Devlog + Supporters’ Build!
Added 2025-10-12 16:10:31 +0000 UTCHello, everyone!
Did you play the new supporters’ build already? ;) I just realized I never posted about it haha xD But I release updates for the supporters’ build every month, always on the last day. This time, I released it with a bunch of new sprites, sprite variations, and a few new CGs.
This month has been really rushed around here. I’ve been dealing with a bunch of new personal situations and challenges, and even if my anxiety has been under control lately, it all took a small toll on me. That means I’ve been just a tad slower with my editing so far—but nothing that will impact the release dates I’ve planned, which is always good, I think, haha.
In September, I:
Created 5 new sprites, including THEIR sprite ;)))
Added new expressions for a bunch of characters,
Creator “hurt” sprite variations for our main characters, to make the ending a bit more immersive
and worked on 3 new CGs!
All these changes are already on the supporters’ build, so if you want to take a look at our Opalean living legend, make sure to update your game and replay the final chapter! ♥♥♥
In October so far, I (these will be available in the next supporters build, which i'll release on the 31st):
started to organize my notes for WtDLtK
edited the entire 1st chapter and started the 2nd chapter.
started reworking the UI. Here’s what’s looking like so far. I still have to adjust it, of course (I’m playing with the opacity of the distressed BG and font colors), but I’m liking this direction a lot more than the version we had before.
started a new BG; it still needs a final round of edits, and I want to add more details to it, but I think it’s shaping up nicely. After some soul-searching, XD I realized that the BGs didn’t really show an important part of Opalean culture: the myth of the Last Dragon. That means I’ll add some statues, paintings, and motifs here and there to show that. I think there’s still a lot I can do with the BGs, but my main focus is still the editing. I’ll try to strike a balance between the two in the next weeks.
My goals for October:
Finish editing CH02, the Extra story (which I now consider CH2.5 hahaha), and the first part of CH03 (A total of ~90k words to be edited in October).
Finish the new BG
Work on a new sprite for the third hunter, Otávio.
(if time allows) work on a new CG.
And that’s it for this devlog ♥♥♥ I’ll post the extra content poll tomorrow, but after that, I might be a little quiet for a few days. Much of the work I’m doing right now isn’t really flashy, so I’m not sure how to share it with you… but at the same time, as a writer, I know that everything I’m doing now is just vital to make sure the final version of the game will feel polished and truly worth playing! ♥♥♥
As always, if you all have any concerns or questions about the game, know that my inbox is always open. Feel free to reach out! ♥
I hope you’re all healthy and safe wherever you are. See you tomorrow with the extra content poll!
Big hugs,
Ligia
