Happy Easter! 🦋✨ Did you think we forgot about our #ToTheWayside update? Of course we haven't! 😁 Life gets in the way, but our projects are still in the works. Thank you all for your patience! While you wait, why not join Imani in taking a break with this piece by @cilliayori.bsky.social? 💐

Imani is holding bunny-shaped dandelions. More surround her, their seeds scattering as butterflies flutter by. Spring is in the air!

Happy Valentine's Day! 🌹 Our next protagonist, much like today's holiday, is filled to the brim with love and desire... and it may just be the end of him. 💘 Between beauty and the beast is the rose. In #BeautysPlaything, that rose's name is Gabriel. #gamedev #vndev

Gabriel, Beauty's Plaything's protagonist, holds a rose up to his face. His eyes are closed and his head is adorned in a crown of flowers. This depiction of him was created by the artist Eekii.

2026 is here! Are you ready for the new year? 😳 Our resolution this time is short and sweet: we have a new release schedule and we're sticking to it! Expect to meet Gabriel and reunite with Elm in the coming months, but for now, blue_midnight03 shares this glimpse of our mascot's latest design! ✨

Fists bunched up and an expression of awe on their face, Sparky looks to the fireworks with stars in their eyes. Their headband reads "Happy New Years," which indicates this is a celebration of the arrival of 2026.

Our #2025VGenTimelapse is in! 🎉 Thank you to all the logo and holiday artists that worked with us this year! You were all amazing... and we can't wait to support more of you in 2026! 💖

A summary of Sparkling Horizon Studios' statistics as a VGen client in 2025. The studio had 6 confirmed #VGenComms, 6 requests sent, 5 reviews given, 2 following, and received the Patron of the Arts badge. These numbers were totaled before the upcoming New Year's art was ordered and before a review was sent in for hawaristudio's winter holiday art. You can see the festive piece of Evren shown as the latest 2025 commission in the bottom right, while the first commission ordered this year, a Valentine's piece of Elm made by 08m, is in the bottom left.

Happy Holidays! 🎁 Thanks to Hawari, our gift to you this season is... the reveal of Evren! Evren is a love interest in our next game, #BeautysPlaything! She's a TOTALLY normal florist who can TOTALLY tend to her garden without needing the protection of her sun hat... She just likes wearing it. 😌

Evren, wearing a big floppy hat adorned with flowers, holds a gift with a smile. Their dirty blonde hair cascades over their shoulders. They look at the viewer with reddish brown eyes. Floating ribbons and presents surround them. There are stars and cypress trees in the background.

Happy Halloween! 😆 Are you out getting your tricks and treats in? Have a lollipop in honor of our resident swamp witch! 🍭 It'll be some time before you see them again, but thanks to @vltzld.bsky.social, they're here for a little visit! 🦇

Happy Easter! 🥚✨ Our beloved little hatchling is almost ready for their return! As of this month, we're halfway through development for the #ToTheWayside update. Keep an eye out for our voice actor announcements in the near future, and until then, enjoy this cute art from @rinnyboo.bsky.social! 😁

Elm, in their human form, is sitting in a cracked-open Easter egg. The color palette of the egg takes inspiration from their original form. The background is a pastel purple with a pattern of semi-transparent circles to match the spotted egg.

Happy Valentine's Day! 💖 Prepare to open your heart up to Elm once more in our upcoming #ToTheWayside update! This latest version will bring you voice acting, new artwork, and other more subtle changes. While you wait, here's a piece from @c-08m.bsky.social for you to enjoy this holiday! 😍

Elm, To The Wayside's protagonist, is all flustered and blushing as they hand you a letter marked with a heart. To the left of them is a speech bubble with a heart in it, indicating that this is a profession of affection. The background is a pink gradient with a pattern of little white hearts.

Cheers to the new year! In 2025, our goals are to create a bigger space for our community, add a new title to our lineup, and continue building on our existing games. As a gift, Sparky can now join #PocketCamp players in Whistle Pass by using this QR code to add them to your #CamperCards! Enjoy!

An Animal Crossing version of Sparky stands next to Apollo, an eagle villager. They are dressed in matching outfits: the dark snow-flurry suit, fireworks headband, and floating snow crystals behind them. The bottom of the card says, "Sparky, Lv. 40."
