🧜‍♀️ Mermaid Stage [Update: 8/1/2025]

🎮 July Progress Report

Hi everyone!

I'm Saori UTSUMI, the jack-of-all-trades at Birdkin Studio, currently working on Curry Princess GOLD.

Thank you so much for your continued support!

Here’s a quick update on what we got done in July.

✅ Progress Highlights

• Story Mode system is now 95% complete (+15% from last month)

• Player state machine (refactored): 95% complete

• AddedStage development4 out of X stages are now playable (1 more added this month)

This month, we added a few exciting features, including new vegetable items and appearances by rare monsters!

🎯 Goals & Progress

Our July goal was to finish the in-progress Mermaid Stage.

We’d say we’ve reached about 80% of that goal.

Here’s what’s still in progress:

• Many of Lavender’s animations are still placeholders—we plan to replace them soon

• There are still some bugs in the animated background we’re debugging

• We wanted to make the bridge art more 3D-like, but that will have to wait until this month

August Goal:

Fully complete all 4 current stages, including effects and polish.

If we have the time and energy, we’ll also start prepping the event build ahead of schedule!

🖼️ Sneak Peek: Mermaid Stage in Development!

Here’s a screenshot from the Mermaid Stage we’ve been working on throughout July.

Note: This is a work-in-progress image and may change in the final version.

Meet Lavender, the mermaid.

She’s a bit mysterious, and a singer-songwriter by trade.

Even the Curry Princess can’t help but be enchanted by her songs...

...and when Lavender notices the princess listening so intently, she’s a little surprised!

🌊 Final Note

That’s a wrap for our July update!

We’re steadily making progress, and still having fun with development.

Thanks as always for your support—please look forward to what’s next!
