Dev Log #4 – Chapter 2 Progress




Hey everyone!
I don’t have a ton to share this time, but that’s okay — progress is still progress!
What’s new?
The text for Chapter 2 is almost done! It’s currently sitting at around 13,000 words, and all that’s left is the grammar and proofreading phase.
I’ve started coding the chapter as well. About half of it is already in the engine! What’s left is to… well, add the second part of the chapter and take care of the smaller details like sprites, CGs, and UI bits.
What about the art? Well, I’ve got a little something to show off! I recently learned how to use a couple of super basic but very helpful tool — like how to select a whole layer and work with vector layers (don’t judge me, I’m an amateur!) But it’s already speeding up my workflow a lot.
Drawing backgrounds is still a pain, though.
While working on Chapter 2, I’ve also been doing small art updates to Chapter 1. Just little tweaks and touch-ups here and there.
Release timeline
I’m still aiming for a July release, but I also want to leave myself a bit of buffer time to polish everything properly. So I can’t give a solid date just yet, but it’s coming!
Thank you so much for playing my game 💛 And if you enjoyed it, please consider leaving 5 stars if you loved it, or less if that’s how you really feel. I appreciate all feedback 😊
Stay tuned!
