March 2024 Monthly Update (Patreon)

Here's a look at what we did in February!

-We figured out some longstanding issues for Izzy's route in Samayuni, so Syon's been working on revising that outline while progress continues on the other routes! We've got a long haul ahead of us as far as work on Summer goes, so expect a lot of "we made more writing and art progress in Summer!" posts as the year goes on. We'll be releasing a slightly updated version of the demo again sometime in the future - no major changes, but we're updating one of the backgrounds and the ending scene of the game. We've also gotten a few new backgrounds done, for one of the planets in Hanna's route.

-We held a casting call for voice actors for Our Home, My Keeper! We received nearly a hundred auditions for the game. We have yet to finalize any selections for any of the roles, but this part of the process is always one of the most exciting~

-Work has finally begun on the Switch port for Please Be Happy. It took us a long time to be able to find someone to do the porting, but we're excited to have it in progress at last. Our goal is to have the Switch version ready to release in June, although we'll see how that goes. We're also working on a PS5 version of the game as well. We'll be skipping Xbox and PS4 this time around.

-Adi's been doing a lot of work on some stuff for Without a Voice to correspond with the game's 4th anniversary on the 20th of this month. More on that later… 👀

-Speaking of anniversaries, we just somehow celebrated the fifth anniversary of Heart of the Woods' release! Merch club patrons got a postcard of the celebratory illustration that adi drew for the day. Also, just a reminder that you can order a physical copy of the Switch or PS5 versions of Heart of the Woods on Amazon from Limited Run Games. It's also available on their site and elsewhere too!

-We announced that we're going to be at Offkai Expo near San Francisco again this year! It's shaping up to be a pretty big event for us, with several of us attending in person. We'll have new merchandise for sale, and we're planning something cool for a panel too. We also want to host a meetup of some sort for fans. Like last year, we're sponsoring the convention alongside our associated Vtuber group Virtuality Project by providing a bunch of art,. You'll be able to see art from adi, Theo, Cilphy, and more around the convention and on their socials.
