Somnova Studios: May/June 2026 Update

Hello everyone! Time for another monthly-ish update. Things have, admittedly, been very slow in the  Missing Stars  developer mines, but I can give a few details:  Jeanne's Act 2 scenes are nearly done. Minor spoilers: there are 15 scenes in Act 2, and I've completed 12 of them. These final three scenes are relatively shorter than the others, so they should be done a lot faster than the bigger scenes I've been working on. Isolda's Act 2 scenes are making steady progress, and Downix is telling me that everything's going "according to plan". We have other behind-the-scenes plans for writing in general that, while we can't reveal anything concrete, will come to light once we release Jeanne's Act 2 to the public. We also have new art assets being worked on all the time by the wonderfully talented Likhos, like these:        Lastly, I intend to update the Steam Page for Missing Stars this month since that's been kind of... neglected. Sorry, Steam use...

Somnova Studios: February/March 2026 Update

Hello! I'm combining February and March's update because I was extremely busy last month with IRL stuff and didn't really have time to dedicate to making an update. Thankfully, things are a bit less chaotic this month. As always, we're making steady progress on Act 2. Everyone on the team is hard at work on [REDACTED] and we think it'll make some of you very, very happy.  Meanwhile, we're completing a branch on our repository that covers typos and continuity errors. We plan on creating an update this quarter so that you can all see that pesky alert on our Steam page finally go away. We're sorry! We should update that store page more.  The alert in question, haunting my dreams.   In other news, I am planning on moving our website for both Somnova Studios and Missing Stars to a new hosting platform, as the one I previously had was getting too expensive for my budget. So, for now, you might see that our sites are down at the moment. Don't worry -- we'll...

Somnova Studios: January 2026 Update

 Hello! ...Well, it's been a little over a year since I've made one of these, hasn't it? Time to get down to business.  Missing Stars  is, of course, still ongoing. Writing is very labor intensive, and as I get older it feels like I don't have nearly as much time anymore to grind out adorable slice-of-life dialogue between characters. So, what I've been trying to set up with the team over the past year has been quick weekly meetings to get writers updated and allowing everyone to ask for feedback. So far, that's been successful! Of course, that means little if we don't update you guys about what and how we're doing. I plan to get back to regular monthly updates -- small things showcasing what we've been up to and any future plans (like game updates) that might get you guys excited! I'll end this update with something nice: Jeanne's Act 2 is nearly done (something I thought was close to completion before, but this time it's actually close ...

Introducing the Missing Stars Beta!

Hey, hello everyone! It is time to address the rumors. Yes, the top secret early beta scripts of Missing Stars do, in fact, exist. So, as demanded, we are preparing to release these early scripts as a standalone game, “Missing Stars: Edgelord Beta Edition” . Changes you may find include: Lena’s original route. The humble rise of a journalistic superstar and her bumbling sidekick Erik as they address the true nightmare of high school corruption. Secret rendezvous between faculty and students, food safety violations, before winding up on the run from the mob for having uncovered a truth which will shake St Dymphna’s to its core. Katja’s original route. A mystery wrapped in an enigma with dating confusion on the side. A truly universal tale, as timeless as the solar system itself. Save the school from invaders, bad taste in music, a mysterious banana stand, and an overeager hedgehog in this grand adventure. Twins original route. Before Natalya and Sofiya, we had the Holm twins. What’re...

Somnova Studios: December 2024 Update

Hey folks!  Happy Holidays. I'm here to give you all a general update.  Missing Stars development has been, admittedly, slow this year. This is due to some personal things on my part - I've moved, and I've been spending more time away from the computer. I've let the team work on writing at their own pace, and we've been keeping things deadline-free until I got settled in. Now that things have indeed settled a bit, I plan on spending more time helping everyone out and getting more content for Missing Stars completed.  We have some general progress updates for you:  Jeanne's Act 2 is about 60% done at this point.  Isolda's Act 2 is about 60% done at this point.  Natalya's Act 2 is nearly done, but needs to be looked over before calling it complete.  Katja's and Anna's Act 2 are not at the 50% mark yet, but we'll update you when that happens.  We have an update that implements some typos and continuity errors that'll be coming soon. We ha...
