Hello,

Steam will no longer allow any adult games into early access. This sucks. I'm forced to now do DLC episodes. It's not the most ideal route, Having a separate store page is great for visibility. So I'll be working on getting chapter 5 up ASAP. Along with that a full guide for chapter 1-5 will be available and the guide will update with each chapter release. We will see what happens with Steam policy moving forward. I'll announce the release date once I get everything sorted.

Stay safe out there.

Hello! Good progress being made. I now have a separate render rig. This helps with output significantly, it also makes my power company happy. Book 2 steam page will be out this month, start banking those wish lists. A December release is planned. Book 2 will release into EA with chapter 5 and 6.

I also will have a full guide available as well. Been chipping away at it everyday. I also joined a writing class to help boost my skills in that department and working on learning more animation theory and blender. Building skills and continuing production can be overwhelming at times. Not enough hours in a day.

Hope you're all doing well, -Meat Shield

Hello everyone! Chapter six is in the works. This week I purchased my second render rig finally and will have that up and running! Will be cool to see how much quicker i can render now that I can render and pose at the same time. Book two I'll have a guide for both books as well. One mistake I made in book one was I didn't branch it as much as i should've. I was using an introductory and wanted to give players all the info and backgrounds on characters and story. Book two has a ton more branching. I'll have book twos store page for wish lists up by the end of August. Start collecting those wish lists. I hope to release late this year or early next. It will include chapter five and six with the chapter 7 and 8 to release after. Hope you all are doing well! Back to the grind!

Hello everyone! Chapter five is nearly complete. Basically just waiting for everything to render out. I have a second render box to eb assembled that will also help boost productivity, as I will be able to render and work at the same time. Prologue through chapter 2 was 3028 renders. Chapter 5 is 3057 renders in itself. I have decided to release book 2 into early access, after the completion of chapter 6. Once released it will be just long as book one with chapter 7 and 8 being even bigger. This is a product of all the pathing. This will also allow me to be truly fulltime with the project and I can quit my part time job and have my focus 100 percent on the project. I get some really dislike EA games, I get it. I've been burned too. So I completely understand those who will wait till completion to purchase. Thank you everyone, it's been surreal to see a lot of people enjoy this project. My story driven AVN is a niche in a niche and the response to it has made me more motivated to deliver. Stay Safe, keep fit and eat pizza! - Meat Shield

Hello! Just an announcement on progress and road map for book 2. In the process of wrapping up chapter 5, with some work on chapter 6 done as well. Small little road map plans. Chapter 6 will also be completed this year and work on chapter 7 have been started. In 2026 I will be wrapping up 7 and completing 8 and will be released to Steam late in 2026 or early 2027. Chapters are now much larger( average book one render length was about 1500) 3000 plus renders per chapter and chapter 8 likely will be bigger. This is the largest time gate. Renders take 1-2 hours to cook per render. Animations can take 5-12 hours. I'm trying to move animation work over to Blender, better tools and faster render times are offered with the program. Though its a large learning curve. Book Two will have a lot of pathing, I think my biggest mistake of book one was not pathing enough. I used it as a big introduction to everything and got lost in the sauce. I will also release a chapter 1 and 2 guide shortly after book 2 release. Some other large time sinks in development is curating music. I put a lot of effort into making the sound scape fit and have its way of bringing the scenes to life. Assets hunting and environment building/kitbashing is also time consuming but also a nice way to add those little details that breath life into the game. Adult content really picks up in book to as well. ( Chapter 5 has as many lewds and book one) Now that characters have established a relationships -- things may start getting spicy. Hope everyone is doing well, thank you for your support of the game. It's surreal that so many people have enjoyed this story I'm telling. -Meat Shield

Launch the game to get the achievements awarded. Will give them retroactively. A free wallpaper DLC to follow.
