[Background Blog] September Development Update

Added 2025-10-01 00:19:19 +0000 UTC

Hey Patrons,

Compymono here! This past month we’ve been busy at work on Astatos Chapter II, including new story scenes and progress on the new Cascade Trial game mode. (I also took a week off for my first time travelling in 2 years but I did my best to keep up the progress schedule!)

With our focus on Astatos and the unavailability of our 3D artist for Lin & Partners this month, this update will only have info on our Astatos work, sorry!

Plus we announced collaborations with the furry rhythm game Crystallium, which features characters and tracks from both Nekojishi and Astatos!

Next month, we plan to work on finalising and scripting the remaining interludes for Chapter II and flesh out Cascade Trial a little more. (The systems are there, but it’s very barebones right now!)

We’ve also put out a new background art post for higher tiers, featuring artwork from Astatos!
