Dragonfly Studios

Welcome to the second season of Diamond Idol, a reality TV show where you can become the most talked about idol in the country. Your brother won the first season, and you are ready to follow in his footsteps. Winning this contest might be the only avenue to dancing with him on stage again. Make friends, train hard, and do whatever it takes to become this season’s Diamond Idol! ** Hello all, it’s been a while. To be fully honest, I’ve been struggling a lot with my writing this year. When IGMC2018 dropped, I saw it as a chance to light a fire under my butt and force myself to make -something- At the start of development, I was fighting with my same rut, but eventually I managed to break free and really enjoy working on this project with Racheal.

Dia:dol is a game made in a month for IGMC 2018. The theme of IGMC this year was to build a prototype, rather than a finished game. As such, Dia:dol is currently in an unfinished state. This prototype focuses on the first few weeks of one possible route to the game. The game is a visual novel/simulation where you raise your character through training and your friendships through socializing. As of right now, only the bare bones exist, but we hope that by playing it you can see the sort of experience we hope to build with it.

Mi nombre es Princesa Monica Logelin; la mayor de los dos hijos nacidos en el Reino Logelin. Ya que mi hermano menor es un chico, él es quien está destinado a tomar el trono y ser Rey. Así que, ¿qué deja eso para mí? Entrenar duro hasta ser una señorita apropiada para que tal vez algún día pueda ser casada con el Príncipe de otro reino. Esencialmente, mi única menta en la vida es ser una Reina. Estaba cansada de una vida como esa.

Me había dormido en mis estudios mucho, pero ese día tome mi resistencia unos pasos más adelante que nunca antes. ¡Bajo el disfraz de tomar un descanso, me escabullí de los aburridos estudios de la Señorita Appleby y en camino hacia mi meta final para el día! ¡Ir en una cita!

¡Claro, necesitaba encontrarme al hombre correcto para la hazaña primero!

Castle Chase es un juego otome/puzzle hecho por Racheal y MakioKuta en RPG maker VX.

It’s time to announce the winners of the April was a Fool Design Contest!

In first place, is Winter’s design with a landslide of 57% of the votes. A huge, HUGE congrats to our winner! Your design will be featured in the game! I’m very excited~! It’s a great design.

In second place is @fictional01‘s design! It was a tight race between this and another design; watching them battle was pretty epic!

And Maki’s Pick goes to @gourd-clae I found the design to be really charming to work with!

So a huge applause for our winners! And another huge applause to everyone who entered. We got some wonderful designs all around and I was very excited to see them all. (I may just draw them all in the future just because) And yet another applause for everyone who voted. There’d be no winners without you.

To our winners, I’ll be contacting you personally soon to sort out your rewards and such. Don’t forget everyone who entered wins a free sketch of the AwaF character of their choice! So hit me up by email with which character you would like. :)

This contest was a lot of fun and I hope we can have more like it in the future. Thank you so much for all your support <3 <3 That we could have a contest like this with the turnout that we did means so much to me.

Hello everyone!

First, a huge thank you to EVERYONE who entered a design for the contest; now we’ll move onto the next phase. Voting! Take a look at the 11 designs we received from all of you and vote for the one that you think we should use.

Remember, this is a design that will be used in the post game short stories after May graduates Hero Academy - so try to pick a design that will work for ANY of the classes she could pick between:  Mage, Warrior, Priest, Rogue, or, well, “Politician”

CLICK HERE TO CAST YOUR VOTE!

Voting will last for two weeks. I’ll close the poll May 18th before I go to work. I’ll get a time when I know what I work.

Here’s a link to the original rules just in case.

Due to a slight miscommunication, this song got uploaded publicly as well. Rather than tug it down though, what’s what more song to everyone? After this, all the new music will be Patreon only!

Anyway, here’s the new Trouble! theme. It’ll replace the song that played during the battles with the Raven and the Jungle Dragon! Basically, it’s AwaF’s mid-boss battle theme. ;D Personally, this matches a lot better with the scenes in my mind than the old one did.

Hello everyone! I’ve set up a patreon to help with funding some of the things involved with April was a Fool’s expansion and future game projects for Dragonfly Studios.

There’s a handful of rewards to be had for each tier including sneak peeks of AwaF’s continued development and other projects that crop up.

This is my first time using Patreon, but hopefully it will go smoothly both for myself and anyone who chooses to support! More milestones and rewards will be added in the future as I can. (like expanding the s6 store to include other games for one thing or translations into other languages, because that is NOT cheap.)

I said a while back that when April was a Fool reached 4000 downloads I’d release this as a wallpaper, and then we reached 4000 downloads way faster than I was expecting after saying that. We’re up to 4500 now! So after MUCH delay, here’s this image at a plethora of resolutions. I tried to hit what I know are the most popular ones, but if anyone needs something else zany that I missed, let me know! <3 Thanks again to EVERYONE who has taken the time to play AwaF! We’re knee deep in our next game (which the team is devblogging about each sunday over here), but I’m super pumped to start the writing for AwaF’s expansion in July.

Dragonfly Studios official Society6! 

Good morning everyone! I finished the image last night and just in time because it looks like Society6 has free shipping and 20% off right now (May 24, 2015 | excluding prints)! So what better time to check out the Society6 that I’ve been slowly setting up. :)

Expect more things there in the future, including merch for other Dragonfly Studios games! If there’s anything specific you’d like to see, be sure to let us know and I’ll keep that in mind. I’ll be hoping to make more character specific goods in the future for sure.

April was a Fool - Download Here! (Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux)

Two years ago, six heroes rose to stop an Evil Overlord from taking over the world. They were honoured as World-Class Heroes for their efforts. When a new threat appears, His Majesty King of Castle City calls upon these same six Heroes once again. However– for tragic reasons, only five of them are available.

Faced with the reality that admitting to the king why one person isn’t there would be too difficult, the Heroes approach May, a young girl who is just starting her first job to raise money for school, for help. Soon, she’s whisked away with them to battle Dragons, inner demons, and the occasionally pushy suitor on a journey to vanquish Evil and save the world.

And maybe she’ll score some sweet kisses as well.

*****

April was a Fool is Dragonfly Studios’ (Castle Chase, Punch Bears, Halloween Flop) newest game. Made in RenPy over the course of three months, this Visual Novel game has 5 routes to choose from and 11 endings to see. Determining May’s fate is as easy as deciding where you want to go - but what happens when you finally get there depends on how close you forge your bonds.

More information about the game and characters can be found here, and a small list of warnings can be found here. (there’s slight spoilers on that list)

For anyone wondering why I’ve been so quiet around here the last month, this is why. Working on a 4-10hour game for a contest is a lot of work, but without further delay, I am ready to introduce you all to the fruits of our team’s effort.

Sunken Spire is an RPG made for the 2014 Indie Game Maker Contest

Dragonfly Studios (Castle Chase, Halloween Flop, Punch Bears) and Blue Coral Games (Dead Moon Night, The Grumpy Knight, Search for Immortality) come together for the first time ever to create the newest entry in the Arum Universe.

Join Elsa the Death Knight and Alma the Magical Engineer as they complete their mission to investigate an uncovered hidden laboratory in the neighbouring country of Rumen. Sunken Spire is an RPG based around customization with each character having their own unique systems and growths to experiment with.

We hope you enjoy our entry!

HALLOWEEN BASH : download

Okay! I posted the super alpha version of this on Halloween, just to be with the spirit, but this version is a lot better! I know it’s not the spooky season anymore, but maybe you’re not ready to let go of the moment and are itching to play a Halloweeny game? Heh, anyway…

All of the battles have been rebalanced, skills actually do what they are supposed to do now, there were some additional graphics added, and the gameplay manual txt files actually exists. There are a few other Major changes, likes stat upgrades being awarded for searching around the manor and Roberta’s last skill being something that’s actually useful…

Unfortunately, this likely doesn’t work with save files from the first version; there were enough changes to negate that.

All that aside, if you try the game out we’re always open to feedback! It’s what helps us learn.

PUNCH BEARS EXTREME : DOWNLOAD

After consulting a couple of people, it was decided that Punch Bears needed -more!!-

Now we have a final battle and a new mode that is unlocked when you beat the game. Some other adjustments have been made to make the game tighter in general. Vocab changes, slight map edits, battle menu adjustments. Etc - Clearly!, the pinnacle of game development!

The Bears are the burdens of your life; get in there and PUNCH THEM!

- Special thanks to Rach for giving me a big hand with this silly thing.

Disclaimer: Once again, no bears were harmed in the making of this game.

A silly little game that Jen, the Roommate friend with no Tumblr, and I released on some gaming sites as a sort of April Fools day joke. It was originally for a Halloween contest, but sadly we failed to make the deadline. It got back burnered for a while, with all intentions to finish it eventually. Since Easter landed on April Fools Day, we figured yes! This was the perfect chance

We did a lot of pointless game art for this, to try to get across that whole old school video game industry. Thus, the drastically different Japanese and American covers and that amazing magazine ad!.

It requires Windows to run, sorry.

You can download it HERE if you’re interested in trying it out!
