Devlog – Chapter 3 Progress + Animation Question

Added 2025-04-16 12:41:46 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone!

Just a little update from behind the scenes: development on Chapter 3 is going strong! I’m currently in the writing phase—about 70% done. Once that’s wrapped, I’ll move on to image prompting and cleanup, which (as always) takes the longest chunk of time.

I don’t want to promise an exact release date just yet, but I’m aiming to have Chapter 3 ready by mid-May, hopefully sooner if all goes well!

Now, I wanted to ask for your input on something that feels like a natural next step for the project: animations.

Right now, I don’t have the budget to commission them regularly. If I start adding them, it would mean less frequent chapter releases. So here’s the question:

Would you prefer to see animations added, even if it means waiting longer between updates?
Or should we keep the current release pace and hold off on animations for now?

Once I’m able to secure a bigger budget, I’ll definitely add animations in—whether that’s in future chapters or retroactively as a patch for the earlier ones.

Lastly, just a huge thank you to everyone who’s been playing and supporting the game. We’re almost at 200 followers, and while I know numbers aren’t everything, it’s a great sign that the project is finding its audience—and that means the world to me.

That’s all for now. Stay tuned, and thanks again for being part of this!

❤️ Dev
