🕑 Added 2025-04-12 04:19:32 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Today's release (0.5.32) is a technical update focused on two major improvements: animations and multi-platform support.
Before you dive in, I want to be completely clear: this update does not advance the story.

What's In This Update?
This release focuses entirely on:
Animations for existing scenes
Android and Mac compatibility
Various technical optimizations
Story Content Coming Soon
If you're waiting for story progression, you'll want to wait for the next update (coming in about a week - I'll confirm the exact date soon). This release is specifically dedicated to technical improvements and additional support.
The Technical Challenge
What seemed straightforward initially became extremely hard! In fact, I considered delaying again but since I already postponed once... I wanted to get this in your hands.
Multi-Platform Support
Getting the game working on Android presented several challenges:
Had to develop multiple workarounds for shader compatibility
Tested primarily in emulators (fingers crossed for real device performance!)
Significantly compressed assets while maintaining quality
Despite adding animations, you might notice the file size is actually smaller. That's the result of aggressive optimization to make cross-platform support viable.
Animation Implementation
This was the most labor-intensive part:
Created dozens of animations for key scenes
They're at ~80% polish level (looping issues, some minor tracking issues, lacking some minor details like the moles)
First serious attempt to use AI with manual post-processing to make this feasible and efficcient
These animations are being released as an experiment to gather feedback. For a solo developer, animations can become a development trap, so I want to evaluate if they add enough value before committing to full polish and if the general approach works.
Next Steps
I already have some content prepared for the next story update, but not nearly enough for a complete release yet. I'll be working hard on that next while gathering your feedback on this technical update.
I hope you can appreciate the effort that went into these improvements, even if they're not advancing the narrative this time around. Your feedback on the animations will be valuable, as well as feedback on multi-platform support.
As always, this is an early preview - please let me know if you encounter any issues!
Thanks for your continued support and patience! π
Cheers,
Tori
P.S. Remember that animations can be toggled off in the settings if you prefer the static images!

Absolutely stunning artwork and animations, I would gladly wait and continue support as a platinum for updates like this even if it passes the 2 week mark. Keep the vision Tori, people will complain no matter what

Just quickly went through to see how it would test on mobile and it was fine I was actually shocked becuase alot of devs try this and end up running into a problem but you smashed it everything was great and I loved the animations! Makes the games π― better Can't wait to see more of these animations in the future updates thank you for your hard work.

I understand the need to clear some technical debt but I as a platinum supporter since the hiatus I wish we could just get to some proper NTS already.
