Prince of Suburbia: Pregnancy DLC Update

It's been a hot minute since we talked about our future plans for Prince of Suburbia with all of you, hasn't it? We appreciate your patience in waiting to hear about what's next.

Let's start off with the unfortunate news first. For those that don't already know, we parted ways with auxiliaryout (the most recent artist and animator for Prince of Suburbia) a few months after the release of V1.0 (the end of the main story). He is a talented artist and animator and we wish him the best of luck with his future endeavors!

So, that brings us to the next order of business. We are looking for a new illustrator and animator to help us continue the Prince of Suburbia story with a Pregnancy DLC!

We've spent a lot of time reflecting in the past year about what players want and expect when they play Prince of Suburbia, and how to deliver the best experience possible. With that in mind, our two priorities when it comes to the future art for Prince of Suburbia are:

• An illustrator who specializes in MILFy type characters (aka BIG BOOBAS), big belly pregnancy, and adult breastfeeding/milky breasts content.
• An animator who specializes in Spine. The main game was animated using Live2D, and we feel like we pushed it to its absolute limits in terms of quality. Our understanding is that Spine has a higher ceiling in terms of quality and we want to explore that potential.

Do you have any illustrators or animators you'd like to suggest we reach out to? Let us know!

We have also obviously been compiling our own list of artists we want to approach. Once we have a shortlist of artists we want to audition, we'll commission a few illustrations/animations from them and seek input from our community before moving forward.

This is your chance to help shape the future Prince of Suburbia Pregnancy DLC! We look forward to sharing more news with you as things develop, stay tuned!

Prince of Suburbia: Special Community Items

Happy Valentine's Day from ViM Studios!

We have some new special treats for our Prince of Suburbia fans!

Last year we commissioned artwork for Steam community items (badges, etc) for Prince of Suburbia only to learn that Steam does not approve community items for Free-to-Play games without in-game purchases!

Since we already had them already made and ready to go, we figured we would release them to fans on all our platforms. We hope you enjoy!

You can download all of them on MEGA: https://mega.nz/folder/bSZkwKxJ#Ec1Ym1fFxDrf0I7MRGF-Mw

Check out our Valentine's Day posts from last year for more treats for fans of both of our games!

Prince of Suburbia: Dev Log 17-Nov-2023

We are now doing weekly dev logs, but alternating between our two games. This week, it's all about Prince of Suburbia, and next week we'll give an update on A Shot in the Dark.

V1.0 coming to Steam and Itch on Monday, Nov. 20

The final update (V1.0) of Prince of Suburbia will launch on Steam and Itch on Monday, November 20! We can't wait for the fans and players on those platforms to see the conclusion of the Prince of Suburbia story.

Right now, TheOmega and our amazing testers are making sure there are no bugs or issues now that all of the translations for V1.0 have been added to the game. So far, all the issues have been relatively minor and it should be ready for release on Monday.

Note: V1.0 is a game-breaking update due to the new GUI. Using old saves, even if they open without error, will cause errors later on. Please start a new game or use one of the jump in points in the title menu rather than opening old saves.

The V1.0 update includes some remastering in Part 1, including 16 illustrations, 8 animations, and 115 voice acting files. Now every lewd scene in the entire game has voice acting featuring HaruLuna! The V1.0 update will add 8 new scenes to finish Part 2, with about 20K words of dialogue, 39 illustrations, 23 animations, and 33 voice acting files. All of the GUI was completely redone with this update, as well.

The remastered content added to Part 1 (FREE DEMO) will be available to access directly from the gallery if you have already unlocked those scenes (you will not need to replay any scenes you've already played). The new content added to Part 2 is a free update for anyone who has purchased the entire game on Itch or the Part 2 DLC on Steam.

(Note: If you downloaded V1.0 from Patreon or SubscribeStar, there is no new content in the Steam and Itch versions. All that was added is the translations to other languages.)

What's next for Prince of Suburbia?

V1.0 completes Part 2 and the main story of Prince of Suburbia. We want to make sure there are no major bugs or issues in the game (especially in the translated/localized versions) before we leave Early Access on Steam, but that is our next goal. The plan is to work on that in early 2024.

After Prince of Suburbia has left Early Access on Steam in early 2024, we will begin development on the additional Pregnancy DLC content. Stay tuned for more on that next year!

Prince of Suburbia: Dev Log 03-Nov-2023

When we started Prince of Suburbia in 2017 as a side hustle hobby project, we had no idea what it would become. While the project has had many ups and downs over the years, we couldn't be happier with where it ended up. We are incredibly excited and proud to have brought it across the finish line!

Thank you to all of our fans and supporters for coming along with us on this journey! The Prince of Suburbia story may be complete, but as a studio we are just getting started.

Early Release for V1.0 for Prince of Suburbia on Patreon and SubscribeStar went smoothly! Thank you for everyone who has reached out to let us know how much they enjoyed the update and to report bugs.

Last week we generated the machine translations of V1.0 into all supported languages. Our generous volunteers are currently working hard to edit and improve the translations. Once the translated scripts are proofread, we'll implement them into the game and begin testing builds in all languages. If you're interested in helping with the translation process, please reach out to us on Discord (https://discord.com/invite/7BtkMQCRmV)!

The final update (V1.0) to the game will available on Steam and Itch.io in all supported languages after testing is complete (likely in late November). Anyone who has purchased the Part 2 DLC on Steam, or owns the paid version of the game on Itch, will receive the new content as a free update to the game as soon as it's ready.

As always, thank you for all the support! We couldn't do this without you.
