Hi everyone, Timo here!

First of all, on behalf of the entire Full Frontal Beef team, I want to wish you all a happy, healthy, and successful 2026. Thank you for being with us as we head into a brand-new year.

Looking back, 2025 was a solid year for the studio. While I personally had to deal with an unexpected medical procedure during the year, we still managed to stay on track and keep releases coming. That is something I am genuinely proud of.

Here is a quick look at what we accomplished in 2025:

• 12 Hunk Empire updates released for all Plus members
• 11 hot and sexy comic releases for Plus Gold and Platinum members
• A major gallery update for Springs of Ardor
• Springs of Ardor released on Mac and Linux
• A Springs of Ardor Plus Bonus Pack
• Welcoming James Phillip to the FFB Marketplace as a new artist

Not a bad year at all 😏

Looking Ahead to 2026

One of my personal goals for 2026 is to communicate more openly and more often about what we are working on as a studio. This includes not only what we are making, but also how we are making it. That means more in-depth posts about the technical side of Hunk Empire and our comics.

I will be doing this through more Dev Blogs, so if there are topics you would like me to cover, feel free to let us know in the comments or on Discord. I will just have to sneak these posts past Daniel’s firewall first 😜

What Is Coming Up

We have a lot of exciting things planned for 2026, and the first big milestone is, of course, Hunk Empire’s Steam release on March 5th.

To prepare for that launch, our focus this month is on a major overhaul of the internal scheduling and store systems. This work is essential for Steam and also needs to be completed before we continue the main Hunk Empire story. Otherwise, we risk technical issues spreading across multiple arcs.

Because of this, we made the difficult decision to skip a main Hunk Empire update this month so we can fully focus on getting this overhaul done properly.

That said, you are definitely not being left empty-handed this month.

As soon as it became clear that we would be skipping one update, we shifted gears and started working on a Hunk Empire side comic. This comic will be releasing this month for all Plus members. Daniel will be sharing sneak peeks very soon, so keep an eye out for clues about who it is about 😉

One Last Tease

If all goes according to plan, 2026 will also be the year we launch a brand-new project. This one is especially close to my heart, as it is a story I have had in my head for years.

Watching it slowly come together while also having to keep my mouth shut about it is honestly killing me. But if I say anything more, Daniel might actually come at me with a knife.

So I will leave it at this. There is a lot cooking in the FFB kitchen, and I personally cannot wait for you all to see what we have been working on.

Thank you again for your support, and here is to an exciting and very full-frontal 2026 🎆🔥
