YOU LOVE ME, YOU REALLY, REALLY LOVE ME!
Okay, okay, let’s all take a breath while I’m clearly not Sally Field and we’re still several scandals away from an Oscar. But 1,000 views on itch.io? Honestly, for a K-pop survival show in its infancy, that is a damn good start.
Thank you to everyone who followed, played, and judged my life choices this month. I know I’ve been a bit quiet on the official updates, but that’s only because we’re deep in the laboratory building a glow up that actually hits. So, I heard some rumors... I saw Yuri’s diary entry. apparently, the maknae can’t keep a secret. Since she already leaked the news about our technical wizard and those anchors, I might as well give you the official deets.
🛠️ The Technical Exorcism
My developer, Zarifjon, is currently migrating everything to a Custom ReactJS Engine. We are using Zustand for state management, which I’m 90% sure is just a German curse word for "this state is a total mess" lol but who cares? What matters is that you are finally getting a Real Save System so you can stop having a mental breakdown every time you accidentally close your browser tab.
Chapter 3: The Villa (Episodic Release)
This chapter has turned into such a massive narrative beast that I’ve decided to release it week-by-week, survival show style. Here is a look at what happens when the masks finally start to crack (week 1):
Hierarchy of Gold: In this house, the wristband you wear determines if you’re the Queen getting a VIP massage or the servant cutting fruit for the rest of the group.
The Inner Circle: I’m finally letting you inside the heads of the icons with exclusive POVs AKA Noa-ssi & Minjae-ssi. You’ll get to see the world through their eyes in all its lilac-colored, trauma-sparked glory.
Minjae said it best:
"I built them a sanctuary of glass, and he shattered it with a single clap."
The receipts are coming very soon. Don’t blink. (Or do, if you’re a Blink 😉)
