Progress update!
🕑 Added 2025-07-11 20:11:37 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
I wanted to give everyone a quick update since it's been a while! But not to worry, I have been working on Reine's update and even though it's taking me a while, progress is steady. The fight is 90% finished, while cutscenes are around 70% finished!
With this encounter being a little more ambitious, I'm really happy with how it's turning out, and I can promise it'll be the biggest update so far! But you will still have to bear with me for a while as I finalize everything.
Now, I'm deeply humbled by all of you who are supporting me financially, so I owe you complete honesty on my plan moving forward. Next update will be Reine, then the update after will add 2 guest characters to fight against. Then after that, I'd like to take a bit of a hiatus - at most something like 2 months - as I want to get back to working on some SFW stuff again. This game will not be abandoned, that's a promise! I've just been a little burned out from drawing so much lewd art and I just want to be able alternate between doing that and working on a separate project. Tell me what you think and don't hold back, give me your honest thoughts on whether you feel this is reasonable or not.
I'll repeat that donating to this game is purely optional, so if you want to pull your support during the hiatus that is perfectly understandable. Stomping Friends has gotten the most love out of any of my projects and I'm incredibly thankful, but I still don't want this game to be the only thing I'm working on, I'd go crazy! So if I take a break after 2 more updates, it'll help me recharge to make sure I'm really motivated to work on Beastie number 4's encounter. I've already got an awesome idea for her...

Hey, thank you for your comment! I actually would love to include scenarios where the Beasties meet each other, I've thought about it a lot and it makes sense for a game that's all about friendship. However, it's the same problem as for a lot of other things, that being that it would take a long time to make art for these scenarios so I'm focusing on other things first.

Take all the time you need, never burn yourself out, we're happy to wait. Though, I did have one question, will there ever be a moment when two Beasties show up? For an example of a scenario: Olive wants Blanche to show her around and meet another Beastie to hang out with. Blanche's friend could be Fabienne or Reine ( whom neither of them know about Olive or haven't meet her yet ). Naturally Blanche isn't enthusiastic about it, but Olive persuades her to go. Fabienne invites Blanche inside and is happy to meet Blanche's new friend, but Blanche didn't mention exactly what type of new friend she was. Olive, being very excited, slips down onto the floor to introduce herself, which freaks out Fabienne, since she thinks it's a bug at her hooves. Fabienne tries to step on the " bug " and asks for Blanche to help her. Since Blanche didn't really want to come over, she takes this opportunity to pay Olive back and plays along by " trying " to stomp the bug. So now Olive has to dodge a giant paw and a giant hoof together. Either Blanche could be on top screen and Fabienne could be on bottom screen or vice versa. Basically, since Blanche's paw is the one that slowly follows the player type and Fabienne's hoof is the quick stomp and pull back off screen type, maybe there could be a Variant level that has two Beasties trying to stomp the player, kinda like an extra/hard mode level.
