Moonstone Island News

The countdown begins, Alchemists!

We figured that it was time to introduce you to our team – the hard-working peeps who've been making all of this happen.

We're actually a really small team – just 3 core developers and a writer, plus a few artists who contribute their time when they can to make sprites, environments, and all kinds of gorgeous stuff that we get to put in the game.

That core team consists of:



Sandy is our lead developer! Moonstone Island is his baby, and he's in charge of designing the game, as well as wrangling all the art, design, story, characters, Spirits, and basically everything!



Stan is our programmer, who makes sure that Moonstone Island actually works. Like the choreographer of a ballet who works entirely behind the scenes, we couldn't have made Moonstone without Stan!



Cocefi is our lead artist! His stunning pixel art style set the tone for the way Moonstone Island looks today – it used to look VERY different. Now it's super pretty, largely thanks to Cocefi's beautiful work!



...and me, of course! I'm the writer and the Community Manager. I do all the words. Like this one. And this one! And theeeese.

If you want to know how to support our game and our teeny tiny team, just wishlist the game on Steam, buy it when it comes out, and you can even purchase our Collector's Edition DLC for a few extra bucks!

Thanks for all your support so far, too – we love you all very much.

Hello, Alchemists!

Temples! They're the bits on the side of your face that you rub in frustration when someone tells you that they can't take the bins out because they hurt their wrists playing 6 hours of Fortnite. Grrrr.

Wait... no. Wrong temples. Today we're talking about Temples-with-a-capital-T, in the game Moonstone Island! These structures are NOT on the side of your face – they're hidden throughout the 100+ floating islands that surround Moonstone Island itself, and they're extremely important.

While adventuring, you may come across plenty of dungeons, each of which has treasures, traps, secrets, monsters, and a final boss, and Temples are very similar. But unlike dungeons, which are made up of lots of different pre-made rooms chosen at random, Temples are custom-built and unique. There are four of them in the world – one for each season – and each one contains a Magic Seal.

I won't tell you what those seals do... but they're very important.

Our Temples are all gigantic and very beautiful, but they're also a little hard to find. The Spring Temple will probably be your first one because it's veeeery close to the starting island...so you'll probably get to meet the Big Boss of the Spring Temple first. Again, I'm not tellin' ya nothin', but I'll give you a hint: Prepare for Earth-types!

Our Temples are really exciting, cool, gorgeous, and maybe even challenging! Challenging enough to start rubbing your face temples? Maybe...

Howdy Alchemists and Friends!

We're taking a little detour today from our normal cozy content to give a little shout-out to a fellow Raw-Fury-family game, Friends vs Friends!

They are having a FREE weekend on Steam, and while they are a chaotic 1v1 and 2v2 shooter, we have something in common - we both use cards in our battles! Not only that, but our friends at Sunshine Animation did both of our trailers!

Since we're just under a week away from launch *GULP!*, you could always give Friends vs. Friends a try while you're waiting for Moonstone Island to go live
Friends vs Friends]

We'll be coming at you, right here on Steam, all week long until launch. Have any burning questions you need an answer for? Drop them in our Steam Forum or join our Discord to hear back from the devs!

Alchemists!

Only 9 days until launch but we wanted to give you all a peak into the card art we've been implementing! These are only a small section of what is coming but look. LOOK!



Aren't they adorable?? We've been working on small touches like this so we can put out the best game when we launch on the 20th
