Dear friends, the Christmas and NY holidays are behind us, but as they say, for a real game developer, every day is a holiday (we wish it were true)! In the past month, we spent a lot of time improving the existing sprite animations and adding new ones. We hope that now our characters will look even more alive to you! We are also finishing up the work on the game's code even though the main functionality is long done, we still need to round up the less demanding tasks like the gallery, the credits, and achievements. At the same time, we have started squashing bugs, of which there are quite a few at this stage. We're not only talking about technical bugs but also stuff like character expressions incorrectly placed in the script and sounds playing at the wrong times. We are planning to start testing proper pre-release beta-versions on PC as early as February, then begin adapting the game for mobile devices. It is important to remember that the development itself isn't the only thing we need to handle. The process of the game's approval by online storefronts (Steam, Google Play, App Store), can take 1 to 2 months. So in actuality, we need to have the more-or-less final version of the game "on-hand" long before June 2nd. That's it in terms of numbers. As for the game itself and the experience it will provide, I never tire of repeating: the full picture creates a much more vibrant impression than the sum of its parts. Well then, we hope that this synergistic effect will work not only on the developers themselves but on our players as well. From our side, we'd like to give you a humble gift: everyone who has already made the preorder (as well as those who will have preordered from today until the release) will get the game's PDF artbook for free! And those who have already bought the PDF artbook will receive the digital OST! Finally, we would like to offer to your attention the evolution of the sprites for secondary characters between the demo version and now. You can see your name in the credits, receive all future DLCs, as well as the aforementioned and other bonuses by supporting us here.
