Hey Vampires,

Happy international cat day everyone. Cabernet is part of the Cat Awareness Feline Sale and what better way to celebrate than to show off the game’s most important character - the fluffy orange cat who pounces around town and lazily lays down wherever you want to sit.

This cat is voiced by Laura’s brother’s cat named Rue. We had to pay top dollar on kitty treats and scratches for Rue to want the role.
If you want to hear some of the amazing work Rue did, here is the orange cat saying some of their famous lines that will be featured in Cabernet.

Thank you Rue for the amazing performance!

Hey Vampires,

It has finally been cooling down after a very hot summer. As a vampire, it is very important that you stay out of the sun. A few weeks ago we reached the amazing milestone of 30,000 wishlists! Again thank you for the amazing support!

I talked with Arseniy and Laura, the developers at Party for Introverts, about what they have been working on for Cabernet!

“Hello again, fledglings!

July is shaping up to be quite the development marathon for Cabernet. We’ve really been able to fully and completely immerse ourselves in improving the build, and every day a little more falls into place.

Laura has finished up all the custom animations and is now in the tweaking stage. For example, that movement that looked perfectly fine in the editor, it’s too far to the left in-game. Things like that. Conversely, it’s super satisfying to see an animation you forgot you made a year ago work in-game - and actually look good! She is also currently going line by line and matching character emotions with the text. It’s a rather tedious task, but one that is super important for the player’s emotional journey.

Arseniy recently finished up writing text descriptions for the final game elements (items, glossary, quest descriptions etc.), He even drafted all the Achievements. It’s crazy that we are so far along in the process to be doing this! Very exciting stuff. He is now implementing the aforementioned custom animations into the game, creating a more polished, immersive experience.

Once again, thank you for coming along on this journey with us. We have such exciting things on the horizon that we can’t wait to share!

Until next time.
Party for Introverts”
