Dev Blog: New Tier Benefits, Story Progress, and Team Expansion!

Here is what’s happening behind the scenes at Candylight Studio this week:

✨ Polishing the Foundation

We’re spending time in the "cleanup" phase. This means:

• Visual Refinement: We are going back to older scenes to fix clipping and other mistakes in animations and re-rendering images that didn’t quite meet our standards.

• Grammar & Flow: We’re doing a full pass on the script to catch those pesky typos and ensure the dialogue feels as immersive as possible.

• The Sound of Passion: We are actively expanding our library of SFX and music to ensure that every scene has the perfect atmosphere.

🎭 The Halfway Point: The Plot Thickens

We are officially closing in on the halfway point of the game's story.

Up until now, you’ve been getting to know the girls and finding your footing in the mansion.

Moving forward, the "Playground" is going to get a lot more complex.

The mystery behind Zach’s mansion and the true nature of the journey will slowly start to unfold.

💎 New Tier Benefits:

Since we’ve moved to monthly major releases, we want to make sure our higher-tier supporters still have a steady stream of content and a say in how the game grows.

Here is the new Early Access structure:

Level 5 & Above (Weekly) - Access to our "Work-in-Progress" builds every week. Help us test new mechanics, catch bugs early, and provide direct feedback as we build.

Level 3 & 4 (Bi-Weekly) - Access to the game every two weeks. Join the "bug hunt" on a more stable version and see the progress midway through the month.

Level 2 (Monthly) - Access to the final, optimized, and fully polished "Mega-Update" at the end of the month.

Note: Level 5 weekly and Level 3 & 4 bi-weekly builds will be raw and unfinished, as we are no longer rushing content for a weekly deadline. This is for those who want to be part of the actual dev process!
