The final hours of 2025

Hey everyone, I survived Christmas! And I didn't become insane... at least not any more than I was before. That's a win in my books. I spent quite a lot of time with the family, especially my parents.

changedI spent quite a lot of time with the family, especially my parents. The chances were pretty high that I wouldn't be able to earlier this year (some people may remember the reason from the dev logs from the first half of the year). Overall, the year could've gone better, but also a lot worse. I managed to put out Chapter 7 before the end of the year, which was very important for me to achieve. I don't want those long dev cycles, and the ~6 months of Chapter 7 felt borderline too long. I'd prefer them to be shorter. And I'm not even talking about Chapter 6.
addedI want to say thank you for all your support, for all the nice conversations on Discord, for all the reviews you guys put on Steam to help me out, and for all your help spreading the word in general. I appreciate all of that a lot, and I consider myself extremely lucky that there are so many people out there who like what I'm doing. Stay safe out there and have a great start to the new year. Cheers, Ceo

I spent a bit of time planning Chapter 8 throughout Christmas. The usual stuff I do at the start of a dev cycle... scenes and story points I have/want to include, possible additional side scenes, and so on. I'm still in the process of doing that (and writing the first scenes), so more details will have to wait for the first "official" Dev log of Chapter 8, early next year.
