Development Diary 27 – Story, Backgrounds and Animations
Let’s dive into our Twenty-Seventh Development Diary, showcasing updates from our various departments and what they’ve been working on since our last update!
SPOILER WARNING – Please note the update below contains several spoilers for Jock Studio’s story. Please proceed with caution if you do not wish to be spoiled.
Part 1 – Story Progress Report
First up, we wanted to provide an update on our story department – Zael and Jey have been making excellent progress, and we have great news: the first full five weeks of the game, including all main story, side scenarios, sex scenes, and more have been fully written and are ready for proofreading, cueing and implementation into game! Not only that, but Week 6 is already in progress, with more weeks expected to proceed nicely right after.
As we mentioned in our Three Year Update last month, the first five weeks / first month of Jock Studio’s gameplay consists of both Demo 1.0 and Demo 2.0’s events, alongside lots of other story moments, including the characters getting to know each other better, spending time learning the mechanics, and more!
One of the events you can experience with the Jocks comes with a brand-new set of comic panels which will be commonly seen in circumstances throughout the game! We thought we’d show you a little teaser of one of the first series of comic panels unlockable in game, below:
SPOILER WARNING REMINDER
What could the Jocks be doing above? Let us know what you think in the comments, and you’ll get to experience all six of these scenarios in the full game!
That’s all for our Story Department Updates for now – as we’ve mentioned before, Story Department contains heavy spoilers, and we want to try and keep as much of the story hidden before release as possible, for everyone’s enjoyment! Thank you for understanding!
Part 2 – Coffee Time at Starbuffs!
Next up, let’s visit Peach in the Graphics Department! During our Three-Year Update, we showcased the first series of meals that you can find at the most common location on Campus – The Oyster, aka the mess hall!
As we alluded to then, there’s many more meals with varying effects at all the restaurants around campus and the city, and we’re here to show yet another menu you can sample in Jock Studio – Starbuffs! Check out what you can order below:
Unlike the mess hall, Starbuffs doesn’t focus on filling meals, but rather energy-recharging beverages to put some pep in your step and keep you going longer than usual! Not only that, but the Jocks have their own preferences for drinks too – who do you think would prefer to drink what?
That’s all for the graphics previews for now, but we’ll continue to showcase more meals and restaurants throughout our future development diaries!
Part 3 – Background Department
Next up, let’s visit the background department and kick things off with Kyun and the Background Painting first, starting with a tour of Mythokos Beach! Previously previewed in 3D Renders before, check out the fully completed background artwork set of the Mythokos Area:
The beachside sure is beautiful! Whether you’re headed out for a day in the sun, a boatride to somewhere far away, or just a quick snack at the shack, you’re guaranteed for a good time! As we mentioned in our Three Year Update, the beach is one of the Date Locations, and there’s plenty to do (and see) inside!
Next up, let’s take a look at an interesting and often overlooked place on campus – Ace’s Room itself! We know we’ve seen this background many times throughout both demos, but you’ve never seen what it looks like from the other side, or even Ace’s bathroom – until now! Check them out, rendered by Micman, below:
Pretty cool to see the full picture of Ace’s room, and finally see what he sees, huh? Micman has fully rendered all of Ace’s Room and Bathroom, as we have discovered needs for both in the story, including for specific scenes that take place there – like the one below!
SPOILER WARNING REMINDER
Now that’s a familiar sight – if there’s one thing our protagonist loves to do, it’s to spend some ‘intimate me-time’. This new erotic scene will not replace the existing one in Demo 2.0, but will instead be played in a different part of the game!
Part 4 – Animation Department
Finally, to close out this Development Diary, and since we’re in a sexy mood thanks to Ace, let’s check out another brand-new filming animation! During our Three Year Update, we showed off the Missionary Animation, but that’s actually not the only missionary position in game!
Just like with previous animations, there’s a missionary animation variant for each performance stat, and we’re starting off the first one with everyone’s favorite sunshine twink, Leo and his unending Stamina! Check it out, animated by Monacodingo, below:
Leo’s sure having fun – and with everyone, not just Ace! Just like we’ve mentioned before, Puppet Animations are Fully Versatile, so you can have Leo top or bottom anyone you choose in any animation!
This Stamina Variant is only the first of the six variations of Missionary too – stay tuned for more previews and more character showcases like this in future development updates!
Physical Merch Preview – More Mousepads!
Finally, while our Development Diary is complete, we have one more special preview to showcase – due to the overwhelming success and reception of our previous mousepad merchandise, featuring Derek and Yoichi, we’ve decided to make more, with three new characters, including one of our Jock Studio Boys! Check them out below:
That’s right, three new characters AND three new designs – including two new style mousepads, Butt & Bulge designs for Taiga Akatora and Aiden Flynn as well as a Boob Mousepad for Bryce Callahan! These exciting items will be available for purchase very soon on the BLits Website, so please stay tuned for your chance to pick up another set of bouncy boobies or juicy butts – or maybe all three!
Closing Word
That’s all for this development update, Olympians, but we hope you enjoyed all these exciting previews, and be sure to take advantage of our ongoing sales! Also, if you haven’t heard yet, Seven Nexus Chapter Six just released last week – if you haven’t, now’s the perfect chance to give it a try as the story is fast approaching its conclusion!

wheres the 28?
https://www.blitsgames.com/jock-studio-development-update-28/
is it worth it to pre-order? i wasn’t able to join the fundraising years for jock studio years back since i was still jobless (but now i am LMAO) and i just cant mfin wait for this game. or should i just wait for its release and purchase it by then?
Preordering would guarantee a cheaper price compared to the full-released version! And all preorder sales contribute to the development of the project.
There is no disadvantage waiting for the game to be released first before purchasing!
Is there by any reference of the titan Chronos father of Zeus, Posidon and Hades in this game.
The more I read some of the comments, the more I realize how thirsty you guys are hahaha! In due time the game will release next year. Best case scenario, early 2027. Worst case scenario but still on theme, early summer of 2027. As an obviously heterosexual male*wink*, I do say, I am a tad bit embarrassed at the fact that I am actually excited and keeping tabs on this game🫢😅!
We cannot guarantee a specific timeframe at this moment, but our target to make a release on 2027 remains the same.
Thank you for keeping up with our updates! We will continue to work hard!
This is kind of strange. I thought scriptwriting happens at the early stages of game development not the last. Especially for visual novel games which everything depends on the story. Even though this is pretty much a dating sim, much larger than a visual novel game, 4 years of wait is overkill. with all that being said, I hope this game gets released very early in 2027
Unfortunately, our writing team in the first years of development is only composed of myself and Jey, and we two have been spread thin working on artwork and game mechanic development alongside. We recruited two more writers in the beginning of 2026 to help speed up the process, but it’s not a smooth journey as we are very protective and specific on how we want to portray the characters and their storylines. Scriptwriting is the part where we implement the ideas into actual in-game dialogues and develop the screenplay that comes alongside it.
We agree that 4+ years of wait has been dreadful for the fans. But all we can do is continue to keep working hard. We understand your frustrations and we carry this burden for as long as the project continues developing.
What we can promise are consistent updates on where we’re at on development.Thank you for your constructive criticism and concern about the entire project!
Eh, from the art, its pretty obvious that A TON of effort was put into just the art. However, I do agree with everything depending on the story. No point in playing the game if the dialogue is butt and the story is boring. Plus, I love a good story, it’s why we read yes?
We put a ton of effort in all aspect of the project. And it’s true that certain important aspects of the project rely on story being secure. A good example are Scene Arts (CGs) and Sex Scenes that relate to character development. We have drafted all the pose ideas, but we cannot customise the sequences and expression until we get to the part of the script where the dialogues have been fully written.
Can’t wait to play this masterpiece
Thank you for your encouragement!
Pls make game early access at steam
We have begun considering this option in order to be able to make an earlier release timeframe.
Do we have a matt route???
Are you guys working on a mobile version rn? or are you guys gonna finish jock studio first then work on it.
Just curious and I want to play demo 2 on mobile, I want to see my yoichii in demo 2 mobile
At the moment we are not working on the mobile version as we prioritize finishing the base game before creating different platforms and languages for it.
It will come out after the pc version i think
still no release date?
We only have our estimated target of 2027 at this time. We apologize for this extremely long wait.
I want to talk about the Game Calender. In Week 2-3, this is when Ace and Jaques will recruit more members for Jock Studio like after for example: After Avan made his solo debut, we will recruit Yuuto, Leo, Bryce, Zayne, and Derek? Something like that?
Yes, each of the jocks will have a recruitment stage similar to the events playable in Demo 1. There will be a variant if you don’t recruit them first.
Would you ever consider having like a line of character dildos from the series? Or previous series? I’d kill for a Yoichi toy
We have considered this in the past but we do not have much time to invest on working with a manufacturer just yet. Our merchandise department will keep looking into more merch options in the future!
Very nice progress! i loove the Mythokos painted bg they look absolutely beautiful, i feel fresh just by looking at them hahah, and the art teasers look hot! can’t wait to see them in game, keep up the good work, you guys are doing an amazing game!
now something unrelated to the development update, but are you guys planning in the future to give another mousepad to characters that currently has one? becuase i would loove to have a bulge & butt mousepad design for Bryce Callahan, like yeah i love his huge boobs but i also want to see Bryce’s huge butt in a position like Aiden and Taiga
Thank you so much for the compliments! Our painters and 3d artists have worked hard on these hand-painted background pieces! We will keep working hard!
Due to the success of the mousepads, we are likely to give more mousepad designs for popular characters! It will all depend on fan demand and sales data to make sure it is a profitable venture for our team.
Good development diary! Of the sketches, my favorite is Derek’s. I love that despite his imposing appearance we can have moments where this big guy transmits a lot of tenderness in his own way.
Thank you for the compliments! We will keep posting updates monthly!
I wish Jock Studio would’ve followed how Seven Nexus releases new content. I think the fans would’ve been very happy to at least have the first month playable while the team works on the rest and updating the game. That way people could play Jock Studio so no more waiting, and the funds could go to producing the later months. That’s maybe something to consider for later games. But I’m not only here to complain, I want to thank every member of the staff for working so hard to produce great content like this. The 3-year development diary really showed us how much work actually goes into a game like this. I appreciate all of the hard work that has been put into this game. Keep up the good work, I’m sure Jock Studio will be great once it comes out.
We are strongly considering an early access release format in order to be able to make a 2027 release. We know this is not ideal, but this might help with the fans wanting to experience Jock Studio even without the complete storyline. Our team has been stretched intensely trying to chase deadlines for years and we have struggled with the pressure and expenses trying to continue the development, so an early access launch might be able to help both fans and our development team.
Thank you for the feedback and your support throughout all the years.
As for me i’d prefer early access in steam, all who dont want early access just could wait for full release, all who want try now could try it now, devs will get additional funding, all should be happy
We have taken note of the fans suggestions for an early access! We were extremely hesitant at first, but this might be a way to satisfy the fanbase as well as ease up the intense pressure on our team.
well maybe for some fans they would be pleased by that, but leaving my opinion no one asked, i honestly i think me and a lot of other fans prefer to get a full game instead of bits of it every 2 months or so. I really don’t mind waiting for a game like this to be fully completed because i know i’ll get hours of gameplay and story when it’s released and the wait will be worth it,also i think is better to be able to complete the story fully at my own pace instead of being bound to wait for the next chapter, so i honestly hope they keep doing games like they always have and keep releasing them fully instead of chapters.
Thank you for your opinion. We have strongly considered early access in the past before, but we agree with the fans that 4+ years of waiting time has been frustrating. It has also stretched our team and funds to its absolute limits forcing us to partake on side projects and more merchandise ventures to generate more funding and employ our talents consistently.
Let’s see what I can make of those coffees:
I think you have gotten most of them correct! Certain meals would be preferred by a certain character when you pick it for them!
Bryce (by exclusion) is so real LMAO, i was looking at that list like “mans probably thinks coffee is a girly drink for pussies” LOL i feel like he’d be a red bull guy in terms of caffeine in reality
I can’t wait to buy Bryce’s mousepad
Thank you for your patronage!
I saw the new stuff about Ace’s room and the moment I saw them I was like, “I hope we get to see Ace indulging in these places.” only to be greeted by the next detail. Amazing work! Keep at it and wishing the entire team the best!
As we continue to write the story, certain scenarios sometimes present a new requirement in our asset department, and Ace’s shower was one of them! Thank you for your support and comment!
I rly wish there is belly inflation scenes for our bigger packing jocks. That would be so spicy to see.
We cannot confirm nor deny. But Zayne and Derek’s size are something, let’s just say that…
YOU SPILLED DON’T LET THEM SILENCE U
There might be. There were 2 scenes I remember in Scoutmaster Season between Goro and Yoshinori.
oooh yeah
and gaping holes, like Yoshi in CBSS 🤤
The updated content has given me a better understanding of the game，but in this update, I think Derek’s character sketch looks a bit strange at first glance.Will this be revised later?
Thank you for giving us your thoughts! The character sketch portrayed for Derek is deliberately drawn a different way due to the context of the scenario. We can’t wait for you to find out what it would be about!
Of course, I also hope that the game will get better and better, and I also recognize the efforts of every game producer. I hope the game developers will see this comment in the end.
We read everything! Thank you for spending time to give us your thoughts and constructive feedback!
Yes, nice progress for Jock Studio! Keep up the momentum
Thank you! We will keep working hard!
Can’t wait to rail the other Jocks as Leo 😏
