January 2025 A New Stage of Development

The Plan for 2025

In 2023 the demo for Book 2 was made available, in 2024 the BIG update to Book 1 was finished, and I have an ambitious goal for 2025: I want to get Book 2 to a playable alpha state. I’ve started posting short (almost) daily updates on progress to the “Book 2 daily updates” channel of the Slattstudio discord. If you are wary of spoilers, however, probably best not to check that out as I cannot guarantee that daily work is spoiler free.

The Work This Month

So, here’s a brief summary (and some screenshots) of what’s been going on in January.

  • Random Battle Encounters in the Great Forest up and running
  • Cosmic Sidewalk Puzzle implemented
  • Backgrounds and Animations added
  • Cutscene dialog/stuff

It’s gonna be a lot of work, but so much is done and now it’s a matter of getting things tied together and implemented. I’m quite excited to be moving to what feels like the next stage of the game’s development!

Further Support

I’m also posting comics for those who pledge in the $3 tier on my patreon, if you’re interested in helping finance this passion project in a small, but helpful and appreciated, way. Here’s one of recent ones:

What's new with Betrayed Alliance at the end of 2024?

I’ll be working hard to reach the goal of the game being in alpha by year’s end. It’s ambitious, but I am hopeful that it is within reach.
