We're getting set to release our last big pre-launch demo update, which will add three of Morgan's chapters and also unlock the practice arena, so you can cast spells to your heart's content.

We've been trying so hard to get to 7k and one month out from launch, we're there! Thank you so much to everyone!

Getting to some finishing touches, like Miko's phone pic of her human glamour 🧚‍♀️

Being very mature and professional about this

More background+music for #ScreenshotSaturday. This piece is *mostly* Heron's theme, but we use it in other places that feel particularly optimistic, just like our favorite magical himbo chef.

The new hades trailer is so gorgeous, give it up for the entire crew from THE LINE! Full credits taken from the youtube description

Those were THE DAYS!! Just one more reason to miss LJ 🥲

With Lin there it looks like: brooding permitted here. No brooding past this point!

Outside the main storyline, you can always invite someone to practice magic with you in this private corner of the academy grounds.

An example of my super professional art direction:

Launch date!! SOON!! I worked really hard on this and now I gotta finish my task list 😱😱😱

I wanted to share some of the work we've been doing on the "Academy Grounds" environment, which is home to a few scenes and the practice/challenge mode. I had a lot of fun making the petals. Sigh. I wish I could visit.

Commissioned some amazing art of our monster-boy, Lin!

We've been heads down in polish, but soon I'll be putting more effort into marketing. We need about 2k more wishlists in the next 6 weeks for Very Good Things to happen. Any help spreading the word (or leaving reviews) would help an absolute ton. #indiegame
