hot fix for some localizations and UI improvements.

Hello gamers!

Things have been a little quiet here as of recent!

I just wanted to put out something real quick to say that a second demo is being worked on for Project: Shiba!

It will reflect the current vision for the game quite a bit more than the current prototype which exists on Steam.

You can still play the old prototype, of course, just know that it doesn't exactly line up with the current direction I'm taking the game. It's essentially non-canon.

Please forgive me, as 2025 has not been a kind year for me. Between increased production on this game and my other large-scale project, Jack Fourever After, as well as having to drop out of college due to my own declining mental health, as well as a brief visit to a mental hospital, to recent harassment on social media, and financial issues... It's been a rough year for me.

Just know that I haven't lost the vision for Project: Shiba, and that I am dedicated to releasing this game in the future one way or another. This story means the world to me.

Thank you!

Good news for those who were waiting to play on Linux or Steam Deck —
the native Linux + SteamOS version of Luce Spenta is now live.

It’s not yet fully tested on every distribution, but I wanted to make it available early for everyone who had it wishlisted and asked for Linux support.
Now you can play without any extra setup or configuration.

If you encounter any issues or unexpected behavior, feel free to reach out through any contact channel (Steam, Discord, or the game’s email).
I’m monitoring everything closely and will fix any problem right away.

Thank you so much for the continued support — and for helping this project grow across new platforms. 🖤

Hey passengers!

We’re two indie developers who have been pouring our hearts into our very first game for several months. Today, we’re thrilled to finally share the long-awaited demo of The Next Stop as part of the Steam Scream Fest 2025.

Step aboard a train full of secrets and choices that could change everything. Every passenger has a story, and every decision can alter the journey… do you have what it takes to uncover the truth?

We can’t wait for you to try it and see the world we’ve created. If you enjoy the demo, please leave a review and add the game to your wishlist to stay updated with the full release.

Join us on this journey, uncover the mysteries, and experience the ride for yourself!

A lot of players have expressed frustration over the difficulty of extended stay, most of this frustration seems to come from the RNG elements in ES as well as a difficulty spike early in the game. Over the last two weeks I've been re-working several mechanics to make the game more readable, even out the difficulty and minimize the RNG. These changes include, a higher level starting character, reduced satisfaction caps for guests, and longer stay times for guests. Thanks to everyone who has been reporting bugs, this is invaluable to the development of ES. Below is the full change log.

Changes

• The option to remove underwear in the character creator

• Difficulty scaling is now based on how many days have passed

• Max required satisfaction lowered

• Starting character begins at level 10 & has 2 max uses

• Guests Desires are highlighted when they match by Employee's traits

• Guests are now added to the hire menu after entering a scene with them

• An Updated demo version is now available on steam

• Steam cloud saves are now supported

• Lighting & graphical optimizations

Bug Fixes

• Changing accessories no longer hides clothing

• Reset button now disappears after being clicked

• Fixed penis being "mangled" after climax animation (IYKYK)

• Fixed a few clipping issues

• Jeans no longer spawn on races that don't fit them

• Fixed missing cancel button when deleting a save

• Localized several text boxes missed in the 1.4 update

• Fixed incorrectly assigned orgasm animations

• Fixed canine & sharks being given the wrong penis mesh in clothing menu

• Enter scene button now updated after Guest levels without playing scene

• Guests icons now being updated after being fully satisfied

• Visual quality now properly set through the setting menu

Prepare yourself for a nightmare in the Backrooms! For a limited time you can face horrifying Halloween challenges: jack-o'-lanterns now haunt the halls, entities are restless, and new surprises await your discovery.

Will you team up and escape these terrifying, festive experiences - or become a victim of the eternal Halloween night?

Remember to play while you can - special rewards and exciting surprises are waiting until November 3!

Updated the unity version to address recent unity security vulnerability stuff. Don't worry this was not specific to this game and was never exploited. (in fact you have likely seen similar updates in many other steam games over the last month.)

• Updated Unity Version

• Updated several unity packages

• Replaced main menu 'The Mountain' DLC ad with Explosive Odds ad

First of all, thank you all for the support and feedbacks that everyone is giving in the forum and in the reviews. It's being so amazing to see you guys commenting there and we are so happy with the reception.

With that being said, I promissed that we would say something about the launch date yesterday, however we had to delay the news one day (sorry about this cdizon26 ːsteamsadː).

Sooo, about the news: We wanted to release the full game in november, however with all the feedback and the work we have to do to deliver a good experience to everyone that is expecting it, we decided to release the game in... MID JANUARY!!

We have a date in mind, but this is going to be revelead in another day, so keep your eyes open. 👀
We are really excited to show you all we have to offer with this game and set our next goals after it.

Now, to our patch notes:

• Pause menu added

• Options menu added (with only the fullscreen setting at the moment)

• Player shoot cooldown increased

• Barbara of the Pleasure's health decreased and cooldown between pillars increased

• Some small enemy positioning adjustments

And with that, we just wanted to say that our demo will be part of the Steam Scream Festival, so happy halloween 👻.

Thank you all for everything and have a good night!!
