We’ve pulled back a bit from the old style of progress updates and leaned more into entertainment, and deeper world building in our posts. The response to that shift has been incredible, so we’re going to keep pushing in that direction.

That said, we still want to keep you in the loop on what’s happening behind the scenes and what we’re actively working on.

Ren’Py Rebuild

At the start of this year, we had a small group of dedicated supporters go through a Windows version of our Android build with one simple mission: Find any image that immediately looks lower resolution.

It did not take long.

We started getting reports back quickly, and the good news is that it helped us identify exactly where the issues were. There was a point during SU’s development where SR7 changed resolutions, and that point became the hard cutoff for where the lower resolution images stopped appearing in the Android build as well.

Since then, Henshin has been working through those assets and replacing the low resolution images with high resolution versions.

We can’t give you a timeline just yet, but once that pass is complete, the last major piece will be adding the bordello content. After that, it’ll be ready to go.

Project Evo

SR7 has been spending more time writing lately, which is a very good sign.

Project Evo is easily the most complex thing we’ve ever built. Powers, choices, and branching player decisions all create a much wider range of outcomes and possibilities than anything we’ve tackled before. On top of that, the art quality is at a level beyond anything we’ve produced in the past. That combination means development takes longer, but it also means we’re building something with a lot more depth, replay value, and payoff. We know you’re excited for it, and trust us, so are we.

We want to get a game into your hands that feels worth the wait, and once you’re in, leaves you hungry for more.

Thanks again for all the support.

Good to hear that, hope everything goes well for you and the team. 👍

Keep up the good work guys! Definitely seems complex and I really do hope that lends to replay value. Was hoping for a timeframe but you can’t rush these things of course. Just be sure not to make us wait too much longer hehe :p

Gundam lupus

cant wait for both. keep up the good work.

hank east

wow the point about branching paths and player choice somehow got me more hyped than the teasers did. cant wait to see this come out

Joss Wheezer

Sounds great and all but it doesn’t really say how far along you’re into PE’s development, quite concerned about you guys handling two projects at once, I’d rather trust you on your actions and not words, so hopefully you guys work out something great.

I totally got faked out, lol. Previous builds of Project Evolution were all released Sunday night/Monday morning. I remember because of how little sleep I got before work on Monday. Oh well, glad for a bare bones update all the same. Also, holy crap has it really been 6 months? They said they only planned to work on the "first class" for a year and I thought that seemed short considering the project scope, and now I can't help but be worried. I do hope they choose quality and content (which seems like the case) over a hard time limit. Seems like its shaping up to be a really impressive game. They got my support either way.

John

so still no release date?

Klaus_Jager1

Is SU still getting updated?

Pensfan108

Yes. The next SU update will come after this PE build

John Doe

The bones tell me nothing.

Bumit

What happened to: when we get teasers we should have a “date”.

Pensfan108

I don’t believe they’ve ever said that flat-out lol. I could be wrong but I don’t think that was said verbatim

Bumit

Its was in the post, where they said they are gonna ditch the Bimonthly schedule.

Pensfan108

I'm not seeing it from a quick scroll but I'll take your word for it lol. Either way they did say one more teaser is left in the Patron chats so I gotta assume the date would come with that, but we'll have to wait and see I suppose

Bumit

Jan. 15. 2025 ,,This means when you see a teaser come out, a build is coming out with a "date". We will have the build in hand ready to deliver all tested and finalized." I don't even want/Need a date just a Time frame/slot. Just a clear statement how far the game is. Not words that actually mean nothing.

Pensfan108

You need to be at least a $5 patron and then the build should be linked in one of the posts to download. But we’re still waiting on the first true build, the only one available right now is V0.01 which is basically a beta test

Roodau

Yeah dude... don't expect punctuality from Gunsmoke Games. You'll be much happier that way.

John

bullshit bullshit bullsit

SPEEDJO WRLD

Honestly I'm feeling a little blind here, cause there's still no release date, but I guess they're still working on it

Pensfan108

They said in patron chats in Discord that unfortunately they had a setback with the development pipeline. But I'm hoping it should be ready this month still (that's my own speculation, nothing they said)

SPEEDJO WRLD

Well, so I guess we're in the same boat 😂

Joss Wheezer

Their project management leaves a lot to be desired, the mess they have over on PE and the still not delivered SU remake on Ren’py is quite concerning. Honestly this start of the year for the team has been disappointing, I’m left to wonder how many SU updates will we have this year?

Roodau

SR7 is kill?

Pensfan108

I'd still assume at least two SU updates until proven otherwise lol. They did pivot from PE to SU in pretty short order last October and still got the latest SU update out before the end of the year. They're not doing scheduled releases anymore and 3-4 updates per year isn't great but SR7 has expressed a desire to get back to roughly 2-3 months for each update, and I think they'll get there eventually once the remake is out

Joss Wheezer

I’ll believe it when I see it, I’d come to trust their actions more than their words. As they tend to over promise things.

SPEEDJO WRLD

Well, to be honest, you're not the only one who thinks that way

Bumit

yeah, they always talk big but the delivery kinda sucks. But SR7 is actually more reliable than Smokeshanks. But he also said he wants to get back at streaming. The last stream was like 2 or 3 years ago so...

ShadowWater

I know this is a late remark but a reminder that there are some of us that don't do livestreams and now don't bother with your posts since content updates are so infrequent and most posts now are promises of what's to come or fluff content to a game & world we may not get updates for more than twice a year...
