The Incredibly Late Devlog - July
Gather ‘round, you rum-soaked scallywags!
Long time no see, huh? Let's get down to business...
Chapter I Act 2
The next act of the game is underway, but it'll take some time to complete. Our goal of releasing it on Steam still stands, despite recent events. It was always part of the plan to release a SFW version on Steam, with a patch for the NSFW content available here or through another platform/forum.
With that in mind, the game needs new non-sexual scenes, as well as plenty of spicy content to satisfy all your lecherous cravings. We've got our work cut out for us...
That being said, there are still a few bugs plaguing the current version. I’m aware of most of them, and they'll be taken care of with the new act’s release.
I’m aiming to release the new act this November, to mark the game’s one-year anniversary. It might come out sooner, but not later, barring any unexpected turn of events.
I know development’s been slow, but good art and music cost good money… and there's also the labour of writing and coding. I hope you’ll understand, and maybe even forgive me for taking my time.
Regarding the Itch.io situation
In case you haven't been following the news, there's some ongoing tomfoolery surrounding payment processors. They are basically trying to cut access to funding for every single adult game in the industry!
I just wanted to put your minds at ease regarding such things, as this project was never conceived as a lucrative venture. While these changes might hurt the game’s visibility, they won’t affect its continued development in the slightest.
There’ll be a new devlog coming in August, where I’ll talk a bit about the game’s inspirations, the world’s backstory, and a few other things.
So keep an eye out...

Good to hear about your stance on the current bullshittery happening, will still try to help with the current development as best I can. No worries on how fast the update comes, would far rather you took your time to polish it to your satisfaction. Just keep me posted on when the next build needs to be combed over, have a bit less free time now with my new job, but I'd be more than happy to keep on as an unofficial member of the dev team.
Ahoy John! Nice to hear I can count on your help come next release.
I'll stay in touch, you did great work on our last build.
Appreciate it, it's a genuine pleasure whenever I have the opportunity to, y'all have a really solid grasp on worldbuilding. Take it the dev team has a fair few tabletop players in your ranks?
Edit: Good news. Someone set up an archival site yesterday for working NSFW links, added LoE and most of my huge collection there, it's at 500+ links and rising. loop-io.dev is the site link.
Yeah I've played a few table RPGs before xD
This game's world is almost good enough to serve as a setting for an RPG, I've been thinking about hosting one with some friends one of these days, I need to add some more details before I feel comfortable doing so. But that will have to wait until the game is completely finished.
And I checked out the website, I'm so glad the game shows up there! I don't think that little organization's "shouts" will last very long, people will just look for alternatives to share their art.
