Yeehaw! It's me, Yelonnek, the game's lead artist and scripter, with another devlog for y'all! 🧡

The past few weeks have been tough for us. Our social media and wishlist conversions have not been doing well, but Talewarden is going to participate in a couple of Steam festivals, so we have high hopes for positive change! One of us is tired of their full-time job, while the other is tired of looking for a full-time job. We're also fed up with our full-time jobs because they give us little free time. But, we're doing our best for our "baby" (the game)! 💪💪

Our main focus now is creating the background for Act 3. We have loooads of fun, different locations. For example, there's a train full of clothes and... mugs? (who might be there??) .  There's also a village in a cave with rather peculiar murals, a junkyard where a psycho might or might not live, and a bridge shrouded in treacherous fog.

You and your companions are sure to have exciting and not at all life-threatening experiences in all of these places!

We are also in the process of updating some of the first sprites we created. This includes Ghost, who needs to look hotter, edgier, and more imposing to embody the depressed sheriff he is.

(Now I can proudly call him "Sheriff"! 🌟)

Next, we'd like to introduce two new characters who...kidnaps you! The big, toothy one is Vikza (she/her), a mercenary with a peculiar, brutish personality. The dinosaur is Frinya (she/her), who will have more to say in the story later on (if you choose correctly and she survives, obviously!)

(We like dinosaurs so we added dinosaurs! 🦕)

Meanwhile, we're trying to get our game noticed. I've sent like a million emails, and the few people who responded were a pleasure to work with, most of them really liked our game! ❗ So, if you are a content creator or know anyone who might be interested in a narrative-driven adventure game, please let us know or spread the word! ❗

The struggle continues, but we're still working on Talewarden because we're artists, and without creating, we would just wither!

Take care, everyone. Good luck with your projects, if you have any, and have a great day! 🧡
