Hey, everyone! Merry Christmas, or happy holidays! Today I've got an update for you on what's been going on and what's planned for the future.

First, I'm going to be rescheduling these devlogs. I said I'll be posting updates monthly, but instead of doing that I've just been posting stuff I wanted to share with no particular schedule. But from now on I will be posting an update on the 15th of every month. There may be a few teasers or announcements in between, but all of the major goodies will be in the updates released on the 15th.

Now, then. What's been going on with the game?

I've decided to step away from the minigames for now, and work on more important parts of the game.

The past week or 2 I've been reworking on travelling around the building. It's not fully functional right now, but it does the job for now. Here's a screenshot of how it looks so far.

I'm still playing around with this, so it will look a little different when it's done. The screen is somewhat animated. I had some issues trying to apply a better effect to the screen, but I think what I've got right now works pretty well.

We added a new room: the entrance. We even changed the layout of the building entirely. This is because the layout of the building conflicted with what the building looked like from the outside, and I wanted to fix that. Along with this new room, there may be a new character. I haven't entirely decided if they will make an appearance in the game yet. But if I do put 'em in you'll see them in the next update.

I've started to add some tutorials around the game. These tutorials only show up once. Once you see them, they'll be gone forever. (Unless you reinstall the game.) I thought it would be helpful since some things may be confusing to some at first. (For example: the minigames.)

I've been working a little bit on the OST. So far I've worked on 2 tracks. One of them is nearly complete, and the other one needs a LOT more work. As for other tracks, I don’t quite have the equipment to make them yet. I'll need an Audio Interface, but I don’t have the money for one of those yet. Hopefully I'll get one sometime soon.

That's all I've got for now. This will probably be my last post for the year, so I wanna say some words.

Thank you for your support, it means a lot to me. We're nearly at 300 followers, which is crazy. I never expected that many people would be interested in my stupid fun project. So, thank you. I am so excited to share this game with all of you.

See you in 2023!
