Progress Update 09/29/25

Happy Fall (finally)!

I hate summer with a burning passion and I'm so thankful that it's over. Now, it's time for the cozy and warm vibes of fall (perfect for writing IMO).

The demo for Bloom has received an update with various improvements :)  You might notice that some dialogue is different as we've made quite a few improvements in the latter half the game, that required the prologue to need a few tweaks. 

I decided to update a couple elements of the UI, mostly the textbox, as I randomly got some inspiration for it. There are other elements that will be updated a bit further down the line. But! For now I'm quite happy with the new look.

In between writing for Bloom I've also been writing for a second project and editing for a third which has been extremely fun. I feel like I'm improving everyday, and with all of this new experience I can continue making Bloom into the game I envisioned at the beginning of this year.

Once again, here's a list of what what I accomplished. 

Game Updates

• New textbox!
• Various UI updates and improvements
• Fixed more grammatical and spelling errors (they never end)
• Made some cute coffee assets to show on screen 
• Implemented Velvet's sprite!

General 

• Received and colored Velvet's sprite
• Writing for Felix chapter 1 (of 3) is almost complete
• Writing for Albion's route has begun and is progressing quickly!
• Added a second writer and editor to the team as well as a CG artist, background artist, and programmer!!
• Work on a glossary and gallery for the game has begun.

Marketing

• Still posting at least once a week on Bluesky @nightlightwrks.bsky.social

I am also excited to announce that with the addition of tenshideve as a co-writer, we will be able to release Felix and Albion's routes at the same time!

For those of you who are Qwynn fans, this is still fantastic news because it means we'll be able to get to them faster!

See you next time!
