- Game Release 🎉🥳 - 17 July 2026
Be honest. You thought I might get sentimental on you. I announced it in the last update, right?Yes...But I'm not going to do that. A Foreign World has been in development for about four years. A lot has happened in my life. That's a given. But I hope none of you give a shit. You know why you're here. I know why you're here. Why are you even reading this? There's something else I've written that's a lot more entertaining than this paragraph.A Foreign World clocks in at ~220,000 words. That's the length of three books. Or, if books aren't your thing, it's about one-tenth the length of a web novel like Spare Me Great Lord... which I can't really believe. I read that novel, and it feels waaaaaay longer. But ChatGPT seems to think it's only 2.1 million words. Grok doesn't disagree, so it must be true. That's how things work nowadays, right?A Foreign World grew to be pretty long. When I want…
- Meet The Cast - 02 - 10 July 2026
Only one more week until A Foreign World will be released. Last Friday, we introduced the first half of the female cast. Today we'll cover the rest. Most people reading this are aware; A Foreign World is a harem AVN where you get to know the individual stories of 11 unique love interests. And of course, some of them have superpowers; almost all of them are from another world.From left to right, we have: Megan, Tracy, Sue, Monique, SallyMeganNobody can resist a cute foxgirl. Apparently this holds true in this story as well. Megan has become a fan favorite. Her ability (superpower) is that she can transform into a fox. That's how you get to know her at the beginning. It takes a while for her to get used to the new normal and to show herself as a human. TracyShe is strong on the outside, but she also carries a fragile heart. If it comes down to it, she will pick up her spear and defend her…
- Meet the Cast - 01 - 3 July 2026
Two weeks until the final version of A Foreign World will be released. Leading up to it, I'm going to introduce the love interests. Most people reading this are aware; A Foreign World is a harem AVN where you get to know the individual stories of 11 unique love interests. And of course, some of them have superpowers; almost all of them are from another world.This post will showcase half of the female cast. Keep your eyes open. Next week we'll introduce the rest.AuroraShe is a fierce and cautious woman who had a particularly rough life. It's going to take a while to win her heart, but it's definitely not impossible. Her ability (superpower) is among the strongest in the story. To simplify her ability... let's just say she can create and control fire, and leave it at that. LucyShe is a very reserved woman. Quite smart. Quiet. Part of her story is that she has been blinded in that other wo…

- Big Climax - 13 May 2026
Do you want me to get sentimental now, or after Episode 11?3 Years... No, I think I'll keep it for the final update. Episode 10 is the climax. It's not the end. I think there isn't much more to say. Maybe this... Don't worry too much about your choices. I added a mechanic that makes exploring this update easy and as non-frustrating as possible. Have fun. Blood, sweat, and tears went into each of the paths. A Foreign World - Episode 10Changelog: + 6,600 words of story + 238 renders + 1 animations + 0:40 hours of playtimeTotal: - 208,700 words of story - 5,633 renders - 239 animations - 15:30 hours of playtime
- Strong Start for my next Game - 13 May 2026
This week, we reached 2000 wishlists on my next Game!!!It's unlikely that you missed it, but if you did, I'm talking about ⚡Perfect Son-In-Law: Hidden S-Rank⚡A Foreign World is coming to an end, but this isn't the last you'll hear from me. I've already announced my next project: 👉 Perfect Son-In-Law: Hidden S-RankWe hit the first milestone, 1000 wishlists, fairly early on. This means the store page launch was a success in itself. Back then, I didn't want to jump to conclusions. I knew the real test for a game is whether it attracts interest organically, even when there is no major marketing event in the background. Seeing the number of wishlists climb steadily gives me a sense of ease. People are excited for this game. And I want to thank everybody who decided it's worth sticking around.

As always, Episode 9.5 adds another day to the story. This update focuses on Sally and Esther.For those who haven't heard it before. After this, there will only be two more updates to A Foreign World. But don't be sad. This won't be the last you'll hear from me.

- ⚡What's coming next?⚡ - 19 March 2026
I'm happy to announce my next game! Working on A Foreign World has been a great experience, and I appreciate everyone who bought the game. Your enthusiasm allowed me to write this story without having to cut it short due to a lack of interest.There are still three more updates to come: Episode 9.5, Episode 10, and Episode 11.Of course, that's not the last you'll hear of me. As I said, I'm happy to announce my next game:⚡Perfect Son-In-Law: Hidden S-Rank⚡She needs you to play her boyfriend. You’re more than capable of the role. Step into the shoes of a secretly overpowered awakener navigating high society, dangerous expectations, and a fake relationship that slowly turns real in this story-driven NSFW visual novel.The premise is easy to summarize. Get into a fake relationship and turn it into a real one. But of course, there is a lot more to it than that. First, and maybe most definitely…
- Episode 9 - 20 February 2026
Here it is. The release of Episode 9.I mentioned it in my last Development Update. Progress on A Foreign World is coming along quite nicely. Now that this project is coming to an end I am also working on my next game. It shouldn't bee too long before I can announce a few things. If you don't want to miss anything, then consider joining my Discord server, or simply follow me on X. I hope you’ll stay with me for what comes next.A Foreign World - Episode 9Changelog: + 9,200 words of story + 306 renders + 25 animations + 0:50 hours of playtimeTotal: - 191,900 words of story - 5,089 renders - 211 animations - 14:10 hours of playtime
- Episode 8.5 - Release - 15 January 2026
Hey guys, quick update. A Foreign World is going into its last stretch. The game is about to be finished. There will be two more updates, followed by the grand finale. I might release the epilogue separately and have the grand finale span two updates, or I might just combine everything into one big update. I’m still considering my options, but I’ll let you know once I’ve decided.Once again, Episode 8.5 adds another day. I finished it toward the end of December, and it’s finally out of beta access. I’ve heard good things from the few people who’ve played it already, so have fun.Episode 9 is already fairly far into development. Still, expect some waiting time while I build up a bit of a buffer before the grand finale. That way, you won’t have to wait an eternity for the last update.

- Episode 8 - Release - 21 December 2025
Here we go. You can think of this as an early christmas present. Hopefully you don't mind if I give it to you like this. I wasn't sure how to wrap it and put it under your tree.For those that haven't heard, I finished my degree, so from now on I have a bit more time working on games. Updates should come a bit more quickly. It's about time I finish A Foreign World, don't you think? There will be a few more updates (8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11) and then the game will be done. I'm confident that I can finish the story in 2026.I also started working on my next project in the hopes of having a store page up and running by the time the last update of A Foreign World will come out. It's going to be an AVN focused on 1-3 love interests. The story is already mapped out, but I haven't decided on a name yet. I'll announce it once things are a bit more set in stone.Let's talk about this update. As always,…
- Swedish Translation for Ep. 7.6 - 10 November 2025
The Swedish Translation is now up to date.
- Small Bugfix - 3 November 2025
When Cecilia confronts MC towards the end of the currently available story, I misspelled a variable, which resulted in a crash.
- Episode 7.6 - Achievements and More - 2 November 2025
New Achievements 🤩Instead of creating the next day, I went back and reworked some aspects of the story. Mainly things that players often complained about. There are new achievements, you can now reject Fiona, it's easier to access certain scenes, bugfixes, abilities now have categories, and most of the changed scenes are displayed right after where the last update has left off, so you don't have to replay the entire game to find out what is new.Now we come to the more lengthy explanation: 1 - I went back and adjusted the way abilities could be categorized. Besides the distinction of male and female abilities, the female abilities are now split into six categories. This is first explained in the training scene, where MC asks Tracy about how abilities work.Her,e I should explain that you don't have to start a new playthrough to see those scenes. Not everybody will, and it would be confus…
- A Foreign World - Episode 7.5 - 11 September 2025
Yikes. Didn't you make a post earlier today saying the update won't be out for another week because you are sick or something like that?Who said that? I didn't say that. Surely, I wasn't just feeling sick for an hour and then got bored, so I finished the update anyway. Surely, that's not what happened. Guys... Can we move on from that? It wasn't the best start into the morning.Anyway, I received the Chinese translation, and I did the German translation. This time around Swedish, and Spanish will come with a patch later on. I know some of you guys rely on it, but most play the English version, and I didn't want to keep this update on the shelve for another week before publishing it.Because tomorrow I'm going on vacation. And I'm telling you, publishing the update then would be out of the question. I might do some writing inspired by the sun at the mediterranean sea, but that's about it.…
- New Update - Episode 7 - 20 July 2025
I thought renpy was kidding me when it told me this update was only 6,800 words long. It certainly felt like more, and after all, the Google Doc where I wrote this update had about 8000 words. There must have been a mistake or something.Or so I thought. After the guy who translates this game into simplified Chinese also only billed me for 6,800 words, I figured it out. Yes, the Google Doc was 8000 words long, but this also included all my comments on what's supposed to be happening on screen, with no text being shown. Things like '# The four of them on top of the slide' followed by '# Top down view of MC being the fastest, then Sue, then Monique, then Tracy'.And, yes, those small prompts were approximately 1,000 words. So if you are not into reading... You probably shouldn't be here... But if you are here and you are not into reading, this update might be a bit more for you than my othe…
- Swedish Translation for Episode 6.5 - 4 April 2025
This patch fixes a couple of typos and also adds the Swedish Translation for the latest update.
- A Foreign World - Episode 6.5 - 28 March 2025
It's that time of the year. You know what I'm trying to say. 11,100 words, 374 renders, 23 animations... I thought it would be a small update, and it kind of wasn't. Get used to it because I doubt there will be smaller ones in the future. The story has taken up speed and there are more and more things to bring into every new coming day. I hope you're excited about the next update. Sneak peaks can be found on my Discord, because I did work on some environments even before this update was finished. Have fun exploring the update. This time there is a scene that's a bit harder to access than usual, but you guys will figure it out. I'm sure of it. This time, the Swedish translation of Episode 6.5 will be added with a patch at a later date. I've mentioned it a couple of times. Some of my translations are made by fans, and I won't force them to work on strict deadlines. For now, the Swedish tr…
- A Foreign World - Episode 6 - 18 December 2024
Hey everyone, It's time for another update. This time it's more than just a continuation of the story. There is that, don't get me wrong. 7,900 words, 331 images, and 11 animations. But besides that, I've added two things. First, an image gallery. This is something quite precious to me. More about this in my next New Year post. They are clumped for characters so browsing through them can be a good reminder of each individual story. The image gallery might even be better than the memory screen. You unlock each image when it is first displayed in the game. Also it's not tied to a playthrough, so you can look at them whenever you want. Second, a replay gallery. For the longest time A Foreign World didn't need a replay gallery, since there was only one spicy scene. By now there are a few more. Actually I also added some wholesome scenes to the replay gallery. Hand holding and that kind of s…
