- Grow a Girlfriend Development Update! - 10 May 2026
Thanks for waiting! This is what we've been up to:For the last few months, we have been working hard on writing, art, music, new functionality and, finally, the playtesting. The main chunk, of course, was the writing we’ve been reworking, which was an extensive overhaul of a character's entire personality and plot development!Playtesters liked the changes!We sent the rewritten storyline to the same playtesters who tried the first version, and the feedback was very positive! Players bonded with the character and empathised with her much better, the wholesome moments are sweeter, and the tension build-up and climax is much stronger! Hearing this kind of feedback was wonderful! Delaying the release to this extent was a difficult decision to make, and it has been a stressful experience due to some of the reactions from expectant fans, however it was the best decision we could have made rega…
- Release Delay: Apologies and Explanation - 30 January 2026
Hello again GaG fans.Recently I announced that GaG would be delayed until 13 February from our initial announced release date. The reasoning behind this delay was vaguely mentioned in that original announcement, but not fully explained. This was because we thought the delay was a small one. However due to recent developments, it has become apparent that the delayed date given will also not be sufficient, and this time we owe you a proper explanation as to why it is necessary.ExplanationAround the beginning of this month, after several rounds of extensive playtesting and meetings between the dev team, we had a realisation that the characterisation, flow and writing present within certain routes were not meeting the quality we expected and did not feel cohesive to the themes that we wished to portray. After discussion, the team decided that the routes in question would have to be partiall…
- Grow a Girlfriend Release [up]Date: Friday 13th February - 16 January 2026
New release date?When I announced the release date of GaG for 2nd Feb, I felt certain nothing unpredictable would happen. Well, something did. Some unforeseen occurrences in the development process of the game have meant that we are we won’t be able to meet that date. However our delay is not a big one — only 11 days.Looking on the bright side, this suits our game perfectly as it is the scary day as well as being right next to Valentines! Horror and dating cute girls, what more could one ask for?This small delay is necessary to ensure that the game will be in its best possible state upon release, and we hope that everyone will be understanding.Other news:Regarding translations, I was hoping to do something special for translating the game, however that also experienced some delays due to the aforementioned "event", so for all of our non-English fans, please keep a close eye on an announ…
- Grow a Girlfriend Release Date - 28 November 2025
GaG is releasing on 2 February 2026!1) Holiday Season CompetitionOriginally set for "Q4 2025", we nudged release to avoid the fierce number of games coming out right now. Seeing how many games GaG would have to compete in order to have a decent amount of publicity, I realised releasing around the end-of-year holiday season was a no-go. Let's not make a rookie indie game dev move and stumble at the last hurdle.2) Translations on LaunchWe want to have multiple languages available upon release, since so much of our audience is non-English speaking, and this will give translators time to try achieve that.Grow a Girlfriend surpassed its wishlist goal!Thank you to everyone involved! We're at over 8000 wishlists now and this is a huge achievement for an indie game! It means we are more likely to have a spot on "Popular and Upcoming" the weekend before and day of our release, which is going to…

On the main menu, there is now a button that allows you to play the demo in a different language (Currently: French, Spanish, Russian and Lithuanian).These translations were only possible because of the graciousness of the volunteers! I enjoyed working with them to make the translations as good as they can be.

There is bound to be a typo, a strange sentence, or even a crash that has slipped my attention! If that happens, please email me. I am on hot-fix duty and will resolve any issues ASAP so that each game build is an improvement for the next player.I am not native in these languages, so if anything seems odd, please be like Button below and make sure no bugs roam free!
