LRT Happy one year anniversary of orvn toiling 😭🎉‼️ maayan finished the main script months ago and she and bri have been working hard on editing and polishing it even more since! as for me... from an art perspective I'd say I'm about 2/3 done with the illustrations and assets i planned...

Working on this game has been such a journey... It feels like every day we learn something new. Looking back at this board we really had no idea what we were in for... But we're determined to create the best game experience we can 💪💪

It is now officially ONE YEAR since we started working on our #orv game in earnest!!! 🎉🎉🎂🎂 To mark the occasion we thought we would share with you a bird's eye overview of our planning board. Chaotic but crucial for our workflow!

Screenshot of a Miro board. Sections include route planning, VISDEV notes, UI elements, etc. The text is too blurred to show any details.

This means so much to us! This game is born out of our love for STP and how similar we found some of the themes in Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, so we're happy you found us ✨

Hi! We're so happy you're excited for this game ✨ we would really love to have a Korean translation, but unfortunately it's too expensive for our budget 😔 안녕하세요! 저희 게임에 기대해 주셔서 정말 기쁩니다 ✨ 한국어 번역을 제공하고 싶지만, 아쉽게도 예산이 부족해서 불가능합니다 😔

Hi! Thanks for replying - you're right that the reason it wasn't mentioned was the character limit. However, we make sure to credit it on both our profile bio and on our website :)
