Hey, guests of the Fleapit! Another month passed by, another devlog has arrived! Looks like you enjoyed our grab bag format, so we’re running another one of these again. And now let's get straight to the show: [h2]WE MADE AUDIO CALIBRATION (and the rest of the options menu)[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41646241/50b7414f1a7d84c1fc8766cdc98e88b95b6425b9.png[/img] [i]Design and settings are not final and subject to change![/i] As a part of our preparations for the public demo launch (coming soon, promise!!), we finally made an actual Options menu and audio calibration! This is a more important update than it sounds because previously we were kind of operating on the basis of “let’s make the game first and all the inconsequential stuff later”. Well, it turns out having an options menu and audio calibration for users is pretty darn important, so we’re happy finally getting that out of the way. There’s still a lot of work to be done, but we consider this another little milestone towards the full game. [h2]DISCOVERING DIALOGUE ANIMATIONS[/h2] [list] [img]https://i.imgur.com/pdPClQJ.gif[/img][/list] You might’ve seen us posting a fourth-wall-breaking animation of Ruby’s dialogue on Twitter this month! Actually, we never really intended for them to be a part of the game and it’s something we just had fun with… …but seeing how many of you loved it on Twitter, we’re seriously considering putting them in the game for some extra special moments. Anyway, we’ve got one more for you right here so please enjoy! [h2]DEVELOPMENT INSIGHTS: BUGS AND CREATIVITY[/h2] Here’s a cute little thing we encountered during testing: Andy’s sprite turned into a sprite of another enemy by accident. Well, our first thought was this was annoying as Hell because we thought the build was pretty solid. But then we realized that this could become a mechanic, or an option for customization, or maybe even something else entirely!- …orrr maybe not end up in the final game at all 🗿 Sometimes that’s just how things evolve throughout game development, new ideas are born not through sheer calculations and extensive planning, but rather through a random bug that popped up during playtesting sessions with the team!

This is also the perfect day for demons to try and claw their way to the top of the hierarchy with deception and trickery while others are busy celebrating.[/i] [h2]COMING IN THE NEXT DEVLOG: BELLBOY'S PROFILE[/h2] Join us next month as we reveal some of the mysteries of the Fleapit’s finest tomboy bartender!
