Welcome to our November wrap-up blog! The new year is just a month away and the team has been working hard to wrap up 2025 as productively as possible. Read on for our monthly accomplishments in art, writing, development, and more! 🍂

Monthly Content Summary

Two BIG pieces of news! 🗞️

This month, we released our first-ever clothing item: A dreamy, ocean-themed hoodie to celebrate our favorite ocean-themed-boy! 🌊 It features an embroidered heart and Poppy Hill petals, and (surprise) we think it’s pretty adorable. 

It’s a limited-time drop, and will only be available until December 13th! So, if you’d like to make your Sunset Bird residency known to the public, you can purchase the hoodie on Makeship here.

Next: We know the Patreon fam has already played this content, but still, we’d like to announce… The public demo launch went live YESTERDAY! This has been our first demo in a while, and we’re really excited to have it go out.

• A full revamped tutorial 

• A new Step 1 Moment, “Fancy Fun”

• The rest of the Step 2 prologue

• One Step 2 Moment, “Assistance”

‼️ One new thing – We received a request to include each month’s beta descriptions in the public blogs, so folks could know a bit more about what was going on behind the scenes. We’ve decided to move forward on that, so here you are:

This month’s beta (1.4.24) included:

• All of Step 1

• The Step 2 Prologue

• 1 Full Step 2 Moment, “Assistance” 

Development Progress

Throughout November, GB has continued to draft both the final Moment and the End of Fall section for Step 2. 

GB and our lead developer, Shawna, are currently working on a brand new roadmap, which will be revealed at the start of next year! This roadmap will cover when you can expect certain development milestones, particularly when it comes to releases. A very exciting thing to look forward to, and we’ll keep you updated on it. 🫡

Art tasks have been coming along smoothly. New icons, backgrounds, and character pieces have been created.

Finally, the search for a new background artist is wrapping up, and GB hopes to have that role filled in December.
