Development Update - 25.01.2025 - Release Dates!
🕑 Added 2026-01-25 16:50:46 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
This is what you’ve been waiting for - things are finally coming together!
We’ve set the release date for the highest Patreon tier (Champions $100) to February 14th (Valentine’s Day). It feels like a great date - whether you’re playing Race of Life with someone special or just enjoying some time with your favorite characters.
Below you’ll find the planned release dates for the remaining tiers:
Reminder: if you want to be included in the game credits, you have time until February 13th. After that, the post will be closed:

Act 2 has officially received the green light on Steam and will be released once Episodes 4, 5, and 6 are finished. We’re planning to launch the Steam page in early February and will update you then.
As for development progress, the game was sent to beta testers on Friday. In the first week of February, we’re expecting to receive the final sound effects for the sex scenes. All racing animations are fully rendered at this point and only need sound design. Wondering who voices which character? We’ll be revealing it all very soon, so make sure you’re following us on X: https://x.com/UStudioGames
All animations are done except for one full pose from the Extra Scene, which still needs to be rendered and will result in a few additional animations. There are also a few small “render gaps” - in a couple of places things may still be added or slightly adjusted. Because of that, I can’t give you a final render count just yet, but as of today we’re already sitting at over 3,100 renders.
In terms of animation count, we currently have 195 animations in total. Out of those, 176 are NSFW and 19 are racing animations. The final numbers will be confirmed closer to release once everything is fully locked in.
A fun comparison: right now the total animation runtime is already over 30 minutes. For reference, Episodes 3.1 and 3.2 combined had about 12 minutes of animations. The animations are longer and more dynamic this time, especially the racing ones. Some sex animation loops are still short, around 5 seconds, but many are more developed and go over 15 seconds. The longest racing animation comes in at 53 seconds.
For the release countdown, we’re doing something a bit different this time - daily posts with different renders and animations from the game. Some will be public, some Patreon-only, and NSFW content will remain $20+ only, as always.
Episode 5 is currently being written by Joshua and is progressing really well. I’ll start working on its animations right after Episode 4 is released. Rendering animations needs to become my main priority moving forward, as it was the biggest factor slowing us down this time.
The preview you’re seeing today comes from the Extra Scene, with Maggie taking the lead. As always, the Extra Scene will be available from the $10+ tier (Bookmakers).
That’s it for now - release is getting very close and we can’t wait to share it with you. Thank you for the support ❤️

i thought you already finish the chapter4 and 5,but its still a good new.
UndegroundStudio
Thank you so much for the support - it really means a lot ❤️ This time I changed the whole animation workflow, which is why the scenes are longer and more ambitious. It also meant learning a lot of new things along the way. It won’t be perfect yet, but it’s getting better with every scene - and I’m confident Episode 5 will be even more polished in that regard. Really appreciate you backing us and being part of this journey.
UndegroundStudio
Oh yes - this time there’ll definitely be a lot more happening behind the wheel 😉 Glad to have you back for the ride. More racing action is coming!
UndegroundStudio
Thank you, we really appreciate it. After releasing Act 1 on Steam, it was honestly hard to pick up momentum again, and animations definitely extended the process more than expected. But we’re glad it shows - and Maggie’s dress… yeah, it hits haha
UndegroundStudio
Animations definitely slowed us down by a good 2-3 months this time, and I really hope it was worth the wait. From now on, my work on updates will start with animations - lewd scenes are the top priority.

Looks like im upgrading soon.

Yeah, those animation numbers are absolutely insane. You have my fire properly stoked now. Extra scene looks delicious. Once we tick over into Feb it's time to start looking at bumping tier for the release. You guys deserve a bonus and I get to play sooner.

Great news! REALLY looking forward to getting back behind the wheel.

The numbers, animation, renders, and extra scene previews are great. Definitely an update to look forward to. Took a while but we see why. That dress on Maggie. 🥵🥵

I am so happy for the game release. I've been waiting for this update for a long time. I love the animation from this game, and I hope to see more great animation.
