June Roadmap

VItheSixth here, for an update on Arcana Squires!

While Chapter 1 is complete and the simple Bond conversation system is implemented, the May roadmap isn't close to done. Unfortunately I got sidetracked by a number of things throughout the month, including other Game Jams scheduled for June.

Our objective for June would be to release a new demo build containing the following additions:

• Chapter 1 (both versions), where you play as the de-powered heroines
• The game's first bond conversation, unlocked by choosing either version of Chapter 1
• New portraits added to existing cutscenes
• Minor corrections in the script and item stats

It's not much, but it should be a net improvement from the current game jam build.

In the meantime, I'll be working on the "Love is Unconventional" game jam spanning from June to mid-August. The objective is simple: to make a game where you can date a non-humanoid character. You can learn more here!

I'll take this opportunity to breathe new life into my previous work. How? By turning the villainess into a sock while still playing the gothic horror and dark romance aspects completely straight.

Don't believe me? Here's a sneak peek courtesy of mouflonn, the artist who joined me on this project! Shared with their permission, of course.

Ridiculous, right? It had me wheezing for five whole minutes when I first saw it. But I mean it in the best way possible. This is absolutely gorgeous work. I cannot wait to write scenes for this evil goober.

Stay tuned for next month!
