Episode 5 - Release day announcement

Beta testing and proofreading have been going well. The team has been working hard to further polish the game. 

Right now, I feel the game is in a state that is polished enough for a public release.

I still need to make a final build and do some final preparations, but I'm really happy to be able to announce the release dates for:

Episode 5 - HOTheaded

+$25 tiers - Friday, May 29

+$10 tiers - Monday, June 1

 +$5 tiers - Friday, June 12 (Patch only, need v0.4.0/v0.4.1/v0.4.2 base game)


And a third and final time, I like to remind those of you who want to patch the game to download a clean copy of the game before Friday. Servers are going to be very busy as many want to download the game at once. You will save yourself some waiting time by preparing early for the release.

Here is the link to the latest version (v0.4.2) that you can patch to v0.5.0 on Friday.

Or you can download the entire game all at once (~8.3GB).

Your choice!

I'm so excited to share the next episode with you.

Soon Maggots!

Episode 5 - Release day announcement

Comments

Well, while I had to upscale to Tier $10 to get started with "BaDIK" on Patreon. I went also to check your previous work = "Acting Lessons". And Man, it was dense story. I feel it is good enough to be a movie or a book, not just an adult game. I have done only one story line. I have to have a pause. And I am still putting some peaces together. ... So while I rise my pledge because "BaDIK" is fun. I will keep it that way because of "Acting Lessons".

Josef Tichy

Yeah, she's like that in real life haha, bro you wanna know what's funny? Making Jade pregnant and having Tybalt calling you "Daddy" HAHAHAHA

Jayden

I found a few others, the ones that I remember right now are: when you tell Riona that she's cute (on Rooster), one of her replys says "and everyone one else too, jeez", that extra "one" shouldn't be there; the other one happens talking to Bella in the kitchen she says, "Go any join Jill..." should say anD, no anY.

Spiegelbild

oh shit bro she was really like that? damn. but sage is just too freaky and a nasty bish for me to keep messing around with while im trying to settle down prematurely with jill. might mess around and get her pregnant .

Josy least favorite cause she reminded me sometime of my ex so that's the story and dude I fell in love with the talk with Sage during the guitar lesson <3 <3

Jayden

woot least favorite, why is that lol? oh yea jade..woman is trouble lmao. tybalt lucky i wanna be with jill cause if i didnt i would have raped the replay button. I did tho on my dik play through lmao

Josy is my least favorite hahah I do hope jade gets more sexy time. Sage, Jill and Bella has always been my favorite. I do think it's Melanie but it could be someone else, it ended with a cliff hanger for a reason lol. The scene with Tybalt left my satisfied 100% lmao

Jayden

Dont know where you like typos/errors to be shared: ROOSTER update after encounter w/ Jocks at at beginning of Ep5. NICK bio "Nick like that you fought Caleb." All other comments have been written in 1st person so this one stands out as odd.

TL-Hero

i think its melanie big time, she is the one that wants to call him and wants to snitch on sage. and im not really liking sage anymore tbh, idk why. I want jill %100 but now after talking with josy back at the dorm...kinda hit a soft spot on me. Saying that she actually wanted to be with me and try with someone too but she also loved maya. Kinda felt bad for her plus she was my crush and i did fall for her before maya. Hope i get to cut things off with bella, feels like she's gonna get jealous at some point and try to ruin me and jill. And camilla can lowkey be a main girl, i like her

I still wanna know who the fuck is Chad's side bitch? Could it be one of those two?. Either way, I'm more hype for how relationships will develop, specially Jill and Sage; last scene with Sage was wonderful, it showed a transition between fuck buddies into something more. As for Jill, if I loved her before now I wanna marry her <3

Spiegelbild

hmm it is pretty interesting. think one of them wants to get with chad?

Bruh I’m so keen for ep 6 because of what Mel and Sarah planning to do next

Jayden

lol i know right

That's too much math for a tuesday Alex :P

Spiegelbild

From what ive gathered from my calculations....its a HIGH chance Pink drops the guide this week friday for the $15 teir. Then after he's gonna let us fully enjoy the game by making us go back and do different play through with the guide and while we are all busy trying to get our best route ready for ep6, he's gonna take a break (cause he deserves it) then the following week its back to work. So depending on how he wants ep6 to play out...the wait time could be less than 5. He did say that ep5 was more than what he expected it to be but it had to be in. So possibility we could see the same wait time if not less, so maybe 2nd to last week of August. Lets hope my calculations are correct. But then again we want ep6 to be juicy too 🤔 hmm so i see, this is going to be very conflicting. But i dont mind doing a t h i c c wait...its gonna hurt but i wait Pink man. SUPRISE ME!!

Tricky and confusing. As Tier 5 says: acces to season 2 updates. But to get those upodates working, you need Season 1 first, which you get from 10 tear-up only. When Steam is not compatible with Patreon, or is it? Honestly I hope Steam makes you happy, but its patreons who made this exist in first place. And maybe your pladge description needs some updates.

Josef Tichy

Hi! It's a tricky system and it's because of the Steam release, which doesn't let me release Season 1 for less than the $10 tier. So, if you pledge $10 once and get the game starting now (v0.5.0), you can pledge the $5 tier for future content and patch the game. If you don't have v0.4.0/0.4.1/0.4.2 right now, that's the option you have to start with the patreon version. Let me know if something is unclear. Cheers

DrPinkCake

Hi, I am new patreon and I am confused. As a +$5 tier, I need to have old version 0.4.2 to apply patch to 5, but the link in description leeds to new release with version 5. Will it change on friday? Or I am screwed and has to pay 10 tier now to get full version for later patches?

Josef Tichy

Gon be a while for it damn :(

Jayden

Can't wait for episode 6 !!!

Kenneth Rasmussen

Can i use the 10$-tiers download link at the moment?

I am hoping its an EU time zone release :P

Wildfire

man, can't wait. gonna be playing this chapter 5 a lot it seems haha

William Ricardo Strebe

Ok, figured you hadn't had time for it. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a post somewhere. Thank you!

huh guys release wll be of 1june but wich gmt ? :DDD

SkyIT#7086

its tomorrow its tomorrow its tomorrow!!!!! :DDDDDDD ehi @DrPinkCake are u arealdy writingepisode 6 i hope :_P

SkyIT#7086

Come on Monday I can't stand the waiting lol

Wesker Burkin

Haven't had time for it. Release was first priority and I think most patrons wouldn't want to wait for me to write a walkthrough before the episode is released. I'm working as fast as I can, but walkthroughs will always be released after episodes since I want to bring you the game as fast as possible.

DrPinkCake

Am I missing something or has DPC not put up the walkthrough yet for episode 5? Have walkthroughs been done yet for 1-4?

I am waiting, I am waiting Oh yeah, oh yeah I am waiting, I am waiting Oh yeah, oh yeah Waiting for something to come out of somewhere Waiting for something to come out of somewhere ...

Kernaul

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa waiting mondayyy!! cant wait to see my girlfriends!!!!!! <3

SkyIT#7086

Ive erase all and re started from the begining ... its no problem for me a love this game

Mat

and if I have the 4.1 version I need to update it or what?

Axxz

Wow an awesome update ! Really loved it !

Mat

I understand that frustration. Patreon is the platform that funds the game and keeps me employed full-time doing this; that's why this is the way I choose to develop the game.

DrPinkCake

I first found this game and played it on Steam. Liked the game so much I became a Patreon. Did not realize, however, that buying the game on Steam means not being able to patch the new update and having to wait for a year. Not gonna do that so I will have to play the whole Patreon version over again. Live and learn - no more Steam I guess.

thats weird I had to make update one more time but without paying thank god

Is everything ok? I have DIK tier $25 per month but cant open that post with 5 episode..

Like when you are refreshing this page since it's the 29th :D

Im playing chick for Isabela and Jill when staying with Isabela then neutral for Josy, Maya combo and Envy in background when staying with Derek and dik for the rest girls Sage Quinn etc. staying with Sage ..It looks like envy is better for dik but then you should go another route to stay in with Derek .. I might be wrong but thats my way :)

Is the best way to play this game with 3 saves? Neutral, dik, and chick? My saves are a mess. Getting all the scenes last time was a pain. I wanna clean up my approach lol

easybreezy23

@Bjorn yeah I'm well aware of that but that's fine

Johnnathan

You'll have to because that will most likely be somewhere in 2021...

Let's gooooo!!! Cant wait for the release on steam

Johnnathan

Hell yeah, man. I may have maxed my Achievements on Steam, but I HAD to donate again just to get a taste of what's to come! Keep on keeping on!

Beast of Bray

He'll have instructions inside the zip file with the patch. If it's like the 0.4.2 patch, you'll just unzip the patch files into the BeingADik\game folder and overwrite files in there by the same name and that's it.

bgray9054

Hello DrPinkCake. As like many of us I'm looking forward to the new release. I have the 4.2 version. I'm just asking is there anything we need to do if we just download the new episode?

gazman

Just raised my pledge in anticipation.

Hykap

What time zone?

bgray9054

midnight release

John Doe

He usually writes pretty good instructions, so don't worry. If you get really stuck, just post a response to the patch post and we'll help you out, no worries. For the v0.4.2 patch he had a nice video in there, too, it's a piece of cake - you literally just copy the zipped files of the patch into the beingadik\game folder overwriting any files of the same name.

bgray9054

As has been previously stated, steam version saves are not compatible with Patreon version game. Unfortunately, if you choose to stick with the steam version, you will have to wait until the entire Season 2 is complete and released as DLC. The soon to be released update (only the first episode of Season 2) is for the Patreon version only.

Nobuddy

Is it or will it be possible to move steam games over to episode 5 when it releases? :D

gonna have to replay the entire game again before monday

Joshua Arellano

you aren't alone

AfterLife

2hrs45mins and counting.... :D

midnight where? ;)

RiffRaff

https://www.patreon.com/posts/34191391 Instructions for patching ^ Also included in zip file

DrPinkCake

No, if it hasn't been modded or tampered with you don't need to download it again.

DrPinkCake

Will it be a midnight release? or later that day

Ruthless

I hate that Riona seems to be pulled along for the ride. To me she seems reluctant and rarely questions Quinn unless overwhelmed. I'm hoping we get to interact with Riona more.

Ardor

Awesome! For the community (or even DPC for that matter): I have already downloaded (what I think is) the latest version of ep 1-4. I did for about a mobth ago or less and have it unpacked. To add the patch, do I just unpack season 1 and add ep5 to it or how is that process?

Nick Ohlsson

I am a UK based player, are the release days provided American times

Scotty Doesn't Know

If I've already got V0.4.2 am I going to need to get a new copy of V0.4.2 to patch?

DotuLord

Well Maya and Josy best girls though i hope Sage is alright, after the shit Sweet Riona and her psycho bitch friend are up to. Have to wait for season 2

Alpha Protagonist

Gonna have to up my tier for this...teasing us with either a weekend release or a Monday... ;-)

Del

Did you check this post for v0.4.2 patch? The principle is the same. There will be a video and written instructions added to the patch zip file. https://www.patreon.com/posts/34191391

DrPinkCake

if you could perhaps make a post detailing how to do it and which files to fuck around with, and how to find those files, that'd be amazing.

I don't know if I speak for anyone else here but I'm going to need a much more in depth explanation on how to "patch" my game. I have the patreon version.

It’ll be a while for season 2 to be o. Steam

Jayden

I have a question, for Steam player, there is no way for season 2 early access on Steam right?

Can't wait :D

Kenneth Rasmussen

Not if you played 0.4 you don't, 0.4.1 and 0.4.2 were just bugfixes.

Dasati

Do we need to play the whole game through again after downloading 4.2?

Cancel that just upgraded to your $30/month plan XD

Ablur

Hey, is there a link to your $25 Tiers? I would like to upgrade XD

Ablur

Fuck yes 2days season 2 episode 1!!!!!

Wayne Maurice White Jr

My weekend just got awesome!!! I am so excited to play episode 5. And that teaser pic....oh yeah!

Ardor

As far as I know, the guide overlay is only accessible that way on the Steam version. The Patreon one has a separate PDF file. But I might be wrong.

Messè

Hi - I just downloaded the version here. Previously, in the steam version I could hit "G" to activate the guide. Is that possible with this version at all?

Danis Marandis

Greatest news of the month

userd114

If the version you have is 0.4.2, and its unmodified, you can patch it. From what I understand, patching instructions will be provided with the update.

Nobuddy

What time on Monday? like at midnight on Monday or 10am PST?

Americansx

Hey guys, sorry if this was already answered. Already downloaded the Patreon version and played through it with a bunch of save files in it. And I'm not familiar on how to install patches yet. But Doc mentioned about downloading a clean copy of the game? Do I have to download the entire game again before Friday?

Jake Flynn

Oh hell yeah

Mathieu Robitaille

Awesome sauce. I need this because I finished acting lessons yesterday.... What a fucking punch to the gut.

Hells to the yes

KaneLives

That's actually what I did haha.

Serj

woot!

Gladion20

Yeah, this is not a new release, so why can't lower than $10 tier members d/l this old base game file?

Fuck Yes! Best news this month. Half tempted to up my sub to get it early. :D

RiffRaff

Good question. I presume DPC will do another when the second season is finished? Would make sense to do the walkthrough with another steam release.

Flover

Wine ~and~ Flowers!

RogueRat

Dude, you are so not gonna make it!

Flover

I honestly think that the dik path has the most offer.

Alex

So excited to see what's in store for us next !

Badnews

Wooooooo!!

Patreon and Steam saves are not compatible.

Dasati

It's so sad to be level 1 patreon = / And not being able to help the level to play before! I hope that everyone who tests, have a lot of fun! =)

so if i already have a save file on steam will it be able to save that file or will i have to do a another playthrough?

What a wonderful way to begin the weekend

Yournotsoeviltwin

Can you perhaps allow the downward mentioned link for all patron tiers? thanks :)

Urvutihlavu

the hype is real! but what about the walkthrough for episode 5?

Boris Xanovavych

AWESOME!

Flover

FINALLY YES *.* im so fucking hyped :D

ZaferiX

cool. Better download and get cracking on a new game then

Whatever floats your boat. The result of patching the game, if done correctly, will yield an identical version as the full download.

DrPinkCake

No, Steam and Patreon versions need a separate set of saves.

DrPinkCake

for those of us who have the game on Steam and don't want to wait for season 2 to be finished, if we download the game thru a link, will the save transfer across?

I'd rather download da whole game all at once. Sync saves at start up. Then delete the old game... That is if this version does not have game breaking bugs when i replay it from the start.

Blueno

Nice. Monday is a day off for me.

Senor Pedro

Very excited for this!

Sean Livengood

I have 3 saves prepared chick neutral and dik path :) I am waiting like a child for Christmass

OH MY GOD! HYPE!

Messè

Wow! I'm thoroughly impressed with your development speed. Great work Doc, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us with Episode 5!

OriginalKJak

Pinkcake, you hard-working monster. Thank you for all you do.

Dirt

Family first, Maggot Brothers!

Joshua Moody

Omg so excited :D

Ryo

Thank you so much! Very excited!

Caettus

Awesome, looking forward to it!

bgray9054

Wonderful news!

tezster

Steam version will be updated once the whole season 2 is out completely, so not anytime soon, you'll have to play the patreon version Ep by Ep, or wait for full season on Steam

Maxyoo28

Really looking forward to Friday. I am hooked.

BunnyRabbit

What time (and time zone) do you think it will be ready? Want to know if I need to keep hitting refresh on Patreon if I upgrade for Friday,

Always86

Hello I purchase the gane from steam, how long it will take so we can purchase the episode there? I do not want to lose my progress :(

Machina4K

Great news!

Julian Harper

How will it work if you purchased the game on steam?

Alonso Gomez

Holy f*** that is right around the corner! Can't wait! Great work!

CaseyJones

We're surely as excited, or even more, than you are! Thanks Dr.!

Touhara Kiminonawa

I’m gonna wait till the whole season is complete

Yes.

Dylan

Ah, this is the news I'm excited for! Thanks! This is by far one of my favorite games. You do such great work!

DUDE you are awesome! Thanks so much! Pat yourselves on the back! ❤️

Nick Andreas

I was already hyped for this episode, but now I'm even more after learning the title!

VK

Matthew Rice

Huzzah! Cannot wait. This just made my day... Thank you Dr PinkCake and thank you beta testing team!

DMaple

Thank you for your hard working 🙇🏻‍♂️
