Devlog #46 - A Solid Plan

A long…long…..time ago, we mentioned our rehaul of the NPC schedule system. Up until now, we haven’t had a chance to implement any NPCs outside of making sure the system works. Now that the bare bones storyline is playable, I’ve been working on implementing getting a select few NPCs alive and running.

Devlog #44 - Fur-niture

We used to have our stuff simply labelled “Exterior” and “Interior”. You can see how that becomes a nightmare really, really fast. A table that can be placed outdoors and indoors…which folder does it go in? I dunno.

Devlog #37 - Loading…

Anyways, that aside, we have been working on some detail-oriented things in September. Stuff that you won’t really notice in the game, but if we didn’t do it, you would definitely notice. My favorite kind of work to do 😥

Devlog #34 - Hot Cat Summer

Whew, we just had a nice little heat wave hit us in the pacific northwest. Half a week from this past month was spent doing absolutely nothing trying to keep ourselves (and the cats) cool. It wasn’t very fun. However, there are still some fun things we can show you from June!
