Frequently asked questions (Patreon)

My inbox gets swamped easily these days, and I have no way of answering all messages.

Most questions that you send me are of a nature that can be answered with a FAQ post and I will try to answer and refer to this FAQ in the future.

Furthermore, I ask that you don't message me unless it's urgent. While I appreciate your message, it clogs up my inbox, and I have a hard time finding urgent messages regarding payment and things that aren't working properly.

I'm more likely to answer your question in public if you comment on my recent posts. That way, more people will see the answer, and if I'm not answering, many who know the answer will.

That said, here are some frequently asked questions and answers to them. I will add to this post when there are new questions.

Q: Can I use the Steam version with the Patreon patch?

A: No. They are two separate versions. You will need the base Patreon game to use the patch.

Q: Where do I download your games on Patreon?

A: Check the welcome message for all links. Alternatively, sort my posts using the tag "Release". The pinned post is always the latest update of Being a DIK.

Q: How often do you release updates?

A: When they are ready. I have no schedule. I work as hard and as fast as possible every day.

Q: Can I work for you/help you out with anything?

A: No, thank you. I'm not looking to hire staff and want to do everything alone.

Q: Can I beta-test for you?

A: No, thank you. I have a full team of trusted testers and am currently not looking for more.

Q: Can I translate the game for you into my language?

A: No, thank you. I'm not looking to hire or collaborate with translators. I tried that in the past, and it wasted too much time without anything to show for it.

Q: I didn't get a role when joining your discord server. How do I get one?

A: First, make sure that your discord account is connected here.  Disconnect and reconnect using that page if you are using another discord account. Early month, every month, the Discord bot has a lot of work to do. It can take 2-3 days for your role to register. Have patience during this time and try to reconnect if it didn't help.

Q: Are you going to make a sequel to Acting Lessons or work on more content for it?

A: It's not in any current plans or near-future ones. I'm not shutting the door to it, but I have other things on my plate I want to do before I even consider such a project.

Q: Are you planning to make merch for your games?

A: It's not in any current plans or near-future ones, and I'm not interested in offers to help me with this.

Q: Are Acting Lessons and Being a DIK connected?A: Acting Lessons and Being A DIK are separate games without any connection. Being A DIK was originally intended to be a prequel to Acting Lessons, but the idea was scrapped since it would force me to write the story in a certain way. You can still see common names and references in Being A DIK that were mentioned in Acting Lessons, i.e. DIKs, HOTs, Roy = Troy.
