Hello friends,

I have been having a lot of fun working on Teeth Cutter and just wanted to talk about it for a bit. The demo previously had 2 games and now contains 3. This will be the last update for the demo unless there is a major game-breaking bugs (or regular bugs I guess).

The finished game should have around 10 games when it launches. I was also thinking about making the full game early access at around 7, then if the game has a strong reception, expanding the development to 20 or more games. I am unsure about the route, though, as I have never done early access and don't want to feel like I am scamming people. I would be curious to get your opinion on it.

Regardless, the marketing itself I am finding challenging. I don't think I am a particularly entertaining person, so I don't think devlogs are the right way for me to market. I generally don't like doing social media in general, and based on the stats, it really seems like that might not be a good option in general right now. I think I am going to reach out to some YouTubers to see if they are interested in a horror demo and see how that goes.

All that to say if you know someone who enjoys horror maybe show them this game. Also if you enjoyed the game maybe leave a review! It helps Steam to know to show the game to more people the more reviews it has.

Anyway, enjoy the demo update and feel free to let me know what you think!

Small little patch based on watching playthroughs.

• Added sparkle prefab on door at beginning of game.

• Added instruction on door for quick introduction to gameplay.

• Altered the closet jumpscare to be more effective.

• Removed random marker location at end of trash room in security room hallway.

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all enjoying your time in Aurora while you grow crops, befriend the townsfolk, and decorate your adorable little homes. I just wanted to share a small personal update so you know what's happening behind the scenes right now.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be away from development while I'm in the hospital for treatment. Don't worry, I plan to return as soon as I'm able! When I am in better health, I'll jump right back into fixing bugs and issues you report and continue to work on improving the game based on your feedback. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding during this time. Your kindness truly means the world to me.

And from the bottom of my heart: thank you all so much for supporting me! 💚 Without this community's support and encouragement, I couldn't be here doing what I love. I might still be out there working boring jobs instead of being able to work on Peaceful Days, so I'm very grateful for everything you've given me.

I can't wait to keep growing our little Peaceful Days community together!

See you soon, and take care!

I am happy to announce a huge patch to Imperial Ambitions demo and playtest in this update!

Here are some of the changes;

Players now can consume Book and Art to research techs in the Tecnology Tab on the left page. They can also view the current technological status on the right page.

Tech tree contains over 180 techs and the names of some techs may change between game sessions. This design choice was introduced to make players to rely on the name and the definition to draw their own research path. Just like real science, you'll have to break a few eggs to make an GM omlette.

The upgrades view had an overhaul, visualizing the skilltree and the dependencies of each upgrade. Also, players can choose to skip their upgrade for art or book (given that they have relevant traits).

Now players can recruit agents and units at non-capital towns as well. The recruitments are bound to buildings, which can be built by the Builder agent.

These buildings are Barracks, Stables, Cathedral, Opera House, Grand Salon and Academy.

==SFX==

We have started adding audio for the Tutorial Lady. Currently, only the "Supply and Demand" tutorial has vocals, but soon all of them will be vocalized.

Unclaimed tiles are automatically added to neighbouring factions if at least 3 neighbouring tiles belong to a faction.

Now ledger can be accessed using keys. Key bindings are shown in the tooltips.

ESC button is not available to close/open menu or close the Ledger.

Now Shadowmaster can provoke a riot succesfully.

Traits now get tooltips, explaining reasons and/or effects of the trait.

Now plundering has a low chance to drop logistic level. Plundering enemy routes is now even more destructive.

Spearman, Fusilier, and Gentleman are added to the game.

Now Military Engineer (Builder upgrade) can build Fort and Starfort. General can build Palisade.

Shadowmaster can now blow up buildings, given the order is low.

General can now increase the order by introducing martial law. It is useful to calm down small scale protests, but can cause protests to escalate into riots faster. Lenient Occupation has opposite effect.

Now FOW gradually increases instead of sharp increase at the edge of the range distance, giving a more soft transition and shading.

Page flip animations now work properly.
