🦊 Devlog No.2 – Update 0.6

Hey everyone,

First of all — I owe you an apology for the silence since Christmas.

I got properly knocked down by a flu that just wouldn’t let go. Constant cough, zero energy, sleeping more than doing anything productive. Not exactly ideal when you’re trying to build a dark fantasy world 😅

I’m still not 100% back to full power, but I’m finally at a point where I can properly concentrate on the project again — and that feels good.

✍️ Story Thankfully, a large portion of the writing was already completed before I got sick. That means V0.6 is in a solid place narratively.

Depending on how smoothly the remaining systems come together before release, I may even expand parts beyond what was originally planned. If the flow feels right and time allows, I’ll push it further. If not, the core is already strong and ready.

💻 Coding Coding currently sits around the halfway mark.

Core systems for V0.6 — especially relationships and weapon mechanics — are actively being integrated and tested. This phase is less glamorous than writing, but it’s where everything either works beautifully… or explodes spectacularly.

Right now, it’s mostly behaving.

📖 Compendium The Compendium continues to grow. More lore, more character depth, more interconnected pieces of the world are being added.

It’s becoming less of a simple log and more of a living archive that expands alongside your journey.

🏪 Shops & Trading I originally planned to fully integrate the shop and trading system into the story for this update.

Realistically, that won’t happen in V0.6.

The system itself is progressing, but meaningful integration into the narrative will most likely land in V0.7 — unless I manage to extend content further once everything else is stable.

I’d rather delay it slightly than rush it in half-baked.

🗓️ Release Window The planned Q2 2026 release window remains comfortably within reach. Despite the temporary slowdown, development is still on track and aligned with the roadmap.

🔮 Looking Ahead V0.6 is shaping up to be a systems-heavy update:

Full relationship impact

Refined weapon mechanics

Expanded lore depth

Stronger structural foundations for future content

It may not be the flashiest update on paper, but it’s one of the most important ones for the long-term direction of Black Fox.

Thank you all for sticking around — even during quiet phases. Development isn’t always loud, but it’s always moving.

More updates soon. Back to work. 🦊🔥
