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,
~BLits Games
OMG this si incredible!! I love everything, although I would like there to be an anal sex animation (Even so I love everything)

i need ace in toga, idk why but i need him in a great and good toga costume

Would we ever get a scene aside from from Ace and a love interest like aside from puppet animation, like if we pair Yuto and Avan a scene plays with unique dialogues and animation scenes?
Please make Derek be versatile.
Not sure if this has already been mentioned in previous dev updates, but I’d like to leave a suggestion. When I played your other games I often wanted to revisit certain scenes. While the gallery includes the artwork, it only shows the images without the story or context.
It would be really awesome if you could add a button in the gallery that lets us choose between viewing the art or replaying the full scene
I second this! Allow us to have the option to replay the sex scenes outside the game saves. With dialogue and voice acting.
May I ask, are you going to include Toph, the wrestler from your Varsity-tier characters? I know it’s too late to change Bryce’s storyline but I feel like it could be better if you include one of Bryce’s frat bros in his story as a supporting character. If it is okay ofc.
Sorry, for my same multiple comments; please delete the rest if you want since 1 comment is enough…. hehe

Hello! It has not been officially announced yet but I can say we definitely have bigger plans for Toph/Topher for Jock Studio! We are unable to show it in this update as we wanted to focus more on our progress with Derek’s story summary completion!
May I ask, are you going to include Toph? One of your Varsity-tier characters? I know it’s late to change Bryce’s storylines, but you haven’t included Bryce’s frat bro art sprites in his story. I just want to know if you are willing to add another supporting character in his story
The game is based on a film club storyline. I’m not sure whether it’s possible to create scenes involving multiple characters, or themes like slavery or BDSM, to increase the level of excitement.
Hello! Multiple characters (threesome/orgies) are definitely something we want to do for Jock Studio, and is one of the goals acquired through the Kickstarter campaign! However, these features may not be available yet in the base game and will be part of future updates after the game releases.
Themes such as BDSM are confirmed to appear in-game – particularly the Filming minigame as we have previewed a Sex Dungeon as one of the filming locations. We will preview them in future updates!

Toga costumes are definitely top notch stuff. They make each of the characters look stunning. And the body proportions play nicely.
Thank you so much for your compliments! We worked very hard to design and draw them! We have more to show in future updates!
Great work! Do you have any new information about possible translations? I would gladly help to translate this game into polish! I did translation to Camp Buddy and also im in work to complete translation for Scoutmaster season so it would be an honor for me to help with Jock Studio!
Hello! Our team is actively working on researching a translation campaign for Sleepover:ReWake. Please stay tuned and we will inform once the translation campaign begins.
If the campaign works well, we will pursue to translate our bigger titles!
Great work! Do you have any new information about possible translations? I would gladly help to translate this game into polish! I did translation to Camp Buddy and also im in work to complete translation for Scoutmaster season so it would be an honor for me to help with Jock Studio!
The [PS – Don’t worry – they still don’t wear undies under the togas!] is just so cute!
Where is Ace’s Toga Costume anyway? Does that mean Ace won’t show up in daily festival scene?
Hi! Ace’s toga costume is the same as his ‘Festival Costume’! He will definitely show up all the time in the Festival arc of the game across all routes!
We need more Baras!
100%
i think u should keep the 2d background art ;(
The 3D Render Previews will be painted over to become 2D! The only 3D asset planned in the final output of the game would be the Minigame backgrounds as well as the Campus/City Maps!
I would really like him to release another demo or something; I feel very excited and anxious.
Hello! At the moment, we have no plans to create a 3rd demo as it would delay the completion of the full game by at least 2 months! We plan to focus all our time and resources into completing the full game! We will make an announcement if we change our plans! We hope for your continued support!
I wonder if they’ll include some sort of reference or nod to Heated Rivalry since it’s also about gay sports stuff. Especially since it looks like season 2 and Jock Studio should both be out next year.
Why? I don’t get the need for things to ‘reference’ each other… It adds nothing to the story other than making it appear dated in a few years time when that show is forgotten 😐
Please, don’t make the game has magic nonsense, and I hope Ace don’t have split personality or amnesia accidents plot points. I wouldn’t like that story part one bit, because it’s been done and million times before…. also… no news when a about a new demo, when the game is still 1 and half year away… disappointing.
We can confirm that there is no ‘fantasy/magic’ aspect in Jock Studio. But please note that even though we have a ‘realistic’ storyline, that everything is still fictional!
We can also confirm we do not intend for Ace to have your concerned plot points.

There is no double of Ace, the mysterious character they showed is a completely different one and is part of the arch of Derek’s route. In addition, Zael confirmed in the comments of one of the development diaries that Jock Studio has no plans to release more demos since they want to finish investing in the full game.
If it helps, according to the creators it is expected that if they put a lot of work on it this year, we may have the full game by the next year (2027).
Thank you very much for your informative comment! We try to communicate as transparently as we can with our project development!
I have a question: does the game have a mobile version? Also, in Demo 1 I noticed that the character Zayne had body piercings on his chest and genital area, which looked very appealing, but they were no longer present in Demo 2. Will the official release consider including these piercings for Zayne?
Hello! Currently, we are prioritizing the development of the full game for PC/Mac devices! As soon as we complete the base game is only when we are able to look the possibility to implement a mobile version.
Zayne in Demo 1 does not have piercings on his chest but does have it on the genital area. It’s is present in Demo 2.0, but perhaps you may be referring to the piercing being covered by his foreskin.
The official release plan to maintain the piercings on Zayne!
I’m beyond amazed by the progress you guys made in the last few years, and I’m excited to see what you guys share in the next 12 months. Keep up the good work! Those 69 animations: nice.
Thank you so much for your continued support and attention throughout the years! Passionate game development takes a lot of time, resources and dedication. We do not plan on losing our momentum and will keep working hard until the release of the game!
The mysterious character who appears next to Griff has a somewhat gloomy aura… should we be terrified?
That’s probably the guy that Derek said looks similar to Ace, looking at the hair and build. I think in the demo there was already implications of Derek getting this person into the porn industry and them suffering *something* because of it, and Derek blaming himself, hence his caution and apprehension and stuff. Though the specifics might change from the demo and there isn’t much in the first place. But yeah, sad story incoming.
It is interesting to see the fan speculation with such a limited preview! We would love to reveal more but it would spoil the experience of the story!
There are more exclusive spoilers available in rare occassions during art streams in our fan discord server for those who are interested and doesn’t mind spoilers!
“Just like Hopper & Kol, Griff has been upgraded to be a part of Derek’s story”
I think you forgot to mention Dante (one of Varsity-tier characters too) from Zayne’s route but yeah i’m so happy that Griff has been promoted to be a part of Derek’s story, i can’t wait to see all of their interactions uwu~ Thank you for your hard work guys, you’re all amazing!!!
Thank you for pointing it out! This is an oversight in our update-writing.
We can confirm that Dante indeed had received a major role upgrade in Zayne’s storyline!
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!
Derek’s story probably isn’t one of those ‘replacement lover’ tropes, right?
