#moonlightdialogue

Hello, Finders! April is in full bloom! We can’t believe half the year is almost gone... This has to be a joke, right?!

Anyway, let’s dive into the April Development Diary!!

🗺️ New Roadmap

Our development schedule has been updated, so We’d like to share the revised roadmap with you! Our goal is to wrap up the Moonlight Dialogue journey within this year. 🙇🏻‍♀️ Please understand that schedules are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances, but as always, we will do our absolute best to stick to this roadmap!

I wonder... will we be smiling in December 2026?!

📌Season 3: In Progress

Scenario✒️: 40% Complete

Programming🛠️: 5% Complete

Art🎨: 30% Complete

My goal is to focus heavily on the scenario throughout May and complete all voice recordings by June!! We’ll do my best to balance this with my main job so We stay healthy and avoid any delays!

Other Stories

My niece painted a tote bag for Earth Day (April 22nd) at school, and she gave it to me as a gift, saying she thought of Moonlight Dialogue while making it! 💓 She hasn't played the whole game yet, but I guess the loading screen left a big impression on her, haha. It was so cute that I just had to share it with you all.

Lastly, here’s a little sneak peek of a cropped image from Sooha's route!!

Hello, Finders!! 🌿

June has arrived, bringing all the fresh greenery with it! 🥹🥹 Thank you so much for stopping by to read our development log once again. Your support truly means the world to us. 🥹

Without further ado, let's jump right in!

Steam Version Update

QA has officially been completed, and we're currently going through the review process for our Korean release!

Planned Steam Early Access Release: July 17!

Thank you all so much for wishlisting the game!! It truly means a lot to us!!!!! 💖

What's Coming This July?

💜 We're working hard on the Suha Route, which is scheduled to launch in August!

The entire scenario has now been completed, and we're currently implementing everything into the game.

Throughout July, we'll mainly be focusing on:

QA for the Sooha Route

Developing the build script for the Yuchae and Seojun Routes

As for Seasons 3 and 4... we still have a long road ahead of us...!! 😭

But one thing we can promise is this: We never break the promises we make to our players.

We'll do everything we possibly can to release them in December as planned!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Voice Recording Complete!

We've officially finished recording all of the main character voices!

We're incredibly grateful to our voice actors, who always give every recording session their absolute best. Thank you so much... 😭😭😭

Someday...

We'd love to hold all kinds of events, such as:

Moonlight Dialogue Voice Actor Concert

Voice Actor Fan Songs

Voice Actor Free Talk Sessions

Fan Sign Events

...and so much more! 🥹🥹🥹

We also gave our voice actors some Moonlight Dialogue SD character cookies as gifts this time! 🍪

Hopefully one day we'll be able to share them with all of you, our Finders, too... 🥺 We really hope that day comes!

If you haven't seen our recording session behind-the-scenes yet...

You definitely should! 🥹🥹 Our voice actors are incredibly talented, adorable, handsome, and beautiful!!

A Surprise Character Reveal!

The mysterious character who briefly appeared in the video is...

Hwan! 😆

What kind of connection does Hwan have with Sooha?

And that's not all! The Sooha Route introduces even more characters connected to Suha's life besides Hwan. 🤭

It'll offer a completely different experience from the Jiwon Route, so we hope you're looking forward to discovering an entirely new side of the story. 💜

Other Updates

💞What’s Your Attachment Style in Relationships? •••

A Loyal Puppy? (ᐡ- ﻌ •ᐡ) Or an Independent Kitty? /ᐠ ᵕ ˕ ᵕマ

Find Out Now 🔍 ➫ https://ntaleclosetest.vercel.app Language settings → Top right! 🌐

This is the attachment style test we previously shared on X (formerly Twitter)! 💞 There are 7 different possible results to discover! We put a lot of love into making it, so seeing so many of you take the test was incredibly touching. 🥹

👻 How to Get Rid of Ghosts

Our idea of a huge success is just breaking even. :) After we shared this little trick, someone told us it was actually a great way to scare ghosts away—and said they'd start using it themselves too. 😂

So we thought we'd share this "pro tip" with all of our Finders as well. Hopefully it'll help keep any ghosts away! Haha.

🎉 BIC Preliminary Selection

We applied to the Busan Indie Connect Festival (BIC) again this year! Last year we weren't selected at all, but this year we at least made the waiting list. 😭

Unfortunately, since exhibiting at BIC is an incredibly valuable opportunity, it's very rare for waiting list spots to open up.

So to be honest... we're not expecting our number to come up this time either. 😭😭 We're really sorry... It's such a shame!!

Hopefully, before we die, we'll get the chance to be selected at least once. 🥹

We'll keep working even harder! We're determined to participate in at least one game exhibition this year.

Hello, Finders!

It’s already the end of May. After some surprisingly hot days, the weather has cooled down a little again!

Let’s do our best to survive this summer together! ☀️

Good News!

🎉 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. ❤️

Oh my goodness... I can’t believe February is already over!!!!!

Let’s skip the small talk and dive straight into the February dev log!

[Jiwon’s Ending Status]

Scenario Writing ✒️: 100% Complete

Programming 🛠️: 90% Complete (Remaining: QA)

Art 🎨: 100% Complete

Sound 🔊: 100% Complete

Translation 🔡: 80% Complete

Wow!!!!! Season 1.5 Jiwon’s Route is almost finished! Once we wrap up the translation and QA, we’ll finally be able to present Jiwon’s route to all of you!!!! We are doing our absolute best, working hard after our day jobs!!!!

We’re so eager to hand over Jiwon’s route to our beloved Finders 🥹. Our entire team is pouring our hearts and souls into this project. We hope you’ll love it... but also, please don’t have too high expectations(?) What if you’re disappointed... T_T

[4-Panel Comics]

Did you happen to see the 4-panel comics uploaded to X (Twitter)? We prepared special Valentine’s Day and Lunar New Year comics! We hope our Finders had a wonderful time with Seojun and Yuchae >_<

[Sooha’s Route]

One of Sooha's route backgrounds.

The scenario for Sooha’s route is about 80% complete. (Actually, I thought it was 100%, but as I play through the game myself, I keep seeing so many things to improve... Why does it feel like there's always more to polish? We plan to fix that remaining 20% while working on the build!)

Work on backgrounds, CGs, standing sprites, and illustrations is also underway! Also, please note that there will be a change in the release order of the character routes. We'll post a separate official announcement, but I wanted to give you a heads-up here in the dev log! :)

[Preparing for the Steam Launch of 'Moonlight Dialogue']

To ensure the continuous development of the game and to connect with even more players, we are currently preparing for our official Steam launch. We would truly appreciate your support and cheers on this new journey!

Heres Steam Version Banner!

Steam Pricing Policy: Equivalent to the [Full Pass + Calling Rights] on the mobile version.

We set the price based on the "lowest possible price" available on the mobile store (applying currency discounts and permanent launch coupons).

Adding our game to your Steam wishlist truly means the world to us!!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

We are striving to set the most reasonable price that both mobile and PC players can agree on, ensuring a great experience for everyone on both platforms without any feeling of discrimination! Just as we ran a Kickstarter campaign during our mobile launch, we are excited to announce that we will also open a short-term Kickstarter for the Steam version!

Closing Thoughts...

It would be a shame to leave just like this... so here is a sneak peek of Jiwon in surgical scrubs!

Jiwon’s route features incredible performances from our voice actors and the very essence of our team's hard work. As the build update gets closer, we’ll return with a more detailed official announcement!

Thank you so much for always reading our news, leaving reactions, and for not forgetting us 🥺. As long as you are here, we will do everything in our power!!!!

Stay healthy and happy always! 💓

Hello, Finders!! We’re back with our March dev log!!

I can’t believe it’s already end of March… it doesn’t feel real!!

Without further ado, let’s jump right into what we’ve been working on this month!

✨ Jiwon Route Released

The Jiwon Route has finally been released!

In our previous roadmap, we mentioned a planned release in April, but thanks to the incredible effort of our team, we were able to release it earlier on March 10.

We’re truly grateful to our team members for their hard work—everyone did an amazing job. Thank you so much, always!!

🎨 About the Title Image

During our title image planning discussions, we wanted to go beyond simply creating something eye-catching. Our goal was to design an image that reveals deeper meaning after completing the game—something that makes you think, “Ah… so that’s what it meant.”

We hoped that the excitement you feel at the beginning would carry through to the very end, leaving a lasting impression even after finishing the story.

✍️ A Note from the PD

It’s truly an honor to share these updates with you once a month. Even though these posts may feel small and insignificant to me, the thought that they might bring joy to someone makes me incredibly grateful.

So today… I brought a few small (and maybe slightly unnecessary 😆) stories to share!

1. The “Final Final Final… Final Final Final Final Build”

Thinking_Scapy(Developer): By any chance, is the script not finished yet? Since there was no '(editing in progress)' in the document title, I thought the revisions were done and applied it to the sheet. Ah, it wasn’t under revision—it was still being written.

Crying Character(Me): I thought I had finished it too, but when I checked again, something strange showed up.

For some reason, things that don’t stand out in the script files suddenly become obvious during build testing… So we end up going through what feels like the final of the final of the final build… over and over again (x21 😂)

I’m always a bit clumsy, so I really appreciate our developer for being so patient with me 🙇🏻‍♀️ And to all our Finders who kindly overlook bugs—thank you so much as well!!

Bug reports and typo reports are always welcome, so please feel free to let us know anytime!

2. Scary episode during QA

There was a moment during QA where Jiwon was supposed to exit the scene… but he just kept standing there. It was kinda terrifying 😭 The bug has been fixed now, so no worries!

When writing the scenario, we first build a large narrative framework, then we write while imagining how these characters—who feel very alive to us—would act within it.

3. Thesis Presentation about Moonlight Dialogue

As I mentioned before, I wrote my graduate thesis about our game—and I recently presented it!

I’m continuing to work hard in hopes that this research can contribute to improving our game.

4. Still Working Hard…!

Is it okay to share something a bit weak like this? 😆 Recently, my wrist has been hurting again, so I’ve been working while wearing a wrist brace.

I’m really grateful for modern technology—this brace helps a lot! Thanks to it, I’ve been able to keep working without too much trouble 😊

5. Chinese Logo for Moonlight Dialogue

Here is the Chinese version of our game’s logo!

We felt that it captures the essence of our game really well, so we wanted to share it with you 💓

Greetings, Finders!Please take care of yourselves during this change of seasons!We are excited to share the news regarding the Moonlight Dialogue Ver 1.2 Patch.

Please update the game from the app store!!

1. Enhanced Prologue Details 🔮

Choice Updates: Added and refined several dialogue choices.

Another big milestone this month — we’ve completed our voice recording sessions!

We’re doing our very best to deliver updates even faster than the roadmap we previously shared, pushing forward with everything we’ve got!

For a small indie game like ours, simply having Finders who stay with us means more than words can express. We’re grateful every single day.

We promise to repay your support by creating the best game we possibly can. Thank you, always 🤍
