Hello everyone!

There wasn't any news since way way long ago, but now I'm back with a ton of updates, both good and bad. This devlog was originally meant to be published exactly a month ago, it's funny how some of the news of that time don't feel like news to me anymore, but nevertheless they are to you all.

Here's the plan: first the positives, then the negatives, then some unrelated life updates, lastly some new screenshots and game content. In short, even though we as the team had our problems, I think the game may be doing a big comeback

Last month we got not noe but two new additions to the team, and one person came back to work from retirement.

Grass is back

Let's begin with what I'd consider some of the best news so far: @Grassdie is back in the team, and is now free to help us with no time restraints on his part, so work freely, potentially skyrocketing the game's progress. We are all very grateful to him for coming back exactly when we needed him most. Here you can see a new promo art for the game that he made in collab with Jon, that, you may have probably already noticed, became the game's temporary thumbnail and banner

New teammates

I am very proud to announce that we've got two new people on the team, so let me introduce them to you.

You may have heard of Flumpty's Slaughterhouse, a very beautiful-looking ONaF-themed FNF-mod. Me and Jon saw it, got very impressed with it, and decided to reach out to its director and animator, Jgal, to see if she was able to join the OWaF team, which she was happy to do.

Now she's a teammate and we're very glad to be working alongside her. She currently fixes up some old animations, makes new ones and draws character poses.

You can follow her on Twitter

The other teammate is @Kalarad , a friend of a friend of @Andriana_Mantidfly (btw, shout out to Andri, big thanks to her for constantly finding more and more new people for the team and just doing huge help overall, genuinely very happy to be working with her) that got taken into the team part-time to draw poses and jumpscares for a secret inside joke character that nobody's ever gonna find, in which he succeeded, very quickly by the way, and is now a full-time teammate.

Now he draws and fixes character poses and does some miscellaneous arts

You can subscribe to him on Youtube

Nerw Update

With how much I talked about it before, I definitely must mention how @Nerw is doing. Thankfully to all the donations, and thankfully to Andri's planning and help, he and his best friend were able to escape Ukraine in the beginning of March and are currently living in the same apartment building as me and our other friends in Montenegro.

He also got his computer fixed recently and now he is able to continue working on the game and drawing overall.

Now he is taking commissions, so if any of you are interested, I'd suggest you get one or two from him.

You can dm him on his Telegram or Discord: sryvnoynerw

Life updates

There was a devlog post that you may have seen that I deleted at some point because I thought it was too whiny, in which I described mine and the team's overall financial situation.

In short, it's manageable nut not really good, because being Russian outside of Russia and Ukrainian out of Ukraine sucks due to banking problems and all the other kinds of shits, because of that and some of our own bad decisions, we are almost fully out of money

I say this as a call out to anyone of you who may have any paid work for a graphic designer / artist / composer / sound designer / Russian-English translator maybe, such as a project that needs some specific work or even a full-time job, me and other teammates would gladly work for you, you can dm me on Discord: sipliy_makasin

That said, we still accept donations and all of us would be very grateful if you supported the game and the team by donating here: https://app.lava.top/sipliymakasin?donate=open

New content yay

As promised, here are a couple of new screenshots from the game

First, here's another look at the current version of the Beaver

Second, here's a cool drawing from one of the game's cutscenes, you can probably fighre out from where

There may or may not be a hidden message somewhere in this devlog

This may be a lot, but we have a lot more in store planned for later.

Thank you for your attention, have a nice day, and remember to support the game with a donation, it's very important to me and to the team overall
