(October Update)

Hey Patrons!

Here's what I've added to the game over the past month!

Tutorial System

I've added a tutorial! A chibi version of our main heroine will guide you through the game and explain what you're supposed to do.

The tutorial will definitely get more improvements down the road, but this is a super important step toward making the game accessible to its very first players.

20+ New Perks & Cards

I've added over 20 new perks and around 10 new spell and tool cards, bringing a lot more variety to the gameplay!

For example, each suit now has its own unique identity and mechanics. Crowns are all about money, Leaves focus on growth, and so on.

The gameplay has also shifted a little away from Balatro and more toward Hearthstone Battlegrounds.

Another change I've made is displaying card values directly on the cards. If you look back at my previous devlogs, you'll notice there weren't any numbers next to the cards. Now that information is displayed at the bottom of each card, somewhat inspired by Hearthstone's card design.

Story, Art & Our Heroine

I've started writing the story for the visual novel! It's still pretty rough and honestly a little silly, but hey, being silly is perfectly acceptable in NSFW games, right?

I've also drawn some new artwork of our main heroine.

Although I have to admit, I've still been spending more time working on gameplay than on the heroine herself... which is probably a questionable decision for this kind of game.

Anyway, I'm planning to take some time off from my day job and dedicate a LOT of that time to animations and artwork for the visual novel!

More Animations

I've also added a handful of new animations for various actions in the game, and I'm planning to add plenty more!

So... When Can You Play?

Overall, everything is still a work in progress. I'm trying to spend as much of my free time as possible working on the game alongside my regular job.

My goal is still to make the game playable THIS YEAR.

But it's already October, for God's sake.

AM I EVEN GONNA MAKE IT?!

Seriously though, thank you all so much for your support and patience. I'm working hard to make this happen!

I'll try to get the next devlog out sooner than a month from now. Hopefully in about two weeks!

Thanks for sticking around!
