Golden Hour Otome Kickstarter is now LIVE!

Golden Hour is a free-to-play otome game for Android and iOS developed by an indie team from Manila!

Here's what we hope to bring to the table:

Unique cultural influences expressed in art and story,

A truly mobile experience (attend classes through the calendar, keep your contacts on your phone, and access CGs through your gallery),

Crack humor from your schoolmates on the social media mode,

Friends/rivals per route (you’re not the only one after the bachelors - ala Harvest Moon)

And much more!

Please help spread the word (reblogs are much appreciated) and support us on this journey to releasing a visual novel! 

Get the demo on Google Play!

(iOS version coming in the next few days)

Love,

The Matchaa Team

LOST LIGHT (2017)

Uploading a bunch of artwork I finished for Global Game Jam last month! Our team worked on a rhythm game that revealed a story as the screen moves horizontally across panels :> Realized that they kinda look like comic panels so there :V

This is only...20% of the total art. And I had to illustrate everything in under 48 hours ; ____ ; I got sick for a couple days after that game jam OTL BUT IT WAS FUN

We’re 100% Funded on Kickstarter!

We’re floored by the support we’ve gotten over just 12 days and we’re extremely grateful to everyone who’s tried out and shared about the game (especially those who have backed us!) Fingers crossed that all pledges stay with us until the end of the campaign *u* We’re now attempting to reach our stretch goals in the coming days/weeks.

Check out the campaign here and help us get there!

As a thank you to our current backers, we’re creating extra content for the demo! We’re hoping to release it within June, and it will be available to all our backers (pledging 1AUD or more gets you access to the backer community!) It’s a special scene that revolves around everyone’s favorite teacher ;)

Note: $1 pledge for the special chapter is only available until June 2 11:59PM UTC+8! After that only regular tier backers will receive the special DLC.

See you in the next update~! 

Cheers,

The Matchaa Team

It's the last 24 hours of the Kickstarter campaign!

It's been an exhausting journey (having to make both the game and the campaign) but the support we've gotten over the past few days has been more than worth it! Fingers crossed for the last few hours—we're less than AU$500 away from the Bonus Sprites stretch goal!

Also, the team has been working on the expanded demo (with the Sir San special chapter) - so please watch out for it in the coming weeks :> The chapter is available to all our regular tier backers :) See you guys at the finish line!

Cheers, The Matchaa Team
