🛠 Devlog #3 — The Final Push Before the Update
🕑 Added 2025-05-26 10:53:47 +0000 UTCWork is in full swing! We're on the home stretch for update 47, and right now, the team is arguably at its busiest. The final weeks are always the most intense—details pop up, overlooked little things emerge, and our heads are crammed with to-do lists. But it's moments like these that produce something vibrant and real - and that's why we love this stage.
🎞 Animations: a logistical madness
Organizing the animation workflow has been a real challenge. With over 120 scenes in the project, planning the animation pipeline is a whole separate ordeal. Prioritizing, figuring out which scenes need refinement, which can be delegated, and which should be put on hold—all of this requires constant coordination.
We're building a system that allows us to stay flexible without losing momentum. It's not easy, but the first results are already inspiring—the scenes are coming to life right before our eyes.
🧠 Update 48’s script: branching paths
Meanwhile, we’ve started work on the script for update 48. It's in the rough planning stage, and right now, we're facing a crucial choice: should the story lean toward victory or defeat? Both paths are interesting, both full of drama and consequences. We need to decide what we want this update to say, what emotion to embed in its finale. The debates are raging!
🧑🎨 A new artist & the revival of "Camelot"
While recruiting NSFW artists, we found someone who didn’t just fit the portfolio - they inspired us. Thanks to their vision and energy, we’ve revived "Camelot", a project that had been shelved for a long time. It’s another example of how fresh talent can breathe new life into old ideas.
📌 What’s next?
For the next few days, our sole focus is polishing update 47 for release. All hands are on deck: refining, testing, tweaking, and tweaking again. We want the final result to truly delight you.
Thanks for sticking with us - it only gets more exciting from here. 💜
