[HELP SHAPE IHKY #2] Character Profiles — New Design
Hey Subscribers!
For the second [HELP SHAPE IHKY] post, I want to show you the redesigned Character Profiles.
I made a few changes because I wanted the profiles to be more than just a place to read about the girls. I wanted them to be something actually useful while you play.
Here’s what’s new:
NEW tags - Whenever something is added or updated for a character, a NEW tag will show up, so you never have to guess whether there’s something you haven’t seen yet.
Relationship progress with tiers - A progress bar shows where you stand with some of the girls, so you can see how things are going.
Characters to unlock - See how many characters you still have left to discover.
And here are some of the old features, now with a better design:
Journey - A timeline of everything that’s happened with each character. It’s perfect if just need to refresh your memory.
Gallery - All the images you’ve unlocked with that character (images not scenes)
Outfits - Browse the outfits you’ve unlocked for each character.

🔥 Carnal Contract – A New Update Is Coming!
Hi everyone,
It's been more than a year since the last content update, and I want to thank every one of you who played, reviewed, and stuck around. Your support kept this project alive.
I'm happy to finally share that a new update is on its way! It continues the story right where it left off, so you'll finally find out what happens next.
And yes, your favorite girls are coming back! Diane, Nicole, and Becky will all return.
When?
We're planning to release the update in December. We're still working on it, and development doesn't always go exactly as planned, so the date could shift a little in either direction. As soon as I'm 100% sure, I'll announce the exact release date.
More details will follow in the upcoming days, so keep an eye on this page and follow the game so you don't miss anything.

[HELP SHAPE IHKY #1] The Welcome Screen — First impressions?
Hey Subscribers!
I’ve been working on a new welcome flow for I Have Known You that you will see when starting a new game.
I wanted the beginning to feel a little more polished and welcoming.
So when starting a new game, you’ll be able to:
Choose how you want to play:
Visual Novel Mode
Exploration Mode — coming in December
And choose your name before you begin the story.
I’m still working on this screen, so I’d love to hear your thoughts! Do you think something is missing? Is there anything else you would like to see explained or added to this welcoming flow?

📅 Release schedule - IHKY & Carnal Contract
Hey Subscribers!
This will be a relatively short post with our release plans for the rest of the year. We still have quite a lot coming for both games! 😄
What’s Coming
Here’s the current plan:
I Have Known You — Chapter 5 / v5.01 - Second week of November
I Have Known You — Exploration Mode / v6 - First week of December
Carnal Contract — New Content Update / Episode 10 - December
I Have Known You — Steam Release Update
And now for the slightly less fun news. 😅
I was planning to release I Have Known You on Steam on November 19th, but I completely forgot that GTA 6 is launching on exactly the same day. 😂
After talking with a few other developers and publishers, pretty much everyone told me the same thing: releasing an indie game against GTA 6 would be a terrible idea. November is already pretty busy, and December isn’t much better because of the Steam Winter Sale.
So after thinking about it for a while, I made the decision to move the Steam release to February 2027.
Unfortunately, that’s the closest I can realistically move it. January is also not a great month for releasing games, so February seems like the safest option.
I know some of you might be disappointed by this, and honestly, I’m not exactly happy about delaying it either. 😅 But I really want to give IHKY the best chance possible when it finally launches.
The Steam release is very important for the future of the game. We need the launch to perform well so that I can have the budget to continue working on IHKY and keep adding more content.
I’ll change the date on the Steam page today or tomorrow, and I’ll also post an announcement there so everyone following the game knows about the change.
More Posts Coming Soon
In the next few days, I’ll also make a couple of other posts.
One will be about Carnal Contract, where I’ll show you what I’m planning for the next update.
The other will be about the Exploration Mode coming in IHKY v6 and what exactly I’m planning for it.
And for the Exploration Mode post, I’ll definitely need your feedback. I have some ideas about how I want it to work, but I’d like to hear what you guys think before I finalize everything. 👀
So yeah… the Steam release is moving to February, but there’s still a lot coming before the end of this year. 😁

I Have Known You | v5.01 Dev Report 2 | October 2026
Hey Subscribers!
Let’s go with a new dev report! This one is coming a bit faster - the last one was only 15 days ago.
Unfortunately, this time I ended up working more on the older chapters than on Chapter 5 itself. 😅
But I think some updates are just like that. I’m listening to all the comments and feedback you’re giving me about the game, and when I notice something that feels off, I want to fix it. I can’t always catch everything on the first playthrough, so sometimes I have to go back, rewrite parts, add new scenes, or change things that don’t feel right anymore.
You don’t need to start the game from the beginning when v5.01 comes out. If you just want to continue the story, you can simply load your current save and keep going from where you left off.
And if you want to see all the new content, you can always fast-skip through the previous chapters and look for the new scenes and renders you haven’t seen yet. 😊
v5.01 - New Content
Chapter 5: 534 new renders
Previous chapters: 928 new renders
Upcoming FREE DLC with Molly: 102 new renders
Total:1,564 new renders added with next update!
So there will be over 1,500 new renders added across the entire game with v5.01 update, including the free Molly DLC!
Chapter 5
The story continues!
9 new scenes
534 new renders
3 animations
We now have a new police officer in Wildflower! And yes, she’s a redhead.
I wanted to introduce another character who can naturally fit into the world of Wildflower and potentially bring some new interactions and story opportunities in the future.
And who knows… maybe having a new police officer around town will be useful considering everything that keeps happening in Wildflower. 😂
But that’s not all. I also went back through some of the previous chapters and added a bunch of things.
Chapter 4:
Agnes will scratch yours chest regardless of your choice. If you refuse her, she does it out of anger. If you accept her, it happens as part of a sexual encounter.
I extended the chapter with one additional scene where Ashley is naked in the bathroom and you enter and accidentally see her. I’m still deciding if this scene will stay in Chapter 4 or I will move it to Chapter 5.
Chapter 3:
I felt that a few things were happening a little too quickly here, so I added some extra scenes:
When you go with Amy to visit Gina’s grandmother, there is now a new scene where Amy waits for you to get ready. I felt the original transition was a little too quick.
Before you can go to Rose with the donuts, there is now a short scene where you actually buy the donuts from a stand. They don’t just magically appear - you actually have to get them first. This also makes the whole sequence feel a bit more natural and believable.
After you go running, you’ll be able to watch Amy through the window while she is in the bathroom. Because, of course, you can’t resist being a little naughty sometimes.
Chapter 2:
There are quite a few changes here:
A new scene has been added where the crystal ball (you got from bank safe deposit box) accidentally gets crushed, revealing that something was hidden inside it.
Before you go looking for Gina in Moneys, there is a new scene that help connect the story a bit better. You’ll meet Gina at Jolene’s, where you can try to find out what she knows about everything that has been happening around Wildflower. I wanted to give this part of the story a little more room.
There’s also a new scene with Amy in the basement. Yes, you now actually have a basement/laundry room in your house, so I thought it was a good opportunity to use the location and add another small moment between you and Amy. This scene is not NSFW.
When you go to Moneys to find Gina, I changed a few things and extended the massage scene with her. You can now get a happy ending from her. 😉
I also updated the cemetery scene. Originally, this scene was more like a memory of you and your mother, but I felt it wasn’t really adding enough to the story in its original form, so I decided to change it. You’ll now meet Cairo Wildfeller there and have a conversation with her, which gives the scene a clearer purpose and connects it better with everything happening in Wildflower.
The new version of Cairo hasn’t been introduced in the game yet, but with this update, every scene and render featuring the old Cairo will be replaced with the new Cairo character. So you won’t have the old and new versions mixed together.
When you go to Luke to bring him the picture from Rose, I’ve changed the conversation between you and Luke to give it a bit more purpose and make it feel more relevant to the story. And when Luke goes upstairs, there’s now a longer and naughtier interaction with Molly. 😏 I felt this was a good opportunity to develop their relationship a little more while keeping the scene connected to the main story.
I also rewrote the scene where you return the ring Judy lost. The original version, with a big guy suddenly taking Judy away, felt too unrealistic (you also comment on that), and the dialogue between you and Judy didn’t feel quite right either. So I changed both the dialogue and renders to make the scene feel more natural.
Chapter 1:
And yes, even Chapter 1 is getting some changes:
I created a new scene with Agnes in the past, before she was arrested. It’s an NSFW scene showing a moment from her life. I’m still not 100% sure if I’ll include it in this update, but I’ll try.
I also extended the scene after Rose’s birthday party, when Billy attacks you. Cairo will now arrive at the scene, which is how you’ll meet her for the first time.
So yeah… I started with Chapter 5, but while going through the older chapters again, I kept finding little things that I wanted to improve, add, or change.
I think the game will feel much better with these additions, especially because some of the transitions felt too fast before.
Thank you for reading this long dev report! I hope you’re as excited about the next update as I am.
I don’t have a fixed release date yet, but I’ll try to announce it as soon as possible.

I Have Known You | v5.01 Dev Report | September 2026
Hey subscribers!
It’s time for another short progress report for I Have Known You.
Work on Chapter 5 is moving forward, but it’s been a bit slower than I would like.
Chapter 5 - Current Progress
403 new renders
3 animation
7 scenes
My estimate is that the next build will be ready once I reach around 600 renders. I’m getting closer, but there’s still quite a bit of work to do before I can call the update finished.
I’ll keep working on it and hopefully won’t keep you waiting too long. :)
I Took a Two-Week Vacation
I also want to mention that I took about two weeks off and went to the seaside to clear my head, relax, and take a proper break from development.
Because of that, progress was a little slower during this period than it normally would be.
But I’m back now, refreshed and ready to get back into production. 😄
My goal from now on is to increase my production speed to around 150 renders per week, so hopefully the next update will start coming together much faster.
Steam & GOG Release Date Update
One more important update regarding the release.
I currently have October 15, 2026 set as the planned release date for the Steam and GOG versions.
However, based on the current development progress, it looks like I’ll probably need to move the release to November.
I don’t want to rush the final part of development just to hit an October date. The game will be released this year, either in October or November, but at this point, November is looking more realistic.
I’ll keep you updated as we get closer and have a much clearer picture of the final release schedule.
If you remember, in my previous updates I mentioned that I was working on an NSFW scene with Molly on the train, which was originally planned to be included in the first chapter.
I planned to make this scene part of the main story, but after implementing it and playing through the beginning again, something felt off.
MC would basically have two NSFW scenes before he even arrives in Wildflower, and that made the opening feel much more focused on NSFW content than I intended.
That’s not really what I Have Known You is supposed to be. The story is about relationships, mystery, character development, and paranormal elements, with NSFW content being part of the experience rather than defining the entire beginning.
So I decided to remove Molly’s scene from the main story.
However, I don't want all the work that went into the scene to go to waste, so I’ll release it as an optional FREE DLC, similar to what we did with the Tiffany DLC.
This way, the scene will still be available for those who want to see it, while the main story can keep the pacing and tone I originally intended.
The DLC scene currently has 102 renders and 3 animations, so there’s still plenty of content going into it despite being removed from the main story. More about it soon!
Gina’s Scene - Massage at Moneys
I also decided to extend Gina’s scene, where you visit her at Moneys to get some information about the picture you found.
Originally, the scene ended after the innocent massage on her back, but I felt there was an opportunity to take it a bit further. You’ll now be able to progress further with the massage and give her a happy ending.
I know some of you would love to see Gina in a scene like this, so I thought it would be a nice addition to the game. 😉
Going Back Through the Entire Game
Something else I’ve been working on recently is proofreading and polishing the whole game.
While doing this, I noticed that some clues and parts of the storyline were there, but sometimes something didn't quite connect from one scene to the next.
There were moments where I knew what I was trying to communicate, but looking at it from the player's perspective, the connection wasn't always clear enough.
So I'm going back and fixing those parts.
I'm improving some dialogue, adding or adjusting small clues, fixing inconsistencies, and making sure that information introduced earlier actually flows naturally into what happens later.
I want players to be able to look back later and think:
"Oh... that's why that happened."
rather than:
"Wait, where did that come from?" 😅
This is taking some extra time, but I think it will make a noticeable difference to the overall experience, especially as the mystery and paranormal elements become more important in the later chapters.
Well… this was supposed to be a short dev report, but it seems it took off a bit. 😄
I hope you’re satisfied with everything I shared, and as always, please let me know in the comments if there’s anything else you’d like to see - or anything you don’t want to see - in I Have Known You.
Thank you as always for your patience and support. ❤️
