Cradle Dev Log #5

Hey everyone,

Time for a quick update on how things are going.

Cradle is advancing bit by bit — not as quickly as we’d ideally like, but consistently. As we worked through the structure of the next chapter, we realized the content flows much better if we split it into two parts. This way, we can polish everything that’s already in good shape, release it separately, and continue refining the second half without rushing. It should make the final experience stronger — and get new content into your hands sooner.

We’ve also realized that while we’re confident in the coding and visual side of the project, the community aspect — especially promotion and reaching new audiences — is something we’re still lacking. It’s an important part of growing a game, and we hope to figure out how to handle it better over time.

On the personal side, I’ve had some extra IRL things to take care of, which naturally take a bit of time. That said, progress hasn’t stopped — it’s simply shifted into a more balanced pace.

Despite everything, the core momentum is alive and well. Work continues every week, the story is evolving, and the next releases are taking shape piece by piece.

As always, thank you for sticking with us, for your patience, and for the messages you leave — they genuinely help more than you might imagine.

See you soon in the next update. ❤️
