• January devlog - 20 January 2026

  Hi! And welcome to this new devlog!Current goalThis month, I’m continuing to work on the demo! I clearly underestimated the amount of work required to go from a “game in development” to a “game that’s presentable on Steam, even with the ‘in development’ label”: a robust save system, UI, options (language and accessibility), “real”, etc. All those small things that improve the game’s quality of life and give it a finished feel, but that I hadn’t worked on at all until now.Game updatesSave system: already started last month, I’m now extending it to cover all of the game’s features.UI: we’re moving from placeholders that have been there since the very first prototypes to a real interface: splash screen, main menu, credits, pause menu, options menu, and in-game popups! I had to find an art direction that is consistent with the rest of the game. I still have a few doubts and some ideas for h…

• December devlog - 23 December 2025

  Hi! And welcome to my very first devlog!I will present you my current goals, the new features developed in December, a quick update on my social media activity, and finally what’s coming next month. Enjoy the read!Current goalThe demo! Steam Next Fest starts on February 11, and the public demo needs to be ready for the event. If we subtract the time needed to validate the build… that leaves us with one month! This is a major milestone for the future of the project, and it absolutely can’t be missed.Game updatesThe 3Cs and the art direction are now solidly in place. That’s reassuring for the demo and it frees up time for what comes next: level design and all the gameplay building blocks needed to create it, which had been put aside until now.This is therefore what I focused on this month:“Paper” level design: the macro design and progression for the entire demo are finally ready. The dem…
