Salutations and welcome to our very first official development thread for Lustrya!
Over the past few weeks, we've been hard at work laying the foundations for development while simultaneously pushing forward on several major pieces of Early Access content (scheduled for 2027). Today, we'd like to share some of the progress we've made and give everyone a glimpse at what's happening behind the scenes.
Behind the Scenes – Core Development
The first few weeks of development have largely focused on establishing the core foundations that will support Lustrya moving forward.
This has included implementing several essential gameplay systems, dialogue functionality and the early stages of castle construction, camera function and expansion mechanics.
While much of this work takes place behind the scenes, these systems form the backbone of the entire game and will allow us to continue developing new features and content much more rapidly moving forward.
Next on our development roadmap is the implementation of the save system, another vital milestone as we continue building toward Early Access.
Milking System Update – Seraphina Complete
We're pleased to announce that Seraphina's milking renders are now complete!
With the Milking System visuals now wrapped up, our focus will begin shifting toward two major areas: the production of our upcoming Cumbat renders and continued preparation of the castle's visual foundation and room designs.
Celestia Development Update
Work on Celestia continues to progress nicely behind the scenes. We're happy to report that we've recently completed her very first bartending idle animation, bringing a layer of personality and life to Lustrya's tavern.
Over the coming weeks, we'll continue creating additional animation variations to further flesh out her role and make the tavern feel even more alive and interactive. Be sure to check out OppaiCon.com for more Celestia goodness!
Miriku's Village – Lusty Meadows
To finish things off, we'd like to share a small update regarding Miriku's homeland; Lusty Meadows.
We're currently hard at work developing the visual layout and overall look of Miriku's environment, carefully shaping the village into a location that feels warm, cozy and uniquely her own. There's still plenty more to reveal, but we're incredibly thrilled about the direction it's taking so far.
We'll have much more to share on Lusty Meadows in the coming weeks.
Thank you all so much for your continued support. Development is moving at an incredible pace, and we're excited to continue sharing our progress with you every step of the way!
