As always you can watch us build the game live on Twitch.
- RURU language has not been updated past Fern/Rhode in Animus.
- Our translator lives in Moscow and cannot be paid due to the war.
- Once we have a way of fixing this the RURU translation will move forward.
Known Issues
- Sheldons storyline has been finished and implemented.
There are a few different routes here and it took some time to get it feeling right. Really happy with the outcome. As a writer I have found Sheldon and Shelly to be the most difficult to write for. I have very little personal experience that relates to their personalities and life perspective. They have ideas and behaviors far outside of what is normal for me. To help out with this I talked to a lot of people I know that have similar feelings to these characters. The more I learn about people the easier it is to write a facsimile of them effectively. Hope you like how it's come together!

These rooms are mirrors of the Muspelheim environments with completely different characters, art, and storyline. I was planning on working on the Slums for Muspelheim this month but I think it's a better direction to keep both Niflheim and Muspelheim at the same level progress…Patch 1.0.9.656This is the monthly update build for July 2026. This month I focused on the Throne Room of Muspelheim. This room will be your first interaction with Muus and will set the stage for the rest of the world. Story in this chapter is a lot more straight forward than in Animus so it's going to go fast. Most of my time spent in this world is in environment design and slapstick humor. It's so much easi…Patch 1.0.9.655This is the monthly update build for June 2026. This month I focused on finishing the first room for Muspelheim as well as internal tooling. The "Firepipes" room is now completely done as a result and I now have tools for localization to help into the future.
