Hello,
This is Tiramisu(& NTRWarthog) from Big S Studio.
Before sharing this important update, we would like to sincerely thank everyone for the continued interest and support you have shown toward Big S Studio’s games. It has now been four years since the NTRAHOLIC project was first introduced on Kickstarter. Thanks to your encouragement and trust, we were able to successfully release our second title, The Censor. Big S Studio has been able to continue its work entirely because of our fans, and we will continue striving to deliver even more enjoyable games in the future.
## Regarding Bug Fixes for NTRAHOLIC Original
We have confirmed that the initial release quality of NTRAHOLIC Original Steam version did not fully meet the standards we aim to uphold. Since release, numerous bugs and technical issues have been fixed. In addition, many improvements that were prepared over several weeks but could not be included in the release version due to late-discovered bugs are scheduled to be implemented in the near future.
## Regarding Changes to the Big S Studio Team and Development Structure
Over the past four years, we believed that our studio was steadily improving, not only in game quality, but also across communication, quality assurance, and marketing, through repeated trial and error. However, after careful internal review, we recognized that the significant amount of post-release refinement required for our past titles clearly indicates the need for more structured debriefing and experience sharing throughout our development process.
## Delay of Release Schedule
Based on these reflections and after multiple rounds of internal discussions, Big S Studio has decided to move forward with a comprehensive restructuring of our team and development framework. This includes improving our programming workflows, strengthening our QA processes, recruiting and training additional talent, and introducing more systematic post-project reviews. As part of this effort, we have decided to postpone the release of The Censor DLC and Lifeguard Legend until sometime in 2026, following the completion of the final bug fixes and stability improvements for NTRAHOLIC Original. We sincerely apologize for the delay.
## Regarding NTRAHOLIC Remix and Critical Bliss
We would also like to clarify information regarding NTRAHOLIC Remix to avoid further confusion. This title is currently being developed by Critical Bliss and is a separate project from NTRAHOLIC Original. While we are aware that the two projects have sometimes been mistaken as the same, NTRAHOLIC Remix is a completely new game being independently developed by Critical Bliss and is still in development. Big S Studio is not directly involved in the development of this title.
## Thank you for your support
This decision reflects our commitment to establishing a development structure that can consistently deliver games at a stable level of quality and to growing into a studio that earns long-term trust from its players. We kindly ask for your understanding and patience, and we once again express our deepest gratitude for your continued support.
Thank you.
