[Background Blog] August Development Update

Added 2025-09-01 01:39:20 +0000 UTC

Hey Patrons,

Compymono here! As stated last month, we’ve been working hard on polish and completing tasks for Astatos Chapter II. (Consequently this does mean that things might be a little light on Nekojishi art that we can share for a while as Mamaduo will be solely focusing on Astatos for a bit.)

But in general our progress in August has been looking pretty good! The main scenario scripting for Chapter II has been completed, including all Trial scenes— meaning the chapter is playable from start to finish.

I spent some time in the second half of the month playing through the completed chapter, tweaking animations, dialogue, and adding some scenes. At this point I’m pretty happy with what we’ve made!

Next month, we still have to make more of the interlude scenes, and many of the art assets for the end of the chapter!

We’ve also put out new background art posts for higher tiers, featuring artwork from Astatos!
