Development Log MAY #1
Hey sweethearts, it’s Jesse!
I have a little secret to share: I was sitting in my room at HQ, bored out of my mind doing the same old tests over and over. I was missing Dan so much! I found myself staring out the window at the cherry blossoms falling, and I thought, "Why don't I head down and see how Dr. Mad and the team are doing?"
Surprise, surprise! (Well, not really). Dr. Mad was buried in work, so deep into it that he doesn't even know if it's day or night anymore. He told me he just finished up with Snowwhite and is now going full steam ahead with a girl named Jade... that name sounds familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it... 🤔 Also, there were so many incredible vehicles and cool bikes everywhere! I never get bored when I visit him, though I think I distract him just a little bit, hehehe!
Snow-white: The Cat’s Out of the Bag
Work on Snow-white's scene has officially wrapped up. Her appearance alone is going to be a total visual impact thanks to her new outfit; I promise all you "kitty" lovers are going to be very, very happy. But that’s not all: for the bolder players interested in her, we’ve included an optional scene where we take things a step further... You know exactly what I mean. Better turn up the AC!
Jade: Gear Up or Get Out
If you like girls who mean business, Jade is your best bet! We know how much you love her, so the studio is creating a massive amount of content for her. Not only is she a key player at this point in the story to help save our protagonists from the dangers ahead, but you’ll get to see every side of her. From her downtime to the serious "attitude" she brings when she’s kicking ass (and worse... gore mode: ON). Plus, you'll see Jade and Dan hitting the gas on some new vehicles that will leave you breathless.
The Sound of the Future
In parallel, another part of the team is focused on composing new tracks and original songs for the events in this version. We want the music of Project Atmosphere to be as immersive as its visuals, and we’re sure these new themes will take your gaming experience to a whole new level.
Cyber-Engines & Lore: We Want Your Opinion
We’ve realized that we’ve created a huge variety of vehicles for Project Atmosphere: four-wheelers, two-wheelers... even some with no wheels at all! We know that if you’re fans of this project, it’s because you also love the Cyberpunk genre and all the lore surrounding it. Would you like us to do a special post just about the vehicles, giving you technical specs and lore? This would not delay the development of the new version, but we want to know if you're interested in that level of detail.
The Final Stretch
We told you the new version was just around the corner, and now we can finally see it reaching its destination! We can’t give you an exact date just yet, but we are currently finishing up the final parts of this update. We are dying to finally give you a date, but we need you to be just a little more patient. It’ll be worth it!
I hope you enjoyed today’s news, sweethearts! Remember to let us know in the comments what you think about the vehicle lore post. Jesse will give a shout-out in the next Devnotes to whoever leaves the best comment!
And now, take advantage of the great weather, go outside, and touch some grass—it does us all a world of good!
With all my love, Your Jesse (and the whole Dr. Mad team)

Is project atmosphere no longer in the works because of the hard drive issue i would like to know before joining monetarily please let me know i really enjoy your game and thanks for the hard work
The project is alive and well and will continue to be so for a long time to come. In the coming days, we’ll announce the exact release date; I think we’ll launch the new update within 1–2 weeks. Right now, we’re working on translating the game into the supported languages.
Well being a mechanical engineer of course I am interested the the vehicles 🚘 🤓, and Jade, and the new music 🎵... well you got me. I am interested in all of it 😍.
Hell yeah I'd love to learn more about the vehicles and such. Love lore and bts stuff about the dev process and all that. Not many devs and teams take the time or give that option and honestly, I wish they would. It's a prime opportunity to help the players connect with the game on a deeper level which makes it worth it in my opinion especially for someone like me. I have a condition called Aphantasia, which makes it impossible for me to picture anything in my head which is how I got into visual novels in the first place. Having that extra level of info and detail is awesome for me and those like me. I would definitely welcome more lore. Hope you guys have a great week 👍😀
It's so cool to see Jade again. Wondering what people says about the vehicle question...
