Howdy everyone!
I've recently heard that some people were having issues getting to the new Weavile content. This is just a tiny update to the previous demo to make the new scene accessible immediately after finishing the main story or skipping to the end using Chapter Select, no clock time-skipping shenanigan...

Howdy everyone!
It’s been a rough few months for my release schedule, and Baldur’s Gate 3 hasn’t been much help with that.
First on the agenda, the new side story released this demo.
This is the first half of the Nurse Weavile-related side story that’s been in the works. Some of you may remember that...

Howdy everyone!
This demo includes quite a hefty new scene, with possibly the longest script I’ve written outside of the intro, and a sizable number of CGs to go with it. It’s only the first half of the side story surrounding Nurse Weavile for now, involving his history and relationship with Salandit (with a little ...

Here are some of the CGs planned for the next demo. These are still currently drafts as there are inconsistencies between some of the images as well as some needing polishing to make them consistent with the others. There are still also 1 or 2 more to come that would fit in between some of these scenes t...

I apologize for the extended delay. We have expanded past our initial estimation of the size of this next demo. This, in addition to some road bumps in both my and Spooky’s life prevented us from releasing the demo at our planned release date some time in the middle of last month.
At the moment, ...

As mentioned in the earlier Progress Report, there are new assets for the Inventory, including both sides of the sea of toys that are pushed aside when you open it. We snuck a few easter eggs in there, hopefully they're not too intrusive!
Please enjoy!

Everstone Daycare - Progress Report (Aug. 31, 2023)
Howdy everyone!
I apologize for the last-minute post, but I have some last-minute news. The next demo is going to be delayed for a few days as I have to suddenly take a flight to attend a family member’s funeral. As before, I’ll be away from my PC and won’t...

A shorter post this time as I'd like to move my thoughts, personal updates, and future plans for the project to the Progress Report I will be posting soon.

Sorry for the delay. Here are a few new art assets we’ve made that we plan to implement in the upcoming demo!
We have a pair of sprites each for Lucario and Arcanine (drawn by me and Spooky respectively) that hopefully shows off a bit of the character we intend for them. They won’t play a major...

At Tennet’s request, and because I think it sounded nice enough to post, here’s the previous version of Zangoose’s theme that we ended up not using.

After many, many, many drafts, we’ve finally settled on and finished a theme for Nurse Zangoose that we’re happy with.
We wanted to give Zangoose a different vibe from the other nurses, with his theme being a little more intense than the other nurse’s. I wanted at least one of the nurses to h...

I forgot that I hadn’t posted this theme earlier. This is the sneaking, scheming theme that played in the last demo during the scene when you and Salandit were thinking up a plan to get into the Toy Room. With the nature of the game, expect to hear this theme more often than not, as you’ll be thinkin...

I apologize again for the long delay and radio silence these last 2 months. I've been a bit consumed with trying to finish this demo and make it as polished as I could after realizing I wouldn't be able to get it out by last month. I didn't feel like I'd be able to face you all otherwise haha.

Just a quick update. I'm still in quite a bit of a funk, the same once since last month, but I've been chipping away at the work needed to be done for the next scene. As with last time, if I'm not able to release the demo by this month, I will probably freeze payments for next month as compensation. Hope...

Here are the remainder of the CGs for the upcoming scene to be released. This will definitely be the most explicit scene added to the game so far, with art to reflect it.
We're still trying to find a balance between how innocent versus how adult we want the aesthetic to be, and how much we sh...

A teaser for what’s to come in the next demo! These aren’t all the CGs that we plan to include just yet, but as you can see, there’s going to be some ‘getting caught’ and ‘getting embarrassed in front of everyone’ involved.

A sneaky stealth theme! Fitting that we should have one with all the sneaking around that’s part of this game and story. This was actually originally a draft for Zangoose’s theme, but it sounds much better as a musical theme for when you’re secretly up to no good, doesn’t it?
