[NEWS/BONUS PIC] Christmas Rogue w/ Nude Version

Happy Holiday season, everyone!


Thank you for your patience, Spicy and I have been spending time with our families for the holidays and working on the BlushyPixy Patreon, as I'm sure y'all understand!


We've got extra content coming and have been able to work in a few more scenes!


I'd say I'm 60% done with the scene sketches, since it's hard to work on stuff during the holidays 😭

Scene Work Part 4!

We're so excited to see more scenes done for Highroad Travelers! We really want to show you more scenes but a lot of them are spoiler-y lol

So, estimated run time for Episode 1 is approx. 1 Hour 20 Mins, maybe 50 mins if you're fast.

Your choices WILL change the ending you get and affect your beginning to Episode 2.

New Discord Coming...

Setting up for a new Discord to accommodate people after the public base game demo release of Highroad Travelers!

The game has been fleshed out so much that we feel like it deserves a new place for supporters, especially since it will be an ongoing episodic series!

Scene Progress P3!

So far, I'd say we're 40% done with the sketch versions of all of the SFW scenes for the Base SFW game build! 

Looking forward to finishing those and start working on the NSFW Add-on build for the supporters as soon as the Base game demo is out!

Scene Progress Part 2

Blushy Again!

So far I'm powering through these sketch placeholders so you all can get to play the Early Access Base Game build sooner than later!

In this early version, the scenes will all be sketches until I can go back through with Spicy and finalize them.

I'd say I'm about 30% through? I have about 75 ish sketches to do lol

After the public SFW Base Game is good to go, we start work on the NSFW Patron Only build!

Scene Progress!

Blushy Here!

Making steady progress on the scene placeholders!

These will be for the early access build, then once they're all done, I'll go back and finish them.

So far we have about 50 scenes that need to be made for the demo lol

I'm so so sorry about the wait, the demo story and engine build is pretty much done according to Spicy and Kimblee and I'm scrambling to get more work done on it and balancing my own Patreon work!

I'm sorry we're so behind on stuff, my life is all over the place at the moment ; ;

I just got out of the hospital last night for stomach pains, but I'm hoping things get back to normal for me soon since I really want to get back to work.

[News] Weekly Progress Report

Good Afternoon, Patrons!

Here’s your weekly update on the game we work on in our free time:

  • Now that we’re getting closer to a full Public Base Game demo, we’ve committed fully to the rebranding to our permanent series name, Highroad Travelers.


  • We’ve finished inputting the demo script into the engine, so the story with choices is pretty much playable without the scenes.


[News] Bonus Name Stuff

Us here at SweetHeat are a studio of people who have never worked on video games before and are learning as we go. So I've realized we do a lot of things that are kinda... unconventional.

We appreciate you sticking it out with us, and we appreciate those of you who support our decision to make a full fledged story rather than just smut. (You all will still get your porn in the NSFW Supporter Version, just more story related smut.)

Clarity Update (SFW/NSFW?)

SpicyQuest has always been made with the idea that it will be played SFW.

With that said, the story is being written SFW first with the Supporter's NSFW version built on top of that as extra content.

 We feel the need to clarify this, because of the amount of people who haven't read disclaimers or update posts who are upset there isn’t enough porn for them.  

 We mention often ...
