3/26 Status Update
🕑 Added 2023-03-26 20:55:00 +0000 UTCFriday I released Chapter 5 of Netoria Tactics: Revolution. So this week was pretty much getting that done. But what's in store for the next month?
The next update will bring the game up to the end of the main story. I think this might take longer than a month though because of how much writing is involved. That final level is going to need a whole lot of variations to fit ever route. So we'll see, but it might end up being a May release.
After about a month off, the character artist for At the Mountains of Friendship is going to start the monthly girl grind with girl 11. This means I want a mostly finished version ready to go soon. There's still a few UI elements I need, and a good amount of writing not finished though. I think what's going to happen is I'll try to get the writing finished over time up until the full release in June, but doing that at the same time as Netoria, and the new girls, and other games is going to be pretty tough.
That means I don't think I'll be able to restart work on Naked Ambition until after the epilogues for Netoria are done. At that point expansion content should be a lot less demanding, and if those take two months each I don't think it will be a big deal.
As for Futa Oasis, like I've said before there's only one public update left and it's almost done. There's 10 new random events, and one scene for every character. I can definitely get a preview out for that to start next month off I think. Which means April might contain patreon preview content for Netoria, ATMOF, and Futa Oasis, we'll see though.
I really do want to get to work on Naked Ambition again, it's just a matter of having time. What I'd like to do is switch to a schedule of having one main game and one side game active at a time. So ATMOF will be the main game, and then I'll finish off Netoria and Futa Oasis, and then start releasing updates for Naked Ambition until it's finished. The current end of content is right before the end game crisis, so it's almost there. And then in the background I can start work on whatever side game follows that up.
Having so many games active at once just kind of stresses me out. Like that there's this one Futa Oasis update left is pretty annoying because I feel I should be working on it, but there's a other stuff that feels more pressing. Putting Naked Ambition on hiatus was definitely the right move, I can't imagine what it's be like right now if I was feeling like I needed to actually release regular updates right now.
Here's my plan:
April:
- Netoria end of story update (maybe have to delay a month)
- ATMOF full version $10 preview (or at least close to it)
- Futa Oasis preview
May:
- Netoria epilogues (might have to delay a month)
- ATMOF girl 11 $10 preview + $5 full version preview
- Futa Oasis update
June:
- Netoria content (either epilogues or first expansion content)
- ATMOF public release!!! Plus girl 12 $10 preview and girl 11 $5 preview
July+:
- ATMOF is fully rolling
- Naked Ambition! (Hopefully)
- Continued Netoria expansion content
So that's what I'd like to happen. There's tons of stuff that could make it go off the rails, but life altering events aside I think it's I can do it. That's all for this week. As always, thank you for your continued support.

Futa and female Carwyn sounds like the patrician route, or Futa Gwen and the rest of the cast become women, both top contenders. Loving the work

The first expansion route is going to be one where Carwyn wins both Gwen and Vivian and they become a throuple. After that I was thinking about doing something with having Gwen become a futa, but I'm not sure exactly what.

I work better when I have multiple projects going on at once. That way I can switch between them if I stall out on one for a bit. And games always have a thousand equally critical tasks going on at once anyway.

What's going to be in the expansion

It's a miracle you're not procrastinating. Being unable to decide between two equally VERY IMPORTANT tasks is the main factor.

It's great news that Netoria Tactics will get a lot more content and you're not going to leave it so soon. Both the mechanics and the title itself have a lot of potential that would be worth polishing and adding to its content ;-)

That overwhelming feeling of stress to release an update for something can certainly wear you down. Naked Ambition is great, but I can certainly wait on it.

I remember finding Naked Ambition a few years ago on TFGames, and loving it! I also just discovered Netoria a while ago on Itch and fell in love with that one as well. Overall just wanted to say I love your content and thank you for making such amazing, and spicy, games <3
