Hi everyone!

It's officially been one full year since the release of Little Goody Two Shoes on October 31st, 2023! We'll be sharing a little more about its production throughout this following post — both what made it into the final version we all know today, but also what didn't stick! Before we get into it, we'd like to take the chance to thank you for playing Little Goody Two Shoes and supporting AstralShift in our first commercial release. Game development has been an exciting, but challenging road and we can't wait to bring you more of the best we can produce in the future! 💖 ──────────────────────────────•~❉᯽❉~•────────────────────────────── Originally thought up as a prequel to Pocket Mirror Classic (2016), Little Goody Two Shoes was first announced in that very same year. It's been a long time since then and many things have changed — from the overall scope and art style, to the narrative and design — this title has been growing and changing since the first day it was first devised! Below is one of the very first promotional images we created for it back in 2016 and as you can see, the art style took quite the turn! This is naturally due to our Creative Director, Kirarin's, personal artistic journey which is reflected in AstralShift's releases. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/33eba222276cb8f399fe8ca83ecb37be1f5dc1ba.jpg However, as we became more ambitious with this title, and as our creative direction grew, so did its scope. Initially, Little Goody Two Shoes was going to be a simple and straightforward RPG Maker game with a playtime duration of around 45 minutes — clearly that didn't happen! We soon realized we needed a new engine to tackle our vision and decided to go with Unity which allowed us to not only make a much more ambitious game, but use the extent of our creativity. One of the things Unity allowed us to do was work with bigger, traditionally painted backgrounds and assets which allowed us to give everything a more organic and fairy-tale look! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/96f9db01ddc5baccdba6e38110ab63233c4f68cb.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/7273dff9cb179c3584281987152acaf9f6af5e2f.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/7cc544e30d9bd2e636fe3b0a75836941892b2fc7.gif All of these lovely backgrounds were created by our Lead Environmental artist's, Hika, who uses a ton of mixed media techniques to give everything the final look we all know and love! Unity also allowed us to get much more ambitious with the UI and its design — do you recognise these? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/c673186ca4ee373833f8683f9b5c175a74f619ea.png However, Unity didn't only allow us to spread our creative wings when it comes to the visuals of Little Goody Two Shoes, but also its gameplay. Before we had to cut down on content due to time constraints, Little Goody Two Shoes was meant to have a total of six different woodland areas including the ones featured in the game. Each one of these would have their own associated animal, their own theme and puzzles, and would allow us to flesh out more of Elise's character development and themes throughout the week! The game's romantic interests, Rozenmarine, Freya and Lebkuchen, would also have their very own themed woodland area on Saturday with thematic puzzles and character interactions — the idea was to survive your journey through each of the girls' psyche in order to make the final offering! While these ideas never left the drawing board, other ambitions were scrapped mid-production such as more mini-games and even riddles like the one below! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/4e417d351a54f885f34348d01e003deccd852c38.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/5ce072949cc092edf75f98e926ad76792d163e8b.png These would be available alongside the already existing mini-games, have their very own companion illustrations and only be available once throughout the entirety of the game! This one below would be a simple riddle about transporting chicks from one coop to another whilst protecting them from village cats — very similar to the famous River Crossing Puzzle! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/aa923e635f4c268d5738b2446ab05d6662972133.png While the idea was to bring more diversity to the kinds of chores available to Elise, we eventually scrapped it and focused more on developing as many mini-games as we could! Sadly, only 4 of them ever made the cut, but there were a ton of other ideas such as Squash the Roach and Sweep, Sweep, Sweep! Sweep, Sweep, Sweep specifically would have you compete against Freya to clean as many of the Inn's rooms as possible within a certain time limit! It wasn't all content, however, as there were also whole mechanics we decided to scrap — some even at the last minute, as was the case with Reputation which you'd have to juggle alongside Supicion! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/937ba7e07924d5f70e41062011b4e6765953681d.png As complete and extensive as Little Goody Two Shoes' Original Soundtrack is, there are still two songs that could never be brought to life — those being Freya's and Lebkuchen's insert songs. Sadly, we couldn't get started on those due to time and budgeting constraints, but would've loved to have them included in the game alongside Elise's and Rozenmarine's! Something that also underwent quite a few changes was the game's title screen. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/848934ea54876876178a13469372b5b15556afef.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/a80efce2b65b88b4142208d8afd6c5fdbd9aeb16.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/c0fc69eda92fbde1a8ded73cdb117460e0a2b63c.png Initially meant to be the top illustration, we ultimately decided to go for the current one after some ideas and re-concepting! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/e5ace93676377d2078285df4bc33fcf1ed7411ed.png The same didn't happen for the girls' redesigns, however — these were an immediate success! Some other assets simply could not be added to the game because they either came in too late, or we simply ran out of time to add more stuff such as these illustrations of each of the girls. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/1f78eec5e749d3e14bbcfafe8042de29422c0a4d.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/b858df7bc690b42b7585c9f1d0ce7e74dfead2e3.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/5f9de55311d24d1b3de2fe7e30a25d9c8f941eec.png Despite everything that had to be cut from the game's production, we're still very happy and proud of the final product, but there was always something more scratching at the back of our minds... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/09d57f1a81c8b5e4bae7650c40423ae56f8fb5f5.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/4b2334ea0482cd98f3b56f799c046ddba7080b4d.png That's right — we planned out a full fledged DLC for Little Goody Two Shoes with its own full storyline, cast of characters and ending. It would take place around 60 years before the events of Little Goody Two Shoes and follow the story of Alpenrose, Sanni and Valerie, three Kieferberg girls who went missing under mysterious circumstances. But there's one more character added to the mix — can you guess who this is? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/a041b6e9018202549e608ecd5b13172a899699aa.png Thank you so much for reading this far! We hope this was a fun read and that you enjoyed getting to know more about Little Goody Two Shoes' production and some of the cut content we couldn't disclose until now! Little Goody Two Shoes is very special to everyone at AstralShift and we're not only proud of our first commercial title, but very happy about all of the love, support and engagement it's gotten throughout this past year. We love interacting with our community and much of what we do is motivated by you guys! We hope our future titles will resonate just as deeply with everyone and will be doing our best to bring forth our absolute best moving forward as well! See you soon!❤️‍🔥 PS: Welma doesn't have a full body illustration, unless? 👀

Hi, everyone!

A new hotfix has been implemented into Little Goody Two Shoes Ver. 1.1.2 to circumvent a display issue that's been affecting some users. The screen would turn completely black after the Opening Cutscene, which made the game unresponsive and unplayable. This fix guarantees it won't happen again. We apologize for the inconvenience to everyone who's been affected by this issue and would like to thank everyone for not only reaching out to AstralShift and reporting it, but also for helping us get to the root of the problem and finding a solution for it. Thank you so much for your support! 💖

Hi, everyone!

Wondering what makes Little Goody Two Shoes such a singular experience? Because it's such a narrative-driven game, many of our decisions when it comes to game design were made based on its story beats and overall progression. Little Goody Two Shoes’ main goal is simple – work during the day and assure your survival through the night in order to progress through the story. Thus, all of its gameplay elements end up relying on this simple night-and-day cycle to give the game its pacing and sense of progression. It’s during the day that Elise visits Kieferberg and completes her Chores to make a living. Because so much of your time is spent working, we took this concept of chores (chopping wood, gathering eggs, etc.) and embodied them in the form of quick mini-games which make Elise’s tasks fun to play and engaging. This conclusion wasn’t reached right away and took a lot of back and forth! One of the things we thought of incorporating as a gamification of Elise's daily chores were riddles – think Professor Layton's math based puzzles, for example! Below is an illustration meant for one of said riddles in which Elise would have to figure out which buckets (from a selection of four and each with distinctive characteristics) she would have to use in order to make it to the well and back in only one trip. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/5f389451b2bae745ef23da5eb12ad7240ebacfd4.jpg Ultimately, we found that having to solve riddles every day wasn’t as engaging as the mini-games, so we decided to focus on making more of them to fill out Elise’s daily schedule. The Romantic Dates you go on with your chosen love interest – Rozenmarine, Freya or Lebkuchen – are also only available during the day and were designed to make you, the player, as attached to them as possible! It’s during the night that the other gameplay elements of Little Goody Two Shoes get to shine, those being the survival exploration of the Woodlands and the puzzle solving mechanics. Because it’s a horror game, we felt it would be interesting to forgo the inclusion of a combat system and strip the player of any mechanisms of defense usually found in other titles in the genre. While the main reason for this decision was to make the player feel vulnerable in the face of danger, we also meant it as a nod to our previous title, Pocket Mirror, and all the RPG Maker Horror games which came before it and inspired us to become game developers in the first place. Many of such titles rely on puzzle solving and environment exploration to immerse the player in their unique worlds, which is what we aimed to achieve with Little Goody Two Shoes! We hope some of these will shed some light onto why Little Goody Two Shoes is the way that it is and if you have any more questions regarding the game’s production feel free to let us know! Thank you so much for reading this far and for all of your support! 💖

Hi, everyone!

Today we're sharing some of the inspirations and thought process behind Little Goody Two Shoes' overall environmental design and how these choices work together to bring it to life! The environments of Little Goody Two Shoes, conceptualised and created by Lead Environment Artist Hika (Pedro Dias), play a major role in setting the game's atmosphere — from the various woodland environments to the layout of Kieferberg village, which is the focus of this post. A prolific painter who specialises in the use of poster paint, Hika employed all his knowledge and expertise of the traditional painting medium to create this colourful drawing inspiration from masters such as Kazuo Oga and Shichiro Kobayashi, known for their iconic work under Studio Ghibli. The quaint town of Kieferberg, a fictional village set deep in the mountains of pre-industrial Germany, is peppered with a great care for environmental storytelling. By strolling through its streets, the player will naturally come to understand the customs and lifestyle of Kieferberg’s citizens and, consequently, relate a little bit more closely to Elise's state of mind and plight. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/ebbbb29ac2c4a0793180aa73881f0202b1727b24.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/96f9db01ddc5baccdba6e38110ab63233c4f68cb.jpg Certain elements such as the vast number of abandoned houses and mostly empty streets encapsulates her desire to move out and escape the dying village despite its beauty. The outskirts that surround it were no less considered. Much more serene than the busier Kieferberg town, these sprawling scenes serve as moments of pleasant quietude after a long day of working, socialising, and avoiding suspicion. The emotional disconnection between Elise from her fellow villagers is expressed not just in words, but in the distance that separates her house from the town square. By physically traversing this distance, players can come to better understand Elise’s feeling of isolation, and why she feels like she’s never truly belonged. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/0975c0b2f9e3e1921697b3e1c4911c5b6a6ab18a.jpg All of these aspects contribute to the game's overall storytelling and to enveloping the player in its narrative, characters and progression in a way that's more involved and even personal! We hope this sneak peek into the thought process and ambitions for this aspect of Little Goody Two Shoes' development was interesting! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/f2c35b3de0ed4206c9462deebe8b89096238a058.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44619699/2c86eefdec3de05469a334f3c699cbfec36406a7.png Thank you so much for reading and joining us on this journey through the process behind Little Goody Two Shoes' background artwork! Follow our Lead Environmental artist, Hika, on Twitter/X for more of his amazing backgrounds! We would love for you to share what storytelling elements resonate most with you! Is background art something you usually appreciate in games? Let us know!

Hi, everyone!

The first big Update for Little Goody Two Shoes is finally here with fixes, patches and improvements based on your feedback and reports. For this new Version 1.1.2 of Little Goody Two Shoes, we've addressed the following:

1. General

- Improved visibility for the Tender Flesh quest chain by reducing the number of quests and adjusting NPC placement. - Fixed an issue with Freya’s eye animation being inverted on several facial expressions. - Changed “Demon” to “Ozzy” in the credits sections (short horizontal scroll and title screen menu). - Added sound effects to accompany navigation on the settings menu, which was previously silent. - Fixed an issue where framerate influenced the speed of Kiss the Rat, making the minigame exploitable. Adjusted Kiss the Rat’s score intervals to match with the new system. - Players are now able to purchase matches from the Bakery Shop. - Populated the world map with more recovery and sellable items for players to find. - Populate the Woodlands sections with sanity recovery items (Grape Juice) to offset some of the loss received from interacting with Golden Maidens. - Players are now able to purchase Bread from the Inn Shop on the day of St. Walpurga’s Festival. - Improved formatting of the lyrics on Elise and Rozenmarine’s character cinematics (Ruby Slippers Mirage, Wild and Wandering Thistle). - Expanded the area of interaction with Elise’s window. This should make the windows’ flavour text much easier to interact with, and improve the feeling of the controls. - Changed the wording of Muffy’s request from ‘Soup’ to ‘Hearty Soup’ on Thursday. - Fixed an issue where Muffy’s bribe opened directly on an item choice by default, causing players to accidentally give Muffy an incorrect item. Instead, Muffy’s bribe now defaults to the item menu itself, allowing players to navigate to the desired item. - Add ‘Skippable Cutscenes’ option to the Settings menu. This option enables skip for all cutscenes and dialogues, including those that are set to be unskippable by default. - Apple Strudel is now available to purchase from the Inn Shop starting on Thursday. Previously it was only available on Friday. - Remove the ‘Skip Cutscene’ text that is always visible during the Granny Holle intro cinematic. - Fixed FPS drop experienced on the title screen’s credits list. - Fixed an issue where Rozenmarine would show up in two different maps at the same time (if her Love - Event is available) during Tuesday Morning. - Fixed an issue where status HUD effects (including sound effects) overlapped with the Ending Cards. - Fixed an issue where status HUD effects (including sound effects) overlapped with the Demon’s Parade sequences. - Fixed text formatting issues found in the final rolling credits sequence. - Fixed a reported issue where the game softlocks if the player tries to interact with the Golden Maiden in the Church Hall from behind the center table on Thursday Evening. - Fixed an issue where doing the Kiss the Rat minigame in the Village Inn map on Wednesday Afternoon would lock Elise behind two NPCs after spawning back at Dusk. - Lowered intensity of sanity HUD effects. - Fixed an issue where the food consumption was not being displayed properly before interacting with Rozenmarine/Freya/Lebkuchen on Saint Walpurga’s Festival. - Adjusted the Steam backend options in order to fix an issue where Steam Cloud Saves got overwritten or deleted. - Goals related to the caves’ side quest are no longer permanently displayed in the quest log, and will only appear during periods of availability. - Added a permanent matchbox icon to the status HUD screen, which includes a total match count as well as the controls to turn on Elise’s lantern (when available). - Added lights to Elise’s house when seen from the front yard on Sunday Evening. - Fixed an issue where the player could get locked out of the Village Well’s Cursed Memory (#3) by picking up Diary Entry #4 and leaving the area without completing the candle puzzle.

2. Sunday Woodland Specific Fixes

- Fixed an issue where a goal titled ‘Escape the room’ is triggered by finding the key hidden in the bookshelf. This goal should trigger only after discovering all 4 keys, regardless of the order in which they are found. - Disabled Elise’s lantern turning on during the cutscene before entering the candles room. - Fixed an issue where getting hit by a candle enemy while consulting the chest riddle would cause the player to miss out on the puzzle hint completely.

3. Monday Woodland Specific Fixes

- Many players reported difficulty understanding the base mechanics of the flesh-eating moth puzzles. In an effort to minimize frustration and to improve the experience of the player, we’ve made the following changes: - Fixed an issue where the wrong text lines were being issued before and after the beacons were lit. Interacting with the beacons should now make it more evident to the player that these they’ll need to be lit by making use of Elise’s lantern. - Changed the colour/tint of the stationary decorative swarms of moths to distinguish them from the moths which the player is able to move. - Elise will now comment that the moths are drawn to Light first, and to Flesh second. She will also recommend turning off her lantern to drop off the moths securely on the carcasses.

4. Tuesday & Wednesday Woodland Specific Fixes

- A large number of players reported difficulty understanding the base mechanics of the bird trees. In an effort to minimize frustration and to improve the experience of the player, we’ve made the following changes: - Safe trees are now permanently safe. The player should be able to identify the safe path more easily by moving between the trees which do not shake, and can take as long as they need. - Elise will comment on the nature of the puzzle before entering the tree area. - Adjusted the hitbox around spiky obstacles to reduce chances of Elise and Apfel getting clipped. - Fixed an issue where the visual and sound effects of the save spot stay turned on throughout a story cutscene in the Crossroads after escaping the Crow Woods with Apfel. - For the final stretch of Wednesday’s Woods, some players have reported being confused about what to do and dying multiple times without understanding why. To help with this issue, Elise will now make a comment about needing to run before the sequence begins. - Fixed an issue where the Golden Crow’s name tag was not being displayed with the correct glyphs, and would appear as ‘Murim’ instead. - Fixed an issue where Elise would get stuck in the background layer of the map after dying during the pitfalls puzzle sequence on Wednesday’s Woods.

5. Thursday & Friday Woodland Specific Fixes

- Fixed an issue on the final puzzle map (Moon Phases puzzle) where Elise’s portrait would glitch, and two portraits would appear simultaneously. - It is now properly communicated to the player that the second soul found during the escort mission will return to her original spawn point if Elise leaves her alone for too long. - Fixed a commonly reported issue where if the player lost sight of the second soul during the escort mission, returned to it and spoke to it once again, an empty dialogue box would be displayed and the game would softlock.

6. Saturday #2 Woodland Specific Fixes

- Fixed an issue where the chase soundtrack wasn’t playing during the shuffling door sequences, and the normal version would playing instead. - Removed the hunger penalty from the ‘New Day’ time passage after Ozzy’s banquet.

7. Other Fixes

- Settings could not be reset to their default values. - Game Over screen wasn't triggered when Elise takes damage at the same time as Apfel's fall - Exclamation mark disappeared from balloon over Guido after a short while when Windmill area is entered - Weeping Angels were able to pass into the safe zone and get stuck - The golden bird's claw UI icon appeared with the 'Blue Interrogation' icon instead of the 'Magnifying Glass' icon - Backing out of the map while zooming out and then re-entering caused the event icons to become enlarged - Opening the Credits page animation lacked SFX - UI balloon wasn't displayed on top of Elise's Character Model - There was no background music in Village Entrance - Muffy's character became invisible during the bribe sequence in Back Alleys - Elise could get stuck under fallen map parts in multiple points - Elise called the kids in Village Square "Muffy" - The 'Interact' icon appeared instead of the 'Use Item' icon when approaching the gate - Windmill Key didn't work when Elise stands slightly to the right of the Windmill door - Jochen and Ludwig character models were duplicated near the Village Entrance and in the Village Square - Elise dying in Area-4 Pitfalls removed collision from most of the objects - Putting a Mosaic Slab onto its place would cause the Scarecrows to cease spawning - The 'Interact' icon appeared instead of the 'Use Item' icon when approaching the door

8. Pending Issues

- Reported issue where Elise’s running animation will stutter, flickering between her running and standing sprites. - Reported issue where the application is stuck on a black screen upon opening the game on Steam. - Reported issue where the ‘Wild and Wandering Thistle’ cinematic skips automatically after 15 seconds. - Reported issue where sprint is not working on keyboard/PC. - Reported issue where leaving the game in an idle state while having a textbox open inside a location that drains sanity (such as the Old Windmill) results in sanity continuing to deplete. This triggers a game over while the textbox remains open. - Reported issue where the hunger HUD overlay effect doesn’t disappear even after topping up Elise’s food bar.
