Weekly Update (Patreon)

Hello everyone! It has been an incredibly productive week for the game’s development. I’ve been heads-down in both the creative and technical side of things to ensure the next update is as high-quality as possible. Here is the breakdown of what I’ve finished over the last seven days:

Completed this week:

Mouse Girl Scene: Completed all animations and writing (11 Animations, 6 unique)

Fawn Scene: Completed (most) animations and writing. (10 Animation, 7 unique)(ongoing)

Orc Camp Group Scene: Finalized all images and writing for this encounter. (14 Images)

New Enemies: Created 20+ new monsters to populate the world.

World Building: Designed 20+ new locations Images

Polish: Refined a handful of images for future scenes and character designs, including those requested in the last Patreon Poll.

Technical Improvements:

Combat Efficiency Overhaul: I’ve greatly optimized the combat code. This is a huge win—it speeds up my development time, allows me to implement more complex enemy mechanics, and significantly decreases the chance of bugs popping up during fights.

A Note on Development Pace

I’ve noticed that individual scenes are taking a bit longer to complete than they used to. I want to clarify that this isn't because I'm working slower—it's because the scope of each scene has grown.

Most new scenes now feature at least 7–8 images (chapter 1 had many 1-3 image scenes), along with multiple branching choices and dialogue options to give you more agency. Because of this increased depth, I’m not certain I’ll hit the original goal of 10 full scenes by May. My plan is to release the absolute best version of what I have by then. Even if it’s not the full 10-scene count, the total amount of animation and imagery will be much higher than the previous averages. I’m aiming to make the May update as substantial as possible!
