been meaning for a while to work out an stylistic approach that feels painterly/collage-y while feeling consistent and straightforward to produce naked ranzo for scale, as usual

We're still a long way off any kind of release, & I still plan to put together a shorter project as a way working with a designated team. That being said, this is the first time in the history of the project where I have looked back at a route from start to finish & thought "I'm happy with this."

Next steps will be to work with an editor to ensure the scenes flow well together and to assist in making the other routes follow a similar pattern while remaining distinct and surprising.

I chose to wrap up Joe's first because it focuses the most on 'what happens when', both historically and in the day-to-day events. This means that It's a big deciding factor in the pacing of every route. Getting this squared-away essentially stops me from making a million on-the-fly changes.

With it being a year since Billy's update, I decided to set myself a deadline, which I'm happy to say that I've met. That deadline was finishing the story structure for the project. As of tonight, I'm putting a big 🔒 on everything that happens in Joe's route. I'm happy with it (& I have to be!)

When I've worked out exactly where to re-upload the project, I will post about it here. If you see it hosted on any other platforms before this time, they are unofficial. - choob

With the recent updates to Itch (and many other sites), I'll likely be archoving the current build of Dawntide in some shape or form. Though I don't think this build will be affected by the changes, the changes themselves show which direction a lot of online platforms seem to be moving in.

• Stepping away until my employment status gives me more time to work on the project. • Hiring a dedicated team, most notably an editor and a coder. • Adopting a more centralised collaboration process. • Working on something shorter to build experience. • Establishing a reliable source of funding.

As promised, I've put together some information on why I've declared a hiatus and what my plan is for the project's future. The full document is available to download from the game's itch page. I suggest reading it if you'd like to know all the info, but I've included some bullet points below.

There will be a v1.14 later this week to catch whatever small issues are likely still lurking around, but hopefully this update resolves the more glaring issues that were impeding gameplay for the Ranzo & Griff paths.

0130

Dawntide VN @dawntide.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

Patch v1.13 fixes the following: - The 'Sayer: Scorn' error across all scenes - The issue with Graham's scene triggering the wrong opening if you spoke to Joe at the Wheelhouse - General typo fixes - Credits not fading out the music in Ranzo & Griff's routes dawntidedev.itch.io/dawntide/dev...

v1.13 Patch

Just uploaded a new version of the build, featuring the following changes: All known typos have been corrected. I'm sure there are some more swimming around; just let me known in the comments below if...

Dawntide VN @dawntide.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

This should be fixable today, but I'm going to hold off on publishing in case anybody notices any other issues I can address in the meantime.

Dawntide VN @dawntide.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

Apologies to new readers especially, as this is affecting the Ranzo and Griff routes most heavily. The main error is caused by the renaming of a character voice in the files. I thought I'd caught all of the changes in the script to match, but it looks like some of the changes weren't saved.

Dawntide VN @dawntide.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

We've had a few more bugs reported, so we',re going to provide another patch for them this week. Unfortunately, I'm back at my day-job now, so this will take a bit longer to fix.

Dawntide VN @dawntide.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

There will be a new version of the release uploaded this morning to catch some stray typos and an error that seems to be showing up on some devices.

Something else it's probably worth mentioning: there are two endings to this chapter!

Billy's update will feature new flashback art from @joldfish.bsky.social !

The words 'Dawntide' and 'April 20th' superimposed over a minimalist pink and white background of a set of railings. A hare and a kestrel are sitting on it, looking disinterested while the hare inflates a blue balloon. A cat and a wolf stand opposite them. The cat looks at the wolf with uncertainty. The wolf looks at the hare with a sense of irritation.

As mentioned before, some assets in this release will be works-in-progress. These will be replaced with finished versions at a later date. After this release, we'll be posting more info on the future of the project's development and what our plans are to reduce the amount of time between updates.

Billy's always first off the mark and Riley's thoughts move a mile a minute, so what happens when circumstances bring everything to a halt? The bunny's update releases on Easter Sunday 🐰

A promotional image with titles reading: "Dawntide. Billy's Route, Chapter Two: Paralysis. Coming April 20th.

The illustration features Riley and Billy standing atop a hill in sports gear. The hill, as well as a pilalr at its peak, are silhouetted in hot pink. Behind them is a huge, billowing cloud and a set of contrails, cutting through a bright blue sky.

Something to flag ahead of time is that a number of visual assets (including some new sprites and a couple of CGs) will be in sketch/WIP form. This is to minimize any further delays and are intended to be replaced at a later date.

Dawntide VN @dawntide.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

General update: the final elements of the Billy chapter are underway. This is mostly a case of... - Cueing music & SFX - Checking player choices paths - Putting together the title card animation & updating the credits - Final playtests Hoping to have a date announced soon!

Was going to keep new art under-wraps until the announcement, but it's Mar-Ten, so here's a wet noodle.
