Development Update: July 21st, 2025, and about that AMA…

That’s right, we passed our 8th Stretch Goal! (Inky will make an updated graphic later today, this post will be updated with that :3)

There are two days left, so if you want to get your name in the credits or just show support, now’s the time! I’m still just overwhelmed by the sheer amount of support here, and there’s so much work to do.

We had an AMA last week. At almost that exact time, Reddit had some kind of major site outage. People could create new posts but couldn’t post replies, basically hamstringing the whole thing. It was extremely sad/funny that the first time we use Reddit for anything major it melts down. Hah!

We have instead created a channel on the discord to allow people to ask questions. Also if you ask them over on the BSky I will get them to Inky to answer, and I will pick a few out to post on the blog along with the Whisp.sh questions.

We may or may not do another AMA at some point, because who knows if Reddit is going to explode next time in some creative way! So for now it’ll be the usual methods.

Note: I forgot to ask permission to show people’s names and whatnot so I’ll be removing those in these images. Whoops!

There’s actually a ton of questions. I have asked the reddit moderator to also send any questions we get there along so we can get them taken care of. I didn’t post every single question here so if you’re curious hit up the discord!

So Koops should now be back to work after all those international shenanigans are sorted out. I have reworked the raptor quest a bunch because you can start it from multiple areas and there’s a lot of dialogue. I am now currently working through all the humorous commentary, you can ask all the NPCs in the chapter who have topics about it and most of them (except Zeke!) have something dumb to say.

We’ve also got landscapes and sprites underway, and DurrDiss delivered new music. Oh and Dias finished the raptor TF comic and Mario finished the editing on it, so now I can implement it at last! Been a lot of work this week.

Yeah I know you’re all HOTLY ANTICIPATING it but the last art piece is still underway. Look forward to it! It’s a really good story! I’m taking a bath on this one in more ways than one!

By https://vgen.co/2D2_Art I had to make this one a gallery because oh my god look at it. It’s insane. If there’s a lifetime achievement award give it to 2D2Art here.

I kind of want to feature the anchor image as the post’s ref image but also I kind of don’t?
