Hello, my dear FreshMen!

I’m very excited today! We had A LOT of progress this week, and there’s a lot to tell you!

Firstly, you were very hyped about the Deluxe Edition, so I went to work right away to see what we could deliver in a timely manner. Our most popular extras for the Deluxe Edition were: Digital 3D Printable Statues of Characters, and Skins. These are also the most technically challenging items in the list, so we started with them!

I talked to a lot of 3D Sculptors this week, to find those that would give us the best result possible. Two of them are already lined up, and will start working on statues next week.

We’ll start with a Julia Statue, and, if there really is a demand for them, we’ll produce more.

If we confirm there's a demand, we’ll be able to create a few of them for the Deluxe Edition. You’ll choose which characters, of course, as well as their pose and clothing style!

This week, I want you to pick your favorite outfit for Julia’s Statue! Let us know in the poll here.

Now, about the skins. We made a quick and dirty Proof-of-Concept this week, to validate our hypothesis, and, while it did work way better than expected, there are still a few technical things we have to perfect before I can tell you for sure that it’ll be possible.

If it all works well, you’ll be able to select character skins in a few scenes every episode. We’re working very hard to make it possible, but it’s important that we keep our expectations in check. There’s a reason most 3D Visual Novels don’t have skins, and it’s because it’s a difficult and complex process, full of moving parts and intricacies.

Having said that, I’m very, very excited about this! If it all works out, it’ll be an amazing new piece of tech that we have mastered, and it’ll improve player experience in all our games. We’ll do our best to bring skins to you!

In other news, Season 2 Episode 3 Part 3 is coming out BEAUTIFULLY! We are almost done with blocking, and now, it’s time to light everything and make a few last touches. We made a few lighting improvements in our pipeline, and Susan’s Sex Scene is one of the prettiest things we’ve ever made.

Here’s where we are so far:

• Storyboard: 10 scenes done, 0 to go
• Blocking: 9 scenes done, 1 in progress, 0 to go;
• Lighting: 5 in progress, 5 to go;
• Facial Expression: 1 scene done, 2 in progress, 7 to go;
• Cloth Simulation and Polish: 1 scene done, 9 to go;
• Animations: 15 on finishing stage, 7 on blocking, 10 to go;
• Characters and Script are done!

I’m ecstatic about Susan’s scene, and will start sharing screenshots with you soon! This part is very special to us, and we want to blow you away.

PS: We also made a lot of progress in Forbbiden Fantasy - Chapter 4, and are moving production to the second sex scene of this Chapter! Read our full report here.

Oppaiman Store has a few new features this week! In special, we made a trailer hover option, so you can preview game trailers without having to click their page! Our team is now working on a new Search function, that’ll allow you to search games by their tags. This’ll make navigation a lot more intuitive, and let you find what you want quickly.

What a week, huh! This was an amazing one! A lot of work done, a lot of new tech coming, production flowing. It amazes me how much our team is capable of. A team filled with talented and passionate people is unstoppable, and this week proves it. We started the week with scary challenges on our table, and finished Friday dominating them!

Thank you so much for your support, and for making it all possible! Together, we’re making incredible things!

See you soon,
