Fellow Olympians, it’s time for another Jock Studio Development Update, and this one is chock-full of content! We’ve got an update on our Physical Merchandise for Kickstarter and PledgeManager Backers, as well as a very chunky Development Diary with lots of exciting content and teasers. Please read the full text of the update, as it contains information for all fans of Jock Studio and BLits Games!

Kickstarter Physical Merchandise Update

First up, we’re starting off with some great news – Jock Studio’s Kickstarter Physical Merchandise will be beginning to ship soon, within the next few weeks! After a great deal of logistical work, designs from our art team, printing and manufacturing, we’re now at the final packing and distribution stages for most merchandise!

We thought it’d be interesting to share some details about this process, especially where each physical merchandise item is right now, and how many have been ordered and made! Checkout the information below:

We’ll have more information when everything has started shipments, so please stay tuned, and thank you all for your patience throughout this exciting process!

Development Diary #15 – Story Updates, New Backgrounds, and New Filming Animations!

Next, let’s go into our 15th Development Diary, featuring updates on what the team has been working on since our last update! We have a lot to show here, so please read the full update in detail!

SPOILER WARNING – The New Side Character Section may contain some spoilers for character stories. If you prefer to avoid this, please skip this section!

Part 1 – Story Updates

First up, we had mentioned in a previous Development Update that Jock Studio’s main calendar timeline had been completed, as well as the main game’s plotline. Since then, we’ve been working hard at the individual character story outlines, and we are happy to report that we have already completed Story Outlines for half of the cast – Avan, Bryce and Yuuto! But what exactly is a story outline?

Story Outlines involve all major events that occur throughout a character’s story, including things like Dates (previewed in our recent dev update), Sex Scenes, character development events, route-exclusive events, and most importantly, endings (both good and bad)!

With these outlines completed, each of these three characters are now ready to proceed into the detailed storyboarding phase, which will begin after all remaining characters have had their Story Outlines complete!

Part 2 – New Backgrounds!

Next up, we have both some new 3D Background Renders, as well as new Painted Backgrounds as well! To kick things off, let’s start with the new 3D Renders, showcasing three new areas of Olympus University:

The Stadium is arguably the grandest building on Olympus University’s campus, and although you could visit the exterior in Demo 2.1, the inside remained a mystery – until now! Watch a match from the bleachers, or get involved in one yourself from the field directly!

And once you’re done with all that exercise, sweat off some stress in the Thermae – a beautiful feature of the campus dorms! Get nude with your buddies and soak in the relaxing waters – free for any student on campus!

That’s all for our 3D Renders previews, but we also have some painted backgrounds to show off as well! Check them out below:

Previously previewed as 3D Renders back in March 2025, our background artist, Kyun, has been hard at work painting all five of these beautiful god houses – now you can visit each one, alongside the already-visitable House Dionysus in Demo 2.1!

That’s all for background updates!

Part 3 – New Puppet Animations!

Finally, the Filming Minigame is where all the sexy magic happens in Jock Studio, and you’ve already gotten to experience several of the amazing animations in Demo 2.1, but those are far from the full list of sexy moves the Jocks can learn! The first new animation series, the Chest Series, can be seen below:

Just like our previous filming animations, each of the different performance stats has a chest series animation tied to it, and you can unlock these by training up your performance stat levels in the full game! And why wouldn’t you – who doesn’t love flicking a nipple or groping a chest?

There’s tons more filming animations to showcase, but that’s all for this preview!

SPOILER WARNING – Potential Character Story Spoilers start below. Please proceed at your own caution!

Part 4 – New Side Characters!

Last but not least, working on Story outlines also gave us the opportunity to identify another exciting aspect for Avan, Yuuto and Bryce – their route’s side characters!

Jock Studio isn’t a small world – Olympus Univeristy is a bustling campus filled with students, and some of these individuals have existing relationships with our main cast! Each character’s route will feature a variety of side characters, each one supporting the growth of the Jock, whether it be for better or worse!

First up, we have the side characters for Avan’s Route – three other members of House Poseidon! Check out their design sketches below:

These three sexy guys, like mentioned above, are all a part of House Poseidon, although only Colt is part of the swim team with Avan – he’s even the captain! Dax and Alon, on the other hand, are part of the Water Polo Club and Diving Club respectively, which are the other sports clubs of House Poseidon! There’s more to tell about these three, but you’ll have to wait for the full game for those reveals!

Next up, we have the side characters for Bryce’s route – his family members! Check out their design sketches below:

Like father like son (and brother)! Bryce comes from a strong family line, as can be seen by Bruce’s dominating figure. Not only that, but he has a brother – and not just any brother, a TWIN brother, Brody! Both of these two characters will make their debuts on Bryce’s route, so stay tuned for the full game for more information about them!

Finally, we have a single side character(for now) reveal for Yuuto’s route – someone he’s already fondly mentioned as early as day 1:

Well isn’t he just as adorable as Yuuto said? Baku is Yuuto’s mischievous Shiba, and his best friend! You can look forward to Baku and Yuuto’s antics on his route inside of the full game! As you can see above, there are also some other side characters on Yuuto’s route, but we prefer to keep them secret for now!

That’s all for this update’s side characters feature, but don’t worry Leo, Zayne and Derek fans – we’ll have these three character’s route-exclusive side characters to show off in a later development update, so stay tuned!

Closing Word

That was quite the development update! As you can see, our team has been working very hard, and making great progress on Jock Studio’s development! We hope that everyone enjoyed these previews, and as always, you can expect another Development Update from us next month with more news, as well as updates about the Kickstarter Physical Merchandise shipments very soon!

In the meantime, like we mentioned Monday, we have a very exciting announcement related to our recently announced collaboration title, Seven Nexus, on Monday, June 23rd – tune in for that reveal at our usual update times!

Thank you as always for your support, Olympians, and we’ll see you Monday!

Lots of love,
