Hello everyone!!It’s been over a month since ENA: Dream BBQ was released, and these past weeks have been incredibly intense.Making a video game was something I never imagined I’d do in my life, but I truly enjoyed the journey and learned a lot along the way. The warm reception the game has received has made the whole team very happy, and we’re all so grateful to see how much fun you've had playing it!

I know many of you are eagerly waiting for a second episode as soon as possible and believe me, I’m looking forward to it just as much. But please, be patient with us.The second chapter of the game has actually been in development alongside the first one over the past few years, and when we’re ready to pick it up again, we’ll start by improving the things we had already worked on.

There are some important steps we need to take before we resume development, such as organizing the entire project, estimating how long it might take, calculating budgets, and so on. All of this is to ensure that we can move forward in an organized way and avoid a chaotic process.

As for Patreon: while I work on organizing everything to resume the next episode, I plan to share sketch updates here—drawings I’d like to eventually post on social media.

Thank you all for your continued support!

We are all awaiting patiently, keep up the hard work!

I'm still unsure whether or not OG ENA and BBQ ENA are the same character. Almost everyone seems to think they're a species, but I can't shake the feeling that they're the same. Like, is it just me or is ENA only perceived a species by those who don't know she's one person inhabiting multiple bodies?

Rowan

Good luck, everyone!

CORAL!!!! 🩷🩷🩷 Also playing this game and figuring out as I play is actually super fun! There were some parts that took me time to get to like getting to the orb part. Can’t wait for chapter 2! 🩷

Congratulations 🎊 on your achievements so far. Can't wait to see more 👍

I personally don't think BBQ ENA and ENA are the same being or even a hivemind/groupmind, but I wouldn't classify them as a species, either?? For one thing, if I'm wrong and they are, that raises some grim questions about what happened to Moony.

kingofdeadbatteries

GOOD LUCK YAYYYYY!!!! the little taski maiden sketch is so cute...

"It has been weeks since my beloved commander Falke has illuminated this place with her smile---" HEY PAL! My sympathy is gonna COST you for every condolence! (signalis fan spotted)

We're all super excited to see what's next to come. Take all the time you need Joel. It makes me so happy to see how loving, patient, and dedicated this community is. The ENA series has a great future ahead for itself, I only hope we get to see some stuff regarding og ENA (blue and yellow) as well. I'm just as interested in that version as I am of Dream BBQ ENA as well.

Take plenty of time Joel G, The more time the better. I wish you the best!

mstcne

Thanks for the update! Take that time you all need.

The longer of a wait, the better! Taking time to polish a game gives great results in the end. I wish for the best for you and your team! :D

I and many other people truly appreciate the work you put out there! Please do not be afraid to take your time with the next chapter))) I wish you and your team the best of luck ^^

Nima

thank you for the update!!! please take as much time as needed, wishing the best for you and your team!

MATTHEW DAVE

Taking your time is definitely the right call. ENA is such an obviously made-for-the-art thing and it's only right to not want to rush it.

Tem

Take as much time as you need!

Juan Pablo

Esfuérzate todos confiamos en ti amigo🍀🍀🍀🍀🫂🫂

Renacat

Yay!! Take your time! Love love love the game keep up the amazing work!!

Rowan

When making a wish to Theodora, one of the options is "punish the Moon" suggesting that ENA and Moony had a falling-out sometime between the show and the game.

Shadowsketching - Sketch

Understandable there's lots of details to these kinds of things. The first chapter was absolutely fantastic after all! Very appreciative of the effort being put in. I'll definitely be sticking around for this and many of the other projects in future.

Zoti

I'll be very excited for the next chapters... Will there be any localization? I don't say dubbing, by the way that's the charm of the game, but.. UI, subtitles It's something else.. I saw that some fans have already made translation mods for their respective languages, what do you think about it?

The Smiling Knight

organizing well and good, we shall wait for ena to return, in the meantime im going to enter all the holes in the purge event

Alex Vieira Alencar

take your time joel, you and the team have already showed what your capable of given the resources, there is no doubt that every step you guys take forward is needed in order to ensure everybody is happy with how things will move along.

Yildza

The first chapter was so fire and I just know the second one is gonna be even better and reveal so much more plot

The Smiling Knight

already the amount of details of stuff you can find over and over is leaving open so many interpretations that brings about so many theories and that is going to go into over load once we get the second chapter indeed xD

Ruta Seren

I have 142 hours of playtime on just my first playthrough basically & still only feel like I've only gotten like a third of the vibe of the overall game, that's a HUGE amount of art to experience (I'm sure is only a tiny portion of what your total team has spent making it, it has been an honor and a privilege to see it come this far)! I have been working on a first draft of a review but It may take until the entire next chapter comes out to properly finish! Don't release something too quick or I'll never catch up (joking of course you make your own time-table and that is very respectable & tough to manage, teamwork, budgeting, directing, designing, creating, it's all a massively expensive & potentially stressful endeavor, but there's a lot of greatness in sharing your work at your own pace! (please take lots of breaks and stay healthy). I can/will if possible wait to see what else is in store except when I have to turn away from the cool ENA fandom, life is full of running from chore to store to the bottom floor the top floor to the out the door in time for work at four, such is life. Best wishes entire community of ENA, the first ever hyper fixation / fandom I joined (IN ACTIVE ONLINE interaction on SOCIAL MEDIA outside of ARGUING or professionally working, with people over POLITICS & the economy online a huge portion of my childhood & adult-hood, so I could get people in line with me getting more gaming time through actually having the money to chill and be myself in my own country, literally). I like to share more in-depth when time & money allows, very happy to be among a prideful group of crowd funders really helping make games like this possible especially when my outbursts may actually take time away from the production of the game by the game staff.

I adore this project and I'm excited for what's to come!! Take your time :D

Josh the Writer

I'll be honest, I only played the game in the first place because I thought it'd be a fun food-prep game, but MAN I loved what I got instead! I love all the art styles and the pure goofiness of the characters. In addition, as a lore-hunter, I am fully invested in those strange...dark moments, like with the vending machine guy. I'm excited to see how your game will continue, and I hope it continues to be even more popular than it is right now! Oh btw, would you like a.... Turrón?

PunBum
