We've heard from Neo Seattle's fans—you wanted to know everyone's heights, and we delivered! 📏✨
Any major surprises? (And yes, we are also shocked Citrine can dance in those platforms, girl is majorly talented!) 🦋🔮
Yes, our girl has to represent! 💗💜💙‼️
That's right, it's Wishbright/Rori's bedroom! 💖 Lots of fun details in this one including:
🤠Her (small and respectful) shrine to Orion
✨Several of her miniatures - Rori likes to build them when she isn't saving the city!
🐇Dumpling's rabbit retreat
And a few other secrets scattered around!
We have a new background incoming and it's a big one ‼️ 👀 ‼️
Any guesses about what this charming, cozy, and very pink location might be?? 🩷 🏢
☄️✨NEW Devlog just dropped! ✨☄️
Updates about the newest demo of Starbright Agency, sneak peeks at our phone feature, Orion's Intro CG, and more!

A traditional depiction of a love letter with text saying "Happy Valent's Day!" from "Your Secret Admirer." Around the letter are chibis of our characters from Starbright Agency - a colorful collection of heroes and one villian. There is a red and pink grid background and lots of sparkles. And for those of you wondering, personally I hope this letter is from Eclipse...feels like she would write the best notes!
Happy Valentine's Day from the Starbright Agency crew! Who are you hoping to receive a Valentine from? 💖💌
Happy Birthday to our beautiful Aquarius, Wishbright! ✨♒ I asked, and the Starlight Savior said she will be spending her birthday "eating spicy wings and partying with her bunny." Classic Wishbright! 🐇🍗
Storm may be learning how to be a proper scout, but he comes through in a pinch! 🌩️
(Also, as a bit of a behind-the-scenes, this is the first time we used our motion CG system in Starbright Agency! You'll be seeing a lot more of this in our upcoming demo release!) ✨💫🪐
What -- or who?? -- could Orion be winking at in this upcoming CG for Starbright Agency! 🤔❓Wrong answers only 🙈😅
"Whoops, I accidentally took a candid photo with three of the most eligible Scouts in Neo Seattle, and I look hot as hell in it, what should I do??"
- Wishbright, probably, for #screenshotsaturday ✨ 🌙
Get to know our social media queen and Neo Seattle pop sensation, Citrine!
Fun Fact: She loves cozy games and often streams her multiplayer farm in Moondrop Meadow on Astro 🪐💫
Time to send our resident cowboy some birthday wishes! 🍰🎈Orion's the Number One Scout in Neo Seattle, and number one in our hearts -- and he knows it too! 🤠💫🩷
🚨Rampant Capitalism Alert for this week's #screenshotsaturday🚨
Protecting lives or promoting your brand? Being a hero-for-hire gets complicated when your agency earns more from publicity over rescues.
A very happy birthday to our enigmatic Eclipse! Even villains should be allowed a piece of cake and some presents, right? 🎈🎁🍰
Orion's lasso is called The Hunter's Belt, so when his fans chant "Give us the belt!" this is absolutely, 100%, what they are talking about. Nothing else. 🪢 🐮 #screenshotsaturday
Citrine is one of the ✨ six routes✨ in Starbright Agency, and will be introduced in the next demo update!
She's here! The Crystal Butterfly herself, Citrine! 🦋 💎
Neo Seattle's favorite popstar and social media sensation, Citrine, is known for her hot tracks and hot takes. As one of the few non-combative scouts, she uses her power of Crystogenesis to create incredible performances 🎶 💃
Orion has a terrible knack for showing up when he's least wanted (Unless you dig the whole cowboy thing...🤔 ) #screenshotsaturday
Are you ready for the show? The CRYSTAL BUTTERFLY, Starbright Agency's sixth routed character, is about to make her shining debut. 🦋💎✨
About two and a half hours away from the Demo Dive, where we'll be streaming the demo for Starbright Agency, a romance visual novel by @thoughtbreadgames.bsky.social - which gives Dream Daddy meets Sailor Moon meets the Romantice Fake-Real Turn trope vibes. Come check it out! www.twitch.tv/ceebee514
That's all for now! ✨ We are grateful for your support so far, and can't wait to show you more over the next couple of months! 💫
ALSO: If you want early access to our builds and a first look at these updates, hop over to our Discord! We are a friendly crew!

💫 When can I expect this new demo? 💫
Currently we are targeting January 2026, only 3 months away! (Crazy how time works.) We will be sharing new art, progress updates, and more exciting goodies until then!
🖌️NEW Art For Current Demo🎨
In addition to new CGs and backgrounds for the new content, we are adding intro CGs for all our route characters. Check out the work in progress peek at some of that art below!
A prototype mockup of Wishbright's phone (aaah!) : a pink y2k esque device with a chat screen in it. Currently the player is receiving a late night DM from the menace, Orion Jackson and given a choice of how to reply.
📱 NEW Feature: Chat with your fellow Scouts📞
🗨️App: Chat💬
Receive and reply to texts from your favorite Scouts, the team, and other Neo Seattlelites. Will you accept Orion's late-night DMs or set up a secret rendezvous with Eclipse?
A prototype mockup of Wishbright's phone (aaah!) : a pink y2k esque device with a social media screen within it. There are a series of posts made by a variety of users.
📱 NEW Feature: Get Messy on Social Media!📞
The new demo of Starbright Agency will finally bring Wishbright's Phone into the game. We have two apps to share today:
🪐App: Astro🪐
Neo Seattle's favorite social media platform! Make posts on your profile and engage with other users' content!

🦋NEW Character Intro: The Crystal Butterfly Steals the Show! 🦋
The second half of the common route will finally introduce our sixth routed character. She's Neo Seattle's most beloved popstar and current tabloid scandal. The Crystal Butterfly's design will debut this weekend - stay tuned!
📖NEW Story Content: Fake Dating for Fame?📖
While our current demo is about a 1/3 of our common route, our next demo will put the entire route in your hands. Currently, we are clocking in at about 40k words or 2-4 hours of gameplay! This will also include new backgrounds and CGs!
