v0.20.400
See More
New features:
- Two New Animations for Bates!
- These animations (previewed last update) become available upon reaching Phase Four or Five of the battle with Bates. When Bates is knocked down and Joe initiates sex in either of these phases, you’ll see a new animation. There is one animation when Bates is 0-99% lust, and another animation when Bates is 100% lust (magenta tint).
- If you’ve already beat Bates in a previous version, you’ll need to beat him again to unlock these animations.
- Full Gallery Unlock Cheat Code!
- Read the instructions here: https://wiki.ohsohero.com/gallery#cheat_code
- This is a quick implementation and is subject to change in future builds.
Improvements & bug fixes:
- Possible fix for Bates flying off screen and never returning. More Bates fixes are planned for next month’s build.
- The title screen main menu cursor now has wrapping enabled, so you can press Up to go to Quit.
- And even more fixes that are too trivial to list!
Known issues:
- Some systems with lesser amounts of RAM (especially Windows 32-bit) may crash if viewing Bates in the Gallery with high-quality animations enabled because the computer runs out of memory. This is something we hope to address in a future update.
- All Known Issues
Ket’s Update:
Hi everyone! June was a slow month for me since I was traveling for a couple weeks, but it’s my last trip of 2024 until our presence at ACFI (more news on that later!). While I was out, I met with a friend to create sound effects for Bates, and I learned some audio plug-ins to make more sounds on my own. I then got back into the programming to implement Red’s new animations for Bates and add a full gallery unlock cheat code, which is especially useful for those playing on Android!
I’m ready to get firmly into work-mode, so starting with this post, I’m going to list my recently completed tasks and upcoming priorities. I will update these lists in subsequent posts as a way for you to track my progress across the months.
Recently Completed:
- Implement new Bates Animations
- Implement Gallery Cheat Code
- Identify Sound Effects needed for Bates
- Gather/Create Audio Samples
Upcoming Priorities:
- Sound Design: Synthesize/Edit Sound Effects
- Audio Code Update
- Audio Implementation
- Bates AI & Battle Revisions
- Android Touch Control Improvements
That’s all for now. We’ll discuss post-Bates content next month. Thanks and see you then~ =}
Red’s Update:
Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing well. It was a bit difficult to work early in June due to tooth extractions but I’m back on the ball. I’m wrapping up all the cutscene stuff in the next two weeks in this order:
- Bates Intro Story Animation 90% completed
- Bates Victory Story Animation 60% completed
- Bates Game Over Animation 60% completed
v0.20.300
See More
New features:
- Bates has a new Dive Grab move with its own sex animation. This may be new to you!
- The sex animation was previously accessible only through the Gallery after defeating Bates.
- This move is introduced in Phase 3 and is upgraded in subsequent phases.
- Bates’s Sun Flame desperation attack has been updated with a new part added to the end of it!
- The desperation attack is used once at the beginning of Phase 5.
- Bates’s Smash attack (blue flames) has been updated with a revised hitbox and a new Phase 5 upgrade.
Improvements & bug fixes:
- Fixed Bates’s dashing for Flare Beam (fireball attack), Sexy Taunt, and 3 of the Grabs.
- Made Bates’s animation speeds more consistent (may be slightly slower than before).
- Updated Bates’s Flare Beam fireball VFX animation (still a work-in-progress).
- Reduced Joe’s Crescent Moon cooldown.
- Added Joe’s Crescent Moon to the Skills Screen.
- Adjusted Joe’s Pose Sexy VFX to more closely match the hitbox.
- Only the VFX have been altered. The hitbox remains unchanged.
- Fixed double shadows (extra light source) in Lood City Park.
- Added cursor control to the Title Screen Main Menu.
- This can be useful if the controls have been bungled and you need to use the mouse, for instance.
- Fixed “Select Monitor” Option.
- This is used if you have multiple displays connected to select the display on which to play.
- This option stopped working at some point in the past; possibly during a Unity upgrade. It should be fine now (with some caveats listed in the option description).
- Replaced “Full Screen” Option with “Full Screen Mode” Option.
- Rather than simply “Full Screen: On or Off” we now provide all Unity-supported full screen mode options, including borderless window and exclusive full screen.
- And even more fixes that are too trivial to list!
Known issues:
- Windows builds are currently built with Mono because IL2CPP mysteriously broke for like the tenth time during development (IDK why this keeps happening but I blame Microsoft and Unity). We will try to fix this if/when possible.
- All Known Issues
Other notes:
- The area known as Lood City has been renamed to “Lood City – W Ave” (West Avenue). This change has been made in preparation for the expansion of the city further east beyond Lood City Park (where you fight Bates).
v0.20.200
See More
New features:
- New NPC: Dyabal!
- Find this demon frog (auranura) in Dyabal’s Cabin!
- New Environment: Dyabal’s Cabin
- This is a small area added to the far right side of the Forbidden Bayou.
- New attack for Bates: Fire Pellets
- This spawns patterns of flaming bullets. Bates starts using this in Phase 3, and adds new patterns in Phases 4 and 5.

Known issues:
- There are some bugs in the Bates battle (Fire Pellets included) as it’s still in beta.
- All Known Issues
Ket’s Update:
Hello, everyone! We got a new build for you with a couple new features.
Bates has a new move, Fire Pellets, which spawns patterns of flaming bullets. Bates starts using this in Phase 3, and adds new patterns in Phases 4 and 5. It’s a bit buggy in this build, but I should have the jank ironed out next time, and I’ll try to improve the performance as well. By the way, one of these patterns tests your ability to hang in the air longer by using one of Joe’s abilities. Which move do you think it is?
Bates still has more work to be done. We have one last move to add to Bates (Dive Grab), and even more animations. That will come later.
This build introduces a new NPC, Dyabal, and a new environment for him. Take a look!
This build also has its music updated to the mastered soundtrack. Check your music volume levels!
As stated before, we’ll be doing a major sound effects update, which I hope to complete in the coming months. In a future version, I would also like to add an in-game music player to the Gallery.
In case you missed our recent posts, the newly mastered original soundtrack is available on Bandcamp, and Oh So Hero! merch is available on OhSoHeroStore.com (currently shipping within the US; we’re trying to figure out international shipping). For the store and the Bandcamp soundtrack, we are giving away discount codes to top tier patrons. We’re also providing longtime donors with a thank you sticker pack. If you fit one of these descriptions and haven’t gotten a message from us about this stuff, please contact us!
That’s all for now. Happy Easter and see you next month! =}
Red’s Update:
Hey guys. Hope you’re all doing well. I’m a bit behind due to being sick for a week and a half (fun times). I’d like to give an ETA on the cutscene stuff, but as I’ve come to realize, I’m pretty bad at estimating these animation completion times. I will be sharing more stuff a couple of weeks from now, and by then I should have a much better idea of how much longer Bates cutscenes will take. I’ll see you guys soon assuming i don’t overdose on caffeine~
v0.20.002
See More
New features:
- New Boss: Bates!
- You can find and fight Bates in Lood City Park (see further below).
- This is a beta version of Bates. We have most of his moves and sex animations implemented, and you can battle him in a form close to what we have intended. Bates operates a bit differently from normal enemies. For example, when he reaches 100% lust, he is not swooned, but has a defense debuff applied.
- After you beat Bates, go right to read a sign with a special message, and then check the Gallery for all Bates animations unlocked, including a bonus animation! (We couldn’t get it in the battle just yet, but you can see it in the Gallery.)
- We have more in the works for Bates including new and improved attacks, additional sex animations, and a post-defeat cutscene with dialogue. These updates will roll out over the coming months, and we hope you enjoy them!
- New Environment: Lood City Park!
- You can get here through a new door on the far right side of Lood City.
- This is a small linear area where you fight Bates! The design is subject to change in upcoming updates. We also added a Life Spring Aura to fill your HP and SP!
- New Music: “BATES Prelude to Battle”, “BATES Boss Battle”, “BATES Boss Battle (Final Mix)”
- Hear these in Lood City Park and in the battle with Bates!
- These three tracks were composed by Cilantro, with additional arrangement on the Boss Battle tracks by Ket Ralus, and guitar on Final Mix by Ugly Prick!
Improvements & bug fixes:
- Increased default volume for sound effects and lewd sound effects. You may want to reset your audio settings to 100% for proper balance.
- Updated the disclaimer at the start of the game, adding a photosensitivity/epilepsy warning. We try to avoid rapidly flashing lights, but please take precautions.
- Fixed damage numbers to display proper values when stats are modified.
- Sex rhythm meter now has a variable target (min of 15% and max of 75%).
- Sex rhythm meter and power struggle meter have been moved to the bottom of the screen (gameplay HUD).
- Sex rhythm meter’s button prompt will hide quickly.
- Joe’s Crescent Moon special ability will now give him iframes (invulnerability) for the full duration of this move.
- Joe’s Slide and Butt Stomp abilities now have increased recovery time at the end of the moves, and Slide’s distance/speed has been modified.
- And even more fixes that are too trivial to list!
Known issues:
- Bates is incomplete and has several known issues. These will be rectified in the following updates as we complete our work. Here are the main issues:
- Bates’s attacks have little to no sound effects. What’s there is a placeholder.
- Some of Bates’s attacks are incomplete, and some other moves are absent.
- Joe is able to have sex with Bates while he is downed and invulnerable between phases, though this should not be possible.
- Bates may sometimes move bizarrely or go off screen.
- There are no Bates Game Over animations.
- Defeating Bates abruptly cuts back to normal gameplay with no post-defeat content (aside from the placeholder sign off to the right).
- The Lood City Park environment needs performance optimizations.
- Joe’s Crescent Moon cooldown is irregular.
- All Known Issues
Ket’s Update:
I’m happy to finally have a version of Bates available to share with you all! I still have more work cut out for me, including bug fixes and creating a bunch of new SFX (I started this a while back but had to refocus on Android).
Speaking of Android, I will be making fixes to that and more in upcoming updates!
Aside from working on Bates, we were able to address a few overdue issues with the core gameplay, such as the variable target on the sex rhythm meter, which makes successive successes both more rewarding and more challenging!
There’s probably more I can say that I’m forgetting now, but I’ll make sure to circle back and address everything mentioned previously. Thank you all for your support! =}
Red’s Update:
Hey everyone. Hope you are all doing well. Bates current state isn’t final but I hope you guys can enjoy this preview. A bit of the work is not implemented yet such as dialogue, cutscenes, sound work and some missing visual effects. This will require us a couple more months to complete, but it should (mostly) be smooth sailing. I will be posting some previews on the 10th. I’m still tying a couple of loose ends here and there on the battle sprites but I think we’re in a good position for the other stuff too.
Sorry I’m taking so darn long with all this. See you guys on the 10th.

v0.14.900
See More
There are no new animations this month since we’re working hard to put the final touches on the next public demo of Oh So Hero: Pre Edition II. However, we have several previews for you in our most recent update post.
Changes made since last release (v0.14.800)…
New features:
- Teleporters have arrived! You will need to visit a teleporter location to activate it. This will allow you to fast travel there from any other teleporter. You can find teleporters near the starting locations of Sheo Islands Beach, Southeast Beach, Brask’s Palace, and Lood City! The visual design of the teleporters will change in upcoming versions, but we hope you enjoy the convenience now~
- Drinks are in stock at the Grand Pour Bar & Grill at Smol Beach. You can use your Zenni to refill your HP/SP and optionally get a timed Buffto boost your lust resistance. In future updates we’ll be providing more in-game information about the items you can buy and the stat increases they provide, but here’s the rundown for now:
- Spring Water costs 5 Zenni and fully restores all HP/SP.
- Fruit Soda costs 10 Zenni and fully restores all HP/SP, plus provides the “Stamina Up Level 1” buff for 5 minutes, which gives Stamina +12 (less LP increase from enemy lust attacks) & Lubricity +16 (easier to break out of enemy grab power struggles).
Gameplay changes:
- All sex and fap animations have been slowed down to 85% speed. We feel this is a more natural pace that is closer to Red’s original vision. Please take a look and let us know what you think!
- All other animations, including movement and attacks remain unchanged.
Improvements & bug fixes:
- Joe’s slide attack will continue until he has clearance to stand up.
- The slide ability also has new sound effects that will be further revised in a future update.
- Pause screen and other UI elements have been updated slightly.
- And even more fixes that are too trivial to list!
Winner of last poll:
Horse and Polar Bear non-interactable NPCs will be coming to the beach area in the future!
Horse and Polar Bear non-interactable NPCs will be coming to the beach area in the future!
Update from Red:
Hey guys! In case you’re wondering, the background NPCs that won in the last couple of polls will be included in the next build as well as the first screen of Lood City. Thank you for your patience!
Cheers, Ribbit~

- It is sometimes out of sync with rooms/camera. A rewrite is coming later.
- Better title screen fade-in
- NPC dialogue menu fixes
- And even more fixes that are too trivial to list!
Android build progress:
- Oh So Hero on Android is looking like a real possibility! We’ve produced an APK (Android build) that is running on a Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
- However, this is currently unplayable because of two key reasons we still need to plan for and address:
- No input methods. The game currently only supports physical keyboard or gamepad. We need to allow control via the touchscreen, and this involves design consideration as well as development. There’s a lot of work to be done here.
- No copied asset bundles. The files holding the animations are not automatically packed into the APK, and thus the build can’t progress past the title screen. We’ll need time to research and develop the simplest means of getting asset bundles on the phone, and with the best possible performance.
- Beyond that, there may be other issues we’ve not been able to see yet. Since we have other priorities right now, including the upcoming release of Pre Edition II, this may not be completed until 2021. However, we’ll keep you updated whenever we have new progress to share!
Winner of last poll:
A Hyena NPC will be coming to a Lood City music store in the future!
Update from Red:
Hey guys! Here’s a little preview for birb and his assistant boar! Things have been rather slow on the level building side but we’re doing our best to start importing the city assets into the game sooner rather than later!
v0.14.600
See More
New features:
- 2 New Game Over Animations: Southeast Beach & Brask’s Jungle.
Gameplay changes:
- Joe’s regular attack and combo will only work when Joe is on the ground. We will be adding proper aerial attacks later.
- After an enemy’s KO status (yellow stars) expires, they’re considered “defeated”. But instead of flickering and disappearing, enemies will now remain on screen when defeated. Future development will have their sprites reflect means of defeat (i.e. soaked in cum).
- Various stats such as HP, damage, LP, arousal, etc. have been adjusted on Joe and all enemies for better difficulty balance.
- Example 1: Goliath lick attack takes longer to wind up and deals less LP arousal.
- Example 2: Joe’s slide attack deals far less damage, but still breaks boxes.
- A “Loading Screen Confirmation” option has been added to the Options screen. This controls whether you need to press Confirm after a new area has loaded. The default is “On”, which is good if you wanna watch the randomized loading animation. Turn it “Off” to return to the old-style loading (auto-confirm); good for speedrunners~
- NOTE: First time loading the game will always require confirmation, just as it did before.
Improvements & bug fixes:
- Further AI revisions on Stier and other enemies.
- Small improvements to Stier sex animation playback & SFX.
- Revised dialogue for Ket in Sheo Islands Beach (multiple locations).
- Daku lust attack now momentarily hitstuns Joe, as was originally intended.
- The first Goliath in Brask’s Jungle is now facing/attacking in the proper direction.
- Hide mouse cursor while playing the game. Mouse is not utilized in-game currently.
- Progress has been made on other reported bugs and crashes, but more work is to be done.
- Updated credits and reordered people based on total patronage.
- And even more fixes that are too trivial to list!

- New music from Tweaker in the new test area that will become Lood City.
- On Windows, the game now comes in an installer setup exe instead of a zip file.
Improvements & bug fixes:

- Fit camera to Goliath sex animations so it doesn’t get cut off by UI.
- Randomize enemy sex animation when Joe is at 0 HP.

v0.14.202
See More
New features:
- Due to the unfortunate illness of our artist, Red, there are no new animations in this build. This is primarily a bug fix build.
- We have however laid the foundation for new items to be added to the game. These are simply a couple basic ones that have been introduced/backfilled to get the ball rolling:
- Gold Coins can be found in crates. They give you Zenni, a currency that will be used in the game later in development. They can be collected, but they currently serve no purpose.
- Sensual Body Paint is a stat boost item that will increase the arousal (lust) done to enemies when using Joe’s sexy pose. It can be found in Treewish Forest near the second “sexy switch” device.
Improvements & bug fixes:
- enable Joe’ slide hitbox/hurtbox sooner
- enemy AI will only use grab moves if Joe is swooned
- fix some enemy AI issues and enemy attack hitboxes
- prevent game crash if loading corrupt save file
- save stats to save file; max HP on load
- fix softlock at 0 HP if pressing X while in climax state
- fix respawning after falling in water
- no damage during forest sexy switch animation
- fix all control prompts to use active input method
