DevLog #106: February 2025
Added 2025-03-01 11:11:37 +0000 UTCHi everyone! Time for the monthly DevLog - on this special 9th anniversary π
Studio's Life
I founded neko.works in February 2016 and released my first commercial game, Super Night Riders, the same month.
That means it's also the game's 9th anniversary π
Super Night Riders S1
I've fixed a few long-standing issues, including collisions with various track elements...
(These GIFs are in slow motion).
... and the rival riders are back in the race!
They were broken for so many builds - I really missed them π
Light Fairytale Episode 3
A (very) short video showcasing an alley in Hydropolis, the main town in Episode 3.

It also showcases a few new features:
- The camera is now usable during cutscenes and dialogues.
- Dialogue boxes dynamically adjust their position and scale.
A few screenshots...
Bonus?!
Last time, I mentioned commissioning a new cover for Episode 3 from romiy.
Unfortunately, it didn't make it in time for this month either π
However, here's the draft!
You can probably tell this episode is centered around the Water Elemental arc.
What's Next
March will be crunch time for Super Night Riders S1 - if I keep this pace, I believe I can release it by the end of the month or early April!
It's been 4 years since my last release, Light Fairytale Episode 2, so these are exciting times π
Thank you all for your continued support and patience. I know what it's like to wait years for a game - I'm a huge fan of Fumito Ueda, the genius behind the ICO series. His games take about 10 years between releases, with total silence during development π
By the way, his 4th game was recently announced! Check it out:

See you all soon π

Congratulations on your 9th anniversary!
