🌟2025 Art Summary🌟

Reminiscing rambles under the cut:

This year has been a very emotional roller coaster behind the scenes and while it feels like I haven't been doing as much personal art and doodles like I used to, I'm still really proud of myself for how much I was able to do and experiment with!

I wanted to work on animation and story boarding more, but I was instead able to put a couple more notches into my 3D belt with Nomad sculpt and Blender and that really helped me learn a lot about how the forms of my style work from 2D to 3D, it really felt like a drafting game changer later down the road!

This year I did more studies and color experimentation than I normally would, I opened up VGen for the first time AND got verified within 4-5 months of my first commission! I feel my repertoire expanding while my primary skills get honed in and I've joined a few communities with really lovely folks that give invaluable feedback in helping me grow. Child me would gawk at what I can do now and that's honestly the best feeling in the world.

I hope 2026 brings that much more. 💛

Post-Josei Jam Update and Gratitude

Over a full week has passed since the demo for Spoonful of Sugar was released and we are all FLOORED by the reception you've all given us—

WOWIE!!

We are so very happy and extremely grateful for the kind comments, critiques, and love we have received over the past few days for our passion project. For many in the HydraStudio team, this is their first jam and foray into the visual novel medium, so there had been many hiccups along the way pushing ourselves to learn new techniques and skills under the pressure of the Josei Jam's time limit.  While we weren't looking for perfection, we still ended up feeling rather satisfied with what we were able to accomplish and knowing that so many others here can also see our vision is incredibly gratifying—we are humbled by your feedback!

At present, HydraStudio is taking a post-jam break from game development for the month of July. Discussions for a roadmap likely won't be until around August-September, when another devlog will update you all on our expectations going forward with Spoonful of Sugar. If you're interested in keeping in touch with the team and fun easter eggs surrounding the game, please check out our Bsky and/or right here on our Tumblr, where we can receive submissions and answer most questions you may have regarding Casimir and the MC (spoiler-free, of course).

Thank you for your continued support of Spoonful of Sugar!

Spoonful of Sugar [DEMO] by HydraStudio, Mokki Tea, Keebs, verrdette, Nerevar, Stormy

A psychological fantasy romance VN about the danger of being loved by an old, powerful fae.

Do you like tall, hot fae men? Do you like tall, hot, YANDERE fae men?! Do you like MC's who have a bit of backbone and sass to them?

DO YOU LIKE SLOW BURN YANDERE?

Then boy, do I have a demo for you!

Say hello to Spoonful of Sugar! A project our crew worked hard on for the last two months for the 2026 Josei Game Jam!

There's whimsy, there's gaslighting, there's adorably fuzzy bees. If this shoots your fancy, go ahead and give it a try! It's about an hour of play time, two hours if you choose all the options, with plenty of fun and witty banter!

"Oh dear, let me see those smoky eyes 'Cause you're a villainous thing and and we can't have you living a lie"

Feeling stuck in-between comms so I asked @mokki-tea if I could practice rendering with one of their line arts—incidentally made the best Excommunicated Keeva I've ever colored in my LIFE. Actually obsessed with this like nothing before

I keep telling myself I will finish this but it's already been over a year since I started so enjoy the noticeable drop in quality and forgotten details—I find it adds to the experience
