I've been looking forward to this a ton!

We're so very close to the 50-review threshold where Positive can turn into Very Positive. If anyone has played Heartspell and has a minute to post a review today, that would help us so much.

Our little gremlin, I love them.

Amazing, thank you.

YES! Thank you so much.

Let me know when you do! I <3 her very much.

And yeah, I don't know how to judge these things, but 30% of players who start the game have played for more than 10 hours and that feels really great to me.

There are a lot of hopeful numbers from our launch weekend, but I think my favorite is that our median playtime is over 5 hours. It means a lot to us that folks who check out Heartspell want to stay in that world for so long.

100% this soon after launch is so unexpected! Thanks you for spending so much time in our magical little world.

DRESS UP MY GIRL DRESS UP MY GIRL EEEEEE oh and Constantine too I guess

We have had a GREAT launch weekend! We hit that big 10-review threshold so fast! @britt1st.bsky.social says she'll make alternate Squibbles-stars outfits for Constantine and Lila if we get to 50 by the end of next weekend.

Thank you to everyone who's been playing and leaving reviews! It's been an amazing opening weekend. I'm thrilled that we got to ten reviews so quickly! Until you get 10 reviews you won't get shown in various lists and discovery queues and all that. Crossing that threshold quickly is a big relief.

Ha, I know. I think most people who played the demo months ago wouldn't notice until they got to the end and realized there was still one spell locked. But then it would truly suck for anyone trying to rank up in the practice arena. Force Wave is pretty useful.

Just pushed a small-but-important patch that does a couple things, but mostly re-adds Force Wave to the spell list of players who are using an older demo save. Hitting the Publish button on a live game is so scary.

Thanks to @harlecryptid.bsky.social who showed me that this bug existed.

You were such a wonderful support throughout this journey and we appreciate you SO much.

That was more or less the elevator pitch at the very start. "What if HuniePop except actually Dragon Age?"

I'm so overwhelmed by our reception so far! It makes me so happy to look at reviews coming in and to see they're from people who've played for 5 or even 10 hours and the game has only been out for 19. Means the world to me.

Thank you so much!

You do such an amazing job, it's wonderful! Last night I stayed up watching a stream and there was a very fun discussion of the unique cadence of Singlish.

Oooo, let us know when!

We've had an absolutely wonderful launch day! Thank you to everyone who's played the game, spread the word, or left a review. Watching people react to what we've been working on for so long is a delight.

I got so hooked on Heartspell! The narrative pacing is perfect and there's so much thoughtful world building. Meaningful choices, and platonic friendships that are just as compelling as the romance. The minigame that gets (optionally) quite hard! I recommend it, especially for Exocolonist fans.

Exocolonist is one of my favorite games of all time and it means so much that you're enjoying Heartspell <3

WOoooooooooooooooooooooooo! Unlimited Morgan for everyone.

You were perfect. I can't wait for people to get to your part and want to punch you in the face 😂

Thank you SO much!

Thanks so much!
