Huh. I finished it.
🕑 Added 2025-08-25 22:33:52 +0000 UTCFor the past week and a half I've been on an absolute tear writing for the game. When I finished the Daniel and Cat chapter, I thought, what if I just kept going? What if I just maintained this momentum? Apparently the end result is that I finish the game.
Don't get me wrong, there's still a lot left to do even though I finished writing the dialogue. The script is utterly littered with placeholders, doesn't have any facial expressions or voice tones tagged, and is absolutely not going to be part of the September 1 update. But we should be looking at a complete end to end playable game for the October 1 update. So we're actually on track for that roadmap that I posted earlier!
So on September 1, you'll be getting the Cat and Daniel chapter, and then as the year goes on we'll be finishing out the content and filling in placeholders. We're on track for a January release.
(even if I had all of the assets and all of the editing and all of the bug testing done, I think we should still wait for January for the actual release. The rest of 2025 is looking like a murderers row of a game of the year candidates and I'd rather not fight them head on.)
Of course, me being me, I'm going to have a hard time just sort of sitting there not writing things. So I haven't exactly decided what I'm going to do, either dive back into the arcade spirits book, or start design work on the next game project. Either way, you'll be getting exclusive inside looks. If it's the book, then you're going to get early drafts ahead of everyone else. If the game, I'll be discussing it more here. I've already discussed it a little bit on discord just to make sure that I was on the right track with the idea.
Thank you for your support. Even though the last word is written, there's still much more to do.
