Hi friends!
Work on 'The Library Story' is in full swing, the release date is getting closer...
In the meantime, we'd like to hold a small poll. The thing is that, while porting the game, ideally, it's necessary to make some changes to the interface and some mechanics/functions (for example, highlighting active objects with the mouse is an excellent option, but on mobile platforms this does not work properly...)
But this makes sense only if it is important for a significant ...

Greetings, Patreon and non-Patreon comrades.
This time we post Monday’s news on Monday. We know it’s unusual, but there you go.
We didn’t post any news last week because we had our hands full with various fun activities related to the game.
1. We came up with and made sketches of more than thirty monsters for the game (only 12 of them are drawn completely so far). Will all of them make their appearance in the Chapter Two? Hardly. Now we need to finish drawing them, adj...

A little about our plans. The most important plan is: that after the current headline “LS 0.95 release date” you could finally play this very version 095. In fact, on this news could be ended by these words and and go to the dates...
The Library Story 0.95 release for patrons: May 29, 2020 *

Wednesday is here, so it’s time for Monday news!
By this time, we already came up with a whole bunch of new features for the Chapter Two. And we even tested some of them!
But it’s too early to list them here. The thing is, we’re still estimating what will be included in the next release and what, alas, we’ll probably have to postpone until better times. But believe us, we’re not going to throw away anything.
So, fo...

Hi friends!
The release of the first chapter of Iris Quest (including bonus materials) took place, I hope you like the result. We put a lot of time and effort into it, but it was clearly worth it. And we are not going to stop (for example, at the last skype conference we discussed the list of changes for the battle-system in the quantity of... 14(!) points. Not all of them will go to work, but still this is an impressive amount of innovations).
But now we will talk about 'The Libr...

Greeting, Patreon and even non-Patreon comrades.
We already released and you, hopefully, played “Iris Quest: Chapter One”. This is the fait accompli, so it’s time for the project to move on.
In fact, the work on the Chapter Two was started long ago. But we were working on it in the background of the main task, off and on.
And so, yesterday, after participating in a conference for the members of our little ‘studio’, we officially started the development of the Chapt...

Here comes the day of the public release of “Iris Quest: Chapter One”!
The main difference between public and patreon-only versions is fixes made after our patreons played the game.
This time the changelog is as follows:
1) The mechanics of battle with the King of Imps were reworked.
2) Imps also received their share of new skills.
3) We finally implemented the system of transferring your game data between ch...

Thanks to everyone who took part in the current poll about mini-games. Expectedly, "everything is good in moderation" option has won. Therefore, we will try to follow this course starting from the full 095 where such mini-game has been already planned ;)
Meanwhile, work on 'The Library Story' 0.95 is well underway. Perhaps, we will add some additional content if we manage on time with the basic quests, of course. If not, then this little storyline will go to LS 0.96...

Allow us to inform you that we will make “Iris Quest: Chapter One” available for free download this Wednesday. Also, on Wednesday we’ll post a bonus content for it, especially for our patreons.
And, as you can see, we’re trying to resume posting our news on Mondays again.

We did it! The first chapter of “IQ” is out now. We crossed the Rubicon, burned our bridges, done the deed, stopped fooling around, there’s no going back anymore, etc., etc. And this brought our small team a giant relief. Finally, we got the feeling that as long as we’re alive, we can do everything planned. Your mostly positive feedback also helped. You can’t even imagine how pleasant and inspiring it is to read your words after doing all that huge...

Here it is, promised by us and, hopefully, awaited by you: the release (at first, patreon-only) of the “Iris Quest: Chapter One”! (“Troubles Delivered to Your Door”)
It includes the Prologue, the Chapter One itself, a lot of art, texts, various game mechanics, secrets and, of course, obscenities.
For now, we’re posting all this goodness for our patreons only. Th...

Hi friends!
Work on LS 0.95 part 2 goes in full swing: texts are being translated, refined by our proofreaders and added into the game.
In the meantime, we'd like to hold a small poll. In our game, we try to add various mini-games (or sometimes small game episodes), which's intended to diversify the gameplay. For example, from the new version 0.95 part 1 you might notice ----stubs---- where the mini-game may appear later. It intends that the player will have to catch Belle and&nbs...

Well, the first chapter of the “Iris Quest” is practically ready. All that’s left to do is tweak a few lines of code, put a couple of remaining arts and sounds to their rightful places, play it all a few times and finally release.
This month we did really good work and, as a result, it became possible to release the Chapter One not even on the 1st of April, but on the 31st of March.
But we won’t do that.

The things are going (knock, knock, knock on wood) well.

It’s awfully embarrassing to not make it on time for “February 31”. And it’s equally embarrassing to realize that if it wasn’t for the January problems with the script which slowed down translation, programming and even drawing, we would have had every chance to make it. But whatever happened, happened.
Now, let’s take a look at our updated page of colorful squares.

Work on LS 0.95 is in full swing. Looks like it would be very short news... But we will take a moment and repeat that we are still very looking for Russian-to-English translators!
The thing is that work on translations of LS goes slowly and with difficulties, therefore, if you: 1) know Russian at a level higher than Google translate (this is really important!), 2) you know English well, and also want to help our project - please be sure to write us to PM or to

We received some feedback on LS Tentacle-tree edition release. So we decided to gather answers about some repeatative questions in this message. So-called a small Tentacle-FAQ. ^ __ ^
1. It is not all content related to Tentacle-tree in 0.95, but only a part of it (about half).
2. No, it’s not at necessary that Belle deprives virginity precisely of tentacles. This i...

Dear Patreon comrades!
We were really rushing to complete the first chapter for you as a New Year present, we really were! But alas, the amount of stuff planned and our quality standards didn't allow us to make it in time.(
It's only 24 hours left until the New Year, so we understand that it's time to stop working and focus on celebration, presents, Christmas Tree, cooking, watching "The Mandalorian", having fun with family & friends. All this New Year's stuff, you know.

Now, while you hopefully have a good rest, we continue working on LS. Texts are in the process of translation and proofreading. Despite the obvious disadvantages, this extra-time can give some benefits. First of all, there is an opportunity to add some stuff that was planned for the next version of the game. Furthermore, as we've already mentioned, there will be the release of a special version of LS 'Tentacle-tree edition' on the 10th of January (for patrons only). The f...

Dear Patreon comrades.
Only a month left until the end of the year, so we just can’t keep silent about the “Iris Quest” status.
But today we would like to speak not so much about our plans before the New Year, but about the project’s global vision.
When we started IQ, we wanted (and still want) to not only make one more ‘adult’ game, but also to create a product which will include ALL our knowledge and skills obtained during the work on others’ projects; to ful...

Work on 'The Library Story' ver 0.95 continues at full speed.
And first of all, we'd like to say great thank you to all those who responded and offered their help with translation and proofreading! (of course, objectively, there are much more people who want to help with proofreading than those who could help with the translation... Which is not at all surprising :D.

As you all probably know, there are a lot of texts in our game. Furthermore in the upcoming version 0.95 there will be especially a lot of them. Therefore we need additional translators. Now we are looking for new interpreters, and we strongly need people who are really interested in LS!
So if you are interested in 'The Library Story', would you like to make your special contribution to our project and you are fluent in Russian and English (Google Translat...

Sorry for the delay with messages. The thing is that work on LS is in full swing and is along with other things like business trips related to our basic job and real life in general, which does not add free time.
Alongside this, the closer 'The Library Story' 0.95 release, the less we want to show big and spicy spoilers, because it is much better for you to see everything yourself in the game! ^__^

But one thing we can say for sure ... there will be several new characters. Yes, these darkened silhouettes are them. Some of these characters will play a minor role, and some will be important for the plot and you can do all sorts of interesting thin...

Furthermore, there is a lot of work with tentacle tree now... Well, it’s always difficult with it and it's not a surpeise because it just has a disgusting character. And yes, it will grow in 0.95 even MORE! So Belle will have to be very careful so that n...

We've done a lot of preparatory and basic work on LS this month and finally we can tell you the exact release date for 'The Library Story' 0.95. As we've already said, this will be a really big version, where, in addition to a bunch of new content, existing game mechanics will be rethought. There is supposed to be many changes - from the concept of hunting and combat system to storylines and quests. Most importantly, it will be the basis for the upcoming 1.0 version of th...

Hi everyone! Do you remember us? We are those guys who went to test the technical demo of our game saying that it’ll take a few days or weeks at most.
And it took two months. But now we’re back.
