It's been a relaxing summer, but Essay Games is back to school and prepping for our next game.

We're also working on bringing Bundle of Joy to new audiences on mobile console platforms by doing viability tests and porting demos. We're hoping to partner with someone to bring the game to larger non-PC gamer audiences, but we first want to get more folks on Steam Deck to check out the game, since it was originally developed and designed with handheld devices in mind.

As part of this effort, we're launching our biggest discount as part of the Steam Autumn Sale, and we'd be delighted if you wanted to grab a copy and try it out on a Steam Deck!

As always, make sure to leave reviews and feedback in the community forum, and hope everyone is having a great start to Fall!

To the Resistance,

In less than 24 hours since the launch of our rebellion, you have drawn first blood. We can officially confirm that the first 100 contracts of the Appeasement Fund have been secured!

That's 10% of our objective, achieved on the very first day.

Our sources inside the FUFFF's ivory tower report a state of "surprise" and "mild panic." They expected a protest; you have given them a war. They underestimated your resolve, and now they are watching the numbers climb with fear in their eyes.

But this is the most dangerous moment.

We have proven we are a threat, and now they will be watching our every move. They are counting on us to celebrate and lose momentum. They believe this initial surge will fade. We have 6 DAYS LEFT to prove them wrong and secure the other 90%.

We cannot give them an inch. We must intensify the attack on all three fronts.

1. Keep Funding the War Chest: The $2.99 price is our greatest weapon. If you know someone waiting, tell them the rebellion is real and we need them now. Gifting a copy is the ultimate act of defiance.

2. Continue the PR Assault: The positive reviews are working! We're seeing the needle move, but we're not at "Mostly Positive" yet. If you haven't left a review, your voice is critical in this phase of the battle.

3. Feed the Creative War Machine: The "Choreography Mandate" thread is filling up with genius ideas. Keep them coming! Let's give them so much to "review" their heads spin.

You have achieved a stunning victory on day one. But the war is won by those who fight until the very end.

Don't let up. For the Fight!

The Team at Celebrity Kombat Corp.

Hello Wardens! ːkarrynː

Summer has past but the heat has never left the prison! With the v.1.3.1 update comes the end of a long journey that spanned half a decade! ːtonkinBulliedː

There are only two major changes, the first being that the title picture is now randomized and if you own all 3 DLCs, there is now a lovely new picture of Karryn drawn by the ever talented Sachinama! The second change or changes are all thanks to madtisa for providing with various fixes and optimizations to the game engine!! ːlovewaveː Though with any major changes especially of such scope comes a few bugs so please be patient as fixes are rolled out!

Development for Karryn's Prison is now mostly finished except for bug fixes such as these as we move on to new projects. One of those projects is preparation for the release of a physical copy of Karryn's Prison in Japan that includes all the DLCs in one package. Even though everything has move onto the more convenient formula of digital now, some old school gamers like us still find joy in having a physical version of our own game so it has always been a dream to hold a physical copy of Karryn's Prison as a physical proof of our labors. ːmqbatː

Unfortunately due to the issues of tariffs and such, a physical release will only be limited to Japan for now. I spoke with a major physical distributor of adult games and they said that tariffs are making it impossible for physical copies to be made so maybe one day in the future a physical release can be revisited again for global.

The second project to talk about today is that we are currently in early, early prototype development of the third Remtairy title after Meltys Quest and Karryn's Prison called Amelya Opus! It will be a different game from Karryn's Prison because we like to play around with new ideas. It is still in super early stages and probably won't be on Steam until years from now. Hopefully, it would still be possible to release it on Steam when the times comes. ːtonkinBulliedː

Finally, thank you all for your support over the years!!! Without the fans, we wouldn't be here! ːkarrynComfyː

Some sales stuff now:

All Remtairy titles including Karryn's Prison and all the DLCs are on sale until October 6th! Tell your friends to grab all the DLCs if they haven't yet to see that sweet, sweet new title CG!
