Progress Update 13/06/2025

Hey all!

I've been working hard on the next updates, making great progress with both. I've been checking everywhere the games have been posted regularly and I do believe all bugs or issues that have been reported have been completely fixed at this point! That has been far from the sole progress however, as I've been firing on full thrusters on the new updates for both as well.
For Branded I've finished off the end of the prologue, and the new map with it, making it so the game has fully reached the "free roam" segment where you can freely switch which character you're playing and choose the events and routes you want to progress along the main story. Along side this I've started work on multiple of the routes, and the content is looking especially spicy compared to what we've seen in the prologue. I'm hoping I'll be able to release a nice large update with this one in particular.

Alongside the scene work I've also been working on adding in the replay gallery and quest log. For the replay gallery I want people to be able to access all scenes in the game if they want, as I'm aware some people just want the quick pay off and not the journey, and so all existing scenes will be unlocked in there be default.

For PTM, we're speeding work into what most VN's would call the "common route". The content involving all major characters where you decisions will lead you to which of the characters routes you end up on. Given the major shift the prologue ends on, you can look forward to a lot grittier and darker stuff to come as we start to truly see the criminal side of Castlecross.

As always, thank you all so much for the support, and I can't wait for you all to see what we're cooking!
