August 2025 Update: Monstrous Liberation Update 1 Has Dropped!
Happy August, everyone! This month’s update is going out a few days early due to the update launch, which I’m very excited about. Let’s get into it!
Monstrous Liberation Work
By the time this update goes out, the first major content update for Monstrous Liberation should be available on Steam and Itch! This update is BIG - the amount of content in here has essentially doubled, making now a great time to pick it up if you haven’t already!
Here’s the full changelog:
Players can now explore the Garrison District of Civitas Imperito
New Character: Regla Shatterskull, indomitable orc warmistress
New Character: Shrill, passionate harpy watch officer
New Character: Willowswitch, elven blacksmith with a big secret
50,000 words added to script, bringing total wordcount above 110,000
6 new full-length sex scenes to enjoy
Even more mini-scenes at the Hideout starring the new arrivals to the cast
All fantasy world backgrounds are now hand-drawn
Gallery has been updated. Players can now choose between watching full scenes or only viewing that scene’s art
Over a dozen new music tracks
Various small text & art fixes
I hope you enjoy this update - it was a ton of work getting everything together on time, but I think you’ll be very pleased by all the new content. If you DO wind up enjoying yourself, please leave us a positive review if you haven’t already - it really helps us out!
Regarding The Itch Deindexing Situation
In case you hadn’t heard, all adult content on Itch has been deindexed following pressure from their payment processors, meaning that although the store pages for said content are still up, they do not appear in the platform’s search or tags. Some titles have also been banned outright - primarily those that feature incest, non-consensual sex acts, or sexualized gore. So far none of BP Games’ projects have been banned, but the pages for Monstrous Liberation, Opportunity: A Sugar Baby Story, Tits Detective, and all three issues of the Adult Analysis Anthology are deindexed.
For the record I’m not in any way mad at Itch for this decision. The platform’s staff stuck their neck out in a real way to support adult content that most other storefronts wouldn’t touch for years, and even now they’re exploring other payment solutions in order to be able to support the widest breadth of content possible. The responsibility for this lies solely at the feet of their conservative payment processors, who used pressure from an Australian far-right hate group as an excuse to tighten the Puritan thumbscrews. If you’d like to help fight back against the smothering of free speech, for the past two weeks there’s been a mass calling/mailing campaign to pressure Mastercard, Visa, Paypal, and Stripe into changing their vague, regressive policies, and it’s been showing some real progress! For more information, including up-to-date information about what numbers to call, scripts and tactics to use, and all relevant news items, you can check out this site and also this site!
Itch WAS able to reindex adult content that doesn’t accept payments, so I went through and touched up our three free demos. Better than nothing!
From The Blog
A slower month on the blog - I had been intending to publish my full Subverse review (combining the full text of my first review from AAA2 and my updated review from AAA3), but given the present state of things, publishing literally ten thousand mostly-mean words about a popular porn game just didn’t seem like the play. Thus, the AAA web versions are going to be a little bit out-of-order. Here’s what DID go up this month:
“Clicking Away While Imagining How Things Would Feel” - A Survey Of Gender Feelings In Porn Games - Faye’s essay from the third issue of AAA!
The Meet ‘N’ Fuck Saga - Liz Aflos’s essay from the third issue of AAA!
The Tension Between “Artistic” Adult Games & Pornography, And How A Distinction Cannot Exist Under Capitalism - Stanley Baxton’s essay from the third issue of AAA!
Patreon/SubStar Reminder
Just throwing a quick plus in here at the end for the BP Games pages on Patreon and Subscribestar! If you value the work we do and want to get sneak peeks at NSFW art from upcoming updates, access to exclusive art from Pacha, the ability to vote on new exclusive art, and your name in the Monstrous Liberation credits, subscribing to either page will get you set up! Especially appreciated in an environment where big money is attempting to strangle small-time porn creators!
The Consumption Stumption
I’ll level with you: with how apocalyptically busy I’ve been trying to finish everything with the update before launch, I honestly haven’t had that much TIME to enjoy much in the way of new media. I’ve… been watching through my giant Columbo box set? That little guy sure can solve a mystery! I also re-read Haruko Ichikawa’s Land of the Lustrous recently - very funny series in how it starts with a kind of “for fans of Steven Universe!” vibe and ends with much more of a “for fans of Those Who Walk Away From Omelas!” vibe. Oh, the new season of My Dress-Up Darling has been airing, that’s been pretty great. They’re really leaving it all on the court budget-wise with the animation, and they even got Capsule for the end credits music! That’s nice.
Wrapping Up
As you might be able to tell, between the massive amount of work I had to do to get the MonLib update ready for launch and All That Other Stuff, I’m pretty fried after the last month. Both Pacha and I will be taking a couple of weeks off to recharge after the launch, so next month’s update will likely be a little light on concrete progress. Don’t forget to check out the new update on Steam and Itch, and thank you so much for following BP Games and enjoying the things we create!
