Weekly Update | September 21st, 2025

Brothers and Sisters and Siblings,

I'm excited to be a week away from releasing the first part of Chapter 3 to Cantors. It's my favorite piece of the story yet, and I think it's looking pretty awesome.

It's still under construction, and honestly, having only a week left scares me a bit, but then I remember I'll probably go back and rework it 5 times after the release anyway. There might be some placeholders in the next release that I might be able to add in throughout the releases in October. Also, I'll do my best to get all the minigames working, but there are some like Arcanometry which need me to program in more puzzles, and I might not actually get to that part. At the time of writing, it's looking like 7 new animated sprites are joining this upcoming release alone, with 6 new backgrounds, 6 animated CGs. And counting. So I'm prioritizing story, and then planning to clean up later.

But also next weekend, I release version 0.2.9.3, which has seen some basic bug fixes, weird inconsistencies at the beginning of chapter 2, and other smaller revisions. This includes the content update for Acolytes with the final stretch of Chapter 2.

What I did this week:

• Apart from some minor fixes to Chapter 2, worked on Chapter 3 almost exclusively.

  • Finished both writing and animating the "Green" half of the next update.

  • Animated a sprite and wrote a scene for the "Red" half of the next update.

What I plan to do next week:

• Get updates 0.2.9.3 ready for Acolytes and update 0.3.0.1 ready for Cantors.

  • Final sweep and test play of 0.2.9.3.

  • Write 4 scenes, animate 2 sprites and make 1-2 animated CGs. Maybe a background. We'll see.

• Get a Prophetic Visions art sneak peak post ready for Cantors. This one is difficult too because I don't want to spoil things too much so I will have to omit heavily, but you can expect a bunch of new sprites at least!

Have a great week ahead, and please report to Brother Pavel if you know more about what happened to the blueberry bush.
