Gobbo After Dark

WEEKLY POST - August 24th 2025 - Final weekly post

Hey there everybody.

This should be my final Weekly Post.
I've just disabled the ability for people to subscribe and I've paused billing. I want to thank everyone who joined me in this journey, and especially those who stuck around.

I want to repeat what I said last week : I definitely intend to finish the first update (especially after all the work I put into it already), but it won't be with the support of people on Patreon or Itchio. It will be a thing that ...

WEEKLY POST - August 17th 2025 - NSFW BE Animation

Hey everybody!

Heads-up:

August might very well be the last month where I can afford to run this Patreon.

I will be forced to re-think many things about this project of mine. What that means is that I will shut down my Patreon, delete the social media accounts, and only keep the game on Itch (which could become free, depending on how things go).

If/When that happens, I will send out a Post-Mortem message on Itch to explain what I'm saying here.

Afterward, I wil...

WEEKLY POST - August 10th 2025 - NSFW Sprites Round 2

Hey guys!

So, first off, I'm gonna open this week's post with the admission that the QTE system I showcased last week was bugged and I did not realize it when I was making the post. "RIP Bozo" as they say.

The green safezones weren't being displayed where they actually were. Thankfully, I fixed that issue in the hours following last week's post. Like I said I would, I also replaced the l...

WEEKLY POST - August 3rd 2025 - Every time I speak with a girl is a QTE

Hey guys! Again, sorry for the wait. I'm gonna try to not make it a habit to post these weekly posts later than expected in the future!

New QTE mechanic:

So as I was making more changes to conversations, I realized what was annoying me the most was how dialogue is still not interactive enough, even with the Topic system.
There were moments where I couldn't decide how Alex would react, and the existing Choice menu was neat, but maybe not adequate enough.

So I've spent a...

WEEKLY POST - July 27th 2025 - Blank page anxiety

Hey everybody!

So first off, I want to apologize because this weekly post is uncharacteristically (I'm shocked I was able to write that word first try without a typo) late. Usually I schedule my weekly posts at 15:30 CEST, and it's now 18:45 as I'm writing this sentence.

This week has been hell with my other responsibilities, and when I was able to work on the game, I had nothing left in the gas-tank.

I'm at the part where I need to get "in the zone" to write a lot of dialog...

WEEKLY POST - July 20th 2025 - Background & Animation

Hey there everybody!

This week, I'll go fast! First, this week, I've worked on this background for the door to Alex's apartment:

As you might expect, it comes in 3 variants (day, sunset, night) and has some additional elements meant to be layered on top of it. The relevancy of those will become clear in Chapter 2, and the day/night variants will also come into play depending on how you end Chap...

WEEKLY POST - July 13th 2025 - Now in Technicolor!

Hey guys! User-Interface changes: Let's not waste time and get in the meat of this week's progress.

Hey guys!

User-Interface changes:

Let's not waste time and get in the meat of this week's progress.
During the Weekly-post for June 29th, I mentioned how I changed the textbox color for Elena from lavender to cyan (technically, it's "Peacock Blue" but you know what I mean).

As a reminder, I made this change because the color of Elena's hair and eyes is cyan and I fe...

WEEKLY POST - July 6th 2025 - Mandatory inspection

Hey guys!

Quick little side-note that I should mention. The heat spike in my city had the annoying consequence of causing an electrical black-out in half of the city. Took almost a full day to get the lights back. I was forced to go outside and touch grass.

That 'grass' thing sucks, I hated it and I'm never doing that again, thank you for asking.
Joke aside, I pretty much lost an entire day of work. That being said...

Here's what I've done this week!

• I did men...

WEEKLY POST - June 29th 2025 - Connecting pieces

Hey guys!

State of development:

Not too long ago, I mentioned how I still had to start connecting things together.
I am now getting to that phase where everything is getting there, bit by bit.

The prologue is now mostly playable, the chain of events works. I think the topics of dialogue are in a good place.

What I did this week:

• Additional Lab background variant for late-afternoon:
Since the Prologue starts late in the afternoon, I de...

WEEKLY POST - June 22nd 2025 - Civilized dialogue

Catalyst name:

Last week's poll to decide the name of the Catalyst compound landed on M.A.C.
However, I realized soon after that there actually is a brand of cosmetic called M.A.C, and I thought that was maybe a little too weird.
On top of that, while writing dialogue, reading out-loud "the M.A.C." seemed off, so I decided to make a little compromise.
The final name of the compound is "V-MAC", which stands for "Verdaptin Mutation Amplifier Catalyst", Verdaptin being another o...

Bonus Content Drop Repost - Morgane's Exhilaration

Hey there! So, in case you've missed those, I've now realized that I shouldn't be afraid of Patreon's moderation as long as the NSFW stuff I post is not free/public.

With this in mind, I'm reposting the first 4 Bonus Content Drops, which are currently kinda lost on Discord. If you haven't seen them before, well, enjoy both the version with dialogue bubbles and the textless version!

In an unexpected turn of events, at the last moment of a poll, my fellow Hobz & Gobz shifted the...

POLL - Catalyst name

Alright, so i've you've read the weekly post, you should've seen near the bottom how I mentioned that I wanna give a name to the green liquid compound that gets mixed into Alex's Bia Serum.

Currently, I call it "The Catalyst", but I would like a proper codename.

I thought I'd go with something that evokes the green color (viridis, verdi...) and the fact that it's a catalyst or otherwise ...

WEEKLY POST - June 15th 2025 - Survey result + 3 new animations

Survey results:

Hey guys! In the above video, I'm going to cover in excruciating details the results of the survey that I launched on Monday the 9th, which includes reading the relevant 'Other' comments. Here is a TL;DW with my conclusions:

• Elena's breast expansion will probably remain in the territories of the 'Pectoral Gang' and 'Status Quo Crew' during Chapter 1. In a future chapter, I will try to please the members of the 'Moderation Regiment' and the 'Big Be...

SURVEY - The big one!

Do you guys like polls? Yeah? Ok, fuck it, let's go balls to the walls!

I'm gonna send-out this survey on Patreon (whasup), Itchio and Discord to make sure it can reach as many of our community as possible. I will reach into your throat until I can grab your bowels from the inside and make you vote!

https://s.surveyplanet.com/t2uh5hb8

In this survey, I will ask you how you feel about Elena (the chara...

POLL - Update ASAP or Update when ready?

Hey there everybody.

Now, this is one of those big existential questions I need to ask to EVERYBODY, not just the free followers or the supporters in Tiers. It's a very simple question.

Update as soon as possible:

Do you think I should release the first update of Dating Elena as soon as possible (meaning that I would prioritize having a working update, with NSFW FMG sequences composed of placeholder still-images instead of animations, and I would release a second update so...

WEEKLY POST - June 8th 2025 - 1st NSFW FMG animation + backgrounds!

First order of business:

Hello everybody! First off, I want to say thanks to all the people who saw me panic over the sub-numbers last week and who managed to improve the situation just in time to make sure that I could safely continue this adventure at least another month.

It's also thanks to these cool people who even came to discuss on Discord that I remain motivated and driven.

Bonus Content Drop where?!

Next, I want to apologize to the Hobz & Gobz as I hav...

The Big Recap & Possible End

Hey there everybody. And I do mean everybody.

In the above video, I'm showing a bit of a preview of all the visual things I was able to make thanks to all of my awesome patrons who've been sticking with me on this journey so far.

Are you actually working on this?

Well... yeah.

On the visual side of things, my work so far amounts to about 6 backgrounds, most of them with day/night variations. I also remade Elena's animated sprite, followed by 3 new animated sprites fo...

POLL - What do YOU want?

Hey there you!

I'm guessing you've been on the fence about supporting the development of Dating Elena, or you've cancelled your membership.

I've been focused on making sure those in the Hobz & Gobz Tiers were getting some decent things in returns for their support by working hard on the game and making Bonus Content Drops every 2 weeks.

But look, real-talk, I want to make this work for everybody, not just the Hobz & Gobz, but saying that this Patreon isn't working as...

WEEKLY POST - May 25th 2025 - It's Morgin Time!

Hey there everybody!

Ok so this week, I have a bit of a good news / bad news situation.

The good news is that (unexpectedly) Elena's friend, the Gym girl, won the Bonus Content Drop poll. I was sure Elise Dubois would win, but out of nowhere, votes started showing up for the Gym girl, so I decided to change my plans a bit.

The bad news is that this week, I wanted to spend more work on Elena's neeked sprite, and Elise being already designed, making a drop about her would've b...

POLL - Gym girl's first name

Hey there, fellow Hobz & Gobz.
Last weekend's poll ended, so I'm currently working on the winning result, which ended-up being the new Gym girl (almost in a tie with Elise copying Alex and Johan's notes).

I did settle on her surname being Delacroix (which could be translated to "Of the cross"), indicating she comes from a christian family.

As for her first name, I have a bunch of ideas, and it would obviously be easy for me to pick one, but hey, I like to i...

POLL - Next week's Bonus Content Drop!

Alright, instead of making 2 polls, I'm gonna give you some character-specific ideas!

3 suggestions for Elena, 3 for Laura and 3 for Elise, plus the 2 un-named and un-designed girls I've mentioned for later chapters. Of course, you can assume ALL OF THEM involve some FMG.

If you have a cool idea, post it in the comments.
That way, I might add it to the list of the next poll!

WEEKLY POST - May 18th 2025 - 1.0 Overhaul START!

Hey guys!

So, no video this week, because there's no point in recording one if I have nothing that I can safely show in a Youtube video without blurring/pixellating things.

While this has been a busy week, I've been able to do some writing, but I've also started working on the new versions of Chapter 1 sprites where Elena is about to use the serum-injector.

The sprite on the left i...

Bonus Content Drop #3!

Alright, a little later than expected, but the third Bonus Content Drop is out on Discord!
Here are the first 3 safe-for-work pictures of this set! Find the rest on the Bonus-content channel on Discord with the usual textless versions.

WEEKLY POST - May 11th 2025 - Laura animated & Bonus Content Drop!

Hey everybody!

About Laura:

So this week, I can show you the animated sprite for Laura Martin. I'm happy with the results, except for a quick detail that I noticed while recording the above video (I can't believe I forgot to re-make the BioNovalis logo on her sleeve! Bad Gobbo, bad!).

It was a lot more work than expected because I reworked a lot of things since last week. Most notably, I threw away the arm variations that I had already made and made sure to have them look ...

POLL - Pectorals Gang vs Big Bewbz Squad

"Hey, I can see this poll, but I'm not subbed to this dude, what's up?!"

Yeah, I feel like this poll needs to be available to a wide range of people as it will likely have a large impact on the visuals of the game going forward and I need a solid sample of opinions.

If you've played v1.0 of my game, you might've noticed that the serum was giving Elena some serious honkers, a real set of badonkers, some big dobohonkeros!

Meanwhile, with the first Bonus Content Drop, ...

POLL - Elena's Bonus Content Theme

Hey there, fellow Hobz & Gobz!

So, as you might've seen, Elena won the previous poll. Still, for the next few days, I'd like to see with y'all what could be the theme of the Bonus Content Drop FMG sequence for next Sunday!

Let's make this as straight-forward as possible and jump to the options! Here are some ideas that I think would be fun to explore with Elena! I'll make this a multi-choice poll in case you have a hard time picking a favorite.

WEEKLY POST - May 4rth 2025 - Progressing on Laura's sprite

Hey everybody! In the video above, I'm showcasing the progress done on Laura Martin's sprite. It's not yet animated, but I'm quite happy with all the little bits and pieces I've isolated so far and I'm looking forward to see them all jump to life.

There are still a few things that I would like to do with it before hopping into the animation process:
- I might modify her jacket to make it look less like a cop's jacket and more like a private-security person's, like the one s...
