You must download the full v0.11.0 version if you have an older version.

If you're unsure about patching, I recommend you download the full version (18.5 GB), extract it and play - it's that simple.

A reminder: save your game at the end of episode 10, where the game tells you to save to avoid any save game issues when playing the upcoming episode.

Keep backup copies of the previous version until you're sure the new version works for you and your save files.

Here is a preliminary changelog for episode 11.

-- Changelog v0.11.0 --

Added Episode 11 that includes

7113 renders
392 animations
6 2D-art pieces

42 songs
32 sound effects

  • Menus in Brawler can now be closed using the middle mouse button.

  • Fixed an issue potentially causing a scene with Sage, Maya and Josy to be skipped if the player didn't spend time with Zoey in episode 10.

  • Corrected typos

Lilatentakel

Hello Doc, You've got to be kidding us...over 7,000 renders and over 390 animations!!!! In one update!!! That's just pure madness. I know of finished AVNs that have anywhere near as many renders, let alone animations. You are GOAT. Thank you for the effort you put in, thank you for this MEGA update, thank you for Sage, Josy, Maya, Jill, Bella and all the other fantastic and lovable characters you created, just thank you for this great game. We love you man.

Kurmblog

Awesome!!! The last strectch of this development cycle is upon us haha Have a great weekend Doc :)!!

Bill

Dr pink thank you for the amazing work!!

Kurmblog

The sheer size of BADiK is... insane hahaja and we still have one more season still xD

Demis Bandini

I can't wait. Thanks for the news Doc. Have a great week end. 🍻

Heraclivs

It'll be epic! Thanks doc

Gábor Kakas

Sorry guys but whats this game full name? Im new🥺

Jacek Wiśniewski

Thanks, DPC. It's really close and damn look at the numbers, insane

Artem pupsik

Thanks for the update, we are all waiting for episode 11 👍

Jacek Wiśniewski

It's cool, made me smile, but it's cool. Welcome Maggot (you'll get it, once you play it, it's not an insult)

larry82

🤩 Time to add a new SSD...

JEH

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to play it. 😊

Drake Arbius

Holy cow I can’t wait to listen to the 42 new songs they about to be bangers

Jacek Wiśniewski

Side note, Reading changelog made me realized it could be cool if CUM-petition was a mini game. Something like pancakes at Isabella where you have "green field" you have to stay in but it gets smaller and smaller with every passing second

Calhoun28

Awesome, this is very exciting news! Thanks for the update Doc.

Jesse Rauhaniemi

I haven't bought the patreon version of the game yet, but I'm planning to when ep11 releases. Can I merge my steam saves with the patreon version? And if I can, can I immediately continue from where I've left of or do I have to play through the entire game again?

Dušan Smrček

WOOOOW, WOOOOW, WOOOOW. You are awesome!!!

Tom W

Awesome

Chiss

We're so close now!

Malathus

Awesome work as always Doc, sounds like the Beta Testers might get a Valentine's gift!

R2D2TS

Thanks for the update. It is almost here.

Richard Doelker

I can’t wait for it!!! I am going to start a new fresh save to enjoy the whole amazing story you have created. You are the GOAT Dr.!!!

Craigbk1976

Amazing work based on your prior reporting the file size is exactly what I expected it to be still though great work can't wait

Chiss

You can import and continue you end of S2 playthroughs from Steam directly into the S3 Patreon version, as long as you followed the instructions given at the end of the season save.

McKenzie

OMG the next chapter is finally arriving soon!! :))))))

CST1992

How long does the beta testing phase last, usually?

Jonathan Hang

Thanks for the exciting news, Doc! Good thing I have MEGA Pro Lite so I don't have to worry about that problem. I can't wait to continue this! Jumped back into the world of BAD! And then play through it multiple more times for all the paths (I have 10 total) 😋!!! IT IS going to be spectacular 😁. All my lovely ladies are waiting for me 😍! As always, hope everyone continue to have an amazing and awesome week ✌🏻😉!

Arta

Nice one DPC. Enjoy your weekend

Jdog

YES!!! Almost there!

Morgan

I’m so excited

Jonathan Hang

Oh, I'm failing that. I sucked at the pancake mini-game (probably didn't help that I was playing on my old laptop, lol). Took a lot of save scumming to get a perfect score, lol 😆.

Jacek Wiśniewski

I didn't really have a problem with pancakes but I didn't aim for perfect score either. It might have been important when we're talking about potential CUM-petition mini game ;). It was just a suggestion anyway, I'm no game dev. and that would present another set of variables depending on how you did. Not possible at this stage but still just the idea

Jacek Wiśniewski

I'd say at least 4 weeks but don't be surprised if it's even 6. I can't remember last time for sure but considering how big it is (bigger than ep10) I would say 4 weeks minimum

Chillhelm

7113 renders...holy smokes! That'll be a hell of a chapter, i'm sure.

Nordwolf

Simply awesome!

Agigagiblah

Insanely awesome

BiliBili228

How can i beta test episode 12, is it a higher tier?

GeraltOfRiviadx

Have a great weekend dr pink cake

Malathus

Also this is episode 11 not 12. He has just started writing for 12.

Malathus

Really thinking he needs to close out some storyline options with a finale to help otherwise 12 is going to take even longer, let alone the final chapter. Can we get Vinny arrested? Get rid of the DiK who is videoing and sabotaging us?

Sadie Adler

BELLAAAAAAAAAAAA :skrem: 🗣🗣🗣

Nicholas Nail

BaD is slated for a 4th season, so it seems like he’s got a lot cooking in the background!

Scott

So hyped! Time to wipe and start fresh with all new saves. Have a great weekend DPC, all.

Nate Diaz

LFG!!!!

Ro.Hui

I can meet my Maya again

Tony Warren

Are we there yet jk

Targonis

Being a beta tester is a responsibility, and it is also painful to check the same stuff again, and again, and again, and again. It's not just being able to experience something sooner than others, it's about looking for mistakes, and looking VERY closely for things that most people would miss.

bpusd886

Can we have a release today? looking forward to it!!!

Adam

upon rereading the announcement we probably will not get another update till next Friday or next week. He says he will only give 1 more once the beta starts but that wont start till the renders are done. So we will probably just get an update next week hopefully sooner if the Rendering goes faster

THE END IS NEAR

Jon

I just finished what’s available for season 3 this weekend for the first time. Now I am sad bc I have to wait for more 😭

Jon

Lmao true! I feel for y’all that have been stuck on that cliffhanger of an ending for all this time lol.

Malathus

I would also point out that you can get a wide variety of different content by playing different love interest routes and Chick and DiK alterations. You may miss new content if you do not have a variety of plays.

Jon

Oh I’ve been doing that lol, I’ve gotten a couple routes this weekend, it’s so good

Nordwolf

I just have to repeat it... DPC, your coherence with the branching is dope. I played my 23rd complete playthrough with some changes here and there and uncovered (smaller) dialogues with Josy that I have seen the first time. Simply great! Keep on doing what you do and take the time for quality checks that you need. It's worth it!

Mdevkun

I don't even remember how many months I've been waiting LOL

Jon

I mean I have season 2 save files from 2022 there’s that 😂

도경 김

The day you can play the beta test from tomorrow! I'm looking forward to it!!

Malathus

I really hope we can rescue her. er....both Maya and Rio

Malathus

Anyone have pointers on the paint games? I'm old and slow with my mouse on PC so that and Zoeys paintings all are extremely rough minigames for me.

DrPinkCake

Some feel it's easier to make the game window smaller so you'll cover a bigger distance with the mouse faster. If that's cheating or not, that's up to you. ;)

Malathus

If you are recommending it really cant call it cheating now can I? :) Thanks for the tip Doc

Nordwolf

Carefully looking around the corner, if I can spot some news about how the render queue is doing...?!

Agigagiblah

Is there someone i can talk to about discord issues? I can't see any channels but i am donating

Adam

everything is based on posts and you have access to certain posts based on what you subscribe. You should see the first one being pinned as the season 10 download if you can see it otherwise if you go into the membership area at the top there is a list of links to all of the downloads for all of the different versions of Being a Dik or Acting Lessons that you are looking for in the "Welcome from Dr. Pink Cakes" just have to click Show more.

Agigagiblah

I can't see anything on the discord server outside of announcements. I was posting in the spoiler channel earlier and was wondering why I can't see them anymore

도경 김

When can I play the Being a dik beta game?

Nordwolf

Never. There won't be any beta releases. Beta testing is done internally and when it is ready, it will drop. I bet round about a month left.

Adam

He already has his list of Beta Testers from previous episodes that have been Patreon supporters for awhile not sure how to become one but think the spots are already taken from what most say.

Adam

Most of the red dots are in the middle of the screen usually in between the mouse and the location of the next blue dot. Usually the area behind has fewer dots so what I did was to keep my mouse to the outer edges of the screen and moved in where there were no red dots. Took a few tries since you have to go pretty quick with the 20 second timer but was able to get S on all doing it that way on all challenges.

Malathus

I'm just resigning myself to not getting those renders. Tried the trick Doc pointed out and still no go. Also on the Zoey Paint I noticed speedups on the dots moving that I assume are part of the game but it will move like two or three times before I can even react. Like I said...Im old and slow :D

Will Joy

No. It's done by the people he trusts. Nothing to do with what tier they are

Targonis

One way you can think of it is that we get each episode as they are completed, so beta testers get it first, but then those on the Patreon side. Steam players get the SEASONS after they are done, so in a way, we will be able to find problems before Steam people get to play. I will note that being a beta tester is...boring. You don't just get to play it first, you have to really look for problems, minor rendering issues, issues here and there, then, you get to play it after the round of fixes, and you get to repeat the process, see if it's fixed, as well as looking for other problems. It's less about PLAYING than it is about looking for bugs/mistakes, and it takes a special sort of person not to do it for a few weeks and then decide that PLAYING is fun, but beta testing can take a LOT of fun out of it. There will be some people who really enjoy FINDING the bugs, but then, it can be really annoying when you find nothing too, because someone else found the bug you would have stumbled across and it has now been fixed. I've seen it, and know that I definitely don't have the mindset to WANT to be in on the beta testing phase. I appreciate what they do, and don't envy them for seeing the content sooner, because it really is work.

도경 김

Actually, I wanted to be a dik first. But I lost my desire to listen to the words of the people who have commented on my questions so far. And after listening to you, I realized how much responsibility it takes to be a dik's beta tester.

Targonis

That is why there was a slight delay in the announcement that beta testing had begun. When it is THAT close to being done, a delay of a few days makes sense. Now, if mistakes are found during the beta process, some scenes or animations may need to be re-rendered to fix those problems, and we will NEVER hear about those. We won't know how many problems are found during the beta testing process as well. So, kick back, and wait. The longer it takes for beta to finish means there are problems that are being found and fixed. We also won't know how much direction the beta testers get, because there are so many things that will be really hard to find based on previous choices as well as the choices made during the new episode.

Targonis

You can also try reducing resolution way way way down and see if that helps. Playing at 4k doesn't do me any favors for some of the mini-games.

Targonis

I am at somewhere beyond the 60 playthrough mark, and I still run into little things that I didn't see before.
