- Hotfix for lily’s world XD Demo! - 17 June 2026
Hey everyone! I recently released a patch for the lily’s world XD Demo covering a few fixes. Thank you all for your support on the demo so far! I had a typo on theradiantpath.com where I misspelled Seraphine. I added a dog photo to Iris's Palster profile. The game should now work on ultrawide monitors. There is also a mode in settings where you can change the resolution. Pressing esc will now open the settings menu. You could drag articles of clothing in the start screen of the dress up game. Now, you cannot do that. In the messenger, the current date is displayed. When you talked to Iris, that date would disappear. Now, the date continues to display. Updated the credits list (I forgot to mention someone). In the music player, I accidentally put a shortened version of a song. I also fixed a couple of the artist names. Updated the email UI to be clearer. Now when you have an inbox or dra…

- Dev Update: It’s been one crazy summer! - 22 October 2025
I know you haven’t heard from me in many months, but I wanted to reassure you all that… I AM NOT DEAD. Just dead tired (but in a good way!). I’m still hard at work on lily’s world XD, so I wanted to give you all an update on what I’ve been up to and also on my development progress so far. This summer was genuinely crazy! I was a speaker at VidCon, then I was a featured creator at Open Sauce (a nerdy content creator convention), then I went on tour for my voice acting. For those who don’t know, I play the villain One in Battle for Dream Island and Pepper in Inanimate Insanity. For the tour, we went around the US premiering our latest episodes and meeting our community. THEN I went to London to visit my publisher Kwalee (Oh yeah, I have a publisher now!). I then went to New York for the content creator conference Publish Press NYC and then to Anime Impulse. With all of this international…

- I'm working on the demo + Preview! - 6 February 2025
Hey everyone! I'm so excited to see the support for lily's world XD. I've gotten some questions about whether the game will have a demo, and the answer is yes! I finished a build, got some feedback, and now I'm iterating for the second round of playtesting. I'm not sure exactly when I will launch the demo but sometime in 2025. Here's a sneak peek of the demo, a dress up game! I was inspired by the girlie flash games I played as a kid, so I made my own version. https://i.imgur.com/r2ALQpC.png For those who are interested in a more intimate look into my development process, I have a free newsletter where I send updates every month. If you're interested in playtesting, I will have a sign up form and details in my next email! Join here. Thank you everyone for wishlisting lily's world XD! We have surpassed 20k wishlists.
