To start, I want to give a warm thank you to everyone who has played the demo! I appreciate each and every single one of you, and I want you to know that your support means the world!
This is my first game, and every single play session, comment, and bit of feedback means the world to me. Your support keeps me motivated while I work on bringing this project to life. I truly appreciate each and every one of you! I have read your posts on the discussion pages, and I want to let you know that I'll be taking all feedback into consideration, and implementing as need be, to make sure this is the best experience for you as it can possibly be.
To acknowledge some of your comments, I'd like to explain a few things:
The timer is there because the game is still in active development. I wanted to give you all a proper way to experience what’s already built without running into unfinished areas, placeholders, or repetitive content that might feel boring. Of course, once the game is released to the public, the timer will be removed, and the demo will have a more natural ending off point.
Lots of new Huglets! Many fresh faces have been added, and I’m introducing more almost every day. Allow me to introduce a few:
HUGLET
NAME
TYPE
DESCRIPTION
GLITZ
LIGHT
A flashy gyaru panda Huglet who sparkles brighter than anyone else in the room. The glamorous counterpart to her creepie sister, she strikes poses with star-covered confidence and loves dazzling her Maker with shiny accessories and over-the-top compliments.
NOCT
DARK
A shadowy curious Huglet who prowls the night in her signature trench coat and tilted cap. With a sharp grin, and private eyes, she investigates mysterious cases for her Maker, always ready with a clever quip and a trail of red curls behind her.
PATCHI
LIGHT
A stitched-up Huglet who shines with a gentle light. She carries her mischievous patched rabbit companion everywhere, and loves waving excitedly at her Maker, even though her button eyes and loose stitches sometimes make her look a little more spooky than funny.
ECTOPOM
SPECTRE
Created in the image of one of the goddesses, this Huglet often uses it's wrappings as either a pillow or a blanket to sleep whenever it so chooses. It adapts the slumberous dormancy of the gods, despite having none of the same power.
CHAMPETTE
FIGHTING
A fiery, unstoppable Huglet who lives for the roar of the crowd. She likes to throw playful punches that pack a surprising amount of power. She's always ready to train with her Maker, or step into the ring, to prove she’s the undisputed champ of hugs and heart.
Huglets feel more alive than ever — There’s now a Talk button so you can actually chat with them!
(there will be actual full body sprites of the huglets during the talking screens)
Major Quality of Life improvements:
Much better in-game explanations for mechanics
New Pause Menu + H-Gallery for easy access to scenes
Completely overhauled breeding mechanics more in-line with the lore (with minigames too)
The Huglets aren’t the only characters you’ll meet. Soon you’ll get to know the Makers: the humans who own and care for Huglets just like you. You’ll be able to talk with them… and yes, give them some loving if you want (‾◡◝)
I’m working hard to make sure the full launch is packed with content, fully polished, and free of any bugs. Of course, even after launch I'll still be here providing new content, but on August 20th you will have the full complete game to enjoy. In the meantime, keep an eye on the demo; more updates are coming regularly!
Wishlist Stuff It! on Steam so you don’t miss the launch! Also, if you want, follow me on Twitter! I am a one-person development team, and while I do post a lot of wacky things unrelated to the game, I also will post development and updates on the game.
Thank you again for all the support. This game wouldn’t exist without you. Can’t wait to share more soon!
