For those interested in my progress and some insight in the stuff I learned from the launch, I posted a launch retrospective and my first development log on , and .

This looks off to a decent start, and checks a very specific box I have wanted for a while. Really hope the next update will have the player do a match and the results of it. Good luck, don't overextend or burn yourself out.

I tried to like this since i'm a big fan of NSFW and Masters of the Island/Ring but i only managed to get up to the line for signing up, this game is just waaaay too overanimated, there's nothing smooth about playing it, it's just a constant stopstartstopstartstopstart, feels like my first time learning to drive, bunnyhopping down the parking lot. Also, the lighting is pretty bad in places. Other than that it seemed fine, but it's clearly not for me, i can't get into it with that main issue. Good luck to the dev though, i wish you success.

Fair enough, thanks for checking it out and for the feedback!

Oh damn that was here way quicker then I expected! I was planning on posting it myself later when I had my patreon approved and the game actually indexed on itch but holy shit! Guess I'll apply for that tag and thanks for the welcome!
A word of advice having read through the spoilers in the OP. Don't let the community determine the scope of your core gameplay. Optional stuff sure cause that you can easily justify not doing if it's beyond your abilities or time limitations but you should always establish the core of your game before starting a project and stick to it cause otherwise you might and probably will quickly find yourself overwhelmed by what others are demanding. Also having that established framework from the start saves time cause you don't have to debate things mid development or go back and change them.

First thought: Oh this looks kind of cool a wrestling game with harem in the planned tags

*Sees swinging in the planned tags*: And in the trash it goes

If other guys are fucking your girls, you don't have a harem. At best, you're a pimp, and at worst, you're a cuck.

Nice game, dev. Looks very promising for a first release with an interesting premise. Don't worry about the naysayers who don't like swinging/NTR. Focus on your vision for the project.

I loved the interaction with Mia. Mike seems like a great friend. The MC has some backstory which is being teased well. And the MC doesn't come off as unlikeable.

Good luck on the development! :D

Alright, I've got some bad news. I will not be able to release the update tomorrow. I wish I had a really good reason or honestly that it was just ready but I don't really. It's just not in a state I want for release. Like I promised I am pausing billing and putting a halt to any new subscriptions on both Patreon and Subscribestar. I still want to release the preview build within the month, but realistically speaking I've proven that I'm not yet able to properly gage how long things take.

I know that realistically speaking there were always going to be growing pains in my first time developing a game yet I think we can all agree that it sucks. One of the factors is clearly that my productivity has tanked since the RAM issues I had and I've had some real difficulties getting back into the swing of things. That is probably a combination of personal failings, inexperience and some outside factors and it all just feels a bit shitty because I could've done better. I can do better. So that's exactly what I'll strive to do. Continue the work and try to improve my workflow. I thank all of you for your patience and support for this fledgling project and I promise you: no matter how long it takes I will get you the next part of the story and hopefully you'll be there to see it. No hard feelings if you aren't.
