Hello everyone!

I’ve got three updates to share with you today!

First, I’ve decided to put the Shader update on hold for now. I couldn’t get the characters to look the way they originally did, and even after reaching out to other devs, the issue remains a mystery. So, I’m sticking with my (g)old characters, they’ve got that special charm, and I prefer and love them a little more.

Second, in the last dev log, the word count was around 18k, and as of last weekend, it’s grown even more up to 22k. There’s been some rewriting and fine-tuning up until earlier this week, but now I’m mostly focused on rendering. The exact word count might shift a bit as I continue to add small tweaks during the rendering process to make the story flow more naturally.
Rendering is going smoothly! I'm currently using maps I created in previous chapters, which makes for steady progress. Over the past few months, I’ve still learned more about lighting and other techniques, so I’m making small adjustments here and there to improve the quality bit by bit.

And finally, a huge thank you to three incredible community members for providing Russian, Chinese, and French translations for the game! You can download them now here on itch.io, complete with installation instructions for both PC and mobile usage. If you encounter any missing translations or issues, please let me know on Discord (preferably) or itch.io. Your feedback is always appreciated!

Also a non-game related topic: Another community member wrote me about the loss of his home because of the recent hurricanes in their country. While I can’t fully grasp what it’s like to experience such a devastating loss, I truly hope that things improve for everyone affected by these events. My thoughts are with all of you who are going through tough times!

That said, I hope the week ahead treats you all kindly. Take care, and thank you for your continued support! <3
