(And if you're seeing this for the 3rd time and thinking, "Why does this look familiar?" sorry!)

I wanted to take an opportunity to share a few fun tidbits about Celestial Hearts followed by some news for my upcoming title Absinthia.

Originally released on February 15, 2021, Celestial Hearts was my 6th official release (technically my 7th overall, but I'm not counting Roguelite). It was my first title to be built in (what was new at the time) the RPG Maker MZ engine, and also my 2nd title to feature a side-view battle system.

To date, Celestial Hearts has sold about 1,200 copies on Steam. With Steam key activations, that number goes up to almost 1,350. Counting sales from other sites like Itch, Aldorlea and Google Play, total copies distributed is likely close to 1,600.

Absinthia

With that out of the way, let's talk about my upcoming title Absinthia! Make sure to stop by the Steam page and add it to your wishlist! (No, seriously, please! Wishlists are super important for the algorithm!)

A demo for Absinthia is available and can be downloaded from the game's store page!

A crowdfunding campaign for Absinthia will launch in mid-late April and run through May. If successful, we're looking at a release date of January 2023.

You can click here to be notified when the campaign goes live!

Similar to my campaigns for Celestial Hearts and Knight Bewitched: Enhanced Edition, we're crowdfunding to cover the cost of assets. The artwork is being done by various talented pixel artists, while Jazz Stewart is making a return from Knight Bewitched: Enhanced Edition for the original soundtrack.

We're looking to raise about $23,000. This is significantly more than our previous campaigns - but with a higher funding goal comes better rewards, such as:

-Digital keys, OST, desktop wallpapers and credits -Digital keys for Knight Bewitched and Celestial Hearts -Early Access -Leaving your own message in an object in-game -Having your own NPC complete with name and dialogue -Designing your own legendary weapon, enemy, boss, or your own quest!

Have a great week and stay safe!
