Progress Report 10/23/2026

Hello hello, Rem here with a quick and short Progress Report late into the wee hours of the night.

This week, I finished the Passives, and just finalized the Titles, or at least I have six decided. Next would be to implement their effects and also come up with their flavor text. Since the Teacher side job is a bit unique, I can make some of the Title effects change it up a little bit. Some of them are For Fun™ effects, and one of the Titles can, well, without spoiling too much, help obtain a set of Passives that would otherwise be very difficult to get normally. And said set of Passives ends with a bit of an easter egg for the Teacher side job let's say.

Actually, I changed my mind a little while writing. Said set of Passives will enable the ability to obtain ANOTHER Title. I'll come up with the effects tomorrow, zzz...

Wait, no, teehee. Said Title will be the basis of a Challenge Title Run, which on completion is a Title with effects that are, well, let's say no more. To those at home keeping score! To obtain a certain set of Passives, it will require a certain something, or a certain Teacher Title. Then, with that Passive, you can unlock another certain Teacher Title. On New Game Plus, you can do a Challenge Title Run with it and the reward for it is an easter egg for the Teacher side job.

Making games is fun!

Finally, Sachinama has also just finished one of the two sex CGs for the Teacher DLC! He has posted spoilers of the CGs on Ci-en and Twitter, so check them out if you don't mind being spoiled!

The plan for next week is to finish up with the Titles and implement the sex scene Sachinama finished.

The current list of things still needed to do beyond what I just mentioned above and besides natural stuff like playtesting and bug fixing are:

Facial variations for all teacher CGs, their conditions, and the code

Flavor text for Passives

Karryn dialogue

Voice work for the lines

Localization work for all languages

We're getting real fucking close boys and girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That said, I don't think it's possible to make it shippable before the end of the year. Never mind the fact that the voice work will take a month+, and even longer during the holiday season, but there still needs to be alpha testing first. I do hope, however, that alpha testing can begin before the end of the year though, since the alpha test can and will begin without the voice work.

So that's it for this week, stay warm, stay hydrated, and I'll talk to you all next week!
