Hi everyone!

We’re kicking off the year with a bang! Everything is back on track as I'm already fully recovered. I have big plans for this year, mostly focused on Steps of Debauchery. My goal is to make significant progress with the story by the end of the year so that we can move closer to its conclusion in 2026. I’m not sure how many updates will come out this year, but I’m aiming to create around 12,000 renders and a lot of animations in 2025.

On top of the main storyline, we’ve also got some additional content planned for SoD. I can’t share the details just yet, but you can expect something big!

I didn’t mention this earlier, but during the work on update 4.0 last year, we created three big extra scenes featuring the red-haired Riley. We’ll be adding these scenes one by one to future updates since they’re very spicy! Even though we just got back from vacation, most of the scripts for episode 4.1 are already done, and we’ve started working on new renders.

You might have also seen some news about recruitment - we’re actively looking for new artists to speed up the development of updates and to make bigger scenes possible. It’s not easy because we focus on quality over quantity, and finding experienced artists is really tough. But I’m doing my best to deliver the best product for you, no matter the cost.

So, what can you expect in the next update?
- A new scene with Riley and Jirina
- A bit of rivalry (or maybe teamwork) between Riley and Madison as Dean’s assistants
- A meeting with Richard
- Solving Wesley’s problems
- Progress in the marriage storyline
And a few other surprises - but I can’t spoil everything! We’re back at full speed now, and I’ll share the first progress update with you in about two weeks.

In the meantime, if you haven’t left a review yet, I’d really appreciate it! Your feedback means a lot to me and helps increase the game’s visibility, which also supports hiring new artists.
