Goodbye 2025, Hello 2026: A Year of Voices, Mirrors, and Passion 🥂✨ December 31
Hey sweethearts, it’s Jesse! 💋
Can you believe it? Another year has flashed by. I’m currently sitting here with a glass of red wine (Dr. Mad is probably drinking coffee, as usual), looking back at everything we’ve been through together in 2025.
And oh my god, what a ride it has been. 🎢
We started the year recovering from a hard drive crash (remember that nightmare in January?), and we ended it by giving our characters a literal voice.
📊 2025 By The Numbers We crunched the data from the development basement, and frankly, the numbers are insane. This year, between the massive 0.4-P5 Beta and the P5-2 Update, we delivered:
-
Over 2,000+ new static HD renders added to the game.
-
Thousands of animation frames rendered (your GPUs might hate us, but your eyes love us 😉).
-
80+ Fully Voiced Animations — breaking new ground with Alice.
-
1 Major Translation Milestone: The game is now fully playable in Spanish! 🇪🇸
-
1 Virtual Expansion: Phoebe made her debut in Virt-a-Mate.
🏆 The Highlights of the Year This year wasn't just about numbers; it was about emotion.
-
Into The Mirror: We dove deeper into the lore than ever before. We met Jade (who is about to change everything) and saw a new side of Alice that—let’s be honest—stole the show in October.
-
We Found Our Voice: Adding voice acting to Alice’s intimate scenes was a huge risk, but your reaction blew us away. It changed the atmosphere of the game forever.
-
The Sound of Atmosphere: We started producing original songs! From the "Come and go" music video to the new tracks we are cooking up, the game sounds better than ever.
🚀 Looking Ahead: 2026 Goals So, what happens when the clock strikes midnight? We don't slow down. We accelerate.
We have massive plans for the upcoming year, and while we can't reveal everything, here is a taste of what’s coming:
1. Going Global: After the success of the Spanish translation, our goal is to translate the game into even more languages. We want Project Atmosphere to be played everywhere.
2. Full Steam Ahead: Yes, you heard us right. We are officially working towards a Steam Launch! 🚂
3. Top Secret Upgrades: We are tirelessly working on new ways to keep improving the core game experience... but for now, that remains a secret. (Trust me, it’s worth the silence 🤫).
4. The Story Continues: We are pushing forward with Jade’s storyline and preparing for Lilith’s dark, intense event that you all voted for.
💌 A Final Thank You To our Subscribers, our players, and everyone who dropped a comment or voted in a poll: Thank you.
Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just joined us, YOU are the reason Project Atmosphere keeps growing. You are the fuel for Dr. Mad’s late nights and the reason I keep smiling.
Raise your glasses, sweethearts. 🥂 Here’s to a naughty, exciting, and absolutely unforgettable 2026.
Happy New Year!
With all my love, Your Jesse (and the whole Dr. Mad team)💜
