Happy new year everyone, may 2026 bring many good things to you!

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 😂

Fight crime. Be gay. Do things the magical girl way 💖 The Kickstarter for our magical girl yuri visual novel Lock & Key: A Magical Girl Mystery is now live! Get physical copies of the game, artbook, keychains & more~ ✨ Support the campaign: bit.ly/lak-kickstar... 💕 Play the demo: s.team/a/1803850/

Life of a game developer is opening your programming software and thinking "okay today I will code the boobs"

Hello everyone, one of our lovely backer, cannot decide which outfit she favors, so let's help her. 👀 Vote for your favorite on tumblr: www.tumblr.com/synstoria/77...

Hey everyone, as you know I can never shut up about Imperial Grace, recently I talk about it with the lovely hosts of @otome-com.bsky.social you can check the podcast/article on their website: otome.com/2025/03/28/i...

ANECDOTE TIME. I pace up and down a lot to think (and sometime mutter the lines). My grandfather had a round pool so it was the perfect spot to pace: I could just like circle around indefinitely lost in my thoughts. 1/2

I think what I struggle the most with marketing is the constant need to be on the lookout for opportunities. I am always worried to be missing out on a cool fest or tired because I have to fill out a form at a moment that doesn't work for me 😔

Today it's international women's right day. We've come a long way, but there's still progress to be made and it's one of the roots of Imperial Grace. Taking a medievalish universe to talk in an exaggerated way about problems that are still existing today. 1/2

Very happy to be in the #WomensDaySale festival once more <3

EVERY TIME I POST A NPC SPRITE. (It’s our artist life goal to make you smash on every character of the game, and I respect that immensely. 🤭)

Theodore fullbody WIP is obviously very handsome BUT THE DISCRETE SMIRK. 😳👌 The moment you finally pierce the cold armor and have him smiling and teasing you.😈

Have you seen our silly ads in the DLC of A Date with Death😇 from @twoandahalfstudios.com ❤️

His body is ready💪 (actually not because he still misses like one arm variation in his armor version oops)

What is an otome without several belts on an outfit 😁  More seriously, here is a little sneak peak of Alexander armor design, it's freaking GORGEOUS 🥰🥰🥰

Stroll with your love interest in the beautiful gardens of YOUR castle. 💕👑

Alexander needed strong arm to be able to shield you from any threat 🥰 Anyway really love how we can guess how muscular he is even with his "shirt" (it's called a gambison :p) on.😇

Are you ready to rule your kingdom in your magnificent throne room? 👑📜

Hello, wishlist our game, we have a hot spy master whispering things to you.  (Master of Murmurs WIP)  ▶️ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1652580/Imperial_Grace/

LMAO the artist put the happy trail of Theo sprite on a separate layer LIKE IF THERE IS A WORLD WHERE I WOULD NOT INCLUDE IT????  I'm sorry, but it's sexy as hell and I want more hairs on my otome lover thanks 🙏

So I heard it was good practice to delete your old tweet from twitter to avoid feeding their AI. Since some of them are clearly masterpieces (no), I am going to post them here so they are not lost forever :p

Hello everyone, this year we are participating again to #TheStorytellersFestival, along with incredible other games and friends 😘 Check it out : store.steampowered.com/publisher/Tw...
