Here we are with Build 14. After last build’s pretty crazy event, this one is a lot more relaxing, in more ways than one for Ben, hehe.

This month, while very busy when it comes to real-life stuff, has seen us work through one particular scene we had been planning for a while, and going the extra mile to make it as polished and interesting as we could. I have to admit I’m pretty proud of it, but you guys will be the ultimate judge, and I’d be really interested in what you all think, so make sure to tell us!

I’ve also been able to design and sketch up four new character sprites, which should be the last new characters I concept for a while now. As such, Nate’s group (Candace, Niall and Addy), as well as Russell's rival Blake, all have a WIP sprite as of now. I’ll make sure to finish them as soon as possible.

On the writing side, we’re progressing at a pretty steady pace, and we hope to bring the end of the first act very soon. The last few route choices are coming, so get ready to make the final decision of who’ll you want to spend your time in Santa Lucia with!

I’ve also been working on something on the side. I’m not quite ready to reveal it, but it’s got everything to do with Santa Lucia and its universe. I’ll reveal further info on it in the upcoming months, but I wanted you all to be aware that more content exclusive to patrons is coming. Rest assured, this is something I’m doing on my own time as a “palette-cleanser”, so it’s not eating into the work I do for Santa Lucia at all.

I think this covers it all pretty well. I’d like to ask you guys that if you play and enjoy Santa Lucia, make sure to leave a positive rating for it on itch.io. While it might not seem like much, 5 stars rating actually contribute a whole lot more than you might think they do, and we’d love to have more people play Santa Lucia and join the community!

I’ll see you all soon!

Cheers!
