Development Diary #21 – New Backgrounds, Puppet Animations, Sprite Costumes & Story Updates!

Next, let’s dive into our Twenty-first Development Diary, showcasing updates from our various departments and what they’ve been working on since our last update!

Part 1 – New 3D & Painted Backgrounds!

First up, our background department has been hard at work as always, coming up with new 3D and Painted Renders of the various locations around Olympus University – and now the city as well! Before we head off Campus, check out a couple of new painted background previews, rendered by Kyun:

Just like the Arena, Stadium, and Aquatic Center host their own respective sport matches, the Coliseum hosts all the Dionysus Wrestling Team’s major meets! Whether it’s up above in the Coliseum Bleachers looking down on the beefy brawlers, or getting up close and personal to the Coliseum Ring to smell the sweat and masculinity, we’re sure there will be memorable experiences in the Coliseum!

Next up, for a bit of a change of pace, we’re leaving the Campus and headed into the city to checkout a couple of the visitable areas around town! Check out the 3D Renders, made by Micman & Sana, below:

Fancy a scenic overlook with beautiful buildings, good food, and plenty of tourist trap stores? Then check out the Santomarino area, including its very own Hotel (for a romantic overnight stay) or Restaurant (for an intimate date)!

If you’d rather lean more into the beach bum vibe, checkout the Mythokos Area, and take your date for a day at Mythokos Beach and grab a snack at the Mythokos Beach Shack! There’s plenty more areas and backgrounds to be shown off for both of these two areas, as well as other locations around the city, but we’ll save them for a later reveal!

Part 2 – New Puppet Animations!

On our December Development Diary, we showed the first of the Oral Series of Puppet Animations, with Ace (or a lucky Jock) getting a taste of their partner. This time, however, there’s equal tasting opportunities for everyone with the newest animation by Monacodingo:

Pleasure your partner while they pleasure you back with the next Oral Animation – the Sixty-Nine Animation! And just like all other animations, it’s interchangeable positions for each character – you get to choose who climbs on top of who for your viewing pleasure!

Part 3 – New Sprites Costumes!

Next up, we have another brand-new set of Sprite Costumes to showcase for Ace & the Jocks – designed by Zael and worked on by both Zael & AlexW so far, check them out below:

These new Toga Costumes go alongside the Festival Costumes we showcased in previous development updates. While the Jocks look exceptionally flashy in their Festival Attire, some of them aren’t as practical for daily use, so they switch out to a simpler, although still sexy, attire for the rest of the Festival arc!

PS – Don’t worry – they still don’t wear undies under the togas!

Part 4 – Story Updates & New Character Previews!

Finally, to wrap-up this Development Diary, we have a lot of good news to report about the Story Department! First off, our story team has already identified Detailed Events all the way up through Spring Break of the game, including everything you’ll be able to experience from a week-to-week basis in Jock Studio! (And trust us, there’s a lot of things to see and do!)

On top of that, we’ve also had our team member, Tatsutahimet, join the writing force, assisting us with some of these aforementioned interactions! We’re happy to have additional members on our writing force, and we hope this helps speed along the writing process even more!

Please note that we will hold back from showing many story-related previews to avoid spoilers from the main game but we will try to consistently provide progress updates such as these to let you know how the writing is progressing!

Finally, we’re also extremely happy to report that Derek, the last of our pursuable Jocks, has had his Story Summary fully completed! Derek’s route is a mysterious path of love and sorrow, and there’s many secrets to uncover as you get closer to everyone’s favorite gentle giant!

Just like with every other character too, Derek has his own set of supporting cast to help tell his story – checkout their concept art, designed by Zael, below:

First, you might recognize Griffin Usher, or Griff for short – one of our Varsity-tier characters! Just like Hopper & Kol, Griff has been upgraded to be a part of Derek’s story, and serves as the co-captain of the Ares Football Team, as well as one of Derek’s friends!

Next, a mysterious figure from Derek’s past. While we can’t say much about him yet, he does seem to look similar to a certain main character…

With Derek’s Story Summary completed, we’ve officially wrapped up all of the Main Plotline and Jock Story Summaries for Jock Studio! There’s now a complete picture of what will happen in the game, and we can’t wait for you all to experience it!

In the meantime, our Story Team will continue with a few more miscellaneous Story Discussions, Side Character Story Summaries and then begin scriptwriting each arc of the game in earnest! Stay tuned for more previews as this process continues – including teasers and information about the Arcs included in the game!

Closing Word

That’s all for this Development Diary, Olympians, but we hoped you all enjoyed all these exciting previews & updates about Jock Studio! We’ll be back next month with another Jock Studio Development Update as always, and we’ll have more information about the upcoming Uniform Physical Merchandise soon!

Thank you for your support, and we hope you’re all having a wonderful start to the year!

Lots of love,
