Development Update: Progress & Full Release Schedule
Thank you for waiting.
This is ScarletPaper.
Due to the scope of development growing beyond our initial expectations, and because there are still many areas we would like to take more time to carefully refine, we have decided to postpone the release of the full version.
To everyone who has been looking forward to it, we sincerely apologize.
That said, we truly want to see ThornSin through to the end and deliver it in a form that we ourselves can be fully satisfied with.
At this point, the overall structure of the game is nearly complete, and development is progressing steadily on new boss battles, additional relics, and expanded story content.
Alongside this update, we have also upgraded the game engine.
Although this required additional time, it has significantly expanded our technical possibilities and allows us to aim for richer and more expressive visual effects going forward.

About the Full Release Schedule
While the main flow of the game is now complete, there are still some finer balance adjustments to be made, as well as several additional elements we would like to include.
If development continues smoothly, we are aiming for a full release around Fall 2026.
We truly appreciate your patience, and we will continue to put our full effort into delivering the game in the best possible state.
Thank you, as always, for your warm and continued support.
Below are a few previews shown within a spoiler-free range.
Because we want to preserve the enjoyment of a first-time playthrough, the content shown here represents only a portion of the new features planned for the full release.
We hope you look forward to what’s still to come.

Its a fun game, but definitely needs a level selector(even if its just on lower difficulties given the game style). A gallery as well would be amazing. Also a pause menu would be great, too many times Ive died because I've had to suddenly go and do something mid fight or someone walking in. Overall, 8/10 game, just minor issues.
Yo give us the damn game
Why is there still no news about the development progress?
It seems that we are not going to have the full version this autumn
in Full Release game have gallery?
Eagerly looking forward to release, any updates now that autumn is rapidly approaching.
who the hell is john doe???
It's September, how is the development coming?
May be a bit off topic here, but I don't know where to contact. There is a bug that let player get infinite coins. I just met a room with two bushes of thorn and a coin, when I take the coin and leave then re-enter the coin is still there, tried many times and still there
waiting on steam I will buy it right after you guys release!
Seems like John Doe might want you guys to add a option to control the level of pubic hair, but I'm not sure.
Please please add the option to control the heroine's pubic hair.
Can't wait excited, I've played the trial it looks amazing, I'll definitely pay for the full version once its released
Please please please add the option to select the heroine's pubic hair. The hairier the better!
It would be great if they added a gallery for the H scenes
Or at least make an option where players can select the level of pubic hair please.
Please please please give our female protagonist thicky bushy pubic hair. Pubic hair will make this game superb.
Hopefully we get multiple pubic hair options, thick bush, landing strip, heart, bare. I also hope there's womb tattoo as well, there probably will be but when it comes out I will be stoked
Hello, I purchased ThornSin through your website and completed the payment via itch.io. However, when I open your Patreon, it still says "Join to upgrade" and I can't access the full game. Could you please help me activate my access? My purchase email is: teeleksayza@gmail.co
上会不会在steam上发布啊? 希望正式版能在多个平台上发布,因为很多不同国家各地区的玩家支付方式 在不同的平台会被限制
我真的希望你们能早点出游戏
It appears that work on this project has effectively ground to a halt, leaving it unfinished.
He said "fall". Which means could be up to September. Just have some patience.
yo buddy still alive?
will we be able to get the game from patreon when it releases or do we need to get it from a site like dlsite?
Come on! I'm looking forward to seeing your final product. Your game is the most enjoyable one I've ever played, even among action games.
2 months now without a word from the Dev...
It literally states Fall 2026.
wtf man
Hey Scarlet. Delaying release is cool and everything but you need to be giving us updates monthly or bi weekly especially if there aren't going to be any future demos. We aren't giving you money for nothing, the least you can do is communicate with your community. I was hoping with the February update that we would see a return to more constant communication but now March has come and gone without a word. People are starting to withdraw their support because of this and I myself am considering that as well. Like seriously, what am I giving you money for if you cant even at the very least provide us with a monthly update/peak into what is being worked on? At this point if April passes without any communication or update I will be withdrawing my support. This isnt how you're supposed to treat your supporters.
The dev finally up something on their x channel if you access to their channel you'll see a rabbit image
Is there any test version newer than 0.7.5 I can get? I can't wait to play the latest version.
Dev said there won't be anymore playable versions till the release of the game
is there have any way can see gallery its hard for i need control my keyboard and enjoy...........
Don’t you worry, my freaky friend, for I’m already working on this. I’m planning on creating an improvised gallery myself, which would be just a video compilation of all the in game scenes. I’m currently learning to montage videos and once I’m done gathering material and editing I’ll make sure to make an announcement here and on Discord, so hope you won’t miss it!
I would say take your time, polish your project I've been with this project since way way early.... and absolutely am happy with it so far
I think that it would be nice if after certain level of corruption youre able to seduce, that would open a bit more of option.
It would be great if corruption amount would be used for more than just merchant. For example less dmg from H-scenes or maybe facial expression change.
As others already said, I spend more on this game than on the most tripple A title. Iam also fine with the hard bdsm direction as long its not turning Into true gore. But Fall, seriously? At this point it makes much more sense to drop more Demos and go with more h-scenes cuz they are the main reason we are here.
At this point I've probably spent more on this than many AAA games would cost. I like your work and i want more of it. thats the only reason i am here. To a certain extent i want more enemies or zones with different enemies. Thats part of what was interesting about the game. to be frankly honest the smut came first before the mechanics to me. Adding just more content instead of the story is a bigger priority. Yes i want the game to have a full story very very much so.
Thanks for the update, but I won't lie to you- I unsubscribed a while ago because there have been no updates or preview builds. The regular preview builds with new content are what kept me interested and paying money in the first place. I think a lot of people share my sentiment on this. I sincerely hope that you will consider continuing your small updates so that we can get hands on with your progress again. I really like this game. It has been my favorite H game since Night of Revenge. However, I cannot justify a monthly subscription to something based on faith alone, no matter how much I like the product. That being said, if you are having health concerns, either mental or physical, that should be your top priority. Be well, and I hope to hear more of your progress in the future.
IT LIVES THE GAME STILL LIVES WE ARE ALLL SAVED.
I am simply glad to see the project still going. Out of all H-Games, this is one that has one of the best H-animations. All I hope is that in the full release there are going to be more H-animations and more mechanics around the H-animations. But I am also honest; I quit or unsubscribed, not due to the lack of updates or anything, but more because I really didn't like the direction where the one Shadow Figure/Priestess boss fight went. The game can have "unsettling" enemies, but in my opinion, let's keep the "gore" out of it, please... Anyway, I am looking forward to what the full release is going to have. My personal expectations: - Expansion on that one Special Tentacle Area, with more H-animations, Scenes, events, etc. - A way to "Free Roam" somewhat, to selectively go through the areas I desire to with passive health regeneration and maybe not a true "game-over" state. But somehow a way to still see each area's "game over" scene. - Maybe a Galerie mode, but personally... I'd rather have a "Free Roam" mode to have some player agency still. - A lot more and different H-animations, scenes, and events, as well as mechanics related to that. Example: How pregnancy can be turned into a Minionmancer playstyle. - Also what's probably not going to happen but would be nice are more H-animations for existing creatures. Like they could trigger H-animation A or B or C. Otherwise, phenomenal work thus far. Even after Thorn and Sin, I will be looking forward to what's coming next. Maybe Thorn and Sin 2? XD or simply DLC. I think the best complaint is that I simply want more.
That’s fine please take your time. Would rather have a full product than a partial one
I'll wait until the game is the way you want it 🐐🐐🐐 And don't worry about the update posts, I hate spoilers 🙃
This game looks sick I'm big hype
First of all, others and I are glad you are back with an update post. Regardless of what progress the game is in; your health needs to be the top priority before all else. Rushing only leads to failures; your health will take a hit too. Looking forward to the full release, be it during Fall or whenever it may be. Stay safe, look after your health!
I'm glad to see the development team back. I've been looking forward to seeing this game's development continue for a long time, even though there have been some interruptions due to various circumstances. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to playing your game, development team.=)
Ouch. Fall ? Will you consider releasing new demos to "make up" (not quite the right words but couldn't think of anything better) for the late launch date ?
Great work 😭 you're back ✋😭🤚
First thing though: are you alright? How are doing lately?
Ура, я не зря чекав 3 місяця, росцілувати вас хочу, ви зробили мій день
