DevLog #75: July 2022 (Patreon)

Hi everyone! Here's the monthly DevLog 😊

Light Fairytale Episode 2

As planned, I've updated Episode 2 on Steam, Xbox & PlayStation with all the latest features from the Switch version.

Also, Episode 2 is now Verified on Steam Deck. Episode 1 was not yet tested by Valve but should work similarly.

Nintendo Switch

Mark the date: Episode 2 will release on Switch worldwide on August 18th!

Pre-orders starts one week earlier.

Light Fairytale Episode 3

The story continues 😁

I've made the rough layout of 2 new cities.

First "Hydropolis", a poor town tormented by the Water Elemental...

... and "Wall-City" (temporary name), also a poor city built at the exterior wall of the Capital, where people have only one dream: winning the (real-world) "Night Riders" race and earn the right to live in the Capital.

There's one more city in Episode 3: The Capital.

I've also started working on the beginning of Episode 3. Right now the first 10-15 minutes are playable in term of exploration and events.

Though, it's difficult to share shots of this as they would reveal too much.

For instance, you'll learn the actual name of the Mysterious Girl at around the 5th minute. It will be challenging to promote Episode 3 without revealing her name 😅

Anime

Here's the final character sheet of Saki - one of the new characters in Episode 3...

... and here's the layout of a new Anime cut. I'm planning a few more for some important story events.

Dark Fairytale

I've received the final model of Doll-Rachel...

... and work have started on the real (human) Rachel.

Bonus

So, a couple 4K wallpapers this month. First, Doll-Rachel 3DCG render...

... and next, a cute auto-fanart of Haru & Kuroko that I made 😁

What's Next

Next month, Light Fairytale Episode 2 will finally release on Nintendo Switch!

Though, I plan to mostly work on Episode 3 again - hopefully having the first 30 minutes playable.

Episode 3 will be massive - around the duration and content of Episode 1 + 2.

I've spent a lot of time in the past year working on other things - updates & ports mostly, so I really need to focus on Episode 3 now if I want to make it at the planned release date - Q4 2023.

That's it!

Thank you so much for your support. See you next month 😊
