Going full-time & New release model (+R5.5 screenshots)!
Hello lovely friends!
Today is a very special update. Let me talk about it in detail while sprinkling the update with some fresh Release 5.5 screenshots!
It has been a long time coming, but now everything is finally set in motion, and I am happy to report to you that I will be leaving my regular job to work on Star Periphery full-time!
Starting Tuesday, I will be spending the next week and a half (from the 14th to the 27th of May) leaving my daily job. This will entail quite a lot of travel between offices, training my replacement, and related administration. During this time, I won't be posting, so it might be a good time for you to pause your payments. I will, however, be available both here and on our Discord, in case you have any questions.
After this period is finished, I will be all yours!
Now, what will this transition mean to Star Periphery? A change of release model, to put it simply! Previously, the updates were released every every 3-4 months. However, I feel that switching to smaller but more frequent updates (every ~2 months) would be better for both the game and my comfort. But how small are we talking? Well, each update will be either one large section (like Tessa's or Lise's Day 3) or multiple shorter segments, which will be suitable for side content.
This also means that the current roadmap:
Still stands. However, once Release 6 is finished (and with it, each main ladies' Day 3), I think that it might be a good idea to vote on in which order you want to see your favorite content released.
So, with every Release, you'll get to vote on what you want to see next from the roadmap. For example, once R6 is finished, you will get to vote if you want to see Anitta, Nitlix (and her brothel), or the Mines first! Each poll will contain copious teasers, so you will be sure what to vote for!
As for R6 itself, I will be releasing it in this order: Iris, Markala, and finally Amira.
I believe all these changes will lead to a faster, more enjoyable development cycle for both you and myself!
Finally, I need to mention that all this has only been made possible because of your support, friends! I wholeheartedly enjoy making this little game, and doing it full-time is something I have been looking forward to for a long time now. Please allow me to thank you from the bottom of my heart!

fully enjoy your creative mind. looking forward to play a part in it.
Thank you! Much more to come!
Woo iris and markala were my most anticipated glad they're at the front. And congrats on the fulltime 🙌🏾
Thank you, Tazmaniac!
I was wondering if you plan to add a way to practice or level up the MCs skills through masturbation at all?
I am still not 100% sure, but I would like to have some optional scenes like that in the game!
Hi, VP-man! I believe that link will intersting for you... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Selkxpxn1M
Hey, that's pretty cool; thank you! I don't use generative stuff with SP, but I'll check it out for my personal interest!
Is the taxi driver will be in the game?? Can’t wait ☺️😅
Yes, she will get a scene at some point!
Very good news. We want so much to see our hero in new sex adventures...
Congrats on the full time man! 👍
Thank you very much!
Cant wait for markala and tess
Markala is coming fairly soon, right after Iris! For Tess, it will be a little while, but I have some pretty spicy stuff planned for her!
Congratulations!, just one question, will Markala's content be something like a dominatrix? I would love to see It.
Thank you! If you mean Markala wearing certain outfits (like Tessa), then yes!
Does this mean you get to work from home? Has anyone said congrats to you for that yet? YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT!!! :D
Haha, yes! Thank you, Richard!
Just remember that now that you set the schedule you also set breaks and vacations. Rest is something that people NEED and you have to fond it within yourself to say "No I am going to take time off and live other aspects pf my life" Burnout is the main death of passion.
You are very much right! I am hoping that going full-time will help me with that quite a lot.
And pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaasseee... Don't forget NEVER Eleonor... I LOVE vampiresses... Man...
Fantastic, VP-man! What such good news! When we work with we love is the heaven in earth... Congratulations! Your work will so much better, more than amazing! Fantastic... And I guess that Grace's scene will be terrific. The teaser is "matador"...
Thank you very much, Marco! And yes, Grace's scene will be quite spicy!
Congrats!
Thank you!
Congratulations bro ,being able to make a hobby into a job is a fantastic thing
Thank you, dan!
I can't wait for 5.5, when the release🤤?
Once I know for sure, I will let you know!
Working on lewd stuff 7/24 can be heavy but I know you like what you do and you can create so much with this way. God speed!
Thank you! For me, the biggest positive of the change will be that I won't have to divide my attention anymore. I had already given it a test ride for the last few months when I was working from home, and I liked it a lot!
As always, glad to have this game in the hands of one of the hardest working (now full time!!) devs I know! Future plans look great and can’t wait to see what happens next!
Thank you so much, Robert! And I can't wait to show you all the good stuff I have planned!
Congratulations!! Did you ever see yourself doing this full time? Either way it's awesome that you can. I'm glad that you make enough that it's sustainable. Can't wait for more, I'm sure it'll be great!
Thank you! To your question, I did not! I started pretty much with the sentiment of "I want to make a game; maybe someone will like it!" I'm still kinda shocked by all the interest and support the game gets, and I couldn't be more grateful.
I’m not touching the sub if ur going to be full time, just take my money anyway lol, so that you have enough for bills to pay! Love your work and don’t wanna give u a small hiccup of income >_<
Thank you for your support, Sakune! There are some neat things coming up!
If you're going full time then pausing the sub is the last thing I'm going to do. Need to make sure you can keep on this full time.
Thank you very much, Chris! I very much appreciate your support!
This is going to be fun.
Oh yeah, it will be! Much more to come to SP!
let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!
What an absolute mad lad. I gotta say man, respect the hell outta the hustle. Of all the eroge VN out there, yours is one of the most solid, hi production value, and most importantly focused, and I don't just mean on the subject matter. Not shocked to see this success - hope it keeps going for ya.
Thank you for the kind words, Bob! And we are barely out of the intro phase!
So awesome to hear you're going full time and oh my god that Grace pic. Her body is incredible!
Thanks! I reworked her a little bit. I'm glad you approve!
Congrants brol you deserve for such passion and dedication man,after the release try to rest men you realy deserve some time after such incredible work
Thank you kindly, Samu! I will spend a lot of time traveling in the upcoming days, so I will try to rest a little during that time!
Much success in this new part of this life, I hope everything goes well, in relation to the star, I loved the roadmap, giving a good highlight to the secondary characters and many good things will come, a lot of expectation for Tessa's new scenes.
Thank you! I also have high hopes for this new chapter in Star Periphery development!
Congrats is that new Reporter pack i hope she is hottie
Thank you! And, oh yes, that is the reworked reporter lady!
Congratulations!! You've absolutely earned your current success and I hope it keeps growing. This is definitely the best, highest quality work I've seen and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way!
Thank you so much, Smokeout! Just like with your colleague above, it's only because of your support! Much more to come for Star Periphery!
Huge congrats, a well deserved milestone. Your growth and improvement is happening so fast.
Thank you very much, Sulve! You've been with me pretty much since the start, and I can't appreciate that enough!
Congrats on your success! First time in a while I’ve been so excited to see where a game goes. 🤞
Thank you kindly, Smites! A lot of cool (and spicy) things are in store for Star Periphery!
