Hello again! We thought about explaining a bit more about our characters this time! You'll meet a variety of characters throughout Neverway, who can be either village residents or something else. For example, here, you might recognize Aurora! [img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45577639/4b27f383e43164238624c87797155c839e754ed9.png"][/img] Shes not wearing her usual dress - each character can have different outfits, and this is one of hers. Aurora is a scientist. She loves understanding the bizarre occurrences throughout the world around her using rock-hard facts. She can help you study new manuals or find books at her bookshop. She also reads a lot of teenage romance novels.

She has breakfast outside her house in the mornings, and you can join her by sitting next to her.

One of our foundations in Neverway is to always tie our systems together, so we try to make most of the interactions meaningful in some way. For example, by sitting next to Aurora, you can get closer to her and receive a special buff after eating the berries. Everyone will have their unique routines throughout the week: they can work at their job, eat breakfast or oversleep in the morning. They can also do things together like game nights or have picnics. Just to give an idea, we already have 150 different ones implemented in the game at this point. It turns out its a lot of work but were doing our best!

They help so much... I love debugging... As a final note, were getting ready for our first in-person event, BitSummit in Kyoto!!!! [img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45577639/d2fa0e4f7452d32096f904fe65159688222921f1.png"][/img] This will be our first time showing Neverway in public!!! Were very nervous about this. But also excited! We cant wait to see how people react and play the game! Well also use all the feedback to make sure the game is in its best shape possible before showing it to you all. Although we dont know yet when this is going to be! I can probably spoil that, since Neverway is a narrative driven game, were taking the approach of a prologue, rather than a traditional demo. However, we might have prepared a special mode that unlocks after you finish playing the prologue Thats all for now! We have even more cool things to announce soon But, for now, you can just keep an eye here for any upcoming updates. Or, even better, join our newsletter: [img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45577639/91b35219e6507b73b61326d2e63f1bebf2d0e088.png"][/img] neverwaygame.com You can let us know in the comments if theres anything you want to see covered in the next updates, and thank you for reading! Coldblood Inc.

So our original goal was to post one update here every month, but then WE GOT 200K WISHLISTS? IN TWO MONTHS???? Seriously, we couldn't be more grateful for all your support. We really love working on this game, and knowing that you're all connecting with it in some way or another means a lot to us.
Pedro did this drawing last minute. We had no idea we'd need it so soon. Anyway, I'll keep this very short, this is just our way of saying: thank you <3 Coldblood Inc.

Its Summer Game Fest time, and it turns out we got to do a lot of cool things! We shared more about our gameplay with lots of new footage at Day of the Devs, and announced that were localizing the game to Spanish (!!!) at Latin American Games Showcase.

We have even more things to announce in these next few months that we cant spoil yet, but were VERY excited!!! For now, just keep an eye on any upcoming updates here

Fiona is trying her best to survive the Summer.

Now let's jump into some content...

We previously explained how food works in the game and how you can use it to advance time. So... what else can you do to advance time?

As you may already know, time in Neverway is divided into three slots: morning, afternoon and evening.

Time does pass a little bit within a slot, but it only actually advances once you explicitly trigger an activity. This activity can be anything like eating, taking a shower, sleeping, reading a book, or dying. You probably should try not to die, though.

Whatever you choose to do impacts things like adding or removing buffs, recovering health, or new recipes that you learn.

Localization updates!

We promised that youd hear more from us on localization, and here we are: were localizing Neverway to Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Russian, and Spanish!

Since we have a limited budget and our game has a lot of words, we cant commit to more than 5 languages for now. If Neverway does well after launch (fingers crossed!!), we promise do our best to support more languages its definitely one of our priorities. We appreciate all your support and feedback!

Thats all!

Coldblood Inc.

We got over 100k wishlists in just five (5!!) days after the announcement. We are SO happy and grateful for everyones support, it's still a little hard to believe this! From everyone on the team: thank you T_T Also, just knowing that a lot of people are enjoying our weird ideas is incredibly motivating. We promise to do our best to make the best game we possibly can!
The numbers keep going up For this months update, we thought wed show you a little bit of the food in Neverway (mmmhmmm). Basically, there are two ways you can eat in the game: [olist]

Cook it into a meal and have it for dinner or lunch, which advances time [/olist] So lets look at some examples. Here, take a corn on the cob. You can eat that anytime you want.
Here's how you do it:
Now, lets say you want a proper meal, so you get yourself a delivery of instant noodles. You can sit down and have it for lunch, like this:
Well cover in the next updates how exactly you can prepare and cook your food... On another note, we want to confirm that we are looking into localizing the game to more languages! While we want to support as many as we can, we do have a limited budget, and this game has a lot of words. That said, we still have some room left, so you might hear more from us next month And thats all, until next time! Coldblood Inc.
