Happy Halloween and very Happy Spooktober Everyone!

The development team for The Stars Under Lockehurst is very proud to announce that our entry to 2024 Spooktober VN Jam has received an Honorable Mention! Our team was so happy to receive this honor, and we could not be more proud of everyone's hardwork, heart, and dedication to see TSUL to fruition, and receive so much recognition this past October! Thank you to EVERYONE who has expressed love and support for TSUL- We absolutely cannot thank you enough!

We've also observed a staggeringly HIGH amount of Plays for TSUL this October: Totaling to OVER 1.3K! To celebrate, our Character Designer and Sprite Artist Polly (oh, that's me!) has created this special illustration! Very heartfelt thank you to our VA for Angel, Lena Garcia, for pitching the ADORABLE idea of everyone wearing creature onesies for Halloween. Imagine the fishy gang down Cape Lockehurst in these costumes! Our hearts cannot take it, but we hope yours can! Thank you so much for playing The Stars Under Lockehurst!

Woah! We were thankful to catch a livestream and full playthrough of TSUL just a day before the Awards Ceremony! Check out Xiruo, a VN Developer, Steampunk themed VTuber, and Artist/Writer/Coder for Zodiac Paradigm, an entry to 2024 Spooktober VN Jam, where she plays for TWO Endings on Twitch! If you want more from Xiruo, be sure to check out her other games on itch.io and content on YouTube!

Finally, 1.6.2 of The Stars Under Lockehurst is now available to play! We had quietly pushed 1.6 a while back, but this new build includes some new user friendly features and other fun tidbits, including:

• CG Gallery with unlockable CGs,
• Improved VFX,
• Improved mini-game difficulties for QTE and Fishing along with tweaks to UI for Fishing,
• Updated Monster Scam Artist Sprite,
• Miscellaneous game polish.

Thank you once more to everyone who has played TSUL, provided our team valuable feedback, and supported our project for the month of October! We hope you had a terrifyingly fun Spooktober, a Happy Halloween, and a Spooktacular visit to Cape Lockehurst!
