Hello everyone! This is the HIPS N NOSES development team.⭐
Welcome to our 3rd official HIPS N NOSES devlog!
Thank you so much for all the feedback and responses on our last Week 2 devlog.
Your interest and support always give our team a massive boost of energy!😍
Development is progressing smoothly, and in this devlog, we’d like to share a sneak peek into what we’ve been working on for the Week 3 segment of the game.
Let’s dive right in, shall we?
👩🍳 Hiring Part-timers
Do you remember Paulette, the NPC we introduced for the first time in our last devlog?
In Week 3, you will finally be able to hire staff through Paulette to help run your cafe!
Each staff member will have a designated role, helping Mella manage the newly expanded cafe space.
We’re also planning to add a staff customization feature in the future, so please look forward to it!
🔎 Week 3 Story Character
The main story character for Week 3 is none other than Sasha.
Sasha is always accompanied by a butler—what kind of personality and backstory do they have?
We are currently writing Sasha's story to ensure they are just as charming and captivating as their appearance, so stay tuned!
⚔️ Stage 3 Development
Since Stage 1 was themed around Spring and Stage 2 around Summer, some of you might have already guessed what’s next.
That's right! Stage 3 features an Autumn theme, where carts roll along train tracks surrounded by countless fallen leaves.
The monster designs follow a Steampunk concept, and you'll also encounter brand-new bosses with unique attack patterns.
🤝 Animated Trailer Announcement!
To align with our demo release scheduled for the second half of this year, we’ve decided to include a short animated sequence in our upcoming new trailer!
While we only have a rough storyboard to show at the moment, the final animation will be revealed alongside the improved demo version. We hope you're as excited as we are!
That’s all for our May development update!
HIPS N NOSES will continue to improve, polish, and create new content based on your valuable feedback.
We’d love to hear your honest thoughts!
Thank you so much for reading until the end!😎
