Devlog (Oct 15, 2025)
Going against what I said in the last devlog, I don't think the game is close to "done"; I decided to stop thinking about the steam version/android version/localization/etc. and focus on adding content.I wrote drafts for ~15 more scenes.I programmed an abstraction for evening activities (e.g. Spend time w/ Nanako and Bell in the pub) which can trigger conversations (e.g. backstories, slice of life scenes). My goal is to make it so you...
Devlog (Sep 30, 2025)
Hi, here's what I did since the last devlog.A handful of people have offered to translate the game. In general I tell them to wait, but I decided to look into what it would take. It looks like I have to (1) make the grammar system (which is used to generate text like "Viola slashes the spider") more flexible (e.g. in Russian, there is a noun form for object nouns) and (2) move the text from code to json. And it looks like it's goo...
Devlog (Sep 8, 2025)

(The fire dungeon and forest dungeon get unlocked after bringing shards to Seri.)I decided to do this to:Start Seri's route earlierEncourage going back and forth between the town and dungeonMake it so you don't have to do the easier levels over and over again (as much)I released these changes as version 0.13 on #patron-releases.For futu...

Devlog (Feb 27, 2025)
