Hello everyone!
Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish the update in time for September - I ended up expanding the scope a little bit with which scenes I wanted to get done to include in the update, so it'll likely drag things out a little going into October.
I'll leave you with a few sneak peeks into the new stuff to satiate your curiosity a little in the meantime.
Hello everyone!
This month's log will be skipped out on again as I work on the final few stretches necessary before the next update will be released sometime next month.
In other, personal news, I have taken the day off today to go hiking and celebrate my birthday. So here's a disgruntled birthday photo of me instead:
It's time for another development log! Apologies for the slight delay everybody, I've been a bit behind schedule with this one, so I was busy finishing up some last bits I wanted to show off in the log.
We got quite a bit of art to go through, so let's get right into it!
In the previous log, I showed off the teaser character sneakily added into the ...
2025-07-27 09:38:25 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! It's been quite a while one of these, mainly because I didn't have a whole lot to share about v0.5.1. Now that 0.6.0 is out, there is enough to combine into one post, including some fun statistics stuff at the end. Let's begin!
Storytelling through gameplay
Cedric dialogue has variations based on how you treated him in the pub M...
2025-07-19 16:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! It's been a hot minute since the last development log, due to the release of 0.6.0 and whatnot!
Now that the big revamp of the entire game is finally out of the way, it's back to working on good ol' storylines and content for me!
I'll be showing some screenshots from the upcoming storyline dialogues towards the end of the post. That way, people who d...
2025-06-26 18:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, this is just a quick post to let you know that the patch fixing a few of the bugs that emerged in v0.6.0 is now live.
It came out alongside the public release of the update, so you can get it from the game's itch.io page now!
2025-06-16 17:16:56 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! I got something a little different for you today.
As a way to promote v0.6.0, now that it's coming out to the rest of the public, I've written a story based on one of the recurring characters appearing in some of the new card illustrations.
I will be releasing a new part of the story every day until it's all out, and today is
Hey everyone!
This is just a reminder that the Patreon price increase is now in effect! If you haven't read about it yet, check out this update release post (in short: this price change should not affect you until next month).
2025-06-05 11:11:34 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, the next update is finally here! As you can see from the title, I will be increasing the prices of the Patreon tiers, so please make sure to keep reading past the second half of this post for more info.

2025-05-27 11:31:38 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! As has become the norm, no development log today as I work on the last bits and bobs for the update!
In the meantime, allow me to tease you with a few of the card illustrations that will appear on the new cards.
There are quite a few of these, since the large balancing overhaul needed the game to have a far more diverse card pool to ...

Hey everyone!
Today's development log is mostly focused on the big balancing changes I teased in the previous log. As I've continued to play around with the various parameters, I've made more and more significant changes to the gameplay to the point where it'd be accurate to say this is a full on balancing revamp.
Now I'm pretty much just stuck...
2025-03-26 15:34:25 +0000 UTC View PostThis dev log will actually be split up into two pieces.
It's been a hot minute since I've done a dedicated Deep Dive post, but the write-up I did about the new clothing system implementation ended up growing far too big and detailed. So it was the perfect opportunity to bring it back!

The 0.5.1 update introduced a big redesign of the clothing system, namely the separation of clothing into tops and bottoms, and customizable colors for every single piece of clothing. And to get to that last one, I went on a bit of a journey. A journey I thought would be interesting to share, especially for anyone interested in the actual process of game development,
Hey everyone, I have some exciting news: I've finally decided to set up a Discord server for the game!
If you're interested in adding yet another piece of cruft to your pile of servers, I've messaged the invite link to anyone who has backed the project for the duration of v0.5.1's development.
If you don't fall under that range: sorry for the trouble, but y...

Hello everyone! I have skipped out on writing a dev log this month in favor of finishing up the remaining work for the soon-to-be-released update.
In the meantime, allow me to wish you happy holidays (where applicable) and an early happy new year!
Thank you for keeping up with me and this project for so long!

Hey everyone! This one's coming with a slight delay, but shh, let's still say it's the 26th of November for consistency's sake.
The past two weeks or so have been a bit busy for me as I've just moved into a new apartment! This hasn't impacted development on the game much, as I have still been able to get my usual scheduled hours in, but it'll be interesting to see how it affects things go...

Hello everybody, it's that time again! The time for me to tell you all about what I've been up to these past few weeks. Not much to share in the intro today, so let's get right into it!
When I first added the new shirt patterns, there was quite a lot of duplicate copy and pasting going around, nam...

Today, v0.5.0 is going out to the rest of the public, and so what better time to talk about the fun facts that I teased a few weeks ago?
Once again, this post contains spoilers for the new content, so if that matters to you, come back here later! If not, let's get started!
Because of the independent, parallel way the storylines happen in, you can meet certain c...

Phew! I can already feel a whole lot lighter now that v0.5 is out! In fact, I feel so light that I decided to use this time to significantly refactor some of the game's oldest code from when CoG was in its earliest stages!
That's right, this month's topic of discussion is the internal workings of the project. The last time I've gone this into detail about...
2024-09-26 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI haven't done a fun facts post in a while!
That is to say, I skipped out on them during v0.4.0 and v0.4.1's release. The reason for that is: unlike the previous updates, I stopped writing them down regularly about halfway through 0.4's development due to a lack of time and admittedly quite a bit of ru...
2024-09-19 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the constant delays everybody! Finally it is here! Feast your mouse clicks (or finger touches) on these links!
Hello everybody, I'm still struggling to finish the final few pieces necessary for v0.5, so you can expect the update to come out within the next few days!
Apologies for yet another delay and thank you for your patience!

After recovering from a particularly rude illness and finishing university, I finally got to jump right back into development this month!
Originally I was hoping to release the update around this time, but unfortunately that will have to wait until next month as things are nowhere ready for a proper release. I've really spread myself out thin with so many independent storylines and variou...
2024-07-26 14:00:24 +0000 UTC View PostHello everybody! Unfortunately this development log will be quite short as I have some slightly bad news.
For the past month, I've been sick with some sort of flu that caused me to be bedridden for about half of it, and left me quite exhausted during the latter half. I have thankfully gotten better now, although I seem to still have quite an annoying lingering co...
2024-06-26 13:19:28 +0000 UTC View PostThis month, I've been doing a lot of work on the new side activities that have been mentioned previously.
To refresh your memory: the game is in dire need of more minigames, as there are currently only two activities to pass time in the game: fishing and the gym minigame, which isn't even available most day...
2024-05-26 08:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, it's been a month since the last update and that means it's time for your regularly scheduled development log! I've been doing a lot of work on the backbone of things, so there aren't a whole lot of immediately exciting things to show off, so I'll do my best to keep it interesting!
As the game continues to grow and the many, many branching narratives...
