Hello everyone! Just a quick update.

Since September, I've been working on materials for a convention, which took place last weekend. I'll be resuming the development of the game now.

I have about 5 CGs left to draw before I can start coding. Hopefully, I’ll be able to post a new build before 2026.

See ya!

Hey everyone ! A short update.

Have to focus on some unrelated work for an upcoming convention planned for this november, so I won't be able to work as much as I wanted on Lubrificanus. I'm still drawing CGs when I can however, so time is not lost !

I won't give a new deadline, as I'm not good keeping those, but will try my best finishing this update ASAP. Will keep you updated (and will post a lil preview of the new CGs on my bluesky when I'm back home from Greece).

See ya, and thx for your patience (as always) ! <3

it's a bit tricky. You have to obtain the candy from the mermen brothers. In the trial, when you play as Lube, touch the frozen tree where you hid the candy to send it to Ruben and use it when given the choice.

Tell me if you need more infos on how to obtain the candy.

Hey there !

No worries ! I'm taking antidepressants to deal with anxiety attacks and all that good stuff. The problem is more the side-effects (I tend to sleep/procrastinate a lot). So don't worry, I have friends and family to keep me afloat 💪

...and I won't give up on the game. Had a good 5 monthes where the antidepressants completely fucked my schedule/productivity but now I'm back on track and working on the game a bit everyday ! I'll share more updates soon !

Thx for your message anyway ❤️

Quick update, so you know I don't play Mario Kart and beat my meat 24/7.

Next update will be Duke's shop. A weird guy in the forest selling items for you to buy/use. Here are the pics I'll have to draw for this sidequest :

• Duke sprite : DONE
• Duke/Ruben CG #1 : DONE
• Duke/Ruben CG #2 : DONE
• Duke card + upgrade : DONE
• New diary entry : TBD

In addition to this, Duke will sell you an item and it will be up to you to choose who to use it on (you will have the choice between 4 characters). So getting all the CGs for this item will require you to save/load your game.

• Duke item #1 : TBD
• Duke item #2 : TBD
• Duke item #3 : TBD
• Duke item #4 : TBD

Still confident about a september release. You can already see Duke's sprite on my bluesky.

3 quick things :  I'll try to post updates every month, even if it's not interesting stuff, like this post.

Second, Duke is the OC of my buddy CummyTomato. Check Duke's game Dukeporne here : https://mrtomatoesquire.itch.io/

Third : Thx so much for your donations ! <3 Thinking about a way to thank you all in a more concrete way !
 

First, I'll be working on Ruben's sidequests, then Typhon's route. A new route requires A LOT of new content so that's a lot of work lol

Thank you ! <3 Working hard on it right now so you shouldnt have to wait too long for next update. :)

Yes ! 2025 has been rough but I'm on it.
Adding a gallery will be the next update and will be ready before the end of june. After that, I'll be working on a new character/quest that will require more work but should be done by september.

Thx dude ! The older I get, the stupider so you should like the next updates o/

Hey everyone! Quick update:
February through June is usually the most challenging period for me at work, and this year was even worse. Progress on the game has been minimal so far, but I should be able to dedicate more time to it moving forward.
I'll do my best to release a build this weekend with bug fixes and a shortcut to level 2. Nothing too fancy, but it's a start! After that, I'll begin working on a side quest, aiming for a late June deadline. Apologies for the delays!

Hey thank you ! Yes, still in development. It has unfortunately been slower than expected but will try my bestest to post a small update before the end of this month. 

Still there ! 2025 has been quite rough and we had some big changes at my daytime job, so I haven't been able to work on the game as much as I could. Was talking about a big update (gallery, new quests,...) but I'll probably break it into several small updates so you guys don't have to wait too much. Planning the first one before the end of this month.

Hello everybody ! I got some bug reports from other places and got my bug list sorted out. I should be able to upload a corrected build in about a week or two.
@Crispybanana : (sorry for the late reply) the next update is MEATY. I may have to divide it in multiple mini-updates. One of them is the ability to get to chap.2 wihout playing chapter 1, so you don't have to go to Fissa each time. Will keep y'all updated !

Happy New Year everyone ! <3
Resume codding right now, starting with a huge-ass bug report. After that, I'll start the missing quests and bonuses of Ruben's chap 2, then it ill be Typhon's time to shine ! o/ Thx for your patience ! <3

Adding this to the list ! First thing I'll do in January is a major bug fix

just play the game and choose Ruben as your companion. :)

Hey thank you so much ! 🥺 Resuming dev in January and some dumb shit is already planned ! Was planning those jokes since I first started codding the game so I'm glad you people will finally see them !

hello everybody ! Just a lil update to say I'll resume coding the game in January. 2024 is a mess, I need to draw fanarts. :)

Also, will delete my Twitter so follow me on Bluesky if you can !

Took some time to check but unfortunately, if you translated the diary and got the text about purple leaves, caterpillars yadda yadda, and still no diary page when you click on them, it looks like a bug. :/ Very sorry I'll have it fixed asap

That's... a lot of gold !

In the next update, there will be new shops to spend your gold in. Still, 214 quadrillions is a bit overkill ! I'll see what I can do !

If you have translated the mini-diary, the only thing left to do is to check the "purple leaves" mentionned in it (on the right, below the path leading to the small glade). Depending on the build you have, they may or may not be displayed, but the button still work.

Hey there ! Can you check the detailled post (first post of this topic) and tell me here you're at. Can't help you without knowing what steps you have finished already. :)

Have you already translated the tiny diary inside the cupboard ? If yes and it mentions purple leaves, you may have a tiny bug. I'll explain how to fix it.

The whole quest is detailled in the first post. If you're still stuck, tell me what you have done already so I can help you. :)

Haven't replied yet. 8__8

Thank you for your feedback, gets me motivated for the next update ! o/
Rhin and Sambre will have a little lewd scene in the next build. Can't wait to start working on it ! o/

He's an old OC from a past project ! I'll see if I can post some old art later. ;)

So many bugs. My poor heart. 8__8

@NightWalking

• The purple leaves are always there, it's not an imagebutton. Do you mean you can't get the page by clicking on them ? Anyway, your feedback is nicely detailled, so it should be easy to fix. :)
• I kinda see what that second bug is about. It's a bit tricky to fix so it could be recquiring more time but I'll work on it today !

@Lau Tai

• For the mouth/eye thing, you can see them at the center of the screen. It happens sometimes when you press the skip key before the sprite is totally loaded. I'll find a way to fix that.
• The problem with Taureau's card is easy to fix.

Hey there ! Not right now. I'm planning an Android version but only when I'm done with the PC build.

Thank you so much for taking the time ! You can DM that on twitter, if you're still there. :) @UramakiGigan

OMG WHAT ??! xD

Will update it today 8__8

Hey everyone ! Worked hard on your bug reports so first, a huge thx to all of you for taking the time to feedback me. :)

I as unable to replicate 2 bugs. 

• First, the bug mentionned by Phoenix555, mentionned right above this post.
• Second, Grakedrik's mention that we can't give Admiral Lance's card.

I'll keep looking into those but you encounter them (and if you have the time of course), could you post it here in the clearest ay possible (when the bug happened, does it happen each time, screenshot of the error screen maybe, etc...). Would make my life easier.

That said, I insist noone is forcing you ! I'll keep trying to fix them by myself and upload a revised build asap. :)

It should work now ! Keep me updated plz. :)

So Chap.2 (Ruben's route) is done (still need a bit of bug fixing, but let's not talk about that...), what's next ?

As I posted earlier, this chapter was truncated with several side quests so as not to make you wait 2 more years. Before I start working on Typhon's route, here's what to expect for the next update :

• A gallery, accessible from the main menu
• Money Maker will be accessible from the main menu and you'll be able to get special rewards from it (unrevealed cards, new profile sprites, WIP drawings and new CGs). This card game will be independant from the in-game one, which means the cards you'll get/upgrade won't be in the main game.
• A big sidequest starting a new currency : orbs. Orbs will give you access to small scenes featuring various characters, which will allow you to discover the daily lives of these characters before Lubrificanus. 2 scenes are planned at the moment : Rhin/Sambre and Tristam/Lou. In the future, I will ask you to pick your favorite heroes to be featured in those scenes.
• We'll see what's behind the glass window, in the Green Mansion. This sidequest was planned in case you break Money Maker and earning money is getting too easy. You'll find a simple way to spend cash.
• I'd also like to put 4 orbs and 3 additional diary pages in that update.
• A shortcut/cheatcode that will let you access to chapter 2 without playing chapter 1, and one that will give you free money, for those who just want to rush in.

That's it ! A lot of work to be done, but I'm motivated ! I'll keep you updated.

Also, thx a lot for the whole lot of you who played this update (and the ones who sent a tip ! <3) ! It's far from perfect but it's hard work, so I hope you liked this chapter ! See ya soon ! <3

Glad you like it ! Yeah a gay game with a female MC is a bit weird but Lube is a true ally ! <3

More dudes coming in the next update ! I'm giving myself a month to draw FE porn and fix all bugs then I'll be working on it ! My goal is to not make you wait 2 years for what's next lol

Hey ! Have to fix some quick bug and I'll try my best to release a new build today evening. I'll look into @SublimationBot's findings, it's probably the cause of your problems.

Yo !

A gallery is planned for the next update. It's a bit tricky to code, and I wanted to release this build quickly (lol). I'll see if I can do the same with the cards but it may be a bit complicated, as the .png for the cards have their value included. I'd have to save the visuals as new .png. Not a problem but I must check if it won't take too much space.

The problem I have with sound effects is that they're just not enough. I'd have to add moans as well, which means finding voice actors. It's doable (actually, it's an idea I had even before releasing the first build) but not top priority.
...but we'll see ! That's something I'd like to see implemented in the future for sure !

Yeah, you don't get a continue picture after finishing this build cause I was lazy. 8D Thought about it right before releasing the build, that realized you guys have waited enough. I'll try to quickly code one.

You'll get more Buffalo/Ruben in the future. You'll have to wait til chapter 3 but you'll have the opportunity to pick Ruben a boyfriend. Buffalo will be among the available bachelors. ;)

No worries ! I like this kind of feedback ! When I can implement it, it's a pleasure to do so !

@ Grakedrik : Huh that's weird ! Will check it today !
@ DoubleMirror : For the Mermen domain, yeah it's normal. It's so people don't enter it and get confused by what they are looking for, so I made the accessible area a bit smaller. For your other points, it will be fixed today.

Thx for your reports ! o/

Slowly building that Ennemies to (reluctant) lovers storyline lol

I wrote Josiane in the game only because one friend loved Beatrice so much he was disappointed when she died lol Each chapter needs her own unhinged fairy ! <3

Thank youuu ! 8__8 Glad you like that update ! <3
Lol imagine me having a Patreon ? Every month you'd get half a finished pic. >__>

Thank you, it only took 2 fucking years lol

Giving myself some days to fix bugs and stuff then I'll lay down what's coming next ! You won't have to wait that long !

I'll see if I can find a solution but right now, I have no idea. :/ Didn't change the way I upload my builds since the first chapter. Are on Mac or PC ?

When I download an itch.io game, I basically run the .exe file located inside the folder, it looks like you do it another way ?
Also make sure to delete your previous files (pinned a topic about it) as a lot from Chapter 1 as changed. Running it as it is will be extra buggy.

I'll try to search for a solution. Keep me updated.
