  Alrighty, brief update because frankly, not a lot has changed, or at least not nearly enough to prevent a delay to release. Two weeks delay, I'm afraid. I want to have a simultaneous release on Itch a... Continue reading

  Just a very general update, currently all the game's 3D rooms are largely done with some props still to be made, which is very quick but best done focussed so I can make a lot at once, the main assets... Continue reading

  Alright, another fortnight, another devlog! The goal for this week of work was a bit of a jumpscare, as I realized that I had not, in fact, finished modelling the entire cast. That said, the teachers... Continue reading

  #devlog, #progress, #or the lack thereof

  Apologies for the delays on this latest devlog, but I genereally only like doing them when I have something finished and I simply don't. It was bound to happen eventually and I have set aside extra ti... Continue reading

  The playable build launch is still a week or so out, as I badly underestimated how much time a given CG would take, as they are quite elaborate. Also, given this underestimation in scope, I am adjusti... Continue reading
