Hello, hello my beautiful raccoon friends! November has been and gone and I dont know about you, but it was a gloomy one here in Sweden. But right now the sun is shining (even if its gonna be setting by 16.00 ) and its a very special day for us!

Thats right!! Its the birthday of everyones favourite grump! Dont mind him, hes just sharpening his knife. And in the spirit of Keir, lets get to work!

Happenings\nWhen we Rotten Raccoons are wearing our publisher hat we go by the name Kaguya Project, and were super excited to announce that weve published our first game under that label!! Knight Case Files is a huge labour of love led primarily by a solo developer thats got so much effort put into it. The arts ornately retro, theres partial voice acting for the whole cast, the story and worldbuilding have been constructed with so much love; weve been honoured to be able to help bring this game to a wider audience. The games fully translated into English and weve got a bundle with them on Steam, so if you bought Obscura on Steam you can get the bundle to get a little discount on Knight Case Files, too (it wont make you buy Obscura again, dont worry about that!).

Besides that, there is of course Keirs big day! Mugis last set of images were centred around a spicy theme, and the theme this time around is a little more refined, as you mightve already caught with Cirrus birthday image. Keir doesnt get a throne (thats not his style), but hopefully the power and refinement concepts are still shining through!

Audio\nWith the ambience pass done, Cajsa has started creating some original music for a major scene in the first part of the route (its a CG moment and everything!). I wish I could share the concept playlist shes got going on or the music clips shes been working on, but Im afraid youll just have to wait and see? Listen? What I mean is that Cajsa is still working her magic.

She also shared a clip earlier this month for a track shed made and was all just putting this here as a reminder that it would be cool to use and it scared the living shit out of me. I love Cajsa so much

Writing Progress\nTobi and I have been hard at work in November! Some of the programming needed to be done in a topsy-turvy order, but the end result of that is that about half of visuals have been programmed into Francescos second chapter! The next target is to wrap up a few challenging scenes towards the end. If Chapter Two for Fran doesnt double the word count of Chapter One, its gonna get within kissing distance of it.

Heres a screenshot that doesnt reveal too much, I think! Vesper, what are you planning to do to Francescos hair???

Ive also been casting my eye over the script and have been invited to contribute some worldbuildy elements where I can! Im also starting a list of all the info broker entries that will need to be updated or added. Its been fun!

Progress on the story skeleton on my side den has been sporadic, but progress has been made! I do love writing skeletons, its really fun not taking the story seriously, then overwriting everything while taking it Very Seriously.

I am leaving the typos in there alone for posterity. When I say my skeletons are garbo, I mean it.

And thats it for November! December is a bit of a wildcard for us as a team. On the one hand, its time to enjoy the holidays! On the other hand, were going to be busy taking part in festivities in December. We hope your December is full of good food and pleasant evenings, and well be back in the new year to check in once again.\n

Love,\nThe Rotten Raccoons Team
