It's that time again - time for another update! This time we have something a bit more substantial for you guys to take a peek at, and we're very excited to see what you think. Handled by the prolific Kuroe, we're proud to present  Missing Stars: Overture! Missing Stars: Overture is a collection of short stories featuring your favorite Missing Stars heroines. We decided it was high time to give everyone a preview of our writing and, as an added bonus, a preview of a new side character - Fran Dragovic! Dreamworks face on POINT Fran shows up in two of our short stories, and we figured we might as well give you guys a picture of what they look like in uniform. Fran is one of my favorite characters in Missing Stars , and I hope they become one of yours! You can download your own copy of Missing Stars: Overture on our website . We hope you enjoy!

Gentlemen, please take a bow. You stand in the presence of The Most Noble Lady Katja Böhm , Ojousama of St. Dymphna, Best Girl, Model of Perfect Propriety, Peerless Among All Her Peers, Delectable Diva, Singer Superior, Sumptuous Siren, Statuesque Seductress, Impeccable Inamorata, and Honorary Hussar of the Guard (long story, that last one). It's okay, take your time. Breathe in. Tidy your clothes up and clear out your throat. You may feel a bit overwhelmed. Truth be told, though, there's hardly a need. She's actually quite nice in person.  Here, you may see for yourselves:  Making eye contact is permissible - even encouraged! Sorry, sirs – it simply seemed suitable to start so. Let's set status aside for a sec. As you may've already gathered (and I do apologize for wasting your time with the bombastic-yet-in-my-biased-opinion-nigh-wholly-deserved introduction), our art team's amazing AE has finally finished spritework for m...

Yo. My name’s Ultra_HR. I write Annaliese. I’ve got a few things to say, but first, check this out: I’ll just give you a few seconds to let that sink in. Please feel free to take yourself to your nearest hospital if you feel you may be having the symptoms of a myocardial infarction (and note that Somnova Studios cannot be held liable for this). This is Annaliese doing what Annaliese loves best; listening to music. Savour this smile. Protect it. Annaliese hasn’t changed quite so much as the last Missing Starlet we featured, Jeanne. In fact, the design we’ve settled on here is pretty much the OG Annaliese, sidetail and all. Why change perfection? Annaliese originally had full-blown over-ear headphones. This made for a nice design that many of you will be familiar with and for a fair while she wasn’t seen without them. Choosing to replace these with earbuds was a relatively big decision for a girl whose life revolves mostly around music, but in the end, I think it has more po...

Woah, an actual Missing Stars update! Jeanne's been through a lot. From her initial conception five years (really, that long?) ago to today, she's been through art style changes, four different artists, and, most recently, her final sprite direction guided by the lovely Eora, which, in comparison, took a lot less time than all the other stuff. So here she is! This is the finalized design for Jeanne! This sprite's master file is really big. No, that's not because of Jeanne. Team-wise, we've added a few new faces. Duane and Lamalama are our newest musicians, and they've got a heck of a lot of talent. Discord deviant Likhos  has joined as a colorist and is working hard already! Lastly, Fia  has joined as a researcher/psychology consultant to ensure our characters are accurate in terms of their disorders. We're happy to have them all aboard, and we all are making incredible strides to ensuring that the public will see Missing Stars  by the end of t...

Hello everyone, We've been making steady progress with Act One's scripting and editing, with exciting changes and cute characters! With more and more scripts being completed, we've decided to open up positions for new musicians. We're looking for people who can produce music similar to the ones below: https://soundcloud.com/user-864732935 In addition, we are also looking for something called a leitmotif. What's that, you ask? It's a unique musical piece that can be used to represent something relating to a path girl. Essentially we're looking for a riff or tune for each girl that encapsulates the theme of their route and characteristics. For example, Katja's may be elegant piano while Lena's may be fast guitar. If you're a musician but don't have access to recording software, then feel free to submit rough ideas for our team of musicians to use to write a song. You'll be credited! As always, we're also look...
