Shelter Devlog November 2025 - Progress on Build v47

Awoo!

Still working on the newest build, but making good progress! As I said last time, it's basically a triple-sized update, but we'll get there one step at a time, and I hope you'll like it!

I had some free time for Christmas and New Year, and I've been back to work as soon as the holidays ended. I'm going to post some of the new assets in the next post(s) here on Patreon, so you can take a guess on some of the things that might be going on in the upcoming build.

Shelter Devlog November 2025

Awoo!

I thought I would take a few minutes to get you updated on how the work on the upcoming Shelter build is going.

I'm happy to tell you that today I finally finished and polished the full script, and I'm ready to focus entirely on preparing the visual assets and coding. It turned out to be a basically triple-sized update, sitting at over 21.000 words!

It's chunky as heck. Ideally, I would prefer to give you smaller and more consistent updates, but this time we have an ex...

Shelter Devlog November 2025

Awoo!

I thought I'd let you know how the work on the next build is going!

Considering the way the last main story update ended, as well as knowing what the content of the followup/conclusion would be, I really appreciated the little break I had with the more lighthearted content of our Demons Within crossover. I hope you liked that one! The whole crossover will be concluded in just a few more chapters, but I'm enjoying it very much <3 And its latest chapter gave me an oppo...

Shelter Devlog October 2025

Awoo! Raus here!

I thought I'd give you a quick update on how things are going, regarding the upcoming update and in general.

After finishing the last update, I still worked for another week or so, and then took my first real vacation this whole year, with a nice trip to a nearby beach and visiting some friends in a nearby city. It was super nice and exactly what I needed to return to my Shelter work with eagerness!

This week, I've been making good progress on the next chapt...

SheltRPG Devlog 5 - Six Colors of Magic

In Shelter’s world, you have six basic mana types, each corresponding to a different species group and represented by a different color.

Red - Canine

Orange - Feline

Yellow - Avian

Green - Rodent

Purple - Ungulate

Blue - Saurian

This is the very basis for every worldbuilding decision I’ve made for this setting. A setting I wanted to populate with distinct factions of different species, where the presence of those differences feeds into every eleme...

Shelter merch samples!

Awoo!

Remember years ago, when I used to sell shirts and Cooper pillow cases?

I was thinking about opening that shop again. After all, we have that MERCH Dandelion little head in the main menu, and it would be great to have more use of that!

I got a few new merch samples, and all of them turned out pretty great.

There is a new tshirt printing method that has more vibrant colors and should be more resistant to washing.

Embroidery is always amazing, and this time I...

General Gunner redesign WiP (Grey Wolp)

At around the age he was in Alon's childhood, but wielding his own weapon from SheltRPG.
There are still some details I'd like to add to his armor, add some shine to the metal, and probably work a bit more on his fluff and color patterns. I think we're on a good track, though!

SheltRPG Devlog 4 - Battle; Overview

SheltRPG features a turn-based battle system inspired by elements of various jRPGs I’ve played over years. I love Final Fantasy games and I liked multiple ideas in Breath of Fire 4, like the tagging mechanic which was pretty new at that time. Apparently Square liked it too, when they made FFX.

There are multiple unique mechanics in our system coming from the use of our Mana, but overall the flow of the game should still feel pretty intuitive. I’ll make sure you get to fully underst...

Special A Demon Within Shelter release promotion for Patreon supporters!

Awoo!

The brand new collaboration between Shelter and Demons Within, A Demon Within Shelter, has JUST released on both Patreons! Though this initial release is Patreon-only, as it is also tied to the current Patreon-only versions of both games, it will be available to everyone as soon as the latest versions of both games also become public. In the meantime, we’re holding two special offers that are valid for both Shelter and Demons Within’s Patreons in order to make it easier for p...

The first installments of our little crossover side story with Demons Within is going to be ready for you very soon! This is how the chapter selection looks on Shelter's side. I hope you'll have fun with it~

I'm gonna finish that, and then move on to borking on Shelter's canon v46 content, continuing Alon...

SheltRPG Devlog 3 - The Three Modes

The first couple devlogs acted as a general introduction to the whole idea of SheltRPG as a game, but we haven’t actually covered any specifics yet, so I hope this entry will begin to give you a bit of a better idea of what kind of experience to expect. Let’s then take a look on the overview of the whole gameplay loop… which is still pretty general in a sense, but at least this is the first time we’re talking about the gameplay of our game. The further we go, the more I’ll be able t...
