Nightshade Winter 2025 Updates
The Winter Sale is currently on, with big discounts on the Eldritch Nightmare Duology and a sale for Life as Designed as well. Be sure to let your friends know that now is a good time to experience the Nightshade universe! There's a bit of news about the games as well, so let's go over some of that here: Blooming Nightshade and Flowering Nightshade These two games will eventually get a minor UI update based on a related project, though I'm postponing the update for the moment in the hopes of finishing the final planned story for Flowering Nightshade first. Once that story is ready, I'll try to get the updates for both games finished around the same time. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/36329174/f51f3aa012e8eabc0dd53b495e2f099786614b07.png Streaming Guidelines Hopefully better late than never, I've put together an actual page detailing some guidelines to streaming or recording these games. I'd highly recommend taking a quick look before playing these games on stream, since some of them may not be stream-safe without certain considerations. In addition, I'm looking into making a more official presskit with the game logos and promo images. The current page for streaming guidelines can be found here. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/36329174/da2eea6faa7027cb3dac3eae7b5a8902fda79ed0.png Game Six Since wrapping up Life as Designed, I've been working (on and off) to draft some other stories set in the Nightshade universe, some of which may end up being games if I can find the budget for art and music. One project that has been slowly coming together is a game that already has most of its art finished, which continues the stories of the characters from Blooming Nightshade. Unlike Flowering Nightshade, this game doesn't have any direct continuations of previous stories, instead exploring other possibilities for each character. While I'm trying to make each story standalone, some character details from BN/FN stories will be assumed knowledge. https://clan...Read full article on Community Announcements (Nightshade)AnnouncementsOfficial
