Welcome to the second season of Diamond Idol, a reality TV show where you can become the most talked about idol in the country. Your brother won the first season, and you are ready to follow in his footsteps. Winning this contest might be the only avenue to dancing with him on stage again. Make friends, train hard, and do whatever it takes to become this season's Diamond Idol! ** Hello all, it’s been a while. To be fully honest, I’ve been struggling a lot with my writing this year. When IGMC2018 dropped, I saw it as a chance to light a fire under my butt and force myself to make -something- At the start of development, I was fighting with my same rut, but eventually I managed to break free and really enjoy working on this project with Racheal.

Dia:dol is a game made in a month for IGMC 2018. The theme of IGMC this year was to build a prototype, rather than a finished game. As such, Dia:dol is currently in an unfinished state. This prototype focuses on the first few weeks of one possible route to the game. The game is a visual novel/simulation where you raise your character through training and your friendships through socializing. As of right now, only the bare bones exist, but we hope that by playing it you can see the sort of experience we hope to build with it.

If you like what you see, please consider voting for us in IGMC, Here. Thank you! <3

Hello~!!!

I’m going to be at Taste of Animethon at the end of this month in Edmonton. I’m just putting the test out to see if anyone who likes Artoris or April was a Fool (or any of our games!) will be there and if I should bring any merch from either one.

If you are going in general, please stop by and see me at Artist Alley!! <3

It’s time to announce the winners of the April was a Fool Design Contest!

In first place, is Winter’s design with a landslide of 57% of the votes. A huge, HUGE congrats to our winner! Your design will be featured in the game! I’m very excited~! It’s a great design.

In second place is @fictional01‘s design! It was a tight race between this and another design; watching them battle was pretty epic!

And Maki’s Pick goes to @gourd-clae I found the design to be really charming to work with!

So a huge applause for our winners! And another huge applause to everyone who entered. We got some wonderful designs all around and I was very excited to see them all. (I may just draw them all in the future just because) And yet another applause for everyone who voted. There’d be no winners without you.

To our winners, I’ll be contacting you personally soon to sort out your rewards and such. Don’t forget everyone who entered wins a free sketch of the AwaF character of their choice! So hit me up by email with which character you would like. :)

This contest was a lot of fun and I hope we can have more like it in the future. Thank you so much for all your support <3 <3 That we could have a contest like this with the turnout that we did means so much to me.

So one last round of applause. For everyone who played April was a Fool!

Hello everyone! Can you imagine, it’s been a year since we released April was a Fool? I can’t... We’re still chugging away at the expanded version, but it’s time I let you fans take the reigns for a bit.

Though the duration of the original game, May never wore an outfit that belonged to herself. The reasoning for that was that May was not ‘me’ she is all of you! The expanded version of the game will include bits of story after the main plot, some of which are going to require May to wear something that is her own. It just doesn’t feel right that I design that outfit.

So, from today until May 1st at midnight (UTC-07:00), we’ll be holding a contest for fans to design the outfit May will wear after graduating from Hero’s Academy! And to make sure this is by you all, the final decision will be decided by a vote.

Here’s some tips:

Prizes, and further details under the cut!

The Great Dark Lord, ruler of the Demon Realm, recently suffered his greatest loss when his son, the Dark Lord Prince, ran away from home to elope with his secret lover. Confused, enraged, and filled with fatherly pride and a dictator’s need to control, the Great Dark Lord wanted his son back. And so he sent three of his strongest generals to retrieve his son, telling them to use force if necessary…

In order to blow off some stress from work this busy time of year, I set out to make a goofy game in two days with @indrahladypotato and @jen-the-roommate-friend-with-no Of course, the game ended up taking 12 days in the end, but that’s okay!

This is a silly little RPG with amusing characters, fights that aren’t TOO hard, and a LOT of text you can optionally read by examining the surroundings. It takes about an hour to an hour and a half to play.

I’m happy to say that since we used RPGMakerMV, this game is also avaliable for Mac! Unhappy to say, the Mac version isn’t tested at all. (sorry if it crashes, please let me know!)

There’s a read me file in the ‘www’ folder that can explain things like controls if you are unfamiliar with RPGmaker’s interface. Also, feel free to send me any questions. Most importantly

Have fun! <3

Hello everyone! I have an exciting announcement to make today! I’ve received our first song for April was a Fool’s new soundtrack!

Everyone give a warm welcome to Scythuz as he joins us in bringing the extended version of AwaF a new sound! Scythuz is no stranger to game music; currently he is a part of 55 Revolver and in the past has worked as a freelance music composer and sound designer. I was pleased when he agreed to work with us! (Check out the rest of the stuff on his Soundcloud! There’s some great songs there that show off his overall sound. Looking forward to when we get to the Dragon battle song for sure!)

This will replace the old “On the Road” song. (the song that plays during the scenes after you first leave the castle and get some alone time.)

New music is the first big step towards making April was a Fool possible for commercial release and now we’re moving forward on this!

Future songs will be previewed only on our Patreon, but I wanted to share the first one with everyone~! Thank you again for all the support you’ve given us! It’s a joy to think we’re able to take AwaF in this direction.

Hello everyone! I’ve set up a patreon to help with funding some of the things involved with April was a Fool’s expansion and future game projects for Dragonfly Studios.

There’s a handful of rewards to be had for each tier including sneak peeks of AwaF’s continued development and other projects that crop up.

This is my first time using Patreon, but hopefully it will go smoothly both for myself and anyone who chooses to support! More milestones and rewards will be added in the future as I can. (like expanding the s6 store to include other games for one thing or translations into other languages, because that is NOT cheap.)

Thank you in advance for anyone who chooses to support us! <3

For anyone wondering why I've been so quiet around here the last month, this is why. Working on a 4-10hour game for a contest is a lot of work, but without further delay, I am ready to introduce you all to the fruits of our team's effort.

Sunken Spire is an RPG made for the 2014 Indie Game Maker Contest

Dragonfly Studios (Castle Chase, Halloween Flop, Punch Bears) and Blue Coral Games (Dead Moon Night, The Grumpy Knight, Search for Immortality) come together for the first time ever to create the newest entry in the Arum Universe.

Join Elsa the Death Knight and Alma the Magical Engineer as they complete their mission to investigate an uncovered hidden laboratory in the neighbouring country of Rumen. Sunken Spire is an RPG based around customization with each character having their own unique systems and growths to experiment with.
