Hello everyone,
We are starting weekly update posts to keep you in the loop while we continue working on Gulpr behind the scenes.
Since access is not currently open, everything below reflects development progress and features we have been building and improving as we prepare for testing and future access, (Things could change and updates are never final)
What We Have Been Working On
Over the past week, we have added several new features and systems.
New Features
Social links on user profilesSupport for social links has been added to profiles, including platforms like Furaffinity, Twitter, Bluesky, and others.This will make it much easier for people to find and follow users elsewhere.
Artist credit on gallery uploadsGallery uploads now support artist credit fields, allowing proper attribution and visibility for users and artists alike.
Invisible ModeInvisible Mode allows users to browse and interact without showing online presence or activity while it is enabled.Perfect for when you just want to exist quietly.
Reporting options for banners, avatars, and gallery uploadsReporting has been expanded so problematic content can be flagged directly from these areas, helping moderation work more effectively.
Expanded kink terms and optionsMore terms and options have been added to better support a wider range of interests and self expression.
Improvements We Have Made
Alongside new features, we have focused on improving existing systems.
Gallery Manager Improvements
We have reworked how gallery image ordering works.
During testing, we found that a drag and drop style system caused issues, especially on mobile devices. Because of this, we decided against that approach.
The gallery manager now allows users to tap an image and edit it directly, including adjusting its position more reliably across devices.
This approach has proven to be more stable and easier to use.
Text Editor Improvements
The text editor has also seen improvements.
Formatting options have been expanded, and we will continue building on this over time.
Support for @username tagging has been added to bios, allowing users to reference other users directly.
This also helps prepare for possible future features such as comments.Feature Concepts
Feed System
We are currently concepting a potential new feature and wanted to get some early feedback before committing to anything.
One idea we have been exploring is a feed system, similar in structure to platforms like Bluesky. This would give users a more dynamic way to see updates, posts, and activity across Gulpr rather than everything being profile based.
This would be a large feature and a significant amount of work, so this is very much in the idea and planning stage right now.

Before going any further, we wanted to askIs this something you would actually want to see on GulprOr would you prefer the platform to stay more profile focused
Nothing is locked in here. We are simply putting feelers out and seeing how people respond before deciding whether it is worth pursuing.
If you have thoughts, opinions, or concerns, we would really like to hear them.
Alpha Testing and Access Direction
We have moved Gulpr from Beta to Alpha testing.
This is us being honest about where things are at. We are not ready for wider access yet, and we want to make sure systems are solid before opening the doors again.
What Happens Next
• We will be sharing information about inviting testers soon• The existing waitlist will be reused as a tester invite system• Access will be granted in small, manageable batches
Nothing major is happening immediately, but this is the direction we are heading.
Username Reservations
Closer to a public release, we are planning a username reservation system.
Each Prismatic supporter will receive a unique code that can be used to secure their @username ahead of time.
More details will be shared once we are closer to release.
A Note About Patreon
Patreon funding for this month is currently paused. Even though we have resumed work on Gulpr, progress has been careful and measured, and we did not feel comfortable charging while things were still settling.
We Would Love Your Input
Would you prefer that Patreon remains paused for nowOr would you be comfortable with it being unpaused while we continue sharing progress updates like this
There is no wrong answer here. We genuinely want your thoughts.
Byte Updates
We have also had a lot of questions about Byte.
For anyone unfamiliar, Byte is a Discord based RPG we have been working on, featuring trading, leveling, battles, NPCs, vore systems, and more.
Work on Byte slowed down recently while Gulpr took priority, but we are now picking away at it again gradually.
Byte Access
In the near future, if Patreon allows it, we are planning to merge tiers so that Byte access is included by default across supporter tiers such as $5/$10
A lot of users enjoy Byte, and once things settle, we would like to run it in a more permanent way rather than limited test periods.
Updates Across SloshDog
There is also a lot happening across SloshDog as a whole.
New Artists
We have brought on two new artists to help with UI design and assets, primarily focused on Gulpr.
This includes• More mascot artwork• Improved and consistent icons across the site• Unique icons for different vore types
Yes, we know it is confusing that the SloshDog mascot is also called Byte. That one is on us.
VR Assets and Animations
We have several VR assets and projects in progress, including more BellyTech (HELL YEAH!)
Alongside this, we are working with animators to bring more animations to SloshDog over time.
Artist Dashboard and Payout Improvements
We are upgrading the artist dashboard on Slosh.Dog.
This includes• Improved analytics• Better export options• Clearer sales data
Payouts are also improving. Artists will be able to see their cleared balance and request payouts directly instead of waiting on a fixed cycle.
Our goal is to reduce the time between a sale and an artist receiving their money as much as possible.
We are still working on this, so thank you for your patience.
We are incredibly proud to say that we have now paid out nearly six figures to artists on Slosh.Dog, entirely thanks to your support.
Because of this, we will be introducing SloshDog perks and discounts for Patreon supporters in the near future.
Refund Reminder
Refunds are still available, no questions asked.
If you supported us and feel unsure or uncomfortable, that is completely okay.Just reach out and we will sort it.
One Last Note
We have learned very quickly that we cannot please everyone with every update or change we make.
What we can promise is that we are genuinely trying to build Gulpr into something that as many people as possible can use, enjoy, and feel comfortable in.
We are listening.We are learning.And we are doing our best.
Thank you for your patience and support while we keep building.
