๐ŸŒ™ NORMENHILL - February 2025 Devlog ๐ŸŒ™

Hoi everyone, this is the first devlog for this game! From now on I will publish them every month and will tell in them what I have done during this time.

First, I'm working on the story for the full version of Chapter 1, as well as on the differences in it depending on the path of the walkthrough. But I will not write about it (otherwise, you know, spoilers, it won't be interesting, all that ...)


Now let's move on to some new things:

โœจ Title cards

I added title cards at the beginning of each location with their name and some decorations showing what will be in them.

โ™ฆ๏ธ New menu design

I completely redesigned the menu, and also changed the save function. Some people said that it was inconvenient to open the menu and save there every time after interacting with a save point, so now the game will save automatically after interaction with it.


๐Ÿ–ค โ€‹โ€‹Battle Changes

I've removed the retro battle mode where your turn would automatically start after your opponents' turn had finished, which could sometimes be frustrating if you weren't prepared for it.

๐ŸŒธ New location

The background of one of the new locations. This is a forest location, which will be larger than the wood at the very beginning of Act I, with a lot of platforming sections and obstacles to overcome.


๐ŸŽฎ And that's probably all

I'll continue working on the game and adding new content to it. I wanna say thanks to everyone who follows it and supports it. In my promised video about the game's development, I will ONLY talk about the version that has only Act I, 2 battle modes and slightly different graphics, sounds and sometimes gameplay. See you in that video and in the next devlogs and regular posts!

"Will the game be available on mobiles?"

This is one of the most frequently asked questions that my audience never seems to leave me alone with (mostly from the Russian-speaking audience (and a couple of my friends)). It seems it's worth listening to.

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

Hoi everyone, I just woke up. Today I turned 17. (Happy bday to me)
