For answers to questions regarding fanmade content, such as videos/streaming, fanart, and the like, please see the content usage policy.

Q: Full game release date?

✮ Uhhh... before the end of 2027? Probably?

Q: How much will the full game cost?

✮ Currently planning on charging around $10 USD for it. A free demo will be available.

Q: How can I keep up with development?

✮ I post a devlog on the game's itch.io page (which will soon also be archived on this website).

I humbly ask for your patience and understanding regarding my overall slow rate of progress and communication; due to my health, I have an extremely low general energy level, so regular upkeep of social media is very difficult for me.

Q: What platforms will the game be available on?

✮ Windows and Linux first (via Steam/itch.io). The game will have controller support as well.

If the game ends up bringing in enough revenue for me to do so, then I will be happy to pay the price of the Apple dev license, and release ports of the game for Mac... but, not until then, because... OUCH, it's expensive.

Q: Can I play this on a potato computer?

✮ Yes. The game will not be graphically demanding whatsoever.

Q: Are you looking for any additional team members to help you work on the game?

✮ Not at this time.

Q: What engine/software do you use?

✮

• Game engine: RPGMaker MZ
• Music/SFX: LMMS
• Artwork/animations: IbisPaint X and Procreate on an iPad. While all graphics used ingame are drawn and animated in IbisPaint X, some promo art is instead drawn in Procreate.
