Dev update #183

Added 2025-08-01 06:36:38 +0000 UTC

Hi!
With Episode 7.1 behind us, Season 2 is now officially wrapped up.

I’ll be honest—the release wasn’t particularly successful. In fact, it was the least profitable launch I’ve had in over a year. Most likely because the build was leaked shortly after release. But that’s behind me now. I’m fully focused on the next step: the Steam release.

All achievements, extra render rewards, and related features are already coded and working. However, due to recent (and unfortunately successful) censorship efforts by payment processors on Steam, I requested an additional content review for Season 2—just to be safe. It’s been a week since I submitted it, and I haven’t heard back yet. Normally, reviews take a few business days, but with the stricter rules lately, delays are expected.

Am I worried? I’m doing my best not to be. The game is still fairly vanilla overall. And even if one scene ends up being too much, I can easily rewrite or remove it without affecting the story at all. That flexibility is always a good thing to have.

I was hoping to wait and post this update after the build got accepted on Steam, but no such luck yet. I’ll post again as soon as I get the green light. Hopefully that happens soon, so I can begin reaching out to Steam Curators and build momentum through wishlists.

As for Season 3 (Episodes 8.1 – 9.2), planning is already underway. I have a rough draft of the full season, and now I’m working on filling in the details to make sure everything ties together and, most importantly, ends in a satisfying way.

Thanks, as always, for your continued support.

Take care!
