Happy New Year

Hey everyone,

Happy New Year! Depending on where you are in the world, you might already be in 2026 or just a few hours away. Regardless, I wish you all the same: health above all else, much love, and amazing prosperity.

I wanted to send a message over Christmas, but life had other plans. To be honest, I spent part of the holidays recovering from a "war" between my stomach and a tag team of a bad samosa and red wine, but the bigger reality is that 2025 was a year that pushed me to...

Updated and question

Hey everyone!

First and foremost, we have some fantastic news! We're thrilled to confirm that the final public releases for Journey Abroad and Blood Lust are both still comfortably on track to be released before Christmas. That's the most important thing!

Now, we do have a question for you.

Would you like us to be more active here on Patreon, or should we continue to reserve this space strictly for major announceme...

New release incoming!

Hey everyone!

If you’ve been following us on Discord (and if you haven’t, you really should!), you probably know that the final test version of Journey Abroad is dropping tomorrow. After weeks of constant updates and improvements, many of which came directly from your amazing feedback, we’re finally at a point where we can proudly call this our “final product” to showcase what’s ahead.

And you know what that means... it’s time for View Post

Updated on my health status and our games

Hey everyone!

Well, this message has been a long time coming, but I've been avoiding it a bit, mostly because talking about "my problems" would just increase "my problems". I'll try to lay out a rough time frame of what happened.

On May 14, I had the first episode of a massive burnout. I was starting work in the morning with Issac, we were having a coffee before work, and out of nowhere, my brain just "shut off". I explained this as deeply as I could on Discord, but at the time I...

New Poll for Blood Lust main antagonist:

I recently conducted a poll for you to choose many features for the main antagonist (University Director), but I may have overlooked some important "features." Since you've already selected his facial design, body type, and suit, I’d now like you to decide on his skin complexion. Some have expressed concerns that the skin complexion votes may have been diluted across multiple characters.

To ensure a truly democratic process, not a controlled one or the illusion of one, I’m leaving t...

Journey Abroad Release

Hey everyone!
How are you all doing? Hope your week’s been treating you well!

So… this isn’t the message we were hoping to write today, but here we are. Unfortunately, due to the unforeseen circumstances you’re all aware of, we’ve lost a significant chunk of work and time to work on the patch and as such we won’t be able to release the game today as planned.

Originally, we just wanted to suck it up, work on it and assess the delay and we thought Fri...

Blood Lust - Tech Demo Release

It's February 25th and as promised, the tech demo of Blood Lust is here.

Honestly, I didn't miss this part of development. I remember back in the days on Fleeting Iris when the first few patches were literally about testing scripts, making and remaking maps, busts, delivering scenes, getting poor reception for those scenes, and having ...

Journey Abroad - Tech Demo Release

At long last, here it is! After a long, loooong wait, we're finally working on it. This version will be available for free everywhere, but keep in mind that the next release will only be accessible through its designated platforms and tiers.

The Future of Heaven Studios

I’ve been avoiding this conversation for a long time because saying it out loud makes it real. But I can’t avoid it anymore—this year has been one of the hardest in my life. And honestly, I just want this phase to be behind us.

The truth is, we’re struggling. Isaac as a lot of you know, had to take on a part-time work at a cyber security company which left him with little to no time to work on Heaven Studios, and I had to find a second job because, for a while now, I’ve been m...

X-Mas Release

Hey guys,

I have a huge announcement to make but I will make that in a different post. For this post I just want to say, there's a X-Mas version available in Discord with all the H Scenes available already, proofread, fully tested, they all work.

I still need to port the dialogue as well as a few transition scenes and the ending, and songs, and a bunch of other data from the test server to the main server which will take me a couple of days so expect a "finished" version middle ...

Small continuation error on Eve

Hey guys,

Hmmm, so, while we were wrapping up the Christmas Patch, I noticed a slight issue that I'm honestly a little embarrassed I didn't notice before. Also surprised no one mentioned it either.

Apparently, Eve has a beauty mark under the left side of her lip in her bust, which was intended, but I noticed the beauty mark wasn't in a couple of images that are going to come out in Blood Lust. Then, I checked the Christmas Patch and realized she's missing the beauty mark in the he...

Short Update

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to give you all a quick update. The Christmas patch is nearly complete, and it has evolved into something entirely different from what we initially planned. What started as “this is so funny, people are gonna have a blast” has transformed into “holy crap! This has an actual plot and so much potential to grow.”

I don’t want to spoil the last-minute changes we’ve made, as that would ruin some key plot points—especially regarding Evelyn’s s...

Blood Lust Villain Poll: Suit Type Pick

Hello again!

To wrap it up, we will need to decide on the type of suit he wears, which I like to think would say a bit about his personality! We can choose the color of the suit so if you pick B or C we can present a few colors (for instance, white old school or brown like corduroy).

Remember, votes will be up until the 15th so if you want to ask questions before voting, feel free. Let's gooo!

Blood Lust Villain Poll: Body Type Pick

Hey again! 😁

This time, we will be voting the body type and if we want hair or not. Keep in mind that if we pick a different ethnicity for the face, the skin tone will be adjusted automatically, we're just picking body type and hair or not.

Choose wisely!

Blood Lust Villain Poll: Face Pick

Hey everyone!

As you know, in just a couple of weeks, we’ll be releasing the first patch of Blood Lust! That means it’s time to choose the Melvin—I mean, the main villain!

His role will be the university dean, one of the game’s major antagonists, and the character with the most screen time and scenes.

Remember, we can mix and match any face, body, and ethnicity, so keep that in mind when making your choice. If you have extra suggestions, fee...

Update News

Hey guys!

I wish this was a notice saying the "DLC" was available in our website but we're gonna need a couple more days. Due to various reasons I wasn't able to put as many hours into development as I wish I could have last week, as well as having a last minute change in the story of the game which I will explain post-patch that I think will make the DLC a lot spicier, and a few new assets had to be done.

So here's the goal for the next 20 days:

In regards to the Fleeting Iris NTR...

How did the game hit you? We tried to make multiple routes in which the level of NTR would fluctuate between comic relief to emotionally scarring, but a lot of people say the NTR in Fleeting Iris wasn't impactful enough and that in the Remake we should involve Robert more and make him go through a lot more painful situations. What's your opinion on this?

If possible, elaborate in the comments.

Your vote matters!

Finally properly on track!

Hey guys!

As most of you know, we have finally found a new publisher and was able to finally push out the Ren'Py edition which our longest time supporters should be owners of for a while now. I can't thank you enough for keeping that version to yourselves despite the heavy requests for it to be pirated in many many websites. I knew I could trust the awesome community we have built and this, once again, was proof of it.

But now, even better news! Issac is done with his "parental le...

What would you like to see improved/fixed in the Remaster of Fleeting Iris?

If it were up to you, what would you like to see changed? What annoyed you? Which mechanics you'd like to see implemented? Maybe you have thought of something that we have not. Helps us make the Remaster even better than we've planned so far! Which improvements do you want to see in it?

Fleeting Iris v1.18 Final

Download: MEGA

Here it is everyone, this should be the absolute final version of Fleeting Iris. We've improved some scripts, the save system, some dialogues and a lot of typos. As far as we're concerned, that's a wrap for Fleeting Iris.

I'd say we won't see Ayame for a while until the Remaster, but we still have the X-Mas patch to...

Do you think Jack should get his own route?

In Fleeting Iris Remake, do you think the Family Route should work the way it is, or Jack and Arthur should have separate routes? (This can make the development time higher down the road and there might be the need to draw new scenes).

Twins DLC Release

Hey everyone!

It's been a while, eheh.

As you guys know, we have been incredible busy lately, the Ren'Py version has been released for a few loyal patrons, and will be available on Steam very soon, just waiting for the publisher to work some stuff out.

The Android version is also complete! As soon as the Ren'Py version is release on Steam (and a few other platforms) then the Android version is going to follow suit the very next day on DLSite and itch.io!

Hey everyone!

I know there's a lot of people thinking that we haven't posted anything in a while and I feel that there's a need to reiterate this from time to time.

We only post stuff on Patreon which we consider of utter importance such as big announcements, patches and important polls. Everything else we conduct usually through the supporter area in our Discord which you all have access to and I encourage to access and participate, you will be able to find very like-minded people as well as const...

Important Poll

Hey everyone,

We didn't want to bother anyone until the next release since we're trying to keep everything very spoiler-free but we need your help with a vote in our Discord to choose the appearance of one of the main characters of our second game so if it's not asking too much we would appreciate if you could head to Discord and participate in this vote to choose her to your liking.

Thank you very much in advance! <3

New Development Stream Segment

Hey everyone, hope all is going well! 

Thursday we had our first development stream and it was super fun! Part of our goal for the future is being absolutely transparent about our development as well as having more consistent patches instead of huge ones that are spaced longer.

Although the stream was very rough everyone enjoyed it but the limitations of YouTube forced us to interrupt the stream twice and eventually stop it altogether after a couple of hours due to many incid...
