We're working on it and will post news as soon as we can.

We're working on it. We'll post news when we're ready.

We're working on it, we'll announce news when it's ready to be published.

We are working.

Hey, Sirius! It's been a while since we had any news about the game (we're working on that) but I was thinking about you recently, thinking back to our conversations about lyres and the songs you've posted here. So I got curious, how have you been doing lately?

Sadly Itch doesn't have a DM system so responding to an old comment is the best I can do. Maybe it'll take a while before you see this message but, hey, I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

That's an interesting topic you bring up.

Speaking as a developer, back in 2019 when we started production we made the assumption that our player base would consist of "gay and bisexual men", and with the benefit of hindsight we also assumed they'd be into the romance and sexual content too. Later on we added a SFW Mode, more for a matter of helping players who do not feel safe carrying explicit gay content in their devices.

We also heard feedback from people who liked the game but did not want to have a romantic relationship with Asterion, which I consider a high compliment. Still, the premise of the game started around a romance with Asterion, so that really has always been our top priority.

Later on we realized that our assumptions weren't entirely correct. Nowadays we even have straight readers, which we honestly thought would never happen, we even joked about it.

Ultimately I don't think we made a bad call in focusing on the kind of content we were passionate about, but it really is interesting how these assumptions we make about a project and its audience aren't exactly perfect, particularly with a LGBT audience in which we're always meeting incredibly diverse people.

We'll look into it when the game is done, most likely.

We're working on the next chapter.

Thank you, I appreciate the sentiment!

And, yes, I suppose I have a thing for blue collar workers in general. Truckers kind of take the spotlight in this regard because you can write so many interesting scenarios with them, and there's a lot of depth to that profession if you take some time to read into it.

So, yes, I confess that I am into truckers.

That's right!

Yeah, like we said in the DevLog, Sex Drive is not a standard furry VN and we're trying to play with the format. It's very different, and it allows us to work on a kind of narrative that flows differently.

I hope Sex Drive can grow on you with time, but if not it's OK. We'll have news for our other projects soon.

Yeah, we'll post some news soon. We were just busy with irl stuff.

At this point, it's just the demo, which is the same whether you pay or not. We'll soon have news and more content.

I can give you a little cheat code. If you type "Chaoskampf" when Jean asks you to type your name on his phone, you'll get what we call the "Cthonic" variation, the darker one.

He has two different color sets but it depends on a third, mysterious thing.

Have you tried Excessive Cum and Intense Orgasm, and only those two?

Hey! We’re working on the next update. Sadly some pretty rough real life stuff got in the way but, thankfully, that’s sorted out and I’m back at work. I’m sorry about the delay but I’m hopeful that you’ll like what we’re cooking, and that it’ll all feel worth it. Thank you for your support.

Roddo writes Devil's Gambit. We've had some delays with Chapter 20 because of irl issues, which include me having to take some time to help relatives going through health issues. We'll probably start talking about things in the next month or so.

Build 3 adds Chapters 3 and 4 for Act 2, yes.

I sprinkled Bloodborne and Dark Souls references everywhere, I'll just say that.

Here!

We don’t have an estimate yet

Not yet. We'll make a post when we're closer to completion.

We’re still developing the game! For now only the demo is available. Don’t worry though, you’ll get all future versions of the game guaranteed if you’ve made a donation for us at this point.

It's auto-enabled on this version of the game.

Thank you! And a Happy New Year to you as well!

They're all based on Greek lyres, though heavily modified from the standard design.

The left one is a chelys-style barbiton. It's by no means a traditional chelys, but still it's chelys-style.

The right one is inspired on the U-shaped lyre from Hagia Triada Sarcophagus while mixing it with the Minoan symbol we call the "horns of consecration." I don't know how I'd classify it, but perhaps the closest would be calling it kithara-style (though not with the movable crossbar that Luthieros has on their kithara model).

Haven't played the game yet but I thought I should say that your Patreon page isn't active and people can't subscribe to it, you might want to have that checked out.

I went a bit about the process of redesigning Asterion's lyre here, have you checked it out? I can try and answer any specific questions if you have them.

It's the handsome friend...

Sorry for taking a while, I was busy with irl stuff.

In short, some mythicals originate from humans being modified to be more animal-like, and some were animals modified to be more human-like.

P and Argos, for example, both originate from lineages of humans who were transformed. As such they can still have kids if they pair up with humans,  and sometimes the "mythical gene" can skip a generation.

Meanwhile Themba and the grootslangs do not descend from humans in any way, so they can't have kids with humans.

That's what I meant for the longer answer.

If you're asking if mythicals can reproduce in the hotel, then the answer is yes. They can, just the same as humans.

If you're asking how mythicals reproduce, that's a longer answer and I can get to it later today if that's what you want.

That's a good idea, I'll keep it in mind.

Human reproduction is possible. They left some exceptions to the rule.

The Hotel's rules (through the contracts the masters signed over the centuries) are a mess of makeshift things piled up on top of each other. When it comes to this point in particular, previous masters made it so that most (but not all) life could not reproduce above the cliff wall. That's why, very specifically and since the first build, we make a point of saying that there was no fungi/mold in the hotel when the player arrived. This doesn't affect beneficial gut bacteria, FYI.

That is to say, if someone has an infection when they reach the hotel it'll stop multiplying in them and recede. Some conditions may be cured by this, while others would only go into remission.

For the first and second, you need to play the stories with ONLY the right kinks enabled. You'll need to activate two specific kinks per story.

When you click on the locked bobblehead options you'll get a hint on what kinks you should turn on.

If this isn't enough of a hint I can say more in a while.

I'm gonna pass your comment on to Eymon, but in the meanwhile here's the songs!

If you want to take a peek at the game before downloading it, recently plover310 made a LP of the demo!
