Spring 2025 Developer Update for Peccaviens

Welcome to Spring! It really has been a while since we have made one of these developer updates!

We've been hard at work on Peccaviens section 2!

Let us take a look around at what we have been working on!

Battle System

So, the battle system has been getting some work done!

Here is a side by side comparison of the bullet board of the old version and the new version.

As you can see, we now have a new and improved battle timer! Instead of just the remaining time, you can now see a progress bar. This makes it easier to see how much time you have left.

The battle system also has been going through some more changes. The hitboxes for all attacks have now been made to be the same size as their sprite. Now, instead of taking damage by just being next to the attack, you will take damage when you intersect with the attack.

Enemies on the bullet board also have a white outline, but this is currently experimental, and we will continue to experiment with this.

We have also been experimenting with multiple party members as well as a brand new way to interact with enemies! Stay tuned for more updates to come!

Section 2

Lets take a look at section 2, the hill section! We have an assortment of screenshots for you to look at!

That's all we have to show, folks! Be sure to stay tuned on our BlueSky page! That's where most of our progress will be shared!

Overall progress

Yes, Peccaviens has now finished writing! Except, we will still have to do some more polishing and vetting for the writing. We've got a lot to do, folks!

We have worked on new music for the new section, but you can also listen to the old music right now!

Future plans

I have had to take a break, both because I have burned out a bit, and because of my upcoming exams.

After my exams, I will start to work on Section 2 again. Feel free to pick apart what has been shared in the current screenshots for Section 2!

Note that everything is still subject to change, including the current demo for section 1.

We are also thinking about making a discord server for all of you guys to talk in! Let us know about this plan in the comments below!

Conclusion

It is hard to promote this game, but feel free to follow us on bluesky! Thank you to everyone who has already supported us there!
