- Eco Mode Feature - 19 November 2025
Hello there!We just launched a new feature: the Eco Mode! Some players have encountered difficulties with the QTE; the buttons were not appearing correctly. This is because the visual effects we have incorporated into the game may require too many resources for older computers. To include everyone, we decided to develop a feature that allows VFX to be replaced with still images, making the game accessible to everyone.Some Kickstarter Backers helped us refine this feature, and we hope you find it useful and enjoy it 💚We will also expand the narrative to consider adding additional branches in the full game, allowing you to shape the story according to your choices, truly ✨
- Ecosphere's Kickstarter is live! - 20 May 2025
Here we are! Ecosphere's Kickstarter is live! After two years of development, the project is already well advanced: character sprites, backgrounds, and OST are funded. But we have also created 60% of the CGs! That's why we launched this crowdfunding campaign! Art and music are commissioned from freelance artists. Demo and OST were paid for entirely out of the director's own pocket. For the complete game, a co-financer helped us with backgrounds, character sprites, and half of the CGs. To complete the game, we are launching this Kickstarter campaign: you can join us to bring this project to life with charming additional illustrations!
- 3 days until Kickstarter! - 16 May 2025
We'll launch our Kickstarter campaign on May 19th 💚✨ During our pre-campaign, we created a survey to know more about the rewards you could enjoy. With Zelyphia, our illustrator, we worked hard to propose charming physical rewards, and we can't wait to reveal them to you 😊 Partnerships have been formed with several streamers to broadcast the demo on Twitch and YouTube. We'll launch a Discord server for easy communication with backers. Funding raised by Kickstarter will go to complete the CGs creation, and the stretch goals aim to bring new content to the game! Take part in the journey! Follow the campaign now and be ready to bring this universe to life with us! 🚀

If you like the project and would like to support it, let us know by signing up! In any case, thank you so much for those who have been following us since the beginning 💚
- New Demo Available! - 3 March 2025
After several months of work and iterations, here's the new Ecosphere-Demo, for the VN Steam Fest! You can get to know the main characters through the first hour (approx.) of gameplay. The demo follows directly from the Prologue released in December 2022. As Creative Director, I know that development time is fairly long for a VN, but this allows us to offer you the best possible technical rendering! I'm pleased with the progress I've made in programming over the last few months. My team of artists also gives their all to achieve the best artistic and musical direction. ːsteamhappyː We've kept the point-and-click exploration mechanics and dynamic QTE choices from the previous demo. But we've completely overhauled the drag-and-drop system to simplify it, while still allowing you to interact with the backgrounds. Although the basics are there, the sound design is still highly perfectible a…
