Monthly Dev Log #19

Hey everyone,

We’re back at the office! We hope you all had a cozy holiday season and a great start to 2026 🎄​🎆​

One of the first things we realized after getting back to work: the release of Map Map is THIS year! 😯 Yes, the year has only just begun, but still, THIS year! We’re sooo excited! 🥳​🤩​

Before the holidays, we were able to accomplish the following:

🎮 Gameplay

• More intense testing of islands

🎨 Art 

• Created the UI graphics for controller support 🎮

• Designed more input hints for KBM and controllers

• Started working on concept and assets for Raven’s murals

• Rendered Rue’s character expressions (still WIP)

🖥️ Programming

• Finished controller support (yay!) 🥳

• Polished and fixed a lot for the closed playtest

• Made the UI pretty and ready for controllers ✨

• Started fixing the first few bugs reported during the playtest 🛠️

💬 Other

Have a wonderful week! ❄️​🤗​
