Actala: The Hero's Shadow April 2023 Progress Report

Hello everyone, it's Chattercap! I'm the one-woman army creating "Actala: The Hero's Shadow." It's very nice to meet you!

First of all, thank you to everyone who checked out Act 1! Listening to everyone's comments never fails to put a smile on my face (the good and the bad)! If you're up for leaving more feedback, there's a Google Form linked on the starting page of Act 1. I'd really appreciate it! And double thank you to anyone who wishlisted.

So how's the progress on the game going?


  • I've updated some of the game's screenshots and promotional art! Expect to see additional updates over the next few months.
  • I've done the big revisions on Liam's route and passed it on to my editor! I am happy to announce that the total script is now over 240,000 words. (FYI - each route will be about 80,000-100,000 words long and will contain 100+ unique illustrations.)
  • I have been making major updates to the UI! The speech bubbles got a complete overhaul, and I also updated the "Fragments of the Past" screen. Furthermore, I added "light/dark" reading modes, so that you can swap between whatever you find most comfortable to read. Expect to see all this stuff implemented in a future build.
  • I programmed in a function to update your save files between different game versions. Hopefully this means that the update process will be pretty seamless!
  • I've been busy on the art for Liam's route. Currently at 60+ illustrations and counting!


Have you played Act 1?
By the way, if you wishlisted the game before Act 1 was available, and you haven't gotten around to trying it...please try it! It's over 60,000 words, around 4 hours of playtime, and about 140 unique, animated illustrations! It contains just a taste of the plot (with red herrings galore), but I hope it gives you enough of a taste to see what this project is all about!

If you want little updates on how the game is going, I'm quite active on Twitter @chattercap.

Thank you very much to anyone who is following Actala's development, and I hope you're having a great day.

Until next time!

Chattercap
