Status update Episode 8

Norrlänningen

Ever since the start the quality of your work has been exceptional and it has only gotten better with time, and I appreciate a developer that will only talk about releasedates when they are as certain as one can possibly be that they can keep that releasedate. There is a reason so many of us love your games and happily wait until you feel that a new update is complete, and that is because so far you ALWAYS deliver a product of the highest quality. In the world of AVNs this is not unheard of perhaps, but it is rare and very appreciated. So thank you, I look forward to the next episode, whenever it comes out.

One of the few times in life my patience is a virtue.. as long as it takes i'll wait for you,, errrrm ok that sounded baaaad lol ;P

DrPinkCake

Sadly, no. But there is a PDF guide in the Major DIK tier that's the equivalent. https://www.patreon.com/posts/32341060

I can't wait for the episode 8 release. I'll be replaying the game until then. :) I have a question too. Does anyone here know if it is possible to use the official guide with the patreon version of the game? I have a sinking feeling the answer is no..

I found the complete soundtrack on soundcloud. I don't know if it is appropriate to provide external links here, but I'll do it anyway. I'll leave it to a moderator to delete the post if it isn't. https://soundcloud.com/beingadik/sets

When you download the new ep, in the file there is a "read me" with instructions. I had the same worries first time, don't sweat it you'll be fine, it's easy

At least kissing didn't win. What kind of pervert is into kissing girls?

Phenomenal news.. I do have a question about updating the game when episode 8 comes out.. that question is: How do you do it? Lol.. this will be my first time, I first got the game from steam and then I got invested into the characters and realized on your Patreon that episodes 5-7 were here so I became a member. So when episode 8 drops I literally have no idea how to update the game file, do I just drag and drop?

Good games are never rushed, and rushed games are never good

Aedin Belmont

Great to hear Doc! Take your time and keep up the great work~

Nath

made me real nervous that someone pointed out some emotional shit is gonna happen under those trees haha xD

Adrian Garcia

I played that game a couple of days ago, Acting Lessons and holy crap man! It kinda hit me different. I honestly thought they all died and he was by himself. Glad to have this creator.

NK

Acting Lessons.. and Katawa Shoujo! Both are the best in the world and frankly the reason i'm still alive today :)

Jeff Sandau

Even after so many years, Acting Lessons is still my favorite VN of all time.

MattinVegas

The wait is always worthwhile... you haven't disappointed yet doc

NK

Everything has been amazing thusfar, please don't ever forget your Acting Lessons roots! That game saves lives. <3

Randall Flagg

We all know it'll be worth the wait. Always is!

Blacklabyrinth

I'll just repeat the general sentiment that it will take the time it takes and we all know it will be awesome. Make sure to give yourself some downtime as needed.

BSentient

I'll wait as long as it takes. You are the penultimate of all VN creators, IMO, with the hottest of hottest waifus, or whatever you prefer to call them. 5+ stars, thanks for the great humor and greater animations.

Mr Bubbless

Keep up the amazing work Doc, I'm sure you're constantly reminded of how appreciated you are but I gotta say it anyway. Your quality of work and storytelling is unmatched and we're all eagerly but patiently waiting. Also just want to say thank you for all that you have done so far. Wish I could buy you a beer. Or a shot. Or a joint. Or a lap dance. Or whatever your indulgence of choice may be. Much love! Edit- Also gotta commend you on your amazing choice of music for both games, as I sit here finishing my first playthrough of Episode 7, I think neither game would be such powerful experiences without such great choices. Idk how you do it but you have a gift for setting the ambiance.

Merky

My prediction release date is probably around October because in the game they mentioned Halloween DIK party is coming up so thats MY OPINION and i hope it happens but DPC take all the time you need to make the update perfect :D

Agigagiblah

Keep up the awesome work Doc

Jamison

I hope...

My Name is Nobody

rauchst

It's always worth the wait. Take your time, better safe than sorry.

Del

That picture is going to cone back to haunt us, ain't it? Some real emotional shit is gonna happen under those trees lol.

Art Vandelay

Doc, you take all the time you need, my friend. Honestly, this is the only game I don't get frustrated waiting for because I know it will be perfection every time, renders, animation, new features, little details that surprise and delight, and of course, the amazing story. This game is by far my favorite, and although I wish the release were tomorrow, I am more than happy to wait cause I know I won't be disappointed!!

엘커

+ 1 week delay xD

Looks like not the biggest part of version :) Hope you will release it soon!

Gn753

Sure sounds like it'll be worthwhile! Getting more and more excited for the release 😀

Wesley

Its always worth the wait Doc, anyone who has played the game to this point knows it is WELL worth the wait. Can’t wait for this episode, I still havent gotten that ending montage from episode 7 out of my head, really hit home for me. Keep up the great work!

Wrecki

Bring back Swyper! 😭 At least let us see our old chats and pics from it!

vladeemer

Thanks for the list Doc! This behind the scenes stuff is cool to see.

Mellee

haha people still asking same stuff that the doctor posted already regarding release and so on. as we see some of yall dont listen to yall doctors hahahaha

DrPinkCake

No. But after the Patreon release of episode 8, I will be working full-time on it until it's done.

MontyPython

Yo you are thinking way to far away lol, a good guess would be around late September at the earliest but October is probably the best guess

MattL

Do you have any idea how long will be the wait between Ep 8 release on Patreon and season 2 release on Steam?

Sadie Adler

WHERE BELLA 😭😭

pantsparty
