• The Missing Threads - Dev Log (2026.03.03.) - 3 March 2026

  The Missing Threads – Dev LogI rushed the demo to get a build ready, but once I played it myself, it became clear that it lacked polish and just wasn’t engaging enough.That led to several changes:Adjustments to parts of the storyA revised report submission flowA redesigned interrogation system (moving from keyword-based to clue-based interrogation)What started as small tweaks gradually turned into a larger update, which has extended development time more than I initially planned.I’m now focusing on consolidating the changes and preparing a cleaned-up build for the first round of playtesting.Thank you for sticking with the project.
