Hey! We're nearing the end of October, which means the Community Voting period for 2024 Spooktober VN Jam has almost concluded! In the last three weeks, The Stars Under Lockehurst has achieved over 800 Plays,  and has numerous collaborations with content creators within the indie game scene across Twitch and YouTube. Our team is blown away by the support TSUL has received this month, and we cannot thank everyone enough! Even our lovely Alice Porter is leaping for joy! Thank you so much! Alice drawn by our Monster Artist, Rex!

If you missed the livestream for MissKatonik's playthrough for TSUL, you can now enjoy the complete VOD on her official YouTube! Watch Part 1 for Garret + Sanraya's Route, and Part 2 for Angel + Mikel's Route! Thank you again to Miss Katonik, please be sure to return the love by checking her out on Twitch and YouTube.

We've dived into the deep ocean blue once more with Jellyf1sh Noodles for the end of their playthrough of TSUL! Watch the complete VOD on Jelly's Twitch to see what ending and Love Interest that Jelly ends up with! New to this series? You can start with Part 1, here on Youtube!

Last week, our development team for The Stars Under Lockehurst was invited to a Live Q&A with MisterShins, a casual streamer who enjoys MMOs, RPGS, and VNs, where his complete playthrough and interview was livestreamed on Twitch!  We were so grateful for the unique opportunity to watch along his playthrough, and for a lovely chat about the making of TSUL and its loveable eldritch horrors. You can also enjoy the event on MisterShins' YouTube channel, or read the complete transcript for the interview here! Be sure to stay tuned for MisterShins' upcoming livestream with the developers for Spooktober entry, Exposure!

Finally, we're excited to share that The Stars Under Lockehurst will be part of Indie Game Academy's Monthly Playtest Night! They'll be helping us test the new features for V1.6, including our new CG Gallery, minigame difficulty adjustments, and more. Join us on October 24th 7PM EST on the official IGA Discord Server to check out our new updates!
