Progress Leading Up to the Next Game Update

We understand that you’re hoping for updates as often as possible. We’re doing everything we can to make the game better with every update. Since we don’t use neural networks, we spend a lot of time on the art side of the project, and then we refine and polish the assets—as we’re doing right now with the mini-game scenes, for example. Our limited experience as developers also affects our pace, but we’re gaining more experience and finding solutions to problems, and your support plays an invaluable role in the game’s development. For example, we’ve now got someone who has completely taken over the background rendering and character pose correction! 

Now, let’s talk about what still needs to be done for the “Arm Wrestling” mini-game.

The mechanics are partially working, but further refinement is needed:
- Animations for Rena’s five opponents: in a single Spine file, with 3 animations for each (victory, gameplay, defeat);
- Animations for Rena and her “bunny,” “fish,” and “strong” variants (victory, gameplay, defeat);

- Add effects;
- Optimize resolution for widescreen monitors;
- Scriptwriter: dialogue layout, transition to H-scenes;
- Scenes include the aforementioned Rena skins;
- Scene animations.

In addition, special attention will be given to training and various additional details of the existing content:

- Creating the familiar’s appearance and form, followed by animations;
- Adding a human form for the familiar;
- Teaching mechanics using an additional familiar form (the jelly man);
- Reworking the game’s opening to immerse players in the story, along with a completely revamped hint system that explains correct and incorrect actions;
- A couple of animated scenes with Magnus the merchant;

- Integrating new modifications for Rena (we’ve already listed them above);
- Animating scenes with Erzbet.
There’s a lot of work to be done, but it’s underway, and we’re excited about both the process and your support!
