Important Update Regarding the Studio Coattails Patreon

Hey everyone, Syon here.It's been quite a while since I've posted here. Which is my bad, entirely. If you've been supporting us, I sincerely appreciate you more than you could know.With all that said (and on the off chance you don't already know), Studio Coattails has merged with Studio Elan. Or, at least, our visual novel division has. This was announced waaay back in October, but all the preparations are more or less in place now. All the details about this merger can be found here.So what does that mean for the Patreon? Well,...

MAJOR UPDATE: National Park Girls Episode 5

Hey everyone, Syon here!It’s been a long time coming, and I really appreciate your patience, so I’m very excited to be giving you all our first big National Park Girls episode 5 update in a long, long while!As you may or may not know, the writing for NPG 5 has been done for well over a year. I thought that would translate to a much quicker release time, since it was all drafted before the release of episode 4, but unfortunately we had some major roadblocks when it came to art. Satchel got extremely busy in this last year, and unfortunately ...

Olive Profile - Twofold

Sorry for posting this late, Caps. - Syon XOXOXXXHello again, welcome to my second development post for Twofold. I have a talking point lined up for today, but first I wanted to provide a quick progress report: as of last month, we've entirely finalized our script! Everything is locked down and we're 100% committing to it. It's a bit scary to say that after so long of things in flux, but it's a giant milestone! This unblocks a lot of other aspects of development, especially in the planning department, so the ball should really s...

August Wallpaper and PFP - CAPRIIIIIIIICE SHIIIIIIFTEN

Hey everyone, Syon here!Sorry for the extended absence. Things have been shaping up on our end and I've been so busy with all the different projects that the Patreon just kinda right past me. Whoopsie.Here are the wallpaper and pfp goodies as usual! This month it's of Caprice, from First Snow and the upcoming visual novel Twofold!What is she thinking about? The answer is nothing. Caprice doesn't think.Stay tuned for an NPG update that will feature some important news, updates, brand new art, and yes, a release date. The last year ha...

July Twofold Update from Caps

Hi there! This is my first monthly blog post talking about Twofold and it's development. Since we're starting out fresh here, I figured it'd be appropriate to talk about how Twofold compares and contrasts with First Snow, since that's an easily accessible point of reference for everyone (because it's free and you should download it if you haven't already! This post will be spoiler free, just in case.) So, I believe the first thing we outta go over is my role in Twofold compared to what I did in First Snow. In First Snow,...

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Twofold Joins the Studio Coattails Family!

Hey, everyone! .In a recent post here on Patreon, we alluded to us having a major announcement to drop this month. If you watch the recent Elan Con stream put on by our friends over at Studio Elan, then you might already have an idea…Several months ago, we partnered with Salty Salty Studios to release a voice acting patch for their free-to-play visual novel, First Snow! Well now, we're taking that working relationship one step further.Studio Coattails is proud to announce our involvement with First Snow's upcoming and long awaited seq...

National Park Girls Update - Bear With Us A Little Longer

Hey everyone, Syon here.Sorry for going so long without an update. It's been a very quiet couple of months.Rest assured, National Park Girls Episode 5 is still in development, so let me put any concerns to rest. Unfortunately, development is stalled at the moment. This is mostly due to the art situation. Satchely, in addition to being the artist on the project, has a fulltime job that occupies a lot of her time. This has prevented her from working on NPG as much as she had in the past. The good news is, at the end of May, Satchely will be l...

Transcript:"Howdy-O, Yellowstone here!"Just do me a solid and stick with me for this one, because I got a whole lotta questions and not a whole lotta answers.""Like, why are me, Zion, and Yosemite having these shared visions? And why are they rubbing off on Eve-O? She's human, right? Unlike us! We definitely AIN'T human, unless it's by some wacko technicality that I can't wrap my noggin around.""It just makes me wonder -- are we real? Is this real? Is anything real? Is this all a dream and...

May 2021 - National Park Girls Episode 4 Sneak Peek

Hey everyone, Syon here! Been a minute since we had an update for you, and honestly there's not much else to say except that Episode 4's production is coming along reasonably well. All the art is done (save for one minor variation to Yosemite's outfit) and I've been recording with the voice actors and choosing takes. You'll most likely see it released during the summer!In the meantime, we have an exclusive sneak peek of Episode 4 for you. It doesn't reveal toooo much, but it might give you an idea of what Eve and the gir...

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - The Great Patreon Reboot

Hey, everyone. Syon here.This isn't a developer diary, NPG update, or anything like that. This is (and get ready for this) a State of the Patreon blog post. Ominous, I know. But it's actually not all bad, so if you read through it, I think you'll find that this is a very reasonable update. Or rather, adjustment.We've been running the Studio Coattails Patreon for quite some time now, and we are very grateful for all the support and feedback we have gotten since we've launched. However, as you may have noticed, updates and pos...

National Park Girls Episode 4 Update - CG Preview

Happy Februarymas, friends and foes! We're back at ya with another NPG dev diary/blog/update/whatever this is.Progress on Episode 4 is going scarily well. Writing has been done for quite some time now. We're putting stuff in the build. Backgrounds are being turned in. And I'm sure you'll also be very excited to hear that CGs are nearly done. Suffice to say, the gap between Episode 3 and 4 isn't going to be nearly as severe as the gap between 2 and 3. I hesitate to give an estimation of a release date -- especially since we s...

A New National Park Girl in the Main Cast? A Brief Introduction to Death Valley (Potential Spoilers Ahead)

Hey everyone, Syon here! I wanted to do a special NPG update today. One that's not quite relevant yet, but will be upon Episode 5's release. If you're the kind of person who likes going into their fiction completely blind, this may not be the post for you. NATIONAL PARK GIRLS SPOILERS AHEAD.Now, let's get down to the nitty gritty.Every few months, we vomit a new National Park Girl into existence and stick her up on here and Twitter for you (and us tbh) to gaze and admire. But out of all the ones we've introduced so far, none...
