Howdy! Here’s what’s up:
I finished layering the Chief Officer events and Moana is busy coding in all our new pictures. So, the next update is going to be all about the Chief.
The teaser shows the transformation options that aren’t yet available in the game, and that’s what I wanted to talk about today.
All 4 Chief events combined used to have 68 pics, and at the moment they have 314 pics, but I’m still missing a couple of minor things so this number might grow a bit.
In a nutshell - it’s just a lot of work, it’s neither easy nor fast to create events with all of Kira’s transformation options. So, the next version of the game will have all 4 of chief events updated and some new dialogue references to Kira's choices/stats and it will be the final update for this year.
Now, a bit more in detail about everything:
314 pictures. This event alone has more art than some H-games and I’d like to explain how this process works and why we do this.
First I draw the “base” event and this ranges from two days to a week, then the real work begins - layers.
Despite most of them being identical (but coming in different sizes), I still have to either draw or edit every single one of them and, more often than not, I have to edit them again and again with each new layer - to make sure that everything fits.
Then I write a guide on layers/logic and Moana does her best to code all that art the way I envisioned, all pictures are equally complex in the eyes of the code.
Because of that, it just takes a lot of time to do what we do, but it is both what we promised and what we want.
This event is not an outlier. We are doing our best to properly layer everything, and most of our content is already ready for those transformations.
The destination is as important as the journey - We want you to be able to continue playing the game once you’ll reach the desired result.
Dumb, slutty, smart, big breasts, small ones, pregnant or not - it’s all optional and up to you. Everything will be shown in events, all outfits will be supported, you will be able to finish the game regardless of how far Kira has fallen and we’ll do our best to make the “transformed” gameplay as fun as the road to it. We already promised that, and we stand by our word.
It just takes time.
For example, this event has 4 sets of breasts (normal, preg, being touched, touch preg) and there’s 7 breast sizes that are shown in events. So it’s 28 pics just for breasts. Then you add in everything else - writings, piercings, tats, cum, milk, toys, outfits, hair, hands. And it all has to work with each other, the parts have to fit regardless of whatever combination is present. That’s how you end up with over 300 pics.
It’s like solving a puzzle, where you also 3d print each individual piece and alter their shape when something doesn’t fit. Easy, but really time-consuming.
Anyways, I hope this manages to convey that this isn’t as simple as it may seem. And that you don’t yet see all the art that there is - we’re building stuff for the future with each new update.
On top of that, slowly, but steadily, we’ve been getting rid of our technical debt - layering and altering older content for “endgame”, and with the upcoming update we will take a huge step towards paying it all - four events will become “Debt-free”. Soon there will be no debt, and we will be able to focus on just the new content.
This brings me to the “main” update, which has been in the works for a while now.
I’m not going to lie, our “fast” updates have taken a solid chunk of our dev-time and there is unfortunately no way for me to finish layering the pole events in time for the new year.
The pole event still requires a ton of art and, based on the experience, I think I’ll need at least two months to finish it - this time frame doesn’t work for us, we want to release content faster. So, we’ve decided to release a different update at the start of the next year.
The first update next year will be focused on things you voted for in the last three “fast content” polls.
This is the “max” plan. We’ll do our best to implement as much as we can from this list, but it will all depend on the time. After all, the major update should be our priority.
But I can promise one thing - We will add more harassment events and more sleep events.
We really liked working on fast updates. It felt both engaging and rewarding to work on something you all picked. So I think it would be fitting if the update was focused on all that you picked so far.
This particular update won’t need any new layers, so it should buy us more time to finish layering the pole event in peace.
Oh, and don’t get me wrong, we’re not just doing it to “buy time”, the game needs this content - we’re just changing the release order to ensure a steady flow of updates.
On a more personal note, my latest bulletproof plan conveniently named as “renting an office space to increase productivity and walking there on foot to evolve into a marsupial” is not as bulletproof as I thought, it has one minor weakness - ice.
The winter is here and while it’s not raging at its full power yet, there’s been a day or two where our streets were rather slippery, to put it lightly. This normally wouldn't be a problem, but I’m carrying a laptop (in a backpack, until the pouch kicks in), and I really don’t want to break it. That said, I believe I have a solution to this!
But first, I wanna share a fun fact a man who introduced himself as “the doctor” unpromptedly told me at a random gas station.
Apparently there’s a thing called “ladie’s fracture”, which is really common during winter. You see, when the ladies fall - they prefer to extend their arms to soften the fall, which often leads to their arms being broken or fractured. The dudes, however, prefer to meet the ground “head on”, as if to say, “Fuck you, ground! My face is gonna mess you up!” - this strategy surprisingly results in less injuries.
So, I’ve devised another cunning and sophisticated plan - I’m gonna fall on my face from now on. The flesh shall heal, the technology that contains a LOT of valuable boob images must be protected at all costs!
In all seriousness though, I am rather happy with the progress we’ve been making recently thanks to the office space - I feel faster both physically and creatively. The Marsupial plan works!
In conclusion, we’re altering the release schedule because the pole event still requires too much art and text.
The huge chunk of work is now behind us, so the Chief update will be available sometime this month and then we’ll start the new year with another update before finally releasing the major update.
All in all, things are going fine, and while I would prefer to release the pole update this year, I’m still happy with the pace of development increasing. All thanks to you and your continuous support!
So, thank you all again for your patience and support! The end is near!

A man can dream.

It would be nice if she had fetish-related footwear, such as heels with padlocks.
Fresh Mulan
Oh, it's - 7, 9, Fake1, Fake2 and 5/Preg in that order.
EngelsPringles
Was just scrolling by and looking at the picture again, is the size on the far left 5 or 7? It seems too massive to be 5, but also smaller than 9 to possibly not be 7.
Mahnaemisjeff
Yeah the important stuff must be implemented first of course.
Fresh Mulan
Thanks! The heels are tied to the outfits - black ones for “New You Uniform” and pink ones for “Shirt&Skirt”, at least for now.
Fresh Mulan
Maybe? We did want to add footwear to Kira’s wardrobe, but it isn’t a priority. For now, scenes where Kira has outfits will just show corresponding footwear.

i love the images of the chef were already sexy at the beginning but with the new images it will become even better ! <3 i do not hide my excitement and the hype when i see this and the other kinks and updates arriving. you really do a very good job you two !! <3 i can't wait to see the release and i can play what you worked so hard for <3
Mahnaemisjeff
Take it easy okay? And there's going to be a footwear too?
EngelsPringles
Glad to see these updates, getting the old events done so that you can work on the new is something I have waited on for a long time. The art looks excellent as well, I like all of the hairstyles. That entire rant felt like a Tolstoy rant tbh, but glad you're thinking about your health lol. Good luck with the ice, the final update of this year, and the updates to start next year! Edit: Oh also, forgot to ask, are the pink heels for bimbo and black heels for slut path?
