I'm currently writing the script of the first episode of our visual novel/point and click adventure "Across Maskros" and I just finished a paragraph on the planet of Eskolea, remembering the illustrations I drew for #piecesI two years ago.

(Maro's pizzeria will be visited by two Eskolean guests, Cassie and Brix, who have freshly moved to Emoh, CobeeDot (the location our game is set in). It's really nice to have some visuals from the previous game. ^_^)

#piecesI will get a steam release and when that's finished, we'll get back to the visual novel mentioned above and keep you posted on its development here. we'll also gradually show you more facts and characters from the maskros nebula and document the development process in general.

well, that was far too optimistic of us. we had worked on the ui design for months and had come up with more and more features, including a mini game (which is already playable). we also came up with other mini-game ideas. but we didn't want to overload the visual novel with mini games either. one of these mini games is the puzzle game #piecesI that you are now familiar with. maybe a 'pieces II' will follow - who knows! it was important to us to finally introduce you to the maskros nebula.

#piecesI gives you a little insight into this universe and its inhabitants. we puzzle a pizzeria on cobeedot, a teenager on nou-raex and a post-apocalyptic-looking city on a mysteriously remote planet.

the second point & click mentioned was also a game that was too extensive. the ludum dare gamejam was announced in 2022 and we thought we could perhaps "quickly" develop a visual novel that we could submit there. a visual novel set in maskros nebula, of course.

on the occasion of our release yesterday, we want to give you a little insight into the development process of #piecesI 🪐

back in 2018, we (@holo_memory and @nursey) had the idea of creating a point & click and there were already first drafts. but we quickly realized that it would be too big a first game project and had the idea for another point & click in parallel.
