Ahoy! It's been a long time in development and we apologize for the delay, but were ready to give you a huge update regarding Girls Overboard's progress!
Our team has been working extremely hard and we have tons of information to share about the current game status and our projected release window!
The following post contains information for all fans of Girls Overboard so please read the post in full!
Writing & Programming Departments
We are happy to report our creator/writer, Dinmoney has completed the story scripts for all seven characters included at launch, and they have all been proofread by our editor, Ronove. Not only that, but we have already written and reviewed the first four DLC character scripts (post-release)!
Regarding the coding side of development, our programmer, BamBam has finished all the primary dating and gameplay systems and are entering the final phase of testing. The only things left are finalizing the SFW / NSFW versions to comply with the Steam review process. Once approved by Steam we can finish the in-app purchase system!
Voice Acting & Audio Departments
Thanks to our talented voice cast we are pleased to report all the voice acting work is completely finished! We'd also like to thank our casting department and audio team, Jesika, for finding such a wonderful voice cast and balancing all the audio files.
Art Department
Our art team has been working hard to make Girls Overboard jam-packed with beautiful animated artwork! At launch, there will be 30 animated Scene Images (CGs), and over 140 different outfits to choose from. We also already have additional girls planned as DLC coming post-launch!
*Due to Steam's policy on nudity, we cannot show the full extent of animated story scenes. However, you can get an idea of the art quality!*
All the in-game artwork is completed! Each story scene will reflect the relationship status and escalate towards a climax (literally and figuratively). We are just putting User Interface at 90% because we may add visual effects, resize or tweak some menus based on final testing.
We have tons of different outfits that will not only give a variety of appearances to your favorite girls but depending on their rarity will also give you a stamina regeneration bonus. Five Star outfits will be 18+ and only available in the Wet 'n' Wild DLC patch of Girls Overboard!
There are already several girls lined up to join the datable roster of Girls Overboard as post-launch DLC. Some are native to Kawaii while some are familiar faces from far-off places!
Release Window
Girls Overboard development has taken longer than we originally planned, but the main reason for that was the decision to completely revamp the core gameplay into a Match-3 game. This was a decision we hope you will understand as it has made Girls Overboard more enjoyable to play. If you played the first demo, we're sure you will agree!
After careful consideration of the amount of work left to do, we have decided on a release date window of April 5th - April 15th, 2022. This will give us enough time to finalize the remaining tasks and pass the Steam review process.
We will be releasing another update between March 14th - March 18th, 2022 that will include a new trailer, and the exact release date.
Game Information and Pricing
At launch, Girls Overboard will be available only on Steam for PC.
After release, we will work on making GO available via our website and other platforms. As well as localization/translations and a Mac version if possible.
The SFW version of Girls Overboard will be FREE to play. The 18+ Wet 'n' Wild version will be available as a DLC patch for only $1.99.
Closing Note
We hope that everyone is excited for their Kawaii vacation and we ask for your patience just a little longer as we finish development. Thank you for supporting a new studio like us. We look forward to sharing a bright future of games with you and we'll be back with another update next week!
