Update 3/12/22
Morning, everyone! This is going to be, and not be, a doozy of an update. It will be because it's the culmination of several narrative restarts, and won't be because I'll spare you the sputters I've worked through to get here. You've played the Ren'Py demo and want to know wh...
Aria Ren'Py Build (2021 Version)
Hey, everyone! Happy 2am, hope you're all doing well; I'm looking forward to sleeping after this! Anyway, I've cleaned up the Aria Ren'Py demo and wanted to show you all part of what we worked on throughout the last year (and why we ultimately decided to try again in Unity). If ya...
Update 2/13/21
Yeah, next update less than a week later! I'm so glad I can do this, I'd felt awful about how long I'd left you guys in the dark. Hopefully with this bit of news things can continue smoothly, let's see what's up!At a glance:* Forks update preview release, will release publicly on...
Monday Morning Quickie
Hey, everyone! It's been a week and I wanted to give everyone an update. I'd estimate I'm about 80% of the way finished polishing the next Forks update, which means I'm a little behind schedule (what else is new -_-). Depending on how much free time I get this week, I should have it ...
Update 1/31/21
Hi, everyone! Wanted to post this on the weekend, but as it's 3:10am Monday it looks like I may've missed it. Hopefully most of you are still sleeping!Life-wise, I was able to go back into the office on the 24th after being out more or less since December 17th due to multiple Covid work scar...
2021 Year in Review
This may be a long one, so I'll put a dandy synopsis at the end with the takeaways. Look for the line of ***************** at the bottom!Hey, all! With the New Year just beginning, I wanted to take some time to reflect on what we at Team Spoon have accomplished over the past 12 months. The baby&...
Introducing May!
Hope you all have a nice weekend ahead, I know I will because I've just pushed out the last character intro for the upcoming demo! While Aria features several characters not yet introduced, May should close out the cast for now. Let's get to it!************************Accredited history begi...
Introducing Nahoko!
My son's taking up nearly all of my time now that he's getting more aware of his world, but I've got another character for everyone! Only one more to go before the new and improved demo roster is complete!******************The human body is a hardy engine, flexible in function and adapti...
Introducing Zoe!
Been a while since we've had one of these, but a bigger demo means more characters, and here's another one!*******************Sonda's Nyl's protected status under the Concert of Magic and extreme remoteness have made it a haven for the unconventional. Those whose abilities, research,...
Little 10/29/21
Hey, a new Little! It's been a while! Older baby + office time means I can finally juggle Aria and Forks with some regularity, so I hope to have more of these soon! This is a scene that was never planned to be in the first demo, but more dev time's made space for more content.Also, expect a ...
Update 10/23
Aha! It may be 4:15am in my timezone, but it's still Friday somewhere! If you've been wondering what the heck Toro's been doing all this time: Behold! Well, behold a piece of it at least!We've always billed Aria as having an extensive cast of characters, and I hope this gives a bette...
Quickie 10/22/2021
Hey, everyone! I just finished a Forks update on WG, and now it's time to post an Aria one! I'd been wanting to make the next update be the demo release, so much so that I've continuously delayed posting here in hopes I could finish it in a reasonable time. Unfortunately, so much time en...
Update 9/4
Hey hey, that was better than keeping you all in the dark for a month! Thanks to having my mom able to help us watch the baby, I've finally been able to start working half-days at the office. It's already done wonders for my productivity, as if I've been in hibernation since starting WFH...
Update 8/24
Hey, everyone! I have returned, and this time with pictures! Let's run through the past month's efforts!To first address the elephant in the room: I went a month without updates and that's absolutely my fault. The new baby is a ton of work (he's 2 months old Sept. 1!) and his constan...
Little (8/24)
Hey, everyone! It's 2:45 am and I need to bed, but expect a longer update (with more pictures!) tomorrow. I've been reverse-engineering some of our programmer's custom code (in this case, the code that tells the game which scenes/locations are available on the world map at any given time...
Little 7/23/21
Hey, everyone! Baby brain's starting to improve a bit, it's been a tremendous help having others around to watch him too. Gives me time to finally get some work done, which I'll show bits of here!First up: I've been adding a lot more dialogue to the opening scenes. Originally I wante...
Update 7/17/21
Hey, everyone! Posted a Little last time, figured I should post a freebie today and let everyone know what's going on!Last time I'd posted, I'd just gotten home from the hospital, and the sleepless nights of parenthood have continued to make the days run together. Today was my first day ...
Little 7/4
Holy crap, happy 4th! I've been in the hospital with the wife since Tuesday, and today we've finally left post partum with our new son. I'm suddenly a parent, and I'm already feeling that sweet sleep deprivation! Now EVERY day gets to be like pulling an all-nighter to cram for a test...
Update 6/21/21
21/21, yay! You only get twelve days of that this year, and one of them falls on an Aria update!Truth be told, I'd planned to have more ready today, but I'd failed to account for an impromptu vacation by Toro, who's currently out having a lot of fun and will be back later this week. That...
Another little (6/16/21)
I think I'll make these "littles" more common as I go along. They won't be anything major, just quick peeks for patrons between the public updates. Little more private, little more casual. I won't include the update banner, and may even include spoilers in future ones; these can ...
Just a small update (6/15/21)
Hey, everyone! First of all, I want to say THANK YOU~! to all the new patrons, it's great to have you all here! It's a big moment, because we're about where we were when I announced that Forks was taking its break. I was really scared of disappointing people, so it's a relief to see ...
Update 6/1
Hey, everyone! Happy June!Good lord, is it really June already? I'd ask myself the same questions when we were deep in Forks dev, so I guess something must be going right! Slow and steady, but with progress to show you!Biggest part of the project for the moment is the absolute mountain of assets...
Utopian Girl
This image tripped the suggestive content filter, so I'm uploading her separately in a patron-only update :p
Update 5/15
Hey, everyone! My wife and I are in a mad scramble to prep our place for our first child, but you better believe I've got update for you!Toro's been hard at work sketching more post-demo characters, e's waiting in the wings for more post demo content, and I'm wrangling the rest of th...
Introducing Fei!
Toroboro hasn't let up! We've got another post-demo character here for you: Fei!Fei was born in the Kingdom of Lizhou, the last great power to rival the Empire. Its claim was short-lived, as within her first year her Queen was forced to sign away her country to little more than a trading hub...
Update 4/28
Hey, everyone! Got some new info for you all for this week, I'll try something new and categorize it:Writing: The intro demo is very nearly done, I suspect it'll only be a few more sessions until I can let is rest. Like with Forks, I always begin with an outline of events, then let the chara...
Update 4/19

Update 3/29/21
