Our first update post release is now available to download! While the change log will list current and visible updates, there are many behind the scene changes to enhance playability of the game, which we hope to release in the next regular update. Join our Discord server to learn more about what is coming in the next few weeks!
Update 1.0.1.2
Ottava has evolved. ?
Added Video Settings. Defaults to Ultra, lower them if you require a boost in FPS.
--- Shade Quality. Controls the material complexity cost.
--- Detail Level. Controls amount of props and particles on screen.
--- Post Processing effect. Controls complexity of Post Process effects.
Added Game Settings.
--- Note Bend Sensitivity. A slider from 0.5 to 1.5. Higher values require less physical distance to move notes far away. DEV NOTE. We might adjust the range of this setting in the future.
--- Use Advance Gameplay UI. Option to show by default the advanced gameplay UI when you start playing a song.
Updated Animation logic, Animations, and Materials for HexagonScreen.
Updated Animation logic and Animations of Ottava.
Reduced shader cost of some UI elements.
Gun laser now draws on top of player on LIV viewports.
Reduced gun laser sight material cost.
Some of the changes we are working on are improving Perfect Hits, so they are easier to understand and obtain. Adjust the note bend system, to allow for bends to move independently, for example, currently, 2 simultaneous bends must be bent the same way. And to add a simplified instrument option, which keeps the musical range instrument on tune and making sound only when supposed to, but it removes player's freedom.
We are also working on more music of course!
Thank you, and we hope you are having a blast with the game!
BoneTown: The Second Coming Edition - D-Dub Software
We've been working around the clock on the content we know you've all been waiting for: the BoneTown Fetish DLC! And we realized this would be a great opportunity to get the community involved.
In the new Fetish DLC, there will be tons of new sex stores around BoneTown where you go to unlock the new fetish sex positions -- and each store is going to need a fitting name. What does that mean? Well, if you want to experience the gangbang content of the Fetish DLC, does a store named PoundLand say that to you? Or if you want to experience some BDSM / S&M, how about a store named The Whipper Snapper?
So our question to you is: can you help us come up with the best/funniest/most fitting names for each type of sex store listed below?
- Futa
- Big Beautiful Women
- BDSM / S&M
- Gay
- Lesbian
- Gangbang (lots of guys, one girl)
- Orgy (lots of girls and guys)
- Body Part Sex (Foot and Titties)
- Creampie
Just give us your store name ideas in the comments of this post, and we’ll keep a close eye on it. If you come up with a great one, there’s a good chance you could see it in the upcoming Fetish DLC.* Thank you to the greatest community out there.
*By giving name suggestions below, you agree that the suggestion you give may be used in BoneTown, and that you are not expecting any compensation (besides the bragging rights of being part of the world's coolest porno game!).

Hey there Keepers, the new Branching Out update is finally LIVE!
Thanks so much for your patience, this patch contains major fixes, quality of life improvements and new mechanics and buildings for you to try out!
New Mechanics
Platforms
With their own unique buildings, the Platform special project allows you to finally connect to those distant tiles! Give them a try, and let me know what you think, and also what kind of buildings I should add to them in future updates.
Resource Networks
But what's the use of those far-flung tiles if you can't use their resources? New buildings such as Storehouses, Tram Stations and Markets will share resources between them, letting you break the rules and move resources across any distance!
Quality of Life Changes & Fixes
Saving & Loading
Should work now. Thanks for your patience while I dug through this one, and please let me know if any issues crop up!
Atmosphere Progress UI & Mechanics Change
The island's atmosphere now increases or decreases faster or slower based on your surplus/deficit of O2, and now adds or removes an entire ring at a time instead of going tile-by-tile. Additionally the UI element now shows a progress bar to let you know how close you are to an increase or a decrease!
Restart Island Button
By far the most requested community feature, now you can restart your current island without affecting your overall progress!
New Dev Diary
Check out me talking about some of the design considerations that went into this update, and the key issues with Firekeep that I'm hoping to solve:
Additional Patchnotes
- Overhauled building effects that require resource inputs, will now only lock the inputs once the effect has "used" them. (e.g. Gardens will be able to refund Compost inputs until the extra Food production is actually sent to a different building, and will be able to refund again if that extra Food production is itself refunded).
- Overhauled the building UI panel to differentiate between resources locked from upgrading the building and resources locked by building effects. Created new icons to correspond to different effects.
- Building UI Panel - moved building atmosphere effects beside the building title, hopefully make the building description icons less crowded.
- Villager chain no longer produces Disease, changed to Sewage.
- Rebalanced "Meeting Place" building, no longer provides Amenities but upgrade chain is more useful, including:
Latrines and a "Sanitation" track that removes Pollution.
Inns, which can spread Firelight to neighbouring without relying on the central tile (but don't contribute towards completing the current island)
Shrines- upgrades to powerful community-centered buildings like Chapel and School, plus Parks, which give Amenities and access to the "Saplings" special project.
Markets, which transport Food between them across any distance.
If you've made it this far, hope you enjoy the new patch, and feel free to get involved in development by joining the Discord!
