EDIT:

Not sure what the heck happened but a bunch of images were missing from the APK and full version. I've fixed and reuploaded. If you're seeing broken images on desktop, you don't need to re-download the full game, the upgrade pack is smaller and has all the images you'll need.

Content:

• New Fanmade Character: Tink, by EvilCrucifix
• New Portal Onahole and Time Stopwatch scenes for Sharly
• New wallbutt, and Denial Pill scenes for Marlow
• You can now visit Marlow's house
• New Threesome scene with Jasper and Garnet
• New short morning events for Sorbet and Marlow
• New jiggies and magazines obtainable via digging
• Added the Monster Fucker Permit, obtained by bringing a worm from the wilderness to the foxes
• Added new fuckable critters: Lurm and Fooba
• Added compatibility with Aranom's animated images mod

Other changes:

• Added new expression sets for Sorbet and Sharly
• Grouped old jiggies to make collection easier
• Added new content toggles for unusual insertion, all the way through, and weird content (weird toggle only appears after you've brought the unknown worm to the foxes)
• Individual jiggy categories now show obtained and completed counts.
• Replaced the trophy images for collecting all tarot cards and pocketmanz cards.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug affecting Riley, Sharly, and Bluebell which caused werid dialogue stuff.
• Fixed fetish settings not appropriately being set.
• Fixed Angelica's alternate outfits not having expressions.
• Fixed the jiggies easy mode button not appearing.
• Fixed Riley showing haircut options too early, and not appearing at all.
• Fixed random jiggies showing just a question mark block.
• Fixed a bug where digging in carnivore mode would freeze the game.
• Fixed some clothes being impossible to remove.
• Fixed the deity and fox jiggies not being obtainable.
• Fixed the tan skin option not matching the hyper dick or the default female face.
• Fixed a bug where the result images from the fire trio jiggy wasn't displaying.

Hey, wait a second, wasn't this supposed to be the update where I take it easy? I feel like I swindled myself here a bit.

This update ended up being a bit more work than expected, but I got in a lot of inpainting practice, so it all works out alright. Scenes like where you have sex with a fish and threesomes are a fair dinkum's more work than a normal scene, but they add a lot of variety.

So, some important details:

• To get tink's (currently only) artifact, it'll appear in gold chests just like the artifacts you've been bringing to Bluebell.
• To get the monster fucker permit, first make sure you have feral content enabled, then gather the unknown worm from the forest wilderness with the bug net. Bring it to the foxes! By default monster fucker/weird content is disabled and doesn't show in the total scenecount.
• Sorbet's new events and one of Marlow's are morning events. I raised the priority on them a bit to make obtaining them easier, but it still might take a hot minute.

Aranom's Animated Images mod:

As you may have seen in the mailbox, Aranom did a number of animated images for the game! If you're playing online or on the apk version, simply enable the animated images in the preferences menu. For download players, extract this and put the resulting images-mp4 into the Syrup Town folder, then enable the animated images in the preferences menu.

https://mega.nz/file/X2pShBLL#t8Wi_6-uGtaXELaseDCrnYj5HtXRz3bHTeuCC1M3KlU

That's it! Only a few shots across the game are animated, like in Sorbet's repeatable vaginal scene, a few with Helena, Sharly's new portal onahole scene, and a few Garnet images.

Tragically, I can't animate images myself. None of the comfyUI setups work with my palty 32gigs of ram, and prices are waaaaay to high right now. But that just makes Aranom's help all the more appreciated UwU

And speaking of appreciated, Tink! Her creator was having trouble writing the lewd scenes, so since wrote those and did the final pass over the non-lewd scenes, she'll definitely match my writing style a lot, but she's still Evilcrucifix 's character, so I hope you'll all enjoy her. Please feel free to drop into the discord or give me her feedback to pass along.

Upcoming:

• Nutmeg & Cinnamon, the last remaining core characters.
• More monster fucker permit usage.
• Adding the Plap Pal cards to the game proper.
• Getting invited to Khanna's home.
• More tellyvision

The next release is planned for January 9th, which happens to be my birthday! I have a lot planned, the game really needs a good cleaning to de-spaghettify the code, and there's quite a bit of things stuffing my idea backlog. I hope you'll enjoy v8, and v9 beyond!

And once Cinnamon and Nutmeg are done, all of the core cast will have their new models, and I'll be hopping to work on the non-furry version, I hope you'll enjoy that as well.

My next post will be uploading the rest of the No Nut November images onto here. I haven't figured out how to get inline images looking nice on here yet, so I'll probably spend a while working on that and overhauling my master index's looks. But I've also been posting finished pics to the discord and my twitter at https://x.com/NoodleJacuzzi so feel free to come hang out in either of those places.

Syrup Town v7.1 Hotfixes

Hello all! Just a real quick followup, people found a number of bugs in v7 so I whipped up a quick bugfix patch which should hopefully fix all of them:

• Fixed some characters like Riley having things like sp fashionista; in their dialogue
• Fixed a bunch of bugs involving the preferences menu genderswapping characters
• Fixed Mary-Lou appearing for carnivores
• Fixed the easy mode button disappearing from the jiggy menu (I did have to move it to the bottom though)
• Fixed a number of scenes like Bluebell's onahole and Riley's haircut scenes breaking and showing nothing
• Properly named the images folder in the upgrade packs this time

I already updated the online version, and updated the links from the v7 release post but here they are again if you need them:

As a reminder I will no longer be uploading the full PNG versions, they're getting too large for my awful speeds. The webp version of the game is still high quality and includes prompt keywords in the .txt files in the images folder.

Content:

• New Character: Khanna, the Tiger Nun
• New Artifact: Tellyvision
• New Tellyvision shows: Bitch Medicenter - The Catgirl & Futa Fight - ROOBY
• Added a bunch of new Tellyvision commercials
• New scenes for Jasper and Garnet
• New Mimic encounters while digging
• 40+ new jiggies available via digging
• 3 full new outfits available via digging, with special collage jiggies for collecting them all
• Replaced the old placeholder collectables with new ones (sex-able collectables will be coming later)

Other changes:

• Added a quick shortcut to your last location in the morning.
• Overhauled the player's expressions across all three skintones to make them more distinct.
• Added category buttons to sort the jiggies.
• Moved a number of the v6 jiggies into chests so you collect multiple at once.
• Changed the collectables categories to "Fruit, Critters, and Treasures".
• You can now actually collect the treasures obtained via digging.
• You can now use fruit from the inventory directly to restore stamina.
• All old placeholder items have been deleted.
• Added a mailbox to the player's home, mostly for updates and news.

Bugfixes:

• Several unobtainable jiggies such as Gobbo supremacy are now properly available.
• Fixed a bug where Helena would appear on the carnivore route.
• Fixed broken images in the fetish select menu.
• Fixed getting the wrong items when starting a carnivore and vegetarian save.
• Fixed the fetish menu breaking in the collection room.
• Fixed Riley showing his haircut scenes even if you haven't triggered their starting event.

Upcoming:

• Sorbet, Sharly, and Nutmeg & Cinnamon are the last characters who need model updates.
• Re-checking the color sets for clothing.
• Adding the Plap Pal cards to the game proper.
• Getting invited to Marlow's and Khanna's homes.
• Foxes double blowjob scene.
• Monster fucker license.
• Rewriting logbooks

Khanna was a shockingly difficult character to write. Sometimes I get by on the seat of my pants, some characters were even first draft and then done, but I just wasn't satisfied somehow. In the end even though I didn't go the exact way I planned I really feel like I cooked with her, though I'm very interested to know what you all think!

This update also includes the WIP version of my prompt generator in the Technology wing of the museum, the goal there as I brought up before is to make it easier to get into generating images. There's still an absolute ton of work to do, but at least working on it also makes my own generations faster!

Speaking of, jiggies! Lots of subscribers sent in tons of requests and I had a blast doing them, and I'll be continuing to make more. If you're a subscriber feel free to message or DM me, though the best place to do so is over discord so I can run in-progress versions by you. I've been posting finished pics to the discord and my twitter at https://x.com/NoodleJacuzzi so feel free to come hang out in either of those places.

We're on the last set of characters left before all the cast has their new models, I may take it easy on this next one. Is it even possible for me to make an update of the game without overhauling something or starting some brand new massive project? We'll have to see! Here's a rough outline of my immediate plans:

And finally before I forget EvilCrucifix volunteered to help create a character, and here's a few previews of her:

Sorry for the delay! A lot's on the table so I really had to lock in. Still:

Upgrade Pack from v4 to v5 (png version): https://mega.nz/file/7iwQ3SIL#r54og0X_klS9Z327yfX6WUfPmAWdSXMy9vICE5GZec4

Content:

• New Character: Mary-Lou the Cow Girl
• 3 New scenes for Riley
• 2 New Scenes for Helena, and you can now visit her house
• 22 New morning microscenes across the whole cast (don't appear in gallery!)

Other changes:

• New character models and expressions for Cayenne and Riley
• New preferences menu added in the settings, currently allows you to toggle vegetarian/carnivore modes, and separates carnivore mode so people who don't like femboys can still have dickgirls
• Added selectors for the system character genders to the new preferences menu
• Music and sound now use volume sliders instead of buttons

Fixes:

• Changed the app logo to ST instead of the old SV
• Fixed Helena's logbook checking the wrong character

Known issues:

• Toggling feral content in the preferences currently does nothing, since it's meant to work with the new cards I haven't implemented yet.
• Some content (like the foxes) is still reliant on carnivore/vegetarian mode, instead of the more specfic fetish toggles in the preferences menu. I'll need to rewrite the scenes which use those checks for v6.

This update ended up being way more veggie-heavy than expected due to Mary-Lou. Because adding the pregnancy-focused character without any pregnancy content would have been very silly, I completed not only her intro but all the way to being invited to her house.

There's a ton of areas where I've started dabbling, but am not far enough in that I can actually add content. So:

Upcoming content:

• Bluebell needs a new model the most of the remaining old model cast, so she'll probably be one of the main characters of v6.
• The new cards and card system need more work, so I reverted back to the old Pocketmanz cards. All the new palcards are in the game files in the neocards folder in the images.
• I want to have future Helena scenes take place on a second tour of the town, but that's a fair bit of work to actually fill out what you'll do when touring around with her. So she's got a few scenes waiting for me to implement them.
• I worked up a prototype of the digging minigame from pokemon gen 4 and have been brainstorming exactly what to have you find in them:

• Aranom from the discord was playing with Wan2.1, an image-to-video model some Syrup Town scenes a shot. They posted their workflow so if I can get it working myself maybe animating the game is in the cards? Especially since Wan2.2 just released, here's two of the shots they posted:

• I made it for myself to avoid all the lag on mobile when trying to use Stable Diffusion over a network, so I made my own UI to bypass needing to use Gradio:

And all this in addition to all the other things on my to-do list, hoo boy! Lots to do, lots to do! I don't have a lot of experience writing pregnancy, so please feel free to give suggestions for Mary-Lou scenes.

Riley's new content is a pretty good example of how characters will get new content, a short sidequest full of nonlinear scenes. And finally, I wanted to put the new morning scenes into the gallery but given they're very short, only appear randomly, and I may make the hot morning ones only appear in the summer and do seasonal stuff, I kept them out of it. If you'd prefer I do something different with them, lemme know!

• Changed the formatting of save titles, new saves now display things like scenecount. (All are still backwards compatible)
• Added a new Tan skintone that looks closer to the old dark skintone.
• Added items to Bluebell's store that let you change your skintone and bodytype.
• Replaced Mary-Lou's magazine to reflect her upcoming design.

  I was so close to releasing this in May! The update's probably still buggy, but I hope doing some polishing of the mobile version was worth it for a less buggy release.

I mentioned it last time but the expression sets are waaaaay more time consuming than I expected. It could mean that the non-furry version will have to wait a bit longer, or I could not include outfits for its first release. Only Angelica and Helena have new models at the moment, but for v5 I plan on updating Bluebell, Cayenne, Sharly, and Mary-Lou for sure.

I also wanted to add proper tarot readings using all of Sharly's new cards, but that'll have to wait for a future update. Angelica and Helena were both pretty mechanically complex characters.

Angelica's content continues exactly where she left off. Each day her lust will passively increase, and talking to her while it's maxed will lead to a scene. Otherwise, she'll give one of her non-horny chats.

Helena takes you on a tour of the town. You get scenes over time when getting the tour / gathering things with her, but to actually progress you need to tour the forest orchard and get that special scene.

Future Content

Progress progress progress!
Actually, there's enough planned for v5 that maybe I should split it into two smaller updates for more frequent releasing?
Though, new characters are usually a lot more work than adding to an existing character...

In any case there's also the part 2 for even further beyond content:
However there's a few things extra I haven't put on that list yet:

• Making different skintone variants for all the images with disembodied hands/crotch pov
• Adding text to all the game's repeatable scenes
• Rewriting the logbook to be less vague and more accurately reflect the progression of each character
• More jiggies

With those in mind, what kind of stuff should I prioritize? Anything you think I missed? All feedback is welcome, I hope you'll enjoy v4!

Mobile .apk for Android Devices: https://mega.nz/file/bihGUDiK#qQjrON-b1joeKXDHx-nJrJxFFWXJ8qT2Ie7xKODyWtY

New Content

• The Quinn Massage Parlor arc continues, ending with you overcoming his final challenge, sorry the scene is so long, I split it into 3 parts for easier review
• Added a full B-route to the quinn massage parlor, where you refuse to bring in anyone to his parlor, and instead have his own attendants do the breaking for you. This adds a new scene for each of them and still unlocks the original A-route scenes with some text differences
• Dahlia returns after her stay at the parlor, with a new scene and her old placeholder status quo replaced
• Added 8 new scenes with the gyaru trio Ginger, Goldie, and Raven, 3 on the rooftop and the remaining 5 at night.

Other changes

• Removed the text and sound effects from that one Abba kneeling image
• Added a memorial hall to the school entrance to the patrons since my patreon page went down, along with a subscriber plaque as well (I copied Syrup Town's code)
• Added a chunky's meal to reset Quinn so you can do alternate route stuff/bring other people

Bugfixes

• Fixed Gekka and Eva appearing in versions they shouldn't
• Fixed the broken alternate styles on the mobile client
• Fixed a bunch of typos and misgenderings
• Fixed a bug preventing you from getting Saffron's completion text
• Installing the .apk will no longer overwrite syrup town's installation (dear god was this a rabbit hole)

Thoughts & Ramblings

Geez louise I'm really sorry this took so long. This update was meant to be a short wait, I was even hoping to do a release on the same month as the last syrup update, but med shortages, exhausting IRL stuff, and my brain not wanting to stop hyperfixating on syrup, and the months just flew by...

Meds aside, Quinn and the trio were honestly really bad choices to focus on for the update, as they are some of the hardest characters to work with. I very rarely need to do multiple drafts of the core concept of a character, but Quinn just never satisfied me. Going for a supernatural angle, making him super arrogant, I bounced around a lot and it didn't help that his image set is really limiting. There's a ton on the cutting room floor for him.

And the gyaru trio were really hard to do as well. Their initial plan was to at some point add a prostutution mechanic. You'd enable a toggle and then get random morning/night scenes of them streetwalking/whoring, and you'd get some free money. Those scenes would progress the popularity score, but if you didn't wanna do them you could just do repeat scenes and get enough points that way, but...

Is that fun? Players certainly don't need money anymore, there'd basically be nothing to write, and alone the trio lose their ed edd & eddy dynamic

It felt really weird to just drop what was originally planned as their main thing, but it'd be 10x weirder to invest time into a mechanically complex thing I have absolutely no love for. Especially when I could instead write syrup, or rainy, or even just add chat scenes with the trio just chillin'. But that also means that their image set held them back a lot, since really the only images I had left to use were the ones I had initially planned to use in prostitution. That, plus the disguises, hoo-ee...

And maybe I'm spoiled by syrup, but man I wish I could have cut away for a shot to show the two other girls making out or something, or do another angle to spice up the scene. I really like the control syrup gives me. Here's an example of a new Raven scene compared to a syrup town scene I finished the other day:

Really though, the delay is because I wanted this update to feel great because of how long it took, and those higher standards left me totally blanking on what to do, and eventually I just decided to get it done no matter what. Sorry if the update isn't as big or as good as you hoped.

Important Notice regarding AI

So, as I brought up before (several months ago goodness gracious...) I used generative AI to alter (though mostly uncensor) multiple shots in Quinn's storyline. I didn't have a chance to use most of the images I worked on though as after I hit that finale point I immediately shifted to working on the gyaru trio, and the image I used as an example didn't make the cut. Here it is though:

It's probably the most extreme change, though, mostly it's just uncensoring.

While I do work on games that have AI content, I don't plan on making Hentai University an AI-centric game. I'm still trying to find a good way to allow all of the uncensorings to be opt-in since I know a lot of people don't want any AI at all. If it makes you feel ick I encourage you to support the artists directly instead of me, there's links to their pixivs and dlsites in the logbook. Still, I'm not sure what to do here. I thought about some kind of toggle that uses the original censored versions as backups, but that'd potentially double the game's filesize, and I can't really offer a downloadable file replacement for an apk version. Plus, what about images like the above? Do I use the original ugly bastard image or do I manually censor the version I had the AI make?

I don't blame anyone who hates AI at this point, I really wish the situation around it weren't so heated, I just want to make porn... Really, I'd rather make a whole new game, maybe a Hentai University 2 or a spiritual sucessor if I wanted to lean into AI content. Not just because HU's engine is showing its age, but also so that people don't get gangboarded into a game they like suddenly being associated with something they don't. Maybe I'm overthinking this, I'm so tired...

Speaking of, because this update took me so much longer and it was so much harder to get myself in the groove than expected, I think I should def focus more in on syrup town and not try to juggle two games for at least a little while. But I don't want to leave hentai university fans dry, and most of the feedback I've gotten is that many university players don't mesh well with syrup's visuals even in the non-furry mode. While I like shortstacks, the whole point of the mode was to try and offer something to peeps who don't vibe with syrup as a fluffy animal paradise.

Potential Syrup Town Artstyle Rework?

It'd be a huge worry off my mind if I could still offer fun gaem to hentai university fans without needing to keep adding to the older engine, and hentai university 2 would be a pretty massive undertaking. Maybe going for taller character designs with a less cartoony artstyle would help university fans transition better to syrup town enjoyers?

On the left is the current non-furry mode artstyle, on the right is a mockup I did.

The original images didn't include any ears or tails, so I've actually been thinking about redoing them for a while now, but it seemed like way too much work for such a little change.

But, even if this is the plan, there are lots of challenges beyond just "generate taller":

• Finding a workflow to getting the images tall enough to have their full body standing without sacrificing face detail, like some kind of outpainting to draw the legs and feet separately, otherwise the faces will be too small to be expressive
• Upscaling the standing shots without the weird resolution messing things up
• Making normal proportioned characters look nice when my default style is shortstack/chibi
• How should I handle extra ears? Especially on Helena and the foxes, who have super short hair. They look weird with a smooth side of the head where her ears should be.

I generated a few others in the same style as above so I'd be able to workshop ideas with you all:

v33 was pretty exhausting to work on and despite how silly it sounds, I actually found it relaxing to take breaks from working on HU by working on syrup town instead. The games are, tonally, similar enough that if you like HU you'll probably like syrup, so I think the big turnaway is the art style?

Please lemme know what you think, and thank you again all so much for your patience. I'll be taking a short break without stimulants to rest and fix my sleep schedule since I maybe picked up a few bad habits trying to make v33 feel perfect, and after that, Syrup Town v3. Polls and design posts too! Plenty to do, plenty to do.
