v0.4 Route Poll (Day 3)

Hi all! Following the release of v0.3 (Day 3 - Rofi), we're starting to plan ahead for the v0.4 update. This update will take place in Day 3 of the PTK story timeline, but will be highlighting a different character's path (i.e. if you picked someone other than Rofi during the bar night of Day 2).

Depending on our workflow and how busy life gets for us, we'd like to try working on two character paths simultaneously for the v0.4 update! Unfortunately, we can't guarantee that we'll finis...

April/v0.2 AMAs!

Hey all! Thanks to everyone for their April/v0.2 Ask-Me-Anything submissions for our development team. Please find the AMA below!

1. Favorite CG? 

Pom: It’s so hard to pick because Cobalt’s art never misses, but the Rofi Snow CG on Day 2 is one of my favorites! I also really love the Artemis/MC CG at the end of Day 2 – the lighting in that one is gorgeous.

Noh: The main character looking up at the sky. Easy slam dunk. In tandem with Reneâ...

v0.3 Rough Timeline

Hey all! After two rounds of voting, Rofi ended up winning the Patreon poll, so his route will be the focus of the v0.3 update. The second round of voting actually ended in a tie between Hunter and Rofi, but we reached out to everyone who forgot to vote in the second round and after counting their voices, Rofi won by a single vote! After v0.3, we'll be holding another poll between the remaining four cast members to decide who we'll work on next. Here’s a rough timeline for the v0.3 rel...

v0.3 Route Poll Pt. 2 (Day 3)

Hey everyone!

Thank you so much for participating in our v0.3 poll over the last week. The poll ended a few hours ago, and it finished in a three-way tie! To determine which of the three cast members we'll be working on for the next game update, we're holding a 2 day vote-off. Please take the opportunity to vote again from the three that made it on this poll, and we'll check back in once the poll's timer is up.

We’re so excited to announce that PTK v0.2 is now publicly available on itch.io and on this Patreon post!

v0.3 Route Poll (Day 3)

Hi all! We're currently deciding whose route to work on for v0.3 of PTK, and need your input! One super important note: before you cast your vote, we ask that you do your best to play through v0.2. We know that a lot of players will already have their favorites, but we'd like every character to have a fair shot in the poll, and playing v0.2 will give you a better idea of what to expect from each route.

We will leave this open until April 1st, and the top-ranked character will be the sta...

PTK v0.1 Android Release

We're happy to share that the Android version of the PTK pilot chapter is now available on Itch.io and here, on Patreon. However, there is a known audio bug with renpy android builds; on some devices, adding or removing headphones or other audio inputs may cause the game audio to bug out and disappear. Plug in your headphones before you launch the game and keep them connected the whole time to avoid this. We apologize for the inconvenience, but there doesn't seem to be a workaround at the mom...

Hey folks!! A couple of exciting announcements for y’all.

First, we just crossed the 1,000 download mark on Itch.io! We’re so, so grateful for all of you who have given our game a chance, and to those of you who went the extra mile and spread the word about it. We couldn’t have gotten here without you, and hopefully, this is just the first of many thousands!!

February/v0.1 AMAs!

Hey all! Thanks to everyone for their February Ask-Me-Anything submissions for our development team. Please find the AMA below!

1. Are there any characters or species you considered during the brainstorming phase that was scraped before final release?

Pom: No one was scrapped necessarily, but we did have a hard time figuring out Rofi’s and Artemis’ breed (of dog and bird, respectively). Fun fact, though: Artemis didn’t actually have a name for mos...
