The 2025 was… well. Fruitful, to say the least!
It’s just as important to celebrate wins as to own the challenges, don’t you think?
Let's take a look at our project's most notable events this year!
v0.4 AND v0.4.5 (TEST BUILD) RELEASES
No developers were harmed in the making of v0.4 and v0.4.5. Okay, maybe just a little bit.

was a big one, with its fair share of challenges. We wanted the world to feel alive, with characters moving through their days and following routines. It took time and plenty of late nights, but we got there!

A huge step forward this year: our Steam page went live! In my opinion, it looks simply

NEW FACES
A game this ambitious needs the best hands on deck—so we expanded the team. Now we’re 14 strong, with
Hipunk (community manager and video maker),
ZIV01 (project manager) and
g0belen (QA tester) joining. Welcome to the crew!
BEHIND THE SCENES
This year, we submitted over 1944 changelists in our source control. That, of course, doesn't mean every single one was much meaningful, if you know how source control works... But that just proves the work never really stops.
Want a sprinkle of other significant numbers? This year:
- Our Discord community grew by nearly 40%, hitting over 11000 members
- On Patreon our paid members grew by 89%, while free ones jumped 110%
- Our SubscribeStar audience grew by 52%
- Our Boosty audience grew by 70%
The road of 2025 was a bit bumpy with all that's been going on around adult videogames, but we are still standing! Thank
you for sticking with us and helping us to build toward the adult game of our shared dreams. More to come in 2026!
And for now—happy holidays! Enjoy your time with loved ones ❤
Yours faithfully,
Lantsova
