Hey everyone!
Today, we’re rolling out the main version for the Pilot tier, along with a fix for the Cenvir furs quest and several other bug fixes. A huge thank you for your help in identifying these issues—it’s incredibly valuable in making the game better!
Future Build: Inani & More
Work on Inani’s content has officially begun! This build will follow Nara & Mjol’s update, which is set to arrive in a few weeks. The big-chested lady will be getting plenty of love in the upcoming updates, so stay tuned for more previews! Animation, writing, and other assets are already in development for Inani’s build.
VN-Style Dialogue Art: Challenges & Progress
Creating Kay’s VN-style dialogue art is a complex task due to the sheer number of required assets—different arms, outfits, expressions, wet fur variations, and more. Each asset must also be designed in our signature ‘Kay Pink’ to support color customization. Because of how customization works, this process closely resembles how we created the in-game models, though without the animation aspect. Once complete, everything will be layered in Spine to ensure fluid and dynamic character interactions. It’s a challenging task, but we’re confident that the result will bring much-needed personality to dialogues!
Maps, Navigation & Exploration
As mentioned before, players have voiced concerns about how easy it is to get lost in the game, so we've decided to refine our approach to the new map system:
Minimap – Displays a top-down view of your current level with arrows and icons indicating adjacent areas.
Regional Map – A stylized overview of cities, villages, or ships, featuring hoverable nodes with names and details. Clicking a node will let you instantly fast travel, cutting down on unnecessary walking.
Everything is progressing well, and as always, we deeply appreciate your support. You make this project possible, and we love engaging with the community. Feel free to chat with us on Discord—We are always open for DMs and discussions about the game—we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
