Hello and welcome to the official page dedicated to everything "Starfruit Grove: Festival of Lights"!! This is a project that has been roughly 2 years in the making, and I'm excited to share more as the process of development continues!! Want to know more about the game? Read a small summary about it below!

"Starfruit Grove: Festival of Lights" is a peaceful, slice-of-life video game that takes place in a vibrant and colorful world filled with fun characters and unique settings. The game is designed to be relaxing and focuses on the joys of interaction and storytelling, rather than combat!

Players take on the role of a returning resident on one of the cozy islands of Starfruit Grove, where they must explore the local area, meet new friends, and build relationships with the townsfolk. Each day in the game is a new adventure, filled with opportunities to learn more about the world and its inhabitants!

Ultimately, the goal of "Starfruit Grove: Festival of Lights" is to create a warm and inviting world where players can immerse themselves in the joys of everyday life, even if one deals with self-doubt and even burnout from their normal day-to-day life. Whether they're exploring the town's many secrets, bonding with its inhabitants, or simply enjoying the beautiful scenery, players will find plenty of opportunities to relax, unwind, and connect with a world that feels both familiar and enchanting!

General inspirations for the game include:

• Magic Pengel: The Quest for Color

• Kingdom Hearts

• Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

• Pokemon: Black and White

• Music by Louie Zong

Thank you for taking the time to read! If you'd like to support this journey or stay updated with the progress, hear music, see featured art, and more, feel free to stick around! I'll be doing an actual introduction soon, but for now, here's a small concept for the title screen!

ISLAND Launches August 24th on Steam

Synopsis:

Urashima is a small island, far from mainland Japan. It's a true utopia, blessed with rich natural beauty. But the island harbors a difficult past, and it's about to be erased, silently, from history.

Soot blight syndrome, an endemic disease, has brought about a rift between the island and the mainland. An offshore platform intended for marine research has long been left abandoned; five years ago, three separate incidents brought the once influential Three Families of Urashima to near ruin. Rumors about children being spirited away have become part of the local folklore, alongside another legend, one that has been repeated on the island since time immemorial...

"Let me tell you the legend of this island: it's a story of tragic love..."

The key to saving the island lies with three girls, each of whom belongs to one of the Three Families. These girls aren't able to change the fate of the island by themselves, but might they succeed with the help of the young man who's just washed ashore? Claiming that he's traveled back in time, the man immediately sets out on a lonely path, challenging the longstanding traditions of the island, and seeking to change the future. But those aren't his only goals...

How will his presence transform the lives of these three girls, the future of the island, and the fate of the world...?

Loca-Love’s story is as follows:

Aoi Ichitaro had been living on his own, until disaster strikes at his apartment and he’s temporarily evicted. However, his misfortune turns out to be a blessing in disguise…

“Y-You’re… free to come and stay at my place!!”

Kojika Hiwa – Ichitaro’s coworker at his part-time job – seems to have gathered all her courage to invite him over. Ichitaro, who had already taken a liking toward her, happily accepts, signaling the beginning of their new life together.

At first, things are awkward and embarrassing, but once the two become aware of their mutual feelings, their life takes a turn for the sweet. Sleeping, eating, going to school… every moment of the day is pure bliss when spent together with the caring and homey Hiwa. Naturally, Ichitaro wishes that they could keep on living together forever. There’s just one thing he needs to do to make that happen…
