Virgo is hiding in the lands of Pisces~

Pisces will be a very whimsical world, with elements that don’t exactly fit or make sense. They’re just there because Pisces accepts everyone and everything for who they are, no matter how misfit they can be. Its neon colors are inspired by the ocean, although I didn’t really want to do the obvious “mermaid” approach to the sign, since I think she’s a free creature that couldn’t think of harming anyone, unlike the Mermaid’s tale.

Time for another one, ya’ll.

We hope it’s worth the wait!

𝟙. 𝕄𝕖𝕖𝕥: 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ρ๏ρρєтѕ!

The poppets are silly, magical little helpers-- made from cloth, stuffing, and love! You can find them all throughout the world, performing their designated jobs and mucking about.

These goofy cloth creatures that have been brought to life by a witch’s spell. They are loyal, helpful, and very funny. And if you give them a voice-box, they can speak! Be wary, however, since if they enter the wrong witch’s hands– they will do whatever the witch tells them to do…

Say hello to just some of our sack-friends!

𝟚. 𝕊𝕡𝕣𝕚𝕥𝕖𝕤

Due to The Botanists lack of verbal abilities throughout some of the game, he needs to be very visually expressive to get his emotions about! Thus, I’ve put together quite a few sprites for our special plant-loving kid!

A yes and a no...

A cheeky grin!

A triumphant fist-pump!

And something very magical...

And on the topic of sprites...

Naël and Your Admirer’s sprites are done!

There may be mixed feelings out there about quick-time events-- but these are so purdy you’ll forget all about it.

Unfortunately, our VA for Nael and Charlotte can no longer work with us. Thank you Berri and Edgelord for all of your contributions to the game! I couldn’t appreciate it more <3

Sad tidings at bay, we have a new member of the team!

Drumroll please....

@birdiesenpai is the new, wonderful voice actor for Naël! His work is infinitely impressive, and he is the perfect fit for our feline compadre!

Please show him some love!

- A hiding system is currently being worked on

- You now have to manually use items from the inventory

- The poppet’s sprites are being worked on

- We’re focusing a lot on sound design, to make Cadeau a unique and interesting experience

That’s all for today folks! I hope you enjoyed <3

How’s it goin’ you guys? o/ Happy Memorial Day!

If you remember, this is an extension of Sunday’s update. We’re going to be going over a few cool things, so let’s cut the chit-chat and get right into the thick of things:

Here we have the first map of the Botanist’s chapter!

What a pretty flower bed. Perfect for a picnic, or perhaps something rather unexpected. We’ll see!

We also would like to introduce a new member of our team... Strap on your socks people because we have to formally-

Yes, @dottovuu​ is our new VA for Charlotte! They are extremely talented in what they do, and we’re stoked to have them on the team! SMASH that like button if you stan dottovu and birdie senpai!

On to spookier pastures-- do you remember the monster concept we presented a while back? Well, it’s refined and better than ever!

Warning!: Freaky af content below. If you are sensitive to horror imagery/morphed humanoids, be wary!

OH GOD WHAT THE F-

Yup, these are the horrible creatures that haunt Cadeau now. I hope you're happy because I certainly am not.

I’ve spent so much time doing sparkly anime things that I almost forgot this was a horror game! Time for a slap in the face, I suppose.

These cursed things are embodiments of a witches greatest nightmares (as you could imagine) that have become corporeal-- and want nothing more than to murder you dead. As we’ve discussed in the first part of this update on Sunday, you will be able to hide from them. Even the pupper.

Now that we’ve officially haunted your dreams forever, I think it’s time to close off this update. It’s been lovely as always! ( . u .)\

Hello everyone! Time for another update (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

𝟙.  𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕤 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕓𝕒𝕔𝕜! (𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕒 𝕤𝕠𝕣𝕥𝕒?)

Upon popular request, I’ve found a simple way to partially re-implement Charlotte’s loved overall costume.

While her fabulous starry-night dress remains for about 90% of the game, this outfit of hers will be seen from time to time~ .★.;- .

Don’t worry about the mud or the band-aid, she likes to get into trouble is all

𝟚.   ℕ𝕒𝕖𝕝'𝕤 𝕒𝕣𝕥 𝕚𝕤 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖! o(≧▽≦)o

( and I’m actually proud of it this time ;] )

He’s handsome, he’s suave, he’ll f*cking murder you with his claws

I love to express who my characters are through various means... Speech, actions, emotions! However, making my characters exterior match their interior is-- first of all-- really fun. But second of all, a way for the player to generally understand their dynamic by just looking at them.

I wanted to take a darker, dare I say *sexy* approach to his design, in reflection of his character. I felt a blonde, light color-oriented attire wouldn’t express who he was. It just felt a little to innocent.

Naël is cunning, sly, somewhat manipulative. Dark and sleek is my only option here... I mean, come on!

𝟛.   𝕊𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕋𝕠𝕥𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕪 ℝ𝕒𝕕𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕝 𝕄𝕒𝕡𝕤

This map makes me effing delighted. I love pumpkins so much........ they’re just..... little guys...thats all

Wonder where the path is leading, though?

It’s nuts to say that we’ve gotten past the demo, now I can give a progress report on the game as a whole!

Art: 80%

Explanation: Every single character art is complete! However, Naël is missing his expressions and is trapped with one single emotion for eternity. That being, smug knowing-ness. (How true to life)

And “Your Admirer” has to get-- what I like to call-- “a dress transplant”

Voice Acting: 90%

Explanation: Every character’s emotes are complete, however, Charlotte is getting a re-do on hers to fit her change of personality since the beginning of development. Courtesy of our lovely voice actor for Charlotte, Breaugh Olson!

Maps: ???

Explanation: I don’t yet want to put a pin-point on how many maps will be needed in the long run-- at least not yet. Let’s just say: it’s going to be quite a few.

Story: 99%

Explanation: I just have a few minor things I want to be sure on, but other than that the story is all laid out in front of us!

The progress for this game is going fantastically, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. The amazing team that I get to work with, the support from everyone here on tungle.net

Honestly, it’s unimaginable. Thank you all, so much. From the goddamn bottom of my little baby heart ;_;

And to close off this progress report, I want to thank you for following the development of Cadeau (＾▽ ＾)

Mini update!

Hi! I have a big update stored in drafts-- but I have to add a few things to it.

Until then, here are a few things that we’ve done.

I’ve started on Charlotte’s new bust art. I’m actually pretty excited for this since my art has improved from when I first made her bust. Everyone else’s art is higher quality and has evolved with my style. While.... she has kinda stayed behind and looks a lil derpy. Not for long!

She will have 2 alternate outfits. (3 if this certain idea I have in my head comes to fruition)

Here is a title screen mockup! It’s very rough and the art is VERY mediocre. But that.... i s ok a y

Tell me what you think! Longer? Shorter? Try something else? I’m dont care! Moving on.

Do you see his nails? Do you understand how much I Love This Dude.

This is the map we finished during the stream! It’s a well that Charlotte will be plummeting down. (You will be seeing a lot of these!)

Follow us at: twitch.tv/cadeauproject to never miss a stream!

That’s all I have for now!

Thank you for following the development of Cadeau. A bigger update coming later
