Stay tuned for more information soon (we hope) regarding the Galaxy Princess Zorana project!

In years past we've had Grabiner in a Christmas sweater and Minnie reading off the Naughty or Nice list; this year it's Suki's turn to celebrate Christmas in her own unique way....

Wishing a pleasant holiday season and upcoming happy new year to all of you. Times continue to be rough, but there are always bright spots to be found.

As usual all of our catalog is on discount for the Steam winter sale - see anything you like?

A small update, but hopefully a fun one: We've made some modifications to the online yearbook to improve the ability to easily share your characters on social media.

First off, we've added new link options for tumblr and mastodon, so that if you have accounts on those sites you can more easily auto-generate a link by clicking on the appropriate icon.

Second, we've tinkered with the page code to get it to create a more logical "preview" option on sites with link-previewing. The easy post options should now be able to correctly load character names and thumbnails for display. An example:



Both Magical Diary games are on discount this week, so this is a great time to share your characters with your friends and encourage them to join the madness!

Update notes:

Fixed a crash if you tried to cast spells while inside a square where Darkness had been cast.

Some changes to the way text is handled inside the dungeon. The textbox wraps differently if you're in widescreen mode, where it's no longer covered by the minimap. If text overflows the dungeon box, it now pushes itself up instead of down (to avoid text going off the screen and becoming unreadable.)

The end of 2021 is approaching! I hope you've all had at least a few good things happen to you this year, despite the struggles we've all faced. To celebrate the season, some bonus artwork featuring Corrinna from Magical Diary and the little vampire Buttercup from Cute Bite, decorating a tree together:

If you'd like to see more of Corrinna, she has a side route available in Magical Diary: Wolf Hall - and remember, there's a bonus discount option for buying the other Magical Diary game if you already own one!

As for Buttercup, you can find her along with all the rest of our catalog on sale until January 5, 2022

Happy Holidays!

Update notes:

Fixed a bug in the Valentines Planning diary entry (the entry was incorrectly formatted, and so would crash if you tried to read it.). The fix also works with old saves. I haven't seen any other reports of unreadable diary entries, but if there are any the fix may fix them as well.

Improved behaviour when switching between compact and widescreen modes - previously some of the UI would be messed up until you quit and restarted the game, now the buttons go to the right place immediately.

Happy New Year! Here's to 2021 being better for everyone than 2020 was for most of us.

Today is the last day of the Steam Sale - have you picked up everything you wanted?

Damien wishes you a happy and safe holiday... after all, he needs to keep you around for later...

Since Horse Hall came out many years ago, we're not really eligible for the Steam Awards. Wolf Hall, on the other hand, would definitely appreciate your support!

We've set up a bundle containing the two Magical Diary games, to make it easier to get both games if you already own one. (If there are future Magical Diary titles, they will be added to the same bundle.)
