Hey all! Just a short update for the month of May.

With all the extra time I have had to work on the game, the last couple of months have proven to be quite productive! Lets take a look at the chart first and foremost.



With the exception of a couple of short scenes, Area 4 (Lamp Land) is now effectively done. This proved to be one of the most asset-intensive areas I had planned for the game, with three separate tilesets as well as two fun* minigames to help break up the flow of combat. Once the finishing touches on Area 4 are completed, I'll be preparing to move onto Area 5 to round out the rest of Chapter 2.

Though the chart above may indicate that we're just under halfway in development, this also doesn't account for all of the time spent building the game's systems, UI, and other groundwork that constituted the first 3-4 months of development. I can confidently say that Soma Union's development is now past the halfway point! So thank you to everyone who has followed the project up to this big milestone.

And a huge shoutout to SpecialAgentApe, whose tracks are once again truly bringing this game to life. You can check out some of the tracks he's provided on the game's Media Page.

It's hard to believe that Soma Union has already been in development for 10 months: roughly the development time for the original version of Soma Spirits. Compared to the first game, Soma Union is shaping up to be quite the undertaking. And I hope to see it through to the end!

Keep on the lookout for more updates, and be sure to follow the Torch60 Twitter for the occasional update as well!
