This Week in the Forest #95 (Patreon)

YO FOLKS~! Here's what we've been up to this week!

Starting with a word from Vixel!

9/26 weekly update:

Heya floofs! Short update from me this week!

I've finished nearly all the graphics optimization tasks in the Upgrade project! Most of our large art assets are now compressed and smaller sprites are combined into texture atlases for improved performance. Next I'll be fixing issues in Acts 1-3 story scripts to get the game back to where we're at in the monthly builds. (There are still some broken triggers and cutscenes to sort out, and newer Act 3 content to port over from the more recent monthly builds.)

Made progress on the Bucky and the Bears content for this month's Patreon build! Will finish that up ASAP and get the updates published for yall to enjoy. ^w^

---

On my end - I've been pushing ahead with prepping more Act 3 Content! Particularly the Mabel and Rascal scene that I posted last week :> I've got another loop and some transitions roughed out, and things are lookin' pretty dope I gotta say :>

In addition to that animation, I started roughing out this month's polled content! I wanted to go for a classic "Group Booty Picture" - but I was thinking it'd be kinda slick if everyone was in the same room? And then you can scroll through which critter ya wanna mess with. This experience will be its own unique thing, and it'll require some setup, so I think the first "part" will be a bit paired down. But it's the foundations for something pretty neat in the future!

For now, enjoy the doodles :>

OK THAT'S IT! Keep an eye out for new builds soon!

See ya folks next week!
