Cockwork Industries Complete News

Hi everyone.

In this post I'd like to update you on our plans for the future.

There are currently three projects in our pipeline - Countess in Crimson DLC, an unannounced visual novel game and a small surprise project.

The Countess in Crimson DLC will expand on the story of the game introducing new storylines, three new romance options, new sex scenes for existing girls, new locations, etc. It will not continue the game's main plot, but rather add additional side stories parallel to the main one. Expect an official announcement with first preview later this month.

The unannounced visual novel game is our first game developed in Unity. Because of this, it's a smaller and less complex game by design and will serve as an entry point for us to streamline our Unity workflow for bigger projects. This doesn't mean, of course, it will be any less fun 🙂. The game will be officially announced quite soon, possibly this month as well.

The surprise project is, well... a surprise, so you'll have to wait and see what it is 😉.

Finally, let's talk about the elephant in the room, the game most of you forgot but some are still curious about - Forbidden Curiosities.

Development for Forbidden Curiosities is currently on hold. It's not cancelled, but we still haven't decided what exactly we want to do with it and we may eventually have to make a tough decision to abandon it.
The fact is, we announced it too early, before the game's core was prepared. Soon after, we decided we wouldn't be able to develop two games simultaneously and focused on developing Countess in Crimson. Once CiC was out, we made a decision to switch to Unity for future games and that also hindered FB's development, which we already started developing in Visionaire Studio.
We'll make a final decision on Forbidden Curiosities after we finish our current projects.

We’re proud to share with you a demo for our upcoming game, Countess in Crimson. To play, head over to its Steam store page and click the big green "Download Countess in Crimson Demo" button :-)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1455070/Countess_in_Crimson/

The demo contains first two chapters of the game, which should give you a good idea of how the gameplay feels like with the caveat that later chapters offer more in terms of free roaming and player agency (and of course, way more of the spicy content). If you enjoyed Cockwork Industries, you'll definitely like Countess in Crimson.

Have fun!

Hello everybody!

Our next game now has a live Steam store page. If you enjoyed Cockwork Industies, Countess in Crimson should be right down your alley as it expands and improves upon our erotic adventure game formula.

We'll be periodically releasing development updates, so if you wish to follow the game's development, we encourage you to drop by the store page from time to time. If you don't want to miss the game's launch, be sure to add it to your wishlist as well.
Speaking of which, we don't have a launch date set yet and are not ready to give any estimates, so please don't ask about it. We'll inform you about the release date as soon as we're 100% sure we can deliver without delays.

Till next time!

With this update we’re adding the remaining dialogue skins (Lady Punk for Kyoko and Handsome Devil for Diego) and implementing the Game Guide into the game.

Lady Punk dialogue skin for Kyoko can be picked up by clicking the boot item in the Lobby:



Handsome Devil dialogue skin for Diego can be picked up by clicking the trident item in the Machine Room:



Upon pickup, a bonus “tease” animation showcasing the skin will also play out.

Some players also requested the ability to view the post-sex and ending images without the interface visible and now we’re making them available. They can now be found in the “Extras” folder inside your game installation folder.

As indicated in the subtitle, this is a final content patch for Cockwork Industries and 4.17 is the true Complete version of the game. Of course we still might do some small bug fixes if necessary.
On that note, we're still looking for help in squashing the elusive "infinite loading" bug. We're had several players reporting the bug, but so far none have responded when we reached out to do some testing.

We’d like to thank you all for your support and making this game possible. Things we learned throughout the development of Cockwork Industries will help us bring you better, more engaging and feature-rich games in the future. We’re now focusing our full attention to finishing our recently announced games – Countess in Crimson and Forbidden Curiosities.


Till next time!

• Lady Punk Kyoko dialogue skin added.

• Handsome Devil Diego dialogue skin added.

• The Game Guide is now accessible from the main menu.

• Additional images that couldn’t be included in the Personnel Files gallery can now be viewed outside of the game by browsing the “Extras” folder.

The sixth dialogue skin we're adding is Badlands Belle for Elena, which can be picked up by clicking the scarf item in the Greenhouse:



Please note that the item may not show upon loading a saved game from some of the older versions of the game. Should this happen, you'll have to start a new game to see it.
