Hope everyone is having a fantastic day! I was hoping to check-in on what aspect of PF games you like the most. Astral Ascension is pretty far along in development and usually around this time we start having some super early conceptualizations of what the next game could be.
Below is a poll with some of the main game aspects, please feel free to vote on TWO of your favourite things about PF games. This will make sure we are well attuned to what makes PF ...

Hello Patrons,
Hope everyone is having an amazing Wednesday so far!!!!! This is a phat monthly update so let's get started with the biggest piece; we have the read-only version of Episode 4 now available!
If you downloaded it from the previous post, please get the V2 one as it made a bunch of bug fixes (an especially important one that accidently skipped a Luna romance event) as well as some tweaks to earlier episodes.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week so far!!!! Just here to share the finalized version of the Luna kiss which is below.
One major feedback was that not all the girls got a kiss for their romance route in our previous games which felt a bit disappointing. We made sure that each lovely waifu got one for Astra.
What we thought would be fun is to vote on which is your favourite Astra Kissu. <...

Our team is of course hard at work with Astral Ascension and we have more stories to tell, so a secondary project idea that we've been thinking about doing is with mangas! While our core focus is of course on Visual Novels, a secondary manga project might be fun to do and of course it is more content for you guys. :)
