You modded your game in the past. Saves are tainted. Fresh saves would solve it.

DrPinkCake

Mods break your saves/games. Fresh save files will solve it. If you mod your games it's your responsibility and I can't help you.

EvolutionReborn

Anyone know why when I load the game. The screen goes black and my monitor thinks there isn't a display source? Just started happening a few months ago.

DrPinkCake
>>124044125

Sounds like a local issue to me. The only issue with the game I'm aware of that's similar is when animations are black screen, and that's because you didn't have a sound device enabled. Can you try if it's the same?

Anonymous

Is there any way we can get some Season 2 saves fast I've restored my machine to factory settings and can't find anything... guess I lost them

Patz Crux

Can you transfer your saves from episode 9.1? Or do you have to replay episode 9 first?

Anonymous

Wooooooo!

Anonymous
>>124044269

Thanks for the reply. I can guess in this case the most appropriate action would be to install 0.9.1, generate the save and then use that in 0.10.0. I hope I can still skip the text. Anyway thanks for the prompt response!

DrPinkCake
>>124044269

You can use 0.10.0 and import saves from Season 1/2 if you have them. If not, you'd have to download v0.8.3 (S1/2) and start from beginning.

DrPinkCake

I would put the zip file in downloads too before unzipping. Also, if you have a previous version installed on your mac, maybe create a sub folder so they don't get merged.

I did a fresh install for Season 9 and had the game patched to the latest version, but when I start S10, none of my saves show up. The Saves file is there and full of my S9 saves

Can you move the "game/saves" folder from your previous version to v0.10.0? That should solve it.

Jonathan Hang

Woooooo! I was trying to stay awake since I saw the release schedule, but I dropped right as this was released (4 a.m. my time). What a nice thing to wake up to. I'm going to download this now so I can play it later at night when I get off work. My excitement and anticipation are going to be building up throughout the day! My day can't get ruined now that I know the new EP of BeingADIK is waiting for me when I get home!!! Also, Merry early Christmas to everyone!

DrPinkCake
>>124055806

Hi! You have modded your game in the past, and your save files are tainted, causing the crash. To fix it, delete save files and start fresh. Save files are kept in two locations: 1. In your "game/saves" folder 2. In C:/users/your name/AppData/Roaming/RenPy/Being A DIK The mods are unofficial and illegal. I don't provide, maintain or condone them. They waste my development time. Thank you for understanding.

You can lower difficulty to Normal from the main menu. If you struggle with reflexes, Speed is a good skill to invest skill points in.

If you downloaded from the files up there, that's a false positive. It happens sometime with renpy and some AVs.

Awesome Episode Doc! Well worth the wait!!

To fix it, delete save files and start fresh. Save files are kept in two locations: 1. In your "game/saves" folder 2. In C:/users/your name/AppData/Roaming/RenPy/Being A DIK Make sure you delete the file named "persistent" as well to clear any mods from your saves.

can't put any points in speed without winning first, can't even beat the first guy edit: on another save I started with 1 point in speed somehow and it was way easier after adding another point in speed I could beat most opponents however on the save with 0 speed start I simply can't beat anyone and I think it needs some adjustments.

Already finished my first run through ep10 -- wish I'd paced myself a little better but couldn't resist 😁 The new additions are awesome, and the story/writing was captivating and hilarious as always Thanks for the great work once again, Doc!

I understand your unhappy at the use of mods but you should have warned people beforehand so they wouldn't of wasted all that money on a game that can't be played. Your steps only worked up until your name, Appdata does not show up on my computer. And I cant find a games/save file either. I thought I found the game files and deleted them including all the persistent files then unistalled the game and started from scratch but still didn't work. Looks like I just wasted a year's subscription and paying full price for day 1 release

everytime i open the exe the game doesnt launch at all

DrPinkCake
>>124120568

Do you get an error code? Or does it just crash to desktop? The first time you launch the game it will install and unpack some python files. It may take up to 1-2 minutes for a slower PC to do that. Can you try waiting a bit extra and checking if there is a folder called "PPython" in the "game" folder?

DrPinkCake

Do you get any errors when extracting the zip file? What I would do if I were you is the following: 1. Restart PC 2. Launch the game and wait 3. Check task manager to see if you can see BeingADIK.exe as a task If that doesn't work, I would try unzipping the file again and make sure there are no errors, then try playing again.

I just finished with playing every branch at least once and I have to tell I'm satisfied (and sometimes surprised in a good sense) with the story progress of EP10. There were some jaws dropping moments, some touching moments and some moments when I literally laughed my ass off (popcorn, I hope it doesn't count as spoiler). Congratulations on finishing EP10 and as I wrote in my post yesterday every second of waiting worth my time and it paid off. As usual, I can hardly wait for the previews and status updates of EP11 in the near future. Best regards, Doc! Keep up the good work and thank you!

Finished my Jill blind run yesterday and it took me 7 hours without any rushing, enjoying mini games, the gallery, (re-)reading Bios, etc. DPC, the episode content is awesome. Many emotions included (funny and sad). There was so much individual story content regarding branch and past choices. The mini games play very well (except English is too hard for non-natives... any chance to get a lower difficulty setting here?). I am looking forward to my other 18 saves... will start with a Josy/Maya one today. Thanks for the great update!

Great job with the game can definitely see difference with new computer set up

Did you game crash at some point? The unlocks are stored in a file named "persistent" and if your game exits abnormally through a crash or power failure you would lose that unsaved progress.

If you are on W11, try moving the game to another location. I've seen reports on that W11 requires admin rights to read/write some files if places in program folders. What I would try, if that's not the reason, is to delete the "persistent" file from "game/saves" and "%appdata%/RenPy/BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494" Then unlock things and see if it stays. You can, to make sure progress is saved, click "Save collectibles" from the Save/Load menu.

That's my only "bigger" negative I like all the changes about the Brawler really but forcing player to strat over with skill points it's bad. The game is better, harder and the opponents have better IQ but starting over with skill points and not being able to buy them, not fun.

Hey Doc, I've just downloaded Ep 10, and I'm excited to get started. Some part of me would like to go back an start from the beginning, because it's been a while, but I have no desire to re-do some of the very... specific choices that need to be made in the early chapters to go down certain paths. Any thought to adding a "re-play" mode that easy-modes branches that a player has already discovered? I know I'd appreciate it.

DrPinkCake
>>124325771

Hi, I've gotten this request before. I may have answered it in a recent Q&A. The short answer is that it's impossible to achieve this easily because the game has >1000 variables due to your choices throughout the episodes. Simulating all these would lose the tailored experience you get by playing the game, as many of the minor and major choices will affect the game. I understand where you're coming from with this request, but I've designed the game to have this level of branching and intend to keep it this way.

DrPinkCake
>>124325771

You can always make saves along the way after each episode if you need a "restore point".

Sage animation when she walks up to MC on their date is beautyfull, peak craftsmanship. Also the story is VERY good and I like how almost nothing in it is black and white and you could actually feel some sympathy for them. Loves it, one of the best episodes in the game, cannot wait for ep11. Well done Dr.

Scott

I've decided, after seeing how good ep10 is. DPC the wait was well worth it. I am going to delete everything, start over and create my own spreadsheet / progress report of my choices, paths, etc.. I have a feeling it will look like a neural network by the time I am done but it will be well worth it to make sure I get every possible outcome. It was nice to see the story lines in this episode. Great progress was made here. I focused on Josy/Maya to see how it was and, again, well worth it. Amazing work DPC. The upgrades show well in this episode as well. Thank you for this gift. Also, sorry about any spoilers I posted this past weekend. The excitement was ratcheted up. But that is no excuse. Cheers.

Hi DPC. FIRST OF ALL GREAT GAME GREAT STORY. IM ONLY PLAYING YOUR GAME BECAUSE ITS SO GOOD STORY TELLING. 2 questions is the steam version for Mac will be available in the future. And is there any chance to know when the next update will come? I’m still in the episode 6 playing it will take me a month to finish the episode 10. Hopefully it’s gonna take long 😃 Thank you have a great day

Steam and mac: No. Apple requires signed applications and don't like these kind of games to be signed. That's why it's a problem installing the game on a mac today, and Steam won't have unsigned apps on their platform. No ETA on the next update, this update was just released last Friday.

This game is so insanely good I cant even. I remember playing because it looked like some shitty sex game but the characters and writing was so good, that I literally treat it like a show with mini games. There is truly no other game like this - coming from someone who tried to find a contestant ever since I found being a dik. You get so emotionally hooked to the characters, I cried during episode 10. 10/10 episode 10

Who was the beta tester for the new fighting mini game, Justin Wong? I put it to normal, and you still have absolutely no time to react to anything. Needs some serious tuning. There's a reason I don't play fighting games with WASD.

DrPinkCake
>>124350822

Not to make fun, but beta testers included both elderly and disabled. Normal has been tuned to fit most players. Speed skill point is worth an investment if you struggle with reflexes. Arrow keys work if you don't want to use WASD.

Jason P
>>124345807

It was my second game after I found Acting Lessons. It ruined my expectations for all others. (or appropriately set, which led to disappointment)

Kudlak
>>124350822

Normal is pretty ok, after some testing no issue most of time

Telemachus
>>124350822

It's all good. I'm pretty confidant in my first impression. Even if you have appropriate testers, you might want to look at the testing process, or maybe consider if the outcomes are really what you want. If you got to this chapter after playing through the whole game and playing the earlier Brawler version, it might not be as jarring, but picking up Ep 10 after not playing the mini-game for a year or more, it was too much. I'm definitely not elderly or disabled, but it still took me 10+ fights to get into the rhythm of it, and that was not a good time. This was exacerbated by the fact that, when you start the mini-game, you have to save, start the fight, go through the dialogue, lose, go through more dialogue, go back to the menu, quit, and then do more dialogue before re-loading. I might have been more forgiving of the adjustment period if the time to retry had been faster and with far fewer steps.

Kudlak
>>124345807

I started, when season 1 and 2 where on gog, played like episode and half, found out I missed half of content, get pissed off ,started guilde, delete all progress and I am still here, spaming 🤣.

DrPinkCake
>>124350822

Yes, I agree. And I always evaluate what players think. You are the first player I see mention this, and I will keep it in regard for any fine-tuning of the timer. Perhaps tweaking the scaling per skill point - setting a larger timer for the first couple of skill points and then converging to the same time as it is now would provide a better entry point for Normal mode. What you mention about reloading fights is only true if you don't like seeing a loss in your stats; you can press a "Fight again" button immediately after any fight, and you won't have to go through dialogue. Thanks for your feedback!

Kudlak
>>124350822

Or add test fight, which will no show in stats? :-)

What is going on with the Brawler mini-game? The time to input actions to me seems insanely short/harsh. After 30+ attempts at low difficulty easiest opponent I am frustrated beyond belief. Are mini-games meant to be hard roadblocks now?

Jacek Wiśniewski
>>124386085

Brawler got harder for sure. On my first pt I had 30+ fights vs Troy too. Reaction time got shorter for sure. I don't know I guess you need to get used to this until you can win some and get SP. I was able to and on other pt's it was pretty much "regular" Brawler. I don't think they are roadblocks as they are not mandatory.

Jacek Wiśniewski

Weird question. I have a Huge DIK subscription and I wanna ask where on Patreon can I download Season 1 and 2?

Anonymous
>>124386085

Best I have is Troy to just around 50%. 50+ tries now and not having even a little fun. Nothing but frustration. In my opinion mini-games are supposed to be small distractions from the story and not some sort of roadblock to insert timed events for me to bash my head against the wall. There are a ton of game genres that specialize in reaction time and accuracy and I don't think it has a place in AVN's. Or at least offer a button to toggle/skip each mini-game individually if you want to go hard in the paint on difficulty. I have all of the MG paths saved with mini-games enabled. I really don't want to play each MG path all over again with mini-games disabled, but that may be the only option for my sanity.

Jacek Wiśniewski
>>124386085

I hear you. I ditched it for some time and kept playing disregarding Brawler. Came back after a while when I had a chance during Free Roam and managed to beat Troy enough to get SP and get used to to it. To me it's worth it cuz' all the other mini games a really enjoy and Brawler might be some money maker in the future. But that's just me. When I got used to that I maxed out Brawler on one of the "Others" PT's and let me tell you it was a real pleasure beating those guys. But the last one, damn it was another 20+ or even more fights before I won. The last guy can beat you in like two, three hits so I ended up with negative record but my character is still maxed out so I guess I'm ready for ep11 Brawler after all of this.

Anonymous
>>124386085

Okay I think I figured out something but I could have sworn I changed difficulty each attempt. I don't think clicking the lower difficulty once was respecting the lower setting and I was trying on hard each time with like a 2 second reaction time window which was punishing. I clicked again to change difficulty permanently, but again I thought I did that on several previous attempts. With 1 blue carry over skill point in speed I was able to breeze by Troy finally and move on to the others in the roster with more points in speed first. Perhaps that first toggle of lower difficulty is bugged and it is maintaining hard difficulty unless you change it permanent.

I was waiting with a cement about the episode until I've finished all major paths. I must say very good episode. The story just keeps getting better no doubt about that. A lot of emotions but also a lot of funny moments. You can say business as usual when it comes to B.A.D only the quality of the content is getting better with each episode. To me the most important is the story and the story as I said is 10/10 Really enjoy mini games and overall the smaller changes. Music is a blast as always very good match when it comes to song and a particular situation. Is it just me or did the graphics improved across the board? Big thanks Doc for all the hard work and commitment. Now the one thing and the most important thing. It was worth waiting for but still let's hope it's not another 12 month for ep11. If it is well be it cuz' I can only imagine what you're cooking Doc but still a year of waiting is a long time no matter how you look at it.

Jacek Wiśniewski

One more thing of course no spoilers. Big progress when it comes to Quinn despite of what she said at a barbecue. I'll always push for a full on Quinn path. Now there's unofficial one and I'm not saying it has to be "official" but it would be nice at some point to have like a major story event that would tell: Quinn is official now and you can focus on her as a player (in terms of choices and future endings). Saying that I'm well aware the "Others" path has that name for a reason but still there are a lot of girls to chose from on that path and Quinn... what can I say...

I had the same problem on my first playthrough so I skipped the fighting then on another playthrough I somehow started with 1 speed and it was way easier not sure if it's random which stats you start with but it sucks to start with 0 speed and 0 skill points.

I've done a single 'other' playthrough and noticed several typo's. One or two and I didn't pay attention to it, but after a few, I began taking screenshots of them. Also took a shot of a math test that I think might be wrong, or it could just be me, but I took a shot of it too. I wasn't planning on doing this and I wasn't looking out for it specifically. Anyway, the good is amazing as always. The mini-games and tests are great. The visuals are great. Dialog is great, although some of the sex scene dialog seemed unauthentic in some places, like a bad porn actor reading a rushed script. Abortion attitudes, 'whatever' attitudes, I don't like, but can overlook. I'm not into Maya and/or her story arch. Her Dad is a good one. Love Derick. Love everyone really in the story. And I love love love Being a DIK. and Sally. I luvs her. Can't wait to play different paths.

My thoughts are: 1. Persistent file didn't save because a) You crashed the game or b) Shut off game/pc abnormally 2. Are playing W11 and there is some issue with saving files if you put the game in Program Files as W11 started asking for Admin rights to save files. The issue is 100% the persistent file not being saved. Check the "game/saves" folder if you have a persistent file and check the date/time of when it was last modified to see if it's saving.

Hard mode is the default again in new Brawler. If you played old Brawler a lot, you will get a starting point in new Brawler with more blue Skill points (SP) that you otherwise has to farm for a bit to catch up. I've realized that the starting point of the timer in Normal might be a bit too short, if you haven't maxed out old Brawler and will tweak it slightly so that the scaling gets a larger bump at first and a lesser one later. Thanks for the feedback and hope you still can win on Normal as it is for now.

If you're talking about the choice of a particular girl within "Others" path, officilally there's none. What you can do is you can get closer with Rio and Quinn depending on your previous choices. What I meant in my comment was some major story even in the future that would set in ground with MC-Quinn dynamic. But that is more of my "dream" than anything else. Nobody knows what future holds for "Others" path really

Jacek Wiśniewski
>>124414117

Unfortunately you're probably right. That's the reality. Now we can only hope. I'm not saying I'm hoping at this point but I think two episodes a year would be perfect give or take month or two I'm not saying it has to be exactly 6 month per episode. 7 - 8 months per episode so almost two episodes a year would be optimal.

It'll be at least as long as this one. They take longer and longer each time, due to the nature of the episodes. I don't see that changing anytime soon. Unless he wins the lottery and buys even more hardware to deal with rendering, but then testing, scripting and actual writing still takes time, as does the pre-rendering, creating the rart and animations. So yeah. Late next year at best. barring stupid shit happening. Is my very own personal guess. High risk of 2025 imho

I have this issue on a first ever install on this computer. So I don't see how that can be the (only) issue. Never even used mods on my old PC for BaDIK either. If the good DR doesn't like it, i see no reason to. Reinstalled and cleared the files 3 times now, just in case some other corruption happens, and done a skip run 2 times to try to get the last ep started. Same result. One line from Eve, or whatevs the blonde was called and crash. Works fine all the way up to then, including E9. Spent 4+ days trying to get this running so far. Just weird, almost no one else seems to have issues. *sigh*

I wish I found this way sooner I am. Is cool with the long dev time plenty for me to catch up and find everything. DPC great writhing on this it rivals a lot of tv shows out there and your musical Choices do a great job capturing the emotion of it all

Well, I'm not a game dev. by any means so I won't pretend I know everything but to be precise Ep 9 took way less than a year. Interlude have been released in March 2022 and Ep 9 in December 2022. I know details matter, Ep 9 was shorter and there have bee other factors that played into this I don't know about but still.

The minigames are sometimes more difficult for me. Will you nerf them in the future or not?

Definitely make sure that you click on lowering the level, then click on it again. I've beaten all of the opponents, with never more than two attempts and my reactions aren't quite what they were in my youth, so you should be able to handle it. Also, try to use DODGE more than BLOCK if possible. They still do damage with block.

Thank you very much for all the Elena's part in your new update. By phone and in the scenes (same if only friends at the moment). Cheating or sharing is not a problem for me in the adult games, I love it. Elena is realy a good character that I like in your game and since the start. I would be very happy that MC could start something with her in the next updates, not only sex but in their true friendship, and why not in love. She said numerous times how their friendship is very good (and more by the new update) and she likes MC (I hope is not a Spoiler, she is very kind to MC everytime and since a long time in the uptades before). In my game MC could totally fall in love for Elena. Very great character, I'm very pleased that you have time in all the paths of the game to add Elena too for an important place in the story, thank you.

DPC, I gotta say - love the new Brawler (that's the Marine in me) but also love the science class/lab (that's the chemist in me). Of course, having Nora as eye candy helps.

Thanks everyone. My repeated failure initially was my own fault for not lowering the difficulty by clicking the difficulty change twice to make it a permanent change. I kept trying thinking I was on normal mode but was in fact repeating on hard mode with only my single blue carry over speed point and it was a no go. Normal with 1 blue point was quite a bit easier and was able to obtain more skill points to make the remaining fights much easier.

>>124467126

I'd love Elena as a friend if I'm being honest. Not really into her romance wise but she's really good character. Her reaction at the beginning of the Others path is wholesome and genuine. And it's an AVN. If as a player you don't wanna get involved with someone but still want that character around that goes to show how deep ot really is

Awesome episode as always Doc. May i make just one suggestion that would be really helpful for some people? For like the math test and the colored spheres maybe do a colorblind mode?

Great season. I really appreciate the attention to detail and the diversification of themes while keeping a clear main storyline. And as always great to see a lot of branching options that really make the world feel more real and give a sense of importance to the choices you make. Thanks and looking forward to the next chapter! I will try to support you for as long as I can.

I felt that brawler is too quick for me, I don't have a quick react to push buttons. Is there any way to slow it down a bit?

DrPinkCake
>>124537751

Did you try lowering it to normal mode? Can you invest a skill point into Speed? The upcoming patch will have some fine-tuning to the normal mode speed if it's still too fast for you.

I'll admit that I only fought Troy as brawl for the first time. So, will there be a select mode after that?

There already is one, you can lower it from Hard to Normal from the Brawler menu at the bottom. Click two times to lower.

Absolutely incredible episode! I've only just finished playing all the different branches across all of my save files. My only criticism of the last one was that it felt too short. You definitely addressed that one here the length was perfect (though obviously i never want it to end). If you can keep future updates either this length or longer your fan base will be very happy. Each branch felt as though it had a lot of love too. Absolutely superb writing for each My one request is please please can we get a scene with Sally already. The tension and teasing is killing me!

Fonzy

Amazing Episode - I just finished all of the different branches I had, with the main characters and others, and the different options have been amazing.... I cant believe how well you keep up with the different paths, kudos on the great work.... I'm just sad ill need to wait another long time for the next steps. We enjoy it so much, it always seems short, as we desire to keep playing :) great job as always.

I'm finding that in the classroom mini games, I'm failing tests that I thought I had passed. Badly. For example, I found all the diamonds in math class, but the results showed I only passed one out of five of the puzzles.

DrPinkCake
>>124581381

Your answers are likely wrong somehow; if you need tips/hints on how to pass, you can always join my Discord server and chat with people about it. I'm sure they will help you with how to think when you deduce the tasks.

Teufelhunde DJI

So, is there anybody else that has the hots for Lynette? Maybe DPC will consider a prequel as Neil. Just sayin' . . .

Dr P, could it be that the math game is broken? I keep deducing but everytime guess work still comes into play because multiple options are still possible.

DrPinkCake
>>124585011

I have manually tested all 50+ solutions, so I hope not. There should be no guesswork involved if you do it correctly. If you still think there is a bug with a task, send me a screenshot on my Discord server - or if you just want help with a problem, I'm sure the community will step up.

charliex
>>124581381

The first test in Bella's class also seemed to grade really harshly. For example, I had one 6 letter word, which scored as 20% of the 6 letter words. Were there really a total of five 6 letter words for that puzzle? That's alot compared to previous tests.

DrPinkCake
>>124581381

Test grades are based on a total of found words. It's graded correctly; there are many four-letter words in this test.

Anonymous
>>124585011

Multiple options are not possible in my experience. Ive played the math game many times and any time I've gotten it wrong was because I misunderstood what it said. And those times were when I was tired. Being fully awake I get 100% every time.

The timer on the English test is way too fast then previous ones! Hard as heck too! Makes me realise how bad my word vocab is and my Math on those puzzles too LOL! Also I hope at some point we get DEDICATED guides for EACH of the potential romances as I am fed up of having to keep reloading old saves and guessing only to not get the access to the Women, like Quinn for example I got the rooftop scene and scene together with Sage but I didn't get the Halloween scenes etc. Same with Nicole, when I had to option to spoon Lily or Nicole I couldn't with Nicole even though I fooled around with her just before in the park at the strip club etc. The big guides are no good in my opinion for specific Women runs, we need DEDICATED choice guides to make it easier. I've played through S1 and S2 so much at one point trying to get all outcomes I burnt myself out of the game lol.

Well, I've now finished nearly every branch at least once. Got to say my emotions were all over the place with this episode! Even the Others girls are seemingly handled with care. As someone who likes both Rio and Lilly (and a few others lol although mainly those two) this was so appreciated. Brawler's new upgrade is pretty cool as well. And last but not least, Dirty Toy Company? I waited till I played Episode 10 before I heard any of it and WOW do I love it!

Some more feedback on that test. I think the issue is the timing being fast. To test my theory, I went back to an earlier save and retook the test, only this time I cheated. I found a website that allowed me to enter all the letters, and then shot out a list of all possible 6, 5 and 4 letter words. All I needed to do was to enter them. The kicker is, that even with all the answers, I still could only manage to enter enough words to score a 71% in the allotted time. A passing score, but barely. And I think even then I only passed because I worked backwards, filling out all the 6 letter words, then 5 letter and the running out of time before all the 4 letters were done. I think if the time on the test were increased some it might solve the issue. I don't think I'm the slowest typist out there by a long shot.

Oh, and no more problems with the diamond test. That was just my bad, for watching the tutorial at 2:30 in the morning. No issue after rewatching and taking my time with it.

Hi all, it is all really nice, I did enjoy it apart that English class my problem there that I could not type that quick when been possible to use cursor was much better I think and brawler too quick as well and no chances for me to get through, but rest of it is brilliant thank you

If you download the fix Doc put up I believe it slows the timer a bit in Brawler.

Anonymous
>>124649420

Also, check the brawler difficulty. I think the updated system set it as default to hard since all my saves were set to hard mode and I have a potato brain. I believe the setting is bottom left of the fight menu and asks you to confirm before lowering.

I love AVN.s just not this one any more, the 1st season was great, the 2nd was good but then came the prelude playing a girl and it went downhill from that point on. I have played 100.s of AVN.s for the last 4-5 years, but I like AVN.s where there are more focus on the MC and less on ewery body else and with out free rome and mini games

Scott
>>124705942

In the very beginning you can skip mini games.

Galaaz

Well I've only had time to play through 2 branches so far but I gotta say I love it so far. As always good length to the episode, I love the new features, the relationship tracker is a nice addition and I love how you revamped the brawling mini-game. I have to agree with previous comments on the fact the timer for English classes is a bit too fast, had to reload a few times to get the 100% and not sure if I like or hate the math classes, I'll have to play it again a few more times. As always animations and renders are flawless and I love the story development. You always find ways to take us on an emotional roller coaster. Last thing I will say is just keep doing what you do and don't listen to those who complain about the story being too long or not liking the free roams/mini-games... I feel confident the next 10 episodes will be as good if not better than the first 10 and true fans will stick around. Yes there are hundreds of other VN's out there for those who don't like this one but none of them comes close to this level of quality you keep bringing. You're alone at the top and don't let anyone tell you any different. You keep making your fans and patron proud to finance your project. -Cheers.

On English class I didn't have problems with time (I'm not English native) but I thought there was a bug cuz' I had 45, 40, 80, 80% respectively, something like that and I failed the test but I'm not sure. Story could be even longer overall (new plots, side plots etc.). And you're 100% right. There are a lot of VNs/AVNs some provide decent story, some better graphics, some comparable renders (especially now that there are newer games) but none gives the player whole package and B.A.D does. Everything is at the high level or at the top of the business for that matter. And when it comes to attention to details DPC is there on his own

Story is great as usual, but the minigames are way too involved so far. I think I'll turn them off on future playthroughs if this is the direction they're going. I much preferred the simpler minigames in seasons 1 and 2. Just wish it wasn't an all or nothing thing. Party planning is fun, but the classes are too much.

I have now finished every path with some more than once and I can say I can no longer look at the episode ending without knowing what happens next. Its hard to watch and each time is harder. I have several more playthroughs to continue with variations in the paths, so until next release (probably a year I know) I'll be saving each remaining playthrough right before the end. Still loving the episode, its just the ending thats hard to watch.

Exactly. And to me it's like it's still college AVN so it's not heavy or mature by any means but it's getting there. Story is evolving, characters are evolving (could be even more of that) and the amount of content is great. There's a variety of content and that's another strong card of B.A.D. Guess for some it's too much.

Sounds like you have patched S2 with S3 in the past. Did you merge folders by accident? The only fix is to delete your game, persistent and save files from "game/saves" and "%appdata%/RenPy/BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494" Re-download the original game files from Patreon.

He doesn't give tech support here. Go to the Discord server.

If you aren't sure how to do that, ask on Discord (I probably won't be checking back here to follow up).
