Status update Episode 5
Two weeks ago I made a bullet point list for you, with the tasks that remain before beta testing and proofreading.
Here's an updated version of it.
Scenes left to write and produce art for: 4
Static renders left to produce: 100-200
Animations left to produce: 1 + waiting for the current animation queue to complete.
Writing and adding Bios to the code
Writing Episode 5 ending report
Implement Replay gallery and rewards (almost done)
Some mini-game code
Music and sound effects have been added to ~95% of the episode.
Playtest and Quality control
I'm sure many of you are wondering if the release is in May or June.
It's hard for me to say which it is, right now. The final percentages of any project are the ones that take the longest time to complete.
I'm feeling fairly sure that beta testing (my group of private testers) and proofreading will start in May.
When it starts and I have a grasp of the workload for the bugs they find, I will announce the public release dates.
Have a nice weekend

So freakin' excited, DPC!
That’s awesome can’t wait
Looking forward to it! Keep up the awesome work!
Cheers!
awesome news. Stupid question will Episode 5 be compatible with save files from the Steam release. Or should I use the PC download version here?
I once asked that question when I first came here. The Patreon version you can download here and the one on Steam use different save files and aren't compatible. If you want to experience Episode 5 as soon as it releases, you'll need to download the version that on here and then download the update patch when it is released, or the larger download of Season 1 + Episode 5. Steam will get the entire Season 2 as DLC when it is ready.
We really appreciate the regular updates, Doctor. Thanks a million for all your hard work!!
I like what you’re doing, please don’t stop, I want to know how this story will end. Issam. 27 Russia
Can’t wait for ep 5. We appreciate you Doc!
Take your time, mate. You've created such a great story and game that it's obviously really important to make sure it's right up to your standards. Too many examples of games in the industry that are rushed, and we all know how that goes haha! Have a great weekend :)
Thanks for the update. Can't wait to continue the story. Have a wonderful weekend!
Doctor? Is this season going to have an episodic layout (episode 5, 6, 7 and 8) Like last season?
I answered this question in a recent Q&A. My answer was basically that I make season splits based on the amount of content, not a fixed episode count. But having four episodes for Season 2 is a good estimate.
Looking forward to it! Have a good weekend aswell Doctor!
Huh. Looks like I was too optimistic myself regarding the release date. Alright! Early(ish) June it is!
You’re right about the final few percent, it’s the little details which take so much time. Out of curiosity how many renders do you do in a day, on average?
Recently bought Being a DIK off of steam and am enjoying it so far. ***SPOILER ALERT*** I have to say that first weekend when you go back to see Josy was written so well! From talking to Steve about his parents divorcing to the dinner and night with Josy. The dialogue and realness I felt from you making the first move to get close and the way it goes down was amazing. I've been there in real life and in was portrayed excellently. The music was great for that whole scene also. I hope my character is never torn between Josy and Maya lol they are both great characters, great character models. Great work sir! I'll have to get Acting Lessons from Steam after I finish Being a DIK All the Best Tom, 33 UK
100% hard recommend on Acting Lessons, but beware, it's a lot to take in and it will haunt you for weeks ;)
Thanks for the update, the wait will be worth the wait as always. Thanks for your hard work!!
Thanks for the update, DPC. Take care and I wish you a relaxing weekend!
Cool.
Thank you for your hard work!
Keep it up pink 👍
