Hey everyone! The results are in, and we now know where the story is heading after Ionia. After a vote among our Diamond+ supporters, the next major region will be… 🏰 Demacia! We’ll be doing another poll in the future to help determine which main heroines will take the spotlight once we arrive ther

Hey everyone! We did it! Version 0.1.6 is finally live! This update has been another big step for the game, continuing the story after the events of v0.1.5.

Hey everyone! Well… Dove has done it again. 👀 With v0.1.6 around the corner, he decided it was time for another FoxFire issue—and this time, Lux is taking the spotlight!

Hey everyone! Well… it’s been a little while. 👀 We originally wanted FoxFire to be a monthly thing, but then development happened, testing happened, bugs happened, and suddenly six months had passed since our last issue. And while Doctor was busy testing the build and sending Necro a never-ending s

Hey everyone! After the Git issue set us back, we’re finally back on track—and we’ve officially entered the testing phase! ✨ 🛠️ Testing & Polish Doctor is currently making runs through the build and reporting bugs, crashes, and various adjustments to Necro. When we say "adjustments", we're usually

Hey everyone, Unfortunately, we have some bad news to share. During development, Necro made a mistake while working with Git, the version control system we use to keep backups of the project. For those unfamiliar with Git, think of it as a way to create "save points" for the game's development. It l

Hey everyone! Time for another development update! Originally, we were aiming to release v0.1.6 during July. However, with only about a week left in the month, it's looking like we probably won't make it. The main reason has been a few delays on the art side of development. We're doing everything we

Hey everyone! Time for another dev update!

Hey everyone! After some considerations and discussions we decided to postpone 1 day the bronze and public release date. Some setbacks happened and we couldn't make the patched version be ready for today. We are deeply sorry for this and any inconvenience this could make for all of you. For now, exp

We did it! We’re proud to finally release Version 0.1.5! This update took far more effort than we originally expected. As the game continues to grow and improve, every new system, scene, route, and mechanic creates more things that need to be tested, balanced, and validated. That isn’t an excuse—but

Hey everyone! Quick update regarding the release of v0.1.5. We are doing extensive testing and doing everything we can to make sure the build is as stable as possible.

Heyo! As usual, sorry for horrendous grammar you're about to read. We are so close to 0.1.5! We are pushing ahead and doing our best. And let me tell you, it's a big one. Many big changes for QoL. You're in for a ride. First of all, I'm proud of the size of the project. It was almost 1.5GB before an

Hey everyone! So… as you know, I picked up the brush. It started small. I wasn’t planning on diving into character art or outfit drafting, but while we were reviewing some visuals, I felt like a few of the casual outfits could use slight tweaks. Nothing major—just small adjustments to make them feel

Hey everyone! Time for another development update—and this one’s a bit more behind-the-scenes. Before anything else... 📜 v0.1.5 Progress The v0.1.5 script was finished a couple of weeks ago and is already implemented into a working build. Right now: Necro (programmer) is working on several gameplay

We’ve got a little surprise to kick off the year 👀 Dove went rogue (in the best way) and delivered a brand-new FoxFire piece featuring Akali in sexy lingerie! This drop got us talking, and we’re seriously considering turning FoxFire into a monthly art feature if there’s enough interest (and time).

Hey there! Long time no write. I'm not usually one to write a lot and, again, sorry for all the grammatical errors or misspellings. I usually just write how I think. We are still hard at work with the next update and I've been debating a lot into writing another dev journal as I don't find much to t

The votes are in! This time, we made the executive call on who would take the spotlight—and you all decided how she’d steal it. The winning look?

Hey everyone! The holidays are almost here, and that means it’s time for another art drop! 🎁 Now… we noticed something. Akali got Easter. Irelia got Summer. But Karma? Karma has been left waiting.

One of the tasks I tackled this update was the new dance scenes. We got to the conclusion that this was also the best time to update the old dance scenes to better fit my new art style. So, I've have completely redrawn the dancing scene for Irelia and used it as a canvas to work on the dancing outfi

Hey everyone!
