If you cannot tell by this point I am starting to run out of ideas for the title of these things, but at this point, I am too deep into this process to stop. It’s like… I don’t regret it? Just that I need more brain. Anyways here is the last week of updates...

Sapphire Safari
The first build for Sapphire is coming together, lots of little things but the most important part is we are focusing on propping out the little playable area, this is just the main beach and a little bit of the grasslands behind it. We are leaving some space for POI interactions and other things as well. I really hope we can get a build out for this very soon, it’s frustrating not being able to get you all something nice to play with.

Elewder
The lads have been experimenting with several key features of Elewder this week, including building the foundations we need to implement weapon types aka spells into the game. Along with this, we have a new animation system in place for making the bosses keep their large size during the finisher animations. Size play anyone? We also have been toying around with creating a special system for building amazing gameplay clips and keyart for the game. This includes slowing down the system and freely moving the camera to new and exciting angles. It looks really dope!

Under Contract
Lockits, lockits, lockits… The key foundation for Under Contract is our lockit system, from a single JSON file we can show all texts, translations, positional code, pose codes, audio files, and text effects. Building it takes time and a lot of energy, but good solid progress has been made regarding that. We might even have a playable build for everyone very soon, how exciting!

Wet Nightmares
Four more issues, that is all we have left to fix before we can launch the demos for Wet Nightmares all across the internet. Just four. Working with an engine like Visual Novel Maker has been nothing but a huge pain in the bum, thanks to the talented team behind the game we can be confident in the first release!
