☀️ Summer diary: video games!
How are you doing?
Today, we have a few announcements to celebrate summer season with you!
First of all, we have created a Steam page for our coming visual novel game The Doll Shop! 🎉🎊Yay! 🤗
After many years of making free amateur games, this will be our very first serious professional project. You can already discover the poster illustration and add it to your wishlist if you want to be informed when the game will be released. You can also follow the project to know about our progress on it.
Discover our teaser video on the Steam page:

We have completed something like 50 % and would love to launch The Doll Shop for Halloween. But we know that we still have a lot of work to do, not only on the game itself, but also the sound effects, the translations and all. We’ll do our best!
And of course, we’ll continue sharing the making of on Patreon. ☺️
Meanwhile, if you want to help us, please consider adding the game to your wishlist. This is the best way to make the game more popular on Steam. ❤️
The second news is something we had to keep secret until recently:
Death Stranding 2 was released these days and our characters are somewhere inside the game! 😆
Remember when we visited Kojima Productions in 2023? Well, we’ve been there twice and, the 2nd time, they scanned our face to create our 3D versions! It still seems completely crazy to us. That day, we were in "travel" mode, our hair disheveled by the freezing February wind in Tokyo, huge dark circles under our eyes due to jet lag and stress... haha! But the staff was really kind and warm and explained us everything carefully.
We were surrounded by dozens of cameras, and a crew member was explaining to us how to make facial expressions. The hardest part for us was expressing happiness! 😅
We were not sure if they would use the scans but two years later, last January, in the train going to Angoulême comic festival, we received an email from Kojima Productions asking us to validate our 3D models. We couldn’t believe it! 😱
We’ve been huge fans of Kojima’s game since our childhood. We’ve been inspired by his narration style and the unique atmospheres he creates. And now, we're inside his game, aside actors we admire like Lea Seydoux and famous filmmakers like George Miller and Nicolas Winding Refn! I guess we can rest in peace now.
We hope you’ll enjoy playing DS2 and try to find us! Feel free to send us screenshots if you do ☺️
