Weekly Update - Apr 27, 2026

Last week, we finalized the combat mechanics for Jodi's Rage Mode, and Naux is now making the animations for it.

We want Rage Mode to feel strong and fun to use, but not so strong that fights become too easy. Players will need to use it wisely to beat tougher enemies. We’ll have to playtest and tweak things to get the balance just right.

I also completed storyboards for several more cutscenes last week. Drawing them out helped me further refine scene layouts, plot points, and character lines, smoothing out the narrative flow and making everyone’s actions and dialogue feel more cohesive.

I also revisited a lot of the Chapter 3 level design, working to give each location a stronger sense of purpose and to shorten the downtime between objectives.

This week, I’ll begin implementing the logic for Jodi’s Rage Mode, continue storyboarding, and keep polishing scenes and dialogue. Naux continues on animation, and SHJIEJIE remains on props and modeling.
