Poll - Next "Exotic" Relationship NPC
The Female/Futa Drake that is about to drop, as well as the new Male Centaur, will both have limited romance paths in subsequent updates (and we've already got the Voice Acting for these recorded and in-hand). This got us thinking; exotics are popular, romance is popular... I wonder what the next Male and Female/Futa romance options should be...This vote is also running on our Discord, so Patrons can already vote twice. For upgraded vote power, with the vote on here will be weighted by % rather than raw numbers, giving Patrons a greater say...

Development Update Blog
Hi all,So first things first. We're waiting on some voice-acting before we can push the update, so that places our release window to the last week of July/first week of August.

The first of these wil...

Development Update Blog: Troubleshooting the Shift to UE5.4
Hi all,Just a brief development update to give you an idea of where we are. Some of the new systems which we showcased in the last development blog required us to upgrade the engine to version 5.4, which we had already done at time of last posting. Since then, and as we approached our initial estimate of the end of July, we began our usual process of test builds to check for any unexpected surprises.In UE5.4, Epic have included some fairly hefty performance improvements, however these have not come without a cost. The "improvements" hav...
Development Update Blog: Behind the Scenes of Dynamic Sex System 2.0

Poll: Dynamic Sex System 2.0 Content
This is a poll for initial content for DSS 2.0. We want to ensure the first release covers a range of scene styles, so for this we've got a few types of interaction planned. "Erotic" and "Quickie" have been voted on in the Patreon-exclusive polls over on Discord."Quickie Scene"These scenes are intended as erotic appetisers filling out the world, shorter acts that relieve some sexual tension but don't replace the main event. Just because a scenario features as a quickie does not mean that the same type of act/scen...
