New artists had to be trained on our art style, which took additional time. However, in 2017, we were able to get a dedicated group of people who could help us and improve our pace. We consi...

Hey everyone, Thanks so much for waiting for us. The Missing Stars Demo is now public.  We took the time to iron out some bugs and polish things this month, and we're finally happy to release something for you. A very special thanks to our beta testers who were able to give us some incredible feedback! You can download the demo on our website, which is now open to the public! Once you begin the installer, you may have to approve it through your computer's security settings. Don't worry - there's just some cute girls in there. No viruses. Thanks again for your patience, and we hope to share more with you soon!

Hello everyone! Just letting you know that there's been a short delay regarding our demo release. We unexpectedly found a game breaking bug in our latest build, so we're going to take the time and fix it up. We're really sorry about this, and we appreciate your patience on this matter.
