📢 Big Announcement (Patreon)

Hello everyone,

First, I want to sincerely thank all of you for the support you’ve given me. What started as a fun side project has grown into something much bigger than I ever expected. Because of you, I’ve been able to take real steps toward building a career in game development, and I genuinely appreciate every bit of support you’ve shown.

Getting to know all of you and seeing the communities you’ve formed has been an amazing experience. With that said, I want to share an important update.

🔹 Moving Forward

I’ve reached a point where I feel confident enough to begin developing a full game. Starting in two weeks, I’ll be shifting my focus to game development full-time.

Here’s what that means going forward:

🔹 Patreon Content

I will continue posting weekly videos as usual.

Content will remain ABL 3.0.

I’ll occasionally showcase progress from the game, but this will be Deluxe Tier only, since recording and editing takes a significant amount of time. I won’t be revealing too many of the non-gameplay features yet, mostly gameplay (basically girls boxing each other, which is what we all want) — I want most of the game to be a surprise.

Patreon support will help cover living expenses while I’m in development, especially since I’ll no longer be doing customs. Anyone who continues to support me during this time has my sincere thanks.

🔹 Custom Requests

I will accept custom submissions until February 7.

I’ll continue finishing all existing customs after that date.

If you submit a custom character close to the deadline, you’ll receive a grace period where I’ll continue making videos for your character (outside of the free one), since it was created recently.

After February 7, no new customs will be accepted.

🔹 Social Media Changes

Once the game is finished, I’ll be rebranding my YouTube channel to focus entirely on the game.

This means older videos will be removed, so save anything you want beforehand.

I’ll also be creating a new Twitter account for the game, as my current one can’t be rebranded.

🔹 Game Direction & Timeline

Game development takes time, and I’m still learning, so timelines may change. That said:

I’m aiming for Early Access or Version 1.0 by late summer, possibly around July.

The game will be an RPG focused on gameplay, not story.

The game will feature girls only.

Features will include:

Skill trees and progression

Customization

Multiple playstyles

Unlockable moves, cosmetics, and challenges

Themed regions (fantasy, city, etc.)

Multiple arenas and environments

There will be no heavy narrative, as I’m working solo, I don't have the resources to do story stuff.

🔹 Adult Content Clarification

The main game will NOT be adult as I'm targeting the general market.

There will be no topless or sexual content in the base release.

I will try to find a way to provide a patch on Patreon for topless. I'm sure some smart cookie will figure out how to change texture files or something.

🔹 Multiplayer & AI

There will be no online multiplayer.

Instead, I’ll focus on making AI opponents feel intelligent and realistic.

🔹 Demo & Testing

A public demo will be released a few weeks before launch, open to everyone.

An early alpha test will happen earlier in development to:

Test performance

Catch bugs

Gather gameplay feedback

Alpha access will be given to supporters who have contributed significantly through Patreon or customs. I haven't decided on a threshhold contribution amount yet, but anyone who has made a lot of custom orders or has been subbed on the higher tiers for a long time will be the ones who get to early test.I may also offer paid alpha access later for those who don’t meet the contribution threshold.

🔹 Custom Characters & Future Plans

Custom characters will not be included in the main game for obvious reasons.

After release, I plan to create a separate lightweight version (likely on DLsite) where:

Custom characters can be used if you decide to opt in your character

The experience is more sandbox-style

Adult options are available

RPG systems are reduced or removed

This version will be separate from the main game.

🔹 Final Notes

I know this is a lot of information, and I’m sure there will be questions. Feel free to ask if something needs clarification. That said, I want to keep most details under wraps until things are more finalized.

I also appreciate all the ideas and suggestions people have, but during development I won’t be taking outside design input. Feedback will be very welcome once testing begins.

Thank you again for all the support. It's gonna be a good one.- ABL

------------------------------Feb 5 2026 Update

Hello everyone!

I just want to make sure that I'm clear about when I'll be stopping customs.

Tiers

I will continue posting tier videos and shop videos every weekend and I thank you for your continued support while I develop.

Custom Videos

So today is the Feb 5, 9pm where I am. I will be closing down the custom forms at 11:59PM on the 7th. That gives you roughly 50 hours to submit your custom video forms. There has been a massive number of orders (to be expected) since I announced the ending of custom videos, so it'll take a while for me to get through everyone so I thank you for your patience.

Custom CharactersIt seems like custom character requests have come to a stop since a couple days ago, so I'm going to close that for now so I can focus sole on the videos. But I will be back to making custom characters again once the game is out for a while until I move on to something else. Starting now, you can still submit characters but I won't be working on them until after I finish my game. I will go in order so if you already know you want a character, feel free to submit.

Game stuff

I realized that on steam, you can have different branches of a game, so on an alternate version of the main game, I will develop a feature where you type in a code and you can play as your character. You can access alternate versions of a game through the game's properties:

The alternate branch will be the exact same as the main game, except it'll have this added feature. It won't be part of the main branch as I don't want to update the main game with only new custom characters and make players outside of Patreon update their game for no reason.The code will be unique and I will personally send that out to the owners and they can share their code with their friends or anyone they'll allow to use their OCs. So don't share the code with anyone you don't trust.There will be a one time fee for putting each character into the game, even if I've already made your character, as it will take a while to transfer all the properties of the models to be compatible with the game.

This is still all theoretical but from my understanding, this is likely the most reasonable way to handle custom characters for the upcoming game.

After the game is out, I will be closing down tiers on this Patreon as you will no longer need to pay to watch fights; just buy the game. This Patreon page will just be posts with information about adding custom characters and custom-related stuffies.

Like I mentioned before, I will be making some updates here for early alpha testing at some point, so keep your eyes peeled.

It's been a pleasure building a nice little community here with you all. You've all been kind, supportive, and passionate. Most importantly, you've given me the opportunity to try things that I never would have and I am very grateful for that. Thank you and I'll see you all again when I have something big to announce.-ABL
