Patch v.0.10.1 is live + Post-release information
Patch info
Patch v0.10.1 is now live here.
If you have v0.10.0, you don't have to patch your game unless you want the bug fixes listed below.
You can wait until v0.11.0 to get these changes; most of you won't notice any difference.
But if you're interested in the patch, this is what's been fixed and added in v0.10.1:
(Minor spoilers. If you haven't played Episode 10 yet, don't read the changelog.)
-- Changelog v0.10.1 --
Fixed a bug where a Jill scene could be played twice during the BBQ free roam event.
Fixed a bug with an event in the second free roam of episode 9, where you could trigger a scene before talking to Josy.
Added a missing Halloween picture of Jamie to the phone gallery.
Tuned the scaling of the Brawler Normal mode timer slightly, to give a slightly increased timer at earlier skill point levels. Hard mode is unaffected by these changes.
Added Maya's lewd event from Episode 2 to the Girls tab in the Stats app.
Improved the wording of Step 3 in the Science experiment.
Fixed a bug with viewing Brawler and Science tutorials.
Disabled saving during English, Math and Science mini-games, as it serves no purpose and can potentially cause odd bugs.
Fixed an issue with the Mixed Rewards section, causing a traceback if Pack Quest of Episode 10 was unlocked on a fresh persistent file without closing the game once between gaming sessions.
Fixed an issue where Josy would erroneously appear in a party free-roam event after finding a special render.
The quick menu setting to keep it enabled/on hover/disabled is now a persistent variable that you only have to set once for all your saves.
Fixed an issue with the Party Planner interface in the Stats app, that got an erroneously updated multiplier in the text. It only affected the text history of the Multiplier bonus.
Fixed so that caps lock will not interfere with English class typing.
Fixed a bug with missing music during a lewd scene replayed from the gallery.
Fixed a clipping hand on a Jill render.
Added extra calls to close blood effect screens during gUndead.
Added a color blind friendly setting in Preferences>Settings for Math and Science mini-games.
Fixed a bug with buying the Query tool from within the math mini-game that caused it to be purchased more than once if clicked continuously.
Fixed a bug with a SFW Josy animation missing a starting image.
Fixed a couple of variable lookups that affected two lines of dialogue.
Fixed two Rooster comments, tagging themselves with their post.
Corrected typos
Post-release information
It's been one week since release today, and it has felt like a blur to me.
At the moment, DIK tiers and above have access to the episode, and in another week, the patch for the Mini DIK ($5) tier will be released.
Download servers, Patreon, Discord, and all bots have worked well throughout the week.
I've been monitoring bug and typo reports, and most of what's been reported has been minor bugs. Thank you so much for your reports! Keep them coming if you spot new bugs or typos.
Nothing game-breaking has been reported. Overall, I'm very pleased with this release. It has felt very smooth on my end. I dare say it's been one of the smoothest releases.
Thanks a lot for your support during this week. I've been humbled by your feedback and am so thrilled to see you enjoy the episode this much.
The official guide
Many of you ask about the guide; I'll say what I say elsewhere for visibility.
As usual, the guide will be written after all tiers can access the update.
As I wish to spend time with my family during Christmas, I will work on it whenever possible.
Expect a January release for the guide.
Episode 11 development
The first Status update for Episode 11 will be posted on January 5th, where I will talk about the Episode 11 progress I've made since the start of beta testing.
You can also look forward to new polls and the yearly Q&A, where you can submit your questions about game development and my games.
I wish you all Happy Holidays! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your immense support.
It's you who've made this game a reality; without you, it wouldn't be what it is today.
I look forward to this next development cycle with you.
Love
Dr PinkCake

This update is great but I want to be able to turn off mini games if possible. I spend wayy too long trying to get a perfect score and reloading saves and not getting to to rest of the game
Hi there doc. I was a part of the discord server and was even chatting in it yesterday morning but it seems I was kicked out of it sometime later that day. I have tried joining by the link on your patreon page but it says it it expired. Can you send me a new link please?
Ep10 is great and even got better graphics (it seems to me) ; even the two ugliest girls (for me yep) looks better now (maya and cathy went from 1/10 to 3/10) ; they are still not my cup of tea, but they were ok to finish the 36 out of 36 scenes possibilities (only to have all of the scenes as I have 0 interest in these two yep). To each is own mind of course. So nice to have so many possibilities in the game ; and more and more coming in probably as the Jill & Bella might become something down the road, the Josy&Maya&Sage eventually, and the new ones (probably Bianca, maybe Clara, and some nice others that appears and I hope will become "available" for some interactions down the road -like the beautifull asian girl watching the brawler fights in ep10 for example-). DPC is really a master of suspens and create a very artfull and entretaining game ; yep probably the best of this kind out there (all others look shaby compare to BaD and feel without depth). Enjoy your time with your familly and Xmas hollidays DPC and thanks so much for your great work !
is the beta testing status on when it is about to reach the goal or what does that mean???
The episode was released almost two weeks ago: https://www.patreon.com/posts/94052185 This post details the patch with bug fixes.
Love all the hard work and the quality of the game you put out! My two cents, for what it's worth. There are too many mini-games/management stuff. Some of the mini games are great, brawler, party management, classes but some of them are getting out of hand. The fish tank managment game? it seems pointless and like it took probably not a small amount of time to design and code. I think the ones you have are great, probably time to to refine and perfect though, not add more. Just one players opinion though. Keep up the good work!
i agree, i find myself conflicted; i should have turned off mini-games but i didn't want to burn through the 9 & 10 episodes too quickly. I turned them on and found i was too slow on brawler, which may have been a whiskey effect; i was behind on math and English to my dismay. At least I felt i did well on the party management, science and aquarium duties, lol.
Brawler is much tougher now and the first English quiz goes too fast too! Other than that I am enjoying seeing everyone again.
Feedback on the 10.1 patch: I love it! I'm actually enjoying playing Brawler app now. Thanks :)
Every update keeps on getting better and better. Have a great rest Mr DPC sheew
Yeah, this update was superb
This game ruined all other AVN’s for me. They don’t get close.
Loved the Jill/MC "Happy" branch. I hope it keeps up that way. There needs to be at least one happy ending. That's my vote! Thanks for all the hard work!
I honestly feel that most of the branches will have the potential for being "happy", if you play them for who you are going for. If you go full DIK with some of them, that will be "happy" for some, but misery for others. So, try to fit how you play with who you go for if you want a "happy" ending.
Can't believe I didn't notice, I really enjoyed every branch. The MJ being the best but I don't know anything out there that is really good in almost every way. Vast better than any other AVN
Wonderful progress with S3 so far, Doc... keep going... every laugh, all tears, all moments are damn worth it... that Ep10 ending was... simply amazing.. impossible to see certain characters like we used to in the first couple of seasons... happy holidays, DIKS!
My favorite game series, hands down. I'm super invested in all these story lines, and can't say that for many games! <3 can't wait for episode 11!
Very well done! I was a bit surprised that Josy is "hunting off the reservation" so-to-speak, Very interesting branches though.
DPC, once again, great job on a very quality episode. Completely looking forward to the next. Each one gets better than the one before. Enjoy the holidays and take some time to relax. You earned it.
I am new to this game DR. love the work you do happy holidays
Happy holidays DPC, enjoy your well-deserved time off with your family and the same to all my fellow DIKs and HOTs.
Love your work
Anyone knows where’s the 3rd key?
The Haunted house? Location are in safe, green jar (must look at clue in door), and cage (resting in one of the bars).
Hoping to see the other girls have branches on the next episode. Didn’t really know the fallout on some of the decisions made in episode 9. Thanks for a solid episode.
Do u know where’s the 3rd key?
The adjustment on Brawler speed is much better, thank you!!
Thank's and Enjoy the season !and the eggnog...
HEY DrPinkCake! First I want to say mega cool game/game series. I remember when I discovered this game and started trying it. I thought this is okay... But I kept going. And it got better and better... Now I have to admit it is one of my favorite games/game series. It's funny, sad, challenging, annoying at times (hate Jocks)... However, I wish the episodes came faster. But good work and please keep up the good work!!!!!!!!
If you check the status updates as they come out, you would know that the speed of release is due to the work being done. At this point, the estimate is that the season is 60% complete, which may make episodes 11 and 12 a bit faster.
I'll be real, while doing more Direct Chosen Girl Paths, something I know is me just nitpicking but... Who beat up Troy? (Just before Chik/Dik Choice) Sage said Chad gave her MC's guitar, so Chad couldn't have. Only one that comes to mind is Dawe
Chad hides that he is gay. So I guess you are right or they are Alex. But pretty sure it's one of Jocks
Episode was awesome can’t wait for the next one thanks for all your hard work
I'm still replaying EP 10 a week after the release. I played and got everything already; it's just that I didn't PERFECT the math test (I settle for just passing at 80%), and it was bothering me looking back at all my playthroughs, seeing 22 perfect classes out of 23 passed classes, so I'm replaying EP 10 for all the routes again and getting those PERFECT scores! Replaying all the mini-games, phone games, keeping track of your money for the fish tank, and getting all the upgrades for each playthrough—it's rough, lol. Happy Holidays to you as well! Edited on 12/20. Finished all the MG playthrough; just need to play my All DIK manwhore playthrough three more times for Lily & Nicole (together on one playthrough) and Quinn (separately) and another one for the others potentially LIs (Riona, Zoey, Jade, with everyone else being F-buddies atm: Camila, Mel, Sarah, Candy, Nora, Cathy, Heather, etc.). Also, the Fish Tank is pretty easy now; lots of reloading, baby!
as a similar player, the math game is killing me! 60-80% each time is brutal
Thanks for the info, have a good weekend!
nice avatar, hope you enjoyed Ep10 Bella PT 🙏🏻🤤
Thanks you so much and keep on doing we love it! Happy Holidays!
Happy holidays to you good sir, and thanks as always for another fantastic update!
In previous episodes was Mia one of the leading girls? Does she have a path?
Mia?
Thank you Doc. Sweet holidays
I already played all my 4 Routes. Bella is still my favroite. It was nice to see all the Characters again after the long break.
Doc, enjoy holidays, you've outdone yourself again with this episode, it's a banger!
Great work on the episode as always DPC! Happy Holidays!
Hmm, it is possible to download picture? 😅
Patreon is a bit weird with image sizes, sadly. You can always get the picture from the latest Steam news post.
DPC just like the last episode, I cannot wait for the next one. I finally was able to finish all my Playthroughs. You've done great work with this.
The new episode was awesome! Jill is still my favorite. It always feels like it goes by to It's fast when i'm playing after all the time you spend making it.
Ladies and Gentlemen... DPC has now left the building!
Happy holidays Dr PinkCake. All the best
Happy holidays DPC, a well deserved rest mate. The way you keep up with all the branches still amazes me. I had different saves with different choices and affinity, and loading each and every one of them for episode 10, showed different responses and scenes. Really amazing work 👏
Great work. Happy holidays, have a great time. That goes for all my fellow DIKs large and small.
The Dr is in!
Thanks for this amazing episode Doc and Happy Holidays.
Thank you DPC
Appreciate all that you do, always! Thanks for the detailed write-up, and happy holidays to you, Doc!
I just thought if it is same pc from Hell Week? My Got it is creepy - Vivat Jill Ball-Kicker 💣
I wish we could have seen that scene, like we did with Josy and Tommy.
man you’ve ruined every other VN games for me 🤣 this game is just too good cant wait to finish the episode!
Thanks for the great episode and wishing you happy holidays
Thanks a lot for another wonderful episode. It is so easy to repeat again myself - you did a great job. Only I am affraid never enjoy water-melon again 😜
Do you think he warms it up first?
Thanks to you for making it Doc! Have a great holiday with the family!
