Jock Studio Development Update #20

[p][/p][p]Happy Holidays, Olympians! We have one last end-of-year treat for everyone this Holiday season – a final Jock Studio Development Update to wrap up the year! Please read the full post for full details, as it contains information for all fans of Jock Studio![/p]
Release Date Update
[p]First up, as we close out the year, we know that everyone wants to know more information about Jock Studio’s release date, and when to expect the full game:[/p][p]We expect Jock Studio to be released in 2027.[/p][p]We have determined this timeframe after considering the amount of work left to perform, including writing, artwork, programming and all additional departments. Additionally, we also believe that releasing the game in 2027 will give us plenty of time to thoroughly test all mechanics and features of the game, releasing it in as polished a state as possible![/p][p]We plan to spend 2026 working just as hard on Jock Studio as we have in 2025, and we promise that we are doing everything we can to deliver the project both as quickly as possible while also ensuring it is as polished and well-made as it can be. Additionally, as we always have, we’ll continue to be transparent throughout the process with monthly development updates, as well as release date updates and timelines as soon as we can provide them![/p][p]Note – Please expect that future inquires about Jock Studio’s release date will be provided with the information above, unless circumstances have changed and new information is able to be provided in future updates.[/p][p]Thank you for your understanding and support, and we want to re-emphasize that the BLits Team is working as hard as we can on Jock Studio, and all of us are committed to completing the game and making it as best as we possibly can![/p][p]And speaking of working hard, let’s check out what the team’s been up to over the past month, as well as a yearly wrap-up of what we’ve accomplished this year![/p]
Development Diary #20 – New Backgrounds, Puppet Animations, Sprite Costumes & Date Portraits!
[p][/p][p]For our 20th Development Diary, we’ll be showcasing updates from many of our departments – and there’s a lot to show off this time, so please check it all out below![/p][h2]Part 1 – New 3D Background Renders & Crowdart![/h2][p]To kick things off, we’ve got a couple of new 3D Renders, prepared by Micman, ready to show off from around the Campus! Check them out below:[/p][p][/p][p]All three of these new locations are travelable around the Olympus University Campus, and the University Café and Restaurant are the perfects spots to pick up a bite to eat, a snack for the road, or maybe even meet up with a friend![/p][p]Meanwhile, Matt’s Room is in the dorms just like Ace, and you can visit him to see what he’s up to – and maybe nag him the same way he teases Ace![/p][p]3D Renders aren’t the only Background department updates, though! Fuschia has been hard at work on the Crowd Art of the various backgrounds around Campus, bringing them to life with a groups of students and faculty! Check out some of his work below:[/p][p][/p][p]As expected, the Dionysus House sure knows how to party, and their ragers are always a blast full of people! Although we don’t envy anyone who has to clean up that mess…[/p][p]Meanwhile, for a more relaxing (and steamy) time, both the Showers and Thermae are usually full of near-naked guys too. Eye candy for Ace (and you)![/p][h2]Part 2 – New Puppet Animations![/h2][p]Next, our Animation department has moved onto some sexy and exciting new puppet work – oral series of animations! Checkout the first of this series, made by Zemyx:[/p][p][/p][p]https://www.blitsgames.com/jock-studio-development-update-20[/p][p]Ace is one lucky guy, getting to taste each one of the Jocks… although who do you think tastes the best? Ace isn’t the only one who gets to have fun, though, as you can mix and match whatever pairs you like for any of the animations, including these oral series – check it out:[/p][p][/p][p]https://www.blitsgames.com/jock-studio-development-update-20[/p][p]That’s a lot of flip-flopping action! With this level of customization, no Filming Minigame will be the same, and you’re guaranteed to see whichever Jock you like in any role you prefer, just like seen above![/p][p]This isn’t the only Oral Puppet Animation either – there are two more series we’ll be previewing in future updates, being worked on by Monacodingo, so stay tuned![/p][h2]Part 3 – New Sprite & Puppet Costumes![/h2][p]Next, we have some updates from the Art Department as well, featuring new Sprite Previews for our Jocks and Ace! First, we previewed the concept of the Festival Attire for the Jocks back in our August Development update, but we are happy to report they have been fully rendered by Magia, AlexW and Mikkoukun! Check them out below:[/p][p][/p][p]The boys are looking both divine AND sexy! These thematic costumes will be used for the Festival Arc stretch goal, and will be featured in a Sex Scene for each of the Jocks, as well as used in the story![/p][p]Festival Attires aren’t the only new costumes, though – checkout another brand-new outfit for each of the Jocks and Ace, by Zael, AlexW and Mikkoukun![/p][p][/p][p]Whether you’re in the lockers or the thermae, when you’re not butt naked, you might be sporting a towel, and each of the Jocks has their own unique way of wearing this accessory piece! Designed by Zael and executed by AlexW and Mikkoukun, these sexy outfits will be used in both the above locations, and for the minigames! Speaking of…[/p][p][/p][p]The Towel outfits are an unlockable feature of the Jock Studio App, as hinted at in the Programming Preview during last month’s development update! If these near-naked outfits are your style, you can choose them for both the Photoshoot and Filming Minigame once the outfits have been unlocked![/p][h2]Part 4 – Date Portraits Brought to Life![/h2][p]Finally, to round out our previews, we have a very exciting bit of progress to show – way back in our May Development Update, we previewed the first of our brand-new Date Portraits with Yuuto Nakajima, which will be used in the Dining Minigame part of Jock Studio![/p][p]We’re excited to say that as of now, all Date Portraits have been drawn and animated for each of the Jocks, and we can finally show them off to everyone! Checkout the full preview below:[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]The boys are looking handsome, aren’t they? Just imagining sitting across from them and sparking up a conversation is enough to make anyone’s heart flutter – and in the full game of Jock Studio, you’ll get to do just that! With multiple costumes, poses, and expressions drawn by Zael, Magia and AlexW and animated by JustSyl, these exciting portraits are features you can look forward to in the full game![/p]
End of Year Summary
[p]That’s all for this Development Diary, but we have one more bit of information to share with everyone – as mentioned at the start, we’d like to give a short summary of what all we’ve accomplished this year, and what’s to come in 2026. Check it out below:[/p][p][/p][p]As you can see above, we’ve accomplished a ton with Jock Studio over the past year, and we’ll summarize it once again below in text for a little bit more detail, per each department:[/p][p]·         Background Department: Completed all Olympus University Backgrounds, and have begun working on Olympus City Backgrounds.[/p][p]·         Puppet Animations: Completed all foreplay animations, and are working on oral animations.

Jock Studio Demo 2.1 - Available Now!



Olympians, it’s an exciting day – Jock Studio Demo 2.1 is now available for download! Our team has worked very hard to provide this optimized version of Jock Studio Demo 2, and we hope that the experience is much smoother and manageable for everyone who plays! Check out everything that’s changed at the patch notes below, as well as read the full post for the highlights!

https://www.blitsgames.com/bugreport/

Jock Studio Demo 2.1 – What’s Changed?




Jock Studio Demo 2.1 is the optimized version of Jock Studio Demo 2.0, which was released in a Beta Version last December 2024. Since then, our programming team has been hard at work resolving the bugs and issues encountered in that Beta Version, as well as performing several upgrades and overhauls to the full game itself.

While there isn’t any new content in version 2.1, several new features are available for the first time – check them out below!

[h2]Demo 1 & 2 – Together at Last! [/h2]



Like we previewed earlier this year, Jock Studio Demo 2.1 merges both Demo 1 and Demo 2.0 into one playable demo, making it much easier to play both versions without needing two separate downloads! When you click ‘New Game’ from the main menu, you will be presented with an option to choose either Demo 1.0 or Demo 2.0, and can play either right from the start!



As a reminder for everyone, Demo 1 features the introduction of the game’s cast and premise in a Visual Novel / Story format, while Demo 2 features most of the core mechanics and gameplay loop of Jock Studio in a Dating Simulator format. We highly recommend playing Demo 1 prior to playing Demo 2 if it’s your first time!

PS – Please note your progress does not carry over between Demos. Both Demos function independently from one another.

Not only that, but Demo 1.0’s images have been added to the Gallery App, so you can view all images after you’ve encountered them in game again, including with animation!

[h2]New Sex Scene Animations[/h2]

Speaking of animations, like we previewed earlier this year, all six of the Filming Club Sex Scenes have now been fully animated, and can be experienced in both the game’s story and the Gallery App! Enjoy these spicy new animations, giving the scenes a whole new level of life!



[h2]Music App Now Available![/h2]

Another feature enabled in Demo 2.1 is the Music App – a chill spot where you can listen to the game’s various different soundtracks with ease, organizing them by favorites, looping them and more, just like in traditional music apps! Enjoy jamming out to some tunes when you’re not out exploring the campus, Olympians!

PS – Until the game’s official release, the music app will be the only way to listen to Jock Studio’s soundtrack. Jock Studio’s OST will be available on Streaming Platforms after the game’s full release.



[h2]Tutorial Hub Overhaul[/h2]

Finally, we received a great deal of feedback regarding the in-game tutorials, and have done a complete overhaul of the Tutorial System! The game’s tutorials should be much easier to read and understand, and not only that, but you can also check a newly added ‘skip tutorials’ button inside of the game’s settings, allowing you to bypass all tutorials on subsequent playthroughs!



Demo 2.1 Download Links


That’s all for Demo 2.1, but we hope everyone enjoys this newly updated and optimized version! Demo 2.1 is available now for free for PC and Mac, and can be downloaded on our website, Itch.io, or Steam! Click the link below for your copy:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2115310/Jock_Studio/

If you enjoy Demo 2.1 and want to support Jock Studio’s development, please consider pre-ordering your copy of the game at the links below – any pre-orders will receive their copy of the full game on release automatically via our various different distributions. Thank you for your support!

PS – Please note that Demo 2.1 is not currently available for Android devices. Our team is still assessing the viability of an android build of Jock Studio, and will inform everyone if it becomes available. Thank you for understanding.

Closing Word


Thank you for your patience with us while we worked on this exciting update for Jock Studio! Our programmers have done a ton of work to get this version out to you all, and we hope that all the work put in will also translate over to the full game as well!

That’s all for now, but we’ll be back with a Development Diary at the end of May 2025, so please stay tuned for more exciting development news then!

Thank you again for your support, Olympians!

Lots of love,
~BLits Games
