HOROS - Magnifica news & patch notes

Finally! After some minor turbulence caused by demonic whispers, we’ve successfully configured the DLC on Steam and are releasing it today. Yes! You can now set sail for the island of SYLPHIR by purchasing the AURORA BOREALIS add-on on Steam.

For those who want to play on Steam but haven’t bought the base game yet, we’ve prepared a bundle that includes a discount on both the base game and the DLC.

On behalf of all the girls from the island, we have a small request: If you play the game on Steam and enjoy it, please take two minutes to leave us a review. It will greatly help us promote the game and reach a much wider audience.

We have some fantastic news to share: the game is nearly complete!

Release date: 19 June 2026 (next Friday)

Work on the expansion is progressing, and I must admit that I'm really proud of the result we're achieving. This is one of those projects that truly blossoms during development, and one where we've come a very long way in terms of the creative tools and techniques we've used.

• Rendering animations from several dozen images

• Completing the implementation of side quests

• Final implementation of the sex scenes

• Adding the endings

• Preparing the final version of the dialogue scenes

• Adding sound and optimization

• And, of course, tests, tests, tests, and fixes

If you like what we've presented today, please WISHLIST AURORA BOREALIS and help us promote the game.

We’re continuing our rendering journey, and today we’re excited to share a new set of visuals featuring three striking characters. Meet Dhalia, Onyxia, and Sanguira - each bringing her own distinct style and presence to the scene.

Dahlia is a graceful and elegant widow living in central Aerilon. After losing her husband years ago, she now rents her apartment in the city. She possesses a warm, gentle beauty with soft features, kind eyes, and a hidden sensuality that awakens when she feels desired. Lonely and touch-starved, she is deeply attracted to strong, confident men. Sweet, caring, and passionate.

Onyxia is a 200-year-old legendary demon hunter and exorcist. Once the most feared slayer of infernal beings, she retired to a lonely white tower on the Ashen Isle after realizing her growing brutality was turning her into the very monsters she hunted. Beautiful, dark-skinned, and radiating ancient power, she is wise, dangerous, and carries deep self-loathing. She collects demonic trophies and rarely accepts visitors.

Sanguira Vex is the eldest daughter of Baalorix Fleshreaver. A powerful, crimson-skinned demoness with black horns, she is wild, vulgar, extremely sexual and sadistic. Unpredictable, dangerous, and irresistibly alluring.

This week’s work focused on implementing sex scene systems. I established a structured format for character interactions, organized visual assets for tease phases and core animations, and completed two full scenes featuring Bibi and Celestia. Everything is functioning smoothly so far.

Next week, the plan is to finalize the remaining scenes and continue development of side quests.

Last week, we released HOROS MAGNIFICA, which was very well received by the players and we’re not stopping here because Horos always demands more, and he always gets what he wants.

Development is progressing very well, and we’re steadily gathering the resources needed to maintain a strong pace. The game is already playable, and I can push it to around 50% completion, but there is still plenty to be done. This includes implementing sex scenes, producing many more renders, adding new gameplay mechanics, integrating audio, optimizing performance, and more.

I’m genuinely proud of what we’ve achieved so far. This is shaping up to be the most visually striking title we’ve released to date. Combined with a fresh and intriguing story, new characters, and the classic Horos gameplay enhanced with new elements, it all comes together into something truly explosive.

Horos returns in a remastered edition - Magnifica!

The same story, now told more beautifully, with greater visual detail and brand-new animations.

Back in 2023, Horos was created in a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels, with animations ranging from 20 to 40 frames. That was enough… but Horos never settles for average. He always wants more. And he usually gets it. The gnomes from our workshop, led by Gruk, took this as a personal challenge and prepared a truly special version of his adventure for all Horos fans.

• resolution increased to 2560 × 1440 pixels, with about 50% more visual detail, plus more natural rendering of hair, human skin, and clothing materials

• new dialogue screens for all characters - the girls’ smiles and playful winks have never looked this good

• improved sex animations - now up to 160 frames, featuring natural body movement and emotions clearly visible on characters’ faces

• naughty climax animations - inside, on the face, on the breasts - wherever you desire

• battle animations for enemies boldly challenging you to a duel

• plenty of smaller animations that bring the game to life and make the world feel richer and more immersive

Additionally, we’ve expanded the storyline centered around the pirate captain Whitebones. On Mandy’s request, you’ll row to the beach of a small island, where the damaged ship Sea Viper lies anchored. Accompanied by sea shanties, you’ll board the vessel, defeat a crew of skeletons, and retrieve an artifact. Mandy will reward you for its recovery with a passionate encounter aboard the pirate ship.

NOTE: The game has been machine-translated into the following languages: Chinese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.

And the best part – this entire upgrade package comes as a free expansion.

I’m incredibly proud of how development is shaping up. The game has taken a big leap forward, and the overall experience now feels far more cinematic than before. Subtle animations bring each scene to life, adding movement, depth, and personality across the entire world.

On top of that, we’ve significantly improved the visual quality. Higher resolution assets and enhanced image detail give everything a richer, more immersive atmosphere. The difference is something you’ll notice immediately, whether it’s characters, environments, or lighting.

We’ve also prepared a special surprise for the new content. The long-awaited Captain Whitebones quest is finally here, reworked and presented the way this legendary skeletal captain truly deserves. Expect a more refined, memorable experience with him at the center.

This update is also a major expansion in terms of scale. The game has grown from around 4GB to nearly 12GB, reflecting all the new content, upgraded visuals, and technical improvements added along the way.

Additionally, new adult animations have been introduced, featuring much more advanced physics and fluid simulation. These systems bring a new level of realism and smoothness that significantly enhances the overall experience.

We’re also expanding language support to reach more players around the world. The game is planned to include the following translations:

• French

• Polish

• Italian

• German

• Spanish

• Russian

• Simplified Chinese

• Turkish

• Portuguese

Over the next week, I’ll be focusing on implementing translations, optimizations, and final beta testing to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible.

The release is planned for April 3rd. And just a quick reminder, this update will be completely free for everyone who has already welcomed HOROS into their Steam library.

Big News: HOROS is Getting a Stunning Upgrade! Introducing MAGNIFICA!

• Resolution leap from Full HD to 2K - Every scene, character, and environment has been upscaled with significantly more detail. Expect noticeably sharper and richer visuals, especially when it comes to character skins, intricate clothing materials, lifelike hair strands, and all the little details that bring the world to life.

• Fully re-rendered sex animations - We've gone back and completely re-animated all the intimate scenes with much smoother, more natural movement and greatly improved body physics for a more immersive and realistic experience.

• New animated enhancements - Say hello to dynamic, animated cumshots plus a bunch of fresh animated content: expressive portrait dialogues, flirty facial expressions from the girls, passionate kissing sequences, and other small but impactful moments that add even more life and heat to your encounters.

• Brand-new combat animations - Tailored specifically for our combat system, your enemies will now get to show off their aggression and fighting spirit in a much more vivid way. These new animations help build tension and make every battle feel more intense and personal.

• Interface refinements - A handful of small but meaningful tweaks to the UI to make navigation smoother and the overall experience cleaner.

• Fresh theme song - A brand-new track to set the perfect mood and give MAGNIFICA its own distinct atmosphere.

RELEASE DATE: I'll try to release it on STEAM next month. For STEAM players, all those changes are free - you don't need to buy anything to get access to those extra features, if you've already purchased the game.
