7388.loving(Grace) — October 2025 Monthly Progress Report

It's time for the monthly progress report! A lot has been done in the art department, and I'm excited to share it with you all! First, however, I feel as if I must make an important announcement: I have obtained a full time job. What this means for development has yet to be seen, but I will do my best to continue the development of 7388 at a reasonable pace. Hopefully the influx of money will allow me to spend a little more on hiring outside help to make up for the loss of free time!
With that being said, let's get into it.
Art


The bulk of the work has been, once again, done on art! This time, quite a lot of progress has been made on the sprites of Merope and Diana, as well as Yulia. These three all got streams, which you can view through the following links: Merope 2, Diana ($5+ Patron only), Yulia ($5+ Patron only).
This is a good pace for the sprites and will ensure their completion within the year. We're excited to share the full sprites when they're done!
Miscellaneous

Both the key art (bottom) and main menu graphic (top) have shareable drafts as well. There are other color variants for the key art that we're currently playing around with. There may be a second key art (or the main menu art will be utilized as a second key art), but that has yet to be seen.
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten a chance to sit down and work on the writing for a long enough period of time to constitute a significant progress update. Hopefully next month brings an opportunity for me to do so despite the shift in employment situation!
That's all for this month. See you in November! (Or October, if you're a Patron and can get access to devlogs a week early.)
