Hikari Game Update

Dec 24, 2023

Hope you've all been well! :) I'm reposting this from my Patreon since I feel there're more people here, and it's been awhile since I've posted Hikari stuff. But before that, happy holidays to all of you! I hope you're all safe and healthy :) Today is a momentous day! Hikari has officially left the tutorial area!! While there's still a lot of work to be done, I'm worried that I may not be able to finish in time for the end of the year. My plan is for the demo's length to end at Hikari's personal sanctuary, though a lot is still missing. That said, I think I can keep it cut for now and release a leaner demo now - while releasing a more fleshed-out demo later. The reason why Perils of Sparrow took so long, and why so many saves broke in every update, is that I kept adding in new mechanics. For Escape, I'm trying to have most of the mechanics already built-in. Things will still break, but the idea is to spend more of the dev time completing content rather than adding in new things.
