We want to be completely transparent with you about where we are with Episode 2.
We've hit a significant setback. Due to a resourcing and communication breakdown with one of our artists, a major scene (10b) that was reported as complete on the 20th never materialized. We don't have it. It needs to be created from scratch.
Despite weeks of follow-up and doing everything we could to support delivery—offering our own devices for remote work (our scenes are large and resource-intensive) and extending every reasonable deadline—the work simply never came through.
This has been exhausting and demoralizing, honestly. But we're not here to point fingers. Sometimes things don't work out despite everyone's best intentions, and we have to move forward.
Where we are:
Renders: 1,800 finished, ~155 remaining (scene 10b)
AI polish: 1,450 images done
Script: 80% complete (~2 days to finish once renders are in)
Animations: 30% complete (~4 days to finish once renders are in)
This means Episode 2 is already bigger than Episode 1—and we've done it in 90 days.
What we've done:
We've restructured our team to make sure this can't happen again. We tested 5 new artists and kept 2 on staff, growing our team with one more potentially joining in January. We're building a pipeline with redundancy so one breakdown can't derail an entire release.
We've also decided to raise the bar on NSFW content. We brought in a specialist to repose our NSFW scenes—she's incredible, and we've invested in a new PC for her so she can work faster. She's redone 450 images so far, with approximately 120 left in this release.
What this means for the release:
The other two artists on our team pulled incredibly hard through November and December trying to cover the gap—they've earned a break over the holidays. We're restarting work around January 5th and targeting mid-to-late January to complete scene 10b and wrap up the remaining work.
When it does land, Episode 2 will be our best work yet—better NSFW scenes, a stronger team, and a more resilient pipeline going forward.
We'll also be hosting a sale in January once Episode 2 releases—for those who bought the game and refunded when Episode 2 didn't arrive as expected, we want to give you a chance to come back at a discount.
We're genuinely sorry for the delay. Thank you for sticking with us, and we hope you have a restful holiday season. If you have any questions, feel free to ask—we're here.
