🌒 Chapter 2 – Week 1 Dev Log

Hey everyone!

This week has been incredibly exciting—finally seeing people play and review Chapter 1 has been such a rewarding experience. A huge thank you to everyone who’s chosen to gain early access to the game—I genuinely appreciate each and every one of you. And to those following development, thank you too! I can’t wait for you to try the public release on April 9th. I really hope you find something that pulls you in and makes you want to stick around to see where Moonlight takes you as an AVN enjoyer.

🛠️ Pre-Production for Chapter 2 Begins

I’ve wasted no time getting back into development for Chapter 2. This time around, I’ve decided to take a more structured approach with a short pre-production phase. Rather than juggling everything at once, I’m focusing first on:

• Finalizing and tightening the script

• Building out all the environments needed for the chapter before moving into rendering

This methodical process should allow me to take extra care in crafting each scene, making sure the environments truly reflect the vision I have for Moonlight’s world.

✂️ Goodbye Beard Troubles

First order of business: MC’s beard.

The beard I used in Chapter 1 was... a nightmare. It regularly broke and created postwork headaches that undermined the quality I was aiming for. So this week, I reworked and tested a new beard setup—one that’s much more stable and, frankly, way less soul-destroying to deal with.

🌆 Worldbuilding the City

The city in Moonlight is designed to feel like a world in transition—split between sleek, futuristic districts and areas still rooted in the modern day. It’s the near future, and I want that evolution to be visible.

This week I created a new city scene specifically for cinematics and animated sequences. I’ve started populating it with:

• World-building ads

• Lore-relevant visuals

• A few sneaky easter eggs for sharp-eyed players 👀

I’ve also begun work on the street-level locations we’ll need for Chapter 2. One’s already complete, and another is close to done.

🧑‍🎤 New Character Reveal: Rose

Meet Rose, a new club owner who’ll make her debut in Chapter 2. She’s got a vibe all her own, and I’m excited for you to meet her.

✍️ Writing Progress

I’ve written over 250 lines of dialogue this week alone. I’m genuinely excited for players to hear more from these characters and experience how their voices and personalities evolve from what you saw in Chapter 1.

🚀 Full Steam Ahead

I’m so pumped to keep working on Chapter 2, and I hope you’re enjoying these behind-the-scenes updates. Thanks again for being part of this journey—I can’t wait to share more soon.

Until next time,
