Happy 3rd of June everyone! This devlog arrives only now because Curtains Call had a bit of a... hectic release! But we're all good and caught up on responsibilities, May Wolf madness stuff and sleep.

I've planned to do a little collab for this year's MAY WOLF for a while now. Each year for this jam I make some goals for new things to try, and for this year it was to work with a team member. I teamed up with Loudo since he helped save me from the self imposed code hell from Terminated and since I really liked his previous entries for May wolf.

Working on a VN in a team was delightful and a learning experience for me. I would like to go over a more thorough post mortem and go over the details a bit later, so I'll spare you all the juicy details and horror stories of my own boyfailure moments for now.

Both of our ambitions ended up being bigger than the amount of time and energy we could dedicate to dev time in a month (as usual), so please consider this as a prototype of the VN. Don't let the 1.0 version in the game name fool you. Seriously, don't worry about it kitten...

As for Terminated, I never believed I would become one of those people who post a devlog almost a year after the last update and say "hey bestieees, sorry for the lack of updates but life got in the way" BUT HERE WE ARE.

The little unpaid catboy Temp Hire intern is still working very hard on the second update, which is still scheduled to be the grand finale. What is taking so long? Mostly some good ol' scope creep, getting distracted by other jams and real life demanding too much time and energy. Good news is that I managed to escape my old job that was draining my life just as this May ended. Bad potential news is that maybe that was the source of my power when writing the hellish workplace of Terminated that people liked?

But for now I have a bunch of jam submissions to read and rate, and I hope you will join me and do the same. Please enjoy Curtains Call!
