Wedgie Simulator
Wedgie Simulator is FINALLY out of Early Access!
After 3 years of development, the game has finally released! Buy it now and make some magic!
Updates from Alpha Version 9.7
Sensitivity Status Message
You can now see messages indicating your adjustment of the sensitivity when moving in director mode, or editing an actor.
Suggestive Mode
Nothing major. Just a filter against any content that is too suggestive for some despite it respecting the underwear theme of the game. For now, this only applies to TV media, but it will unlock access to some suggestive content in the playgrounds via a later update.
Known Bugs:
- Customizer preset data files have been partially botched due to this update. The fix is relatively easy but it probably requires recreating your mannequin from scratch. Before you do, using an older build of this game, load your character set, take a screenshot of your character first for reference.
Plans For The Future
We wanted to wait until we completed the mod tools before we released the game, however we discovered in the Unreal Engine EULA that we are strictly restricted to distributing the editor solely on the Epic Game Store. Sadly, it won't be available on Itch or Steam. So we hosted a vote on whether to wait until the mod tools are done (and released on EGS) or just focus on polishing the game and release it ASAP. The people voted for the latter, so here we are.
We wanted to also complete all 5 episodes of Underwear Shenanigans for the TV media, but TBH, it will take months to finish them all (at best), and it is not a very important feature for the game - in fact, it is tertiary, so we will complete them post-release along with the mod tool suite.
Aftermath
This was a very ambitious game. It honestly was not suppose to happen. We wanted to make a something simpler like a regular sandbox, but creativity and the interest in commercial potential overwhelmed us and as a consequence, we essentially (and inadvertently) made a machinima-focused sandbox game. Anyways, We hope you will enjoy this game. We have also provided a 10% discount for this launch. It will last for 14 days (2 weeks), ending on August 23rd, 2024.
Share us your tweets, streams, you name it whenever you've the chance via the Steam discussions or our social media!

You guys have made possibly one of the most confusing games to control I've ever played, the controls before weren't great but I managed to figure it out. I cannot for the life of me figure out how the prankster poser works now, none of the keys seem to do anything and the tutorial is poorly explained, listing the functions of keys rather than the corresponding key itself, looking at the controls hasn't helped.
Edit: I would like to say though a lot of the other new features are great, albeit still confusing to work with and have required a lot of tinkering to figure out, trigger events while possessing a PM is a great feature. After having messed around with the prankster poser more, I still just can't seem to figure out how to stretch the underwear normally, only rotate and scale it. Clicking and dragging doesn't do anything :(
2nd Edit: I figured it out, Default Build Translation Sensitivity was turned all the way down by default, which I guess means it wasn't working at all, I have no idea why that was the default for that setting. Going to have a lot of fun with this now.
This game is the very first of its kind. We honestly had little to no idea what we were doing when designing this game. A sandbox game with movie-focused elements was perhaps not the best path forward, and in retrospect, we probably should have went for a more adventure gameplay route.
We'll see what we can do to make the controls a little easier to master. Failing that, hopefully our next game will fare better...
After what was literal days trying to figure out how to get the prankster poser working, I did end up spending a week playing it again after having not touched it for a year or two. What's been added is great, reworking the sequencer was likely for the best lol I'd love to see more, more wedgie animations, more interactions between PMs, the ability for wedgies to persist on the model would be cool if you continue to update it. Still had a lot of fun with it regardless and will likely go back to it to flesh out some of my scenes more, wish ya'll the best of luck with whatever you work on next.
