Hey everyone! 👋

Welcome to my first development update! I'm excited to share this with all of you. This post was originally posted on Patreon, two weeks ago. But I want to bring the full development story to itch as well, so here it is! The development update #2 will be posted in a couple of days (posted today for Patreon supporters).

Current Progress on Episode 1

I've begun working on Episode 1.

Here's where things stand right now:

📊 Development Progress:

Story and Plot                   ████████████████████ 100%

Dialogues                             ███░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ 15%

Renders & Animations ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ 0%

Sound & Music                  ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ 0%

The entire episode structure is complete - all the scenes, plot points, and story beats. Now I'm in the dialogue writing phase, crafting conversations that will bring these characters to life.

What's Coming Next

Once the dialogue phase wraps up, here's the roadmap ahead:

• Render Production - Creating all the visuals
• Animation Integration - This is a brand new feature I'm adding! Expect some exciting animated sequences
• Audio Design - Selecting music and sound effects to enhance the atmosphere
• Testing & Polish - Thorough debugging and quality checks
• Android Port - Making sure mobile players can enjoy the experience too

Episode 1 is shaping up to be much bigger than the Prologue - longer story, more renders, brand new animations, and some interesting dynamics that I'm excited for you to experience.

Personal Thoughts

It's been one week since the Prologue's official launch, and I have to say, I'm moved by the response. The positive feedback has been incredibly encouraging and motivating.

I've also taken note of the constructive criticism - particularly regarding content length and areas for improvement. I hear you, and I'm committed to addressing these concerns. Your honest feedback is invaluable for making this project the best it can be.

Now for the question I know you're all thinking: "When will Episode 1 be ready?"

This is always the trickiest question to answer because so much can change during development. If everything proceeds smoothly, I'm optimistic about a 3-4 month timeline. However, I want to be completely transparent - this is not a promise or guarantee. I'm balancing this passion project with my day job and other responsibilities, so unexpected delays are always possible.

Thank You

I want to close by expressing my sincere gratitude to each of you for joining me on this creative journey. Whether you're  a free follower or a paid supporter, your presence means the world to me.

Until next time!
