Chapter 2: Progress Update + Special Illustration!

Speared By Heart ♡ (Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello everyone!! 

It’s been 1 month since release and the amount of love I’ve received from the game so far has been AMAZING! Thank you so much for all the positive reviews and comments on the game! As my first game I take everything to heart, including even the constructive criticism I’ve gotten as well! 

I really appreciate everyone taking the time to play my game (and for 1k downloads!!!) as a new dev with no other project out… yet ;) 

The main goal of this update is to showcase the progress report for Chapter 2 and some other things I wanted to go over! I originally mentioned Chapter 2/Chapter 3 will be done in the summer and fall but I wanted to make some changes to that schedule to allow myself to update Chapter 1 with some things that didn’t make it into the release for the game jam. 

Once that is done, I can work on Chapter 3 and so on. All the way up until Chapter 5 (which may be the tentative ending of part 1 so far). All of them are planned out and prepped. My biggest concern right now is getting Chapter 2 to you guys as well as fixing some things about Chapter 1. So! I made a full progress report of Chapter 2 as well as what updates Chapter 1 will get.
