I have started a Patreon today for further funding my art and visual novels. I'm offering some behind-the-scenes stuff, hi-res artwork, and bonus files (like processes, line-art, etc) in some of the reward tiers. I also have a sneak peak of my next game after SV, if you'd like to take a look:
For those who have not heard of Patreon or used it before; Patreon is a safe way for you to support indie creators. You can donate small amounts on a monthly basis in exchange for monthly rewards. As the Patreon support grows milestone goals will become unlocked, kinda like they are on Kickstarter. The big plus of Patreon is you're not locked in to anything – you can choose to cancel whenever.
(I'm still thinking on milestone goals to include. Maybe hi-res backgrounds as the bonus files? ...Dakimakura hi-res files? Well, hopefully, those will be decided on by the end of the day. )
SV news:
The build is wrapping up and I'll soon start looking into more in-depth beta testing. I'll have a backer-only update with info on that coming soon!
Backerkit:
If you have not received a backerkit invite email, please try here:
And if you cannot access this by either the KS or paypal email definitely email me. Likewise, if you have run into a problem or something hasn't been fixed my email is:
Please check your email and fill out the quick and easy survey from Backerkit. This will make receiving both the digital and physical rewards a breeze (if you've never set up one before it's a very fast process). This will also make it easier on me to organize everything for send-off!
In the add-on section of Backerit, I am now offering a physical boxed edition of Starlight Vega! This was *highly* requested during the Kickstarter and I'm very happy to finally have it available for collectors out there!
In addition to that, I also have keychains of Lyria and Melody and a very nice limited edition print up for grabs. You can access these new goods by filling out the surveys and selecting from Backerkit's add-ons section.
Note: Digital game rewards will be immediately released, while physical goods, such as artbooks, will be delayed due to processing time. I'm really sorry for this delay (as I'm a one person operation), but I want to minimize errors that can come from shipping goods. So thank you for your understanding! I'll let you know immediately when goods will be shipped out, so you can make sure your shipping address is most current.
Note for Paypal backers: If you have trouble accessing Backerit or if you were put into the wrong pledge tier by mistake please email me at [email protected] and I will get it sorted out asap.
The new demo for Starlight Vega is now available for download! It features the fully updated game interface, a custom soundtrack, and other additional improvements to the in-game scenes. This new version also includes Scherza's first appearance in the game as a love interest since the Kickstarter stretch goal was reached!
You can find the download links and more info here:
For the release date, I am aiming for late February/Early March. The current build is in the alpha stages, with just a bit more work before rigorous beta-testing can begin.
I'll be sharing more news via updates in the coming month as we lead up to the eventual release!
Music and small progress update!

Hi everyone! Just a short update for this month, featuring two of the game's tracks by Starlight Vega's composer, Geoff Moore!
Geoff has put so much care into creating the soundtrack for the game and I couldn't be happier having him on the team. It's amazing to see all the pieces come together and how well the tracks fit into the game's scenes.
General progress on my end is I’m currently finishing up the game build. After that, it's time for additional polish and testing to make sure all the variables, endings, and interwoven scenes are where they need to be. If all goes well, the release for Starlight Vega is just around the corner.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season this year. The next update will be a short ways into 2016 with good news for SV!
Update and Delay News

Hey everyone! Happy October!
First off, I wanted to deeply apologize for the update delay.
So... the important bit of news. I know the original KS campaign stated the game would be out in November, but due to the additional stretch goals, I believe the game will be delayed (luckily only for a short few months) to accommodate this.
While I'm hesitant to give a direct date, I can safely say the majority of the assets and writing is now done, and the game is close to complete. Q1 2016 is the new expected delivery date.
I'd like to apologize for the lack of visual updates without spoiling the game CGs, but the game has been progressing consistently over the past months. The quality and polish has grown since adding skilled work from talented individuals.
Here are some of the newest backgrounds for the game!
I hope to meet your expectations (and then some) as game release becomes closer. I would like to thank everyone for their continual support and understanding.
Progress ahoy!

Heya everyone! Progress has been made at a rapid pace! The programming build is now well on its way to being complete by Kyle so please give him a big thank you. The game is going to look sleek and amazing~
The script is now undergoing editing and programming/timing completed parts into the game. Phew. A lot of story changes were made to account for Scherza's route and the harem route in later parts. It took a lot longer than I expected time-wise, but I think all and all the game has become even better because of it.
Also time to introduce our newest character, Rhiannon Skye! Rhiannon was created by our character creation backer, Bri. She is a witch with vast knowledge of magical grimoires and artifacts, not to mention Scherza's royal adviser. An intelligent character indeed... her design in the rough sketch below:

Currently I am sorting some things out for the surveys. If all goes well I will have some very requested goodies when the time comes. :)
