Status update Episode Interlude
It's the final post of 2021! I hope you've had a great time over the holiday.I've been working on animations, sounds, and music this week.I've been making longer animations in general for the episode and a higher ratio of SFW (safe for work) animations than I normally do. I really enjoy it!So far, I have added 18 new songs to the interlude. I might need a few more before I'm done with that.2022 is soon here, and the year will ...

Patron milestone celebration
During the recent release, you helped me reach several patron milestones, and today I want to start the first step of the Patron reward that I have in mind.The reward is a Custom Render set, much like I do for the highest tiers on Patreon, but for this particular set, every patron will be a part of what gets ordered, and every patron will receive the full set after I have produced it.I will carry out the reward in three steps.Step 1. Patrons comm...

Upcoming Patreon tier changes
Since Being a DIK - Season 2 will be sold as a product on Steam soon, it's time to update my Patreon tier rewards. I must do this as I need to keep prices fair for all customers.Because I have released several products, this becomes increasingly harder to keep affordable, as Patreon tier prices would shoot up with every product I release. And I don't want that. Patrons should never be punished for wanting to support me.My priority with th...

Post-release information
This last week was insane in so many ways. It was the most hectic and fun release so far. There are always going to be problems during releases, but it went relatively smoothly despite some hiccups. The game has gotten too big, both in popularity and file size, to distribute to patrons effectively. It's a wonderful problem to have.Each server used was struggling all week long, and it was exhausting trying to deliver the update in a timely fas...

Status update Episode 8
It was an intense week. The last percentages of work on any update always mean a lot of work.And since it's the final update of the season, the workload has been even more significant than usual.I have managed to narrow down the checklist further.Art tasks that remain: Render time for the final animation queue. Currently, 28 animations are waiting to render.Other tasks that remain: Polishing the dialogue and code Playtesting Thorough testing ...

For the better part of this week, I wrote code and performed quality assurance for the episode by playtesting and polishing art, code, and dialogue.I have now added music and sound effects for most of the episode, and I still need a few more songs for specific scenes.I started working on a big coding task that I have hinted about in the past, and today it's a good time to share some details on it.Because the game is getting pretty big, and Re...
