Hello!

Chapter 2 is about 70% complete! It's currently in a "rough draft" phase, meaning that most of the game events and dialogues are implemented. However, there is still a lot of placeholder content that needs to be finished. In the following paragraphs I will go into more details on what's left to do until release.

Time for one last swim and then we jump into the spookiest season!

Chapter 2 Development

The Peak

As many of you already know from the previous devlogs, Chapter 2 will consist of a dangerous climb. You will be traversing the rocky terrain of the Mushroom Cliffs in search for the mysterious Gloomshroom. As you slowly inch yourself closer to the peak, the time draws near for some of the most dramatic and eventful moments in the game!

A serene place... which holds horrors beyond your wildest nightmares!

Cinematics

Chapter 2 will have some of the best cutscenes thus far! Ranging from heartwarming to outright nightmare fuel! The characters will get a chance to show their true colors, as actions often times speak louder than words. I will spend the following months working and polishing them to perfection. They will be a bit lengthier than usual as well. Also for all of you romance enjoyers out there, you're in for a treat! A good bunch of them are really fun!

Conclusion

The initial plan was to release the new chapter by the end of the year, sadly I will have to delay it until Q1 2024. I apologize for this inconvenience. Please note that while I always try to give my best estimates, they can be shorter or longer than expected. Currently I'm working on one of the most important parts of the game and I want to make sure they're done right. It is also to ensure that everything is bug free and polished. I ask you all for a bit more patience, it will be worth the wait!

Thank you all for your continued support!

Best regards,
