Development at full swing for SEFZ v5.0 | Progress Report

Hey guys!

Finally got some time to sit down and give you all a proper progress report on Stuck with my Ex's Family and ZOMBIES!? - Version 5.0!

Things have been pretty busy behind the scenes because this update is going to be a BIG one. And yes, the thing you guys have been waiting for is finally happening...

THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IS FINALLY STARTING! 🧟🔥

This is where things are really going to start getting crazy. You’ll meet some new characters, the story will take some interesting turns, and the overall scale of everything is going to get much bigger from here.

And yes... there’s also a proper NSFW scene this time. Let’s just say our protagonist finally gets to be a little more... involved in the fun. 👀

Apart from working on 5.0, we’ve also been helping out with the development of another project that we’re extremely excited about. We genuinely think it has the potential to become something huge, but I’ll save more about that for another time.

We’re also working on improving the UI and making the overall experience cleaner. And once this update is done, one of our bigger priorities will be improving the sandbox side of the game.

We know the sandboxing right now isn’t perfect, and we want to give you guys much more freedom to explore and do things at your own pace. Version 5.0 is mostly focused on kicking off the apocalypse and moving the main story forward, but after that, we’ll start putting more attention into expanding that freedom.

There’s also something I want to ask from you guys.

If you’ve played the game and enjoyed it but haven’t rated us on itch.io or wishlisted the game on Steam yet, please consider doing it. ❤️

It genuinely takes only a couple of minutes, but it helps us A LOT.

1. Wishlist the game on Steam -> Click here

2. Give us a good 5-star rating on itch.io -> Click here

And if you can’t financially support us right now, that’s completely fine. Seriously. We understand that not everyone is in a position to spend money on games or Patreon. Simply leaving us a rating and wishlisting the game is already a great way of supporting what we’re doing.

Of course, if you can support us here, we’re incredibly grateful for that!! Every bit of support gives us more freedom to spend time working on the game. Right now, we still have side work that helps us support ourselves, so the more the game grows, the more time and energy we can eventually dedicate entirely to development.

One reason development can sometimes take a little longer is the way we handle our visuals. We don't just keep reusing the exact same character sprites over and over. We render scene-specific images, so as scenes progress, you’ll constantly see new or slightly changed renders matching what is actually happening.

It’s definitely more work, but we feel it makes the game much more visually interesting and alive.

So if development sometimes feels a little slower than other games, that’s one of the biggest reasons. And while we’ll always try to improve our workflow and release things faster, we don’t want to rush ourselves to the point where the quality starts dropping.

Anyway, that’s enough rambling from me. 😂

Development on Version 5.0 is in full swing, the apocalypse is finally coming, and I’m really excited for you guys to see where things go from here.

Thank you for sticking with us and supporting the game. ❤️

Till next time, stay safe and stay healthy!

Cheers,
Team Puushi-Sama ❤️
