Dev Update - Game Engine

Hi everyone, it's time for another update!

[h3]So this update is a small and quick one, and is slightly different to the previous ones we've done, but in light of recent circumstances surrounding Unity's game engine, we thought it'd be a good idea just to update you on whether that means anything for Spirittea.[/h3]



[h3]Thankfully, Spirittea is being made using the Game Maker engine, so there won't be any disruption to development, and we are still on track for launching this year![/h3]

We know there's been a lot of talk and nerves floating around with the future of a lot of games, so we wanted to ease those nerves and reassure you that Spirittea is still very much in active development, and we're working hard to bring you a game that we know you are going to fall in love with!

We're getting closer and closer to launch, and we cannot wait to share our plans with you!



[h3]With that being said, we leave you with some spooky Ramen noodles. See you in the next update![/h3]

Dev Update - Meet the Spirits: Introducing Borzo!

Hey everyone, it's update time!

So we've been giving you spoilers of everything you can find in Spirittea, including the hobbies, townspeople, bathhouse and much more, but we realised there's one thing you've not gotten to know much of... and that's the spirits!

The spirits of course are a huge part of Spirittea, and while we've only touched on them briefly, we wanted to give you the chance to get to know some of them! Each spirit has its own unique and mischievous personality, alongside some lore as to how they come about!

[h3]So, to kick things off, we're giving you the chance to say hi to... Borzo!
[/h3]


[h3]It is believed that a Borzo is born when a ball has received an overabundance of love from a dog. Borzo are friendly but can get involved in devious deeds if they spend too much time with troublesome spirits...[/h3]

Borzo is a Fall spirit and TOO CUTE, I wonder which person in town he's got his eyes on hassling! With that cheeky looking face, we'll have to keep a close eye on him...

We'll see you in the next spirit update!

Dev Update - Karaoke

Hi everyone!

We thought for this update, we'd delve a little more into the various hobbies in Spirittea. There are many activities and mini-games you can take part in around town, whether it's fishing, digging, cooking and more! You won't be short of activities to do in Spirittea, whether it's alone or with a friend!

But for this update, we wanted to show you a sneak peek into Karaoke!



[h3]You'll find a cute Karaoke bar in town, where you can go and play the Karaoke mini-game! You'll have a variety of songs to choose from, so make sure to choose the one that best brings out your vocals! This mini-game will get challenging as you play, but with practice, you'll be smashing it in no time![/h3]


[h3]If you're ever feeling in the mood for a duet, then take a friend along with you and you can sing your hearts out together, and beat each other for the highest score![/h3]


[h3]Everyone around town has specific hobbies they like to do, so once you get to know them and make friends, you'll know what hobbies they like to do so they can tag along with you![/h3]

Thanks for tuning in to another great update - see you soon!

Dev Update - Early bird or night owl?

Hi everyone!

It's update time, and today we wanted to talk to you a little more about the freedom Spirittea gives you to play however you want, and that includes when you choose to sleep and stay awake!

Your schedule in Spirittea is ENTIRELY up to you, so if you want to be an early bird and wake up in the morning to do all of your daily activities, then go ahead! But if you prefer to sleep during the day and wander about at night, then of course you can do that too!

As long as you get the right amount of sleep for your fatigue, you can do whatever you like whenever you like, whether it's during the warm day or the cool summer evening!

[h3]There'll be plenty of secret things about that you'll only be able to find at certain times, especially at night, so it might be worth going for a bit of an evening stroll. I wonder what this could be...[/h3]



[h3]The bathhouse has no limits either, so if you prefer to work in the bathhouse at night, then by all means take on the night shift!
[/h3]



Some of the people in town are night owls too, so you'll spot them hanging about and enjoying the quiet evenings.

Thanks again for tuning in to another great update! We're gonna hit the hay, we've got some fireflies to catch this evening!

Dev Update - Friendships

Hi everyone! It's update time!

For this one, we wanted to talk to you about something that we've recently made changes to, and that's FRIENDSHIPS!

You're gonna be spending a lot of time with the locals around the town, so naturally being new to the area, you'll want to make some new friends!

[h3]But we wanted to take it one step further, and make it obvious how well your friendship is going with someone. That's why we added a friendship bar![/h3]


So now, rather than trying to guess how well it's going making friends with someone, you can see for yourself!

[h3]There are plenty of ways raise this bar - through hobbies, and even just general chit-chat! Each person in town will have their own unique friendship bar, and you'll be able to keep track of all your friendships in the game's menu too.[/h3]


Now it's even easier to make friends, and you can get to know everyone in the town with ease!

Thanks for tuning in friends - we'll see you soon!
