Hello, everyone!

First, before I delve into what's to come, thank you for the amazing milestone of 10k downloads! I've said it before, and I'll repeat it, despite sounding like a broken record, that I never expected the game to retain its popularity almost a year after its release. I anticipated it would shine for a while and then fall into obscurity, but it's been proven time and again that people still enjoy the game.

Thank you all again for the continued love and support of the game. I'm sorry it's taken so long to publish a meaningful update, but that's part of what I'm announcing! So, without further delay, let's talk about the upcoming update.

Release Date: March 5th

I intend for the newest update for the game to be completed sometime in early March, ideally by March 5th! I'll be on vacation for a while, starting in the middle of this month, and I intend to dedicate as much time as possible to finishing the things I've already started on and adding what new content I can.

Dina's Route Endings

Firstly, Dina's route endings should be finished and added to the game. In total, this should result in approximately 10 - 12 total endings. There should be one ending for every size and an additional ending for each size based on whether the player chooses to pursue more affectionate interactions with Rory. The definitive number will be stated when the update is released, so check the update notes when the day arrives!

An appropriate method to attain the hyper pregnancy endings without pursuing affection with Rory will be added to accommodate the players who want to achieve them without pursuing affection with Rory.

Dina's Pregnancy Progession

As mentioned in the previous update, Dina's progression through her pregnancy will be capped at her second stage, with the player only capable of increasing this size by choosing to have the appropriate dream (or a different method, if I happen to think of one). If you aren't sure what I mean, check out this blog post to get all the details!

New Images For Rory Interactions

For those who enjoy the interactions with Rory, new images (once again drawn by the wonderful Marrazan) will be added for the decision-based interactions. At the moment, only one decision-based interaction involving rubbing Dina's belly will be added, but we have plans to add more for the others! For now, here's a teaser.

There will be six new images in total! A few of them are simple, minor variations of one image, but Marrazan and I hope they appeal to everyone and help make the scene more enjoyable to watch and read.

Rory's New Outfit

Did you think Rory looked different in that teaser image? Well, there's a reason for that! Your favourite tomboy is getting a new casual outfit after the first day she starts staying with Dina. It was a little weird that she was always in her bikini, wasn't it? That shall be a problem no longer! Enjoy this image of her in her new outfit!

Rory's Route

Unfortunately, Rory's route still won't be available yet. While Marrazan was able to create the new outfit for her, we still want to prioritise adding as much content as we can to Dina's route before starting to work on Rory's.

Final Thoughts

I hope to add more to the game with the upcoming update, such as more drink requests, a recipe book to replace the current method of Dina repeating the drink ingredients to herself, longer days with more drink requests and customers featured throughout. Still, I don't know how much of that will be attainable. I'll try to add as much as possible to ensure there's as much new stuff for people to enjoy as I can manage! You don't realise how difficult it is to add things to a game in a timely fashion until you're the one making it. It's quite the wake-up call.

Before we close out, I wanted to ask the people who read this: would you like to see a Discord server created for the game? I've contemplated the idea but always resisted it because I didn't believe the game would ever garner enough attention to justify it. After seeing the continued inquiries about when updates would happen, I'm beginning to second-guess myself!

At any rate, thank you for reading and for your continued support of Bumps & Brews! I hope you all look forward to the update when it comes out!
