WIP 46

Some environments in Finding Buddies are currently being improved to match the game's new and enhanced visual style. It has been incredible to recreate scenes that were originally made when my skills and equipment were not as advanced as they are today.

Beyond the visual improvements, the remake will also bring important gameplay advancements, with mechanics that go beyond simply choosing a dialogue option. The goal is to push the experience beyond what a traditional visual novel usually offers.

To make this possible, I am developing a custom system for the game together with a programmer, allowing me to fully personalize the experience and build Finding Buddies exactly the way I always imagined it.

Previously, the game used a system called Naninovel, which made development much easier for someone like me who didn't have programming experience, but it also introduced creative limitations and often caused bugs when I tried to implement systems that weren't really supported by it. In the remake, Finding Buddies will feature a visual novel system developed specifically for the game.

I'm very excited to show the evolution and final vision of the project. Soon you'll be able to play it in early access, and later a demo will also be available on Steam.

Thank you for supporting the development of Finding Buddies ❤️

Can I ask, will patrons needs to buy the game on Steam? Would you consider offering Steam Codes to long term patrons?
