Mineheart & STRIP Sequel: Progress Report & '26 + '27 Timeline
Hey guys, sorry for the long wait between updates. There's been a few things I've been working on now that I have my computer back.
⛏️ Mineheart Abyss
I've received a lot of feedback regarding the previous update regarding the genre and amount of adult content included so far.
Regarding the genre, the next update will be a larger rework of the entire game's structure. I'll be keeping most of the current gameplay, but changing the way Resurfacing works and adding Combat. Due to the scope of this update, it will need some more time to cook before it'll be ready for everyone, so please be patient while I work on it! It will likely feel like a brand new game once everything is adjusted.
As for the adult content, I am probably going to make the adult content completely optional for this game. I'm struggling to make it feel natural for this world, so going forward this title will likely drop from Adult to Mature or even Teen rating. I will still have fun fanservice, but the sex scenes will probably be dropped. This game will be a priority project for my SFW Patreon going forward, but will also be available here for those still interested in it!
🩱STRIP Cards Sequel
After the most recent poll, it seems most people are excited for a new STRIP Cards game so I've been working hard at making that this past month. The graphics are still very unpolished so I'm hesitant to share any screenshots with you at this time. The sequel game is being re-coded from the ground up due to how inexperienced I was when I started STRIP Cards about 4 years ago. Taking the break to work on Mineheart really leveled up my coding abilities, so I can confidently make more advanced systems going forward.
This new sequel will focus on two things that the original STRIP Cards lacked: Story Mode and Online Multiplayer.
Story Mode will be the major single player campaign this time. It was cut in STRIP Cards 1 because of the Arcade structure. I've been developing a story I'm really proud of that involves every character and expands upon their lore and relationships. I've also got some new characters that I'm excited for everyone to meet in future chapters!
Online Multiplayer will be our community's corner stone. I've been setting up the code so that we can eventually host games to play against. The deck building structure is made simpler so decks won't be unfair when playing against others online. Once online multiplayer is added, I'll be excited to host tournaments for prizes for everyone to participate in!
🗨️Questions for Characters / Comics
The Questions for Characters format I tried working on a month ago was not very well received, likely in part by many people not knowing who the characters were ahead of time. In the near future, I'll be working on short comics that explore each character's lore and personality so we can grow the community along with these characters I adore so much. I want these girls to be loved by everyone else as much as I love them, so get ready for some more character content!
Questions for Characters may return at a later date, but the priority will be re-introducing the girls to everyone first.
📈Vague Timeline
Here's a very brief and vague timeline that I'm expecting to get everything completed by:
This month - Character Comics (weekly or bi-weekly)
Within the next 3 months - STRIP Cards Sequel Chapter 1 - Introduction featuring Arc
After 3 months - Regularly updating STRIP Sequel with new Chapters and features
4+ months - Mineheart Abyss new genre with combat; SFW rebrand
I'll still make and encourage the creation of Mineheart Abyss adult art, only it'll be separated from the base game going forward
5+ months - Animations for YouTube to promote STRIP Sequel
6+ months - Online Multiplayer for STRIP Sequel; Community battles
12+ months - Mineheart Abyss on Steam (SFW)
Will be the final version of the game, wishlists are currently available!
I do not trust my games to be NSFW on Steam after STRIP Cards was banned because my art style was too cute. This is a difficult realization for me and has been weighing heavily on every decision I've made since then. It's one of the reasons BJ Training never was continually developed past the first version.
13+ months - New project will likely begin
18+ months or later - Steam version of STRIP Sequel; don't hold your breath
The Steam version will be the final version of the game with all monthly content already added at the end. A page won't be ready for at least a year from now to wishlist it.
The goal for STRIP Sequel will be to grow it with tons of monthly content for years in the future, so it will likely be my largest project so far.
Thanks again everyone for your patience! I'm aiming for 2027 to be our biggest year ever, so I just need a bit more time to develop my projects so everyone can enjoy them~ If you have any questions about the projects, or concerns about the SFW decision, please let me know! I want to be as transparent as possible with everyone! 🙏

Hello, is it possible for you to enable the option for paid gift subscriptions? Unfortunately, I cannot purchase a subscription directly because I live in a country where Patreon payment processing isn't supported. However, I’d really like to play *Minehert Abyss* beyond the 19-level demo. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Thank you for the update! As someone who really enjoyed the first Strip Battle Action Cards, I'm very excited for the sequel! Keep up the good work Pengi! :D
I’m excited for more stripping lol it’s a shame they called your content too cute I personally enjoy the art style as I’m sure many of us do. I’m interested to see how you improve on strip 1, dynamic attacks? Clothes showing damage as the health bar dwindles ,personal fav in nsfw games. Either way it’ll be good I’m sure!
No longer interested in Mineheart
