Hello peeps, firstly sorry there's no real release this month. I largely spent this month writing and planning.

As you guys know since the itch thing I had to part ways with the writer I was hiring. This is a task I opted to avoid doing. But now I have to do it, and first I need to make sense of what I have.

Writing

So, this month I decided to get things organized, I setup some tools to help get everything together. And this is for both Our Apartment and Forest Project.

So, here's a few notable developments:

• Our Apartments core outline is now planned through Acts 4-12 I have a good idea of what content is planned and what needs to be written. It can be a lot, or it can be a little it really comes down to what I can do. But at minimum I can deliver on main things. That means act 5-12 could have an elevated pace since I'm not really focusing on side content as much right now. I think I'm gonna focus on main story for the most part.

  • A side effect of this work was I realize the Act 4 daily dialogue missed story beats so that's been added.

  • Act 4 writing needs editing but is actually written otherwise, it really just needs animations and an editing pass. So very soon act 4 will be fully playable, and the next hold will be act 5.

  • Story beats and the documentation around the work mini-game has also been organized (and some code recovered). This won't come with the demo and may not come with the steam release but immediately after. I may do some special builds testing this though.

• Forest project I made a new series of documents to outline the concept, character profiles, asset needs, planned renders, etc. it's all laid out.

I am horrendous at organizing and putting what's in my head down in an organized way. So, this was a slow process, I also did a lot of dialogue implementation work and some planning around implementation too.

Planning

So next month expect a build and a bunch of changes, a project roadmap should come soon as well. I also think I'm gonna go ham on certain things to help with my income.

I'm not gonna describe the plan yet, cause I wanna make sure it comes properly. But if it goes well, you'll have a lot of new content to try.

Conclusion

Again, sorry no major releases this month even for forest project but know work is being done. It's just dialogue and planning work is always painfully slow for me. But I think over the next month I should be releasing more than usual and can announce some exciting things.

Thanks for your support and patience
