Woah, another progress update in the same month, what is this, actually good dev updates from the developer? (laugh track here, you're supposed to laugh)

jokes aside I have quite a few things to share regarding World of Freaking Goo, all positive you'll be excited to hear, so Instead of making you wait, lets get into it!

ALL MAIN PARTY SKILLS ARE DONE!

This is the big thing for me, as this means any changes done to the party going forward will be balance changes regarding synergy with everyone and interactions with each other, instead of just a fraction of the party like before, Which is really huge for me.

CHAPTER 3 IS COMING ALONG SMOOTHLY!

A First for WoFG development, Historically Chapter 3/Island 3 has been a trouble spot for literally any version of WoFG i've created (that's come out, GBC/MV was techincally my 2nd attempt at porting WoFG to RPG Maker MV, THAT ended on Chapter 1/Island 1 before giving up on it, tangent over) because I'm telling you I will just take like a month or two long break from working on the game as soon as I make it here It's like a curse, It almost happened here but things I'd rather not go into happened, and WoFG has been an escape for me, so I've been put out of the slump faster than normal, which I think is good the game gets to exist faster.

CHAPTER 4 & EPILOGUE ARE ALL STORY AND STRUCTURE COMPLETE

This is probably the biggest news in terms of the game's main content if I'm being honest, while their content and maps are NOT made, I haven't just suddenly gone out of chapter order thats not like me to do that, both of them are story complete, so I know what the story beats are gonna be, and what character interactions and plot developments will be in both, and its structure complete, meaning I know how the Chapters will play out gameplay wise, It's just a matter of putting that INTO the game which will still probably take awhile, at least for Chapter 4.

THE GAMES POST GAME CONTENT IS BEING FINALIZED

The Ideas for it, anyways, WoFG is gonna have quite a lot of post game content for you to sink your teeth into, at least planned, some of this might get scrapped I don't wanna go overboard with post game content, but the post game has a lot of fun ideas I'm excited to make once I get to that point, I should say this now Post Game Content actually means you have to beat the game to experience it now btw, its not "oh you made it to the final boss the entire game now has a ton of content you can do" no you have to beat the final boss to experience this, there's still gonna be Bonus Content before the final boss, but that's different to the Post Game Content

All in all, I don't want to give a deadline because I know this'll make me rush the game and there'll be obvious oversights or just unfinished things I missed if I do, but I feel confident in a 2025 release date, at WORST the game comes out Late 2026, at WORST I feel, The Post Game Content shouldn't delay the game's release too much, and I'll cut back on some of it if it is. Either way, The game's coming along great, I'm super excited to get this out, I might roll out another balance patch for the demo, but nothing major has been done just tweaked Ivy slightly, so I'll leave it as is.
