I HAVE A COOL DOUMEI-ADJACENT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR Y'ALL TODAY!!!

Heliotrope, the short story from which our lovely guide and mascot Shiratama hails, has been picked up for publication by OFIC Magazine!!!

Heliotrope will be included in Issue #3, which launches on October 1! You'll be able to buy a digital or physical copy then via their store, or if you're impatient, you can preorder a copy via their patreon. SO GO DO THAT!! GO GO GO!!!

"feral that's great but what about actual gamedev news" WELL, IN TERMS OF ACTUAL GAMEDEV NEWS, the second to last segment of the final dungeon is nearing completion (maps are done, enemies are programmed, 75% of events are implemented).

Also, as you can see from the above screencap, Shiratama will have actual talk sprites in v1.00. YAY.
