Happy Monday everyone! Hope you're all doing well. :) I want to thank everyone who took the direction poll I posted last week - it was very helpful! As you can probably see, the poll was pretty clear about doing a minor rework of Soulspire, so that's what I will do. I'm working on the main story for

Hi all! Thank you to everyone who provided feedback in the previous Soulspire survey. I've come away with some key observations, which I'll briefly share with you below. Unsurprisingly, people generally like the art and characters and dislike the gameplay. Also unsurprisingly, you all strongly prefe

Hi all! I've created a short Google Form to get your feedback on Soulspire, so I know what to continue doing and what I should improve. Regardless of whether or not you've played, I'd really appreciate you filling out the survey. No email addresses or other personal details are collected, just your

Hey all! Here's this month's set of special renders - date night with Stella!

Update will be out on the 29th for high-tier patrons and the 30th for all patrons. Specials will also come out on the 30th. :) Also, don't worry, the MC is fine. That fiery red glow and strange body position is just him dancing. Or something.

Hi all! I'm back from my trip and back to work. :) I'm still working through all the renders and animations, but I don't have too many left fortunately. I'm aiming for September 29/30 for the release. Expect lots of plot development, gigantic character development, a big chunk of lore, and lots of c

Hi all! I have not forgotten this week's dev update! I'm also happy to report that all the animations are either done or soon to be done. :) What animations will there be? Excellent question! At the moment, I have one very long fluid simulation (remember that potion from earlier?) that I'm going to

Hi all! Sorry for getting the last dev update and doing this one late... I'm still here working on the update, so don't worry about that! I've completed most of the stills and am working on the animations as well. I've included a little teaser here for what happens at the beginning of the update. I

Hello! Fresh off the presses and fresh out of the gym, we have Dawn working out! Hair and jiggle physics are all working as they should be. It took a while to get the physics working as I wanted, but now that I can do this, I should be able to do other things. :) Full res MP4 here PS - I know the ha

Happy Monday everyone! I'm almost done with all the writing - at this rate, it should be done by the end of the week. Then I'll be spending all of September in Blender, doing stills and animations. Like I mentioned last update, I anticipate the physics simulations will take a while, but I've already

Happy Monday everyone! I'm almost done with the main plot writing. I had originally planned on being done with that writing by now, but I added even more main plot content, so... Whoops? This update has a lot of important plot progression for both Dawn and Stella, though I think Dawn is noticeably m

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you're all doing well. :) I'm hard at work writing all the content for this double update. Last week and this week are all dedicated to writing main plot content. I obviously can't say much, but lots of stuff is happening in this release! Just to give some context for t

Hello everyone! Happy Monday, I hope you all enjoyed version 6. :) This will be a longer dev update, but I'll include a tldr at the end. Overall Soulspire Update I'm sure some of you are wondering what the bigger picture plan is for Soulspire, especially how many more releases are in the works. I've

Hey all! Due to incompetence, I completely forgot to post the special render poll, and it's a bit late to do that now since it's the end of the month... I quickly whipped these up, hopefully you enjoy them! :)

Happy Monday all! I'm happy to report that version 6 will be out on time! The music arrived ahead of schedule and the final renders are running now (assuming I didn't screw anything up), so I'll be able to get everything tested before the release dates: July 30 for high-tier subscribers and July 31

Happy Monday all! Hope you all have had a good week. :) Progress this last week has been good; all training content is complete except for a few renders. I'm working on the main plot writing and rendering this week. This update is going to be pretty well balanced between Dawn and Stella, very intent

Happy Monday everyone! Work on the update has been going well, and I'm on track for releasing version 6 on July 30th for high-tier patrons and July 31st for all Patrons. :) This update has a lot of (reverse) training content in it, and I've finished a bit more than half of the writing for it at this

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all enjoyed version 5. :) I'm working on version 6 now, which is going to feature lots of training content. I'm also working on (finally) adding in music this update. I already have a dozen songs picked out for the game and I'll likely add a few more by the time ver

By popular request, here is a series with Stella on the bed! Enjoy! :)

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you're all doing well. :) Version 5 will be out on Saturday the 27th for high-tier patrons and 28th for all patrons. I decided that having the extra day would be good so I have enough time to finish all the renders and do all the testing I want to do. :) There's going to

Happy Monday everyone! I reorganized my work a bit and got a fair bit of the main plot writing done already, so I'll be finishing up the training content today before jumping back into main plot stuff later. I have the entire plot mapped out (naturally), and I think version 5 is what you'd call an i

Hi all! Sorry for missing my usual Monday update - that was just me being a meathead and forgetting! But I remembered in time to post it today, so here it is! This week, I'm working on new training content - planning, writing, rendering, and coding. I'd originally planned on finishing the writing fo

Dawn wants YOU to enjoy these special renders! Happy May everyone! Here are the special renders for the month. My favorite is the silhouette, but I hope you enjoy all of them! :)

Happy Monday! The writing is done, art is running and should be done by Wednesday, and my initial playtesting is already under way. Version 4 will be out on the 29th for early release, 30th for all subscribers. The majority of this update will be all the new events I've written, but there's still pl

Happy Monday all! I'm away until Wednesday evening, but I've pre-written this dev update because I somehow had the foresight to do so. :P Development has gone according to schedule so far, and I'm pretty excited about where the plot is going in this release. Just two key updates here: Version 4 will

Happy Monday! Hope you're all doing well. :) I've completed all the new event writing and I've completed basically all the new event renders. These new events are going to populate the game, so that you have lots more random events occurring when you select certain things in game (ie. working out).

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you're doing well. :) I'm working on version 4 right now, which will be slightly different from previous updates. This update's primary goal is going to be adding in lots of little events throughout the game. As I've said before, one of my biggest goals with Soulspire i

Just an hour left until version 3 is out, and the special renders are related to the release! Wonder how? Play and find out. :D

Hi all! This'll be short and sweet - barring any horrific accidents, Soulspire v3 will be out at 7PM PST on April 29 (tomorrow) for high tier Patrons and April 30 for all Patrons. :) This is very comfortably the longest update I've ever made, so I'm still playtesting to make sure I haven't missed an

Happy Monday everyone! Progress has been excellent over the last week, so I should be able to finish all planned content within a week. Then I'll be able to have a few days for testing (there'll be a lot to test) before releasing on the 29th/30th. :) What will there be to test? Great question! Here'

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you're all doing well. We're just about halfway through the month, and I'm a bit past 50% done with this month's content, so we're in a good place with development. Version 3 will be out on April 29 for high-tier Patrons and April 30 for all Patrons. Based on word coun

Happy Monday everyone! I'm back from vacation and back to work on Soulspire. I've already completed the writing for a good chunk of content, but there's lots more planned for version 3. As I've said before, v3 is going to have a ton of content as we move into the meat of the game post-2.5. If you've
