My Fluffy Neighbor v.1.5.0 - Progress Report

Added 2025-08-24 07:48:01 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone! I hope you guys have had an excellent start to your weekends :)

I wanted to give you guys a proper update since I have set to give a proper 'progress report' on where we stand with v1.5.0 development! I also have a few goodies for you guys, so stick around ;)

This update is turning out to be VERY dialogue heavy, which means I've been doing a lot of writing... and re-writing... and even more writing. Seriously, the amount of dialogue I've been writing and editing is insane, but I am doing this with a goal in mind: to offer a closer connection to the characters in Oakridge.

I'm also using this update to set up small future events in updates. Nothing major, sticking with the 'slice of life' aspect, but you may hear MC learn about some future characters, village dynamics, and maybe even get in a new predicament of his own. Plus, I am having MC reconnect with characters we haven't seen in a while, so get ready to see a few familiar faces!

Since this is so writing-intensive, I've only finished about 40 CGs so far. I know that's fewer than recent updates, but I feel like this update is still going to be quite polished, interesting, and fun.

Also, currently there is no planned minigame for this update. I tried to make something work, but it felt 'forced' and didn't really fit the narrative. Hopefully you guys can still enjoy moments that come from character development and conversations rather than interactivity.

A release date will be announced soon as I continue to GRIND through this update!

However, as a little treat (and thank you) for your patience and support, here are some fun extra images of our Oakridge residents enjoying the end of summer in a new art style.

Enjoy! :)
