Theres now a new notification system that when you go up to certain items buildparts when you press i it now gives you instructions on how that works... this is still in development and items still being added but this is the start.
🎨 Exciting News: We've Transitioned to Playtest! 🎨
Animal Times has moved from demo to playtest as we bring the visuals to life! We've partnered with a talented 2D artist (who's also a passionate gamer) to replace placeholder art with polished, final assets.
This means you'll see the game evolve with each update as we refine the visual experience!
Let us know what you think of the gameplay so far - your feedback helps shape Animal Times into the best game it can be.
Expect playtest updates on a bi-weekly basis. Stay tuned! 🐾
Better displayed information, the mouse object which pops up when hovering your mouse over certain UI elements is bigger and there is more information displayed, hopefully this will improve readability and make things easier to see on smaller screens.
Spendings have been introduced. This makes the economic strategy of the game much more nuanced and fun, The spendings that have been introduced are, welfare, social, military, food tax, workers. There is also a police spending but this does not do anything until the next update. Having too low on the spendings will cause your parties popularity to shrink as well as stability. Same is true for food tax but if it's too high instead. Companies only have military and worker costs. Having low worker cost puts you at risk of a union reaction. Military spendings work like upkeep for divisions and basically becomes a force limit
If your party loses an election you are no longer in control of that country so be careful (You can always win back the election). As an authoritarian country (power level 4) or totalitarian (power level 5) you don't need to worry about elections but you will still need to worry about rebels. If you are an anocracy (power level 3) there are elections but you can rig them and also cancel them at the cost of reputability and stability.
Added a couple of more events like Vaccaro brothers being bought and a Mexico starter event to be guide your way a bit. You can now split divisions properly, some loops have been consolidated so it does not lag as bad as well as the HQ object being replaced with a list for the same reason. A lot more reasons parties shrink and grow. Made war between countries and companies have a war score, added the ability to set up a free enterprise zone if you are a company at war with a country. Smaller bug fixes
Updated tutorial to reflect changes. There may be some patch notes to fix some jank in the near future
The next update is a fun one, it will introduce criminality, cartels, loansharking, ransoms, organ trading, banks. I will also perfect rebels and protestors
basically like fixed some stuff. Most important remvoed the Magic Softlock and the ram eating bug with fullscreen
also removed graphics settings as they seem useless.
Expect more updates

Hello horror game fans, hope everyone is doing great! Today the demo for Terminal Shift has been updated, featuring new visual mode and improvements. Check below for all of the changes.

Added an optional VHS mode overlay with post-processing effects and a zooming mechanic. Bringing the nostalgic analog and eerie feeling to the game. The mode can be enabled in the options, under the "gameplay" tab.


Some of the textures are improved, creating more depth and fidelity.
Added some dust particles to the airport environment.
More realistic rain drops on the windows.


The flashlight is now more powerful, with more realistic light cone and distance.


While the game was planned to release somewhere Q4 2025, it has been slightly delayed, as I want it to be fully polished and with as much content as possible, more variations for the hidden numbers and multiple difficulty modes.
Terminal Shift is expected to launch April 2026, so make sure to Wishlist and leave feedback if you play the demo, it helps a lot! Thanks for the support!
You can now see your total sessions completed today directly on the timer. (Idea by milchreisgourmet)
The LED animation is now calmer and smoother.
Improved data refresh logic for transitions past midnight.
The idea to show today's completed sessions right on the timer came from milchreisgourmet on Discord. Great suggestion. I honestly wonder why I didn't think of it earlier. It's now implemented.
If you'd like to shape Poua too, join the Discord and chat with me. Many of your ideas could become part of the app.
Anyway, I've also received feedback asking for a feature to compare past and current records at a glance. I'm working on it. But since Poua has limited screen space, finding a meaningful way to show that is tricky. Any design ideas are welcome.

P.S.
While browsing through Steam screenshots, I came across something funny and thought I'd share it. (Shared with the original poster's permission.)
CHANGES
- Fixed a crash happening on the 3rd boss mumps (I hope)
- Fixed an error where killing some bosses would crash the game
