Hey everyone, Syon here.
It's been quite a while since I've posted here. Which is my bad, entirely. If you've been supporting us, I sincerely appreciate you more than you could know.
With all that said (and on the off chance you don't already know), Studio Coattails has merged with Studio Elan. Or, at least, our visual novel division has. This was announced waaay back in October, but all the preparations are more or less in place now. All the details about this merger can be found...

Hey everyone, Syon here!
It’s been a long time coming, and I really appreciate your patience, so I’m very excited to be giving you all our first big National Park Girls episode 5 update in a long, long while!
As you may or may not know, the writing for NPG 5 has been done for well over a year. I thought that would translate to a much quicker release time, since it was all drafted before the release of episode 4, but unfortunately we had some major roadblocks when i...

Sorry for posting this late, Caps. - Syon XOXO

Hello again, welcome to my second development post for Twofold. I have a talking point lined up for today, but first I wanted to provide a quick progress report: as of last month, we've entirely finalized our script! Everything is locked down and we're 100% committing to it. It's a bit scary to say that after so long of things in flux, but it's a giant milestone! This unblocks a lot of other aspects of development, especially in t...

Hey everyone, Syon here!
Sorry for the extended absence. Things have been shaping up on our end and I've been so busy with all the different projects that the Patreon just kinda right past me. Whoopsie.
Here are the wallpaper and pfp goodies as usual! This month it's of Caprice, from First Snow and the upcoming visual novel Twofold!

Hi there! This is my first monthly blog post talking about Twofold and it's development. Since we're starting out fresh here, I figured it'd be appropriate to talk about how Twofold compares and contrasts with First Snow, since that's an easily accessible point of reference for everyone (because it's free and you should download it if you haven't already! This post will be spoiler free, just in case.)
So, I believe the first thing we outta go over is my role in Twofold compared to what...

Hey everyone!
A little late this month, but we still got our goodie for ya.
Recently, we announced that the currently in-production visual novel, Twofold, will be joining the Studio Coattails family as a co-production. As such, you can expect a lot more Twofold content here on the Patreon now! Starting off with this wallpaper and pfp of it main character, Olive, designed by our GUI designer (and TF's lead developer), Caps! (formerly known as TopHat).
Enjoy!

Hey, everyone! .
In a recent post here on Patreon, we alluded to us having a major announcement to drop this month. If you watch the recent Elan Con stream put on by our friends over at Studio Elan, then you might already have an idea…
Several months ago, we partnered with Salty Salty Studios to release a voice acting patch for their free-to-play visual novel, First Snow!...

Hey everyone, Syon here!
Been a bit since we've done a goody! Apologize for that! Here's a Joe that our GUI designer TopHat did.
Joseph doesn't always get a lot of love, so we wanted to do something special for him. To the one Joe stan out there, I see you and you're valid.

Hey everyone, Syon here.
Sorry for going so long without an update. It's been a very quiet couple of months.
Rest assured, National Park Girls Episode 5 is still in development, so let me put any concerns to rest. Unfortunately, development is stalled at the moment. This is mostly due to the art situation. Satchely, in addition to being the artist on the project, has a fulltime job that occupies a lot of her time. This has prevented her from working on NPG as much as s...

Hey everyone! Syon here!
While since you've gotten an art update, so we figured it's time to smarten you up on the haps lately.
As mentioned in the past, the entire cast (except for Jessie, sorry Jessie stans) will be getting a new outfit for Episode 5! Well, now we can show you the first glimpses of those outfits!

Hey, everyone. Been a little bit since we've had an update on Episode 5 for ya. Wish there was more I could show you, but rest assured, things are coming along. The first draft has been written for ages now and we've been spending some time polishing it up.
We've started recording with the VAs, as well. Yosemite has officially wrapped (big props to Rachael Messer for an amazing performance, you're gonna love it). We'll be moving on to the others pretty soon. I've just been busy wi...

Hey everyone, Syon here! Been a minute since we had an update for you, and honestly there's not much else to say except that Episode 4's production is coming along reasonably well. All the art is done (save for one minor variation to Yosemite's outfit) and I've been recording with the voice actors and choosing takes. You'll most likely see it released during the summer!
In the meantime, we have an exclusive sneak peek of Episode 4 for you. It doesn't reveal toooo much, but it might give...

Hey, everyone. Syon here.
This isn't a developer diary, NPG update, or anything like that. This is (and get ready for this) a State of the Patreon blog post. Ominous, I know. But it's actually not all bad, so if you read through it, I think you'll find that this is a very reasonable update. Or rather, adjustment.
We've been running the Studio Coattails Patreon for quite some time now, and we are very grateful for all the support and feedback we have gotten since we've launched. Ho...

Happy Februarymas, friends and foes! We're back at ya with another NPG dev diary/blog/update/whatever this is.
Progress on Episode 4 is going scarily well. Writing has been done for quite some time now. We're putting stuff in the build. Backgrounds are being turned in. And I'm sure you'll also be very excited to hear that CGs are nearly done. Suffice to say, the gap between Episode 3 and 4 isn't going to be nearly as severe as the gap between 2 and 3. I hesitate to give an estimation of...

Hey everyone, Syon here! I wanted to do a special NPG update today. One that's not quite relevant yet, but will be upon Episode 5's release. If you're the kind of person who likes going into their fiction completely blind, this may not be the post for you. NATIONAL PARK GIRLS SPOILERS AHEAD.
Now, let's get down to the nitty gritty.
Every few months, we vomit a new National Park Girl into existence and stick her up on here and Twitter for you (and us tbh) to gaze a...
