Timelapses of Celina and Marcin's sprite arts. I don't have one for Anna since Jo was the one who worked on that. Again, thanks to mokiatte for guiding us through Anna and Celina's design.

Hey everyone,
We’ve got a bit of good news about Jo. He is finally out of the hospital and is now recovering at home. He still has a long way to go with rehab and some expensive meds, but he’s already starting to ease back into writing Cienie. For now, he can’t work on sprites as his hands are still too shaky for art.
Thank you so much to everyone who’s been supporting us here on Patreon and through Jo’s d...

Marcin, an orange male tabby, was one of the witnesses who saw the group of missing students at the gas station. We didn't have his sprites before, but he's getting them now.

Hey everyone,
We've been getting a lot of questions about the progress of the next Cienie build, and we want to be as transparent as possible with all of you. Since responding individually can be tricky, we've put together a progress spreadsheet to keep our supporters updated on how things are coming along. The spreadsheet will be updated from...

Celina, a doe and Anna's girlfriend, will appear in the upcoming build! We’re introducing her as a bubbly, femme character with a touch of clumsiness and awkward charm. Huge thanks to mokiatte for helping us with her design!

Hey guys,
Some good news. ArmoredStranger (Jo) is out of the ICU and neurology hospital. He’s now moving to a rehabilitation hospital for the recovery phase. However, he needs financial support to cover the costs of rehab and recovery.
If you’re able to contribute to his fundraiser link, any amount would mean the world to us. If donating isn’t possible, simply sharing the link and spreading the word wo...

To avoid the fee, please use the web portal to subscribe to our Patreon instead. You can still access the Patreon in the iOS app afterwards.
And the 30% fee goes to Mr. Apple, not us.
Thank...

We wanted to update you on what's been happening recently. Last week, Cienie's creator, ArmoredStranger (Jo) was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a condition that affects the nervous system and causes muscle weakness. He was hospitalised and, after 5 days treat...

First and foremost, apologies for the lack of updates. We took the month of December off, but we're back and ready to continue progress! Earlier this year, we celebrated Cienie’s one-year anniversary on Discord, where we shared a summary of our milestones and future projects. We want to thank everyone who joined in the celebration!
Now, we’re back to working on the next build. One of the new ...
