[h3][b]Year-End Update & 2026 Roadmap[/b][/h3][p][/p][p]As 2025 comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to reflect.[/p][p][/p][p]Whether it was writing, editing, programming, or developing, this year has been a busy one for us at Vincere Studio. Game development is no small task — it often means pouring countless hours into details that may seem trivial on the surface, from choosing the right font to rewriting the same passage over and over until the tone feels just right. And while it’s always worth it in the end, when you’re deep in the process, it can sometimes be hard to see the forest for the trees.[/p][p][/p][p]We’d also like to extend our sincere thanks to our community. Your support, kind words, and thoughtful feedback have been a constant source of motivation and inspiration. They truly help more than you might realize.[/p][p][/p][p]With the holidays upon us, we want to wish you and your loved ones a happy and restful holiday season. We hope you’re surrounded by warmth, love, and a bit of well-earned downtime. Looking ahead, we thought it would be the perfect time to share a roadmap for 2026 and what you can expect from Vincere Studio.[/p][p][/p][h3][b]JANUARY[/b][/h3][p][/p][p]We’re kicking off 2026 with the launch of [b]Cerulean Invasion [/b][i](January 22nd)[/i], a space opera–inspired visual novel featuring space cadets, high-stakes conflict, and compelling romance. Drawing inspiration from [i]Starship Troopers[/i], [i]Mass Effect[/i], [i]Star Wars[/i], and more, this is a project we hope will grow into a trilogy of interconnected stories. We’re excited for you to experience it.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3373860/Cerulean_Invasion/?curator_clanid=45219073"][/dynamiclink][/p][h3][b]FEBRUARY[/b][/h3][p][/p][p]February brings the release of [b]RED OPS: Side Story [/b][i](February 10th)[/i], a shorter adventure told from the perspective of Chris, a fan-favorite character. This story puts his skills to the test as he investigates the mysteries surrounding Paradiso City.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink href="steam://openurl/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4073880/Red_Ops_Side_Story/?snr=1_5_1100__1100&utm_source=steamwidget"][/dynamiclink][/p][p]We’ve heard your feedback regarding [i]RED OPS[/i], including its structural challenges, and we truly appreciate it. With [i]RED OPS: Side Story[/i], our goal is to address some of those issues and continue refining the experience as we work toward properly concluding the RED OPS saga. We look forward to reading your thoughts after launch and building upon them.[/p][p][/p][p]February will also feature the demo and Kickstarter launch of[b] [i]Amber’s Quest[/i][/b] — an adventure game where a diverse cast of characters comes together to uncover the Lost City of Caesars in South America. Amber’s Quest is a self-contained story, and we can’t wait to share more details once the campaign goes live.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink href="steam://openurl/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4178570/Ambers_Quest/?snr=1_5_1100__1100&utm_source=steamwidget"][/dynamiclink][/p][h3][b]LOOKING AHEAD[/b][/h3][p][/p][p]As you can see, 2026 is shaping up to be a very busy year for Vincere Studio, with even more planned beyond what we’ve shared here. We’ll continue to keep you updated along the way. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We hope this roadmap gives you a clear bird’s-eye view of what’s to come — and that it leaves you excited for the year ahead.[/p][p][/p][p]Wishing you a wonderful day, [/p][p][b]Vincere Studio[/b][/p]
