It's been a hot minute since we talked about our future plans for Prince of Suburbia with all of you, hasn't it? We appreciate your patience in waiting to hear about what's next.

Let's start off with the unfortunate news first. For those that don't already know, we parted ways with auxiliaryout (the most recent artist and animator for Prince of Suburbia) a few months after the release of V1.0 (the end of the main story). He is a talented artist and animator and we wish him the best of luck with his future endeavors!

So, that brings us to the next order of business. We are looking for a new illustrator and animator to help us continue the Prince of Suburbia story with a Pregnancy DLC!

We've spent a lot of time reflecting in the past year about what players want and expect when they play Prince of Suburbia, and how to deliver the best experience possible. With that in mind, our two priorities when it comes to the future art for Prince of Suburbia are:

• An illustrator who specializes in MILFy type characters (aka BIG BOOBAS), big belly pregnancy, and adult breastfeeding/milky breasts content.
  
• An animator who specializes in Spine. The main game was animated using Live2D, and we feel like we pushed it to its absolute limits in terms of quality. Our understanding is that Spine has a higher ceiling in terms of quality and we want to explore that potential.

Do you have any illustrators or animators you'd like to suggest we reach out to? Let us know!

We have also obviously been compiling our own list of artists we want to approach. Once we have a shortlist of artists we want to audition, we'll commission a few illustrations/animations from them and seek input from our community before moving forward.

This is your chance to help shape the future Prince of Suburbia Pregnancy DLC! We look forward to sharing more news with you as things develop, stay tuned!

Last year we commissioned artwork for Steam community items (badges, etc) for Prince of Suburbia only to learn that Steam does not approve community items for Free-to-Play games without in-game purchases!

Since we already had them already made and ready to go, we figured we would release them to fans on all our platforms. We hope you enjoy!

We also want to share some special Valentine's Day cards that were made for our Patrons and Subscribers last year. Enjoy!

We are also excited to announce that ViM Studios and Critical Bliss have partnered together to bring you the Big BOOBA Bundle on Steam!

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/bundle/37555/Big_BOOBA/

Both games are currently discounted for the Steam Winter Sale until January 4, 2024. Now is your chance to buy them together at their lowest price ever! (If you already own one of the games, you can also "complete the set" to get the discount on the second.)

We are excited to announce that A Shot in the Dark - Chapter 3 and the Walkthrough & Guide DLC are now available for purchase on Steam!

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/1853830/A_Shot_in_the_Dark/

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/2707830/A_Shot_in_the_Dark__Walkthrough__Guide/

Receive an additional 10% discount when you purchase Prince of Suburbia - Part 2 and A Shot in the Dark as a bundle! Players who already own one of the games can "complete the set" and receive the discount when purchasing the other game.

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/bundle/37375/ViM_Studios_Games/

Currently only the English version of the game is available for purchase. Translations to the following languages are in progress: Chinese (Simplified), French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. We plan to release the translated version to Steam as soon as we feel they are ready.

You can find more information in this post. Volunteers who help translate the game can request a Steam key. We have additional incentives for volunteers who make significant contributions to the translations.

We hope you enjoy playing A Shot in the Dark as much as we've enjoyed making it. :)

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[discord.com]!

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.[www.patreon.com]

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!

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/1703610/I_Just_Want_to_be_Single/

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[www.patreon.com] and SubscribeStar[subscribestar.adult], 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[www.patreon.com] and SubscribeStar[subscribestar.adult] 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[www.patreon.com] and Subscribers[subscribestar.adult] 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
