Development Diary #18 – New Backgrounds, Puppet Animations, Date Portraits, and New Side Characters!

Next, let’s go into our 18th Development Diary, featuring updates on what the team’s been up to for the past month! Please read the full update in detail for further information!

Part 1 – New 3D & Painted Backgrounds!

Over the last couple months, we’ve showcased the various locations inside of Jock Studio – including the various places you’ll be filming for the club! This month, we’re expanding back out to the main campus, with two other buildings already seen on the main Campus Map – the Track and Field Complex, and the Coliseum! Check out the renders by Micman below:

Grandiose as ever, aren’t they? The Track and Field Complex is used for all of House Hermes sporting activities, and might be a great place to look for Matt Carter – he’s quite dedicated to practice, after all! Meanwhile, the Coliseum is the wrestling team’s ornate equivalent of the Basketball Arena or Football Stadium – it’s where the team’s big matches, including those featuring Bryce Callahan, take place! Both of these locations will be visitable in the main game, and will be shown later in a fully painted preview!

Speaking of fully-painted, it’s been a while since we’ve shown off some of Kyun’s work, so let’s check what he’s been up to:

First previewed as part of our Two-Year Update, Leo’s Room and Leo’s Room (Lobby) have both been fully rendered and painted by Kyun! Both locations are oozing with details of Leo’s hobbies and interests, and as you can see, he doesn’t live by himself! Leo’s in a shared room, but how many roommates does he have, and who are they? You’ll find out in the full game!

Part 2 – New Puppet Animations!

Next up, we have a couple of new Filming Minigame Animation Previews, created by our Animation Team Members, JustSyl, Zemyx and Monacodingo! Check them out below:

This trio of animations completes the full set of ‘special foreplay’ animations – forming a complete six with the previously shown Hole Frot, Ball Fondle and Ball Squeeze. Just like those three, this set of animations also pairs to a performance stat – with Butt Spread being tied to Skill, Butt Grope tied to Resistance and Perinieum Rub tied to Charm! Be sure to train your stats to unlock each of these three sexy new positions!

Part 3 – Date Portrait Artwork

Next up, quite a few months ago we showed off the Dating Mechanics, including a very cute and excitable life-like model of Yuuto! Back then, we promised that all the other Jocks would get their own models too, and they have! Check out the fully rendered artwork below:

Made by Zael, AlexW and Magia, these Date Portraits will be featured in the Date Activity, letting you get up close and personal with each of the Jocks, read their expressions, and poke at them for reactions!

These artworks are now being worked on by JustSyl and Zemyx for animation, and you can expect exciting previews of them moving in a future development update!

Part 4 – New Side Characters!

Finally, to round out this Development Diary, we have some exciting silhouettes to reveal – the remaining side characters for Yuuto’s route! Check them out below:

First teased on our Two-Year Update, Baku isn’t the only character charming Yuuto’s story – you’ll also be able to encounter his parents, Yuugo and Yoriko! These two hard-working but loving family members will have an important role to play in Yuuto’s story, just like Baku!

These three aren’t the only ones entering Yuuto’s story, though – some of his teammates join the cast as well! You might recognize both Kol and Hopper, two Varsity-tier backer characters who have become an official part of Yuuto’s story, with the approval of both of their backers! Kol serves the role of one of the coaches of the Artemis Volleyball Club, while Hopper is Yuuto’s talented teammate – get to know both of them in his story as part of the full game!

There’s plenty more characters to be revealed, but we hope you enjoy these four new additions (as well as a second look at the dorkily adorable Baku)!

Closing Word

That’s all for this Development Diary, Olympians, but you won’t have long to wait for something exciting – Sleepover: reWake, our latest title, is releasing this Tuesday, October 21st! Not only that, but we’ve also been running a Wishlist Campaign, including some sexy artwork of Kano and Aki, the game’s characters – check out the Steam page and wishlist the game now to learn more:

Please note as well that all proceeds from Sleepover: reWake go directly to fund Jock Studio’s development, so thank you for supporting the project! We’ll be back next month with the next Jock Studio Development Diary, but thank you as always for your support, Olympians!

Lots of love,
