June 2025 Devlog <3


Hello, hello, hello! 

I've made a large number of updates to this page since the last time I made a devlog. Here's a brief list. 

  • Updated Micah's sprite.
  • Updated Laurie's sprite.
  • Updated Six's sprite.
  • Updated Yoh's sprite.
  • Updated Carlisle's sprite.
  • Updated the itch.io page with new intro text. 
  • Added new descriptions of the story on the itch.io page
  • Added a "meet the butlers" section.
  • Created "meet the cast images" for all of the characters with the exception of Lloyd (requires his sprite update) (shown in the attached images at the top of the devlog). 
  • Updated the textbox GUI, changing it from the default ren'py version to one more fitting of the game theme.
  • Changed the namebox GUI so that it alternates between the left and right sides of the textbox based on who is talking.
  • Updated the choice button GUI so it fits with the textbox theme
  • Removed the old screenshots from the game screenshot page.
  • Moved the quick menu from its original position to above the textbox. 
  • Addition of two item CGs.

Upcoming changes!

  • Currently creating custom nameplates/nameboxes for each of the characters to match their colour palettes more efficiently.
  • Updating the character sprites for Avery and Lloyd. 
  • Creation of a "Meet the Butlers" image for Lloyd.
  • Proofreading and editing of the current game's dialogue and exposition.
  • New screenshots to be added to the game page from the current state of the game.
  • Addition of sound effects were appropriate. 
  • Addition of more item CGs and character-related CGs. 
  • [potential] Addition of major character CGs

Decided to write this devlog quickly before I added more things that I might forget (and I probably already forgot some things to mention in here.) Thank you for your patience, and I'm looking forward to making this improved version of the demo available for all of you to play!

Noodle out!
