NEWSLETTER/ Porn and Cards Next update and OPT news!
Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing great!
We’re slowly reaching the end of Porn and Cards—and honestly, that feels amazing. This game gave us the chance to create so many things, and it also built a strong foundation for the next OPT!
👉 Speaking of OPT: I’ll need your feedback on the card game. What did you like? What didn’t you like? What would you love to see added for OPT? All your thoughts will help me make your next favorite Trainer game even better!
The next Porn and Cards update is planned for early September ✅
Like the last one, it’ll be faster to produce—makes sense since we’re getting closer to the end! And yes… if you saw the teaser image, you know we’ll be spending a little more time with our dear Pearl ~
On top of that, we added a "Cheat" mode in-game that allows people to win all the fights. (This will disable achievements on Steam of course).
I didn't really like the idea of doing it, but quite a few people on Steam absolutely wanted some kind of "Story" mode so I put it in!
After this, it’ll be time for the final update and the official release of the game! Can’t lie, releases are always stressful—you never get used to it.
Looking back, I don’t think I’ll go with Early Access on Steam again. Next time, I’ll probably return to the old format: free on Itchio, with extra content unlocked through Patreon codes. That system was just better.
OPT News
The next OPT is already shaping up nicely:
Tinker is in the game 🛠️
First environments are ready 🏰
First dialogues are written ✍️
Thanks to everything we learned from PnC, production feels so much smoother this time—it’s crazy how much more efficient we’ve become.
And yes, I’m planning a BIG announcement when OPT officially launches! That’s when I’ll reveal the game’s name and talk about everything I have in mind for this project. I want this to be the best OPT ever made—a true return to the roots of Trainer games. Think Princess Trainer, Witch Trainer… but pushed even further.
Multiple corruption paths, princesses caught in your twisted fantasies—yep, that’s where we’re going!
But I also want to recapture the intimacy of the early days of OPT1, just... us, Tinker, and a princess. Sometimes, I miss that simplicity!
( It's unbearable, I'm so into it that I'm saying too much!! Alright, I'm gonna stop with the reveals now ahah )
Now… let’s just hope Itchio opens up again for NSFW games, otherwise things will get tricky.
Anyway! I can’t wait to read your thoughts about all this.
See you soon for the next PnC update—or maybe even earlier if I break and sneak you some OPT previews 👀 eheh
Bye ~~

I'd love to see Merida or Pocahontas.
Fuuuck I'm so excited for this! Been living this game just as much as OPT
I know it won't happen... It's too bad Velma Dinkley isn't a princess. I would love to see you version of her. <3
Hey Salty, that image? Yes.
😏
p.s. love the card game but it's a bit too simple i.e. whoever has the bigger bonk stick wins. There's some strategy in when you place things and the potions but outside of that it is just the biggest stick wins. Something like a frog troop with 3hp but he has a jump to avoid damage or a melee that hits twice from the back row would be cool and not entirely game breaking. Also that is the limit of my imagination so the rest is on your lovely brain. Love your work and cheerio.
Yeah, I also think the card game needs a bit more strategy. I’ll try to boost that in the next game (and in the ending of PnC too!)
My favorite part of PnC was the characters (especially Pearl and Tennessee, hope they and Daisy can come back at some point) and writing. Both of which are always good in your games. Initially really liked the old west setting but part of it was it felt like we were going to leave it and get more into the universe. The way things have shaken out, it has wound up feeling like an extended fetch quest. OPT1 felt more like an adventure going to different worlds and finding stuff- like the underground base where Elsa was, or our satyr, or our mysterious hooded figure. Most of that is my own expectations but even one other town or planet would go a long way. I like the card game, it’s an ambitious step beyond the drone game and I enjoy strategy games. My primary critique is the effect some of the opponents’ cards/setups have winds up feeling like a puzzle game where you have to set up a specific way to crack the opposition. Those boss cards that were impossible to beat when the opponent had them feel comparatively weak when I actually get to use them because they were employed with a specific pre-deployed strategy in mind and we can’t set up that way. LOVE having Snow White and Rapunzel in the deck, just wish I could use them more. I’d also like the option to play against one (or several) side characters in non-story related matches over and over again as a way to gain various resources and try out different cards/play styles. Potentially a way to grind for money or whatever other resources are present. Definitely enjoying the game, excited for next update. Very excited for OPT3.
Thanks for the feedback! It always makes me happy when people are already sad about a character leaving before the story is even finished—that means I did a good job, eheh. And yeah, while making the game I realized that having “Princesses” in the deck is really cool. So, for the next OPT, we’re setting up a “Hero Card” system—special kinds of cards (you can only have one in your deck) that will most likely be ULTRA customizable princesses. I think people are really going to like that ^^ And yes, the idea of having some moments where you can play repeatedly against a character is something we’re currently thinking about adding to the game. I also think it’s a great idea!
Why hello there Pearl, are you on your knees often or are you just happy to see me?
I think the gameplay is pretty decent, but I've noticed most cards don't have special abilities, really just being a clash of numbers. As an avid TCG player, I think most people's favorite aspect of TCGs is messing with combo abilities and forming a strategy with different cards playing off each other in fun ways. The equipment mechanic is not bad in the slightest, but I think it could really benefit from doing more than changing your stats, which as I mentioned before kinda makes the meta here loading up on the biggest numbers. Equipment that gave more unique effects, even if they were somewhat rare compared to the rank and file gear, would really add to the strategies present in the game and help the gameplay really thrive. Though please don't misunderstand this as me saying I don't enjoy the gameplay! I've loved actually playing the game so far, not just the porn, and am excited for the story to wrap up!
I think you’re absolutely right. Focusing more on cards with effects is definitely something that would add a lot to the game. I’ll take a look at how complex it might be to do the same with equipment, but yeah—you’re right, that could bring something extra too. Thanks a lot for the feedback!!
Favorite part of PnC was the small side quests you could do before the final main mission.
