Dev update 09/02/2025 - We're close!
Hey guys,
This will most likely be the last dev update I do before the release. I finished the NTS scene (there's still some small additions I need to do to that scene and post scene to really make it shine.) It's currently with my proofreaders in order to really polish that part up. I do want to mention and make sure that we're all on the same playing field. Do not expect Alice/Luke to make massive jumps through the whole NTS progress. Things will get progressively more naughty every chapter, but I don't want to skip certain steps in progression. The journey of both characters becoming more and more corrupt, is something that needs time. Could you cook a pizza in 5 minutes? Sure, but it won't taste as good as one that's had plenty of time to cook.
Anyway, I'm currently working on the second to last scene and since I have more time to work on the game, I should be able to finish most of it by Sunday. (including the final scene).
While not as big as Chapter 5, this chapter serves its purpose and is pretty high quality, even if I say so myself. I'll announce the changelog sometime next week when everything's finished + the release dates. The release will most likely be next week, not sure what day yet, but I'll keep you guys posted.
Ending a chapter is always a moment to take a breather and get my priorities straight for the next. Either way, thank you for the support. Your patience and continued support has been invaluable to both me and the rest of the team. Thank you so much for supporting this game's development and for those of you who can't support the game financially, thank you for playing it and providing feedback.

Dear developer, can we expect an update next week?
I like the way you design the progress. And with the different ladies around and the ones you are planning to add, I'm sure we will have a lot of fun on the way. Alice also, guess the guys coming will challenge her more and more
i'm enjoying the game. ALso the story is good. I would like to se more about Anny
Ich mag es eigentlich wenn es ordentlich zur Sache geht .. dieses ewige hin und her mag ich gar nicht .. ich mein das ist Kapitel 6 .. 6!!! Wie lange soll es dauern bis Luke und Alice erkannt haben was sie möchten?! 🤣 das beide perverse Freaks sind macht es ja so interessant .. und mal im Ernst .. wer könnte sich schon bei Frauen wie Kate, Rhea und Sophi zurückhalten? 😏 Aber gute Arbeit braucht Zeit .. das stimmt .. und solange du in der Qualität weiter am abliefern bist habe ich keine Einwende! ♡
Hey Abyss im happy you're going well and that you have more time now . May i ask , ch5 was approximatly 1h 30 or 2h gameplay with all text for me, can you say how long will be ch6 for you approximatly or is it too soon? Thanks for your hard work friends.
Probably 45 mins-1 hour if I have to guess, there's quite a few sex scenes and animations. I think the total render count will be around 450-500 excluding the 50 animations.
Slow cooking is fine, but neither is making something that is too obviously an NTS work too long. Both points of view are fine.
I think as long as there is NTS progression every chapter, most people will be satisfied. I think, especially within this genre, too many people start something and then never finish. I think a lot of the small community this genre has, has been burned/betrayed by other developers, so they're scared things will go nowhere. Now I can't predict the future, but as long as I live to see the end of next year, I expect SoA to be finished at some point next year.
I like the slow burn. Blurring the Walls is my favorite nts game rn because of the slow burn.
blurring the wall slow burned so much that he remade the game for 9 months lol
its getting hot in here
Completely agree on the slow burn factor being important! That said... Pick a different food metaphor, a great pizza in a legitimate pizza oven does cook in about five minutes!
Stew or soup. Chili maybe. 😋
Very exciting news cant wait for the release! Got silksong to play soon so the wait for the update will be non existant hahah
