Hey everyone!

June has flown by, and we’ve made a ton of progress that we’re excited to share with you in this month’s development update. Here's what we've been working on:

1. A Warm Welcome to Kicks
First and foremost, we’re excited to introduce someone who’s recently joined us behind the scenes — Kicks!
Kicks started as a play tester and has recently been lending his skills on the programming side, working on the new in-game phone apps and a new minigame. We’re incredibly grateful to have him on board. <3

2. Patreon Poll & Wallpapers
This month we had a Patreon poll that helped us name one of our newest characters - Maeve. Thank you to everyone who voted and helped shape the game!


We also created a new set of exclusive wallpapers for our Upperclassmen-tier supporters as a thank you for your continued support. We appreciate you. <33

3. Patch V0.1.1 — New Locations & Demon Master Cards
As many of you already saw, our first patch went live this month. It introduced a few new locations and added another batch of collectible Demon Master cards to the game.


4. A TON of New Art!
A majority of this month has gone into completing a ton of new art, including new backgrounds, UI elements, character poses, and some other in-game graphics that we're excited for you to see. Here's just a sample of what we've been working on.

5. Writing Progress
As always, the unbelievably talented Dr. Bird has been hard at work writing and polishing scene after scene and I cannot wait for you to see what she's been cooking up. <3

6. Steam Next Fest Milestone
During Next Fest week, we passed 12,000 total wishlists on Steam! Thank you all so much for making this event a success! It really helps more people discover the game.

7. Introducing Ruben
We’re thrilled to reveal a little sneak peek at brand-new character joining the world of Edgefield. Meet Ruben! He works in the dorm mailroom. We'll be doing a proper introduction to him in the near future, so stay tuned!

8. Update Name - Welcome Week
That's right! The first major update for Edgefield officially has a name!

The Welcome Week update will cover your character's first full week at Edgefield. You'll be attending class, exploring campus, meeting new people, furthering existing relationships, and maybe even finding a part time job. College isn't cheap, after all. It’s the real beginning of your journey and the first step into the full experience that Edgefield will offer.

We still don't have a date locked in, but we're getting there! We appreciate your support and patience as we work to make this the best it can be. <3

Thank you all so much!
-Gopher & Dr. Bird
