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.

This time, we are showing new work-in-progress images and talking a little about the demo, which is now available to download on Steam.

Game progress

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

Panoramic colour illustration of Amatista's bedroom viewed from one corner. The walls are purple, and the scene shows a low bed with a brown headboard and green mattress, a chest of drawers in the foreground with purple drawers, a dark window on the left filled with small bright dots, a small poster on the back wall, and a table beside a barred window on the right. A banner across the bottom reads Work In Progress | AmaTisMo.

Panoramic colour illustration of a secondary university hallway, shown with deep perspective. Large windows and a wooden bench line the left side; a grey structure stands near the centre of the corridor and a window is visible at the far end. On the right there is a door and a row of green lockers. The walls are yellow, the floor is made of white tiles with black lines, and the ceiling includes rectangular lights. No characters are present. A banner across the bottom reads Work In Progress | AmaTisMo.

Work-in-progress colour portrait of Paula's head on a grey background. Paula has light skin and long, wavy orange-brown hair with a lot of volume, fuller on the left side of the image. A broad strand falls over one side of her face, while the rest of her hair spreads into soft pointed locks around her neck. Her eyes are closed, her eyebrows are thin and arched, her cheeks are lightly pink, and her small mouth forms a very gentle smile, giving her a serene, shy and kind expression. The drawing still shows sketch lines, visible shading and areas of colour that have not been fully polished. A banner across the bottom reads Work In Progress | AmaTisMo.

Work-in-progress colour portrait of Amatista's head on a grey background. Amatista has light skin and long dark purple hair, with straight bangs across her forehead and thick strands falling on both sides of her face down toward her neck. Her eyes are brown and look to one side, with slightly lowered eyelids. Her nose and mouth are drawn with simple lines; the mouth turns down slightly, creating a serious, tired or worried expression. The hair shading uses lighter and darker violet tones, and the drawing keeps visible outlines, sketch strokes and an unfinished finish. A banner across the bottom reads Work In Progress | AmaTisMo.

About the demo

The AmaTisMo demo is now available to download on Steam for Windows, Linux and macOS. From now on, we will prepare bug fixes as reports come in and as we receive more feedback.

We want this demo to remain useful throughout development, so we will not leave every adjustment for the final version. If we find important bugs or issues that affect the experience, we will work to fix them in the demo too.

We have also received repeated feedback that the demo feels short. Because of that, we are considering the possibility of adding Chapter 3 to the demo, although this is not confirmed for now. We want to evaluate it carefully before promising an expansion that we may not be able to guarantee.

Thank you for continuing to follow the development of AmaTisMo. We will keep sharing progress on the game, listening to your feedback and improving the demo little by little.
