Hi, wonderful humans!

First devlog of 2025. I have finished lots of cumbersome paperwork and finally managed to get back into developing. I've also been thinking about how to re-work the patching schedule in order to maintain the fine line between giving a lot of people access to playing my games while also earning a little to make it a little easier to survive until release.

I have decided to shift to a monthly patch schedule, with 0.0.10 planned for end of January. These patches are available to anyone for free while the game is still in development. However, Patreon supporters will be able to play the new content earlier. Peeking Peacocks (5€-subscribers) get their hands on new stuff one week ahead of public release and Access Axolotls (10€-subscribers) get to play it as soon as it is ready (which is usually weekly, like it was before). So, if you can't afford (or just don't want) to support this way, you still get to play the new content, you just have to wait a little longer. This also gives me time to test the builds more before they become public.

However, if you do want to support me while working on Soulblaze, you can do so on the Patreon page. You get access to a different Itch.io project if you verify with your Patreon account and can download the patron-exclusive builds from there. The Patch 0.0.10 Preview 1 is now available there and includes the new tutorial as well as the new animon Bumalga!
