News & Game Dev Update #8
Hey everyone! ✌️
Here’s a big update for you that I’ve been working hard on. I’ll try to keep future updates shorter so you don’t have to read a novel every time. So, here’s the overview:
▪ General
▫ The basic design for Pixel Toes and Unspoken Bonds has been updated again to match the current stage of development.
▫ Categories have been revised to fit both current and upcoming content.
▫ "Unreleased!" (T2) now has its own category.
▫ All posts that no longer align with the current direction of Pixel Toes are not deleted, you can find them in the "Archive," including the Riddle Fall Comic.
▫ I’m aiming to make the channel more professional moving forward, as you can already see in this post.
▫ The Unspoken Bonds story is getting some teasers. What might seem random now will make more sense soon, you’ll see.
▫ The character model for "Asami" has been revised and improved. As you can see, she’s now part of the story. More characters will be updated and added in the future.
▪ New Supporter Content!
▫ Exclusive Wallpapers: Supporters (T1) will now get additional freestyle wallpapers featuring our models in 4K. These will range from cyberpunk to kinky, depending on my mood. They’ll be released regularly but not on a set schedule.
First release: Friday, June 13, 2025
▫ Pin-Up Calendar: Supporters (T1) will also receive a monthly digital pin-up calendar. The artwork will also be available as a wallpaper without the calendar dates.
First release: Tuesday, July 1, 2025
▪ Tier Changes
Info: Why the changes?
It’s time to give supporters more in return and create additional ways to support the project. I’m not doing this out of greed, but please keep in mind that even though this is a hobby, there are costs involved, like assets (even if I edit them), Adobe, energy bills, etc. These small amounts add up, and I’m trying to cover those costs. If you’re interested in supporting the development of these art and game series, you’ll now get even more in return!
▫ There will still be plenty of free content under the Free Tier!
▫ "Wiggle" (T1): The support amount has been slightly increased. In return, you now get access to the "XXXTRA Material" wallpapers and the "Pin-up Calendar."
▫ "Bare Feet" (T2): You get access to the "Unreleased!" series, featuring exclusive B-sides and unpublished artworks from both old and new series.
▫ "Worship" (T3): You’ll get behind-the-scenes insights into the development of Unspoken Bonds with the "Making-Of" series. Note: This will start at a later date, so please keep that in mind.
▫ T4/T5 Tiers: In the future, you’ll get access to alpha and beta versions of the visual novel. The game is still in development, and there’s no release date for the first version yet. I’d recommend waiting to see if you really like the game before jumping in.
▪ What’s planned for the coming weeks and months?
▫ A "Commission Tier" where you can get exclusive artworks featuring our models
▫ First animation tests
▫ Final story reveal
▫ Early access release of Unspoken Bonds version 0.01
