Hello everyone!
It has been some time since the release of v0.3.1 and, although there has been enough time for the release of v0.4, it has not yet occurred.
There's a reason for this: There was an unforeseen event during development that caused us to delay our development schedule. However, we make it clear to everyone: Development of this game continues active and a new version will be released as soon as possible.
Let's start by explaining some questions our players may have.
If development continues to be active, why hasn't any news about the game been published here in the meantime?
Until now, we had reserved progress reports showing the work being done only for another platform that we have designed to show this type of content. Initially, we had only reserved patch notes for updates actually released for Steam, but we realized that some players only find out about the progress of development work on Early Access games here, unaware of the existence of other platforms, so we decided to bring these progress reports to Steam as well to keep everyone informed.
We had not noticed this behavior before on the part of players, having even given us some negative feedback, so we apologize for our mistake.
What was the reason for the delay in the v0.4 release?
In the first moments right after the release of v0.3.1, we had planned to do voice acting for all the game's dialogue, using AI.
We liked the result, despite the limitations of the AI, and thought it could be improved, but we planned to finish all the dubbing work before moving on to developing new content.
In this sense, we even dubbed the initial part of the game and released some dubbing videos on our other platform, demonstrating the progress we had made.
Despite this, we received some negative feedback from our supporters, some saying that they preferred us to work on new content, others saying that the result of AI dubbing was not satisfactory, and we decided to open a poll to hear the opinion of all our supporters. Finally, supporters voted to abort the dubbing work and immediately begin development work on v0.4, bringing new content.
As we had to abort the dubbing work and start developing v0.4, this ended up causing a delay in our delivery schedule for the new update.
Here you can see two of the videos we created demonstrating the progress of the voice acting work we were doing, if you're curious.
Okay, so we know there was a delay, but what stage of development is version 0.4 in?
Well, let's start with the roadmap, showing what we have planned for v0.4.
Roadmap - Plans for v0.4
- Sex scene with Beatrice: Since at the end of v0.3 you had sex with a client, Beatrice thinks it's necessary to teach you how to eat pussy, since you won't always have Luna with you to do this. Therefore, she'll be in charge of teaching you how to do this.
- A small advance in Sakura's story.
- Sakura solo sex scene: If you meet the necessary conditions that the game will show you, you'll unlock a new scene of Sakura masturbating. This scene will be an extra, something like a secondary quest.
- Development of Julia’s story (Pole Dance Instructor).
- Pole Dance Scene with Julia: As this episode unfolds, Julia will perform a Pole Dance session in the middle of the bar, on the catwalk.
- Sex scene with Julia: At the end of this episode, you'll hear a little more about Julia's story and discover that she decided to become one of the brothel girls too, not just limiting herself to Pole Dancing. After that, she'll have sex with you as a training session, just like you did with Luna and Veronika.
Well, this is what we have planned for v0.4, just a summary of course.
Perhaps we'll deliver this content divided into two updates (v0.4.0 and v0.4.1), but this will depend on how much time we have left, as we feel it's necessary to deliver updates at a certain frequency to you.
Main Character's New Outfit
As usual, the first step in developing a new update is to define the main character's new outfit and render the images that change according to his outfit.
So we brought some images of the main character in different scenes wearing the new clothes.
Beatrice's New Outfit
Unlike the previous days, Beatrice will engage in a sex scene with the main character at the beginning of episode 4.
In these preview images, we show some renders that make up the dialogue that precedes this scene.
She has a TV remote in her hand and is talking to you. What will be the context that will unfold for her to start a sex scene with the MC? For now, we'll keep this a surprise.
First Peek at Beatrice's Sex Scene
As always, we like to start creating the sex scenes with the animations, which are the most time-consuming and laborious part at first.
After creating good animations and seeing a satisfactory result regarding what was planned for the scene, it becomes easier to create the rest of the scene, such as the static images and dialogues that make up the scene.
That said, we're almost finished creating all the animations that'll make up Beatrice's sex scene.
At the moment, we have finished rendering all of them, but some animations still need some touch-ups, which we have to do manually using an image editor.
For now, we bring 3 of these animations as previews so you can get an idea of what the result is going to look like.
As soon as the other animations are finished, we'll bring them here so you can view them too.

Extra: Julia dancing Staying Alive
As part of our studies on the physics of certain parts of the female body, such as breasts and butt, we created an animation of Julia dancing Staying Alive on the catwalk in the middle of the bar.
This small animation will be added to the game's gallery as extra unlockable content.
For now, that's all
We had a lot of content to show you from updates about the game's development that we had posted on the other platform, so this post was long, but we hope we clarified some questions and kept you informed about our work.
Starting today, we'll also bring the next updates here, so you can follow the development of this project and, if you want, share your opinion with us about what we can improve or what you would like to see in this game.
Cheers! 🍻
