Early April Updates!
Some really exciting updates for April! First, we've built out a whole new dream sequence for our Steam demo (coming very soon!!!) that let's you imagine what it's like playing on stage at Emerald City Amphitheater. This functions as an exciting playable tutorial that let's you get accustomed to the rhythm portion of the game. Next, we got some amazing artwork for the park where you'll be busking and trying to make cash & some new fans! The calm before the storm - it's early

Frankenmuth, Michigan!
We took a trip up to discover a magical town wrapped in everything Christmas. Never seen anything quite like it - miles of decorated, twinkling landscape. As well, the Take That Mainstage! crew (Cass & I) ended up in a promo video for the Rivershop stores!

Excellent MDEV25 article (and we are namedropped :)
"Alongside Skijoring, MDEVโs indie showcase was packed with inventive indie games like the roguelite, dice-based platformer Dice Tower, the Super Mario Maker and Zelda crossover Super Dungeon Designer, and the hybrid time management/rhythm game/rockstar simulator Take That Mainstage!" https://tonemadison.com/articles/amid-industry-tumult-2025-mdev-captured-madison-as-impending-game-development-hotspot/

#MDev25!
#MDEV25 was amazing! There are few words to describe the unbelievable sense of community, support & creativity to be found at this gathering of souls in Madison, Wisconsin. I can't imagine the amount of effort that went into putting this event on, but a few names we have to thank are Ben Kvalo, Jasmine Sanghani, Chris Klimecky, Tim Gerritsen, Patrick Jesseman and the Alkemists, Git Gud Lounge, and all the Wisconsin Games Alliance volunteers. I apologize for those I am missing
