I find this staging bug hilarious

Our test copy of the lore book just arrived and it looks gorgeous! 🌟 Interested? You have until sunday (22th) to place your order in our Kofi before we make the final order! 🥰 ko-fi.com/synstoria/shop

Hello, a little update about the merch situation! I should receive the test copy of the lore book 21th May along with Asha, Alex and Theo bookmarks, if everything is correct I will order the rest right after and then start shipping everything <3

Honestly if they don't back down it will be so crushing for us and so many dev, we worked so hard the past years to gather our wishlist, with the serenity that some day we would be there and it would make a little difference and now they just want to take it away...

Hello, I forgot to announce it here, but I have decided to extend the shop opening until the 4th of May, we need to finish one piece of art, plus I realize now that opening a shop only at the end of the month was maybe not the most clever idea x) Thank you for your support <3

Our expressions are more on the realistic side, which means it’s quite subtle especially on small pictures. I initially wanted to put them all, but for MC who has like 50+ combination it was unrealistic so I ended up cherry picking my favorite and the most “visual” of them for each of chara! 😊

Fun fact, I collection stickers IRL, the first thing I did when I received the sheet was to stick some in my little book 🥰 Honestly it’s really a unique feeling to see the world I created, the characters I imagined like that. ☺️

Here is the design of Theodore’s bookmark, he has a more romantic expression on one of the side like the others, but I had to include his signature disdain 😂 This design is part of the bookmark set currently available in our Ko-fi shop <3

Given the whole royalty setting it was important for me to show family tree, that’s why I decided to do it for each major characters as part of their introduction! Some are more… complex than others. 😅 Our lore book is currently available on our Ko-fi shop!

I think my favorite part of the lore book are the double page for country. I commissionned those "postcard" specifically for it! I think matchai kat the artist really did an incredible work representing the vibe and biome of each countries! The lore book is currently available in our Ko-fi shop <3

Here is the design of Alexander’s bookmark, I wanted a cute blushy expression and a more happy/dreamy one, I think it fits his vibe well! 🥰 This design is part of the bookmark set currently available in our Ko-fi shop ko-fi.com/synstoria/shop <3

I'm happy to announce that our temporary merch shop is opened! It’s your last chance to grab a physical copy of our carefully crafted lorebook, our gorgeous bookmark set or our cute sticker sheet <3 ✨ ko-fi.com/synstoria/sh...

The setting and the art, there is something absolutely unique about this game that really got me hooked up at first glance

Our cut-in artist, Waffrus made a funny skit "Modern AU where the LI are actors and talk about their costumes", enjoy! 💕

Given the terrible state of the world right now, I decided to speedrun the lore book and to ship everything asap. Before I print would anyone be interested in a temporary shop to buy the physical merch? Let me know in this quick survey!❤️ ▶️ forms.gle/RZibtavB6Yok...

Imperial Grace by @synstoria.bsky.social - 7/10 - a slow-burning, politics meets monarchy, VN that builds good story foundation and is interestingly blended with resource management. Though a longer process to get into the heart of it, it is stunning in it's customisation, art, and world-building.

Lola (one of our backer) nightgown final design because you can go to bed looking cute as hell! ✨ Honestly it's such a pleasure to see all their design coming to life. 💖 A always our artist is doing such a fantastic job and backer have original ideas I would never got!

As you may have heard, thousands of NSFW games have been removed without warning from multiple platforms over the past few days. This sets a troubling precedent for the future of games. If you want more information on why this is happening and how to help, read more here: stop-paypros.neocities.org

My sympathies to Santa Ragione. FYI, this is why Made Marion won't be released on mobile. We don't have the resources to keep up with the demands of mobile marketplaces, which do not support pay-once, complete game experiences.

The artistic direction of Drăculești just haunt me in so many level. So unique so strong, so gorgeous, in the art and the writing alike. Go look at their demo and their KS campaign!

The demo is here!!!!🎉 Version 3.0 includes an improved UI, refined text, more customization options for the MC, and our beautiful full-body sprites. We've also done thorough work on staging to make the game feel more dynamic, hope you enjoy it! ✨

Your Grace, the people of Calidya, await your return tomorrow, for the release of the new demo 👑

I really loved working with Waffrus for the spicy cut-in so we worked with her again to add a couple of unique illustrations to sparkle on the game, you will find two on the demo, and I hope to commission more for the full game depending on the budget we have left!

In term of content the new demo is quite similar to the old one, there is just a new choice, a new petitions (from a backer, but her idea was fitting early game) and a couple of rewording to be more digest, I know most people won't even notice the changes, but I will know ☺️

The demo will feature 7 of the 20 outfits planned for the full game, (including one from a cherish backer!) which one is your favorite so far?💕

A bit more teasing about the staging work in the new demo! Sometime it doesn't have to be complexe cut-in every time, the right zoom, the right character movement can tell a lot about a scene tension! 👀

My favorite part of the new revamped UI is the save/load screen. I wanted to show off our gorgeous sprite, so even if the code was quite heavy (it picks MC customization + character outfit!) I really love how it turned out <3

With the new demo coming soon, I know the thing most people are excited about is the new hairstyle and extended customization option, and frankly I get it, they are all so unique and lovely, our artist did an amazing job with them! 😍

With the new demo dropping soon, I am so excited to show you all the heavy work that went into staging our beautiful sprite to add life and meaning to the scenes, for example with those kind of cut-in!

Alright, I'm almost done fixing everything our lovely betatester pointed out so....... The new demo will drop the 7th July 👀 💕 Fullbody sprite for our gorgeous characters 👑More customization options for the MC ✨ Revamped UI 📕 Minor choices/text adjustment

Ok, that's a bit out of what I usually post here, but it was fun so... I guess I am miss "I like to be smart and to follow the rule." 😂

Alexander growing a third arm to serve his Empress better 😂

I have several nemesis in UI design, and country flags are definitely one of them. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE DIFFERENT RATIO ?!!! My brain want them to have the same width but it's kinda rude to cut off a flag 😅 Look at that, it looks like the United Kingdom's flag is bullying the French one 😂

Ok, this bug killed me 😂 Plot twist, Alden was superman from the beginning

We found back the old folder of meme during the KS campaign, forgot how much I love them 😂
