Yesterday we launched Luv Parade and can we just say WOW! Thank you so much for your kind words, the amount of playthroughs, and the love being shown for Zenith!

This game was quickly thrown together to participate in the Trans Joy Game Jam. We joined immediately after it was announced, even though we are literally in the middle a massive game we have in the works. So to make a game like this on the fly we found three points of inspiration.

First, Trans rights are human rights!

Second, we are a studio composed of queer, trans, and nonbinary members.

Third, we wanted to show love and support to the community while also highlighting the trans and queer pioneers who danced before us.

While we were late in submitting this game to the Trans Joy Game Jam due to a game breaking bug, we also had a whole lot of life happen too! While we won’t go into the gritty details, we’ll just add that crunch is whack and no matter what happens, always choose your team over the finish line. Making it to the end with sleep is always going to make for a better project. We are grateful we were still included with so many incredible games and projects, which we super implore you to check out all of the other submissions.

What’s next? We’re all going to get more sleep! After that, finish Aura’s route for the base game, and finish the extra CGs we had planned. This includes the CG for the “hug” ending we were unable to finish on time.

Lastly, we want to shine a big spotlight on the fact that yes, Elissa Campbell, our Lead Programmer, is responsible for coding this entire game in GODOT for us. Without her, we would not be be a studio, and for that we shall always be grateful to her!

On that note, if you like our game, please consider leaving us a comment or a rating, those really help to improve our understanding of what we did right and help guide us to what we can improve on! We’re very proud to have come this far, and we have much more joy in store for the community at large.

Happy Friday everyone, remember to party on Players!
