September 2024: Demo 2.0 Development BTS [Legacy Update]
🕑 Added 2025-07-27 23:46:34 +0000 UTCCome see how the sausage was made! Here's a legacy update where we discussed using placeholders and other behind-the-scenes development from Demo 2.0!
Welcome to the September update!
We've got some exciting teasers to share with you today đ
Illustration Sneak Peek
âTruth or dare?â đČ
As we've mentioned in past interviews, all of our monstrous love interests are doomed unless you're on their route. In fact, you might even catch a glimpse of their tragic fates when romancing other characters. Poor Leander is no exception, and just like the rest, his demise is... well, mostly his own fault.
Got any guesses as to what his undoing might be? đ€
Demo Update Teaser
Many of you brilliant people have correctly guessed that weâre in the process of updating our demo! You are very perceptive and we are mildly afraid of you.
We are incredibly grateful for all the feedback youâve given us on the existing TOUCHSTARVED demo, and based on your thoughts and feelings, weâve decided to polish certain demo scenes, add more choices, and make adjustments to the origins. The screenshot weâve posted above features one of many changes in progress! 
Weâve posted sneak peeks of other updates on socials, but here is an âšexclusiveâš look at one of Leanderâs polished scenes. Weâre very excited to get your reactions with this quality increase, and of course have been keeping your feedback in mind for the full routes as well! đ„
Placeholder Backgrounds
A little behind-the-scenes glimpse for you: while our writing and art teams are hard at work, placeholders are the unsung heroes of development. They keep everything running smoothly in the meantime.
not!Kuras writes poetry and it is very depressing.
Youâve already met not!Kuras, one of our NPC placeholders⊠but did you know we use placeholders for literally everything else?
âAis, you live like this?â (echoes, because thereâs no furniture)
Yes, thatâs a sneak peek into Aisâs room... for now. This image is a placeholder we donât even own, but it lets our writers get cracking on scripts, transitions, camera effects, and more while the actual art is still in progress.
not!Vere is an instagram influencer and Iâm 100% getting scammed by him.
This is a beautiful combo of a placeholder background with a placeholder sprite. What do you think of Vereâs cousin? đŒ
One of the most rewarding parts of game development is seeing everything click into place. Final assets come together like puzzle pieces, creating the immersive experience that started as just a vision in our heads. Of course, it takes a lot of coordination across our multi-disciplinary team to stay true to that vision, but itâs a challenge we gladly accept!
yikes !
Since we gave you a funny dev screenshot, hereâs something more ominous: Sure, youâre a survivor... but can you survive this? đđ€
Thatâs All For Now!
That wraps up our September update! We canât wait to share more with you soon.
