Episode 12 - Release Date Announcement
I'm excited to announce the release dates for:
Huge DIK tier and above (+$25): Friday, August 7
DIK tier and above ($10+): Monday, August 10
Mini DIK tier ($5): Friday, August 21 (Patch only, needs Season 3 base game to play)
Beta testing has gone smoothly, and I feel confident that it can be concluded in another week's work.
Season 3 now contains more than 25000 images and 1500 animations, which is bigger than Seasons 1 and 2 combined.
The full download for v0.12.0 will be around 25 GB.
The patch will be around 7.3 GB (If you don't want sex sounds for earlier episodes). For the patch, there's also an extra 5.3 GB download if you wish to patch Episodes Interlude and Episodes 9-11 animations to include sex sounds.
If you want to patch your game, you will need an unmodified v0.11.0 or v0.11.1 game. Instructions on how to patch your game are provided in the zip file that you download.
If you're not comfortable patching the game, I recommend downloading the full version instead.
Make sure to save your game at the end of an episode when the game tells you to. This is the only save point that I guarantee works.
To avoid bugs and crashes, your save files need to be free from mods.
Make sure you treat Season 3 as a stand-alone game and don't merge it with Season 1 or Season 2 data. Merging the game with Seasons 1 and 2 will corrupt both games.
Always make backup copies of your games.
Let the countdown begin.
Love
Dr PinkCake

how can redownload 8.3,10,11. I bought all of these on this site. My computer hard drive died. I have no way to restore. I have all these on STEAM but I like the game on your better
How can I join the discord? It says the link is expired
https://discord.gg/KyCc5E4
Do you have a sense of when the walkthrough will be updated to include episode 12?
I don’t have to re-download S1&2 if I downloaded it back when Ep.11 dropped right?
Would any of this tier come with a steam key when it's release there as well?
Did anyone address the name of the final episode of season, given how other game has ended? I'm legit worried.
congrats on a successful launch!
What time is the release?? I'm like a kid waiting on Santa lol
is it here :)))?
Do we know what time and timezone it's releasing, cos it's the afternoon on a friday for me right now
guess its releasing in the morning?
One more day y'all
One more day? Dawg its 3pm on friday here it better not be.
Is it still too early? hahaha
what time do the new episodes usually drop? >_>
so like midnight release on the 7th orrrrrrrrr?
What Time?
is it going to release tonight or tomorrow mourning?
Does anyone (Or DrPC) know what time the update gets released for Huge DIK+? Is it a midnight release, noon, or 3 PM? Thanks!
So Ready for tomorrow, again im glad i took a long weekend
I hope so much to see Rio again. To know that she's doing well.
ONE. MORE. DAY!!!
Hey DIKs and maggots asking about the time: there is no specified time. Never was. Just look up the site from time to time and don't stress yourself out too much. It will drop as soon as Pink is ready.
i was hoping it would be a midnight release but looks like it's going to be sometime in the morning EST like last update
anyone know what time its dropping?
Do we know about the time of day it might release?
hi on what Time/ timezone will episode 12 be released? Cant wait to play it btw :))
Any chance of a midnight launch?
i wish lol i'm going to be refreshing Patreon for the next several hours
I bougth candy, i bougth soda and tomorrow i got 2 days off. Im ready ! Today while waiting im thinking, should i start from season 1 again on every route just to relive it all. You guys remember that swedish song playing called "ny dag" its about wanting a new day and life is wounderful, it fits so perfect today.
what time on Friday, August 7?
Time tomorrow?
August 7th!!! Cannot wait! (Also looking forward to seeing what your next project will be because they just keep getting better and better!)
I am so getting fired for spending all my time playing this!
This week has been hard to get through, but we're finally closing in! I'll manage waiting two more days, even though the excitement level is about to go through the roof lol. The entire weekend is booked for this!
Ugh! Two more days. The wait is agonizing when you get near the end.
Happy 3 days to go my maggot brothers! (and sisters etc)
Give us a hint for the September release on steam please! I need to book some time off work for this! :D
Between September 1 and 30.
I hope Melanie has her own branch without Sarah. After getting a random text at the end of episode 11 from her saying she felt disappointed that I didn't say anything to her during the Christmas party got me excited. I never knew Mel could possibly be your girl. I always chose her over Sarah and I'm tryna see that branch and Camila's cause I got a text from her too. I hate that I have to wait till the 10th lol Also I hate that we couldn't choose Melanie for the Christmas Santa mission. I love me some Mel.
Yes. Melanie has grown on me so much that I favor her now more than Sarah. Melanie her visual/renders has improved a lot too. But Melanie deep down is a sweet gal.
Any ideas when the release date for Mac will be? Or will it no longer be supported on Mac?
PC and Mac release at the same time as advertised in this post.
What time is the release this Sunday?
The release days are this Friday and next Monday. No time is set.
SO EXCITED!
Hope the community at Large has been well, i went radio silence to chip away at some of my gaming backlog lol, and to pass the time quicker for episode 12 release and it worked lol! Appreciate all the hard work you put in Dr Pink, and i'm looking forward to playing the episode with all of you Day 1.
My first time here. So, when the game is released on Friday, how do we acquire it?
Welcome! This is how it worked in the last release: https://www.patreon.com/DrPinkCake/posts/being-dik-11-v0-123521555 Familiarize yourself with that post and download progress, and you have the basic idea of it. On my Discord server, you'll get pinged when it is released, but you'll also receive a mail notification on Patreon if you still have that enabled for my posts.
Hmm walkthrough will be available as always after all tiers are released? And from which lvl?
Major DIK tier ($15). No date set for the guide yet.
Where is the link to download the full game from season 1 to 3? I haven't played the game in sometime so I would like to start over new.
S1/2: https://www.patreon.com/posts/58768095 S3: https://www.patreon.com/DrPinkCake/posts/being-dik-11-v0-123521555
Here's hoping the contract wasn't just a macguffin.
FINALLY I CAN TAKE ZOEY AND LILY TO THE LOVE BONE ZONE (and maybe Cindarella :3)
WE'RE BACK BABY!!! I miss hanging out with my boy Derek
I'm just counting the days. Can't take time off this time for it. But it will be here when I get home Friday. I'm so looking forward to it. I've never been so eager for a game in my life before now.
#TeamSage
For the 4k stuff, I understand the hosting issue, but if we can copy the 4k stuff from the Steam release to our Patreon release(if possible), that would be a solution for some of us.
I've had "It's tricky" playing on a loop in my head for the last few days. So glad to see it's just a week away so I can see what happens next!
Hey, great news! I used to have Windows but I have Mac now, does anybody know how to play BaDIK on steam (Windows version) there? I already have season 2 dlc. Thanks
Mac version only exists on Patreon because Apple won't sign any game from unverified developers, and adult games won't get signed. Thus, Steam/GOG can't sell Mac versions. This means, you need the Patreon version if you want to play on your Mac.
Just got some mushroom chocolates especially for the release. Going to enjoy the shit out of this 🥴
Why does Sage look sad? What have you done to my queen, Doc?!😭
Hi DrPinkCake just a quick question which updated tier should I choose for September to be able to get the complete official guide for the interlude & Ep9 to 12 when released???
The guide is in the Major DIK tier ($15). No date for the guide is announced.
Im making a life change that will delay my own download. After 11 years in a toxic, abusive relationship I decided to stop being financial "life support" for my ex to be. A yeas planning in the works reaches my own Season finale when I move to the new pad on August 12. I am disabled and let myself be isolated from all friends and family. I will spare the sob story as I let it happen, and own my mistake of not choosing hope over fear. So I reclaim my life. I have my couch, my work pc, my personal pc, and some clothes. But I have a place thats mine and my freedom. I can sort the rest out later. Im saving the episode for first night in the new place. The DIKs and the girls were my only substitute for human interaction outside of work, which is remote. Im not ashamed to admit my issues. I am resolving it. I post it here to let DPC know these stories bring brightness into much darker worlds. I have real friends of 30 years living in the area, I will be reconnecting with. Now I will have the fictional friends to read about as well.
Just want to make sure, the DIK tier will only have the patch, or does it have the full season 3 download?
I'm on Huge DIK tier, if you are also, then you can download the full season 3 on August 7th.
March 10, 2025 was a Monday and August 10 is also a Monday. Damn, no weekend gameplay for me... again!
While I'm happy that it's only a week's wait, I'm kinda sad I have to wait another week to play EP12.
So excited!
Hell Fuckin Yeah
FAAACK, im on vacation that week and the next... Well i have something to look forward to after my vacation tho :D All my saves are ready. so i think i have alot of playtime.
Congrat's! Have fun with it.
Can't wait to not use any of my dozen save games and to just start again from scratch!! LET'S GO!!!
Spoken like a true DiK.
Still very interested in the development of the platinum blonde that made her cameos at yoga, science labs and parties.
Time to start replaying season 1 and 2 (oh, and the rest of season 3), lol!
I'm playing another Jill run. With different choices. I cannot wait to see how things go.
Dam I will have FOMO on this one all my saves are toast i will have to avoid you cats for a minute but defitnly stoked
Great stuff DPC. It's gonna be an insane one. Enjoy your weekend.
Oh fuck, birthday release!! Can’t wait
Have a happy one.
I'll play all the paths from the beginning. I don't need to save, thanks :D
woohoo! It clashes with my summer holiday but I work from home so when I get back there may not be a whole lot of work for a while...
Lol, probably not.
Will the PC and Mac options be released at the same time?
Yes.
Holy damn it happened finally and i cannot wait for E12
What a great gift you gave to us today DPC! A first half of August release for a lot of us? That's amazing! I'm so excited that I'm not quite sure which mystery I'm the most eager to see resolved first! Is it Bella's secret room? Is it the big frat war engineered by you know who? Is it who cheated in midterms? Is it to know what will happen with sweet Rio? Or is it simply to see what happens with Jill and Sage, my two favorites? So many interesting things are happening all at once! Thanks again for brightening our lives with your exceptional writing DPC!
The closet thing is probably what has me anxious the most. Dying to know what is she hiding there and then the whole thing with her husband's absence. The sweetheart that is Rio is another as I hope we can see more of her and Quinn gets the payback that's well deserved!
Awesome! Maybe this will interrupt my Palworld addiction.
Alright, myself. You have the reason to live until next month. Keep your sh!t together.
LET'S FUCKIN' GOOOOOOOOO!!!!
What time on the 7th will it be released? I've got some planning to do and it's allll gonna revolve around this.
No time set, sorry.
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to it.
i had mods on my save files, do i need to replay everything? i had mods on since the begnning of the game
You should wipe the save folders and replay, yes. They won't work with the game. In %appdata%/RenPy you'll find Being a DIK folders with backup saves you need to wipe too.
Thanks for the very good news.👍😊
Hi okay I have current season 3 episodes via patreon obviously season 1-2 are gog and all saved etc but with this last episode will it be a case of downloading to current S3 file and download configuring to make it S3 complete or will it basically rewiring the whole of S3 afresh apart from saves etc sorry for sounding silly just need to make sure everything works as to be fair I don't mind having to replay hundreds of hours lol,anyways cheers
At lastt 😮💨😮💨
Thank you for the excellent news DPC. I can hardly wait.
Which tier should be in to get the full game as soon as possible and that also includes the official guide updated and released a month or 2 after Episode 12?
Huge DIK ($25) for day 1 access August 7. Guide is Major DIK tier ($15) tier, but not released at the same time as Sesaon 3 release.
It's here. Oh my God, just look at this beauty!
hi
@Chamberlain Wazzup, Maggot 😂.
That is great news. Can't wait to see how the story continues.
I always expected this game to be like 15 mins of jerking off before forgetting it. Then the story sucked me in. The way I gasped when Maya and Josy come clean and the song choice you used, fucking sublime. Every character is written so damn well if you’d write a novel I’d buy it in a heartbeat. I’ve been able to drag a few no sex game playing friends in and now they’re just as engrossed. This game and everyone’s story will stick with me forever.
For those who seek Steam release date: 10 hours ago (around 7h before this post was published) page was updated and it says September 2026, no exact day yet
WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO 🥳🎉!!!!!! HAPPY BAD DAY TO US 😁! Thank you for your hard work and dedication, DPC 😉👍🏻! Continue setting the standards for AVNs 🙌🏻 and being one of the GOATs 🐐. Hope you take your nice, deserved break until the last release comes out 😋 or until next month 😅. Rest 🛏 and Recharge 🔋 for the next course. We'll need our Dean/President/Chancellor (whatever title you want 🤓). Hey… just realized "DPC" 😂🤣😂🤣. Love and appreciate everyone, you, DPC, and our BAD/HOT Family 🤗. Hope everyone has fun when it's their turn 😁. Can't wait to be with my BAD ladies and continue this emotional rollercoaster ride 🎢 on this amazing 🥰, incredible 🤗, magical ✨️, magnificent journey 🌈. #ThereAreNoSideGirls 🥰💕🤗😍😘❤️😛😋🤤 WE'RE ALL GOING TO EAT GREATLY 😛🍽!!! See you all next semester ✌🏻😜!!!
Now, you know the timetable for you to get a new laptop just in time for the release! 🙂 You deserve it!
Funny, how so many plan on calling in sick (I totally know, how you mean it). However, I hope I am completely healthy within the next two weeks again. After lying down nearly 2 weeks with a heavy summer flu I know I can be thankful for every healthy day. I still need time to recover. To wait few hours more to play your favourite game is the least bad that can happen :-)
I know what you are saying. I was sick for two weeks with chickenpox. It's no joke.
Oh, sooner than expected. Thank you, Pink and beta testers!
Yup gonna have to call in sick that day hehe
Awesome! When can we expect to see it on GOG?
Thank you for all your hard work DrPinkCake, and the beta testers who are relentlessly going through the pain first just to ensure the finale is perfect for everyone else!!
Now we're talking 😍 For some of my paths I'll play 11+12 together - has been to lazy to progress em' for 1ep... 😂
If I decide to get S3 from Patreon instead of waiting on the Steam release, are the saves from Steam still accessible from the Patreon version?
Yes. If you saved at the end of Season 2 on Steam, in the special Save Transfer interface, you can import those to Patreon Season 3.
Another W DPC! Thanks for your hard work! Looking forward to episode 12
LF Steam announcement. 🫣
Here we go! I'm ready to retreat into the Batcave and disappear from the civilization for a while. :)
Soo you're saying I'm taking a three day weekend on the 7th. Understood
Remember to start coughing on Wednesday or so, to make the sick leave believable.
Let the sex games begin.
LETSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🥲
Hell yeah.
That's AMAAAZIIING!! Thank you for all your hard work Dr. Pink and all the testers and proofreaders, everyone who contributes!
I'm officially unavailable on August 10, thanks DPC!

Time to pull out our Doc not to be excused of work xD
Well then I know what im foing that whole weekend 🤪
ITS HAPPENING!
I'm actually off on the 10 of Aug so perfect timing let's go.
As I lost all my saves, I have made new clean ones, so I'm fully immersed into the game. Not gonna lie, I'm a bit worried about what's to come.
Yeah, those beta testers comments from last week were frightening as fuck!
OMG!!!!!!! Hyyype!!
It's time!!!

I was kinda hoping for the week after, since the wife and kids are gone for the weekend, but I won't complain, lol! I'm very excited about the new chapter. Given that it's the end of season i'm anticipating some huge developments in the story and I can't wait to get stuck in! Will the download be straight from Patreon again?
Wicked awesome, I was expecting middle to end of month. It's Christmas in July!!! Some people get to be a huge DIK year round I finally get to be one.
FUCK MY HUGE DIKKKKK!!! It’s finally cumming brothers!! 😍
@Taramriel Ahhh, another "Cumpetition" has started 💦💦💦. And... Taramriel is already out like always 🤣. I'm impressed, Becky got that out of Taramriel 😁.
