Hey everyone,
The game is in the final stages of development, we are currently polishing the gameplay and level design and putting the finishing touches on the animations, storyline, dialogue, and voice acting. We wanted to share a quick team update on what we've been working on and say thank you to everyone who's been testing, reporting bugs, and hanging out with us in Discord. Your feedback directly shapes what we fix and what we build next.

Our latest demo build focuses on fixes and quality-of-life improvements:
We rebuilt our font setup for multilingual UI — including improved support for CJK and Cyrillic text. Several display issues in play mode (mixed glyph weights, broken characters on certain screens) have been addressed. We are still refining this system to ensure that all of the game's languages are flawlessly supported, so please feel free to share your thoughts on the translations and fonts.
SDK initialization is more resilient. Failures during boot are now handled gracefully with proper error feedback instead of leaving players stuck on a loading screen.
We've seen reports about this issue and spent a long time trying to figure out the cause. Now it will be easier to catch these kinds of errors if you send us the logs (there are now instructions in the game on how to do this).
Fixed menu UI appearing over the loading screen during scene transitions. Gamepad navigation in the skin shop has been improved and non-interactable items are skipped, and the list scrolls to keep your selection visible.
Improved crash reporting and log collection tools to help us track and resolve issues faster. Microphone selection edge cases and various display/resolution quirks have also been patched.
We're actively developing player-created content support for Friendly Steps:
We use Steam Workshop for custom content (starting with custom hats)
In-game Hat Creator — import a 3D model and texture, preview your creation, and publish to Workshop
[Spoiler]: Scenario/Map Editor — We'll share more about this later, stay tuned!
Some of this is already integrated internally; we're preparing to roll it out after release.
Whether you're playing the demo, testing new levels, or just cheering us on from the sidelines — it matters. Keep the feedback coming. We read it. We act on it.
