Development Update - 25.01.2025 - Release Dates!

Hey 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 ❤️
