Hello everyone and Merry Christmas!

We hope all of you have a safe, happy, and wonderful Christmas this year, and we\'re excited to show you guys what we can bring in 2026!

With the new year just around the corner, we felt it was important to touch base and talk a bit about the year just gone, but more importantly, the future of the project.

It\'s no secret that 2025 was both an incredible, but very challenging year for us since launching on steam. We have to admit, we were a little overwhelmed by both the incredible support, and the demand for more.

It\'s also no secret that behind the scenes we did have some internal difficulties with staff leaving that were, unfortunately, out of our control - this did leave us in limbo, with the end of Act 1 update in particular taking far longer than we would have liked.

Since then, we have hired on new, talented staff and had a complete overhaul of how we internally handle our work flow, and I believe, the results are speaking for themselves.

... But I don\'t wanna focus too much on the past, not with all the incredible things in the works we have planned for the future!

[u]Firstly,[/u] as some of you may know, we\'ve long been chipping away at revamping some of the old, outdated art from the very early days of production to try to create a more consistent visual experience for you guys - hopefully, from the example image below, you\'ll be able to see the kind of vast improvements we\'ve been making.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/44562767/e59cd34a7f6f72aa472a65d7e476f4199988f76c.png\"][/img]

[u]Secondly,[/u] in the earlier days of production, we dabbled around with sprite movement in-game, (blinking, breathing, mouth opening when talking) as well as combat animations. At the time, this had to be pulled due to it causing lag issues within the game... We\'ve since resolved those issues, so combat animations will be returning in full.

[u]Thirdly[/u][u],[/u] one thing we\'ve always expressed, is our desire to hopefully expand upon the Parasite Black universe into new, creative ventures. This so far includes a prequel game, called Dreams Of Celeste, which we will be revealing more details on in the coming months, and, additionally, a manga.

I want to reassure everyone reading this that these ventures in no way hinder, or delay, the production of the main game. We have hired on staff specifically for these tasks.

Below are a couple early work in progress samples of what\'s to come!

[u]Early sketch art 2 (Above)[/u]

And finally, I wanted to spend a moment to discuss the upcoming latest update.

[u]First and foremost, I want to get out the way that our patreon/subscribestar release is likely to be delayed from 31st of Dec to around Mid-ish Jan[/u]. (I won\'t give an exact date till I\'m sure). With Christmas holidays and such, staff have had family commitments and holidays, so, we were perhaps overconfident there - but, we live and learn and can only apologize for the inconvenience.

I\'d like to reiterate that our art is handmade and crafted by a team of dedicated artists, including additional artists we call in for support when necessary. We do not use AI in making our art.

With that said, this update is spicy... Like, jam packed with lewdness, and we hope you guys will enjoy it when you get it into your hands.

The Tarbecks... Part I

\"After surviving the arena, once more, the Greater Trading Company now force your hand to persuade the other obstacle hindering their path... Lord Tarbeck, famed for his debauchery and lust.\"

\"Forced to attend one of his evening parties, you must uncover some way to persuade him to give the GTC what they want... or else.\"

\"But Lord Tarbeck\'s parties are no simple evening affair, and guests eager to get close to Lord Tarbeck must first play his twisted, perverted games.\"

\"With a host of lovely ladies already at your side, the only question is,\"

\"Which Cinderella will you bring to the ball?\"

... And with that, that\'s all we at Damned Studios have to say,

Merry Christmas,

and a happy new year!

That\'s all for now, spicier and more exciting updates to come!

- Damned Studios

Hey guys!

Just got a couple of things wanted to discuss with you guys regarding the next update, etc...

First and foremost, we\'ve managed to fix the recent bug surrounding the crooked shaft mining co not paying out any cash after investing AND why the steam achievements are currently not working.

However, we\'re having a couple issues with getting together the steam build with the fix, therefore [u]the fix for steam users will be up on Monday - Sorry for any inconvenience.[/u]

Other important news: At the coders request, the tech/QOL update will now be out the 15th of September instead of the end of this month. This doesn\'t really affect you guys too much, but just in case anyone was waiting around there on that.

Now, onto news with the next major update. We\'re still working on it and gathering the assets. This update WILL continue the main story and further expand the free city of Hamun. I do see people continue to ask if they will get to return to Novaras, not that I like giving spoilers, but yes, rest assured you will get to return and finish up any content there you didn\'t finish.

This update will also hugely expand upon the lore of the Parasites and more...

Thank you to everyone for your patience and kind words about the game so far, we do know we\'ve had a bit of a rocky start since making the plunge to steam, but we\'re doing our best to adapt quickly.

If you guys have any questions, please ask them below or over on the discord, and we\'ll try to answer them as best as we can. https://discord.gg/uMjfkAYMHm

Hello adventurers!

We wanted to take a moment to discuss some important news, changes, and hopefully clear up any misconceptions.

Moving forward now, we plan to release a series of smaller, but steady releases as we build upon Act 2, both adding side content and continuing the main story. We think this is an incredibly exciting time to be a fan; its a lot of work on our part, but we think were building something special.

[u]The Release schedule explained:[/u]

Wed like to take a moment to explain how our release schedule works This info/dates can be found in a thread for the community to discuss as well.

The way our release schedule works is that our patron supporters pay a monthly subscription (with different tiers of financial support) and receive the latest content updates first. These users help us with various bug-fixes so that when it arrives for Steam users, the experience is hopefully much more polished. Steam users then receive the update after. [u]We want to stress that steam users receive ALL the same content[/u]. The tradeoff for steam users is that they only must pay once, but they need to wait a little longer, which we feel is the fairest system for everyone.

[u]Changes to the schedule:[/u]

With that said, after taking on board some feedback. Rather than making steam users wait a full month like with this release just gone, steam players will now receive access to the beta 2 weeks from its beta launch and then access to the finished build one week after that (3 weeks).

[u]Current release outline plan for Parasite Black for 2025![/u]

Please note, all these dates are considered approximate If theres any delays for whatever reason, well give the heads-up.

Finally, we\'d like to thank everyone for your support so far,

without your incredible support, none of this would be possible,

Hey everyone,

Were nearly done. The update that finishes Act 1 is locked in and coming soon. Were not giving an exact date, but it will be out this month. Right now, were just fixing the last few things and making sure everything runs smoothly.

This update took longer than wed planned. Some of it was out of our hands issues with one of our artists, staff getting sick, general chaos. You know how it goes.

That said, weve made some serious changes behind the scenes. Brought in fresh talent, and tightened up our pipeline. We're not going to pretend there wont be bumps now and then, but going forward were aiming to drop smaller updates more often keep things moving, keep the momentum up.

Thanks for sticking with us. Your support means the world. Weve got a bunch of cool stuff comingsome of it weird, some of it hot, all of it awesome. Heres a little tease:

The next post you see from us will be the release announcement.

Stay tuned.

Damned Studios

Hello everyone!

We wanted to give you all a quick heads-up on the next big update coming to Parasite Black.

Right now, the new build is going through its early access phase with our Patreon and SubscribeStar supporters. This gives us a critical window to catch and iron out any bugs or technical issues before we push it live on Steam. Their early access helps ensure that when the update lands here, it will be as stable and polished as possible.

Barring any unforeseen issues, the Steam release is scheduled to drop approximately one month from now.

This update features:

• The first major battle sequence in Parasite Black

  [/*]

• Plenty of new spicy content

  [/*]

• New art contributions from our recently expanded art team

  [/*]

• Stability and coding improvements to streamline future releases

  [/*]

• And while some content (like additional Regina scenes) had to be temporarily postponed due to recent staffing changes, rest assured those additions are still planned for future updates.

Were also working behind the scenes on several translation projects (Chinese, Japanese, and others) and further staff expansion to keep production moving smoothly.

As always:
Thank you all for your support, you're the reason we're able to keep building this world.

Stay tuned for more,

After 2 years of work, My Bimbo Dream - Season 1 is officially out.

This game is a twisted mix of bimbofication, corruption, and branching adult storytelling made with Ren'Py, Daz3D, Blender. Its unapologetically NSFW, morally messy, and totally ours.

Three full routes. 18+ hours of TOTAL content. A lot of sweat, script edits, and render crashes later, were here.

Thanks to everyone who tested, supported, or helped build it.
If youve been waiting for the full version: nows the time.

(18+ only, obviously)

Enjoy!

Hey everyone,

After a lot of planning (and some second guessing), were aiming to drop the end of Act 1 update around late June!

We try not to throw out dates too early, because wed rather avoid walking them back later unless we absolutely have to. That said, were making great progress still lots of implementing and playtesting ahead but this ones definitely shaping up to be one of our biggest and most ambitious updates yet.

Whats in the Update?

In the dark depths of the realms below, power and status depend on passion and promiscuity. It is a world of wonders where only women dwell and the priestesses of the Queen of Phalli rule unmatched.

Young Elifael El'Naar must prepare for her Baptism, a perilous ceremony to prove her loyalty to her House and devotion to the Goddess. Should she succeed, she will have taken her first step to becoming a priestess herself. Should she fail, she may lose her status and even her mind.

- Deep Narrative Immersion: Over 200.000 handwritten words, waiving a story that seeks balance between character development, plot, and overly abundant sexual content.

- Overly abundant sexual content: Elifael will not limit her escapades to her mother and sisters. Throughout her journey, she will meet exotic and fascinating creatures such as gnomes, goblins, centaurs, and even humans.

- Beautiful Hand-Drawn Artwork: Each and every one of the over 200 illustrations in the game has been carefully and lovingly painted by a human hand.

- Branching Choices: Elifael must fight for her sisters' affection and respect. Yet only one path can be walked at a time, so choose carefully.

- Complex, Mature Themes: The society of the realms below is an alien and bizarre world, where everything is about sex except for sex. Sex is about power.

- Multiple Endings: Will Elifael stay true to her faith or her heart? Will she choose a sister over the other, or will she be the glue holding her family together? Will she endure the baptism or will she lose everything along the way? You decide.

Hey guys, it's time for some official news!

New Artist Joins the Team

First and foremost, we've brought on a new artist to the project: Shamp Shamp! We believe they'll not only help speed up production, but also bring some truly amazing new art to the game. We're dying to show off their work to you guys! :)

Huge Update Incoming

On the development side, we're continuing to implement the script while gathering the remaining assets for the next update. Please bear with us a little longer this upcoming update is one of the biggest we've ever put out (despite a few production hiccups along the way).

Theres a lot to be excited about in this update, including:

- New lewd scenes (spicy content for our adult adventurers!)
- A whole new city to explore (welcome to Hamun!)
- Major lore drops in the main story (big reveals are coming)
- New OST tracks (fresh music to set the mood)
- Additional QoL improvements (for a smoother gameplay experience)

Keep your swords (and claws) sharp...

Prequel Project: Dreams of Celeste

Meanwhile, development is also moving smoothly on our prequel game, Dreams of Celeste. We're busy gathering character models and other assets for that project as well. (More on that soon!)

The City of Hamun

Our new city Hamun is shaping up nicely! Our first goal is to make sure the city is at least functional (shops, basic services, etc.). Ideally, we want to include a few fun things to do in Hamun for this release, but how much we can pack in will depend on our timeframe. Once the city is a bit more stable and everything's working as it should, we'll share some footage of Hamun in action to show you guys. We can't wait to give you a sneak peek of this exciting new location!

That's all for now. But don't worry, more news and plenty of crazy things are coming soon! Stay tuned...

In the meantime, what new feature are you most excited about? Let us know in the comments below we always love hearing your thoughts. As always, you guys are awesome you keep the lights on around here!

Love,

The Damned Studios Team

Hey everyone,

Were back with an exciting progress update on Parasite Black! This update is shaping up to be huuuge! Theres a ton of new content in the works, and things are coming together nicely. That said, with so many assets to prepare, we dont want to lock in a release date just yet but rest assured, were getting closer every day.

Whats Coming:
[u]Act 1[/u] Our goal is to round off Act 1, setting the stage for the next big steps in the story.
[u]Act 2[/u] Were aiming to add a small portion of Act 2 as well.
[u]Free City of Hamun[/u] Were working hard to make the Free City of Hamun fully functional, introducing new places to explore and characters to meet.
Barati Card Game Were hoping to roll out the card game Barati as a new mechanic its still in development, but its looking very promising!

Regina Update:
Weve started preparing Reginas assets and received some spicy new material from the artist recently. However, the majority of Reginas content will likely come in a later update, as communication with the artist remains tricky. Were exploring all options and hope to have more news on this soon.

Moving Forward:
This update should bring a lot of new lore, exciting gameplay, and meaningful story progression. Were genuinely excited about how its coming together and cant wait to share it with you!

If youve got any questions, drop them here or join us on Discord , well do our best to get back to you.

Exciting things are on the horizon!

The Parasite Black Team

Hey guys, we have a bit of important news to discuss some potential changes coming.

As some of you are aware, recently, one of our artists has been missing. While they have managed to make contact and deliver some work, communication lines with them are very difficult. We have managed to get a hold of them, maybe once or twice a month. We've been holding back on commenting further on the issue in the hopes that it resolves itself soon, but this does seem to potentially be a long-term issue.

Unfortunately, and while I can't delve too deep into their personal issues, for context, they live in a relatively unstable area in one of the south Americas, with both limited internet issues and rampant gang violence that seems to be having a flair up recently.

We've attempted to find an artist to fill in the void while hopefully things settle, and while the art produced was very high quality, unfortunately, for PB we fear it will just create more inconsistencies in the long run.

Furthermore, we're not exactly thrilled at the prospect of kicking someone while they're down, (aka, firing them and replacing them altogether), due to circumstances completely out of their control.

As such, when we did manage to have contact with the artist, with their permission, they agreed to allow us to use AI when necessary, based on their art to create new scenes possibly given the circumstances.

I want to stress that none of the art staff are being let go, in fact, we've hired on MORE art staff recently and their regular work will continue as normal.

Furthermore, any AI art produced, we plan to have the existing artists check it over to ensure it's the highest quality we can get it.

We further hope, of course, this approach will help speed up our production, but we are still entirely committed to delivering the highest quality we can.

We haven't made this decision lightly, we had many internal debates, and we're aware of the sensitive nature of AI, but we hope given the circumstances, and how we're handling things, you and the rest of our fans will be understanding.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. If the situation changes for whatever reason, we will let you know.

Thank you.

Just a quick update! Parasite Black is currently 10% off for a special week-long discount, so if you or a friend have been thinking about picking it up, nows a great time!

Development Update

Work on the next update is progressing well, though given its scale, we may release it in two parts to get new content into your hands sooner. The Second Great Siege of Novaras is turning into a massive undertaking, and rather than delaying everything, were considering moving The Free City of Hamun and its content to the following update, depending on how things go. Our goal is to balance quality with a steady release schedule, and we appreciate your patience!

Hey everyone!

We just wanted to touch base and share some exciting updates on the development of Parasite Black. Things are progressing smoothly, and were thrilled with the progress weve made so far!

Combat Balancing:
Weve nearly completed the first round of testing for combat balancing and refinement. Things are shaping up nicely, and were down to fine-tuning the last couple of enemies. Were also hard at work on some much-requested QOL improvements! One of the big additions is optional easy and hard modes, giving players the freedom to choose the level of challenge they want to face.

Audio & Visual Tweaks:
Once the combat balancing is finalized, well move on to polishing a bit more the audio and visuals. Expect some exciting improvements that enhance the overall experience and immerse you even further in the world!

Scripts and Art:
The team is continuing to implement the scripts, gather stunning new art, and ensure everything comes together before the release. Its a lot of work, but its so worth it to make this game the best it can be!


Were grateful for your continued support and cant wait to share more as we move closer to release. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, feel free to drop your thoughts or suggestions in the comments belowwe love hearing from you!

Until next time,
The Parasite Black Team

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to drop by with an update on how things are progressing!

First and foremost, if you havent already, please make sure to wishlist Parasite Black! Every wishlist makes a huge difference, and with the release coming up fast, your support is more important than ever!

Mika Update Progress
Weve gathered almost all the art assets for the Mika update, and once we wrap up some final technical improvements, well be aiming to release it as soon as possible! In the meantime, were already shifting focus to gather artwork for the massive Steam release update. It's an incredibly exciting time for usand hopefully for you as wellas fans of Parasite Black!


(WIP) Another chaotic scene from the second battle of Novaras.

Combat Overhaul
Weve temporarily dismantled the combat system once again (dont worry, itll be back soon and better than ever!) to address lag and improve the overall feel. The goal is to make combat faster and smoother, and so far, the results have been really promising.


The new default combat experience will streamline animations, leaning towards a Darkest Dungeon-style speed and fluidity. As you can see, battles are now much faster and more dynamic. For those who prefer the classic, full-animation experience, well include a toggle option, though it may still cause some lag, as before.

Were also finalizing new skills, balancing mechanics, and tweaking other details to ensure the improved combat feels just as satisfying as it did in the last updateif not better!

More on that soon!

Additional Updates
The script for the Steam release is well underwayits spicy, and were loving how its coming together so far!
Weve also commissioned new music tracks and other assets.
Expect even more "plot" (in every sense of the word) to arrive very soon.
Thats all for now. Thank you all so much for your ongoing supportyou keep the team motivated and energized to keep doing what we love most!

With love,
The Damned Studios Team

Mika cant wait to try one of the new Alderian jawbreakers! (Just remember: Dont bite off more than you can chew!)
