JOI Engine Devlog June 2026 (Patreon)
Content
Hi fluffies!
This month was my break month from JOI Engine. I didn't work much on it, but I spent the time thinking about where to take the project next. Thanks to your amazing feedback I know what you want, and I just wanted to lay out a proper plan!
The goal
When is the game considered finished? That's something I've been trying to answer for a while. My goal from the start was to create the Ultimate Furry JOI Experience — somewhere you can do whatever you want. Even make your own gamemodes in an easy interface.
The struggle is reaching that goal. Something that works for me won't work for everyone. One of the things I project onto the game is how I like to be called pup (no, I don't like the standard BDSM pup masks, but pet-play is close to heart for me) — while there are people who like to be called completely different things...
This is a very basic example but I think it's a detail that needs attention and really adds to the customisation side of the game.
Gamemodes
Is there enough gamemodes? No. I have more ideas than just Kuns Dice, and there's a solid pipeline to keep adding new ones. I'll be building more as time goes on and you have a lot to look forward to :3
These gamemodes, customisation & (if we're lucky) sex toy integration will all be part of the Patreon exclusive branch!
The only thing I need more of is time. I'm not going to go on about how university is taking most of it... chances are you know the struggle. The upside is that I'll be graduating next year!
What's coming next?
Free Release of the Exclusive Build!
You read that right. I want to release my game for free. You'll be able to play the current version of JOI Engine on the updated itch.io page, hopefully in the next couple of months!
Steam Page
A full Steam release is one of the long-term goals for JOI Engine — and yes, I mean it! The thought of someone 100%ing the achievements, or furry artists contributing to steam profile backgrounds, genuinely makes me excited. Not only would it be kind of funny but also kind of nice wag wag
The Steam Coming Soon page will go live alongside the JOI Engine 2.0 release — so you'll be able to wishlist early and help build the launch momentum. More details soon!
Adjust Patreon Tiers
I think it's fair to say there's a split between fans who are here for the videos, for the game, and for both. By no means am I doing this to take anything away from existing patrons! I'd simply love to have a better sense of what people are subscribing for — so I know where to put my hours.
€3 — Tempted · early access to videos, updates (dev-logs) & general support
€6 — Addicted · exclusive video access and polls
€10 — Collared · exclusive JOI Engine builds
€15 — Collared & Leashed · video & game access together
€20 — Blu Paw Member · everything above + your name in the game credits
Disclaimer: This is not the final version of pricing — this is just a draft!
Since SO MANY of you joined this month (thankies qwq), I'd really love your feedback. Does this make sense? Too cheap or expensive? What are you subbed for? What rewards would you love to see? I'll respond in the comments UwU (or Discord if you'd rather DM!)
SubscribeStar
For those who prefer an alternative to Patreon, I'm also setting up a SubscribeStar mirror with the same tiers. I'll be making an announcement post about it on my socials so be sure to follow me there ;3
Commissions
Some of you have probably noticed that there are a few posts here on patreon of videos that got commissioned by people and you can too UwU
To make things easier I made a ko-fi account where you can get a sense of how much one goes for and work with me on the next video.
To close this update — a huge thank you to all the new patrons who joined this month! We broke a record and it makes me so excited to keep working on furry projects.
