We are back with a short development update for AmaTisMo. As we mentioned in our latest news posts, we want to keep sharing progress on the game every month, even when the update is small.

The demo is now very close, so we would rather let many things be discovered directly by playing it. Still, we wanted to share two new work-in-progress environments before August arrives.

Progress on the game's art

We are still working on the art for AmaTisMo. The images we are sharing today are works in progress: details are still missing, the colour, composition or finish may be adjusted, and some parts may change before the final version.

Panoramic colour illustration of the On the way to the university environment at dusk. The scene shows an empty residential street viewed from a corner, with pavements on both sides, high walls and pink-orange houses. The sky is dark violet and cloudy, street lamps stand near the edges of the road, and two tall poles dominate the foreground. Some windows reflect warm light. A banner across the bottom reads Work In Progress | AmaTisMo.

Panoramic colour illustration of the kitchen in Amatista's home. A rectangular grey dining table and two brown high-backed chairs stand in the foreground. In the background there is a counter with a sink, brown cabinets, a grey extractor hood, a coffee maker, a white refrigerator and two hanging lamps. The walls are pink, the floor has warm tones, and the environment still has the linework and unfinished surfaces of a work in progress. A banner across the bottom reads Work In Progress | AmaTisMo.

Demo coming in the first half of August

The AmaTisMo demo will be available on Steam during the first half of August 2026. Our goal is to release it for Windows, and we will try to make it available for Linux and macOS as well.

If we find errors or important issues in the demo, we will not simply leave them for the final version: we will work to fix them in the demo too. We want this first public Steam version to be useful for players and for improving the game with real feedback.

About languages

We have also made a small change to the Steam page: for now, we have removed Japanese from the list of planned languages. We would love to include it someday, but right now we do not know if it will be possible, and we would rather avoid promising a localization we cannot guarantee.

Thank you for continuing to follow the development of AmaTisMo. The next important step will be the demo, and we are excited for you to experience this new stage of the game.
