Is Season 2 supposed to download and be installed before you finish season 1?

[Andrew.144]

I have not finished Season 1, but I can't see Season 2 anywhere. The store page tells me I've purchased it and that it's in my library. But it's not in my list of games, whereas every other multi-episode VN that I own shows every chapter/season, regardless of how far you've progressed. When I select the 'DLC' menu option from within the game, it shows Being a ♥♥♥ intalled, the guide for season 1 (which I also bought) as being installed, and Acting Lessons as being in my library. It doesn't show Season 2, and doesn't show the Season 2 guide.

I've killed the Steam process and rebooted, and I've even rebooted my computer, but the behavior doesn't change.

Is this buggy behavior that I need to troubleshoot, or does it only install season 2 if you've completed season 1? If the latter, it seems like unnecessary effort and unnecessary potential failure points to add a gating factor to installation; not to mention that someone might want to download season 2 while they're on a fast internet connection, before, say, taking a trip somewhere with spotty internet service.

First things first, Season 1 contains chapters 1-4, whereas Season 2 is 5-8. If you brought both seasons, then after you finnish chapter 4, it will automatically start season 2, chapter 5; the game (season 2) won't show in your library , but if you go to Being a ♥♥♥ game "proprieties" on Steam and then select "additional content", you will see its there.

As for the guide, it's only one guide for both seasons, so it will only show the season 1 guide, but in there also contains the guide for season 2.

Another thing before you ask here in the forum, is that Season 3 will only be on Steam somewhere between 2026-2030 - the developer takes exactly a year to make 1 espisode/chapter and Steam only accepts full season - after you finnish Seasons 1-2 and still wants to play Season 3 before it comes to Steam, then you shoould go to DPC's Patreon, any tier above $10 should give you access to Season 3 download link.

S1 and S2 are a now a single download, you simply continue playing after Ep 4 (end of S1) and the game starts Ep 5 (Season 2) straight away, you will not notice the transition between S1 and S2.

It doesn't take "exactly a year", generally 10-11 months per episode, but the episodes take however long they will take. Now, this isn't specific to season 3, but consider how the first two seasons went: There is an entire SEASON, and there is a clear planning for the season, then you have each episode, which comes with its own start and end, as well as the core storyline elements that will happen, no matter what choices you have. Then there is the writing, the animations, free roam stuff, the music, and the writing. Some elements will carry through for a long time, some of the mini-games for example, so things done early in the season and then get re-used come in handy(and a big part of writing code is trying to make code that can be reused and not re-written every instance to save time later).

I know that some things just take TIME, and being in the dark makes it feel that much worse, but that is why I've suggested that people who want to know the development status go in for the $1/month Patreon for the news updates. The $10/month plan will let you download Season 3(Interlude+episodes 9 and 10), $15/month plan lets you download the guide, $25 will let you also download the Patreon version of Seasons 1 and 2.

I didn't want to wait longer, so went Patreon after episode 9 came out on Patreon, and it was well worth it.
