A concise record of confirmed Day 3 work. New official milestones can be added here as development continues.
Coding continues with a brief Columbina scene
Neko focused on coding and the shop, with placeholder assets still standing in for unfinished scenes. Transitions, choices, and images will be polished once those scenes are settled. A new, very short scene briefly mentions Columbina, whose design is planned soon so flashback silhouettes can remain consistent. No new game artwork or public Day 3 release date was shared.
Detailed weekly report skipped; coding continues
Neko skipped the detailed weekly update because of a heavy workload, while reporting continued coding progress and more artwork needed for new scenes. The post also welcomes the new Japan/Korea partnership and mentions possible arrangements for Brazilian fans, with nothing confirmed yet.
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.
Work resumes on choices and branching scenes
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.
Weekly update paused for September 4
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.
Ask box stays closed to make more time for Day 3
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.
Opening section advances and new sprites are selected
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.
Dialogue programming continues
The next story continuation remains in active development.
New artwork is being prepared
At least two new pieces of artwork are expected as part of the ongoing work.
Background revisions are planned
Some existing backgrounds need additional work or adjustment.
Additional character sprites may be needed
Later scenes may require more character sprite work.
