One route is almost fully functional. Neko has corrected visual glitches and dialogue errors and prepared three or four new placeholder sketches, including scene variations, while programming continues. The update explains why coordinating dialogue, effects, and sprites takes time and shares two development screenshots.
The latest cast Q&A explores monster species, circus photography rules, dancing, and character relationships. Doctor describes Pierrot as the troupe’s healthiest member, while Pierrot admires Jester’s adaptability and Doctor’s knowledge. Neko also discusses the challenges of scene pacing, choice-dependent dialogue, and interactive mechanics.
The second half continues Part 25’s illustrated Q&A. Neko clarifies that “deceased/unknown” labels can reflect characters losing contact after going their separate ways, rather than knowing what happened to one another. The post links back to the first half.
AMA 2 returns with the first half of Part 25, presented as illustrated question-and-answer panels. This installment is split across two posts, with a link to the second half at the end of the original post.
Neko has resumed work after a short break, progressing through code, adjustments, and fixes. A complex section with many choices and branching paths needs extra testing. Backgrounds and sprites have been corrected, and revisions plus new sprites for Doctor are planned when development reaches his scene.
The moderation team announced that the September 4 AMA crosspost and weekly update would be skipped while Neko took time away following a family bereavement. The team thanked the community for its understanding and support.
The ask box will remain closed for the rest of 2026. Existing questions will be kept, and AMA posts and development updates will continue. Reducing blog duties gives Neko more time to focus on Day 3.
Neko is still taking a short break from social media while the moderators help with the official blog. Final store preparations are underway ahead of a Patreon supporter test, and game beta testing is also taking significant time. The developer hopes to release the update sometime in 2026, but stressed that this is not a promise. Part 24 continues the AMA with new answers from the circus cast.
The developer spent the week focused on the store and the game, making solid progress on the opening section. The large amount of dialogue is taking time to translate and program, and new sprites have now been selected for Harlequin, Pierrot, and Jester.
