Dev log — What we are cooking next

Updates currently in development / pre-production.

Just a short post to let you know what's currently in the oven and what to expect in coming months. Adjusted roadmap coming shortly.

Major Update:

• Overhaul Update, Part 1. Replacing every existing background image with the new artwork, updating all background character sprites, implementing first bits of character schedules, updating exploration UI. Already in production, but the exact release date is yet to be decided, depends on how many things these changes will break.

Content Updates:

• Zahera, Part 2 (already in production)

• Sonya, Part 3

• Kamilah, Part 2

• Seraphina, Part 2

• Hanako, Part 2

Character reworks:

• Reina. We are implementing feedback received during recent public discussions and preparing the foundation for future major rework of old content (updating artwork, expanding stories).

• Yun. Changes to account for updated study subject storylines, also minor changes to her intro and the way the relationship initially develops between Yun and MC.

Prologue changes:

• Replacing existing prologue with temporary placeholder/tutorial sequence.

• Preparing the extensive overhaul for the first hour of the game, which would feature a story-driven sequence that covers all of the changes and new additions implemented as part of Overhaul updates. Coming later as part of the Overhaul update series.

Study subjects:

• Reworking questlines for each study subject to account for introduction of many new characters. Coming later as part of the separate update series.

A few more things currently on the table, mostly concerning main storyline and upcoming gameplay changes/improvements, but we will discuss them in a separate post to make sure each new addition gets the attention it deserves and offers a chance to voice your opinion regarding the topic.
