Thank you very much for your feedback. We will definitely take it into account for Update 0.2 :)

Thank you :)
My goal is to make everything a little more logical and, above all, more in line with the story. Of course, the initial feedback was crucial in sparking many, many, many ideas. Thank you so much for that.
Sorry I didn’t post any news yesterday, it was just unbelievably hot here, so we decided to take the day off since we couldn’t really be productive anyway.

Today I spent the whole day drawing the background of the tailor shop. Lord, it’s driving me crazy. So many details. And I’m still not done. :(

Thank you very much. We’ll definitely do our best. I’ll give you a VERY rough timeline now. I’d like to finish Update 0.2 by the end of the week. I can’t say for sure yet whether I’ll make it or not, but the end of this week or the middle of next week would be the latest I’m planning on.

Sorry for the late reply! Sadly, some bureaucratic stuff took way longer than expected this time and pushed me back by almost two whole weeks. But we’re slowly moving into the script phase now, since the sketches are basically 99% done. So yeah, progress is happening again. :)

Hey, Phil here! 👋

I know it’s been a little while since the last update, so I wanted to give you a small update on what’s currently happening behind the scenes.

Right now, we’re heavily focused on the upcoming Krom update. Besides continuing to work on the story, characters and overall atmosphere, we’re also putting a lot of attention into introducing a completely new gameplay mechanic. We don’t just want to add something for the sake of having another feature the goal is to make it feel like a natural part of Krom and give you more ways to interact with the world.

Hey hey : )
Well, things are going pretty well! We’re currently in the final stages of polishing and adjusting everything for 0.2.
The game now has quite a few new mechanics and systems in place, although some of them are still just the foundation for things we want to expand much further in future updates.
One funny thing is that what originally started as “around 18 new images” somehow turned into 621 new visual assets over the last few months. 😅 Of course, those aren’t all full event illustrations — that number also includes icons, items, effects, UI elements, smaller story shots and similar assets — but it still shows how much the scope of the update has grown.
Right now, we’re also working on making the UI much more consistent across the whole game. I still have a few final story shots to finish, some smaller adjustments to make, and then I’d like to run the final internal test this weekend.
So overall, we’re definitely in the final stretch now.

I’ll post a much more detailed overview shortly before the 0.2 release, including everything that has changed and been added.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! Your feedback is genuinely helpful.

We’ve noticed the customer sprites overlapping in the tavern minigame too. I’d like to revisit the whole minigame, but I wasn’t sure what its final form should be yet. We decided to release this version and see how it felt to players first. I’ve also noted your suggestions about the order book and a way to speed up service.

And random events during service? Absolutely :) Those are planned, though they’ll start appearing at a certain point in the game. I want the tavern and its challenges to develop gradually and feel natural.

I’m completely with you on the art style. The little character close-ups we call “story shots” were an idea we added quite late, and we liked them so much that their style will guide the characters going forward. I’ll go back and make the existing character art more consistent too. Believe me, the differences hurt my eyes the most! xD

It makes me especially happy that you enjoyed the H-scenes and story shots, and that you didn’t run into any bugs. If you spot anything later, please let us know.

Thank you again for your support and such thoughtful feedback. As a thank-you, I’d love to add a character based on your wishes in a future update <3

Well, i’m aiming for a mix of the two. I don’t want the art to lean too far into anime, the main influence should be that “European superhero comic book” look, with just a touch of anime style.
It’s been tricky to settle on one direction while trying out different things, but the team agrees on that overall look. I’m still finding my rhythm with it, and I think the style will become more consistent as I go ^^
