Fellow Olympians, it’s time for another Jock Studio Development Update, featuring news & previews from what the team has been up to over the past month! Please read the full content of the update, as it contains news for all fans of Jock Studio and BLits Games!

Development Update #24 – New Backgrounds, Story & Programming Updates, Puppet Animations and Side Character Sprites!

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

Part 1 – New 3D Backgrounds!

Last month, we had an extremely exciting preview of the City Map Concept, and in the updates before that, we started showcasing the 3D Models of the various locations around the city, including the Mythokos and Santomarino Areas! Now we’re back with two more locations, which you’ve seen from above on last week’s update!

Modeled by Sana and Micman, these two locations represent the landing areas of the Agora and City Business District, which has been named the Emporio!

The Agora, as described in the last update, is a massive shopping complex, filled with stores galore – get your shopping on here and buy items for Ace or the Jocks, take the Jocks on dates to the exciting Arcadia and Cinema attached to the complex or go for the wine and dine option at several different restaurant options!

Meanwhile, the Emporio is the city’s business district, filled with high-rise buildings, commercial activity and fancy, designer stores! When here, you can spend your hard-earned cash on luxury, or even find a nice apartment to settle down with!

There’s still lots more to see of the city, as well as the completed City Map in the future, so stay tuned for more information!

Part 2 – Story Update

Next up, we’re going to give an update on the story department, and what the writers have been up to! When we last updated the story department in February, we were happy to announce all the Story Summaries for all characters, including the main plot outline of the game, had been completed!

We also previewed a little bit of the Dining Minigame Chat Dialogues, a type of additional writing we’re doing to make the game feel more alive! There’s actually a whole host of categories to this, and we’ve made a handy graphic to explain – check it out below:

So, what does this all mean? Don’t worry, we’ll explain! Essentially, Jock Studio is divided into three distinct event types, as seen on the graphic above. Each of these event types has their own subtypes too, which we’ll explain!

First up, we have Main Events. These are the meat of Jock Studio’s story – where the main plotline unfolds, as well as most of the character story routes are uncovered. Think of these as the classic visual novel-style events that everyone is familiar with, where you’re progressing along the story just like you would in our other titles! These events are automatically unlocked as the game progresses or certain affection level with a Jock has been met!

• Special Note: As these events are the MOST story focused, we are not going to preview many, if any of these from here on, to avoid spoilers.

Next, we have Character Events, an extremely important category which fleshes out the world of Jock Studio and lets you get to know the Jocks (and other characters)! These events are usually accessible during your Free Time, and you must travel to specific locations to unlock these events! They’re further divided into three subcategories:

• Jock Events: Events that focus around the boys we love the most – the pursuable Jocks! These usually give you new tidbits of info about the Jocks, like what they like and dislike the most, or their principles are (plus some obligatory fanservice~)
• Matchmaker Events: Part of our Kickstarter Campaign, Matchmaker events are specific types of events where Ace can start to grow a pair of Jocks closer together! If you attend enough of these events, the Jocks might eventually start acting really friendly with each other… Maybe even more than just friends!
• Side Character Events: Finally, the third category of events would be for our beloved Side Characters! While they already have important roles to play on the Jock’s individual story arcs, they’re people too – and they have their own personalities for you to explore with these events!

As you may imagine, this category of events is quite heavy, and as such, Jey and Zael have already pre-storyboarded each of the events and hired a brand-new writer to join the team, Spectral Otter! Spectral Otter is assisting us with writing these Character Events, and we can’t wait to preview some of his work in the near future!

Our final category of events, the Basic Events, were teased a little in last month’s update with the Character Interaction Interface! Like we described back then, there’s all kinds of unique actions you can do with the Jocks on a daily basis, and while these events won’t necessarily reveal much about the Jocks, it’ll still get you more time to know them and hang out with them daily!

There’s a whole host of categories of Basic Events, as seen above, including:

• Chat: The most comprehensive category – ask the Jock their thoughts on the current week’s events, or what they think about the location they’re currently in!
• Flirt: Similar to the Dining Minigame, you can send a compliment, seduce, or even get touchy and pinch some cheeks (either one), sneak a kiss, or describe what you’ll do to them later…
• Gift: Got something nice you wanna give the Jocks? Pass it to them here, and see if they love it (or hate it). Either way, their reactions would be amusing to see!
• Study: Studying isn’t usually fun, but it’s better with a buddy! Join the Jocks for a study session to improve both of your performance stats and grow more affection!
• Dine: Sharing a meal together is one of the quickest ways to someone’s heart – especially if it’s with their favorite foods!
• Spectate: Everybody likes a cheering squad, and the Jocks are no different! Attend their practices and give them some extra motivation!
• Sex: Finally, probably the most exciting feature, get close enough with the jock of your choice and you’ll be able to hookup with them whenever you (and they) feel like it. After all, a quickie a day keeps the doctor away!

We’ll tease some dialogues of these types of events in the future, but as you can imagine, there are A LOT of these Basic Interactions throughout Jock Studio – for reference there are over 2000 unique Basic Events already story-boarded, with generous amounts per category! We hope that this wide variety of options makes every gameplay experience of Jock Studio fun and unique, and encourages everyone to replay the game many times over!

That’s all for the Story Department, but hopefully some of this update excites everyone in terms of what’s to come in Jock Studio! We’ll update with more story information when we can, so please stay tuned!

Part 3 – Programming Updates

Next, to follow up with the Story Department, we just want to give a quick shout-out to the Programming Department – while we don’t have a visual to show here, we have exciting news: The Programming Department has begun assembling the full game of Jock Studio, starting with game weeks 1 through 5!

As they continue to assemble the game, they are polishing all the implemented mechanics we’ve been previewing on these Development Diaries, and initial testing has begun to ensure that all events and mechanics run smoothly – the further along they get, the closer Jock Studio will be to completion!

We’ll have more teasers to show from the Programming Department in the near future, so please stay tuned!

Part 4 – Puppet Animations: First Penetrations!

Next up, our Animation Department has something exciting to show – over the last few months, we’ve teased lots and lots of different Foreplay Animations, but it’s time to get down and dirty – with the first Penetration Animation, animated by Zemyx! Check it out below:

Ace is a lucky boy – and so are the Jocks! The first penetration animation, Rider, just like all our other animations, is fully reversible! This means that you can choose whether to put Ace (or the Jocks) on top or bottom, giving you full control of the scene!

This is only the first of the penetration sequences too – there’s a few more to show in the future, so please stay tuned!

Part 5 – Sprite Costume Previews

Finally, to wrap-up this development diary just like we did last time, we have even more Side Character Sprite Costumes to showcase! Last time, we showed off the sexy toga attires of each of the Side Characters, but now we have something even spicier to show – their towel outfits! Check them out below:

It’s amazing the creative ways these characters find to wear their towels, isn’t it? Designed and drawn by Zael, AlexW and Magia, these side characters will be baring it all (with a handy towel conveniently hiding the goods)

We’ll have a couple other side character costumes in the future, but that’s for a different development diary!

Closing Word

That’s all for this update, Olympians, but we hope you’ve enjoyed all these exciting previews we’ve showcased! As always, we’ll have another Jock Studio Development Update next month, so please stay tuned!

As a reminder from our previous development updates, we would like to answer the following frequently asked questions:

• Jock Studio is expected to release in 2027.
• Currently, only Jock Studio’s Demo 1 is available for Android. Our priority is to develop the full game for PC/Mac at this time.
• There are no plans for an additional demo at this time. Our priority is to complete the base game at the soonest time possible.

Note: Please read our previous development updates for more specific details about this information.

We’ll also have another exciting update next week – the Goro Gentleman Studio Figure Collaboration sales will begin! Please stay tuned for more new information next week!

As always, thank you for your support, Olympians!

Lots of love,
