Hello everyone,

It's been just over a week since we launched the demo of Shroudfall Cove. Thank you so much for taking a look and playing it! Corvine (the writer) and I (crayoncat) have been floored by the amount of attention it has gotten and we're very excited to keep working at it and release a new build soon.  

We'd like to give a short introduction about us and the game before I delve into the updates- Corvine and I have always wanted to work on a project together so when we heard about the Otome Game Jam, the two of us decided that this was a perfect opportunity. Corvine has no experience with gamedev and I have worked on games before but only as the artist so there was a bit of learning and figuring out to do at the start. But we worked hard to cover our lack of experience and we're both super happy with the current version of the game. I really hope the players can feel the care and effort we have poured into making Shroudfall Cove!

Now for the future of the game:

We're planning to have another build ready in 2 months or so. This new build would have a new arc (? chapter??) where the player will spend more time with some characters and learn more about them as well as the lore of the world. There will also be minor changes to some parts of the current game- possibly new choices for MC at certain points in the story.

Another thing in the works is introduction of an approval/friendship system and pronoun picker for MC at the start of the game. We're planning for in-depth friendship routes with the NPCs so even if you don't want to romance certain characters, you can still be besties with them! Since the Otome Jam had a stipulation for female identifying MC, for now the demo assumes the player character is female., but we definitely want to change that and make it more inclusive now that the Jam is over.

That's it for now, thank you again for supporting our game! We're super hyped for the coming updates! See you all soon!
