Ahoy Spacefarers,

From concept to code, the development journey continues! Let's peek under the hood and check out what got tackled this week ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ

Kicking off February, our artist and coder joined forces to put the new Tripteen maps through a gauntlet of technical tests. Each zone's visuals are now undergoing rigorous rendering analysis to strike that perfect balance between eye-catching aesthetics and smooth performance.
After-all, landscapes and intricate details are captivating, but meaningless if the game chugs along like a snail.

While developing VoidBound remains our top priority, fueling its launch with epic promo art is a close second! Stunning pieces are being crafted for Twitter to that effect, celebrating exciting milestones like reaching Wishlist goals, and if your reception is out of this world, they might just make a triumphant in-game debut! Prepare to be wowed! #VoidBoundArt ๐Ÿฆ

----

As we delve deeper into Tripteen's lore, we're re-imagining the backstory of Excite-O-Bot, the quirky droid in the village.

In the original concept, it was clear that its origins and the secrets are buried deep within the Tripteen Dungeon halls but, Caly never really stuck around to figure out more. This time however, not only are we expanding the Bot's story-line further, but we're also outlining a potential side quest for our intrepid heroine to tackle.

Players will be venturing deep into the dungeon's depths on Excite-O-Bot's request and perhaps, even re-discover more of the mysterious being's past in the process.

----

Finally, the new dungeon's lighting is getting its final touches! Expect ambience enhancing glows, dynamic ray casting effect, and maybe even some spooky flickering ๐Ÿ”ฆ to set the mood. These features are also undergoing stress tests and, if deemed necessary, will be optimized further in order to ensure maximum compatibility with a range of PC hardware.

Tying it off, Tripteen's baddies are training for some serious battle! These new enemies and bosses are being equipped with a variety of unique skills, all based on the revamped combat system, that will require some strategic thinking to conquer. Fret not though, Caly will be fully armed with enough tools as well to pack more strategy than John Wick's bullets.

It'll be a tactical dance, not a bullet ballet ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป

And that concludes our update for this one. Thank you for reading until the end, nothing makes us happier.

Take care and we'll see you in the next progress update.

Kind Regards,

Cursed-Atelier Team

Dreamcutter Nintendo Switch!

Thats right we have launched Dreamcutter on the Nintendo Switch! Be it more censored but still as sexy and side scrolly....as ever XD

The Dreamcutter, a mysterious scythe with an ulterior motive, promises alluring rewards and a chance at escape. But what strange dangers and exotic encounters will you find inside your own mind? Dreamcutter is an intense side-scrolling action platformer that blends visual novel CG scenes with macabre themes and sassy character dialogue. Along with your friend Lucia, youโ€™ll take the role of Haley as the pair navigate the darkest parts of Haleyโ€™s subconscious.

Use the Dream Combo to rack up points, collect coins to buy upgrades, reach higher platforms by sticking your scythe in walls, swing, grind, float and more! Plenty of seductive moments await in this dreamscape, but will you survive to remember them?

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the centenary coverage of VoidBound's weekly journey through its development cycle. Lets open up with some neat artistic updates.

Our artist is nearly finished with the robot defeat scene, hinting at a slew of stunning new renders depicting Caly's struggles after suffering a shattering defeat against the ultimate metallic nemesis. Of-course, you can avoid this lewd fate of hers by simply taking down the boss but.. would you? ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

From an anteater scavenger to an ancient droid, Tripteen's bustling little village is slowly coming alive! New character renders are now in place showcasing the eclectic denizens you'll encounter once Caly's boots hit the ground. Vibrant personalities? CHECK. Weird quest requests? CHECK. Horny man skulking around Caly? Uhh.. CHECK? ๐Ÿ˜•

Switching perspectives- our story weavers have also started the process of sectioning out the new dungeon floors. The idea is to weave the story progress in such a way that it flows smoothly in tandem with each zone segment the player traverses, ensuring a thrilling and balanced immersive experience. After-all, where is the fun in backtracking constantly?

Additionally, we're now brainstorming ideas for quirky, engaging findables โ›๏ธ and side quest items to dot Tripteen's new maps. While hunting her quarry is going to be a priority for Caly, occasionally, she might trip on some interestingly mundane items as well! Maybe a holographic recipe for the galaxy's finest space-shrimps? Or uncover a hidden arcade room with retro alien mini-games? Perhaps not all that but, you get the picture - delightful distractions galore!

Finally, things are getting steamy in the coding bay. We've started work implementing some of the new H-Scenes content for Tripteen, ensuring Caly's adventures on the crimson planet have their fair share of spicy encounters. Keep your keen eyes peeled for all of them, though beware, there might be one or two trap ๐Ÿชค events mixed in as well!

And that is all they wrote for this one. Intrigued for more? So are we to share! Stay tuned for next week's update.

Until then, take care o/
