Gentlewoman Thief, Abigail Fortune

hi everyone! Fusoloid here with another short update on how things are going.

in short, aside from working on the game, i've been, among other things, getting used to my new day job. i've been mainly working on the script and puzzle ideas, but recently, my brain decided it wanted to get work done on new maps. here's a sneak peek:

i'm planning to make use of this positive momentum for as long as i can. thank you once again, and i hope to get back with an update soon!

hello again, everybody! i figured i'd update you all on the situation of myself and the AF project on this fine December evening.

Happy pride month!

Happy (belated) Chinese New Year! Here’s a small update about how things are going.

Hello, everyone. We're back with a bit of an update.

Short version: Due to the state of my mental health worsening towards the end of last year, progress with the game's development has been extremely slow. While things are getting better gradually, things aren't back to 100%, but I will keep going forward, and I will get back to working on the game full force eventually.

Long version: Towards the end of 2021, my mental health took a real nosedive. For months, I've had effectively zero motivation to work on the game, or do anything creative. Without going too much into the specifics (bc i don’t feel comfortable doing so), even opening up my laptop has felt too much for me for the most part. I've managed to get the help I need, and things have been getting better, but the state of The Me™ is still not back at 100%. So things are definitely going to be slow for a bit longer, but I am going to keep working on my mental health and my motivation.

At the end of the day, this is a project of passion for me, and I don't think I would be able to create an end product that is satisfactory to myself if I forced myself to work on the project no matter what. Things will get better, even though it may take a while longer. I know it would've been nice to see AF2 release this year, but it's not looking very likely. So, for now, I'm taking things easy and work on things at my own pace. Hopefully I will be able to make proper updates more frequently in the future.

Thank you for your continued support, and I hope to see you soon.

Happy holidays and a peaceful New Year from yours truly.

Team Fortune wishes everyone a nice Halloween!

We’ve been making progress with script writing, character designing, and puzzle planning. That being said, I’ve been taking things more easily as of late, as stress and various other things have been catching up to me.

However, I have been planning to start a bit of a series on this blog, as a world-building exercise and for fun. I will make a proper announcement about it when things become more fleshed out (and once I make up my mind about making it all happen).

As usual, check out the official Twitter and Discord for news and bants. Thank you yet again for sticking along!

Hello, everyone! I wanted to make a quick update about the game and my current situation.

Long story short, I managed to get a job, which means I don’t have to worry about making job applications for now! I’ve been keeping up with the game’s development by implementing puzzles, making new visuals, working on the script and planning other things, like new areas.

Of course, sitting at a desk for hours at work means that I will probably not want to sit at my desk after coming home, but I’ve been doing my best with the game. After all, I want to keep going and finish the game, but I also want to maintain my enjoyment of the development process. So don’t worry, things are progressing steadily.

Here’s a little look at some of the things I’ve been working on lately:

If you want to hear more frequently about how the game is going, I suggest joining the official Discord server by clicking here. I am considerably more active over there, so I suggest joining if you’re interested in more frequent looks of what I’m working on.

I have also been considering making monthly update posts about the development progress, but I haven’t made any final decisions. If I do decide to make monthly updates a thing, I will let you all know.

For now, thank you all for sticking with AF2′s development!

“All of these books are important to Marron, so someone should be looking after them, right?”

Team Fortune wishes you all a happy Valentine’s Day!
