Hey guys, I'm still working on the Halloween special and it should be ready pretty soon. I'm about 90% done. Anyway, here's one of the animations just for you guys. This is low quality gif format but it will look better in the game.

Hey guys,
I wanted to give you all an update on the Halloween short.
The good news is that this is shaping up to be quite a substantial amount of content! We’re looking at over 200 renders, some animations, and choices that lead to several different outcomes at the end.
The downside—yep, you guessed it—it’s taking a bit longer than expected. I’ll need at least a few more days to wrap everything up, so we’re probably looking at early to mid next week for the release....

Hey guys, it's time for another dev log.
Well, it's been a busy month and through all the hustle and bustle of wrapping up chapter six and continuing work on the very late Halloween special among other side projects, I completely forgot that we missed the anniversary of The East Block! Warning, this is a long one.
Skip the next several paragraphs for the dev log info at the end.
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I released the first chapter of this ga...

Hey guys, here's a special sneak peek for Aweome-est and GOAT patrons of the Halloween special that's coming soon. This mini visual novel will have choices and multiple endings and feature close to 200 renders. It's looking like this won't be available until sometime next week. I apologize for how late it is, but hopefully it will be worth the wait.
I hope you're all having a great week so far!

Hey guys, I just want to bring up an issue that I have received several messages about. Apparently virus infected versions of my game are circulating around on various pirate websites and forums. I have had reports of two different instances or malicious code. One called "scan card" and another called "V__t1" and there may be more. These virus's are designed to steal personal information and credit card info from people that run the game. I know many of you like to try games before you decide...

Hey guys, I know it's very late, but the Halloween special 2024 is still coming and should be ready next week. This will be a spooky and sexy short featuring 100 or so renders and some animations. I'm having a great time making this and I hope you guys will like it when it's released.
I hope those of you that have played the latest update to The East Block enjoyed it. I'll post a dev log talking about what's coming up next. I hope you all have a great Friday and weekend!

Hey guys, you get first crack at the new update. This update features 849 new renders and 66 full motion videos to help bring the game to life. Please let me know if you come across any bugs, typos or incorrect name displayed when a person is talking or thinking. 0.6.2 fixes some bugs and typos.

Hey guys, just popping on to let you know I'm almost done. I ran into a few issues with videos not loading well on lower end systems, so I had to go through and set up preloads for the videos to make sure they play smoothly. Some of the videos don't loop and need to be sync'd with a still image after the video plays. Getting this to be seamless can be an issue on very old PCs, so I'm working on that as well as fixing various things and making a few adjustments. Also decided to add a few thing...

Hey guys, just a quick update about the progress of chapter six.
I'm working hard on getting it done asap, but sadly things are taking a lot longer than I'd like. I won't release it until things are the way I want it and everything is good. This requires fixing janky pacing, bad renders and dialog that don't flow nicely. I also decided to add a small scene to this update to pace the story a bit better. I'm sorry for those of you that were anxiously waiting, but I think this update is r...

Hey guys, here is the last dev log before the release of chapter six.
I have been working my butt off to get this release out to you guys as quickly as possible and of course things always take longer than expected. I was hopeful to have everything completed by today but that just isn't possible. I'm going to need about another week to get this one done, so I apologize for that.
This will be the first chapter that will have all full motion video animations. I have mastered the a...

Hey guys, just quickly popping on here to post a quick render. If you look closely you might see a hint to what might be in store for Luke and Kathryn.
I'm still working hard on the update and I'll get it out to you guys as soon as I can.

Hey guys,
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the start of fall. I've been working my butt off getting this update finished. It seems like no matter what I try to plan out, things always end up requiring more renders, more tweaks and fixes. So I apologize for how long it takes me to get these updates out. I really wish I could manage a healthy sized update every two months maximum, but it always seems to take longer lately.
Anyway, I'm working as fast I can without sacrif...

Hey guys, I'm back from holiday so I thought now would be a good time to do a dev log and let you guys know how things are going and what to expect in the near future.
So after a nice rest and break from working on the game, I'm excited to get into it and get this update finished. After playing through what I have so far and thinking about the flow of the game, I realize that I need to add and remove some content or make some changes. I want to make sure I release something that you guy...

Hey guys, it's time for another dev log.
So I have made some great progress on chapter six and after spending some time with animations over the past few months, I'm happy to report that I've finally got to the point where simple animations are really easy for me to do now and actually take up less space than the transition animations that are in the game now. They don't take much longer to make and of course they look a lot better. I'll slowly retroactively put them into the past chap...

Hey guys, I'd like to get a sense of what kind of features you prefer in adult games. Pick as many as you like and please comment if you would like to expand on the reason for your choice/s. This information will help with possible future projects and extra stand alone content that I may work on in the near future. Choose these options assuming they are done right and not poorly implemented and suggest any other features that you like if it's not listed here.
Thanks,
Bobby

Well, summer is just about over thankfully. As someone who loathes the heat, I welcome fall with open arms and can't wait to feel the cool fall air and that first whiff of winter. Then it's all downhill a few months later when I'm freezing my ass off shoveling snow! You just aren't allowed to have perfect weather for very long here in the north east of North America.
I've taken a break from production to write another dev log and let you guys know what's going on with me and the game. ...

Hey guys, I've had a few members message me about being double charged for their memberships. After investigating I noticed that the members in question were all ones that upgraded their memberships.
How Patreon works is if you upgrade your membership at some point after you initially subscribed, your original membership renews at the upgraded tier even if it's only been a couple days since you paid for the upgrade. For example, just say you subscribed on August 2nd at the $3.50 tier, ...

As some of you know, I've been playing around with animations and thought I'd post a little one I made of Kathryn dancing seductively. Let me know what you think. The quality isn't great because I can only post gif animations on Patreon but it's enough for you to get the idea.

I mean to get these out every week, but I always seem to miss the mark on that and I apologize for my tardiness. There's not too much to report, which can be a good thing when you're balancing so many things at once. I haven't had any setbacks or any life incidents that have taken up my development time thankfully. I want to thank my wonderful wife for being so understanding since I started working on this game. She is my real life Kat...

Hey guys, it's time for the first dev log since the release of chapter five. I might be rambling a bit in this one so sorry in advance.
So chapter five is out and from what I can tell, most of you enjoyed it. As usual it's impossible to make something that everyone likes. Adult visual novel enjoyers have much different expectations versus fans of a TV series for example. I feel like we expect a complete self contained experience in every update that ticks every box and that's difficult...
