November 2025 Update

Hi everyone, hope you're doing well! November has been another busy and tiring month for me- with tons of stressful work from my day job- but gamedev-wise, it's a month of much progress, and we have some exciting announcements!

Without further ado, here's the agenda for this month's devlog!

Agenda:

• Lynnette's Birthday!
• CGs sneak peek!
• Soundtrack + Original Song Progress
• Inventory system + Scripting Progress
• We're coming to Singapore Comic Con 2025! (Collaboration with arisuix)

Lynnette's Birthday! 🎉

11th November is our one and only chaotic pink-haired gremlin, so happy belated birthday, Lynnette! 💕

CG Sneak Peek

April is done with the 2 CGs we'll be showing in the extended/updated demo, expected to release somewhere in the end of December.

Here are some sneak peeks of the CGs! (they're not the full illustration... but perhaps you can see MORE sneak peeks if you follow our socials (https://linktr.ee/elseth), hehe.)

Drooling Neim... lmao... (I should probably make a scene where Neim drools on Rico's shoulder XD)

Anyway, April did a wonderful job with these two CGs, they look absolutely gorgeous!

Soundtrack + Original Songs Progress

Mijil is done with a new soundtrack, tentatively called Happy Music 2!

He's also working on an original song for the trailer music, and we've hired a vocalist to sing it! I'm so excited for you to listen to it, it absolutely encapsulates the game's upbeat theme, and the vocalist has a wonderful voice!

If you've read the first chapter of Phoenix's route, we're also working on The Siren's Ocean Reverie song, and have hired a vocalist/voice actor that has voiced a few characters in my old projects before. Can't wait to show how it turns out!

Inventory System Progress

I've coded the inventory system (placeholder UIs for now), so we're ready to collect items along the way! Expect a workable system in the updated demo!

I've also scripted Lynne and the assassin's expressions, so Lynne shouldn't be flat-colored now. All that's left is Meia's sprites!
