- Full Release Date! - 28 February 2026
Big news! The game will be fully released on the 26th of July 2026! Which is exactly two years after launching into Early Access. It's taken a lot of work, much more than I expected, but I'm confident that I can finish everything before this date. Bugs have been squashed, content has been created and the scale and scope of this game became fairly huge. I can now see the finish line and what I need to get done to complete the project. This won't necessarily be the end of content updates, but the base game should be done. See you next time with Tiny Update #14!

- Idylls of the Lunar Maria is here! - 26 July 2024
Finally, I've released something on Steam! The game will get regular updates with new content and I will consider all suggestions in my discord (Link Here) as well as steam reviews and discussions. I won't increase the price so don't feel like you should buy it now. In fact I'd recommend waiting unless you want to support me. Cheers! :)
- Idylls of the Lunar Maria is almost here! Kind of! - 23 July 2024
Idylls of the Lunar Maria is releasing as Early Access very soon! I haven't finished the game to where I wanted it to be but I want to get it out there. There's much more content than in the Demo, also bug fixes, quality of life changes and balance improvements. The roadmap is vaguely this: Each main character will have 3 stories to play through, each changing up the game in some way. There might be a bespoke soundtrack! Will update on this if it happens. I would like to add Steam Achievements eventually All feedback will be considered! That includes desired additional content and changes. You can contact me in my Discord (Link Here) All bugs will be squished before I consider the game released I hope it only takes a few more months! And if you are unsure on buying the game during Early Access, please wait until release! It will get much better over time. Thanks to everyone who has trie…
