Still working on the newest build, but making good progress! As I said last time, it's basically a triple-sized update, but we'll get there one step at a time, and I hope you'll like it!
I had some free time for Christmas and New Year, and I've been back to work as soon as the holidays ended. I'm going to post some of the new assets in the next post(s) here on Patreon, ...

I thought I would take a few minutes to get you updated on how the work on the upcoming Shelter build is going.
I'm happy to tell you that today I finally finished and polished the full script, and I'm ready to focus entirely on preparing the visual assets and coding. It turned out to be a basically triple-sized update, sitting at over 21.000 words!
It's chunky as heck. ...

Considering the way the last main story update ended, as well as knowing what the content of the followup/conclusion would be, I really appreciated the little break I had with the more lighthearted content of our Demons Within crossover. I hope you liked that one! The whole crossover will be concluded in ...

I thought I'd give you a quick update on how things are going, regarding the upcoming update and in general.
After finishing the last update, I still worked for another week or so, and then took my first real vacation this whole year, with a nice trip to a nearby beach and visiting some friends in a nearby city. It was super nice and exactly what I needed to return ...

In Shelter’s world, you have six basic mana types, each corresponding to a different species group and represented by a different color.
Red - Canine
Orange - Feline
Yellow - Avian
Green - Rodent
Purple - Ungulate
Blue - Saurian
This is the very basis for every worldbuilding decision I’ve made for this setting. A setting I wanted to populate with di...

Remember years ago, when I used to sell shirts and Cooper pillow cases?
I was thinking about opening that shop again. After all, we have that MERCH Dandelion little head in the main menu, and it would be great to have more use of that!
I got a few new merch samples, and all of them turned out pretty great.
There is a new tshirt printing method that has more vibrant...

At around the age he was in Alon's childhood, but wielding his own weapon from SheltRPG.
There are still some details I'd like to add to his armor, add some shine to the metal, and probably work a bit more on his fluff and color patterns. I think we're on a good track, though!
SheltRPG features a turn-based battle system inspired by elements of various jRPGs I’ve played over years. I love Final Fantasy games and I liked multiple ideas in Breath of Fire 4, like the tagging mechanic which was pretty new at that time. Apparently Square liked it too, when they made FFX.
There are multiple unique mechanics in our system coming from the use of our Mana, but overal...

The brand new collaboration between Shelter and Demons Within, A Demon Within Shelter, has JUST released on both Patreons! Though this initial release is Patreon-only, as it is also tied to the current Patreon-only versions of both games, it will be available to everyone as soon as the latest versions of both games also become public. In the meantime, we’re holding two special of...

The first installments of our little crossover side story with Demons Within is going to be ready for you very soon! This is how the chapter selection looks on Shelter's side. I hope you'll have fun with it~
Also, I'm almost done with chapter 2, which you'll be able to play after finishing both prologues and the first chapter from DW's side. We've been having a blast working on that <3
The first couple devlogs acted as a general introduction to the whole idea of SheltRPG as a game, but we haven’t actually covered any specifics yet, so I hope this entry will begin to give you a bit of a better idea of what kind of experience to expect. Let’s then take a look on the overview of the whole gameplay loop… which is still pretty general in a sense, but at least this is the fir...

I set the newest build's release date to next Friday, 11th July! That will give me more than enough time to polish everything, and also give extra room to work with for the translators. I hope you'll enjoy it!

The known world of Shelter is split into six countries, each hosting people or different species groups. There is a country of Felines, Canines, Rodents, Saurians, Ungulates and Avians.

The new script is nearing its completion. I'm at about 13000 words right now, but there are still a few scenes I'd like to cover to reach a nice cutoff point. I would prefer not to cut corners on that, so I think I'll just let it grow as much as it needs. I hope that...
