Writing on Arc One has finished. Here's what I got done since the last devlog: Wrote 9 Chapters By setting weekly writing goals, even at my notoriously slow pace I managed to finish writing the rest of Arc One. There are eight more Arcs after this, so it will probably be quite a long development journey. However, this will be the last time I work on only one Arc at a time — my plan is to start working on Arcs in pairs after the development of Arc One is done, starting with Ar

Writing on Motives continues. Here's what I got done since the last devlog: Wrote 2 Chapters Composed two music tracks The reason it took most of the month to just write a few chapters is that the prologue is pretty long and quite complicated. You'll see why when you play it. ;) However, the chapters will not be that long going forward. Motives is going back to the shorter, snappy, snackable chapter lengths of MTDC for the most part. Despite not getting many chapters written

As I mentioned in my 15 Year Anniversary post, there are 9 Arcs planned for Motives. Though I've spent most of the past few months working on things like the Prison of Lies translation and recovering from the development of Canada Files, I was also working a bit on Motives. Here's what I have done so far: Outlined Arc One Designed two characters Composed one music track Set up the engine workflow in Unity with a simple test Just a reminder that the "Sprites" tracker in my pro

File 06's development is nearing completion. What I worked on since the last update: Finished all backgrounds Finished all CGs Composed 4 new music tracks Completed writing revisions As of yesterday, I've completed work on all the CGs in File 06 — which ended up being around 60 in total. Now the work that remains is music, additional polish, and the translation. It feels great to be so close to completing this multi-year project at last. I hope you're looking forward to File

File 06's development continues into the new year! What I worked on since the last update: Blocked out all backgrounds, finished 15 Rendered placeholders for CGs, unfinished backgrounds Made another music track Conducted playtests Last month my main goal was working on all those backgrounds — I'm pleased to say that I am very close to completing them, and that the remaining ones just need a few additional props and lighting. My new workflow of doing multiple passes of every b

Characters are finished! What I worked on since the last update: Finished the designs and sprites for the characters Coded the game to a "playable" state Finished File 06 UI recoloring This month went by super quickly, and after designing the characters went so slowly, I've realized I really need to ramp up my productivity if I want File 06 to be released in early 2026. So I've been pushing myself to work more, and have just finished make the File fully "playable" — I'm now a

I have finished writing File 06! What I worked on since the last update: Finished writing File 06 Created 2 music tracks Designed 3 characters Well, it took a little longer than I thought, but I finished writing File 06, which means that The Canada Files is now fully written. I can finally move on to the other parts of the process, which are still difficult but not nearly as much of a struggle to get myself to do. I'm pretty excited about it— it's a dark and dramatic finale.
