Hi everyone! 👋

This past month has been incredibly busy, but I’ve poured every spare moment outside of my day job into bringing this game to the level it deserves. Thank you all so much for your continued support and for believing in this journey!

Today, I’m releasing a major update that completely redefines the game’s atmosphere and optimizes its core systems.

Here is what’s new:

🌊 The Cliffside Ocean Club (Our Final Foundation)

• A Brand New Atmosphere: The club has been completely redesigned! By integrating this stunning layout, the venue is now perched on a scenic valley cliff overlooking a vast ocean.

• Visual & Texture Overhaul: Most textures have been updated to match this dark, sleek, and high-end aesthetic. Note: While this serves as our final visual foundation, it will receive further polish.

⚙️ Technical Upgrades & C++ Optimizations

• llama.cpp Updated: Our local AI engine has been updated to the latest version, bringing smoother and faster real-time dialogues to your machine!

• Blueprint to C++: Critical systems have been migrated from Blueprints to C++ for much better stability and performance.

• Bug Squashing: A handful of general bugs have been resolved, and optimization remains a top priority.

🚀 The Road Ahead & Whisper Mode

• Next Steps: The immediate next phase will focus on continuous bug fixing and introducing brand-new interactable NPCs.

• Whisper Mode: The wait is almost over! I am actively working on the underlying framework for Whisper Mode and plan to roll it out in the next 3 to 4 versions (about 2-3 updates away).

🧠 Passion, Learning, and Bouncy Brawl As a solo developer, I am always hungry to improve.

Alongside Neon Angora, I’ve been working on a smaller side project called Bouncy Brawl. Developing this fast-paced game allowed me to tackle Unreal Engine from completely different angles and master unique dynamics in a shorter timeframe.

I’m taking everything I learn from Bouncy Brawl and channeling it directly into Neon Angora. My goal remains the same: to use every tool I master to bring this passion project to the highest level.

Thank you for being part of the ride. Stay tuned, and see you on the cliffside! 🪩
