- Fourth Chapter is Now Live!!! - 16 September 2026
The fourth chapter of "The Starlit Oasis" is now live! After this, there will be one more chapter to finish the story.Based on how long it has taken me to complete the previous chapters, chapter five should be finished sometime in Q1 2027.Also, I added a new important feature! Sex scenes will now automatically loop through a series of images rather than having to advance the scene manually or backing up if you want to see the scene multiple times. If you have a save file that existed before this update, you should get a notification upon loading the save that explains this as well.Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the new content!- Posh Tentacle

The fourth chapter of "The Starlit Oasis" is now live!!!
- Date for the Next Update - 21 August 2026
The next update is basically finished aside from one small bug that may not even be a real bug (it involves granting achievements, so not that big of a deal). As for a release date, I am probably not going to be able to release the next update until September 19th. Like an idiot, I ran a random discount starting in early August, so I have to wait 30 days until I can create another discount.Since I plan to leverage my "round of visibility" (a Steam tool for marketing) with the next content patch, I want to run a sale at the same time to give the next update release the best chance for success.
- Next Update Coming Soon! - 13 August 2026
The next update of "The Starlit Oasis" should be finished in a few days. I have a handful of images to go (the scenes are finished in Daz Studio; I just need to render them), and once I add all the new content to the Ren'Py project, it will be ready to ship!Also, I'm going to mention this again when the update is released, but I have added a new feature. Originally, I just manually added multiple copies of the same image to simulate loops during the sex scenes, but as a great philosopher once said, "We're not animals, Spongebob! We have technology!" So I went back and added automatically looping sequences to every sex scene and every position.
- One Year Anniversary!!! - 20 July 2026
I'm a bit late posting this, but I just thought I should post something for "The Starlit Oasis" one-year anniversary!I started this project in January 2025 with no knowledge of Daz Studio, Ren'py, or Steamworks. Six months later, I had a respectable product that I released into early access. Now, after more than 1.5 years in development, I have a visual novel with over 1100 renders just in the currently released chapters.Thank you all for your support, and I look forward to getting the full story of "The Starlit Oasis" released! Speaking of which, I am nearly done with the renders for Part 4, so hopefully the next chapter will be out within the next month!
- It's finally over - 23 June 2026
After a month of going back and forth with Daz support, two different product creators, and even (please forgive me) 3 different AI chat bots, the error I have been experiencing with Daz Studio is finally fixed!I will be back to making new renders as soon as I can, but I just had to share this joyous news with you all! (You have no idea how much I have been struggling with this)
- Update on the Next Update! - 17 May 2026
Hey all!It's been three months since the most recent update of "The Starlit Oasis," so I thought I should post about my progress on the next chapter of content.I finished writing the script for this update quite some time ago, but unfortunately I have hit a major snag when it comes to doing renders.If you've never used Daz Studio (the software I used to make my renders), here is a brief explanation for how it handles characters. They have a system called Genesis where a base figure is used, materials are applied, and "morphs" are used to change the figure's shape. When you load a character preset into a scene (I have one for every recurring character in the game), Daz Studio checks every single morph that is in your account's library to see if they are supposed to be applied to the character. For someone like me who has hundreds of morphs on my account, this takes a long time, so I boug…
- Progress Update on Chapter 4 - 18 April 2026
Hey all!I just thought I should post a quick update on the next chapter of "The Starlit Oasis." As I anticipated, it is probably going to take me a bit longer than the normal 3-month window to finish this one, but it won't be delayed by too long.In the meantime, I've also been working on another project that will be slideshow-style video with voice acting and sound effects. I'm not sure how much I can post about non-Steam stuff in these announcements, but I will certainly be posting a link to it on my X/Twitter as well as my Patreon. Links to both pages are on the title screen for the game, but I will place them here as well:https://x.com/PoshTentaclehttps://www.patreon.com/c/PoshTentacle
- Third Update of "The Starlit Oasis" is live!!! - 17 February 2026
By far the largest update yet! The number of overall renders increased approximately 2.5x
- Third Chapter of The Starlit Oasis is Live!!! - 17 February 2026
Hello!The day is finally here; the third chapter of “The Starlit Oasis” has arrived! This one is by far the longest update yet. It increased the total render count of the game by 50%! I can’t wait to hear what you guys think when you get your hands on it.So in my last announcement, I mentioned that this update was probably going to take longer than 3 months to complete. Despite the most recent release being on November 17, I was already working on this chapter at the end of October. So realistically, it took me about 4 months to finish. Unfortunately, this also means that it ate up that 1-month time cushion I built in for myself, so the next update is likely to actually take longer than three months, haha!Speaking of the next update, I am toying the idea of extending the story to a sixth chapter depending on how things go with chapter five. Honestly, what I’ll probably do is finish the…
- Progress Report for the Next Update!!! - 17 January 2026
Hey all!It’s been two months since the release of the first update for the “The Starlit Oasis,” and I thought I would post a quick progress update. To help explain that, here’s a brief summary of my workflow: first I write an outline for the new chapter, then I create a shopping list from that outline to make sure that I have all of the 3d assets necessary. If I am missing anything, I search online for the components that I need, and if I can’t get them, I edit the outline accordingly. Once I am able to get all the parts, I convert the outline to a script (I format mine like a screenplay). From there, the most time-consuming part begins as I slowly convert that script into all of the 3d renders. Once the renders are done, I use Ren’Py to add the renders to the game along with the dialogue. Once that is finished, I do a bit of proofreading, both for text issues and image errors. Once tha…
- First Update is Live!! - 19 November 2025
Update 0.2 is live! I hope you enjoy the new content
- First update is live! - 19 November 2025
The first update to "The Starlit Oasis" is live! Enjoy!
- Noobie developer woopsie! - 18 November 2025
There is a bit of a hiccup in the update because of a particular Steam policy that I was not aware of.Don't worry; the game itself is still ready. I just have some bureaucratic red tape to take care of before launch. This won't happen with future patches. It's just one of those things I am still learning about the developer side of Steam as a whole.The issue shouldn't take more than a couple days to resolve, and then the update will be released. Thanks for your patience!
- Some Changes as Well as info on the Next Update! - 10 October 2025
Hello! This announcement has four main parts, so I’ll try to be clear and concise. First of all, thank you to everyone who has purchased the game, especially those who did so during the Autumn Sale! I’m glad word about the game is reaching more people! Secondly, for the next update, it will be getting pushed back slightly. This isn’t due to a technical issue. It’s because Steam has a policy of only allowing developers to discount their product every 30 days. Based on that information as well as some other upcoming discounts on Steam as a whole, I am pushing the release date for version 0.2 back to November 18, 2025. I picked this date because I believe it will give the game the best chance for its new update to succeed, and I hope you’ll understand the decision to delay things a bit. Thirdly, I have some news about the scope of the project. Originally, the plan was to have the story wra…
- Update on the Update! - 3 September 2025
Hey all! We are at the halfway point for the intended time for the release of the newest content for "The Starlit Oasis." I just wanted to let you know that things are coming along well, and the update should be available on October 16th barring any unforeseen complications.
- Starlit Oasis has hit 100 sales!!! - 22 July 2025
I've dreamed about publishing my own adult visual novel for years, and when I uploaded "The Starlit Oasis" to Steam, I wasn't sure what kind of reception it was going to get. But 100 sales in less than a week makes me so happy and proud that I can scarcely believe it! Thank you for your support, and I will continue working on this game to make it the best it can be
