ADULT GAMES WEEK!
Hi everyone! We’re taking part in a big event: ADULT GAMES WEEK.
It would also be great if you added our other projects to your wishlist, in case you haven’t already:
Your God Damn Battle-Beast: cyberpunk, MMA, futanari.
[/*]The Veil Chronicles: Nix University: fantasy, magical university, monster girls.

20,000 WISHLISTS!
Hi everyone!
Our game has passed the 20,000 wishlist mark, so we’d like to share a few facts about it:
As we’ve said many times, we don’t use AI for visuals or audio. The game has two lead artists, but in total eight people are working or have worked on the visuals.
[/*]The game will have at least 44 NSFW scenes. There may be more if we have time, but 44 is the minimum.
[/*]The game will feature frame-by-frame animated cutscenes. There won’t be many (around 2 minutes in total), but they’re there, including a full-blown superhero fight action scene, animated frame by frame.
[/*]The game will be fully voiced in both Russian and English, and all of the voice acting is already recorded.
[/*]The game isn’t very long. By our estimates, it takes about 7–8 hours to complete. It’s mostly linear, but there are multiple endings, plus several optional missions that affect individual characters’ storylines.
[/*]You can develop romantic relationships with some of the heroines, but it’s not a dating sim (though, of course, there are NSFW scenes with all the characters).
[/*]
We hope you’ll enjoy our game! If you have any questions, we’ll be happy to answer them.
15,000 Wishlists!
Hey everyone!
I'm happy to announce that we've crossed the 15,000 wishlist mark! Thank you for the support — it's way more than I expected to gather in such a short time. I really hope the game won't disappoint you.
1. The voice acting is fully complete, both in Russian and English. As I mentioned before: both the dialogue and the 18+ scenes are voiced.
2. The game will feature about 2 minutes of cutscenes with frame-by-frame animation, and you'll be able to see some fragments of these very soon.
3. Right now we're continuing to work on the visuals and putting the game together. We're planning for the early demo to come out in November or December of this year (we originally planned to release it sooner, but decided it needs some polishing first).
You might also be interested in our other projects:
1) Your God Damn Battle-Beast
MMA, cyberpunk, futanari. Add it to your wishlist :)
2) The Veil Chronicles: Nix University
A fantasy game where you gather a squad of girls and hunt monsters.
By the way, this one is releasing very soon, and you can try the demo right now.

News about us and our friends!
Hey everyone!
We're continuing work on the game. The demo will most likely be out by the end of October or in November. There's also a lot of exciting stuff coming that we'll share in upcoming updates.
In the meantime... our friends' game demo is out: The Veil Chronicles: Nix University
It'd be awesome if you played it and left a review to support the developers. The full release is coming up soon (November 2026).
5000 WISHLISTS!
Hey everyone!
We already have 5000 wishlists (actually a bit more by now), which I'm incredibly happy about.
Honestly, my goal was to hit at least 2000 in the first month, so this has far exceeded my expectations.
I want to share a bit about our progress:
1. We're almost done recording the voice acting. As you know, the game will have both Russian and English voiceovers. The Russian voiceover is fully recorded, and the English one is about 80% done. I think the English voiceover will be fully recorded by mid-August, and the whole thing will be ready to use by the end of August.
By the way, you can check out a sample of the English voiceover in this video (like it and all that).
2. About the demo. We had planned to release it in August to help promote the game, but we've now decided to push the demo's release date to October.
First, we want it to include voice acting and more content overall.
Second, we want it to be in a presentable state, so we decided not to rush it.
3. Active work is underway on the visual side. As you know, we don't use AI. This does slow down our workflow, but we hope you'll like the results.
Several artists are working on the game, and we're aiming to pack it with lots of content. For example, we currently have 11 full NSFW scenes drawn (there will be significantly more).
The game will feature more than 30 different enemies, both story-related and non-story, that you'll encounter either while completing missions on the map or through side quests.

Thanks for reading. Follow our X|Twitter — news drops there faster.
And also, add our other game (made by a different team) to your wishlist — it's about cyberpunk, futanari, and MMA.
And here are a few sketches for you:
[/img][/img][/img]Game Announcement and a Couple of News Items!
Hey everyone!
Thanks for following, adding to your wishlist, and some of you even getting active (I've seen it, thanks to everyone).
Work on the game is in full swing. We're aiming to present a small trial version in September (not ready to call it a full "demo" yet).
But for now... an announcement of the Steam page for "Your God Damn Battle Beast." Add it to your wishlist so you don't miss it.

I'll note right away that a different team is working on this game, so The Rope Knight and Your God Damn Battle Beast are being developed in parallel and don't get in each other's way. What connects them is that they were both conceived and written by the same person (yeah, me).
Your God Damn Battle Beast — futanari (the main character and one other character), MMA, and cyberpunk.
It's a fairly dark story in a cyberpunk setting, where we're part of a brutal reality show that combines no-holds-barred fighting and sex.
Turn-based combat (different from the actual game — typo, should read "the previous game"), a genuinely dark and heavy story with no jokes about it, plus a diverse and interesting cast of heroines full of secrets. And — yes, full voice acting.

3000 WISHLISTS!
Hey everyone!
The creator's laptop suddenly broke, so the news got delayed by a day :D
In the first 9 days we reached 3000 wishlists. That might not be an astronomical number, but it's a pretty good result (significantly higher than expected). Thanks to everyone who added the game to their wishlist.
A bit of info:
We don't plan to release into Early Access and/or split the game up. The game will release complete. If there are any DLCs, they won't be part of the main story or the original concept.
[/*]We're planning a full demo version by autumn, but it's possible some kind of trimmed-down version could show up earlier.
[/*]The Russian voiceover is currently 90% ready, and we'll start on the English voiceover soon. We hope the demo will already have voice acting.
[/*]Yes, our game is adult and focused on a specific fetish/kink (mostly), but we've tried to create genuinely interesting characters with varied stories (some of which will be revealed through side quests).
[/*]
We hope you'll like the results of our work.
