We've already hit March! February really goes by so quickly. February was another busy month (are they ever not?) as we prepare for Dreambound to be released at the end of April.
We'll talk about game progress in a couple of days in our paid monthly devlog, but for now lets look at a wrap up of our posts here on Patreon in February!

SOLARIS TIER: Welcome to the Dreambound beta!
This beta includes Ivan's full route, and his four endings!
I wonder what we need extra references of Leos for 🤔 (hint: it rhymes with slushie 🧸).
Whenever I go back to look at TDS stuff I remember how much I love Leos, so I hope even those who haven't yet played the game enjoy this ref sheet <3

Grim's Daki is complete! He'll be available for preorder next month, alongside his brand new keychain set.
We also hope to have these in person at Taspop next month!

A Grim Reaper is never complete without his favorite axolotl… and he's available NOW on Makeship as a plushie!
You can grab the Azrael Plushie for the next 21 days exclusively on Makeship!
Once he's gone, he's gone for good, so grab him while you can!

Hello everyone!
Today we have something exciting - a WIP storyboard of our new opening animation by IMHEL for Beyond the Bet! Visually it will look similar to our last one, with blues, black and reds, but this time we went for the "cute" side of Grim more than his "cool" side.
Like our last OP, we also have a MC standin in some scenes. The theme here is "looking back at all the times/endings we've spent with Grim" and "looking towards what comes next"! We hope you enjoy!

We're still working on the last handful of BGs for Dreambound with our artist Vui! He does a great job at capturing little details. These are both for Ivan's route, and feature in his flashback scenes.
While the common route and Crow's route show the backstory to the game from Noah's point of view, both Ivan's and Kaine's follow themselves. It's a great way of looking at things going on that Noah had no idea about, and we're pretty excited for it!

We're already through 1/12th of the year. That really doesn't sound right... anyway, it's been a busy month as we've gotten back into working full swing on our upcoming games, especially Dreambound.
We'll talk a little more about that in a few days in our monthly devlog, but for now, lets take a look at what we posted in January:

We're very proud of the amount of work that goes into running these fests, and we hope you'll enjoy the 2024 edition when it starts at the end of January. We'll be announcing a few projects publicly during the fest as well.

Hello everyone!
We've got the artwork for the keychain collection finalized now - look how cute they turned out!
We worked once again with the fantastic jyosubii on these, who also created our Dreambound keychains.
We plan to update our webstore with these & the dakimakura at the same time, as well as possibly some mini-prints. We're still exploring the possibility of other merch items (we'll be attendi...

We're back to working on our games after our holiday season break rested and reinvigorated. I always find this time to reflect on my work and take a breather really helps my motivation come January.
We have a lot of plans in the next couple of months, so lets quickly talk about what we've been up to, what we plan to do this month, and other news!
At the moment, our main focus on Dreambound is programming...

All of your support means the world... AND it means we can look towards making more merch in the future ❤️
Not to spoil any future plans ahead of time, but we are producing some more merch items with Makeship because of how much you guys have supported the campaign. There will be more plushies, plus more of other kinds of items ...

Tada! On top of the Dakimakura design, we're also working on a small set of keychains of Grim! The artist for these is the wonderful 700hash, who we worked with for the Dreambound keychains too.
We're gearing up for a small in person convention called TasPop South 2024! We'll be taking both old merch plus our new A Date with Death merch for people to get in person. If all goes well, we'd love to do more events around Australia (and maybe further out?) in the future! What's your favorite...

You pull a photo out of your photo album and look back at your very first holiday season with Casper - a season that, for one reason or another, he happens to be a massive fan of.
Presents under the tree for the two of you (and for Azrael and your pet, of course), a fire burning in the background, and your stockings stuffed over the mantle.
It was the best Christmas ever.
