Status update Episode 9
I've been posing animations, some static renders, and playtesting a lot this week.
I have 44 animations in the render queue and 252 completed ones.
I'm finishing up the lewd scene I've been working on this week. After that, I have a partial lewd scene left to pose a few animations for. Then I'm done with the planned art. I estimate that I have ~20 animations left to pose.
It will be a push, but I aim to complete what's left of the art in the upcoming week, and after that, I will test and polish like crazy while completing the remaining tasks and waiting for the PCs to render the animations in the queue.
Some of the remaining activities include:
Writing Bios for the episode
Fixing ending screens
Recapping the story in the intro section
Adding patrons to the credits section
Those tasks I mentioned shouldn't take more than a couple of days to add.
Before beta testing and proofreading can start, my personal playtests and the render time are the big things left.
Speaking of the credits section, I will lock the entries for v0.9.0 before next Friday. If you put your name as a comment on the post in THIS LINK (Not the Status update you're reading) before that, you will appear in the credits for Episode 9. If you already appeared in the Interlude or have commented on that post since you don't have to put your name on there again.
This week I played my game from start to finish for the first time since March. It's a helpful way for me to polish a new episode, and it's easier to feel how the new episode flows together with seasons 1 and 2.
It's always inspiring for me to do this, and each time I do it, I'm baffled by how big the game has become while knowing how much more of the story is left to tell.
Even though Season 3 is just starting, it feels complete in my head and notes. Ideas and scenes written four years ago will finally be a part of the playable game - to me, that's crazy.
I'm usually my biggest critic regarding the content I put out, but with episode 9, I can wholeheartedly say: FUCK ME, this episode is good.
Have a nice weekend

Damn if the good DR himself says the episode is good, I'm even more excited than I was before!
I like the way you humanized Quinn and Lily last episode. They both had their reasons for being who they are. I hope you expand on their stories.
Can👏not👏wait!!
Unbelievably excited for this! DPC you've already made a masterpiece and I can't wait to see the continuation of it in Episode 9!
DPC is the only developer I trust right now tbh
First off so excited! I can't wait for this season! Secondly would you ever consider doing a live stream or video on how you go about making a scene or working on the animations? I aspire to make a game of this quality and would love the chance to see how you do it.
Can`t wait for the launch of the episode. This is the best AVN game out there by far. Keep up the good job, Doctor ;-)
To say that BaD is the best AVN is definitely not an exaggeration. There are other good AVNs out there that I enjoy, but BaD is just so much better.
I also must say the replayabity of Being a DIK amamqzes me. That is indicative of your ability and epic talent. Keep on keeping on! ❤️ This game nay I xperience and cant wait for the next installment!! Cheers!
So there is a good chance to see the release for late November or the beginning of December. That's cool.
I am so down for all that.
Ep 9 is so close that one can actually smell Arieth's crab infested snatch in this update!
Last call for those boarding the Hype Train! Let’s f**king GO! 🥳🚂
Must be so hard having to wait 4 years to finally put in that content you imagined, and probably a few years more before you can unfold the finales!
Can’t fucking wait, thanks for the update as always
Soon. Sooon. SOOOOOON.
So I have my Jack Daniels and Lubriderm on stand by LOL
Oh how you hype up and cock tease us so.
is there like a special aa type place for this game cause i already know that a week after 9 comes out i'll be chomping at the bit for 10
So true
👏🏼👏🏼
cant wait for this
Marquise Johnson and keep up the good work I can’t wait to play it.
So excited to see how the story has progressed in this new episode!
Looking forward to it!
how large is the file for ep3?
Keep up the good work!
I say without a shadow of a doubt that Being A DIK is the gold standard in adult games in my eyes. It was my first when I picked it up on steam (I think it was season 1?) and since has remained the best adult game experience I've had. And there are some good ones. I currently have 17 playthroughs imported and ready to go for episode 9! So looking forward to it!
I agree. Haven't played any adult games with this standard at all. Still remains as my top choice.
Can't wait for Ep 9
That final line in this update has me excited. Ep.9 - LET'S GO!
Can't wait it'll be great
Thank you! Don't forget to sleep, Doc ;)
Alig várom!
So close! Can't wait!
I can't wait!

So excited for this new Ep. You are a Master of this art form. -BarredHalo
Fantastic work DPC!
Personal, I would love to see how a flowchart for an episode would be like. Because I have a feeling it would be all over the place to where Derek would say, "Ass-Man I can't make heads or p**** of this."
Well Done keep up the good work, and dont burn yourself out :)
Amazing work DPC! Looking forward to it!
Man I LOVE YOUUU -Cristobal Rodríguez
