Apologies for the day-late announcement, but we stayed up all night prepping for launch, and then hanging around the Steam forums until early morning in case some critical bug needed patching. Luckily for us -- and most of you! -- only a few people ran into some minor issues, which we'll be looking to patch soon with the next update... as soon as we catch up on some sleep, heh.

If you've not already, consider grabbing the game while it's still hot off the presses! 👇👇👇

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2353220/Tales_of_Legendary_Lust_Aphrodisia/Or if you really want to splurge on some lewds & art, we also have a discounted bundle available:

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/59320/Tales_of_Legendary_Lust_Aphrodisia__Collectors_Edition/We'll talk about roadmap and future plans in a sec, but before we get to that...

We just wanna say that we'd like to thank all of you for your support! Everyone who sent us feedback, who wishlisted the game, who purchased it, who left a review, who played the demo during Next Fest and sent us bug reports, and who supported us either on Itch or Patreon - thank you! We can only be developers if we have players to actually play our games, and all of you are what makes that possible!

So thank you for supporting us, and for believing in our vision and this project!❤️❤️❤️

First we need to gather feedback and see what needs patching.

Then we'll take a day or two off to catch up on sleep and recharge...

We'll try and roll out a post-launch patch by the end of this week, here on Steam.

Once that's done, we're pivoting to getting achievements finished and implemented. Many of you expressed a desire for them, and we'll do our best to deliver. Afterwards we'd like to roll out another 2-3 small patches for the game... there's some SFW content we had to cut from the final release because it wasn't tested properly, and we didn't want y'all to run into bugs playing. We'll probably add a couple more NPCs to the Southern Wildlands to flesh out the area a bit more, and wrap up their stories.

You can read everything about it in the previous devlog here, or check out the Steam page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4000920/Tales_of_Legendary_Lust_Aphrodisia__Through_Stone__Steel/As always, wishlists are the lifeblood of Steam projects, so please hit that WL button above.👆👆👆

We'll like to get the first major expansion get done by Q2 2026 if possible. We already have a portion of the maps and lewds and assets finished, but it's all disconnected and still needs work. Combat as well needs implementing (it's mostly in the design phase), and inventory management on top of that.

We'll keep y'all updated with regular blogs and announcements here as we make progress!

In the meantime, don't hesitate to drop us a line here on the Steam forums, whether that's to post feedback, inquire about the game, or just chat a bit. You can also reach us on Bluesky for DMs.

One small favor we'd like to ask is that you consider leaving a review if you've purchased the game, it massively helps with surfacing on the platform, and the Steam algo won't throttle visibility once a game gets to 10 reviews. So consider dropping one if you can, it can be very short!

Anyway, that's it for now - we'll be back once we have the next patch & update ready!

Thank you once again for your support! Take care and stay safe...

Much love,

~ the CDG team ❤️

Beta Branch Note: These changes are currently available on the beta branch. The beta branch is for testing experimental changes and for finding and fixing errors.

This is how you get access to the beta branch (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK):
Right-Click on Avorion in your Steam list, Properties -> Betas -> Select branch 'Beta Branch - Newest Changes & Experimental Features'.

• Rifts prevent Ore purification. Previously this meant that you could not mine asteroids in rifts with Purifying Mining Lasers at all. Now they can break up rift stone like R-Mining Lasers, but not as efficiently.
• Secondary objective objects are no longer dockable to avoid confusion
• Object Detectors can now detect and highlight the Time Device
• Added additional dialog to the Time Device to make it clearer that you need to complete all Into The Rift story missions before you can use it
• Improved description of Xsotan Core Extraction mission objectives

• Rift extraction is now always visible in HUD (for Ripcord, Wormhole Generator, Wormhole Device)
• Rift teleport (both into the rift and out of it via Ripcord) can now be canceled
• Improved the teleporters "Go-To" dialog option: in addition to being moved to the teleporter, the player ship is now oriented towards it
• If a ship needs to be restored out of a rift sector after a crash, it is no longer silently moved to players reconstruction site
• If it's a player ship, it's restored at the last repair dock the player has seen (the same sector the player will respawn at)
• If it's an alliance ship, it's restored at the reconstruction site of one of the alliance members and all alliance members are informed by mail
• Xsotan Hunter Captain's chat messages now show the ship's name instead of the ship's class (as class is just "Ship" by default)

• Fixed a crash when removing entities with pending updates from a sector
• [UBR] Fixed a crash when there were very high amounts of loot in the sector and optimized handling of glow particles
• [UBR] Fixed a crash that occurred when player ships were destroyed right at the start of a camera animation
• [UBR] Fixed a crash when entering a new sector related to loot rendering
• [UBR] Fixed an issue where non-functional cube ships would be generated for NPCs
• [UBR] Fixed an issue where repair platforms were unable to restore any blocks that were lost since entering the rift sector if the ship was initially over the rift missions weight limit
• Fixed an issue where partial secondary objective descriptions were displayed for the currently tracked mission
• Fixed some descriptions in missions not being translated
• Fixed an issue where the continue button in the main menu was disabled after version updates
• (Note: Even if the continue button is disabled, previous galaxies are still accessible through "Singleplayer")

(UBR = User Bug Report)

• Alcohol Crafting
  
• New Vehicles and Transporting Cargo
  
• Time Skipping Bed
  
• Savegames Beta
  
• More NPCs
  
• Many bug fixes and tweaks

While working on adding controller and Steamdeck support, we ran into some complications and technical issues we weren’t able to resolve, so this update won’t include it. Also, because of the delay with that, we weren’t able to finish the new layout options.

We know you guys waited for those changes, and we’re very sorry we couldn’t add them this patch. But we’ll continue working on those, and hopefully will add them to the next one.

However, we did work on many other things (and thank god those worked out correctly :D)

So here’s the list of everything new:

• Achievements were added!

• You can now change your "home" bus

• Added 7 new quests

• Added completely new buses - Ural and Street Food

• Ural is available at the Bus Sale

• Added new collectibles

• You can now sell doors

• You can now remove partitions

• Added new items: furniture, hobs, showers, dakimakuras, cubes with letters

• Some localization improvements

• Better plumbing UI

• Fixed bug when player has to put all the furniture again after reload

• Fixed bug with some objects movement possibility

• Fixed an issue where finishes would flicker with a weird checkered texture instead of its own

• Fixed some bugs with placing objects along a wall with different floor heights

• Fixed bug with collectibles interaction button

• Fixed a bug where already mounted objects could not be snapped/placed

• Fixed an issue where facades would change their texture when switching materials

• Fixed an issue where trims would appear in the shop when the player did not have the finishes tool

• Fixed a visual bug where the final screen had too many tasks to fit on it

Thanks everyone for sharing feedback, bugs, and just playing the game itself.

We will continue to improve it.

Hope you enjoy the update!
