GaG is releasing on 2 February 2026!

1) Holiday Season Competition

Originally setfor \"Q4 2025\", we nudged release to avoid the fierce number of games coming out right now.Seeing how many gamesGaGwouldhave to compete in order to have a decent amount of publicity,I realisedreleasing around the end-of-year holiday season was a no-go.Let\'s not make a rookie indie game dev move and stumble at the last hurdle.

2) Translations on Launch

We want to have multiple languages available upon release, since so much of our audience is non-English speaking, and this will give translators time to try achieve that.

Grow a Girlfriendsurpassed its wishlist goal!

Thank you to everyone involved! We\'re at over 8000 wishlists now and this is a huge achievement for an indie game! It means we are more likely to have a spot on \"Popular and Upcoming\" the weekend before and day of our release, which is going to help our publicity so much.

I am a trained biologist and I love making graphs. If you\'re curious about our fanbase demographic too, have a look. If you wishlisted the game, your number is here!

To end off is a 30 second montage of my work behind the scenes for the last 2 years:

After spending the last 2 months working with @wSmileFlowerw, the Grow a Girlfriend website is live!

It has pictures, info, contact and a presskit, but the main reason I wanted it was for

Wishlists

We hit 5000 Wishlists on Steam today!

Thank you so much, everyone! Once we hit 7000, Grow a Girlfriend will release! That may be around November at this rate. You can look forward to more demo translations and fanart on my social media and the special content just in the newsletter in the meantime.

On the main menu, there is now a button that allows you to play the demo in a different language (Currently: French, Spanish, Russian and Lithuanian).

These translations were only possible because of the graciousness of thevolunteers! I enjoyed working with them to make the translations as good as they can be. Their names are mentioned in the new credits menu.

Report translation bugs!

It is impossible for meto playtest and proofread every translation fully. There is bound to be a typo, a strange sentence, or even a crash that has slipped my attention! If that happens, please email me . I amon hot-fix duty and will resolve any issues ASAP so that each game build is animprovement for the next player.

I am not native in these languages, so if anything seems odd, please be like Button below and make sure no bugs roam free!

Demo Translations now open

Several fans contacted me, asking if they could translate the game, so I\'ve made all the necessary files publicly available in case there is anyone else who would like to volunteer!

Whether you work alone or as a team, I appreciate all the time and effort it takes to translate a game, so if you finish it, your names will be added to the credits and your translation added to the game\'s main menu!

The instructions and the necessary files are stored on a GitHub repo linked here.

Good luck! If you have any questions, you can always email me at true.blue.eyes@icloud.com

Thank You!

Finally, I am honoured by the level of support I have received since the demo\'s official launch! Thank you to those who sent fanmail, commented, reviewed or donated. Hearing that this work has touched so many hearts, and that there are people out there who want to help, means so much to me.

Welcome to Grow a Girlfriend!

Greetings to all new players, and welcome back returning players from GaG's first release two years prior!

Thank you to everyone who has checked out, played and/or wishlisted the game. After working on it for so long, it is so gratifying to see the Steam page finally live. I hope its message and themes resonate with many players, and help those who find themselves with similar thoughts know that they're not as strange as they may think.

Feedback

I welcome comments, reviews, discussions, fanart etc.

Critique on the demo is very valuable. It will help me know what I need to work on in the next few months before the game's full release.

Oh, and let me know if it made you cry to make me feel extra happy.

Full Game Release Date

The game is scheduled to release in quarter 4 of 2025, so if you haven't already, kindly wishlist it! That's the best way to support its development right now.

How this game was made

To see how I made this game, consider joining my Patreon . Many posts are freely available, while other posts with early design sketches and secret preview builds not shown in the demo are only for paid members.

To contact me directly

Whether it's to report a bug or to make a general query, business or casual, anyone is welcome to get in touch with me at true.blue.eyes@icloud.com.
