Celeste Academy - Fourth Date
Please consider listening to After A Date, the first in the Celeste Academy OST, while reading the following text.
Carida sits on a quiet bench in the shadow of a lecture hall, just outside Professor Brown's window.
Flocks of students pass by in either direction, many heading to the dining hall for dinner while other, more adventurous di...

Heya,
Welcome to September's monthly update, AKA the one where we finally have a clear direction again! It's been a bumpy few months since Heart of the Woods came out, and we've been bouncing between a couple projects trying to find one that works. We're happy to say that we have, and are getting back into the swing of things.
Our main project right now is one that we're referring to as Samayuuni. That's the shortened version of the title, which we can't reveal yet. Not u...

Howdy y'all,
August is over, and in just a few weeks summer will be too… Personally, I can't wait. It's been far too hot for too long here x.x Despite that, we had 8 posts on Patreon again last month. Here's a recap:
Technical Post - Directing Multiple POVs in Heart of the Woods!
Meowdy friends!
minute here to bring you this month's technical post, colloquially titled "In Another's Shoes", that's not as eye-catching. This will be about my design decisions as visual director of HOTW, and a bit into how they play into the characters as well. Hope you enjoy!

That's right y'all, we've got another game to only cryptically refer to by a shorthand title right now. You might remember that right after we cancelled Starkeeper, we had another really cool opportunity come up. Samayuuni is the result of that, and will be our main focus, although we're still working on "We Dream of Lighthouses" as well. Any guesses what Samayuuni is a shortening of?
We'll have details on that game in a few months, once we've got more to show, but for the time being it...

Carida really thought she’d be used to this by now, but waiting for a date is always nerve-wracking.
It really, really doesn’t help that the photo of the address that Natalesca sent her with perfect cursive led to a parking lot.
Maybe it wasn’t Arpeggio Road. Maybe it was Arpeggia Road. Why did she have to send a photo?
The parking lot is, to be fair, a really nic...

Wow. She's. Handsome. How did she get those sparkles on photo? Is that an attunement?
Celeste Academy - Third Date
“Carida, please, not every chapter can end with a dinner party.”
It’s hard to stop a laugh bubbling out. She could just imagine Lexa giving extra emphasis on the ‘please’. Sohee, the nosy roommate, raises an eyebrow.
“Who are ya texting?” her roommate asks with a cheeky little grin.
Carida smiles back. “The beast of the library. She’s very cute.”

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 ...

Hello friends,
It's been another kinda slow month for us, as we're still in the process of righting our course after cancelling Starkeeper. We know what our next project will be, and we're excited for it, but first we've gotta outline the damn thing. We're expecting that to take all of August and part of September. We'll probably be officially announcing it next year, with a title, key visual, logo, and more. After the delays and scheduling issues that we ran...

Heart of the Woods Voice Acting + Physical Copies Kickstarter
Hey everyone,
Earlier today, we announced something really cool: we're going to be bringing English voice acting to Heart of the Woods, which will be a free update for PC and available on Switch at launch. We're currently still in the casting process, listening to auditions for the characters as they come in. Auditions are open until August 12th, so we'll have plenty of time to listen and reflect. We've already gotten some amazing auditions within the first week, so we're super duper ex...

Heyo,
This is kind of an accompaniment to the "Evolution of the HotW Premise" post that I did a while back. I was recently thinking about the demo of the game that we released last year, and how the final version of the game differed from what we'd been going for originally. So, I thought might be fun to write about how exactly we developed the demo, and where we thought the story was going to go. There's not as much "lore" to this one, although it's a fun trip down memory lane fo...

Celeste Academy - Reading with Lexa
In the Hartnell Memorial Building Library lie many urban legends gossiped about and embellished by the many freshmen and sophomores of Celeste Academy.
Students love to hear about the tales where stepping on the thirteenth missing step in the stairs to the third floor may be an entrance to the supernatural or reading a secret book stashed in the archives could transport you to another w...

Monthly Update - July 2019
Hey all,
Josh here with our general update for the month.
The most important stuff from June was news. First up, we had to make the unfortunate decision to cancel Starkeeper: The Waters Above. Even though it was only a couple weeks after we'd announced new details on the game, things just weren't meant to be. We've rebounded nicely since then and are working on a new project, details to be announced later.
Our other big announcement (this time good news...

Celeste Academy - Second Date
She does not want to lose Aurora’s warmth again. Carida is opening and closing her hand to feel Aurora’s tenderness return once more. She starts rolling around her bed while daydreaming about that little date she had with Aurora.
“Your ring. It needs to have an emerald on it.”
Those words — they are still ringing in her ears.
She squeezes the pillow up her face. That was the kind of date she had fantasized about during high schoo...

Heart of the Woods Coming to the Nintendo Switch
Hey everyone,
Just announced as part of E3: Heart of the Woods is coming to the Nintendo Switch. It'll be published by Sekai Games. We don't have an official release date yet, so stay tuned for that.
This will be our first release on console, ever, and we really, without exaggeration, couldn't be more excited. Seeing that iconic Switch introduction followed by our logo feels surreal. Thanks to all of our Patrons and everyone else who helped make this game a reality. We're still hu...

Just to let you know that this post will contain lots of spoilers for Heart of the Woods. If you haven't played that yet and don't want to have a lot of the plot spoiled for you, then don't read any further than this.

The story might be over, but theirs has only just begun. Short drabble by Josh, image sketched by minute and rendered by Adi.
Madison smiles more, lately. Easier and more freely than she ever did in the forest. She smiled when we woke up this morning, our foreheads nearly touching. She smiled when we decided to go out tonight, and chose one of her favorite restaurants. She smiled when she tried on her dress. When she first stepped out of our room, she was blushing nearly ...
