We hope you're alright amidst this whole situation we have! Luckily for us, we have not experienced a lot covid-related problems in our development so far. We just work from home and communication with our partners and freelancers has always been digital.
Meanwhile, our small team is steadily growing. As I (Zanzo) have had more than enough on my plate lately, we recently added an animator to our crew to do the remaining XXX scenes, portraits and all the other small animations we might need, like opening gifts and such. He does a great job so far - his first animations are done - and truly is a huge help. At the moment, we are also looking to add another Narrative Designer to help editing and implementing all the girl's dialogue. We are in talks with some promising candidates, so while that takes a bit of time, we hope it will soon pay off.
The next milestone is coming up and even though we had a bit of a delay while experiencing to make sure our XXX Mode will be the best it can be, we made great progress in almost all other areas. Testing and level design for XXX Mode is now in progress as well and we are quite pleased with the results so far, so it looks like we succeeded this time! :)
While it really was kind of a puzzle - and a really hard one at that - almost all of the game screens we were working on last time are now finished and mostly even implemented by now. Ressource Systems, XP Tracks, Booster progressions and a lot more of these smaller but essential systems have been put in and Achievements are underway. It's really starting to come together really nicely now and that is a great feeling. UI-wise, most problems are solved and there's only a couple of sub-screens and prompts that have yet to be optimized for a genuinely good user experience.
The next steps, among other things, will be introducing and testing some more level elements for XXX Mode before really diving into level production. At the same time, there's still work to do for the Demon Encounters which will serve as events. Cucu has already started painting remaining Icons and Artwork as well as redoing a couple of the oldest XXX scenes (Anaela's two scenes for example) to get them up to the quality of the latest ones. Parallely, our Freelancers will continue to finish and implement all the other content.
We can't wait to finally have people get their hands on the game - just a bit more patience is required :)
Stay healthy!

Thanks for the ongoing love! <3 We feel the same way and really want to finally release, but we always settled for doing it properly instead of as fast as possible, so that's what we're stuck with x) Anyways wow, time flies, it's been quite a while since the last update again. I will try and sneak in another one soon. Our task lists are properly filled and the work we do is not too exciting to write updates about, but I'll manage ;) We can't give out a demo, but we will make sure to deliver on our promises and invite qualifying patreons to the beta as soon as it is ready.

It's been so long since this project began. Look forward to seeing any updates, doubt that we'd get a demo even after 2 years of straight development but nonetheless those of us that are still here look forward to hearing anything. Keep it up, look forward not down or back
