✨Hey everyone!

It's been a long while since our last update — longer than we ever planned or wanted. The silence wasn't because we gave up or vanished. It was because real life hit us hard.

One of our family members was diagnosed with cancer last year, and with a small dev team like ours, that meant stepping away from development completely to care for them and walk with them through the hardest parts of treatment. We didn’t want to make a vague post or half-hearted excuse at the time — we just needed to be present where it mattered most.

But now, we’re back. Fully. And working like mad.

And we’ve got so much to show you!

✨ What's going on

We didn’t waste the quiet. Between caretaking, we slowly chipped away at the next big update. And now that we’re moving at full speed again, we’re happy to say we have a huge wave of content done already:

• New characters (some of whom we’re really excited to introduce)

• Updated and new sprites (yep, we gave some old faces to get themselves an updated outfits... and role)

• Backgrounds, music, scenario — all pushing!

• And yes — plenty of surprises we’re keeping tucked away just a bit longer, so you can enjoy them when you don't even expect toWe’ll be posting regular updates again. The next devlog will include previews, screenshots, and behind-the-scenes tidbits.
  
  We’re even thinking of doing a public tCoL art-stream if you’d like to hang out with us — let us know in comments!

✨To everyone who waited patiently — or impatiently (we get it) — thank you. Seriously. Your support means the world, even if you didn’t know what was going on behind the curtain. And to those just joining us: welcome to the ride.

We’re so glad to be creating again. And trust us, the wait is about to pay off once we're ready to deliver! Stay tuned.
— Yours truly, The Dev Team
