Hey everybody! It's been a little bit since Update 18 came out now and I wanted to let you all know how the next Update is coming along. Update 19 is a different beast than anything that I've made so far. If you've seen the end of Update 18, you probably have some idea of where things are going in Update 19. It's very different than anything that has happened so far in the game. Most updates, I'm just adding more story and more content - dates, sex, major scenes, that's about it. This update, I'm having to write a lot more code and develop a lot of things from the ground up, because it's so different. All that to say, this update is going to take a while. It's going to take longer than any of the previous updates have taken. But it's very big, it's very complex, and I think you're going to like it.

So what's in Update 19?

I don't want to spoil too much about Update 19. Unlike previous updates, I haven't really been releasing preview images or teasing content. Because of the nature of the update, I want to keep as much under wraps as possible. I will reveal this though: - The conclusion of the "Where is Dad?" storyline. - Sex scenes with many different new characters. - A very different style of gameplay.

When is Update 19 Releasing?

Right now, I am about 25% of the way through completing the update. I can't give an official release date, but I think it's going to be somewhere around May 2025. This is *not* an official release date though, and it could end up taking longer than I expect. I realize that is still a long ways away. I'm sorry I can't do it quicker. I'm working as hard as I can, it is just a very big, complicated update.

Is this the end of the game?

No, Update 19 is not the end. Update 19 is a *big* part of ending the story of the game, but there will be one more major update afterwards. Update 20 I do not think will take me near as long as Update 19 will. It will be the conclusion of the game and wrap up all the stories for the different characters. It's going to have somewhere around 17 endings, but not much content outside of those endings. And finally, I do plan on doing another update after Update 20. I'm not going to call it the *final* update, because who knows if I'll wake up and feel like adding more content to Come Home that day? But the intention of this update is to sort of smooth out all the unpolished areas that I can easily smooth out and to add in options that make all the characters a little more even - make sure all the characters have around the same amount of dates/sex/conversation content. A lot of this update will likely be Premium-only content. So, right now the plan is Update 19 in May 2025, Update 20 probably Fall 2025, then polish the game out into it's final completed version towards the end of 2025/beginning of 2026.
