Today, we answer the most important question in UNDER | HEAVEN canon...
Chapter 7 is still in progress and we're hoping to have the asset preview in the next week or two, but in the meantime we've been working on some quality of life improvements! The release of chapter 7 will come with an additional streamer mode option to play through adult scenes with no visuals.
From us to you: happy trans day of visibility, in gratitude and celebration of a community far stronger than every past and current oppressor.
Let's have a little #indiedev positivity thread! Quote this post with some positive reviews you've received that meant a lot to you.
For those of you attending LVFC, I'll be giving two panels on Friday. Come on by and say hi!
With some of the recent conversations around AI 'placeholders', we wanted to show off some of our lovingly hand-crafted developer art. They grow up so fast...
This build ALSO includes numerous minor polish improvements, including a new background in the prologue!
But wait! There's more! Chapter 6, beginning part two, is out RIGHT NOW for patrons: www.patreon.com/posts/152900... This accompanies some changes in Patreon structure, which you can read about alongside news about upcoming builds right here: www.patreon.com/posts/152642...
Soccer required less to play and had generally taken football's cultural place by the time the material situation improved. If you glance around some of the house backgrounds, you'll note the memorabilia is mostly soccer themed! (art by @enayaray.bsky.social and @borkthunder.bsky.social)
The reasons are largely material. The first decades after the surface of Earth became uninhabitable were characterized by intense crowding and shortages as much of the city was built out. Put simply, the space and equipment requirements for football were prohibitive.
Fun lore tidbit that came up on the discord: What is sport culture in Megiddo like? Ultimately, it's pretty similar to the modern United States. There's a larger focus on individual sports like MMA, but team sports remain very popular But, notably: (American) Football has nearly died out. Why? 🧵
This is the content you're missing by not being on the discord btw
We're still a couple weeks out from chapter 5 public, but it'll include a few minor polish passes on existing content like the addition of chapter banners! The music room backend has also been redone for (hopefully!) better stability and reliability.
Full resolution assets for Chapter 5 are now available for Disc-tier backers on Patreon!
