I’m continuing to polish up things here and there in preparation for the demo build! Steam Next Fest I also recently received an email invitation to Steam Next Fest, where upcoming Steam games can show off their demos and host livestreams. This will be happening October 3–10, which works out pretty nicely for…

What a week…well, let me try and go through some stuff here. Release Date Probably not too surprising to anyone (least of all me), but the estimated release date for Rhythm Quest has been pushed back from “Late 2022 (?)” to “Early 2023 (?)”. Note the question mark ;P Some life stuff…

Not too much to report this week, just another level in world 4 done. I do have an update on the shop rework as well, though. Shop Rework Update Last week I wrote about an experiment where I moved the in-game shop to fill one of the spots on the level select screen:

Despite struggling a bit with other stuff in my life, I managed to do some more music/charting/backdrop work in order to finish out world 3! New Level 3–4 Backdrops This originally used to be level 3–2 (and the first introduction of the multi-hit ghost enemies), but got bumped over to become level 3–4 because…
