Monthly Update (August 2025)
Hello everyone, happy August! I've actually been writing monthly devlogs for quite a long time, and I realize now that I've been a little neglectful by not uploading them here! People who only follow me on Steam probably don't know that I'm actively working on the games I have uploaded here 😂 If you're interested in reading my devlogs for previous months, you can find them on my Patreon page, but I'll also be uploading them here from now on. I'll write up a more thorough status update for each WIP Steam page I have uploaded at a later date, as well as an overview of all the projects that I'm working on, but as a quick rundown for the games I have Steam pages for: My Husband is a Stranger: The first half of the game is complete (about 2 hours of playtime).

The backgrounds are about 75% complete. The script and VA are 100% done, and I'm currently working on the visual assets. I'm looking to fully release this game in Q1-Q2 2026. The Deepwater Witch: Since I put up the Steam page, this game has also gone through quite a few changes, including the game engine change mentioned previously (from Godot to Ren'py). I also hired a background artist to update some of the backgrounds I felt were lacking. The script and most of the visual assets for this game have actually been complete for quite some time, but I took a step back from it because I'm a little unhappy with certai...Read full article on Community Announcements (chattercap)AnnouncementsOfficial
