Release date announcement
🕑 Added 2020-11-06 10:45:22 +0000 UTCTesters are working really hard, but this update is bigger than usual and that means more testing is needed.
The release dates for "Episode 6 - Damage Control" will be:

$25+ tiers: Friday, November 13
$10+ tiers: Monday, November 16
$5 tier: Friday, November 27 (Patreon version, Patch only)
There will be links for patches and the full version.
If you want to patch the game (recommended), prepare for release by having a clean/unmodified version of the game downloaded from Patreon before release.
Patches will only work with Patreon versions v0.5.0/v0.5.1/v0.5.2. If you have an older version of the game, you will need to download the full version.
Let the countdown begin, DIKs.

i agree. its always hard to recommend these kinds of games to friends but the ones i did I always brought up the soundtrack and how good it is. That and how endearing all the characters are.
Queijin
Bro, the way the songs fits perfectly in the scenes are absolutely amazing. Now you have a HUGE fan of your game. Congratulations and thanks!

Gritty1983
Patch with instructions
Nick Gomez
Probably a stupid question but assuming you have the $25+ tier game will the game update automatically or is the patch necessary for episode 6?
Jet_Pilot

Sean Livengood

DrPinkCake
When Season 2 is completely developed. During development, updates are only published here on Patreon.

Jamison
Do releases occur at a certain time/time zone?
Jet_Pilot
hey can i get a warning next time i play because the first free roam in bella's house ( anyone know the one i talking about, its the one after the MC help's Sage cool down) in the house that first door far left i think its her library.. a warning would of been nice after getting the render, i clicked on the cushions then went to leave the library, just before leaving i ran into a person figure dressed in some uniform however it did look like steven i could be wrong ( jades husband ) MC does say intruder in the house...well anyway its 3am monday morning here time for a 30min nap before work :)
Matthew Griffin

GH0STD3LTA
Can I upgrade to 25 to get it Friday and then next month go back to 10
Simon HΓ₯kansson
The release dates are different depending on what you pledge. On the 13th he will post the patch of the game, but only $25 Patreons will be able to see that post etc. (it's the same game for every release date)
i don't understandthe different release date
Gritty1983
when was maya lost? and how?
OriginalKJak
Cannot friggin' wait! Thanks so much DPC, you've made my week!
Awesome, can't wait for this next Friday! Will we need to pay a fee for WinRaR to complete the patch? As I think I did a free trial for episode 5. Thanks!
yes.... i miss my ladies lol
Notty
at least lock-down seems will be usefull :-D
sweetlou35
Awesome news. Can't wait for next Friday!!
Ardor
Awesome! Time to put in for some vacation.
ArcTrooper390
Your steam save will not work. Sorry bud.
Cameron
Hey DPC! Iβm new to your patreon, so Iβm sure I missed the many times this has been answered. But does my game saves on steam link to the downloads here on Patreon? Or do I have to start over? Thanks!
DrPinkCake
If you're talking about how to patch the episode, you can check the current release thread for 0.5.2 for instructions.
DrPinkCake
If you have 5.2, when the update is released you download the patch. Copy and paste the contents into the "game" directory and start the game. There will be a video and instructions in the patch zip file.
Cody Kodak
Hell yea on my birthday!
One more time β I am very happy :)
Fernando
great news, I never imagined being emotional with an adult game, when we lost Maya my heart really broke, thanks for making this quarantine easier to deal with
Will Tran
Please add a brief explanation on how to add the new episode for Mac when the episode comes out
kevin
Damage control huh... i have a feeling something fishy is going to happen. Happy to continue π€€
RedHarlon
That's just depressing dude.
Mellee
omg omg omg aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hahahaha
Jonez Lee
Can you help me understand how I'll need to DL/setup the new episode? I have 5.2 but am unsure of what I'll need to do to update/. Thanks!
MLink
Great news
DrPinkCake
If you patched it from 0.4.0 -> 0.5.0, you're good to go. It doesn't have to be base 0.5.0/0.5.1/0.5.2. This will be the concept from now on until anything else is stated. Any files that I wanted to change in your old version is done through patching. As long as the game isn't modified, you can continue to patch it.
Mickey007
DrPC, you say we need a pure one-piece version 0.5 or higher to patch, does that mean a pure 0.5+ version or is a 0.4.1 plus all subsequent patches (0.4.2, 0.5.1 and 0.5.2) also sufficient as that brings the game to 0.5.2. total?
Arctic Alpha
This coming out and couple of other games pushing out patches at the same time. I hope I will able to 'handle' myself for the next month or so.
twreuter
All hail Dr PinkCake!
Buck Finn
I am so hyped! Thanks for update!

hisstoryman
Damage Control. Sounds appropriate for my play through. Can't wait!

Can you have sex with multiple great looking, sexy and fun characters in Call of Duty? If not, that's not much of a choice, is it? :P
Reboot
I just read the posts and we are at least 3 people in 30 posts that have a birthday around the time of release. I guess they are right, scorpios are perverts! Hahaha
Mo_C137
it's the final countdown!
Reboot
Wow, what a week it will be! My birthday is the 14th, my new beast of a computer will be here between the 12th and 16th and BADIK is releasing the 13th for me! Nice! Although, I keep in mind it is still 2020 so there is a good chance my computer is delivered damaged, the game is delayed and I get the corona virus for my birthday. :P
looks like I will take a break from Valhalla :)
Lol damn pink is saying Call of duty or this. Why bro WHY you have to make me choose
