Or telling Josy, Maya, Sage, Jill and Bella that your old high school girlfriend has come back into the picture . . . brutal reality of late teens, early 20s, those days before your heart fucking withers.

The free roams are what make this a "game" instead of just a "follow-me-here's-where-to-click" game like so many of the AVN's are. Honestly I feel my brain shrinking a little bit more with every one of those games I play as the novelty wears off. Frankly I wish these games were more challenging, not less, and involved more seduction and less sex, which in many games is so tiresome and with such awful dialogue that I end up clicking through it as fast as possible. The variety in BAD is what makes this game more interesting (aside from the humor and dialogue). I don't want to be spoon-fed, so if you don't like the free roams and sand box aspects of the game there's lots of other simpler and more simplistic games out there for you. Some of them are even fun. Go find them instead.

I liked the free roams, it made it feel more like a game rather than just a novel

On a separate note, the breakup sex could be awesome.

Nordwolf

For all like me this would be a big disappointment as I actually like some gameplay included, not only reading a story. So I think it will never be possible to have a perfect solution for everyone.

I really look forward to free roams actually. Always excited about new texts, Rooster posts and having a break to play minigames to get $ again.

Houseofcards87

Same, lol

Alpha Protagonist

True but that is not really a prank. A prank would be stealing her clothes when outside. Or the old tar and feather or bury her alive for a few minutes.

Teufelhunde DJI

I think the only thing that I am not looking forward to is telling Josy and Maya about the Jill relationship. I'm sure DPC will hit us with some strong emotion in that one.

Teufelhunde DJI

Well, we DID steal her rum during the HOT's house party.

I suppose I meant to also say that get the base game out and put in minigames later. The minigames aren't important to the story and take time to create. I guess I'm just being impatient for chapter 9!

Jamison

Just because you don't like free roams, doesn't mean you speak for everyone. Good thing is DPC will create the game he wants, regardless of what anyone says.

Flover

Agreed

Geekbone

I have mixed feelings about the mini games... I enjoyed the mansion repair and most of the others (could do with less words to unscramble), but I really got tired of the free roams. Just too many of them.

Snickersnack

Out of sheer curiosity, how long does it take you at this point to do a static render? I figure that because you have experience and probably preexisting models and such to use, it's going to be less than someone picking it up off the street, but still, it must be an incredible amount of time.

Aaron Wilson

If you're going to turn off minigames then why advocate for less minigames? If anything, there should be more for the people that like them. Advocating for less when yours are off is just ruining it for the rest of us.

Andy

Agreed bigbeat

bigbeatmanifesto

Love your work but ease up on the mini games. Spend all your time getting the base game out. I've played 1-8 with minigames and without and without is far, far superior.

LEOPARD RAMBO

A master at story telling that en captures you and leaves you wanting to find out what happens next. Being a dik is an experience not a game and Doc i wish you all the success, your writing is amazing and you can tell its not lazy and well thought out. amazing job. ~ a random guy that appreciates your hard work.

Tad Stemen

I'm not a programmer, just a boring guy, so thank you for all your work.

Tad Stemen

I cannot tell you how much I look forward to the next chapter,

DrPinkCake

Yes. Render times are ridiculously long if you want to make renders/animations of my quality. Animations are the time sink. For example, that 42-second long animation I mentioned needs the same time as rendering 1260 static renders (normal pictures in the game).

C. Pawlak

I appreciate the updates you are putting up. I am a huge fan of the story lines, the fapping material is just is icing on the pinkcake.

Sam

Just reading that and seeing how long those render times are, is mindblowing to me

Branden Jensen

Awesome work DPC. Keep it up, but don't forget to take those breaks as well. :P Wish I could help with some part of the process, but you already have a proofreader and it sounds like you have lots of computer resources, so I guess I'll stick to giving you money. :P

Ove Løkken

Take your time :) quality is more important instead of quantity :)

DrPinkCake

I'm not done posing animations. 4-6 weeks for the current queue. More time is needed for everything else that remains.

Dasati

The discord has a command about that: Acting Lessons and Being A DIK are two 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 Dr PinkCake to write the story in a certain way. You can still see common names in Being A DIK, that were mentioned in Acting Lessons, i.e. DIKs, HOTs, Roy = Troy.

Jay C

Sooooo... anyone else thinking about Leah making an appearance? This should be the same Halloween party she mentioned in Acting Lessons. Should be a fun lewd scene and a little fucked up. I wonder if Jonas/Liam will make an appearance as well

C. Pawlak

I have many a saves from season 2 to use for this. So with waiting 4-6 weeks to render the scenes, we talking a possible July or June release?

Jamison

I've been waiting for that since episode 2

Alpha Protagonist

If turns into a 70s/80s slasher mystery then cool as for the girls. This time around i am more Jill or Sage. Oh and i hate Tommy and are we ever going to get to prank Quinn?

Jdog

So are we gonna turn this into a college slasher thing? Well as long as there is lots of gratuitous sex I'm sure it'll work lol

Elton Coleman

Yes I agree with hay date because DPC always release two episodes every year. And Interlude was being worked on when he was making episode 8 if I'm not mistaken, I just hope episode 9 doesn't release on Halloween!

Elton Coleman

Jill all the way for me, even in the Cosmetic poll!! And thank you sir for the amazing work your doing for this game.

Flávio

I really hope that's not the case ... it would mean a 1 year interval between episode 8 and 9. Even taking the Interlude and all the preparation for steam release etc it would be a really long time. Of course DPC has to take his time to work on this masterpiece but not one whole year please

Martyn Romaine

Keep up the awesome work Doc.. you're great

Scott

This episode sounds epic. Halloween party at the Diks! I am so stoked for it. I think that clown is Tommy. Patience is a virtue. Hope you use that music you ended ep. 8 with for the Halloween party at some point. Have a great weekend DPC and all!

Legs

Man, I hate clowns

Tad Stemen

Keep on working my friend. I am SO looking forward to the next installment!

Sirloki

If everyone is in costume, will Tommy even know what I am getting up to with Josy? 😂

daniel karlsson

gimmi josy maya :)

Nordwolf

It is going to be a scary night at the DIKs mansion.

Nordwolf

Although I am really hoping for earlier, a Halloween release would be a perfect fit for the setting...

Snedden

Love your work DPC, I am Soo happy I found BaD which lead me here and to Acting Lessons. Keep up the amazing work, I truly appreciate all the hard work you have put into these games.

Ufo

You already succeed to create a marvelous pool of unique woman characters, really we canot have all? :-) In such case Jill is my choice. We need more angels around

Trae Engman

I'd have to go with Jill

Shrek

Jill will always get my vote 😂

ArchAngel121996

I'm am calling 4 a August September release

ZackNero03

With that kind of a close-up, it has to be Derek.

Slaanesh

Coulrophobia...

Jake McFarlane

Nice costume! Yeah tonymack is probably right. That's the kind of costume Tommy would've wear.

SmoothCopyCat

Halloween BABY!!!!

_FY_

Thank you for everything you do, DPC. I finished seasons 1 & 2 yesterday and Being a DIK is now in my top 3 games of all time. When all is said and done, it'll most likely be my favorite ever. Quinn stole my heart... LOL. Much continued success and I'm proud to follow you on this journey. <3
