Pony Waifu Sim Update - Late March

The sexy book horse wants to give you an anotomy lesson. Make sure you pay attention, there will be a quiz. 😉

We’re still crunching away at the next update. There will technically be two dates included in 5.3, and there’s lots of posing work to do. We want this to be a fitting conclusion to Purple Smart’s route.

We’re also hard at work on the backgrounds for the future Blue Fast dates and finale, so stay tuned for more previews on those as well!

Pony Waifu Sim Update - Late February

We're busy crankin' away at the final date for Purple Smart. Pusspuss has been learning ToonBoom (our animation software), and is preparing some awesome lewd animations! We also did a technical migration/upgrade, making some of our used systems more modular. Our StudioWhy Website also received a backend overhaul! It looks mostly the same now, but we'll be able to do some really cool stuff with it going forward.

StudioWhy - A look to the future! (Survey)

Just over four years ago, three individuals decided to start a studio dedicated to the lewd equine arts. In the time since then, it's hard to believe just how much we've grown. There are now over a dozen individuals involved at least part-time with the studio, some of whom are volunteers. What used to be manual game builds and collection of images on Google Drive (which could have been deleted by Google without notice) is now an automated deployment and release process and a self-hosted stora...

Pony Waifu Sim 5.2 Release Date Update

Hey everyone, we're working hard to get version 5.2 out as soon as possible but unfortunately we're going to have to push the release back by 2 weeks to December 14th.

One of the pieces of feedback from Hearthswarming Heat was a desire for more animations, and so in this upcoming version we decided to plan on adding two different high-quality lewd animations as stretch goals.

Due to some mis-communications, these ended up taking priority over a good porti...

Greeting everyone! I hope all of our fans in the US had a happy Boom Day! 🎆

Just a small update for now. We've all been hard at work arting, coding, and storyboarding the next update. Things are going smoothly and none of us are blocked.

Hearthswarming Heat - Open Call for Translators

Hey everyone!

Due to changes in production compared to Pony Waifu Sim, we are able to much more easily localize the dialogue of Hearthswarming Heat. As such, we are putting out an open call for translation volunteers. All languages welcome!

There are around 830 lines/8,861 words (albeit with some repeats) that would need to be translated.

We can provide instructions and a .csv file with each line listed sequentially.

Some people wanted to know what was taking so long, so I thought I'd explain some very poorly timed events that have occurred over the past week.

*Frantic Moaning*

Hey everyone.

We really really really wanted to be able to be finished by this month but the final stretch has been a doozy.

What is done:

  • All main writing except for the ending.
  • Art for the intro to the game.
  • Art for the lewd scenes in the game.
  • Posing (putting art to dialogue) for the lewd scenes of the game.

What still needs to be done...
