March 2026 Progress Report

Hey there! It's Elijah (AKA Cookie Gourd) here to update you all on the current state of Impish. I've got some exciting updates and some... concerns for the future.

Current State

Okay, I'll start with the good news first: The game's development is showing no signs of slowing anytime soon! There's of course bugs to fix, art to draw, music to compose, and levels to design, but development is going very smoothly! Now the bad news... well... sort of???

The game is definitely going to take longer than we first expected... probably way longer at the current rate. That's not to say that we won't get it out eventually, it's just a massive undertaking at the moment, and one that's certainly more than we originally planned for.

The current plan as of now is to get a demo ready for everyone to get their hands on. Kickstarter backers at a certain Tier or higher will likely receive it slightly earlier, but it will eventually be out to the public for free.

Future Plans

So if the game is taking longer, when can I expect it?

The answer is complicated. The earliest you should expect the game to be out is at least in the second half of 2027, but who knows what problems we may run into...

My point is: Expect it later rather than sooner.

Exciting Teasers!

Cheer up! It's not all doom and gloom! Here are some teasers for the first area: Lucifers Castle.

Conclusion!

While the game may be going down the factory line slower than it should, we are still working hard nearly every day to bring you all the best game we can! With that, this concludes the March 2026 Progress report. See you soon!
