April 7th, 2026 Dev Log (PoS DLC MINI-RELEASE 2 Details!)

Prince of Suburbia Re-Impregnation "Knock Me Up Again!" DLC

We're excited to announce that we have the Mini-Release 2 release schedule set to start for next week! We just finished some of the last SFX/VA enhancement (courtesy of HentAudio) for the sex scenes to make the mini-release 2 sex scenes.

We will begin Early BETA for the Mini-Release 2 on Monday, April 13th for the $20+ tier and above.

Prince of Suburbia Re-Impregnation "Knock Me Up Again!" DLC Mini-Release 2 (BETA - ENGLISH ONLY):

April 13th $20+ tier Patrons/Subscribers

April 15th $10 tier Patrons/Subscribers

April 17th $5 tier Patrons/Subscribers*

NOTE: The Mini-Release 2 includes 5 NEW (never seen before) sex scenes and a special Catherine Sex Scene Prelude (Oh MY!). Keep in mind, the Catherine scene is NOT the full scene. The wait for the full scene in the final release is worth it. Trust me. To anyone still around that played the V0.8 update from the main game in Part 2, you know what's coming.

*You must be a $5+ Patron/Subscriber and have a lifetime minimum pledge of $10+ for this BETA Early Access to receive a download link to the build on April 17th and beyond.

The final DLC sex scene count will be at least 17 full sex scenes (not including additional unique sex animations and illustrations to go with each scene). The Catherine + MC sex scene that is planned is a MEGA sex scene that has enough in it to count for 4-5 sex scenes on its own. The final release when English development has finished (not this release) will have 17 full sex scenes will also include a few threesome sex scenes with characters together that have never been seen before!

This Prince of Suburbia Re-Impregnation "Knock Me Up Again!" DLC has a lot more effort going into it from a presentation perspective (art, sprite movement, etc). It is still a kinetic/railroad visual novel experience. The MC has a POV perspective (no MC sprite) to really give the beautiful new female sprites room to shine (and to literally make room for all those Big BOOBA!).

We have sex scenes voiced with erotic moans by HaruLuna, CinderDryad, and MimiHung! When you get a chance to play this mini-release 2 for the first time, we suggest restarting from the beginning of the DLC due to saves being broken and all of the new SFX/VA enhancements that have been added (for all sex scenes).

If you're interested in this DLC, please check out our store page up on Steam and if it looks appealing to you, we'd love it if you would wishlist it by clicking HERE! (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3593230/Prince_of_Suburbia__Knock_Me_Up_Again/)

It would help us a lot! Please understand that when development finishes on this entire DLC, it will be English only UNTIL we have time to translate it and put translated builds out.

Here's a little teaser for the prelude scene that will be in the mini-release 2. You know who has been waiting for you...

A Shot in the Dark: Chapter 4 BETA Release Info

Chapter 4 BETA Release

Early / BETA Release of Chapter 4 of A Shot in the Dark will start on Wednesday, March 27 for our supporters on Patreon and SubscribeStar:

-Wed, Mar 27 - $40+ Patrons & Subscribers

-Fri, Mar 29 - $20 Patrons & Subscribers

-Sun, Mar 31 - $10 Patrons & Subscribers

-Wed, Apr 3 - $5 Patrons & Subscribers

Remember, anyone with a lifetime pledge of $10+ also gets access to the Interactive In-Game Walkthrough Features + Hondo's Complete PDF Guide!

Official Public Release of Chapter 4 for players who own the game on Steam and Itch will happen in mid to late April, once we have had time to add Steam achievements and do further testing once those are added.

THIS IS A SAVE-BREAKING UPDATE!

WARNING!!! SAVES WILL BE BROKEN THIS UPDATE! Opening old saves will introduce bugs. Please plan to start a new game or use the Entry Points feature to avoid opening old saves. To be safe, please consider deleting your old save files: https://savelocation.net/renpy

We know broken saves are a huge inconvenience for players, but unfortunately we made too many changes to the foundation of the codebase for it to be avoided.

What's new in Chapter 4?

With this update we are adding:

-16 scenes, 9 lewd

-~55K+ words

-2,226 renders

-97 animations

-28 songs, 21 sfx

Ren'Py upgrade and code optimization

This update we upgraded from Ren'Py 7.4.11 to Ren'Py 8+ which allows us to take advantage of the newer optimization features Ren'Py has to offer! We also took this opportunity to refactor our code to integrate well with Crowdin and help automate the translation process.

New Achievements feature added

We've now added Achievements (which were previously only available via the Steam platform) to the game itself so that players on all platforms can access them! All players will get notifications when achievements are completed and can check in-game to see which achievements they have completed or not.

If you have the Walkthrough features purchased and enabled, you can also get hints for the achievements in-game.

Note: Only Chapters 1-3 currently have achievements implemented in the BETA version. Chapter 4 does not have achievements in the BETA version, but they will be added before we release on Steam and Itch in April.

Unlock All Memories feature added

We added the ability to Unlock All Memories with a toggle in the settings. We already had the feature that allows you Reset All Memories. These are quality of life features to help players who get stuck in bugged states, are playing on multiple platforms/devices that can't share saves, etc. Both can be found in the Options menu in the More tab.

Brand new GUI throughout entire game

Thank you to m. of Tsundere Studio for the complete GUI overhaul! We couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. Be sure to add their game to your Steam wish list: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1703610/I_Just_Want_to_be_Single/

Prince of Suburbia: V0.95 Early Release details!

Here is our SFW trailer for V0.95! You can find our NSFW trailer in this post: https://subscribestar.adult/posts/952168

Testing of the second beach update (V0.95) of Prince of Suburbia has been going smoothly! We will begin Early Release on Wednesday, July 5.

Part 2 - V0.95 (BETA) Early Release (ENGLISH ONLY):

Jul 05 $40+ tier Patrons/Subscribers

Jul 07 $20 tier Patrons/Subscribers

Jul 09 $10 tier Patrons/Subscribers

*You must be a $5+ Patron/Subscriber and have a lifetime minimum pledge of $10+ for Early Access. Changes in pricing and access to comply with Steam rules were explained last update.

Dates for Public Release (ALL LANGUAGES) on Steam and Itch will be announced later this month. Creating versions for all the languages we support on those platforms takes a few extra weeks of coding and testing.

The second beach update (Part 2 - V0.95) of Prince of Suburbia includes:

6 new scenes, 5 remastered scenes, ~19,000 words, 2 new backgrounds, 63 2D illustrations, 44 2D animations, 45 voice acting audio files

This update cycle included 3 fully remastered animated lewd scenes from Part 1 - V0.55 with Sonia, Heather, and Naomi. If you already saw the original scenes, you can access the remastered scenes in the gallery. 2 remastered non-lewd scenes with illustrations only were also added.

Development of the last story update (Part 2 - V1.0) is already in progress and is estimated to release Fall 2023!

We'd like to extend a special THANK YOU to those who helped with this update:

Auxiliaryout, for all the art and animations

HaruLuna, for the amazing voice acting

Mute Hazelnut, for writing the Catherine + Sonia, and Sarah + Fiona scenes

Rachel Writes, for writing the Samantha, and Samantha + Sarah + Fiona scenes

Kitty Kaplan, for writing the Catherine bonus scene

And all of our play testers who are helping with testing right now!

And, of course, a HUGE THANK YOU to our generous supporters who made this update possible!
