Hello everyone! I hope you’ve all had an interesting week. I know I have.
Sin Spire released a little over a week ago, and the reception has been… good. Surprisingly good. I expected more pushback around difficulty, and while that feedback definitely showed up in reviews and discussions, the game also seems to have clicked with a much larger audience than anticipated.
Before getting into anything else, I want to share one important announcement:

Hello everyone! I hope the new year has treated you all well so far. I’ve been… not-so-busy. At least not with game development. Mostly getting over a bit of the seasonal blues and the post-new year hangover. That said, I feel like I can afford the luxury, as the game doesn’t have much left to do (famous last words).
I’ve now been given all the translation files for Chinese and Russian, and I’ll be getting those implemented this coming week. There are still some other...

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas/Happy New Year! As promised, this is the Christmas post that doubles as a bit of a yearly retrospective. This post marks my first full year working under the Krasue name, making games. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get to it.

Hello everyone! As we approach Christmas, I'll become busier with things external to the game's development. As I want to spend what free time I have to work on the game and write up the Christmas post, I won't be writing any Dev Logs probably for the remainder of the year. To try and make up for this, I've decided to post some previews of the animations to go into the game before the 1.0 release.
The Butcherette and Wraith now have front animations where before they only had back. The...

Hello everyone! Today’s post will be light on developments regarding the game as there’s not much to discuss, but I do have some big news to kick things off:
Sin Spire has officially been approved for release on Steam!
This is a huge deal and a massive milestone not just for Sin Spire but my game dev career in general. With this, I can now release the game at any time. It’s a huge relief – waiting to find out whether I’d be allowed to sell the game on St...

Hello everyone! This is release 0.5. Quite the jump from 0.1, but a lot has been done. A large number of bugs have been fixed, and there have been quite a few general improvements. A lot of the bugs were long-standing issues that never got addressed, but thanks to you guys sending me reproduction steps, I was able to squash most of them. There are only a handful of bugs left, though a few of these I’ve already accepted will end up in the final release.
On the topic of...

Hello everyone! Sorry for not posting anything last week. I had intended to get either a new Dev Log or even a new build out, but I ended up spending most of my time crunching to get the Steam Build Review version of the game ready.
As of writing this, the build is still under review. I submitted it on Monday, but I’m not sure when the process will be compl...

Hello everyone! I’ll open today’s Dev Log with an admission: I’ve been distracted.
Not completely – it’s not like I’ve spent the whole month goofing off – but things that should be simple have been taking longer than they need to.
A few logs ago I mentioned that as we got closer to the finish line, things became strangely harder to work on. Now that the game is closer than ever to completion, I’ve found myself slowing down a bit again – unintentionally, but...

Hello everyone! At the beginning of the month, I released Sin Spire’s first beta test build – hopefully the first of only a few. After that, I took a longer-than-intended break from development.
While some issues were found with the released build, feedback overall has been generally positive. In this Dev Log, I’ll be going over what’s left to do for the game and how long things mi...

Hello everyone! I’m happy to finally share the first beta release of Sin Spire! This build isn’t as polished as I’d like and there are still a few noticeable omissions, but the game is fully playable all the way through to the credits.
Before you dive in, there are a few things I want to mention:
Hello everyone! Sorry for the late post. I’m quite tired and have a few things to cover, so let’s just dive right in.
Boss Fights & Cutscenes
Last time, I mentioned there was only one boss fight left. I’m happy to say that, that fight is now finished! I’ll keep the details light for now so you can experience it when the time comes, but wi...

Hello everyone! The last couple of weeks have been pretty intensive and there’s plenty that’s been worked on. As usual, I don’t want to outright spoil things, so I’ll keep some details vague regarding content but will allow myself to post some teaser images (like the above). I realized that keeping everything hidden behind spoilers up until the next build isn't fair to ...

Hello everyone! I’ll be keeping today’s Dev Log brief as I don’t have too much to discuss openly. First, though, I’ll address the absence of last week’s Dev Log. As some of you know, I had some non-dev obligations that resulted in me being away from my computer for a while. The length of this period was actually longer than I had anticipated and as such I was gone for a little over a week. Previous to that, I hadn’t made much progress since the last Dev Log.

Hello everyone! I was originally planning to return to a bi-weekly schedule for Dev Logs, but with the recent release of build 0.0.5a, I figured it’d be worth posting a quick update to go over the general reception and what’s been worked on since release.
The Build
The build seems to have gone down well overall. I didn’t fix many of the major flagged bugs from the original 0.0.5 release, since most of my focus was implementing the new dialogue -> sex scen...

Hello everyone! This is update 0.0.5a – long overdue, I know. It doesn’t have all the content I originally planned, but I didn’t want to delay things any further. I’d rather get this into your hands now and address any issues as they come up.
So, what’s new in this build? Since this isn’t a numbered update, there isn’t a huge amount of new gameplay content:
Hello everyone! I started writing this quite late today, but there’s not too much to cover. Unfortunately, as you can tell, this isn’t a release post. My goal was to have the new build ready, but this past week didn’t exactly go as planned. I’ll do my best to break down what’s been going on.

Hello everyone! This week wasn’t as productive as the last, unfortunately, so I’ll keep this log brief on details. I had to take care of some non-dev maintenance – boring stuff I won’t get into – but I still managed to make some progress toward the next version of the game. The goal is still to get the update out soon.
Here’s the bare minimum of what to expect in the next version:

Hello everyone! Last week, I had hoped to release a new small build update, and crunched over the weekend to try and make it happen – but in the end, I didn’t have enough time to actually complete what I had set out to do and polish it. Realizing this, I decided to put out a poll for the first time. In it, I asked if I should delay the release or follow through with an unfinished buil...

Hello everyone! This is my first poll and kind of a spontaneous one. As mentioned in the last Dev Log, I planned to drop version 0.0.5a tomorrow. The good news: most of my stated goals are done! The bad news: said goals are very rough and buggy.
I also got sidetracked working on a few systems to support Savina's animations and also started working on new purification sequences for enemies that didn't have them. Everything mentioned is in a half-finished state with not a...

Hello everyone! Apologies for the lack of images this week – most of what I’ve been working on is either still very early or tied to spoilers that I’d rather hold back on for now. There’s also been a fair bit of non-visual progress that doesn’t make for great screenshots.
That said, I’ll be upfront: development has slowed down, and I’ve fallen behind on the work I had planned.

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well. May was... a bit of a weird month. Not much got done, unfortunately. As some of you know, I took a break at the beginning of the month (which I mentioned in the last dev log), and then managed to squeeze in a couple of tasks before running into some major PC issues.
After a sudden bluescreen, my boot drive stopped booting entirely. And to make a l...

Hello everyone. Brief update today as I'm a bit pre-occupied. As you can tell from the title of this post, I've run into a problem with my PC. Last night, I blue screened (BSOD) and found that my computer would no longer boot. After trying the usual troubleshooting steps, I made a tweet and stepped away for a while. Today, I started running some tests and it does look like that the windows installation on my C Drive got corrupted. I have been able to access the files through an external SSD e...

There’s a lot of new content, most of which I’ll leave for you to discover (assuming the bugs don’t get in the way too much).
