Story driven VN with completely new models. All of them done very well; I liked them all. Everything is really well done, including the animation. There’s also a large selection of women introduced already, and it looks like you can either have a loyal romance with one of them, or go after them all.

You can tell A LOT of time was put into this VN already. Recommended.

Well this one is in early development but so far it shows a lot of potential. Visuals and the animations are nice and all in all really good, even though some female characters look a bit too over-weight for my taste. But all in all as i said i like the aesthhetics and look of the game.
The story might not be the most original, but the writing is good and it gives the story a new flavour, specially with the south american cultural touch and temperament, it feels kind of fresh. Character are so far interesting and have potential, but given that it’s early stage, naturally you can’t expect much of a character development. But i have a good feeling about it, if the writer keeps the same energy and style.
My only tip for the devs so far (if they somehow see and read this) :
You should be careful with asking the player to make some decisions so early in the game. At the end of the current version (episode 1) player needs to decide whether they want a relationship of sort with one of the girls (so far the main girl in the story). It’s not a problem on itself, but putting this kind of decision, which impacts most probably the whole story, so early can complicate things. From the story telling point of view, it’s not a good idea to ask player to make such decision before telling the background story of MC with this girl. Player has no emotional attachment to the girl other than having had sex with her 2 times.

All in all i liked the visuals, writing and the atmospher of the game. My rating is at the moment 4 Stars or around 90%.
So yep well done devs and keep up the good work and don’t let all the demanding bitches put you under pressure. Tell your story the way you want it to be told. That’s why games like Being A Dik are good, because they don’t make compromises.

Wow, so excited to see what’s next… I hope the wait won’t be long…!!!???

It’s not really prophecy. It’s statistics. I’ve been a professionally paid reviewer of games on another site; and I’ve played hundreds of games just like this. Many of which held some promise. Not all, and most had frustrating mechanics or slow wait times to new updates. Funding is a bit of a problem for these games if the dev won’t pay into it themselves. If you play enough of them they do blend in. There’s the fact that some either won’t know how to write, or render, or they’ll make promises to too many paetrons that will cost them subs. It’s a crap shoot really. So most of these games will NOT be completed. Because of any number of reasons, including the dev deciding to move to another project, not knowing what to do to FINISH the story properly. Rushing the story as was the case with Sisterly Lust, or actively countering set parameters in their game, again like Sisterly Lust. There are games like Good Girl Gone Bad who do end, but end abbruptly, with not nearly as much done to alter the character as might have been. Not nearly as many true ending paths as there really should have been. So if a game DOES get finished, it can actually be rather unrewarding for the playerbase. Like Sorcerer. Which I am hoping to see more of once the dev gets finished with the second part of his original game Terminus Reach: Sentinel. Which was cut short and skipped five years ahead to start the next game. Would I like to see most of the games I enjoy get a full swing, absolutely. There’s one called Reluctant Archon I would love to see brought back and carried forward. But again, most of them will simply be abandoned. Because at the end of the day, A greater number of these game devs are very much learning as they go. Some have true skill for story craft and art work design, but that’s the diamond in the rough.

admin, can you update the game? in their patreon page, V.0.05 is already out 13 hours ago (currently living on UTC +07.00 time zone)
