Episode 4.0 current progress and previews

Hey everyone!

First, a few words about the recent feedback I got from you. Besides the recurring comments like:

- we waited too long for such a short update,
- not enough sex scenes,

...the overall feedback of the last update was mostly positive, which makes me really happy. Of course, there are always things that need improvement, and we'll keep fixing them as we go.

To answer a few other questions: this will be a bit bigger update than usual, definitely more comprehensive, and it will address some of the questions you've had. As we originally planned, we aim to release the full game in the first half of 2026, and that hasn't changed. We'll probably wrap up Riley's story by episode 7 or 8, depending on how many extra scenes and content we decide to add.



Time for an update on our progress two weeks after the last release. I’m happy to say things are going really well. Thanks to taking unpaid leave, I can fully focus on the project, and because of that, we’re moving faster and more efficiently.



As you can see, we’ve nearly finished writing the scripts for the latest episode. I think we’ll have that part wrapped up in the next 7 days. We've also completed 30% of the required renders and animations, which is a number I’m pretty happy with for just two weeks of work.

As for coding and testing, we’ve fixed all the reported bugs in Episode 3.2, so everything should run smoothly now.

As you can see, everything is going according to plan. We're still confident that we’ll be able to release the next episode before the Xmass. It’s going to be one of the bigger ones, but not too long - it will contain plenty of branching paths and answers to some of your burning questions. I won’t spoil anything else—you’ll have to wait until December!

As always, I’m leaving you with a few renders, and I wish you all a great week!





Bright Lord finally has a release date on Steam!

Hey everyone!

Now, I'd like to talk about something important to us—the second project we've been working on alongside Steps of Debauchery. First, let me assure you that Riley and Steps of Debauchery are still our main focus, and no other project will affect the development speed of the game. If we've chosen to support or join another project, it's only because we've been able to hire more people or work on it in parallel.

As some of you already know, the project I'm talking about is the game Bright Lord, developed by KissKiss Studio. It’s had its ups and downs, so we decided to help bring it to completion, ensuring it doesn’t get abandoned like so many other adult visual novels. Our support included proofreading the entire script, improving and compressing the game’s code, creating a completely new UX/UI, and translating the game into 7 languages. The story and graphics are still being handled by KissKiss Studio, so this hasn’t affected our work on Steps of Debauchery.

You’ll be able to see the results of our work soon, as Bright Lord will be released on Steam on November 8th, with all the new features we've added. I encourage you to add it to your wishlist now!

I decided to support this project because I liked the game and its story, and I’m confident you’ll enjoy it too. This version will include about 75% of the full game, and the final release is planned for 2025. We’re aiming to add six more chapters before the game’s conclusion. Here are a few renders from the game, and we’ll see you in less than a month!





























Minor bugfix update

* Fixed achievement not unlocking on steam.
* Fixed a crash when playing in Portuguese language.
* Some people were not able to unlock new scenes on loading previous game saves. That has been fixed. One of the drawback of that fix is that player can't rollback immediately after loading a save file made in previous version of the game. Aside from that, rollbacks works in all situation as expected.

As always, I want to thank you all for your support. I hope I've expressed my gratitude through the latest update. Have fun and don't forget to share your feedback!

I would like to encourage you to leave feedback, whether you liked the game or not, we are curious what you think of it so that we can improve it in the future

Episode 3.2 - Change Log





Episode 3.2 - Change Log

Hey everyone!

Is it time for the latest update's change log? Yes, it is! Let me share a little secret about what you can expect in this new update.



You'll be getting 7 new scenes—6 of them will be story-related, while one is an extra scene connected to gym activities and our favorite trainer. There’s also a new achievement tied to that!

As for the main story scenes, Riley might finally have some time to visit Ivy outside of work hours. Meanwhile, Riley will learn more about her new role as Dean assistant (if you chose that path), and Madison will want to thank you for helping with the party (unless you didn’t help her). You’ll also meet with your neighbors, Elijah and Richard, and Riley will try to hide something from Mike. Will you reveal the truth to him this time, or keep it to yourself? The choice is yours!

We’ve also fixed earlier bugs, including the issue with duplicate outfits in the backpack and missing sounds in the animations from update 3.1. There are a bunch of smaller fixes too, but I won’t bore you with all the details.

That’s all for now, the new update will be out on October 7th,

In the meantime, take care and may Riley be with you!
