Happy Holidays Everyone! New Release Soon!
🕑 Added 2019-12-14 05:18:58 +0000 UTC***UPDATE: Quick one... Since the next update is going to be released on January 2nd (official!), we will not do it as a Paid-post. We'll change Patreon's settings to charge per month, then release the game. This way, there's no risk of a double charge, or any other shenanigans. You guys will also have some time to check it out first before committing to anything.*****
Hey! Long time no see, right?
Let's cut to the chase! We're gonna release a new short game soon, and as promised, this is your heads-up post.
There's no need to spoil the surprise much more, since it's dropping at the very end of this month, or at the very beginning of January. Tops.
We had the help of some wonderful artists this time and everybody is working super hard to get everything to the highest quality.
Check it out:
Can't show you folks too much since Patreon has been a little anal about nudity and stuff on their site... But it looks really nice, huh? We sure 'been drooling at them.
In case you've been following us lately, this is NOT the game we've been working the whole year on, though. That is for a later date still.
This game is gonna be a spin-off. Even though it's a short game, the amount of content and lewdness is by far the largest we've ever done! Can't wait to see what you guys think about it.
Oh, and yeah, it's definitely coming out this time! ^_^"
We'll be releasing two versions simultaneously:
:: A public version for everyone on Newgrounds and Itch.io, featuring a total of five characters on a night fun like no other!
:: A Patreon-only downloadable version, with four extra characters and other goodies!
Now, about the Patreon charging method we'll be using. Earlier, we switched to a per-game charging system, launched nothing new on that time, so no charges were made. Worked great, but there's a catch. The way that Patreon functions makes this system very inefficient. If we make a paid-post (one that would charge you), we have to wait until the end of that month for the charges to take place. It's not on the day of said post, like we thought. This quirk makes it so that some people may pledge, get the game and un-pledge shortly after, genuinely believing that they were charged and everything's cool, but in fact the charge may never take place. We heard a lot of other Patreon creators having trouble with this, and even Patreon itself recommends that we use a per-month charging since that's the way their systems are designed to work.
For this reason, we'll be switching back to a Per-Month basis, Charge Up Front, RIGHT AFTER we release this game. If this change makes you worried about us being slow to release new things (rightly so), we're totally cool with folks pledging only on the month of a new release, then un-pledging rightly after and until we get something new out. If, however, you wish to stick around, we're gonna have some polls and a new skin system for characters (more about this later!) that will make the slow months not that slow at all.
Al'right, guess this is the time to officially announce the new Reward Tiers, to be implemented at the launch of this new spin-off.
To keep it short and simple:
Curious Tier ($1)
- Access to Patreon feed, sneak peeks and the Discord chat!
Big Tier ($5)
- Everything from previous tiers, plus:
- Access to polls! Vote on new content like scenes, skins, spin-off ideas...
- Access to the latest version of the games!
Sharp Tier ($10)
- Everything from previous tiers, plus:
- Access to a dedicated Spoiler Discord channel! Get the latest bits directly from us!
- Access to currently available Skin codes! (more about this later!)
Gorgeous Tier ($20)
- Everything from previous tiers, plus:
- Early access to the newest skin codes! At least 30 days before anyone else!
- 4x Voting Power! Your votes count as 4 for all polls!
- Your name in the credits!
We're going to set them up in a few days (giving us a chance to hear your feedback on them). And don't worry, no charges will take place until the game is out.
And that's it! Short and simple! But if you have any questions, don't forget to hit us up on Discord or in the comments below!
See you guys later! More tidbits about the game soon!

I am alright with a 20 dollar pledge i just wanted to make sure it wasn't gonna double charge. I'll wait for the game and see what happens
Hmm, I see your point. We don't believe that will happen because when we make a paid-post, the charge will be scheduled for the end of the month. So when we change back to a per-month basis, there's already going to be a charge scheduled for everyone, so Patreon shouldn't do it twice. If I'm not mistaken, the change is not instantaneous as well (Patreon takes its time), probably to ensure such a thing doesn't happen. However, you can also un-pledge for now, and then re-pledge once the game is out for sure. This way you should be safe in any case. We'll look more into it anyway to guarantee that no double charge will take place. About the $15 pledge value, you will have to change it to another amount, since we'll no longer have a tier with a $15 value. Sorry about that ^_^"
I'm currently on a $15 teir what will happen when you switch back? if i need to re-pledge that'll be the 15 for the games release and then 20 when i re-pledge on top of that
