Hello again and happy Hanukkah, Magical Girls! Rachel here with an especially festive Lock and Key update!
Let’s get the big one out of the way first: the script is DONE. Edited, revised, edited again, revised again, expanded, revised, edited, finalized, DONE! It took a good long while, but we’re all very happy with what that original seed ultimately bloomed to become. Sherri, Kealey, Ruby, Nina, and all of their fellow Magical Girls will be going on quite the journey…and hopefully one with a happy destination.
And the script isn’t the only big victory of the month: esselfortium’s terrific OST has been finalized as well! I hope you’re all ready to get a track or two stuck in your head, because that’s sure as hell what happened to me. We’ve got 10 very unique tracks to suit every mood and make every scene even more impactful. Seriously, it’s so good.
As far as the art front goes, we’re almost done there! Sprites are good to go, as are a majority of the CGs with only a few ending/epilogue pieces left to finalize. Just a few more steps and we’ll have another check mark in the "good to go" pile!

With all that in place, scripting is ready to rock and roll. In fact, we’ve already begun. Want to see for yourself? Then I’ve got some great news for you, our dear Magical Patrons: our revamped demo is complete, and our demo access tier patrons and up get exclusive early access! When does that start?
Enjoy this early look at great things to come! And they’re coming very soon. As in "Q1 2025 Kickstarter" soon. 2025 isn’t just bringing the Kickstarter, either: we’re also planning for a full release in 2025 as well! It’s going to be the most Magical year ever!
Thank you so much for sticking with us for so long, and on behalf of the whole team, we hope you enjoy our demo. It’s our Hanukkah gift from our family to yours. Let’s make 2025 amazing!
With boundless love and Magical joy,
Rachel
