Hi friends!
It’s been a while, and we’ve made some new renders, so here’s a little update on how things are going. Everything is on track – see you again next month, hehe.
But seriously, let’s start with a progress update:
The scripts are written, the text part is 100% done, coding and testing are going smoothly, and the graphics - the most time-consuming part – are about halfway finished. As I mentioned before, we’re not only working on Episode 5.0, but also on a new DLC that will be released later this year.
It’s still a bit too early to share details about the DLC – what it’s about, how far we are, or when exactly it’s coming – but you’ll find out soon. I often get questions about why we’re focusing on DLC when the main game isn’t finished yet. The answer is simple: it’s not about “grabbing money” (though extra funds always help), but about wanting to work on something fresh. After spending so much time on Steps of Debauchery and Riley’s main story, I started feeling a bit burned out. I almost took a long break, but instead I decided to work on a different Riley story. This DLC is fun, lighthearted, and very naughty – making it has been a joy for me, and I think you’ll enjoy it just as much. So no more burnout – I’m more motivated than ever.
Back to Episode 5.0 – it could be ready earlier than November, but since we’re focusing on the DLC now, we want to keep everything stress-free and smooth. So the official release date for Episode 5.0 is early November (exact day to be announced next month). If things go well, we’ll move straight to creating Episode 5.1, which should make the next updates come out faster.
Honestly, I’ve looked at the new renders so much that I sometimes feel like the episode is already released – but nope, it’s just the upcoming update :D
Before I go, please add Exploring the Big Apple to your wishlist – it’s coming next month!
And instead of the usual teasers, I’ve got a little game for you: here are 4 renders of Riley’s butt. One is from the new DLC, one is bonus content, and two are from the upcoming update. Can you guess which is which? Let me know in the comments!
Ain't that a great view?
