Tea posts before launch
April covered measurements, a fabric shader, and a shop rebuild. May covered nine of ten planned characters drawn, off-the-rack selling, and fabric names on hover. June noted 100,000 wishlists and Wholesome Direct. July locked 21 September 2026 and 200,000 wishlists, and said the upside-down fu character in the shop is intentional. August named the team and said the game was content-complete. September set the price.
