K.O. Zone One (KZO) v0.3 - Release
Took a while, but it's finally ready!
This was probably the toughtest time I've ever had working on an update, although I'm really glad I managed to stick to the deadline of releasing this in April.
A lot of people helped, it would not have been possible without them.
I'd really like to thank everyone who offered playtest the game when I made the post for it, it really helped with morale. Then of course, a big thank you to the people who got in early and helped debug the game. The documents you put together helped massively.
Then, on the voice acting side of things - big thank you to ever excellent CinderDryad for producing a good chunk of the voice work in this update.
Nicole's dialogue and all of the secondary aggressor voice acting were performed by SultryLamp! Yet another talented VA I'm very glad to have discovered during the long search to find a good voice for Nicole.
Kadokawi drew this version's chibi loading spinner, it came out really well!
JackpotWriting wrote the totality of the script for Nicole's events. He's an absolutely phenomenal and extremely versatile writer. And the ever lovely StoryEdge put together over a thousand written dialogue lines for Ellen for when she's grabbed / grabbing characters, big thank you to both as well.
Last, but certainly not least, our resident animator Minko, responsible for all the incredible animation work in KZO and some earlier projects as well. Couldn't do it without him!
This update, similarly to the previous one, adds a bunch of stuff that would take a bit too long to go over in a post like this one. I really encourage you to give the changelog for v0.3 a read, you'll find it inside the game's folder once you extract the compressed files.
As always, you'll be able to find the download links for KZO in the 'dedicated-follower-downloads' channel of the Discord if you are subbed to the Dedicated Follower tier over here.

(The trailer for v0.3 will be uploaded on the Discord as well!)
If you have any issues accessing the links or any other difficulties, the best way to get help is DMing any of the Discord mods or myself, we're here to help.
Thanks for the patience guys, your support is everything. We just broke 10k members on the Discord the day before this update is going live, that's absolutely astonishing. You are the best.
I really, truly hope you'll enjoy KZO v0.3!

The game freezes after trying to "retry" the Nicole quests. Is there a workaround?
How do I turn the camera angle in grab mode? I can't figure it out!
Any plans on trying to add this to steam in the future? If so I’d be down to get this on it tbh
Hey, does anyone know why—despite purchasing the "Dedicated Follower" subscription on Patreon—I can't find the server to download the game?
Ive tried each one of the links to download an it still wont appear no matter how many different types of ways i try download please help or refund money spent thank you
If I buy the game on Itch.io, will I have instant access to future updates?
Also, there are some unavoidable bugs during gameplay. Some are mainly visual. For example, a character who has already been knocked down will still execute their pre-knockdown behavior — so you sometimes see a person who should be lying on the ground casually walking around on the street. A more serious and gameplay-affecting bug is related to levels. No matter how many times I save, when I restart the game my level always resets back to Lv.1. Loading the save file doesn’t fix it either. Interestingly, story progress and capture progress are preserved correctly, so only the level seems to be affected. It feels like something is going wrong with how level data is being saved or loaded. There’s another bug that can completely break the game: When I choke someone out and pick them up (the moment the screen goes black), if an NPC tries to grab me at the exact same time, both of us end up playing the “being controlled” animations. However, that NPC still runs normal civilian pathing code, so it walks around the street while stuck in the restrained pose (similar to the “lying on the ground but still walking” issue mentioned earlier). If I manage to break free from the struggle at that point, the game freezes completely and I can no longer move or do anything. I completely understand that this is a small development team, so these kinds of issues are hard to avoid. I just wanted to report them in case they’re helpful. Wishing you all the best with future development — I’ll keep supporting the game!
Hi, I really love your game, especially the control and restraint mechanics. However, I feel there are still not enough moves available. I’d love to see more actions added, both before and after someone is fully subdued — though I’m personally more interested in the pre-subdue phase, since taking someone down should require some technique and effort. I’d really like to see moves like: Triangle choke (using the legs to trap the opponent’s neck and arm to choke them out) Cross armbar / juji-gatame (a pain-based joint lock) Inverted shrimp hold / reverse shrimp (twisting and contorting the opponent’s body for pain and control) I know these are more fighting/grappling techniques from professional martial arts, but they still fit the “control” theme of the game. The question is how to make them feel natural in the gameplay. Maybe the attacker could start with a proper takedown like a shoulder throw, or simply a straightforward tackle/pounce to get into a dominant position. From there, the player on top could use those more technical holds. (Triangle chokes are usually applied by the person on the bottom, so it could also be interesting if the person who was being pinned wins the struggle and reverses the situation.) Even the simplest mount action — just pinning someone down and choking them with both hands — would already feel great. A lot of people enjoy this kind of competitive grappling where either side can win or lose the exchange. I’m one of them. I understand this would be a huge amount of work, and there might be technical or animation hurdles that make some of these ideas difficult or impossible to implement. Still, I’ll keep supporting the game no matter what. Even if these suggestions can’t be added, I hope this comment at least gives you some inspiration for more fighting/grappling-oriented control moves. Keep up the great work — this game really deserves to reach the success it should have!
Can download the newest version just won’t load
i cannot find the link
I wonder if we'll see more characters to select from?
My only wish if for there to be an option in the QTR display to show the arrow keys instead of ASDW. My brain is struggling to learn the letters at the speed in which it wants you to hit the buttons.
How long does it usually take until membership status updates on discord for the links?
Where can I find the password for the link?
Where can i find the download?
How do I launch the game. It’s that I downloaded the file, but it shows “Unityplayer.dll”?
I dont have access to channel any tips
New member, love the game. Spent the night unlocking the Ellen skin and I am just super excited for whatever else comes to this game, this game is like the utimate dom fantasy for me. Really hoping a Futanari option can make it into this game, the possibilities would be unimaginable.
Are your games voiced? Do you have android versions?
Starvy......npc's being able to interrupt you IS THE MOST ANNOYING THING ON THIS PLANET. Like you can't do ANYTHING without being attacked. Its to the point that when you join you get attacked with ALMOST A 1000% guarantee. I don't hate the npcs interrupting / attacking but nerf or do SOMETHING about it. And before anyone says "do it sneakily" THE NPCS are EVERYWHERE you will be caught 😁
How do I wear underwear like in the trailer?
WHY does my level go back to 0 everytime i close the game? i do save system yet when i close the game because of a bug and load the game and load saved im still at 0?
Hey how do i get the k.o game?
Bought the game on Itchi, is there any sort of debug mode? Game seems fun, but having some crash issues after playing a bit, which then resets my level back to 1. Making it impossible to get Ellen unlocked.
Hi, I'd love to play, but I don't know how to download it. Can someone help me?
it says its disabled
btw i wanna check it out more could u add the playback again
Will we get some hardcore stuff in this? I loved Termine.
Thank you so much for such a fun update! I've uploaded some videos on xvideos for it! Really hoping for Vivian or Dialyn to be playable
That is really appreciated!
I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but I don't feel like the the quicker QTEs or auto-win toggles seem to work effectively. I still have to do the QTEs if I don't want to wait forever. I think a better implementation would be to just have a "Dom" mode where you're able to walk around and essentially not get caught, at least by most NPCs. I really love the Dom'ing aspect of this, not so much the sub'ing parts, naturally as a Dom myself. I also find it frustrating how easy it is for other NPCs to come interrupt you as you're mid-way through tying someone up. But I'm probably in the minority here. I think the game is overall incredible besides that one part.
im with you on that
Hello, I can't access the Discord server. I was the victim of an attempted hack where advertisements were posted on the servers I was registered on, and I was banned from your Discord. I've now regained access to my account and the hack has been resolved. If you could please authorize my access to the Discord server again or provide another way to access the download links, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Don't worry, this has happened to a bunch of people. Send me or one of the mods a DM on Discord and we'll fix it
fingers crossed for a male player model in the next update
Few bugs surrounding getting caught whilst carrying someone. Occasionally get yeeted to the shadow realm, or you instantly become bound and it bugs position you're held in as a target.
Can’t get either Google Drive or mega to work.Downloads file but won’t extract it
Hello. I am not confortable to volunteer my data to disccord. Please give us access other way.

Send me or one of the mods a DM and we'll fix it
Hi, is there any size content in it ? Thanks
Bro the facesitting scene is SOOOO F#CKING HOT 🔥!! You've out done yourself man!! Keep up the good work!
I'm really glad you think so T^T That thing took so much effort...
Anyone else having issues downloading? As of time of writing the Google Drive link isn't working (for me), and MEGA won't let me download without installing their app. Despite the fact that I have a MEGA account.
Sorry abou this, I think my accounts on Drive and MEGA hit some kind of download limit, should calm down after a day or two
Is there any chance of getting an option where you can't get interrupted when you are grabbing someone? it get's quite tedious when they zoom to your location as soon as you grab someone... other than that this update is amazing!
same
