Patreon Recap - July 2019 (Patreon)

What’s up, gamers & gamettes?

It’s August, and that means there’s only one month left of summer! (If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, that is.) Time passes by so quickly, you know? Wait, but the autumnal equinox doesn’t happen until the 23rd of September… Rounded up, that’s, like, almost two more months of summer! I just want this heat wave to be over…

Anyways, here comes the July Patreon Recap! Last month, we had a total of 7 posts.

• Public: patreon recap, heart of the woods VA + physical + kickstarter announcement 

Here’s the link to last month’s Patreon Recap in case you wanna page back. Our most exciting reveal last month, however, was uncontestedly our big Heart of the Woods announcement! Maybe it’s cheating a little, ‘cause it’s essentially 3 announcements in one. English voice acting is coming to Heart of the Woods! We’re also planning on releasing limited-edition physical versions of the game for both PC and Nintendo Switch (you didn’t miss our Nintendo Switch announcement from June, right?) To help fund VA and physical releases, we’ll be holding a Kickstarter by September, so stay tuned. We’re also holding auditions until August 12th, so don’t miss that, either! More details in the linked post.

• $1 patrons and up: general update 

Of course, we had our usual monthly general update! The hype for Heart of the Woods on Switch doesn’t look like it’s dying out anytime soon.

• $5 patrons and up: celeste academy second date, hotw demo technical post 

We continued the Celeste Academy series with Carida’s second date, written by Kastel. This time around, Carida’s date was Lexa, a rather brusque librarian with hidden dreams. Hope you’re excited to see the candidates for her third date!

We also took a look back at the demo for Heart of the Woods that released in 2018, when the full game was still in development. It’s neat to see how the game evolved in less than a year!

• $10 patrons and up: melanie pinup 

For our $10 patrons, we shared a saucy pinup of our mascot, Melanie, illustrated by milkgrrl! The nudity pretty much speaks for itself, so go check it out.

• $20 patrons and up: wdol logo sneak peek 

Finally, we shared a sneak peek of all the drafted designs we have for the logo of our upcoming title, WDOL. Though everyone’s heard the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover” a billion times over, a game’s logo needs to capture the atmosphere of the game in one succint graphic. Go check out the post if you wanna check out our ideas and design process. And, of course, hope y’all can look forward to more details and reveals about WDOL as development continues!

Looking back at July, it’s clear that there’s no shortage of things to look forward to in the last four months of 2019. Until then, we live in the present, waiting for the constant passage of time to move us forward… so that this heat wave can finally end. God, being outside makes me feel like a fork in a microwave.

Oh, and before I forget, there’s only one more month left for our summer merch collection! Once August 31st passes, these limited items will be gone, so don’t let it slip you by if you’re interested. Once the next monthly update rolls around, you’ll be out of chances to snag some of our cool summer gear and get discounts on our other tees!

That should be everything. See all y’all in September!
