changedChapter 2's Development We mentioned in the last update that Chapter 2 moved into full development in April 2024. However, in June 2024, our team decided to put development on pause for personal reasons. While development continued through the rest of the year, it was very slow and only as we were available. Our original intention was to have Chapter 2 in a similar spot as Chapter 1 by the end of the year, but we unfortunately needed to shift our plans. By the end of 2024, the content for Chapter 2 is roughly 20% done. Starting in 2025, our team is fully back working at the faster pace again. We have been working on the main dungeon of Chapter 2 over the last week as of writing, and it's coming together really well! I am really excited to share it when it is ready!
changedLiz's in game development is still early, but here is a look at her battle idle animation!
addedPlan for 2025 and Beyond Our team has made a more structured plan on how we will finish this game. We will not announce a release year/date until we are 100% confident in it. I can for sure say the game will not release in 2025, and it is unlikely to release in 2026. We are making the team's biggest game ever, and we always intended for it to take a good number of years to complete, regardless of any internal delays. It is very important to us to put out a quality game. With the new plan in place, our game should move forward at a better pace.

Hi everyone! Today, we would like to share the latest updates on the development of WORLD ENDS WEDNESDAY! It has been a while since we last did one of these, so we have a little bit of recapping to do!

Our First Trailer Debut! Back in June 2024, our team shared our first trailer for WORLD ENDS WEDNESDAY in Paperverse 2024! Take a look if you haven't seen it yet!

Nashville Game Dev Demo Day 2024 We showcased a build of our game for the first time to the public late last year! We got such an overwhelming amount of love from this demo, and gave our team a giant motivation boost. We were so happy to see people love what we have been making, and hope to meet their expectations with the final game!

Chapter 1 Is Beatable Around the same time as Paperverse 2024, we reached a point with Chapter 1 where it was content complete in terms of the main story. We still have plans to implement side quests and a handful of other things, but the main story is fully playable and beatable.

Chapter 2's Development We mentioned in the last update that Chapter 2 moved into full development in April 2024. However, in June 2024, our team decided to put development on pause for personal reasons. While development continued through the rest of the year, it was very slow and only as we were available. Our original intention was to have Chapter 2 in a similar spot as Chapter 1 by the end of the year, but we unfortunately needed to shift our plans. By the end of 2024, the content for Chapter 2 is roughly 20% done. Starting in 2025, our team is fully back working at the faster pace again. We have been working on the main dungeon of Chapter 2 over the last week as of writing, and it's coming together really well! I am really excited to share it when it is ready!

Party Member 3 - Liz In Chapter 2, we are introducing the third party member, Liz! She is a member of the Lemur Trio, and acts as the team's potion maker! She has the ability to buff and heal party members by throwing potions at them. She can also throw potions at enemies, which can lead them them having different status effects! Try to experiment with her to make battles the most efficient.

Liz's in game development is still early, but here is a look at her battle idle animation!

Plan for 2025 and Beyond Our team has made a more structured plan on how we will finish this game. We will not announce a release year/date until we are 100% confident in it. I can for sure say the game will not release in 2025, and it is unlikely to release in 2026. We are making the team's biggest game ever, and we always intended for it to take a good number of years to complete, regardless of any internal delays. It is very important to us to put out a quality game. With the new plan in place, our game should move forward at a better pace.

That is all for today's Progress Update! WORLD ENDS WEDNESDAY has a very exciting year ahead of it! We thank everyone for their patience in us, and we hope to deliver a game that is worth the wait! For more updates from our studio, follow our BlueSky!

Until next time!
