Mini Dev Update - August 2026
Before we begin with the Chapter 10 update, some news of the Steam release.
So, I dropped the Season 1 Steam release on Monday, and so far, it has been going rather well. We tickled the Steam algorithm sufficiently with 10 positive reviews within 24 hours, and again, with 50 reviews and upgraded the review score to Very Positive within roughly 72 hours.
We hit a peak of 267 concurrent players which is a pretty decent number when I compare it to how other AVNs of my scale have done (we’ll just ignore that certain big boy AVN - that’s about to drop a new update - that has a ridiculous concurrent player peak of 5000+).
And we, very briefly, cracked the Popular New Releases list… look:
But as the person who alerted me to this said, I don't quite know how I'm going to compete with Swarm Bunker: Lust Defense (and who knew there were sexy tower defense games now too. The mind boggles).
Anyways, it’s still too early days to confirm whether I’m less concerned about losing my job and focusing on Origin Story full-time now, but things are looking very positive.
So, thank you so much to everyone who has purchased a copy of the game on steam, and an extra thank you to those that have also left a review. But, there’s still a ways to go. At the point of writing this, only 8% of the people who have wishlisted the game have actually bought a copy… and only the tiniest fraction of people who have bought it have left a review. So, please do what you can to support the game on steam and help it excel.
Now, onto…
Chapter 10 Progress
Current render count: 2346
Tasks remaining:
Post-work: 52% complete
Additional lewd writing: 50% complete

Additional: Still need to implement all new special renders and lewd scenes into the galleries.
Testing: Obviously, not done yet.

Your game is amazing. The writing is surprisingly deep. I was not at all expecting depth in Lucia. What a pleasant surprise
Well, I can't see any NSFW games on my list 🤣. Does it depend on the games you've recently played or the majority of games you've already bought? I see games like Palworld, Fields of Mystria (great game), MARVEL Tokon and so on, games from other genres that don't compete with Origin Story 🤔🤷. I'm part of the 92% who haven't bought Origin Story yet 😥🙏, but I'm going to do so today. As it happens, the new experiment from the creators of Pokémon was released on the same day as Origin Story (the one with the asian girl who travels with the white wolf that looks a lot like Moonsong's doggy 🐺). As an old "Souls" player, I got hooked on that and lost track of time. But it's finally time. I'm going to play Chapter 8 of Origin Story! I want to find out what Parker did with our blood sample 😶🌫️🩸!

Congratulations JDOR, you deserve all the success, I knew that you would kill it on steam, your game is amazing ❤️💪😎
😁🔥👍🏻 GL, JD 🫡.
Congrats on the Season 1 release! Would love to grab it on Steam, but sadly I'm in Germany and the game isn't even visible in the store here due to local laws! Would you consider a direct purchase option with a Steam key for those of us affected?
I bought the game on Steam today. This game has many potentials, and I hope you will not abort this project.
👌🏼💯🔥
