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 ðŸ˜

Hey Patrons!
Finalizing a lot of stuff for the Demo now that Blushy is back to having time to work on the game!
We have new scenes in the works that we'll post soon, feeling about 50% done, but the story and programming are done!
So let's recap:
- The Highroad Travelers is a SFW Adult Sitcom, focusing on storytelling
- It's a full rework of SpicyQuest to be accessible by everyone
- It will h...

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.
From the review story-only build I played last night that Spicy sent me, the story is pretty much all set and now it's just up to me to finish drawing art assets ):
So far, during my time visiting my parents I finished up ...

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.
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.)

Hey Patrons!
Here’s your weekly update on the game we’re working on in our free time.
Transparency Update:
First off, Blushy finished her move, but now her kids are having issues with adjusting to a new home, making it hard for her to work. Those of you on her patreon are seeing a bit of a slow time as well.
Game Update:

Hey All, Spicy here.
Here's whats going on in our neighborhood:
Those of you on BlushyPixy's Patreon know she's having to move out of her family home to a temporary place due to Landlord issues, so scene work is at a halt, as stated in the last update.

So this month Blushy lost her cousin and it's been a hard few weeks for her.
I do't want her to push herself too hard.
With that said, here is the game update news:

- Writing has gotten up to Cere vs Rogue so, 2 more Challenges left until the writing for the demo is done

- Yes, we're working on this only when we aren't working our regular jobs.
- After some more work and cutting some excess plot points to streamline the story, we've reviewed with 7 of our Story Reviewers, and they're very happy with what we currently have!
So, now all we need to do is work on finishing the Challenges, polish thos...

So far, we're pretty happy with a lot of the writing.
We recently got to fleshing out the 1st Challenge between Kaye and Red! So far, we've gotten a lot of laughs from the select people who asked to help us review story details.
Let us know if you want to take part in that review group too, on our Discord!
We're looking to have the first BETA demo out as soon as we can, but we'll definitely need more art assets.

Spicy here, and as you know, I've been doing a full rewrite of the story and turning it from a 15 Min Demo to a full 1 Hr+ worth of content for the base SFW visual novel (More for the Supporter's NSFW build)
All of this, of course, in my free time when I'm not doing my regular job.
We currently have 35 pages written. Full script is projected to be about 80-100 pages. Honestly ...

Expect a bit of delays since Blushy hasn't had time to work on scenes for the updated Demo, due to no one in her family having time to babysit her kids while she works.
Demo time is looking to be at least 35 mins with a 1 Hr playthrough for the full Episode 1.

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.
