Prince of Suburbia - Part 1 News

The update has been made to both Part 1 and Part 2 of Prince of Suburbia. Thank you to all of you that entered our Global Steam Key Giveaway! Winners will be contacted by DM on Steam today.

V1.0 is a game-breaking update. We made major changes to the code with this update, including brand new GUI and upgrading to Ren'Py 8+. If your saves are broken, clicking Start in the main menu will give you a few options for different jump in points so you don't have to start from the beginning.

Using old saves, even if they open without error, may cause errors later on. Please consider starting a new game or use one of the jump in points in the title menu rather than opening old saves.

If you have any other trouble accessing the game or encounter any bugs or issues, please let us know!

The final update (V1.0) of Prince of Suburbia includes:

[h3]THANK YOU to everyone who helped with this update:[/h3]

• m. of Tsundere Studio for the brand spanking new GUI
  
• auxiliaryout, for all the art and animations
  
• HaruLuna, for the amazing voice acting

V1.0 completes Part 2 and the main story of Prince of Suburbia. We want to make sure there are no major bugs or issues in the game (especially in the translated/localized versions) before we leave Early Access on Steam, but that is our next goal. The plan is to work on that in early 2024.

After Prince of Suburbia has left Early Access on Steam in early 2024, we will begin development on the additional Pregnancy DLC content. Stay tuned for more on that next year!

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.

We're thrilled to announce that the Prince of Suburbia V1.0 update is almost here, with the base (English-only) version scheduled to be completed this month! The much-anticipated Steam release will follow about a month later, in November, when the translated and localized versions are complete.

V1.0 is a significant update, featuring the most extensive free roam content we've ever included in the game. We hope that this update will be a satisfying ending to the Prince of Suburbia story!

V1.0 features animated scenes for all main love interests. We're also revisiting characters who haven't been in the spotlight for a while, such as Naomi, Heather, and Lina (both versions have different art this update), each with their own animated scenes.

In addition to all the exciting new content, we've also remastered earlier parts of the game during this update cycle. This includes remastered animated lewd scenes with Sarah, Heather, and Naomi, as well as some remastered story illustrations.




We are delighted to announce that the talented HaruLuna has provided voice acting for all of the scenes from earlier in the game that didn't already have voice acting. This update includes nearly 150 voice acting files, including the voice acting for the new content.


One of the most notable changes in V1.0 is a complete overhaul of the game's GUI (Graphical User Interface). The entire interface has been redesigned, giving Prince of Suburbia a fresh and modern look. You can learn more about the redesign and see a preview video of the changes in this public Patreon post.





We are thankful for the incredible work of m. from Tsundere Studio for their GUI expertise. Be sure to check out their game, I Just Want to be Single!!, available for wishlist on Steam!

We want to thank our community for their valuable input regarding the Pregnancy DLC that we will be working on more extensively once Prince of Suburbia V1.0 is released. We're currently running polls for $5+ supporters on Patreon and SubscribeStar, so be sure to check them out if you haven't already.




In the spirit of the spooky season, we've also prepared some special wallpapers featuring Catherine and Sarah. $3+ supporters can grab these wallpapers on our Patreon and SubscribeStar pages.

As always, we appreciate your continued support and patience as we approach the end of our Prince of Suburbia journey!

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.

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).

• Catherine
  
• Sarah
  
• Sonia
  
• Fiona
  
• Naomi
  
• Heather
  
• Samantha
  
• Lina - Egyptian version
  
• Lina - Black version
