Not sure when the next newsletter will be, so I'm just gonna try to give small status updates as they become relevant.

Translation: The text and implementation are done, working on fixing some last issues. Testing: Still ongoing. One tester said "players will find it very inconvenient that you cannot save or load in the Light World"... I was initially resistant, but I decided to add Save Points there in Chapter 4.

Ch4 PC Testing / Translation: Winding down. No longer looking for new issues, only fixing and checking remaining ones. Console Testing: Starts tomorrow. The goal is to test Chapter 1,2,3,4 on all platforms (PC,Mac,Switch,PS4,PS5)

PlayStation makes it a requirement to have trophies (achievements), so those will be one of the things that have to be tested. I don't think they're going to like testing the trophies though

Still console testing. There are fewer bugs, but there's a lot to go through. (Haven't even tested PS5 yet) In addition to fixing Ch3/Ch4, we also need to implement having saves from the DEMO carry over to the main game on consoles... We only received the technology to do this now. I hope it works!

We implemented Pluey.

They only reported 1 bug yesterday (we've received over 500 individual reports since we started testing Chapter 3 PC) Feels like they're slurping the last drops of soda from between the ice cubes now

Very embarrassed cause I had to explain to the testers what magical glass is

In the next Chapters, all character-flavored tea items held in inventory and storage become the item "Rotten Tea", which heals only 10 HP.

The bug testing team just independently discovered Rotten Tea and asked if it was a bug lol
