vd0.3e / Steam Next Fest, TouhouFest 2025 Update

attempting the gamedev equivalent of “now draw the rest of the owl” is weird because i’ll feel like i haven’t gotten much done but then write a changelog like this and go “oh. huh”

Changes:

• Hub areas, blacksmith and flower shop NPCs added
• Yeeting, charge, weapon swapping mechanics added
• 3 weapons (“parasols”) added
• All NPC portraits updated
• Using a sakura petal restores one usage of tea, if tea has already been picked up
• Seasons system preview
• Renmerry marriage readded (finally)
• At least 23 bugs fixed (apparently)

Things to be changed:

• Mac version (I won’t be within radius of the build machine for it for a minute sorry mac people)
• Per-season gameplay changes

Demo is also available on Steam as part of the June 2025 Next Fest (it’ll stay available there after the fest ends). And I’ll be at TouhouFest this weekend with a playable build once again (gaming hall, Noetic Nightjar Studios table in the corner); feel free to say hi if you’re there?
