⏳ A Quick Update About the Demo Release
We want to start this week with an important update — and an apology.
We originally planned to release the demo by the end of February. However, we now need to move the release to the first week of March.
The reason is something we believe is worth it.
Initially, the demo was planned to be English-only. But as development progressed, we decided to include additional languages in the demo so more of you could experience it in your native language.
Integrating multiple languages brought additional work and a few unexpected technical complications. Because of that, we needed a bit more time to ensure everything works properly and feels polished.
Thank you for your patience — this extra time is being used to make the demo stronger and more complete.
Now, here’s what happened this week.
Caty
All required weekly and monthly Patreon visuals have been completed and are scheduled for release.
Work has begun on upcoming seasonal and long-term event content.
Foundational visual structures for Chapter II have been established.
Development isn’t slowing down — we’re building ahead while finalizing the demo.
Asteria
New animations have been successfully integrated into the build.
The demo now supports 6 languages, all fully integrated into the system.
Following the addition of languages and animations, QA testing is ongoing to ensure stability across all versions.
The demo is becoming more robust with every iteration.
Zrk
Newly created frame-based demo animations have been converted into video format and fully rendered.
Music planning and scene placement adjustments are ongoing.
All translations have been reviewed, organized, and delivered to Asteria for final integration.
Everything is aligning piece by piece.
❤️ Final Thoughts
We understand delays are never ideal — especially when you're waiting to play.
But this adjustment allows us to release a demo that represents the quality and inclusivity we’re aiming for. Adding multiple languages is something we truly care about, and we’re glad we’re able to make it happen.
Thank you for sticking with us.
We’re very close now — and we can’t wait to put the demo in your hands.
