Hi everyone! It's been a while, so it's time for another progress update. As you can see in the image above, we have finished writing all the scripts and making the final text changes.

addedAs you can see in the image above, we have finished writing all the scripts and making the final text changes. This means the new scenes will soon be sent to our translators so they have enough time to prepare all language versions for the release. We have also made good progress with renders and animations.
addedWe have finished creating all the renders for the side content coming in the next update, including the final pole dance level and the new bar customer interactions. These interactions are much bigger than we originally planned and required over 700 renders and many animations. Besides that, we have already completed around half of the main scenes we want to add.
addedBesides everything I already mentioned, we're starting to create scenes that depend on the path you've chosen, so having multiple save files will become much more useful. You'll get several new school scenes, not all of them related to Dean Scott. Riley will finally get her chance to work as a model, and we also hope to partially expand the swingers part of the bar. I won't reveal anything else for now - we still have a little more time before release, so I will keep some of the secrets :)
addedThat's all for today. As always, I'll leave you with a few new renders, and don't forget that SoD and both DLCs are currently part of the Steam Summer Sale. If you don't own the game yet, now is the perfect time to grab it!

Hi everyone!

It's been a while, so it's time for another progress update.

As you can see in the image above, we have finished writing all the scripts and making the final text changes. This means the new scenes will soon be sent to our translators so they have enough time to prepare all language versions for the release. We have also made good progress with renders and animations.

We have finished creating all the renders for the side content coming in the next update, including the final pole dance level and the new bar customer interactions. These interactions are much bigger than we originally planned and required over 700 renders and many animations. Besides that, we have already completed around half of the main scenes we want to add.

I won't repeat everything from the previous posts, but if you want to know more about what's happening behind the scenes, you can find more details in our earlier Patreon updates.

Last time I shared some information about the possible game endings. Now I can finally confirm that, after update 5.2, there will be only four more updates until the full release: 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, and 7.0. These updates will be much bigger than the previous ones, so they will probably take more time to develop. Our goal is still to release the full game by the end of next year. We won't rush or cut any content, but we're doing everything we can to stay on schedule. We're also still actively looking for another artist, which takes quite a bit of time, but I believe it will pay off in the end.

So, what can you expect in the next update?

Besides everything I already mentioned, we're starting to create scenes that depend on the path you've chosen, so having multiple save files will become much more useful. You'll get several new school scenes, not all of them related to Dean Scott. Riley will finally get her chance to work as a model, and we also hope to partially expand the swingers part of the bar. I won't reveal anything else for now - we still have a little more time before release, so I will keep some of the secrets :)

I still can't give you an official release date, so you'll have to be a little more patient. Right now, I think the update will be released around late August or early September. If we decide to release it in September, it will only be because we're also working on scenes that will be shared between updates 5.2 and 6.0. One thing I can promise is that, starting with this update, everyone should find something they enjoy in SoD.

That's all for today. As always, I'll leave you with a few new renders, and don't forget that SoD and both DLCs are currently part of the Steam Summer Sale. If you don't own the game yet, now is the perfect time to grab it!
