Hi everyone! :D

Just wanted to give a heads up that I'm headed out for a week on vacation! I will be pausing development during this time just as a break, but I know I will be eager to get back into things once I am back!

I'm so excited that I am pretty much at the finish line now! The only remaining things are the very very last portion of the game, along with the credits! :))

Up next, I'm going to go ahead and start my alpha-testing phase, along with rolling out beta-testing slowly!

Hoping everyone is having a great week!! :))

This is my first time animating an animal, so it was a bit of a learning curve, but I had a lot of fun with it! :)

This little fox shall be present in the demo as well! :)

Hi everyone!

Hope you have been doing well for the past couple of months, sorry for yet another disappearance!

A lot has been going in terms of development -- my after-work hours and weekends are spent on trying to crack through this game, and I'm so excited to release it to you all! :D

All that remains is wrapping up the last portion of the game, alpha-testing, and beta-testing.

Thank you all so much for your patience through this process.

Here's a sneak peek of the "summer room" in my game! :)

Hi everyone!

Thank you again for taking the time to try out my beta demo and provide your thoughts!
Your time in playing is precious to me, and I really appreciate all the detailed feedback I am receiving! :)

Wanted to give a quick heads up that as feedback responses are rolling in, I'm creating tickets for

A) Bugs -- pretty much any blocks or unintended behavior.

B) Improvements on UI that are frequently voiced and/or I believe could enhance the gameplay.

I usually try to check the responses I'm receiving everyday, work on these issues at night in the PT timezone, and release builds everyday (or every other day) addressing them!

For transparency with my testers, if you would like to track these issues and where I am at, feel free to check out this public link to my notion board[petite-package-a34.notion.site]! :)

Additionally, at the top of the beta-testing document linked here[docs.google.com], you can see the approximate time a new build is available (usually sometime in the night in the PT timezone).

For anyone else who is interested in beta-testing, please feel free to check the link to the beta-testing document above as well! :)

Thank you again, and hope you are all having a great week! :D

Hi everyone!

Exciting news! I finally have a small demo that is ready to be beta-tested! :)

If you are interested, please follow this link for the handbook and build files[docs.google.com]!

At the end, you will have the option to enter your name if you would like to be in the beta-testing credits! :) (Clean names only haha, as I cannot include them otherwise! XD)

Feel free to join us on Discord here: https://discord.gg/2MVg3VtVyt

Hope you enjoy the demo, and please feel free to let me know if you have any questions! :)

Hey everyone! :)

Hope you've all been doing well over the past month!

Things have been getting fairly hectic in the process of gamedev because I'm getting ready to beta-test a small demo of this game! :D

They always say that last 10% is where the bulk of the work happens, and wow were they right! Sound effects, menus, and tests are much harder than I initially thought.

The good news is that I am close to wrapping this up! In roughly a week, I will be ready to pass this on to beta-testers. If you are interested in beta-testing, please feel free to comment on the post or email me at eccentricstylist@gmail.com ! :)

Since I'm aiming for this game to be released EOY, I'm contemplating between releasing the public demo sometime in June, or in time for the October Steam Next Fest since it's a spooky game.

What are your thoughts? :)

Have a great weekend ahead!

P.S.: Unsure why this event is live, was unable to turn it off. Also, here's a little sneak peek of the title menu I created!

Hey all!

Back again this week with another exciting update -- I am almost done wrapping up the puzzle design for the game!

I have my demo ready, but I just need to add some finishing touches as well.

Excited to release this game, looking forward to all of you trying it out!

Hey everyone! :)

Hope you all are doing well!
Can you believe I just saw this feature?
Sorry for not giving updates earlier!

With that being said, I wanted to let you all know that I am grinding through the gameplay -- that includes art, dialogue, programming -- you name it!

I have more artwork (yay!!) that I would love to share with you all! It's available on my press kit here:
https://impress.games/press-kit/eccentric-stylist/a-winter-haunting

I'll be trying to give updates at least every 1-2 weeks, if not more frequent when possible.
Excited for this game to come out EOY!
Thank you all for sticking with me through this journey! :)
