Golden Hour - release date
September 4, 2026Very Good News: We Have a Release Date!
I've got some very good news to share today.
First of all, my personal situation is slowly stabilizing, and I'm gradually getting back to regular work. This week I was finally able to spend a reasonable amount of time on development again. It's still not quite as much as I would like, but things are definitely moving in the right direction.
And despite the reduced working hours over the past couple of weeks, we've managed to reach an important milestone.
Together with YamYoda, we've completed all of the missing animations for GOLDEN HOUR.
My PCs have been running hot for many, many hours, rendering one video after another, but the job is finally done. At this point, we have all the dialogue animations, all the sex animations, and all the cumshots rendered and ready for the game.
That means we've officially reached the final stage of development.
Over the coming week, I'll be focusing almost entirely on testing. I'll play through the game, look for anything that still needs fixing or adjusting, make the final corrections, and add a few extra touches wherever I think they can improve the experience.
And this brings me to the most important news of today's update:
GOLDEN HOUR will be released next Friday, September 11th, 2026!
Yes, we finally have a date.
After all the work that went into rebuilding and enhancing the game, I'm very happy that we're now only one week away from putting the finished version into your hands. There is still some testing and polishing ahead of me, but the content itself is there and the remaining work is now about making sure everything comes together properly.
And what comes next?
We're not slowing down after GOLDEN HOUR.
YamYoda has already started verifying the enhanced images prepared for SOUTHWESTERN SEXCAPADES, our upcoming DLC. Once that verification is complete, we'll move into full-scale animation rendering.
As someone jokingly mentioned before, we have another very important deadline to beat: GTA VI on November 19th. 🙂
So that's our target. We'll do our best to have SEXCAPADES released before everyone suddenly disappears into Vice City.
And one more thing.
Last week, I refreshed the SOUTHWESTERN SEXCAPADES Steam page and added new screenshots showing the enhanced visuals. If you haven't checked the page recently, please take a look.
And, most importantly, please add the DLC to your Steam Wishlist if you haven't already. Wishlists make a real difference when it comes to Steam visibility and promotion, so every single one helps us.
For now, though, my priority is clear: testing, fixing, polishing, and preparing GOLDEN HOUR for release. Seven days to go.
Im gald your doing well and things are stabilising.
Yes.. i think any gaming in any way shape or from nov19 is gta related. Releasing anything could be a bold choice lol
With Southwest also finishing. I hope that means yam yoda can turn his attention back to yellow creek?
Yes, that’s right.
On these screens it looks that you’ve fixed most skin issues. But on the preview the girl’s right thigh looks weird. Like there’s a large hematoma
Wow that’s great to hear! Fingers crossed for no more obstacles on the way. Steam gets the update a few days later, right?
I plan to release it same day – both STEAM and lopgold.com.
Nice
Sorry if I missed it, but are there are new scenes or updates to scenes in Golden Hour, or is it purely a visual update? When I replay, I am just trying to determine how thorough I should be.
This update is focused only around visual aspects of the game – we don’t plan to add any new content this time.
We’ll do that with DLC Southwestern Sexcapades.
Glad everything is going better.
Pictures look good. Colours look good. Looking forward to it.
This is a free update on Steam as well?
Yes, exactly.
The last expansion: “Lisa temptress and Tracy’s Infidelity” During the Tracy’s infidelity path, and her suspicions scale from 1/8…During that path while we maxing the Tracy’s suspicions scale up, we have small events showing up as the scale goes up about Tracy’s talk with Justin of how she suspects that there is something between Justin and Lisa…
How the scale would gradually move up, we would have more of such events and at some point we would have the event where Justin and Tracy have strong discussion at the pool about Justin cheating with Lisa…Right in that EVENT, we have IMPORTANT NOTE in a form of narration, of how Tracy’s cheating infidelity path is planned to be expended more in the future…
So i was wondering is that included now in this upcoming release…or in the next DLC after this one…
Another thing I remember even talk about Tracy’s hometown and making something around that…
So I’m wondering about both, are these gonna be included in this DLC, or you guys planning more DLC’s after this… Personally, I’m looking forward for more of LWT/AS, DLC’s and it’s stories…
Anyway, I would appreciate if you could share something about that, and what you guys planning… Thanx.
