If you follow me on socials you already know that I’ve started the Kickstarter campaign for Glamour Photographer last month, and so far it’s doing well, close to the third stretch goal at the time of writing this. Below the next two stretch goals:
For a full list of the stretch goals please visit the Kickstarter page.
Since the base goal was reached very quickly, I have already started working on the game at full speed. I’m particularly happy how the comedy setting is turning out, and the addition of the “Spiritual Guides” adds even more crazyness to the story! Check for example the short video I made below:
It’s a scene happening early in Miyoki’s route, and the combination of comic-style + spiritual guides seems to work well in this crazy comedy setting. In case you missed the characters introduction on my Kickstarter, Miyoki is the model “obsessed by food” and it’s one of the most fun character routes I’ve written in ages!
For a full list of the models, their personalities and… their kinks, check the Kickstarter page updates (I posted an update for each different model).
Steam Next Fest
I spoke with my partner Andrealphus and we are thinking to have a demo of the game for the Steam fest of June, with a potential release in Summer. It’s not 100% sure yet, but that’s what we’re currently aiming at. Personally I’m at good point myself regarding writing, coding, etc but this is a big game and there’s a lot of art and animations left to do. So even when my work is done, then there’ll be animators animating the characters and so on, and that might take a couple months more, depending on various things.
But for a demo I’m confident enough we could have it ready in June.
For the final release not sure, depends on several factors. Still it should be out this Summer!
Next Project
As mentioned in my previous post, this year I’m also planning to do At Your Feet 2, which will still be a game focused on foot fetish but also other kinks, but this time using very different artists. I am planning to reuse the comic-style scenes even in this game since I am very happy about the results I am getting in Glamour Photographer.
Below, a few scenes from the game (still early work of course):
Using comic-style (which means more scenes at slightly lower quality vs a single CG) I believe works better to show what’s happening in the story visually. It’s a bit more “cinematic” vs just a lot of texts and fewer images.
The plan is, when I have done all my work (or most of it) with Glamour Photographer, while they add animations and all that, I’ll start working on this game (so around this Summer), and if all goes well At Your Feet 2 will be out this Autumn, since I plan to have it be a simple VN, so much less work than VN with mechanics like Glamour Photographer.
You can already wishlist and see the trailer on the Steam’s official page here:

I didn’t even hope to get this game outside the Steam adult category, so… if you’re from Germany, no worries, the game will also be on itchio or you can back it on KS later this year to get a Steam key reward!
Last but not least, towards the end of the year I might also start working on that fantasy game (still set in Aravorn) I mentioned last month, which is actually my first attempt at making a single player RPG, much more focused on actual roleplay and not just combat.
I already know it will be a nightmare to code (many skills!) and design (a lot of branching) but it’s a project that intrigues me so I want to try it. However I don’t want to push it too much, need to always be careful to not get burned out, so it’s really unlikely that this last fantasy game will be out this year.
That’s all for now, see you next month for another update!
