I have been dealing with some health problems this week, though it hasn't hampered development too much. I should be getting better within the next few days, so I wouldn't worry about it.
This week I'll begin generation of this update's images. If I finish with that, I'll also start on the map for the new area.
2024-10-06 20:14:38 +0000 UTC View PostWhat was unfinished previously for the update two weeks ago was finished and pushed out yesterday alongside some bug fixes. Regarding the content poll, as of writing this, the third option, 'Outer Area (Opposite Mary, different environment. New Playable Character - Arrogant Elf)' on the poll for the content of the next update has the most votes on the Discord, so that is what the focus will be on.
With the introduction of another playable character, dialogue of course is gonna become a...
The scene set involving a hole to the East of Castaway Port has been finished, and the shorts scenes in the Casino and involving the weird mushrooms has been added. Some bug fixes were also made. The same links posted for V0.090 still work.
Thank you all for your patience!
Work on finishing up the update as well as doing some bug fixes should be completed this week.
Also a reminder that the next update content is based on a poll vote. Around the end of next week whichever choice has the most votes will be what the update is centered around. Check out the poll on the Discord in the polls channel (it's the very first poll, you'll need to scroll to the top). There's a poll on the Patreon, but the options on that are old and not updated, so the Discord poll ...
2024-09-22 20:17:02 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate V0_09 has just dropped for GoF Island. I wasn't quite able to finish everything by today, so I'll be working on the rest this week, apologies for the delay. What's currently missing is some of the scene set for the hole outside Castaway Port, the small mushroom scene, a small scene that will be in the Casino, as well as some non-scene NPCs outside Castaway Port.
You can find more details in the walkthrough, change log, and the update post about this update.

2024-09-15 23:34:17 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate of GoF Island for filling in content in the Bandit Camp, adding a new 'show battle' to the Castaway Port Pub, and part of a scene set in a hole East of Castaway Port.
The rest of the planned content: the finished hole scene set, Casino short scene and mushroom scene, will be worked on and hopefully pushed out some time this week. Apologies for the delay.

Bandit Camp stuff is finished and work on the scene set has started. Not sure if I'll have everything finished by Sunday (15th), but whether I am or am not, I'll try to push out what's finished by that day and whatever isn't will be added the following week.
Additionally, some teasers for both the upcoming free and EA versions have been posted on the Discord!
2024-09-08 20:13:30 +0000 UTC View PostWork on the Bandit Camp fill-in content is finishing up. As said on last week's post, I'll move to working on stuff outside the Port, a couple small things in the casino, and the mushroom scene after finishing stuff in the Bandit Camp.
Assuming things go alright, next update will be around the middle of September.
2024-09-01 20:08:40 +0000 UTC View PostBegan development of content in the Bandit Area. Most of it will be available when the quest related to the Bandit Camp is active, but they will be viewable in the gallery as well as per usual.
Aiming to try and finish Bandit Camp content this week. After that, work will continue on the scene-set event in one of the paths outside the port, the small casino stuff, and the misc scene. I'm not sure how much time I'll have for the faces/expressions, but if there's time I'll definit...
2024-08-25 21:15:59 +0000 UTC View PostBit of a slow week. Did a bit of play testing for the first enemy and got some progress done on the second enemy, though I don't believe I'll have the second enemy finished for the next update. I'll be moving on to working on the non-battle content this week.
2024-08-18 17:28:50 +0000 UTC View PostFirst enemy of new combat style is finished up finally. It's clear that I won't be getting 5 of these 'battles' by next update release, though. Instead of 5 battles, it will be less battles, but with more scenes per battle in comparison to the usual battles. Plans still haven't changed, I'll continue with these enemies for this week, and then work on the other update content after. Whatever time is left over I will use to return to the battle stuff. I'll consider feedback and how I feel about...
2024-08-11 22:31:31 +0000 UTC View PostBuilding of the first 'enemy' continues, though it's nearly finished; I've developed more than I thought I would for this single battle. I don't won't to develop the other 'enemies' in this set with less content, however, putting me in a weird spot. For now, I plan to continue 'enemy' development for the next two weeks, and then pivot to the other content (connectors/paths outside Castaway, and the bandit camp). I'll return to finishing up the enemies once the rest of the content is finished....
2024-08-04 19:52:03 +0000 UTC View PostDevelopment for the first 'enemy' with the new / alternate battle method has started. I've decided to move the (first) place you can participate in these 'battles' from the Casino to the Pub, since that makes more sense to me. It doesn't really affect much, besides the location being different and needing a few dialogue changes.
It took a bit of time to re-familiarize myself with the battle method since once I finished building it before, I didn't really touch it again until now...
2024-07-28 19:06:33 +0000 UTC View PostThis week was the release of the first split of filling in content for the existing areas. So I'll be moving on to working on the 2nd split. As I've been mentioning, since the assets and major events have already been created, I can go ahead and begin on the scenes immediately for the second split.
On another note, unfortunately, the daily free currency you can receive on Yodayo, the AI image generator I use, has been reduced from 150 to 100 / they are planning to. This will not ...
2024-07-21 20:26:17 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate of GoF Island for filling in content in Castaway Port! Includes a new mini boss in the hideout, a continuation of the house with the maid in it, a minigame in the previously locked house (farthest building southeast), and 3 new requests!
If anyone is having issues with the Early Access role not being given on the Discord, please message me here so I can give you the role!

Quick report today. Assuming no issues occur, EA release should be out tomorrow. Today I'll finish up what's left for the first split, and tomorrow I'll do some play testing before release.
2024-07-14 17:08:42 +0000 UTC View PostDevelopment in the Castaway Port content continues. It's been progressing slower than I would have liked, so I don't think I'll have anything extra completed by the release, but I'll try by best to make sure I at least get the Castaway Port stuff completed.
It is my hope that the 2nd part of the split can be completed faster than the first. However, I've been noticing a lot of my optimistic statements have been either barely met or not met at all, so take that statement with caution. I'...
2024-07-07 17:01:53 +0000 UTC View PostFinished what should be the last major 'coding/eventing/whatever you call it' thing for this update. The rest of the work should mostly be building scenes now. The split I talked about before is almost certain to be happening at this point, so there should be an EA release by the 15th of July. As a reminder, it won't be all of the content for the fill-in update yet, just whatever I get finished by then. The rest will be finished up after.
My goal is to finish up Castaway Port, excluding...
2024-06-30 16:30:17 +0000 UTC View PostSlow week, but I've finished the mini boss and started working on the other fill-in stuff.
It's taken me about this long to realize that filling in these areas is going to take longer than usual. I'm probably gonna split the update into two so there isn't too long of a wait for an update. That means there will likely be an EA release in the next few weeks, but it won't be the entirety of the fill-in content yet.
I'll see how development goes in these next few weeks and will upda...
2024-06-23 20:46:10 +0000 UTC View PostShort progress report this week. The new combat method was developed smoothly, and the mini boss is around half way completed. Once the mini boss is completed, development into other old WIP scenes will continue.
2024-06-16 18:41:59 +0000 UTC View PostAnother solid week of progress. Edits on all the images are more or less completed, meaning I can move on to the event building/scenes/battles. I'll be tackling the big ones first; a mini-boss and the new style of combat I mentioned. How quickly I can finish these will determine how fast I can get the next update out, as the other content should be easier to do.
Free release poll will be ending today, final tally was 4, 2, 1, 5 from longest wait to shortest, with shortest having the mos...
2024-06-09 20:14:20 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, I made excellent progress with the image generation for the next update. I already have most of the images I need generated, and I can go ahead and move on to editing them this week. I'm very happy it only took around a week to generate them this update, compared to nearly a full month like last update. Hopefully, this pattern can continue in the future, and maybe I can get this update out a bit quicker compared to the previous update too.
Next, there should be some te...
2024-06-02 20:35:39 +0000 UTC View PostNothing too much to cover for this week. I've started generating the images, and my goal is to have them finished quicker than the last update (last update the issues and then solution combined resulted in the images taking almost a month). I'll try to have it all generated and edited as needed within the next two weeks. Somewhere in that time frame I'll also try to post a few sneak peek images! Keep in mind they might not be the final images!
Also, this two week time frame doesn't ...
Hello! Work this week involved finishing and sending out the 0.07 update for Early Access. Beyond that, a bit of preparation for the upcoming Catch-up update has started, primarily outlines for what will be 'caught-up'.
This is a pretty wordy weekly report, so here's a tldr:
The upcoming catch-up update is an update for working on WIP content not finished in the already existing areas of the game.
There will still be new enemies added, though for this p...
2024-05-19 14:55:20 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate of GoF Island for the Catacombs of Wrath Dungeon! Major additions include the dungeon (go East out of Castaway port, then southeast), 4 new enemies, a dungeon boss, and a couple new moves for Mary (check the blue crystal in the DEV room for saves from previous versions to get the moves)!
Also, if anyone is having issues with the Early Access role not being given on the Discord, please message me here so I can give you the role!

The dungeon boss is finally finished! All that's left are some finishing touches on some events, and bug fixing!
I will be trying to release the update on Wednesday (EST). Keep in mind there will be a normal update release for Early Access, and a bug fix update for the free version as well.
2024-05-12 18:44:52 +0000 UTC View PostEnemy development continues. 4/5 enemies are more or less completed. Only the dungeon boss, bug fixes, and finishing up some events are left!
I might be able to squeeze the update (Early Access) into the end of this week, otherwise, it should be ready by early next week.
Also, thank you to everyone that voted on the poll! If you haven't already, you still can vote if you wish to!
I've received feedback before that the addition of more visual emotional expression would be a nice addition. I agree, and I think I have enough currency for the AI generator I use to play around with it some!
I plan on using a model with simpler coloring since I find the more detailed models to not handle scaling well. This means the faces may look a bit different from the faces for the detailed version, but I'll try my best to keep them as similar as possible!
Ideally, I wan...
Event building continued into last week and will continue in this week as well. 2 of the 5 enemies are finished, with the third in progress! Once the enemies are finished, there will just be a few things to finalize in the dungeon, and a few bug fixes. After that, the next update should be ready for release!
To provide a vague time of release, I doubt it will be ready this week. If no glaring issues come up, next week seems like a safe estimate. Keep in mind this is only an est...
Development continues normally. Nothing much to say for the previous week! Mostly focused on finishing the more tedious aspects for the events. Event and battle building will continue this week!
On another note, here's a reminder to everyone to vote in the poll for the update following the catch-up update (Either on the Patreon or in the Discord poll channel)! Since I forget to mention a small detail for one of the options that might cause some vote changes, I'll throw it in here!...
