In The Songbird Guild, decisions affect the way you explore dungeons and the battles you have in there. The dungeons and battles in turn can determine your choices!

Characters are put together out of multiple pieces, which can combine together to make far more expressions than we'd ever be able to draw on our own. Here are all the pieces that make up one of Claire's poses, as well as the final product at the end! #indiedev #gamedev

Oh? What's could this be? 👀

The forest outside the barriers of Larimar's cities is simply called "the forest", since it is the only one. Here, corrupted creatures said to no longer have souls reign. Unfortunately, it's still necessary to harvest its resources for these cities to survive. That's where magical girls come in.

The generic background where battles take place. The stars and clouds in the back were additions by the background artist the really brings the whole thing together.

Wishing you all a Happy Holidays, whatever you celebrate, and a Happy New Year in less than a week!

The Bodkin Ruins were once said to be home to a king and queen of the ancient human tribes. In reality, this group of towers was once the corporate office space of Bodkin Technologies, a specialist in electronics, which in today's world have been outmoded.

In contrast its various destinations, the Tourmaline Express is kept very cozy looking. It's a reminder of the safe environment their clientele have returned to after a long day fighting monsters. The seats are purposefully kept low so humans and small animal familiars alike can sit on them.

An important message

Writing professors: Make sure your names are easy to pronounce, no more than a few syllables and pay attention to the consonant/vowel ratio. Meanwhile in Massachusetts:

If you know you know

"Magical tech support, how can I help you? Your heart wand isn't working? Have you tried the power of friendship? Oh, you don't have any friends...dang. Tell ya what, why don't you go out and see if there's a character arc you could initiate this week. Come back and talk to me when you're done, k?"

Being one of the biggest cities in Eidar, Larimar also has one of the biggest train stations. This particular track is where the Tourmaline Express comes in, a rail that takes magical girls to locations outside the barrier where they perform their duties.

Y'all mind if I just casually post the outline to the entire story here real quick? 👀 I hope you're able to read giant black box language... #indiedev

The guild's main headquarters is a three bedroom apartment redone to act as both an office and a home. Shingo's room is off to the right while the stairs lead to two more bedrooms on the second floor. If you look closely at the books, you'll see some shoutouts to people who have helped us.

In contrast to Kaida and Gigi's room, Shingo's room is a bit darker. It's very well organized and utilitarian, housing primarily medical supplies and candy. His room is on the first floor, which gives him better accessibility after a leg injury took him out of the field.

An expansion to the accessibility settings in The Songbird Guild. You can change they way you interact with a number of things here, including many that overlap with the difficulty settings from an earlier post.

Kaida and Gigi's room is pink and inviting. It faces the sun's direction in the floor plan, which helps make it brighter too. The two of the jury rigged Gigi's basket bed to the wall themselves, something they're both very proud of.

Here's a preview of an expansion we've been working on for choosing your difficulty level. There are various presets, but you can also heavily customize your own and save it as its own preset. The Bodkin art on the right is just a placeholder.

Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!

It's #transgenderawarenessweek. Did you know our very own Kotori Mori is transgender too? Well now you're aware! If you know someone trans, consider donating to organizations like The Trevor Project if you have the funds. It'll help save LGBT lives: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/be-the-one/

This past weekend we played The Songbird Guild as part of TVGS's Extra Life stream, alongside The Festival: Hemmingward and Burrito Bear. A big thanks to everyone who donated to help kids in need! https://www.youtube.com/live/6Y4gQe0i7tM?si=KX8fYJfnVMqHs2Br&t=5975

Hope everyone had a good Halloween! Hard to believe over a week has already gone by, we got snow today!

Still very much a work in progress, but it's fun to have this much together.

It's never too early to start celebrating!

It's LGBT history month here in the United States. Somebody do something history worthy so we can talk about it next year. 👀 #lgbthistorymonth

When you finally find the lid for your tupperware container but it's fallen allll the way back behind the other containers meaning you have to remove everything from the cabinet to get to it...

Summer's almost over, but look on the bright side, at least we won't have to deal with the sun's 100+ degree temper tantrums anymore...right...RIGHT??
