The Game's Release Schedule and the Developer's Confession!
Hello, everyone!
As you may have noticed, our latest updates aren’t coming out as often as they used to—or as often as you’d like.
Right now, updates are being released a week later for patrons at lower tiers. I did this to protect the project from being leaked to pirate sites, even though I understand that those sites can also be a source of traffic. However, we don’t use any security measures besides encryption, so it’s not hard to break into the project.
I understand that this approach might upset some people, and some might think this is just another project trying to raise money. However, that’s not the case.
When we first started this project, I thought it would be a small simulator, a half-year’s worth of work, which I’d build using a ready-made solution. However, my desire to make a game with adult content and unique mechanics won out.
I have a small team that started development out of enthusiasm; everyone has their own lives, jobs, and families. And every week, no matter what, I write dev logs about our game, detailing what we’re doing and how we’re doing it.
We’ve now built up an impressive audience—one I didn’t have across all my social media platforms combined—and your support for the project is invaluable; thanks to it, we’ve been able to hire voice actors to add voices to the game. I’ve also found a talented artist who’s working on improving the in-game scenes by refining the character anatomy. Even when I went through a period where I had nowhere to live, your donations helped me get through that time.
To everyone who thinks this project is a long-running development, I’ll say this: we’d like to add more unique content and more mechanics to the game, since I have plenty of ideas and plans.
However, right now we’re planning to finish the version that will go into Early Access on Steam; this version will feature a couple of alternate endings, as well as more stable localization into Chinese and Korean.
If supporting our project becomes difficult for you, then you can simply purchase the game on Itch.io, since, for example, the game is blocked on Steam in a number of countries. Currently, version 0.3.0 is available as a one-time purchase for $15.
Just like on Steam, this is a one-time purchase, and all future updates—with the exception of DLCs—will be free.
I'm not trying to squeeze money out of you, and I really appreciate your contribution to the project's development, because without your help, I don't think we would have reached our current level. Even though the project isn't perfect right now and has a bunch of bugs, we're working on it—we've spent the last two months fixing them and making improvements.
By the way, I've added a 50% discount on the Iron-level patronage, which will give you access to version 0.3.0
Feel free to share your ideas and suggestions in the community chat or via private messages to the author—I'm open to discussion.

Is there a file where you can see how each potion is prepared?
I appreciate the post. And sorry If I was too imposing before. Since it was not communicated about the decision of increasing the wait between tiers and compounded with the launch on itch.io with no notice to the backers I was not happy but now I know there was no malice involved and it had happened because PotionMaster having justifiable other personal priorities. I do believe the devs should have freedom to decide their projects and I do support when they do so. But when there is lack of communication it makes we have to guess why. Now I was given the reason and I apologize to Potion Master If I was so imposing on him it made him give me personal info about his life. What I tried to do was show that a little communication with no need to provide a reason or justify. Just let us know a decision was made is better then to have us guessing why it is taking longer or why we where not notified before. This post was all I wanted but I regret I ended making him divulge to me personal reasons and making him doubt the decision of increasing the scope of the project. Apologies.
so i dont mean to bother again but what is the potion that turns the mc into a futa
"Horse Size" potion
Honestly, you all have been making such an amazing work of art that we will support you guys no matter what path you take. All that we do ask is that you keep doing what you are doing and to remember to take care of yourselves.
You guys went a long way to get where you at which yeah was not easy but you and your team found success. Still take your time and not fast track or crunch around the game but focus on quality first than quantity. Keep up the good work.
