Jay Ingle - lead developer, designer, and artist:

Sometimes I wonder what this devlog should be about. Is this a bullet-point list of what I have spent my work hours doing this week? Do I really want to tell you everything? There needs to be surprises!

Sometimes I feel like talking about broader issues in independent game development. How do you learn to code? What tools do you use?

Sometimes I want to talk about more personal things. Motivation, inspiration, work ethic.

I did a lot of things this week. I spent time working on automatically adjusting particle effect colors for new environments. I created some lava for you to fall into. I created an enemy that rises up out of the lava and spits at you. I also added the ability to switch the music to the next song by hitting a hotkey, for me and the playtesters as well. I also installed a Godot plugin, called G.U.I.D.E., which handles input. Remapping keybinds in Godot can be a massive pain, and G.U.I.D.E. does a great job at providing a much simpler framework. It also has full documentation, as well as several video tutorials on Youtube, created by the developer. Highly recommended.

This week, I studied a lot. If you are looking for the best overall pixel art course that I have found online, check out Pixel Art Master Course on Udemy. It's very thorough and helpful. I spent time reading a game design book called Level Up! by Scott Rogers. It is very good at breaking down all of the details of game design. I read Beginning Game Development with Godot (2021). I did not learn much. I am not THAT much of a beginner. I also read some of a French comic book called "The Obscure Cities" and the mysteries in the stories are very much inspiring my subversive creativity.

Here are some tools I use for game development. The Godot game engine. Very nice, open-source, constantly being updated, and learning resources are abundant. Pyxel Edit. This is the best tool for creating tilesets, period. It is not as fully-featured as Aseprite, lacking powerful features such as custom brushes, but for simple pixel art, tilesets, and animation, it is extremely useful.

Now how is my personal game development journey going, for me? Well, I am motivated. This is my dream job, since I was a little kid, and I have a huge drive to create worlds, craft stories, and provide unique experiences to players. I want to create games that are infused with my own personal creativity.

Once upon a time, I watched Twin Peaks season 3. I thought it was the single most uniquely creative visual project I have ever seen. Everything single moment of the show was pulled from the depths of David Lynch's creative mind. And I was ashamed. Why am I not putting ALL of my creativity into everything that I am doing with my life? I remember this moment, and I continue to work to release the unique vision that I have inside.

We did it. YOU did it.

Paws and Leaves is officially funded.
This little dream that lived in my heart for years… is going to become reality.

Every single one of you made this happen. Whether you backed for a dollar or became a Co-Publisher, you carried us here.

You believed in a small, heartfelt game about memories, love and the fleeting beauty of life.
And in believing… you gave it life.

Our Kickstarter is running till 04. September 2025. You can still join and become a part of the foundation!

Yes, we will be at Gamescom this year.

I talked about prices for a booth at Gamescom already on the old campaign in one of our updates (Click to read old Update).

For everyone who will visit us: 

We have very special goodies and you can also win a 3D-printed figure of Paws and Leaves. 

If you play our demo, you get a ticket for our raffle to win that big Paws and Leaves statue which was handpainted by Vanessa. Everyone who wants to win needs to be there in person but has the chance to take home something special!

Bring a friend, lets talk, celebrate, laugh and have a wonderful time at Gamescom!

Thank you for giving Paws and Leaves a future. Thank you for making our hearts feel so full. And thank you for reminding us that even the smallest voices can be heard when enough hearts beat together.

Florian 🦊, Vanessa 🎨 and the whole team

Hi friends, as it became usual once a year, happy to say I'm still alive, still in the army 3 years through the war.

August 2025 marks 75 000 copies of Titan chaser sold since its release, and your support helps me significantly to keep my sanity during this crazy time. I no longer feel myself as a game developer, although I hope to return as soon as our neighbors stop claiming our cities and people as their and killing my friends in the process.

Until that happens, I can only continue do what is right as the part of Ukrainian Armed Forces, count on your support through my existing games and continue to absorb this horrible experience as inspiration for the future projects in case I get the opportunity to make them.

I hope next year I'll have something more gamedev-related to say, but for now thank you for being here and cheers!

Thank you all for your support! The official version 1.0.0.0 of game has been updated!

[color=yellow] I have compiled the player issues encountered after the official version update for your reference: [/color]

[color=lightgreen]1. What are the contents updated in the official version? [/color]
Q: This update mainly covers the Westward Journey plane, the Abyssal Beast Tide gameplay, the World Tree Holy Beast gameplay, the 4th and 5th level classes, the achievement system, and the Holy level equipment, etc
You can browse through the previous released news or enter the game and click on the lower left corner to view the update log.

[color=lightgreen]2. How to claim the redemption code for the internal test collector's character Zhao Yun? [/color]
Q: Zhao Yun's redemption code has been made public. After entering the archive, press esc and click on 6666 to claim it. (Invalid if already claimed)

[color=lightgreen]3. How can I claim the activation of the supporter pack in the game after purchasing it? [/color]
Q: Enter the main game screen and check that the confirmation green is highlighted at the lower left corner, indicating that the supporter pack has been activated.
Enter the game again, click on the municipal center of the main plane and select "Claim Gift" to activate it.

[color=lightgreen]4. Will there be any updates after the official version of the game? [/color]
Q: The official version is just a stage, not the end. The game will be updated with more content and DLCS for expanded gameplay.

[color=lightgreen]5. Why aren't Steam achievements activated automatically? [/color]
Q: Enter the Celestial Treasure Record - Record the Divine Journey, click to activate the achievement, claim the corresponding Star Soul rewards, and at the same time activate the steam achievement.

[color=lightgreen]6. Some players are unable to enter the game? [/color]
Q. Situation 1: The word "nwjs" is displayed and access cannot be made: Clean up the C drive to leave sufficient cache space
Situation 2: Unable to start, the steam button keeps showing "Cancel" : Right-click on the game installation directory and directly run game.exe
In case of any other situations, you can post on the steam community or enter QQ and I will assist in solving them

[color=yellow] I will correct the content of this update based on everyone's feedback and suggestions! [/color]
[color=yellow] If you like "The Record of Treasures in the Heavens", please give it a steam review! Thank you for your support! [/color]
