Fellow Olympians, it’s time for our next
Jock Studio Development Update, featuring an update on our
Physical Merchandise production and a
Development Diary! Please be sure and read the full content of the update, as it contains information for all fans of Jock Studio and BLits Games!
Kickstarter Physical Merchandise Update
First up, we have an update about our promised
Kickstarter Physical Merchandise – production is still ongoing, but
a large number of items have already been manufactured and arrived at our sorting facility! Just look at all these boxes:
There’s a whole lot of merchandise here to be
unpacked, sorted, and organized to their respective backers! We’re still waiting on
a few more items to arrive, and once we have the complete inventory, we can begin final packing and shipments to backers – we’ll update everyone again when that time comes! We hope everyone is excited about these items!
PS – Like we mentioned in our previous update, at this time, the Kickstarter Physical Merchandise is unaffected by the current tariff situation. If that should change, we will inform everyone as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding!
Jock Studio Development Diary #13
Next up, we’re going into
our 13th Development Diary, featuring news about what the team has been up to over the past month and a half, and all the progress we’ve made on Jock Studio’s development!
Part 1 – Story Update!
To kick things off, the last time we released an update about
the Story Department was during the
Jock Studio One-Year Update, and we’re happy to announce we’ve made great progress in this department! Like we mentioned in that previous announcement, our priority was first
designing the various mechanics which you’ve all been able to experience in
Demo 2.0, and then focusing on the game’s overall plot and flow! Now, we’re excited to show you a first sneak-peek at
the Jock Studio Game Calendar – check it out below!
Like we’ve revealed before, Jock Studio takes place over
Ace’s second semester at Olympus University, and
the timeline will span over the course of the whole semester! There are several exciting events spread throughout as well, including our
Kickstarter goals of Spring Break and the Festival Arc! We’ll have more to discuss about these arcs and events later, but for now that’s all we can show!
Part 2 – New Sprite Costumes!
Speaking of
Spring Break, like we announced during our last development update, while the Jocks will wear practical swimsuits when working out, they have
special, additional swimwear designs for the beach – checkout the concepts below:
Looking sexy, aren’t they? On top of this, as much as we’d all like to see the Jocks near-naked all day long at the beach, the saying ‘no shirt, no shoes, no service’ still applies in the Jock Studio Universe. To accommodate for this rule, each of the Jocks have
an additional Beach Costume, which is a slightly dressed up version of their swimwear! Check them out below:
Both of these amazing outfits will be included on
all of the Jock’s sprites, and will be frequently worn by them while they’re out at the city beach, or on the exciting
Spring Break Arc! We’ll have more previews of these designs as they go through
the sprite art phase, so please stay tuned!
Part 3 – New 3D Concepts!
Next up, we’re leaving the beach and headed back to class! Our
3D Department has been hard at work designing
even more additional locations in Jock Studio, and this time it’s fleshing out
the Academic Buildings! Demo 2.0 showcased
the lecture hall where Ace attends his classes, but it’s far from the only location inside the building – check out the other travelable locations below:
Whether it’s meeting with a professor in the
teacher’s lounge, having a quick chat in the
hallway, or meeting for a secret rendezvous on
the rooftop, the Academia Building isn’t all about lectures! You can look forward to
painted versions of these backgrounds to be previewed later, as well as travel to them yourself in the full game!
Part 4 – New Puppet Animations!
After you’re done exercising your mind, make sure to exercise your body as well, with
brand-new puppet animations! Jock Studio Demo 2.0 previewed
three of the available workout minigames, including
Weights, Machines and Treadmill, but as you’ve seen based on the icons, there are
three more minigames in the full game!
One of these minigames includes
a Calisthenics Exercise, also known as a body workout, and each Jock has their own unique take on it, just like the other minigames! Check out
a puppet animation preview of each of these unique poses below:
We’ll have another preview of
the Calisthenics Minigame Mechanics in a later development update, as well as
more puppet previews of both other minigame’s animations, so please stay tuned for more in the future!
Jock Studio Demo 2.1 Update
That’s all for this
development diary, but we have one more exciting piece of news to share with everyone – after a major overhaul that we detailed in our previous update and lots of hard work,
Jock Studio Demo 2.1 is nearly ready for release! In fact, we expect
Demo 2.1 to be available for download on May 9th, 2025!
Jock Studio Demo 2.1 is the promised
optimized version of Demo 2.0, which should resolve all major issues that were experienced during our initial release! On top of that, Demo 2.1 also features several other additional features, including
animations for the Jock’s Sex Scenes, the
merging of Demo 1 and Demo 2.0, and more!
We’ll have full details of what’s changed on the
release date of May 9th, so please stay tuned until then! Thank you all for your patience with us throughout this process, and we’re very excited to share this updated and smoother gameplay experience with everyone!
Closing Word
That’s all for this development update, but we hope that everyone enjoyed all of these exciting content previews!
We’ll be back in
May with the announced
release of Jock Studio Demo 2.1, as well as a
Development Diary later in the month! In the meantime, if you’re itching for more BLits content to hold you over, please check out the
Side Stories DLC we just released for
Camp Buddy: Scoutmaster Season!
