Added 2024-09-30 12:08:53 +0000 UTC

Hey Patrons,

Compymono here! It's time for another development report on Nekojishi: Lin & Partners and Astatos!

This month we've made good progress on lots of new artwork for L&P and Astatos, along with a lot of programming work for Cascade Trial in Astatos. (I also personally worked on some pretty big releases for Pawprint Press as well!).

We've also put out two new background art posts for higher tier Patrons, featuring artwork from L&P and Astatos!

Note: Development on the BEEK 2.0 update is still ongoing, however we had to prioritise some other tasks this month and will get back to it soon.

A good chunk of next month is going to be dedicated to our appearance at PAX Aus in Melbourne! However the rest of the team will continue working on story, music and artwork during this time. We also hope to be able to speed up production on the next section of the Astatos story.
