Howdy! Here’s what’s up:
We worked on the next major update, in particular on adding more references to the existing events. I think we’re done with this part of the update, the existing pole events ended up tripling in size and I believe they now take into account every possible version of Kira. They’re still the same lengths (roughly), you’ll just see the text that represents your version of Kira better.
Then we switched to work on another “fast” update, because it would be nice to have something ready to be published while we’re working on the major one. In the next fast update we will introduce layered Chief Officer events and we’re currently busy layering them.
In terms of dates and time, I can’t give you anything concrete yet, but I think we’re getting faster now that we have an office space.
Option 8 (redo one older event) won with 37 votes, the second place goes to Option 1 (Vivarium bj event) with 34 votes.
I’m also including the SubscribeStar votes here, which ain't much (yet) since only half of our subscribers voted and we have 2 of them :) But every vote counts and any amount of support is appreciated, it’s marked by the orange line, while the red line indicates the 10$ votes.
All in all, the results didn’t change with the 10$ votes and with the SubscribeStar votes, but it was a close one.
Okay, that’s enough of the technical stuff, let’s talk about the winning option itself:
We picked to work on the Chief Officer H-event, or rather eventS, since they all share the same “base” pictures and make the effort we’re putting into this much more impactful for the game overall.
Above is a comparison of the older/newer versions, and I’d like to point out that I didn’t change Kira’s face again, I just reshaded it and pretty much painted over it while maintaining the same linework and shapes.
The art will be completely layered with all implemented and planned physical changes (more extreme breast sizes, pregnancy, etc.), so far I finished layering background, foreground and her head completely, but I’m still working on her breasts, outfits and hands. So I’d say this is ~50% done.
I’d also like to add more references to Kira’s stats and appearance in the text, but in those H-events she barely talks so it probably won’t be that noticeable.
That’s the whole plan for the upcoming “fast” update.
Now, I of course had other ideas while working on this, but this time I managed to suppress my urge and me and Moana decided to implement those ideas later.
The first idea is to expand existing events with the Chief Officer.
We want to make them repeatable - “reconditioning” for cases where Kira loses a fetish and wants to get it back or just for fun. And to add some unique “therapy” style references to his dialogue.
The thing about references to Kira’s appearance is that she can already look extremely outrageous and we’ve got to be mindful of what stuff the npc’s reference or it all could devolve into them just listing what Kira has on her body. So, I want them to react differently.
In the case of the Chief Officer, I want to create a new dialogue choice that will always be present when you talk to him, called “My appearance”. Here the game would check what Kira has on her body and provide you an option to talk about each individual thing separately.
The second idea is to make alternative events for a “Dead Chief” path.
They would feature the same art, the text would be similar, but Olga will be the Chief Officer. I’d also like to include her art in the event - that, and her harsher approach to therapy, would be the most noticeable differences between her and her predecessor's events.
Which is why we’re adding two more options to the “fast content poll” roster of events - “Alternative Chief Olga H-events” and “Expand Chief Officer content”.
We’ll start the next content poll once the fast update will be out, just like we did with the last two of them.
I’m not 100% sure which update we’ll release next, but the current plan is to release both fast and major updates this year and to start the next year “fresh” with brand new content (Moana’s quest), fetishes/stats overhaul and the continuation of the Vivarium arc. I’d be really happy if we’ll manage to do this and we believe that we can.
That’s all I wanted to say today, thank you all for your patience and support! The end is near!

Yeah it seems it'll be hopefully reworked as well.
Lokfun1995
can't wait for continuation of vivarium arc... I know it's still a way off, but dang, I want a conclusion to mother and the farm mind fuckery... preferably one that can end badly.
Mahnaemisjeff
Never say never
Fresh Mulan
Thank you and welcome! Finishing it in a year would be great and we’ll do our best, but it’s a very optimistic timeframe:)
Mahnaemisjeff
Fingers crossed
DarkLEaf
Just subscribed! Very glad that updates are getting more frequent. Hope to see this game completed maybe in a year. You are so talented!
GMP
great!! thanks for clarifying and keep up the good work
Fresh Mulan
Thanks! She won’t be completely naked in those events, I just drew her this way in case I’ll need this art in the future. So she’ll always wear heels in chief events (like she is now).
GMP
this is awesome. is there a way to keep the heels on in the new version? I personally prefer those over barefoot almost anytime
Mahnaemisjeff
Oh mama, Olga,knowing how previous overhauls look like, she may look like hottest NPC in the game. Oh my ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
Emerald Fatalis
I understand Wladi wanting new Kira art, but I'm excited to hear about new Olga art (my fav NPC)!
Mahnaemisjeff
Can't wait for final Kira, no matter what detractors or overweight geckos may say.
Jakov
Aa yeah sorry got confused, thanks man 🙏
Fresh Mulan
Oh, you’ve probably seen his events. He’s the doctor from the intro and his events are available from the very beginning (from day 2). Just enter the hospital and go to the right.
Jakov
Hi just wondering i played around 10hours of the game and belived i saw everything but I dont remember the chief officer so im just wondering how do you get to him?
SpartaKus
glad to see that the project manager is still there to give us good news !! I can't wait to see the rest and you can always count on my support until the end of the game at 100%. keep up your work and don't let the haters get you down! tell yourself that they'll change their minds when they see the great work you've done. but don't forget to rest too ^^ you're not a machine either!! courage for the rest comrade general
Fresh Mulan
Oh, well, that’s the hardest part - layering. All newer events (except for the prison pole) are layered, they support all art (bimbos, cows, existing and future transformations). It really is the main reason why everything takes so much time, every event has to have hundreds of pictures in order to show everything. That said, our goal is to have all events layered, so that you could see any Kira you want whenever you want, it’s just not an easy task to accomplish. The next “fast” update will have older Chief Officer events layered and the next “major” update will have the pole events layered. So we’re getting there, slowly, but steadily:)
Mahnaemisjeff
Damn I like this new approach already, Godpseed fellas
Wladi
Hey, thanks for answering :) but also talking about all the scenes, why aren't they updated? for slut and bimbo? everything resets with further updates? hmm a bit boring in my opinion, because then you can only play slut :D it's still a really cool game, but the updates are very weird :D there's always little content :D but apparently things like that take a long time ^^
Fresh Mulan
Oh, she will get updated, there’s no way around it, just not soon:) With every new face I draw/redraw I become slightly better, so first I want to redo Olga and Mother and then we’ll get to the final version of Kira.
Fresh Mulan
Ideally there should be new sessions for new fetishes, like for lactation for example, but we could add in more references to existing events as well. I’m just not sure when, maybe in this update or maybe in the other “fast” one, if the “Expand Chief Officer content” will win ofc.
Wladi
Hey good good but when will Kira itself be updated? Is it still standard everywhere? a bit one-sided hmm? NPCs already look better than the main character and that shouldn't be the case, right? still pretty cool :)
Dr. Madness MNA
Any chance the hypno sessions could be expanded a bit once Kira has had a few changes implanted? Something like the Chief using more toys on her or guiding Kira to... "practice" her fetishes on him?
