EDIT: The fans have spoken! We will be sticking with the OLD Semi-Realistic art style. Thank you for taking the time to comment and voting!
We would like your feedback on whether or not we should use a NEW Cell Shading style for the Prince of Suburbia Re-Impregnation DLC.
If you didn't already know, Auxiliaryout is back and will be working on the Prince of Suburbia Re-Impregnation DLC. We're thinking about using auxiliaryout's New Cell Shading style (like he has been using for his game, Her Last Piece).
Below is a comparison for Catherine. The NEW Cell Shading style is on the left (post-pregnancy) and the OLD Semi-Realistic style is on the right (pre-pregnancy).
NOTE: The "thicker" post-pregnancy look will be applied to characters for the OLD Semi-Realistic style sprites if we keep it too. It's not exclusive to the new style.
Pros:
Hey everyone. We have some BIG news! Auxiliaryouthas made a glorious return to ViM Studios!!! Please enjoy this special illustration with Catherine, Sarah, and the MC,courtesy of auxiliaryout. You can find all versions of this illustration (including 4k with and without the logo) in this link (CLICK ME):
What does this mean for our game development plans going forward? Let's get right into it.
Hey everyone! First off, we apologize for neglecting to communicate more frequently on the other platforms like Steam and Itch over the past several months. We hope this update clears up questions that many of you have been asking. The below contains news about our other game, A Shot in the Dark, which will impact Prince of Suburbia and other 2D game development. The impact will be more focus on 2D game efforts for the short term future (not just Prince of Suburbia). A Shot in the DarkDevelopment We wanted to wait and see how things were going to be on our end before communicating exactly what was going on with A Shot in the Dark. Now we have a pretty good idea as to what at least the short term future is going to be like for us and feel like we can communicate it to our fans. If you didn't already know, we have a kiddo. Over the past year and some our kid has been dealing with some major health issues. It reached the point a where we had to pull them out of school for the foreseeable future. All in all, the recovery process has been a lot more extensive than we originally anticipated. Josselynhas been taking on the task of homeschooling and supporting their recovery, but that means her availability to work on the business has been and still is extremely limited. With Josselynbeing the 3D render artist and the writer for A Shot in the Darkit should be clear as to why development on the game has slowed considerably. This means that TheOmegais focused on Prince of Suburbiaright now and 2D projects in general until we're able to get back into the swing of things with A Shot in the Darkat some point in the future. Josselynwill have more time available to work on A Shot in the Darkas our kiddo continues to recover and is able to do more things independently, but we can't give definitive time estimates on that right now. If you're an A Shot in the Darkfan we suggest you refrain from pledging further until we are developing the game on a more regular basis again. We do intend on finishing the game, but it's going to take longer than anticipated to get to that point which isn't ideal for anyone. We hope this transparency helps provide some insight as to the state of things right now and why we didn't feel comfortable sharing our situation until we were more certain of what the future looked like. All that being said, having to contend with these things over the past year has been very stressful for our entire family. It's taken quite a toll on all of us. We understand everyone's frustration. We'd be frustrated, too. Thank you everyone for your continued patience as we navigate this difficult time. Prince of SuburbiaPregnancy DLC The holidays slowed down the pace of work on the Prince of SuburbiaPregnancy DLC as our artists and animators took time off to celebrate with their families. The holiday season is normally like this for a lot of game studios so that's not really surprising. As mentioned before, the art and animations are and always have been the most time-consuming aspect of developing 2D games and continue to be. Once we have the art ready for the first mini-releaseof the Prince of SuburbiaPregnancy DLC we will release a beta version of it on Patreon and SubscribeStar not long after.
Hello everyone! We would like to hear your pregnancyAND re-impregnation(get pregnant again) scene suggestions that would like to see with your favorite characters in the game for the Prince of SuburbiaPregnancy DLC.
If you have ideas thatcan be fun with the theme/story/setting we're really interested in those too. One fun example is one of the scenes already decided with Soniaas a HuCowwith her cosplay outfit and all. The sky is the limit. Tell us what you've got!
We're taking suggestions for MC + female character (M+F scenes). We may decide to add a couple of MC + female character + female character scenes (M+FF scenes), so if you have ideas for those feel free to drop them here too. As always, there is no guarantee your idea will be chosen, but there is a very good chance we'll accept some of the idea suggestions from our fans!
Here is a reminder of all the characters we have in the game:
It's been a hot minute since we talked about our future plans for Prince of Suburbia with all of you, hasn't it? We appreciate your patience in waiting to hear about what's next. Let's start off with the unfortunate news first. For those that don't already know, we parted ways with auxiliaryout (the most recent artist and animator for Prince of Suburbia) a few months after the release of V1.0 (the end of the main story). He is a talented artist and animator and we wish him the best of luck with his future endeavors! So, that brings us to the next order of business. We are looking for a new illustrator and animator to help us continue the Prince of Suburbia story with a Pregnancy DLC! We've spent a lot of time reflecting in the past year about what players want and expect when they play Prince of Suburbia, and how to deliver the best experience possible. With that in mind, our two priorities when it comes to the future art for Prince of Suburbia are:
Last year we commissioned artwork for Steam community items (badges, etc) for Prince of Suburbia only to learn that Steam does not approve community items for Free-to-Play games without in-game purchases!
Since we already had them already made and ready to go, we figured we would release them to fans on all our platforms. We hope you enjoy!
We are excited to announce that A Shot in the Dark - Chapter 3 and the Walkthrough & Guide DLC are now available for purchase on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1853830/A_Shot_in_the_Dark/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2707830/A_Shot_in_the_Dark__Walkthrough__Guide/
We're super excited to announce that the final update (V1.0) of Prince of Suburbia - Part 2 will be available on Steam on Monday, November 20! All players who own the Part 2 DLC will receive this final free update to the game at 09:00 MST (UTC-7). Thank you to our incredible volunteers who have helped edit and polish the multiple translations of the game in preparation for the Steam release.
Last week we generated the machine translations of V1.0 into all supported languages. Our generous volunteers are currently working hard to edit and improve the translations. Once the translated scripts are proofread, we'll implement them into the game and begin testing builds in all languages. If you're interested in helping with the translation process, please reach out to us on Discord!
The final update (V1.0) to the Part 2 DLC will available on Steam in all supported languages after testing is complete (likely in late November or early December). Anyone who has purchased the Part 2 DLC on Steam will receive the new content as a free update to the game as soon as it's ready.
When we started Prince of Suburbia in 2017 as a side hustle hobby project, we had no idea what it would become. While the project has had many ups and downs over the years, we couldn't be happier with where it ended up. We are incredibly excited and proud to have brought it across the finish line!
Thank you to all of our fans and supporters for coming along with us on this journey! The Prince of Suburbia story may be coming to an end, but as a studio we are just getting started.
Prince of Suburbia will be wrapping up its main story soon with the release of V1.0. Our current plan after V1.0 releases and the base game is complete, is to create a standalone Pregnancy DLC with all of the characters that would be released in 2024. You can hear more about our future plans in this podcast episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4Jmx226Xpc We know many players have been patiently waiting to see all their favorite ladies with their big, pregnant bellies! It just didn't make sense to try to squeeze late pregnancy scenes into the main story, but we don't want to leave those players hanging. Soon we will begin polling Patrons and Subscribers to decide what scenes will be included in the Pregnancy DLC. Before we start polling, we'd like to give our community the opportunity to provide suggestions for what they'd like to see as the polling options. All scenes will be 1-on-1 MF scenes (MC and the female love interest).
Did you know our studio has a weekly podcast called Seedy AF where we talk about adult game development? In today's episode, we're answering all of your questions about the future of Prince of Suburbia and beyond:
A FREE UPDATE has been made to both Part 1 (FREE DEMO) and Part 2 (paid DLC) of Prince of Suburbia with remastered scenes, new content, and improved translations! Watch the V0.95 trailer on YouTube for a preview of what's new in this update! [previewyoutube=JbUT6l_5ml0;full][/previewyoutube] The V0.95 update adds new content to both Part 1 and Part 2:
A FREE UPDATE has been made to both Part 1 (FREE DEMO) and Part 2 (paid DLC) of Prince of Suburbia with remastered scenes, new content, and improved translations! The V0.95 update adds new content to both Part 1 and Part 2:
The V0.95 update is almost here! Testing of the English-only version has gone smoothly, and we are currently working on creating the localized versions for all languages that we support.
Since the last dev log, we've made machine translations of V0.95 into all supported languages. Our generous volunteers have been working hard to edit and improve the translations over the past two weeks. If you are interested in helping with the translation process, please reach out to us on Discord!
Once the translated scripts are ready, we'll implement them into the game and begin testing the localized builds. V0.95 will be available on Steam in all supported languages after testing is complete. Anyone who has purchased Prince of Suburbia - Part 2 (paid DLC) will receive the new content as a free update as soon as it's released.
We're on track for a fall release of V1.0, thanks to our talented artist, auxiliaryout, and writing help from Yvlan_Angel and Rachel Writes.
We've added three new animations to V1.0! Previously, Naomi, Sonia, and Fiona were planned to have illustrations only, but we decided to go out with a real bang and give every character in this final story update an animated scene. Art production for V1.0 is still on schedule, even with the addition of the three animations beyond what was originally planned.
Writing is progressing as our lead writer, Josselyn Stark, weaves the existing individual scripts into a cohesive update with some free roam elements. Rachel Writes is still working on a lewd scene for Lina, Catherine's boss, which includes different art for the two different versions of Lina's character. We have a few scenes left to write, including Catherine's lewd scene and a few non-lewd scenes to wrap up the story.
Here are some spicy previews of Naomi (remastered art) and Sarah (new art) from V1.0:
It's been a while since we polled the audience on who their favorite characters are. Knowing how our audience ranks the characters helps us make decisions about things like promotional art and marketing materials.
We currently have a free public poll on Patreon where you can vote on all your favorite characters:

So, come vote and make your voice heard! Let us know who all your favorite ladies are!
[previewyoutube=jfBmwxZoMyQ;full][/previewyoutube] Our studio has started a podcast about adult game development! It's something we've wanted to do for many years, so we finally pulled the trigger and started. Why a podcast? We love to talk about adult games! There's a lot of things that we want to share with the world, that we just don't have the time or desire to write down in a stuffy dev log. Basically, the goal of this podcast is to record the types of conversations we are already having, and let you be a fly on the wall to hear them! In today's episode, we're going to tackle a question that we get asked all the time: What's it like to work with your spouse all day? We know many of you have to be curious about how we navigate being both business partners and life partners! We need your questions for future episodes! Some questions we plan to answer in our next episodes:
We're excited to announce that ViM Studios and Deafperv have partnered together to bring you the "Busty Babes" bundle on Steam!

If you have already purchased Prince of Suburbia - Part 2, you can still get the full discount on Seducing The Devil with this bundle: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/33029/Busty_Babes_Bundle/
We are currently wrapping up art creation on the second beach update (V0.95) to Prince of Suburbia - Part 2 and beginning to plan the final update to the story (V1.0). We plan to release V1.0 as a free update to the Part 2 (paid DLC) during the second half of 2023. Note: V1.0 will not be your last opportunity to see scenes with your favorite characters! Our plan is to continue creating content as standalone stories that exist outside of the main story of Prince of Suburbia. (See last month's dev log for more information about our future plans.) Below are the characters that will have art in Prince of Suburbia - Part 2 (V1.0) that we are soliciting suggestions for. All scenes will be 1-on-1 MF scenes (MC and the female character).
The most recent version (V0.9 - through the first beach update) of the Prince of Suburbia - Part 2 paid DLC will be discounted 10% until March 23 for the sitewide Steam Spring Sale! This is the first opportunity since the V0.9 release to buy the Prince of Suburbia - Part 2 paid DLC for a discounted price!
Happy Valentine's Day to all of our Prince of Suburbia fans! A FREE UPDATE has been made to both Part 1 and Part 2 of Prince of Suburbia with remastered scenes, new content, and new translations! Part 1 now has two new remastered scenes (one with Heather, one with Naomi) that are available to all players. If you already saw the original scenes, you can access the remastered scenes in the gallery (they are #13 - Naomi and #18 - Heather). Part 2 now has the V0.9 content (the first beach update). Anyone who has purchased the Part 2 paid DLC can now start the game at the beginning of the V0.9 update, jumping into the story where the previous version (V0.8) left off. The first beach update, Part 2 - V0.9 of Prince of Suburbia includes:
As a Valentine's treat for all our Prince of Suburbia fans, we will be releasing a FREE UPDATE to Part 1 and Part 2 of Prince of Suburbia on Tuesday, February 14 at 08:00 AM MST (UTC/GMT -7h). This update will bring Part 2 - V0.9 (the first beach update) to the Part 2 paid DLC. If you have already paid for the Part 2 DLC, this free update will give you immediate access to the new content.
We are excited to announce that Prince of Suburbia - Part 2 (paid DLC) is now available for purchase!
This release is coming a bit later than we originally anticipated, but that extra time allowed us to add translations for all the languages currently supported in Part 1 (Chinese, Spanish, Italian and Polish)! We are very excited to be able to offer translations with the initial release, as we originally did not think it would be possible.
We also hope this release date will allow us to extend our launch discount beyond the first week due to the Steam Winter Sale. Pending Steam approval, Part 2 paid DLC will be discounted 10% from its launch today until the end of the Steam Winter Sale on January 5!
Prince of Suburbia - Part 2 is the final chapter of the Prince of Suburbia story, picking up where we left off at the end of Part 1. It currently includes 3 updates worth of content that have not been available to our Steam players until now!
Please be aware that the Part 2 paid DLC is still in development (currently V0.8). We have 3+ content updates planned to complete Part 2. New content will be added via FREE UDPATES for all players who have purchased the Part 2 paid DLC.
We can't wait for you to play the Part 2 paid DLC! We've truly saved the best for last!
