She's hit her goal for the World Wildlife Foundation! If you donate to Kilara's campaign she will summon a Familiar from the game to sit at the bottom of the screen while she streams.

So awesome to see our game be apart of such a great cause that's so fitting and close to our hearts.

On the left there is a graphic that reads Midwinter Spirits, December 01 - 08 in white text on a blue background. There are small stars dotted around the graphic. The S from Spirits is designed to look like a ghost. On the right is a graphic advertising the idle game Familiar Findings. It depicts a white haired elf opening a magical grimoire. Coming out of the book is a cat with two-tails. Behind her a small red dragon is flying over her shoulder. Above her head is purple text which reads Familiar Findings. The Fs in Familiar and Findings are designed to look like antlers, while the tail of the g resembles a dragon's wing. This is on a yellow background with purple stars dotted throughout.

@cosmicnexuss.bsky.social discovering the OpenDyslexic font in #FamiliarFindings reminded me to post it for #ScreenshotSaturday. Having multiple fonts for people to choose from to improve accessibility was an early decision we made in this project.

#cutegame #cozygame #nextfest
A screenshot of a codex page in Familiar Findings. The font is OpenDyslexic, which is a wide spaced font specifically designed to made reading easier for those with dyslexia. The page shows a small red dragon. The title says Hatchling, Tier 1 Dragon. There's a lore entry below that saying "These mischevious pups are closely guarded by their flock until their wings strengthen and fire ignites in their bellies.". There's a note from the writer of the codex below saying "How to Train your Dragon Familiar was my first ever book about Familiars. I still keep a copy in my library!"

A screenshot of the game Microvania. Shows the player character jumping through a waterfall, with the waterfall reacting to the character. There's also an enemy shooting at the player, and some sort of collectable on the top right that the player cannot seem to reach.

Spirit familiars value harmony and they often lend each other powers. Moroks, being made of spirit flames, are always happy to share their light with Oneiroi and Ghaists. How else would they ensure their lanterns last after all?
