World of Secrets: Development Update #25
Greetings, Seekers of Secrets,
It’s been 30 days since our last big update, and we’ve made incredible progress at RWA Studios! From the moment we set up our new office, we hit the ground running, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. Today, we’re excited to share a sneak peek into everything we’ve been working on. So, let’s dive right in and take a closer look at the milestones we’ve achieved and the exciting projects on the horizon!
The Studio in Action
Since moving into our new “office,” we’ve been doing our best to make it feel like… well, an actual office!
Truth be told, it’s more of a home office for now—emphasis on “home.” My partner and I have pretty much dedicated ourselves entirely to the work, and this place has become a mix of brainstorming space, render HQ, and occasional living room. Don’t expect fancy setups just yet—we’re still missing a lot of basics.
The walls are bare, but don’t worry, character-themed artwork is on the way. Proper lighting? Not quite there yet, so it’s a bit of a cave vibe for now. And our dedicated render room? Still under construction (but hey, the machines are humming wherever we can fit them!). Oh, and a rug to tie the whole place together? Nope, not yet.
Here’s a glimpse of our wonderfully chaotic, still-a-work-in-progress space:
Every great journey starts somewhere, right? 😅
What We’ve Been Working On
World of Secrets
Visual Novel Mode Launch
We're thrilled to announce that the upcoming release of World of Secrets will feature the fully functional Visual Novel (VN) mode! This mode offers a classic, story-driven experience, allowing you to immerse yourself deeply in the narrative. For this initial release, the game will be available exclusively in VN mode, providing a polished and cohesive storytelling journey right from the start.
Interactive Mode Coming Soon
We know many of you are eager for the interactive sandbox experience. Rest assured, we're diligently working on revamping the Interactive Mode to make it more engaging and enjoyable. The open-world design presented some challenges—it sometimes felt too vast, leading to moments where players could feel overwhelmed. To address this, we're making refinements to ensure the gameplay is intuitive and fun without being confusing. The Interactive Mode will be introduced in the next major update, so stay tuned!
Revamped Visuals and Content
Our render machines have been working overtime to bring you the highest quality visuals. Here's what we've accomplished:
Refined environments in stunning 4K quality, bringing every scene to life with breathtaking detail.
Reworked character designs for greater realism, depth, and emotional impact.
Brand-new animations that enhance key story moments, creating a more immersive and fluid experience.
All previous visuals have been re-rendered to match the new visual standard, ensuring a cohesive and high-quality experience throughout the game.
Added new characters with extra poses and detailed interactions, enriching the depth of each moment.
We've also increased the content volume for our updates. You can now expect smaller updates to include 300-500 renders, while our larger updates will feature 1,000-2,000 renders. This means more content and a more immersive experience for you with each release.
A Glimpse into the Future
With every render and every line of dialogue, we're pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling. We're incredibly proud of how far World of Secrets has come, and we can't wait for you to experience the new Visual Novel mode.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for World of Secrets. Your feedback and encouragement fuel our creativity and drive us to deliver the best experience possible. Stay tuned for more sneak peeks and exciting news soon!
