Hello, everyone! HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!! 🏳️‍🌈

I'm here with the last devlog before the new DEMO release!!

SPRITES & EXPRESSIONS

Great news: the sprites for all the characters have been finished!! 🥳🎉

Carl was the only one left and, boy, was the wait worth it 'cause he came out wonderful:

There's a possibility of yet another character sprite being added to the game, in the future. But that character doesn't appear in the demo so I didn't see the point of commissioning the sprite for them right now. 

Anywho; want the video version of this screenshot where you can also hear Carl's voice? Go HERE!

BACKGROUNDS

Hadara is working on 3 new backgrounds (Arthur's living room, Arthur's kitchen and Cub of Coffee seen from outside)! They're currently in the lineart stage, so all that's left is the coloring and shading parts.

There are 2 more backgrounds that would be missing for the demo in order for it to have all completely original pieces, but I doubt there'll be enough time before Otome Jam 2025 ends so they'll have to be added in a later update.

Anywho, here's a sneak peek of the kitchen; it has some easter eggs from my other games!

CODING & WRITING

The writing of chapter 1 has been successfully completed and all the sprites have been coded into chapter 0. These next few weeks I'll concentrate on coding chapter 1 while I wait for the remaining art to be finished.

I'm so excited for the new demo to be released this month!!  🥰 It will be significantly longer than the old one; this upcoming demo is around 14k+ words!!

CGs

Now that the sprites have been finished, Mustache will continue with some of the CGs! Since, of course, it won't be possible to add all of the CGs that were initially planned for this demo, only 4 will (hopefully) be added in this update. The remaining CGs will be included together with the 2 remaining backgrounds in a future update.

ANIMATIONS

I'm very happy to say that the flame animations have been completed and implemented into the game!

You can see them HERE!

This devlog was a bit shorter than the other one, sorry. I just don't have much else to add other than "look, this is finished!" and "look, this is a WIP!" 😂

Hopefully the release of the new demo being this month will compensate for the short devlog. 

Thank you very much for reading until the end, and see you next update!
