Release date update

I wanted to share a quick update about Serene Ponds. Development has been going really well, but as I’ve continued polishing the core systems and adding new features, it’s become clear the game needs a little more time to reach the standard I’m aiming for.

Rather than rushing it out, I’ve decided to move the release window to 2026. This gives me time to properly finish the seasonal system, polish the pond customization tools, and make sure the experience truly captures that calm, creative atmosphere the game’s all about.

The demo and devlogs will continue to be updated as progress is made, so you’ll still see updates on the game. I recently uploaded a video which was a behind the scenes of my 3d modelling process, and I'll soon be updating the look of the frogs, so checkout my YouTube for that!

Thank you so much for your patience and support, it really does make a huge difference. Serene Ponds has grown into something I’m genuinely proud of, and I can’t wait to share the finished version with you next year.
