Skywrite Studios and Meant to Bee Studios

Quick reminder that Skywrite and Meant to Bee Studios are one and the same, except now Meant to Bee Studios will be our NSFW branch; since Itch likes to mark whole accounts as NSFW now. We'd prefer if our SFW and NSFW projects remain separated for this reason. 

As before, I highly encourage following both accounts here on Itch, Bluesky, Tumblr, and Twitter if you feel so inclined, unless of course you're only interested in either SFW or NSFW projects exclusively. 

"Dream Date"

Our first game for 2026 Dream Date is on its way, you can play it for free right now! Our patrons were able to play it over a week ago before anyone else, you too can play all our games early if you join our Patreon at the $3 tier. It's set to release in the next couple days. 

In Dream Date you play as a self-insert MC, on a solo trip to Paris, and make a wish on a star... And that star comes to life to grant your wishes and is also cute??

Meet Celestin, the love interest who is full of love, light, and whimsy.

"Dream Date" is a sweet and short game, totaling about half an hour to an hour of playtime. It's a short and incredibly sweet experience that's also fully voiced in English, and will be translated and voiced in French come February!

"Carved in Stone Expansion"

You read that right! Carved in Stone is expanding, which sounds like a euphemism, and maybe is to a degree lol.

But jokes aside, more Gargoyle lover! Carved in Stone Expansion is a continuation of where Carved in Stone left off. Experience your domestic life with Carrick, with more choices and of course, more fully voiced smut!

It's about equal length to the original so about an hour and a half. With two smutty CGs guaranteed to make you blush.

It's currently in beta, and you'll be able to play it on Patreon now. It'll be released Valentine's Day (February 14th) 2026, and it'll be $3 USD for Windows/Linux/Mac (not Android yet) If you're a Patron, you will receive the game for free, along with all our past and future commercial projects, regardless of price.

Thanks to Patreon we were able to fund Carved in Stone Expansion which was something we were not planning to do originally, but with support we are more likely to expand on previous projects and fund entirely new ones. (We may have more in store for the coming year, so stay tuned!) So thank you so much! I can't wait for you guys to have some more Carrick, he's back and sexier than ever. 

"In Your Veins"

From the team that brought you "Criminally Yours" for last year's yandere jam, we bring you another yandere game for this year's yandere jam. We call it, "In Your Veins".

"In Your Veins" is a celtic gothic themed dark fantasy romance where you play as a family member of House Duskworn, a group of monster hunters. You're tasked with stopping the world from falling into an endless darkness, with the help of your monstrous, or more specifically, freaky, companions. We even have some art to share of one of our love interests! You can see all of them on Patreon!

Cassius [ca-see-us] [he/him], a coy vampire lord you've managed to collar, at least for now, though he doesn't seem to mind being handled by you.

Katya [cot-yuh] [she/they] is an easy-going witch apprentice. She's easily enthralled by the abnormal, including you. 

Arden [are-den] [they/them], a human eating Harpy who, though proven mostly harmless, refuses to leave you.

Yeaven [yay-ven] [he/him], an aristocratic Sun templar who stands against you.

The game is fully written and being programmed as we speak, with music and art assets being produced for this month and the next. The game is set to release in late February and early March, it'll cover the first half of the game (25k words) about 2-3 hours in length.

Double Fairy Feature: 

Our 2 fairy projects are set to release in late April/early May, hopefully around the same time. 

"My Sweet Fairy!"

Due to working on "Carved in Stone Expansion," I didn't make as much progress with MSF! Scripting as I would've liked, luckily though, I did make some substantial progress 3.5k out of a planned 10k-ish words, so it should only take another week for me to get it finished.. Half the game is pretty much programmed already, so now it's just a matter of getting the last half of the script put in, along with our sprite art. I fully intend for it to be finalized by March at this rate in terms of scripting/programming, just will need to wait on some art assets.

"My Sweet Fairy!" is a contemporary amare dating sim where you play as a workaholic named Valerie (renameable and has some light character customization) who tries to relax in a countryside cottage Airbnb (not sponsored) and ends up meeting an incredibly attractive fairy in the garden.

Here is some gorgeous art of the gorgeous love interest- Libby/Leif (you choose between the femme or masc version for your love interest, but they are the same character). In the example alone, you'll be able to pick your skin tone, in addition to your wings???

When finished, it'll be about a 3-4 hour story and complete. It's a very wholesome time, probably one of our most light-hearted stories we've written to this day. It's guaranteed to put you in a good mood.

 "Ducky"

Ducky is a fantasy romance comedy, play as the title character, "Ducky." A spunky small-town fairy, with a dream of moving to a human city, purchasing an apartment all for herself.

Though it's a dangerous trip, so she enlists the help of a monster hunter, Gerrit.

Together they make the 9 month travel to the big city, falling in love with the changing of the seasons.

Ducky is in production, I plan to write the entire script in February, making February my fairy themed month LOL. Like My Sweet Fairy, a good portion of the script is already written at the moment with all CGs and sprites already sketched. We also are working on getting a GUI, and here's a little preview of that.

Also like My Sweet Fairy! Ducky will be a 3-4 hour complete romance comedy game featuring fairies, though they are quite distinct from one another in a lot of key ways. Ducky, for instance, is a set character with no customization, but Ducky will also have an NSFW epilogue when released. (Priced at about $5 USD), But the main game will be absolutely free!

"Starfallen: Strength"

"Starfallen: Strength" is also very much in the works, we are a team of 5 writers, with 6 total routes.

Joy- Idris and Colette

Grey- Xavi

Yuno-Faron

Lulu- Verona

Chris- Deon

Check out last month's devlog for more detailed information on the game. Regarding the 2 main characters and their respective love interests. Our GUI is finished and to die for, it's so stunning! Shoutout Skolatzia for all her hard work.

Here's a snippet, you can see all the bells and whistles on our Patreon. Here with the textbox, you can see how it shifts in color depending on which character you are playing as- yellow for Lennon and blue for Petra.

"Four Horsemen"

As before, our Four Horsemen dating sim is still in very early development, we will be working on it after Strength's release for Otome jam. So you can expect to learn much more about it come May/June devlog. Or sooner on our Patreon (is this getting old yet?) 

"Rectifier"

If you somehow didn't see, Rectifier: In Bloom is now on Steam! However, it's cheaper here on Itch. However, if you want to support us, purchasing there, as well as reviewing helps us a great deal, especially with funding the main game.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3920320/Rectifier_In_Bloom/ We are continuing to outline and write for Rectifier, our wonderful writer for Lior, Emile, and Wren Keenie will be able to help us come March, so hopefully we will have some snippets to share come that devlog. 

I still plan to have an alpha build of ACT 1 so we can release at least a portion of the story in 2027. 

If you're interested and want to be the first to know when we recruit for beta readers/playtesters please consider joining the Skywrite Discord server here: https://discord.gg/QUTBnPSCgj (I also post some very silly memes on there, as well as on my tiktok @flowersforjoy) you can also follow us on our Tumblr.
