[Progress report] The plan for 2026 (Patreon)

Summary

Next update coming soon: New hair & Tan lines!

2026 roadmap (kinda)

Happy new year everyone! (February is still early enough in the year 👀)

Sorry for the delay, health issues made it hard to pull out the next update on time, but it should be there in a few weeks with even more options in the character editor!

New hair system

There will be a length slider for every hair style. You won't be locked to 2 or 3 sizes only.

You'll get to choose how wavy or not the hair can be, with a lot of parameters to play with.

The tip of the hair can have a different color, giving a nice gradient if you want it to!

More hair styles will be added!

Tan lines

You'll get to combine different tan lines patterns to tan your character!

Each pattern can be blurred or faded individually.

The patterns matches the clothing items, so the more clothes I add, the more tan options you'll get!

What's next?

⚠️ I'm bad at time estimates, or previsions in general.Initially, I wanted to make a dumb 2 months project and move on. The first demo took 6, and we're now 2 years into development 🙃

(To be fair, the scope of the game has exploded since 2024)

The goal is to finish the game this year!

I've been doing a lot of planning last month:

I've known how the game ends since the beginning, but not the intermediate steps

The story will be short (it's not really the main appeal of the game anyway)

The game world is halfway done. There's ~3 main areas for now, and another 3 are planned

Here's stuff you can expect before the full release (no specific order)

I'll revise the narration style a bit for a more "show, don't tell" approach

I'll break down the longer info dumps in shorter, optional dialogues spread out everywhere

Earlier events will be rearranged a bit

Gameplay improvements

I have ideas on how to expand exhibition sequences to the whole city, and not just a small confined area

Flesh out the video recording

A high risk / high reward "zoom" action: It gives a new expensive tag, but you can't see your surroundings anymore while it's active

Increased police patrols in areas you're using often, so you don't stick to easier spots all the time

Level updates

I need to fill them with more NPCs and places to hide to accommodate for the exhib plans.

More levels will be added as the story progresses.

Audio

I'll probably dedicate a full update to that area alone. It's long overdue.

Moans, ambient sounds, music, it's planned!

More content in general

It's not easy, but I try to add at least one new position with each updates

Tan lines and the new hair system are coming in February

More clothing, hairstyles, and customization options are planned

Thank you for your support!

Back in November, I had really bad neck pain that extended all the way to my wrists. I pushed through to release the December update, but then I had to rest. The pain would sometime wake me up at night and I wasn't able to do anything.

It's getting better though! Thank you for you patience and ongoing support! ❤️

Cheers!
