🎉 Moonlight Dialogue Has Reached 10,000 Mobile Downloads!
Thank you so much to everyone who has played our game—even if only for a single second!
As an indie game, we received almost no external support and spent very little on marketing, so reaching this milestone honestly feels like a miracle.
Finders, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
Maybe if we keep working this hard, we'll finally escape being in the red someday!
Knowing that our efforts have reached you fills us with happiness and gratitude.
We hope that one day, the love we share for Moonlight Dialogue will reach the sky itself.
🎉 Steam Wishlist Count Has Surpassed 1,000!
How is this even possible?!🥹
We truly never expected this.🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 This feels like another miracle. Thank you. Really, truly, thank you.
A Few Words from the Planner
Thank you for taking the time to read these monthly development updates.
Last year and the year before, we participated in PlayX4. Since we're not attending this year, it feels a little bittersweet.
Back in July last year, we even held a fan-sign event and invited Jiwon and Soo-ha cosplayers at Comic World!
Those memories still mean so much to us. To every Finder who attended our events, thank you sincerely. Because of you, we were able to create precious memories, and we hope those memories were just as meaningful for you.
During the final week of May, I focused on writing the Final Chapter.
Every day I wrote roughly 10,000 English characters, going through draft after draft, revision after revision, until completion.
Of course, after cutting, refining, and polishing, much less remains in the final version.
Many of these scenarios were originally planned over three years ago.
Seeing them finally become real scripts, line by line, filled me with emotions that are difficult to describe.
These aren't characters created by someone else.
They're characters that we created, raised, and developed entirely within NTale from beginning to end.
That's why they mean so much to us.
Right now, these stories are still undeveloped film waiting to be processed.
We can't wait to finish the work and finally show them to all of you. (I know I've probably said that a hundred times already. 😭)
Even after the Final Chapter, we still have countless ideas planned, including After Endings and DLC content.
To us, the Final Chapter is not the end—it is simply the path leading to those future stories.
To be honest, I'm the kind of person who waits until a drama is completely finished before starting it!
So this year, we'll continue focusing entirely on development.
Just as we always have, we'll do our very best.
Thank you, as always, for your support. ❤️
