March 2024 Devlog

Ardency: Heart of the Rebellion
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello again! I am back with what I would consider to be a more lengthy devlog than usual! March was full of a ton of work for Lacydigital and even a few milestones hit! 

What is finished?

I was able to get Artie's chapter 1 and chapter 2 completely programmed this month! I am currently working on his chapter 3. It takes me between 3-5 days per chapter to get everything in.

I also am happy to announce official chibis were made for Ardency! Sasagiri was wonderful enough to create these designs.

There has also been a few small tweaks to the store page if you haven't noticed yet! It's not fully done, but will hopefully be in its final form come the next couple of weeks.

What's next?

There seems to be a never ending amount of work for me to do lately! Ardency is the equivalent to a full time job (balancing contracted employees, being my own sound engineer, financial advisor, writer, programmer, basic image/graphic creation, etc...) 

The biggest goals I am focused on are programming, getting the Steam page together, and preparing for Otome Jam 2024.

That's right. Ardency will be a part of Otome Jam 2024. I am beyond thrilled to be taking part in such a monumental jam and only my second jam at that! So that means you can expect a FULL release this summer, within the jam deadlines. I will be cutting it close, but it will be totally worth it!

What else are you doing?

Besides working on Ardency, working a full time day job, and keeping up with all other facets of life? I have a ton of projects floating around. The biggest is Roped In: Deuces Wild, the standalone sequel to Roped In! I am happy that 1/2 the routes are fully written and the other is well on its way. My other large project is #JADJam, or Josei After Dark. This is my first jam I have created and hosted and it begins in August! I am so excited to see more NSFW josei games and hope many people participate! There is also a secret third project in the works - but it is a little too soon to divulge any information yet!


TL;DR:

Lacydigital has a ton in store for 2024, so buckle up!

See you all next month and get ready for all the fun jams coming up! Can't wait to see what is in store for players and devs alike!
